 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER 1N
 Sally stopped dead still on the stairs.
 4 sudden fear went thrilling through her -- fear that John N%e would look ur all al once and soe her standing there in her dancing dress. with her little blue mask half covering her fare.
 For Sally had come to the place where sh" was deeply ashamed Of her nightly exhibition dance on the polished floor of Aunt Emily'a din- ing room.
 To begin with. she had not hoon tho least hit ashamed of dancing in public. She had been shy, but not ashamed at all. She had started out by being as natural as q child that dances to the music of a street pi- ano or with it's own shadow in the sunlight.
 Then Aunt Elm had told her "shimmying' was d sight and q disgrace.
 Next Mrs. Jerome had wept about it. and hunted up the old satin mask 10 hide her shame, as she put it.
 Then. last Of all, Ted Sloan had confessed that he was ashamed of making "a holy show on the dance floor with her six nights q week.
 It was no wonder that Sally's face grew hot and scarlet under it's mask as sine stood there on the wide steps, looking down into the hall below, and that she stepped quickly back into the shadow of the landing halfway up the flight.
 If John should see me- she gaspod inwarGlv. one hand on her breast where she could feel her heart beating away with all it's might and main, not to mention, speed.
 raniC-strickrn. she turned and flew up the stars 10 her room With the door safely locked. she stripped off th, hlue-and- silver dress, wiped the paint from her face, kicked off the satin slippers.
 Five minutes later q very domure Sally slipped down inc back stairs of the big house, "nvclcpcd in a clean. white bungalow apron.
