So Jimmy had done that. had
broken an engagement that might
have meant much to him, for her
sake. And she was using him,
deliberately using him to make
Bill jealous. She tried to put
the thought from her mind. She
was afraid il she considered it
too long, she would suddenly
confess, tell the unflattering
truth, just to be honest and
square with Jimmy Mccormick.
The game was over The big
crowd moved at a snail's pace to-

twittered, while Sally hooked her
into it. Dear me, hope he
won't find me too changed.
But, so far as that goes, he'll
be nine years older, himself"
Sally could remember her father
only dimly. Her most vivid recol-
lection of him was of an after
noon when he had taken her to
the circus.
She had been only seven years
old at the time, but she still could
remember how she had chung to
him with her hot, damp little
hand, in terror, when the lion had
roared--and how he had bought
her peanuts and popcorn and the

straw in it.
And she could remember that
he had worn a blue suit and a
straw hat with q colored band
around it. and had laughed q
great deal and held her high on
his shoulder as he pushed his
way through the crowd after the
circus.
1t was that memory of him that
she had held and loved for 13
years, and she still expected him
to be young and gay and strong.

that she could not keep up her

"Oh Bill, you don't know how
much I like you"
The warmth had gathered In
her tones, had swept her schem-
ing. her calmness before it. She
wondered if she had said too
much. She must wait-wait--
wait until it was safe to show
him she did care like that!
But he was smiling, he had
sighed with relief

ever so covertly around she could
see no sign of Bill. But then
she had not realized that a single
section could contain so many
people. 1t might be easy to miss
seeing him at all.
Then at last she saw him. He
saw her at the same instant. She
waved and smiled. He glanced at
her in indignant surprise. His
gaze passed on TO Jimmy and re-
turned to her. All at once he
looked away. Thereafter Ann sat
watching the baseball game. She

looked up and asked him ques-

that seemed to cheaper the pure

something happened that made

And she dawdled over her dinner,

time. Where was George? She
didn't know, and she wasn't even
curious tonight.
Then she went out to join Bill,
holding one slim hand out to him.

hoarsely.

He didn't answer. but his lower
lip actually trembled. They
strolled out OF the house. 1t was
fine, quiet night, with many
stars but no moon.
They wandered down the street
together and crossed towards the
park. There were benches there
and shrubbery and silence. There
were the stars and the soft night

steps that took her breath to

He said violently and abruptly:

CHAPTER xxXV
At 1890 that night, Sally had
everything in readiness for her
fathers homecoming.
A lunch of cold baked ham and
bread and butter was laid for him
on the dining room table. The
coffee-pot bubbled cheerily over a
low fire on the stove in Sally's
spotless kitchen.
She had carried all Of Miles
fancy, frilly things out of the
room that once had belonged to
Beau, and slowed them away in
the room that she and Mile had
shared for so many years.
There was clean linen on the
bed where her father was to sleep,
and q matchbox and ash-tray on
the table beside it.
Thus, in her own small way,
Sally had prepared a welcome for
him.
Mrs. Jerome, too, had made
preparations for his coming. She
had waved her plentiful hair and
put on her best dress of gray
silk.
