meantime inveighing against the
sl1iftlessness Of the O'Days.
All this passed through Nancy's
mind as she watched John Blair
eat, and she couldn't help but
wonder who he was. What kind
OF work was he doing?
Just as he finished the last
crumb OF his pie, the shrill music
OF a steam piano, circus CAL
Hope, sounded above the changing
OF locomotive bells and the hiss
ing of steam.
"A calliopen' Nancy fairly sang.
"O--o-o-h! How / love a cal
Hope. How love circus.
The flecks of gold in her eyes
glinted like little sparks of fire
and she all bur danced a JIG De-

Blair. Does a circus give you a

/ love the noise of it and the ex-
element, the smells. / love the
odor of freshly laid sawdust, the
popcorn stands, the tents, the tar.
The animals, even--that is from
a distance"
She said that last-''from a dis
tance' so slowly and with so
little real conviction, that they
both burst out laughing.
What better introduction does a
young chap and girl need than
a good laugh over anything? That
laugh brought them together as
no formal introduction ever could.
When John Blair laughed Nancy
saw that his teeth were strong
and white. Not pearls by any
means. She disliked a man who
was too good looking. She liked
his smile She liked his hearty
laugh. She was just about de-
Gliding she liked everything about

them, and Linda heard excited

ropes and furniture. until at last
she came into the comparative
darkness OF the right hand wings.
In front Of her ran wall of

saw a metal door.
She threw herself upon It. It
was not locked, but swung back
under her touch, with q rush OF

A delicious day it was. one Of
those cool. sparkling days that
sometimes rout the heat of sum-

the people of the Fox River val
ley know so well.
Nancy was alone in her little
domain now, her back TO the
counter. One of the little silver
handles on the great coffee tank
had loosened and she was trying
TO tighten it in spite of the fact
|, that il was almost red hot. She
would give it a twist and then

ing her hand and saying 90

that she did not hear customer

turned suddenly TO look straight

John Blair laughed outright.
What you need, young lady,
Is a pair of asbestos, gloves" he
The Washington times., 1928-08-06

said. Let me come around there
and give 1t twist"
Before Nancy could say yes or
around the counter, took the
leaking spigot between a strong
brown thumb and forefinger,
gave it a quick twist and the
job was done.
And though 1t took but a
second, Nancy's eyes finished
thorough appraisal of the tall
young man. He was more than
six feet, broad shouldered, small
wasted.
She noticed his high laced boots
with little splotches of red clay
still clinging to the heels and
about the soles. His shirt was of
khaki, and he wore a narrow
black tie. His hands, his face,
his neck, were burned bronze.
Even his hair was sunburned
sort of yellowing tan.
in her quick inventory Nancy
noticed that he didn't call her
"sweetie,' like so many of the
young chaps who came to the
counter. She knew there was
something different about this
man the moment she looked at
him. She knew that with him
there would be no need for sharp
come backs" though really she
took an impish delight in hand
ing back as good as she got in
the way of saucy conversation.
Nancy knew that this was a
real man. and gentleman.
She watched him eat. Most of
the men who came to the coun.
ter took bite of pie and guIped
a mouthful OF coffee--bite, gulp,
bite, gulp. Here was man who
was dressed like laborer, but
who had the manners that go
with good breeding.
OF course. one couldn't always
tell by appearances. There was
dear old Dairy ODay. He was
one who took a bite and q gulp,
gulp and bite. Dairy. the
kitchen stove philosopher, always
just going, to find a job or just
missing one. But Nancy loved
him just the same.

served at the depot lunch counter
was a common experience. During
the course, of two years she had
learned to pass off all sorts of
familiarities and invitations. But
here was an invitation that plz-
zled her.
She loked straight into the blue
eyes of John Blair. Was she
being fooled as she had been
fooled so many times during her
apprenticeship? Before she learned
about men from men. Was he the
type that would want to drive her
into the country and them make
love to her?
She dropped her eyes before
the steady look in the ones that
seemed so very. very blue In con-
trast to the bronze skin, the sun
burned hair.
He made no explanations. He
wasn't smart about 1t. and he
didn't pull any slang Quick
thinking, shrew reader Of human
nature. Nancy made her decision
suddenly.
''Yes, I'd love it. I think a
circus is the grandest thing on
earth"
John Blair smiled, his own
eyes Frightening with the en-
thusiasm of the very unusual
little waitress before him. This
too, was an experience for him.
So. many Of the young girls he
had met wene too willing to be
dated up.
IN call for you at 1880 then"
he said. And where?"
Nancy gave the address Of the
ODay cottage on Lawrence
Street.
She hardly recognized her own
voice. She was trembling.

agent in his little booth saw
Linda's dash through the wait
ing room. just as the train whiS-
tied to be off. The taxi driver
came in to warm his hands at
the stove, after the train pulled
out, and discussed the strange
ness OF her goings-on with the
ticket agent.
Linda took the last seat in the
rear coach, and settled herself to
concentrate on the ornate carving
OF the woodwork, to count sheep
or listen to the argument going on
up front over the McNary Iaugen
bill not to think of that crowded
theater and the screaming girl in
the orchestra pit.
