NEW YORK, June 3O.-The season
is seeing a notable reaction toward
the bouffant theme and the uneven
hemline in evening wear. but the
mode has so many variations that
shopping for an evening gown along
Fifth or Park n is a veritable
game.
Chiffon, lace. tulle and transparent
velvet are favored fabrics. And the
ensemble idea is being carried cut
with smartness, not only in models
intended for informal daytime wear,
but also in evening costumes.

her. 1--WE can't go on like this,
honey. Mrs. Stone would have a
right to think the worst of us-of
you-if we were not married when
she catches up with us. She would
be justified in thinking that Glen
Carson told the truth to the police
when he charged us with-with i'm
morality. Don't you see, darling
that we just must be married now?"
Then I'll run away by myself"
Sally flashed at him, springing to
her feet. I'm not going to have you
forced into marriage when you're
not old enough and not really ready
for it. You'd hate me for being a
drag on you"
"Sally!" David was on his feet
now and his stern voice checked her
before she had run a dozen steps
away from him. Come here!"
She crept into his arms, and laid
her head against his chest, so that
his heart beat strongly and steadily
just beneath her ear.
Listen, Sally, beloved" he urged
softly. 81 want to marry you more
than anything in the world. 1t
might have been better if we had
met and fallen in love when we
were both older, but fate took care
of that for us, and I'm only proud
and happy to be able to ask you
now to marry me. I'll not make
much money at first, maybe, but
neither of us has been used to a
great deal, and I promise you now
that I'll not fail you in love and
loyalty. I've never cared for any
other girl and I never will. Let's
not try to look too far ahead. We're
young and strong and in love. Isn't
that enough, sweet?"
eyes" she agreed, nodding her
head against his breast.
"Then let's travel" he laughed
jubilantly. "This is our wedding
day, Sally! Think of it, sweet! Our
wedding day!"
AS they plodded hand in hand
through the long hours before dawn
Sally thought of nothing else. She
was glad that walking made talking
a waste of energy, for she wanted
to think and feel and search her
heart and soul for treasure to lavish
upon the boy-man she was to
marry.
Marriage! The word made her
feel shivery and solmen and more
than a little frightened, but when
a shudder of fear made her hand
witch in Davids, the firm, warm
pressure of his fingers treasured
her. She resolutely forced her
mind away from the mysteries that
lay ahead of her, mysteries at which

her thoughts, his voice grave and,
it seemed to her, a little embar-

frightened a bit, just as she was!
That made it easier. She was sud-

much older than she, like Arthur

about 4 o'clock in the morning that
she could walk on further, he picked
her up in his big-muscled young
arms, and strobe proudly into the
dawn with her, and of course the
best antidote for fatigue and sleepi-

a little shy with each other, in

CHAPTER xXXVTr

"NH, let's say good-by to the car
~ nival!" Sally cried, home
sickness for the dearest family
she had ever known already tight
ening her throat with tears.
And so they paused, hand in hand,
on the crest Of the little hill which
rose at the end of Main Street, on
which Winfield Bybee's Bigger and
Better Carnival was selling temper
airy Joy and excitement to villagers
aR4d farmers weary of the insular
fnonotony of their lives.
There it all lay just below them
big tents and little tents with gay,
lying banners; the merry-go-round
with its music-box grinding out
Sweet Rosie O'Grady;" the ferris
wheel a gigantic loop Of lights. The
composite voice of the carnival came
up to these two children of carni-
val who were deserving it and the
roar, muted slightly by distance, was
like the music Of heavenly choir
in their ears.
'Listen!" Sally whispered, her
fingers closing tensely ever David's
arm. "Gus, ballayhooing The Pal
ace Of Wonders. I wonder If he'll
remember not to spell about 'Prin-
cess Lalla,'"
They could see him, small figure
from that distance, looking like
Jack-in- th-box as he waved his
arms and thundered the dear,
familiar phrases which Sally would
never forget it she lived to be a
hundred.
She was about to run back down
the HILL but David strobe after her
and put his arms about her comfort
ingly. "Sally, honey, we haven't
time! Throw them a kiss from here,
and then we've got to hurry away"
She broke from his embrace and
flung her arms out in a passionate
gesture of love and farewell. Good
by, Carnival. Thank you for shell
ter David and me! Good-by, Pop
Bybee and Mrs. Bybeel Good-by,
Gus! Good-by, Jan! Good-by, No
ko! Good-by, Boffo! And Babe!
Good-by, dancing girls! I hope you
all land on Broadway with zieg-
field! Oh, good-by, Pity Sing, dear
little Betty! Good-by, good-by!"
Then she flung herself upon Da-
vid's breast and held him tight
with all the strength in her thin
young arms. give only got you now,
David! Oh, David, what is going to
become of us? Do you really love
me, darling?"
She strained away from him, to
search his beloved face as well as
the darkness of the night would
permit. Family she could see the
tremble Of his tender, deeply carved
lips, so dearly boyish. His eyes
looked big and black in the night,
but there was a CLEAN of such di-
vine light in them that her fingers
crept up his face tremblingly and
closed his eyelids, for she sud-
denly felt abashed, unworthy of his
love.
II love you with every cell in my
body, every thought in my mind
and every beat of my heart" David
answered huskily. "And now let's
travel, honey. I don't know where
we're going, but we've got to put as
much distance as possible between
us and this town before morning."
But before they set off again he

ardent kisses that made her dizzy
and frightened even as they exalted
her, but shy, sweet touching of his
lips to her forehead. 1t was as il
he were telling her, wordlessly, that
she would be utterly safe with him
through the long, dark hours ahead
of them.
They did not talk much as they
walked steadily along the dirt
roads, choosing them in preference
to the frequented paved highway,
for David cautioned her to save
her breath for the all-important
task Of covering many miles before
daybreak. Neither of them had any
idea of the geography of this State
to which the carnival had brought
them, but they felt that it mattered
little. David, country bred, had an
instinct for direction. He had
chosen to turn toward the east, and
Sally trotted along by his side, SUI
premely confident that he would

tired that she could hardly put one

well and have a drink"
A three-quarters moon rode high
in the sky but it's light was inter
mittently obscured by ragged, scud-
ding clouds. When they had had
their drink of ice-cold ciStern water
David made a pillow Of his coat
which he had been carrying over
his arm, andl forced Sally to lie
down for while in the soft loan
of a recently ploughed field.
He sat a little distance from
her, not touching her, his knees
drawn up and clasped by his strong,
tanned hands, but his head was
thrown back and his eyes brooded
upon the cloud disturbed beauty of
the night sky.
Does your shoulder hurt, dar-
lingo" Sally asked anxiously.
mo-" he answered, without look
ing at her. "It's all healed. Just
a flesh wound, you know"
The tone Of his voice silenced her.
She knew he was brooding over
their future, puzzling his young
head as to what he was to do with
her, and she lay very still, humble
before his masculinity.
1--WE been thinking, Sally" he
said at last, gently. First, We'll
get married in the morning, or as
soon as we find county seat, and

"But David" Sally sat up, her
heart pounding with joy, but her
mind unexpectedly clear and log
ical, 1--WE mustn't, darling. You've
got to finish college, somehow,

from a sign post at a crossroads.

seat, and how to get there"
Sally watched him proudly as he
ran swiftly, apparently not at all
fatigued after seven hours of hik-

ing along the State highway. The
sun was in his tousled chestnut
hair, turning it into gold, and the
bigness and splendid beauty of his

heart offered up a prayer: please
