I'll drive you back here to wait
and I'll 60 over to the boathouss

Less than half an hour later they
were back. Myrtle. engaged in
packing her own things when
Jerry telephoned. had promised to
bring out what she wanted.
"Have you 4 warm sweater!"

It was only after he was gone
that Jerry realized he might have
taken her with him Tiff he had
wanted to take her to his home!
The boathouse was at Carmoor. Of
course.
Suddenly. waiting for him at tho
waters edge seemed questionable to
her. Why. It was Just like watt
ing for man on street corner.
Some boys didn't know better than
to ask girl to do that, she told
herself. But Alester Carstairs did.
Myrtle had warned her. she re.
membered. Well, II he had an idea
that she was cheap.
Jerry's unpleasant reflections
were interrupted by sound on the
highway. 1t was not q familiar
sound, In q sense. but when Jerry
looked In the direction whence II
came she couldn't have told whether
she was pleased at what was 70
vealed to her. or whether she was
vexed about It.

didn't think they had to or not have

well. how about you? Have you

said directly.

Alester quizzed her.

"A career. perhaps?"
Jerry hesitated over her answer.
"Yes." she said slowly" a career

Alester. too, paused while.

youth ever got bored with life."
I'm not bored" Jerry denied.
II dream OF thrills. but I don't be-

she said simply; ''but I don't think

"Nonsense!" Alester exclaimed
impatiently. "But It's only semi.
private anyhow and want you

FQEFORE they reached the camp
- he stopped the car in a dark
spot at the side Of the road and put
an arm along the seat at Jerry's
back. She stihfened nervously.
whats the matter. afraid?" he
teased. Jerry regretted having let
him hold her hand. It always led to
greater familiarity. She had dis
covered that long ago. She wasn't
surprised at what he did. but she
hadn't expected Alester Carstairs
to cover his acts with the same sort
Of banter and char that boys Of her
class employed.
"No." she said coolly: "I'm not
afraid, because you are going to-
stop right now or I'll get out and
walk the rest Of the way"
Alester drew his hand OF her
shoulder and sat back to regard her
soberly.
"But you know" he said in an
injured tone. I'D love to kiss you
Jerry"
Her name slipped softly from his
lips and Jerry thought for an In.
slant that 1t might be nice to let
him kiss her. It was only for an
instant. however. The temptation
disappeared almost as soon as it
bad come.
But the brief instant startled her.
She wasn't in love with him. What
had made her think that kissing
would be nice1 It had always been
wholly repugnant to her before
when one Of the boys had tried to
paw her or possess her lips.
Take me home.r she said. SO
sharply that Alester obeyed her In
silence.
II was q new experience to him
to have his caresses refused. Why
