package down on the table
in front of him. "Just a
hundred of them, Dad.
Mr.. Macy nodded.
He was peering over the
top .of his glasses at John
Lawler. He came around the
table and held out his hand
to him.
Glow d'you do. sirf" he
asked, and John shook hands
with him.
'FFine-How are you,
sir9" he asked. He was very
brisk and hearty now-very
much the young. man of the
world. "Saw you in tie
bank today, didn't I, Mr..
Macy"
Ann Marie's father
seemed to become even
smaller than he actually
was. He gave a nervous lit
tie cough.
sob, yes! yes, indeed!"
He answered almost too
quickly. Yes, L dropped
in at the bank to see your
father about-about a loan.
A small loan . =" Yes, in
deed!"
He rubbed his hands to-
gether as he talked. He was
still beaming at John from
; behind his glasses, but there
was something pleading in
his look-something pathetic
in his politeness towards the
younger man.
Ann Marie s tender heart
ached for him. She knew
that he had a great many
money troubles. She knew
that he had put what her
brother Howard called a
plaster" on the old brown
single house, and that he
was always asking for little
loans at Mr.. LAWYERS bank.
All afternoon she had
been intending to ask him to
pay her a couple of dollars
for the Christmas cards she
had been painting for him.
But now she. suddenly
changed her mind . It
wouldn't hurt her to do,
some work for him once in
q while and ask nothing for
it, would it? Poor little Dad,
trying so hard to make his
book shop pay. Trying so
hard to give his expensive
family the things that other
folks had
"Dad, you look tired"
she said, and laid one Of her
small capable hands over
one of his for just a second.
"Why don't you go home
and lie down for an hour be-
fore support I'll look after
the store. +"
She put up her hands to
take off her hat. But he
wouldn't let her stay. !
He was very firm about
it. "No, no." he said posi-
lively. "You're not going.

where she had left him I'M

ruby-red shade. He was
still fidgeting with his hat.

her. His gray eyes were
very friendly and eager.

"Crazy about it," an
swered Ann Marie promptly.
She loved a party. All Of
it-from the moment she
began to dress for it in her
only evening gown and her
silver slippers to the mo-
ment when she came quietly
into the house at midnight
on tired and aching feet.
"Only I haven't a single
thing to wear but that old
yellow dress of mine. Care"
He held the door open for
her. "Of course / don't
care what you wear, Ann
Marie. Anything you wear
is-all right. =
What he was thinking and
what he wanted to stay was
that she was a raving beauty
no matter what she wore
? But. he couldn't say
it to her any more than he
could. take her into his
arms when he wanted to-.
He stood, flushed and
silent and awkward, while
she passed him. and stepped
out upon the porch.
A thin cold rain had be-
gun to fall and the glow Of
the headlights on John s
/. roadster was reflected in
the wet cleaning pavement.

car. "Some time I'm 60

that you're crazy about. "
That was as near as he
had ever come to telling her
that he was in love with her.
He laughed nervously after
he had said it.
Chow are you going to
find time to paint pictures,
Ann Marie9" he said a few
seconds later when they
were turning into Front
Street. "You know what I
meant You'll get married
like all girls and you won't
have any time for painting
pictures, will you? I know
my mother is always saying
she can't find time to do
half the things she wants to
do. If a woman keeps house
and has children and goes
out with her husband some
times in the evening"
He stopped talking sud-
denly as if his brain had
stopped working at that
point. And Ann Marie was
too surprised to ask him to

started to say.
For he never had talked

Lawler, and marched out of
the store.
81 can't imagine what
Howdy does with his own
money-the money he earns
at the bank, I" she went on
when they were standing
outside in the shelter of the
doorway.
"He doesn't make very
much, !" John told her, light
ing cigarette, mot even
as much as I do-and /
don't make anything. I'm
so poor that | couldn't even
have a car if my Dad didn't
kick in with a little cash
once in a while. ("
Ann Marie looked him
over, measuring him, taking
him in point by point-his
expensive-looking gray hat,
his blue linen shirt with col
lar to match, his tailormade
clothes, his platinum watch
chain, the diamond in his
signet ring.
eyes, but your father is
a very rich man, Johnny, :"
she said solemnly, "and our
Dad-Howdy's and mine
is as poor as Jobs turkey.
Howdy hasn't any right to
ask him for a cent. Instead
of that, he ought to be help
ing Dad a little. "
Before she had finished
taking she saw that he was
only half-listening to her.
She had laid her hand on his
arm as she talked to him,
and he was looking down at
it intently.
HThen he looked from it
to her face. His eyes had
darkened and they met hers
with a sort Of hunger in
them. She saw his nostrils
culver as he drew his breath
in quickly, keenly.
"Come along" he said
and took her arm, drawing
her close to him as he never
had tried to draw her be-
fore.
The roadster waited for
them at the curbstone, its
side-curtains on, all warm
and dark and snug.
Ann Marie shook her head
"ss She didn't want to
climb into that roadster just
then and she wasn't going

Johnny Lawler was going to

to her in this way before.
He never had said much of
anything serious or import
ant to her before. All Of
his talk had been about foot
ball games he had seen dur
ing his four years at col
lege or about some new
dance music that he had
heard lately or about a
travel book that he had been
reading.
Neither Of them spoke un-
til the roadster slowed down
and stopped at the curb out
side Mr.. Mays book store
on Front Street near Garden
Court.
Then Ann Marie answered
one of the questions he had
just asked her.
81 don't intend to get
married, Johnny" she said
slowly. He was helping her
out of the car, and she stood
on the step a few inches
above the sidewalk. Her
eyes were on a level with his
eyes. I'm going to study
painting until | know just
about everything there is to
know about it-and then
I'm going to paint pictures,
myself. You watch me !"
"Oh, I'll watch you all
right, "she told her, Sim all
eyes where you're concerned,
Ann Marie. -
He was. He never looked
at anyone else-or at any
thing else-when she was
around. His eyes were full
of a sort Of sick longing
now as he followed her into
her fathers store.
Mr.. Macy was a small
gray man. His thin hair
was gray and SO was his
wisp of a mustache. His
eyes were blue-gray and
very meek and mild behind
his horn-rimmed spectacles.
His shiny suit was gray. His
necktie was cheap flimsy
gray -and-black silk.
But his shop was as gay
and bright-colored a. it
could be. It was lined with
shelf sitter shelf of books in
their brilliant bin dings.
Every light was covered
with an orange-colored silk
shade that had been made
by the nimble fingers of his
daughter, Ann Marie. The
chairs had been painted a
cheerful orange color, and.
there was a row Of potted
plants in the back window.
When Ann Marie and John
Layler opened the door Of
the shop he was standing be-
hind the table where Christ
mas cards were on sale,
counting them and stacking
them in neat piles.
"Here are the ones you
asked me for this noon, {"
Ann Marie told him, and
she laid square white

going to kiss her. She knows
it just as she knows how
to breathe. By instinct.
"Wait a minute, JOHNNY"
she said, one foot on the
step Of the roadster, ST want
to look into that show
window across the street.
And before he could say
a word to stop her she was
running across the wet pave
ment to the Boston Store on
the other side of Front
Street.
In the middle of the bright
ly-lighted show window was
a pair of yellow stockings
pale yellow fishnet stock
ings just the color Of Ann
Marie's one and only dane
ing dress. The dress that
she was going to wear to
the Country Club dance on
Christmas Eve.
A price tag was fastened
on them. They were just
two dollars ss" Only two
dollars, and she had intended
to ask her father for two
dollars for her afternoons
work! /" Two dollars,
and Howdy had taken just
that much away from him
five minutes before.
She turned away from the
window and started slowly
back to the car.
Johnny stood beside it,
waiting for her. His cigaret
glowed like a red star in
the darkness.
It became a shower Of
sparks-a make-believe sky
rOcket-as he tossed it down
into. the streaming gutter.
He held open the door Of
the roadster and she got
into it. He dropped down on
the leather seat beside her
and slammed the door. The
windshield was covered with
raindrops that ran down the
glass on the outside. Rain
drops battered on the top Of
the little car . - 1t was
very dark inside.
But even IN the darkness
Ann Marie could tell that
Johnny hawler was look
ing at her very hard and
earnestly-intently.
Cam Marie he said.
His voice wasn't like his
voice as she knew it.
His arms went around her.
"Don III" Ann Marie shook
her head, 81 don't want you

the front doorbell rang.
She ran down the stairs,
slipping out of the smock
that covered her blue crepe

self as she opened the. door
to the man who stood out
side ON the porch.
Hello, joint she said to
him. How nice to see you!
And if you'd come two min
utes later you'd have missed
me-! I was just going down
town to take some cards to
my father. -
John Lawler came into
the hall. "Glad l didn't
miss Won" he said shortly
and awkward1y. "Put your
things on y =" I'll take
you down to your dads
store. Glad to-"
John Lawler was the
"catch" of the little subur-
ban town. He was %, just
starting work in his fathers
bank, and very good looking
in a blond, lanky sort Of
way.
A good-looking man can
attract almost any girl that
he wants to attract.
A man with plenty Of
money can attract nine girls
out of ten. @
! Young John Lawler, with
both money and good looks,
knew deep down in his
bachelor heart that he could
have his pick of the girls in,
town-with one exception.
That one exception was
Ann Marie Macy.
He never had been able to
get far with. her, and he did
not know why, He had been
coming here to the old
J. brown shingle house to call
on her once or twice a week
for the past year. > ~
But so far he had never
been able to screw up
enough courage to even try
to kiss her, although he
wanted to every time he
laid his eyes on her.
So far he had not even
dared to slip his arm along
the back of the seat of his
ear when she went driving
with him, although he had
made love to every girl who
ever had gone for a drive in
it with him.
And when he was with
her he was always awkward
and nervous and i'll at ease.
He shifted from one foot
to the other now as he stood
looking down at her, and he
fidgeted with the gray felt
hat that he was holding in
his hands.
Ann Marie smiled at him
"a lovely smile that erin
killed. up the corners Of her
blue eyes and made deep
dimples in her cheeks. Ann
Marie was prettier than
most girls, but when she
smiled she was a dream!
"I'll run upstairs and get
the cards, Johnny" she
said. Her voice was sweet
and soft and a little bit
husky. 81 won't be but two
minutes. There's a fire in
the CRATE in the sitting
room. Go in and warm your
self. This halls always cold
as a tomb. Z"
She gave him a little
shove towards the door of
the sitting room and ran up
