The other night a friend was gazing
at an airplane. He was joined by q
stranger, fairly well attired. In true
American fashion, they began to talk.
The stranger Informed our friend that
he was walking from New England to
his mountain home In the Southwest.
He explained that his health was bad
and he was seeking his way back, where
he might not die among strangers.
Let 1t be recorded that we are not dis
crC1liting the mans story. He said that
he had walked that day from Baltimore,
butl was hitch-hiking whenever an OPP
portunity afforded. He had ridden
blind baggage" too. So far he had not
spent cent in travel. He was simply
depending on his two sturdy feet and
the kindness of the public-when he
was not stealing rides from railroads,
He told our friend that he had not
eaten that day, although he had walked
from Baltimore. He said he had 81 900,
but wished to save it In the event of an
emergency.
The Washington man looked over his
friend carefully. and inquired why he
had eaten nothing. Some excuse was
given.

The slim shoulders moved In q

OF course, there would be many

Danny's life had not been ordi-

More days went BY and Iris
showed a little, stubborn line
about her chin. She was seeing
Danny often. Mary believed, but
as yet had not thrown down an
ultimatum. tearing to lose him.
She was turning over the greater
part OF whatever funds she could
get from her father or coax from
her mother to Junior for his
silence; these seemed to prove
sufficient to strike away his mo-
roseness and bring back some OF
the insouciance that had been

Mary Rand rose and went to the
door. Dick followed her. She
whispered suddenly:

the house with me? l want to

Dick followed her outside. A
trim roadster was parked there,
and Mary took the wheel. They
sped towards the city in silence.
They could not say what filled
their minds, nor could they utter
trivial commonplace.
And to Dick everything seemed
unreal. Traffic lights. crowds,
store windows, people moving se-
dately about their varied bust
nesses and duties--everytining as
II nothing in the world had ever
happened, or ever would happen!
Then suddenly he found Mary's

she did speak, her voice was curl
ollsly tremulous.

than anything he had ever thought
