But the bride and groom
were nowhere IN sight.
"Perhaps they've gone TO

Marie hopefully, "and I
won't have to see them.
She went up the walk.
On the porch sat Mrs.
Leezy, tanning herself with
the evening newspaper.
Howdy and Stella rocked
gently to and fro in the
hammock couch. Stella was
singing softly, and her voice
was the voice Of content

Ann Marie, standing at the

Mr.. Macy was sprinkling
the lawn at the side of the

said bitterly. "Alice and

called after him by the un-
squelschable Soapy.
What the devil was getting
into him? wondered the
young fellow in puzzled
anger. He'd never been this
way about a girl before.
There'd been lots of girls, of
course-he'd always had a
way with women. Like
that girl of Noofchatow. =.
But this one was different.
Something about that lit

Stag chuckled. Won
der if she was sore this
morning?
He slanted a glance across
the yard at the house.
A child's small figure
alone was visible in a kitch-
en- window.
Stag had an inspiration.
Slipping into the barn he
snatched up Soapy's ukelele
and wandered aimlessly
over to the house twanging
the strings.
The maneuver was sue
cessful. The door opened
and jacques and Nanette
clattered onto the porch,
greeting him with toothful
grins.
Stag mounted to the rail
and prepared to entertain

the solution 10 the whole
awful problsmI - Brooke
Walters money. He'd un-
doubtedly be perfectly will
ing to lend her two thou
sand dollars, provided she
would pay it back to him at
so much a week. Especially
when she told him what it
was for.
"Jeanie will make him
lend it to me-" she thought.
"She won't want to have
Howdy disgraced just now

her place here as Brooke's
wife,"
But where were theyH
Jeanie and Brooke hadn't
told soul where they were
going on their honeymoon.
They had just started away
in Brooke's car amid show
ers of rice and old shoes.
The one person who might
know where they were was
Alice. For Jeanie and Alice
had never had any secrets
from each other. They had
fought and bickered. They
had stolen each others

As Ann Marie started up
the stairs she could hear the
quarrel going on between
the newly-weds.
