Trust Me, Ardeth"

Don't be afraid, Ardeth,"
he said softly. "Just trust me
- just give me a chance.
I'll make things come right for
U.S."
She stood on the pavement,
watching the red tail-light Of
his car disappear about the
corner and, as always, the chill
sense of forlornness crept over
her.
Why should she feel this, she
thought with a sharp sensation
OF alarm. on this night of all
nights when Ken had told her
that he loved her? When they
had spoken of being married?
This was silly nervousness:
This was borrowing troublel
Ken'S mother couldn't keep
them apart. She must not let
her doubt creep into her love
for him. She must be strong.
The glamour Of the night
fell away as she walked down
the street toward the Harrison
flat, shrinking inwardly from
the ring of her own heels on
the cement.
Things-unpleasant common
place things, relegated to the
corners of her mind-stole out
to oVerwhelm her. The old, grey
life closing in on her. The shah
bin e s-the bickering-Aunt
Stel's nagging-Neils watchful,
black eyes and the faint, irri-
tated fear he could always rouse
in her. The present stretched
before her like a grey bridge
which she must cross to reach
that bright future with Ken.

Ken Explains

He felt that her face was
wet. Tasted the salt of her
tears on his lips and his arms
frightened.
MY girl" his voice came
smothered against her hair.
MAD about you from the first.
)" lovely golden thing, you!"
The light had darkened per
ceptibly when Ken spoke again.
"We'll have to go a little
slow at first, sweetheart. I
have to consider Mother, you
know. If I went to her and
told her we've were going to
be married, it would be sort of
q shock to her. You know how
old people are, Ardeth. And I
don't want to hurt her if I can
help it. We don't want to
hurt anyone with our happi-
ness, do we, sweetheart"
His face was a vague white
blur in the thick light when
she glanced up.
"Of course, if she knew you
she couldn't help but love you.
I only wish T could take you
to her this very minute and say
Mother, here's my girl! We're
going to be married'-that's
what I'd like to do, Ardeth.
But Mother's-well, she's a
trifle peculiar-I don't mean to
be harsh" he said quickly.
"But the dear old girls going
to need a little managing"

There Stood Neil!

She went softly up the steep
steps of the flat and let herself
in with her latchkey. The IA
miliar musty smell of the hall
crept about her as she closed
the door quietly. It brought a
feeling of depression and guilt.
Aunt Stel would be furious be-
cause she hadn't come home for
dinner. Ardeth hoped she was
in bed-too wearying to talk to
Aunt Stel tonight.
She had turned to group her
way to. the staircase which led
to the upper flat when she
started and stifled a small
scream.
A tall figure looming before
her in the dark hall. The weak

ing in through the colored glass
panel of the door lit NeiTs face.
He graSped her wrist.
"Where've you been?" he asked

to make you run away"
She flushed and tried to
laugh. "Oh you don't
know my family! I've never
been able to have any one visit
me, but" She checked her
self. The thought of Neil was
disturbing just now.
Harder than ever to leave
him tonight on the dark corner
where he always parked the
car. Fell Street and it's gaunr

in the night shadows.
Her eyes were wistful and she
clung as they said good night.

afraid ." ="
He did not pretend to mis-
understand her. His arm tight
ened about her slender figure.
Sweet golden eyes looking up at
him anXiouSly-almost black

car. Her mouth was like a soft
dark flower. The young fel-

Her Pride Was Hurt

Warned by her proud little
movement he drew her closer
and spoke hastily. "Ah-don't
get your back up, sweetheart.
You know I've made up my
mind for myself-but let's try
not to hurt anyone in this?
You'll help me, won't you dar-
ung?"
Deep in her heart faint doubt
was stirring and her pride was
hurt. But she crushed it as dis
loyal. Ken was right they
didn't want to hurt anyone with
their happiness.
Darkness enfolded them be-
fore they remembered. with
rush of laughter, that they had
had no dinner.
