CHAPTER II

For just a moment Cathie had
been disappointed. She had had
an idea they might be going to
Honolulu. She had always
dreamed about going somewhere
on q ship. But Mr.. Farnsworth
said that he wasn't a very good
sailor, and besides, he could not
stay away from business so long.
Motoring south was very diff
ferent from what Cathie had
thought it would be. Once she
went to Los Angeles with the
Whites. It had not been very
much fun because she and Ad-
die White and the Whites old
dog, Toby, had been crowded
into the back seat with all the
SuitcaSeS, and Addie was very
car-sick. They had punctureS in
all the hottest places, and they
never arrived at q town at din

asked.
"Oh, gloriously!"
That was on the second or
third day Of the trip, when they
were staying at the big hotel at
Santa Barbara. And, indeed,
she did look gloriously happy,
with her eager little face alight
with pleased anticipation, and
her bright hair shimmering and
rumpled, as she pulled off the
dark green hat.
"You have made me very
happy" he said. He lifted the
small hand on which the i'm
mense solitaire blazed and kissed
it gently.
Something :. a last fear,

Cathie melted. He was so hum

were always trying to thank her
for having married him, and not
knowing just how to do it. With
sudden warm gesture she drew
her hand away, flung both arms
about his neck and clung to him.
"No! You've made me happy!"
she cried.
She was hugging him tightly,
her cool, fresh cheek close to his.

Happy? OF course! Why

time she wanted to do some
thing strenuous, and now she
knew that it was really because
he wanted to rest.
But it was hard, because they

She got used to her new
