 CHAPTER xxx.
 Norma gave a sharp tug at her slipper heel then stood up. She looked across the room. "I'm frightened, Mark!" she said "I wish I didn't feel this way but I can't help it!"
 But, honey, you know that's foolish. There's not a reason in the world for you to be afraid"
 T know! Maybe that's why I'm so worried. Everything looks all right. It sounds all right when you tell about 1t. But five whole weeks how do you know?-it might be six! Anything can happen in six weeks, Mark! Oh-I don't want you to go!''
 She was wearing the peach-col- ored frock that had come from Fanchon's. The slippers, also peach colored, had frivolous heels of gold. Norma's hair had been brushed to a metallic luster. Her arms and shoulders were like warm ivory. Every detail of her appear ance was meticulously correct, but instead of the charming picture she should have presented the girls face was pale and her eyes were uneasy.

 'I've told you everything's going l to be all right" he insisted, att tacking the second tie and mak- ing a betetr job of it. You're | just looking on the black side of | things. Instead of five weeks 1t | may be four"
 Norma leaned against the arm of the davenport. watching him. Her brightly reddened lips quiv- cred slightly. T wouldn't mind"
