Where are you bound for?" Su-

table. After all, she might as well
be pleasant to this young man.

We'll, we can get ginger ale"
Susan said comfortingly. What a
strange young man he was. For a
moment or two he seemed incon-
solable over the absence Of his
thermos. Susan repeated a little
impatiently, 1T doesn't matter at
ALL"
Heavens" she thought. '1s he
going to spoil my lovely day Just
when was beginning to enjoy my
self?"
But the moment passed and soon
they were laughing and talking like
old friends. They sat on a little
hillock near the lagoon.
Ben spread out newspapers so
that Susan's pink shantung frock
should remain innocent of grass
stain. Over the shared sandwiches
and the ginger ale, they came to
friendlier understanding of each
other.

the girl thought in surprise.
The boy said to himself, Lord,
but she's prettier than I remem-

Susan brushed the crumbs from
her skirt and Ben made parcel of
the debris which he deposited in
one of those huge baskets park
officials have disposed on tree
trunks for the benefit of tidy citi-
zens.
Let's go for row." he proposed.
Il didn't know you could" Susan
said.
Sure. You get the boats over

Susan, "but we've got to watch the
time. I must meet my aunt with

TT was pleasant to drift along on
Il the green water, to dabble your
hands and sit back luxuriously as
a young man rowed.
Susan wondered if Cleopatra had
felt like this as she floated down
the Nile. She smiled at the
ridiculous thought and looked up to
find Ben's eyes fixed upon her.
This is nice" she said confused
ly. He nodded. He had taken his
coat off and for the first time she
noticed how broad his shoulders
were under the thin white shirt.

Rose had said? Well, he didn't look
much like a farm GOV now. He
looked more like a young poet or

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

TT was Saturday afternoon during
Il the third week Of Aunt Jessie S
absence. Susan had received a wire
only that morning saying her aunt
would return on the z o'clock train.
Now, at / o'clock, the long after
noon yawned before her. Is there
anything in all the world so dreary
as a half holiday spent alone?
The world seems full Of chatter
ing, noisy groups and couples. Young
men with tennis racquets, girls in
thin white, elderly men with golf
bags, mothers with children bound
for the beaches.
Susan couldn't decide quite what
to do with herself. She wandered
down to Michigan avenue, decided
against lunching alone, and finally
managed to struggle to the top of a
north bound bus.
She would buy some sandwiches,
she decided, and get off the bus in
Lincoln park and picnic all by her
self. That would be better than 60
ing home to an empty house.
It was such a day as occasionally
comes to Chicago in August, day
divinely blue, superbly cool. The
sun was warm and yet already, so
early as this, there was a hint Of
autumn's crispness in the air.
Susan took off her hat and let the
lake breezes ruffle her hair into lit
tie ringlets. She felt perfectly happy,
at peace with the world. 1t was
luxury, just to be alone on such a
day as this. She felt superior to the
noisy groups she had envied half an
hour before.
While they we're wearing them
selves out on tennis courts or golf
links, She, Susan Carey, would en-
JOY the glory of the day
The bus was bowling along
through the green park now. There
were glimpses of the lake through
the trees and to the west you could
see the roof of the refectory. Susan
decided to alight.
AS she proceeded down the aisle,
swaying and clutching at the backs
OF seats to steady herself, she heard
her name called.
Hello, Miss Carey" The bus
swayed TO a stop and she turned
around to catch the eye of Ben
Lampman.
I'm getting off here" she said
wildly and unnecessarily, since her
purpose was apparent. She flung
herself down the stairs, the young
man at her heels.
Il didn't mean-you needn't have
bothered-I'm terribly sorry you"
He smiled at her. Il wasn't 60
ing any place in particular.

Susan gasped. She felt as II a
thunderbolt had fallen.
What could she say? She could
think Of nothing. She looked at
him and looked away again, unable
to hear the terrible earnestness Of
his gaze.
She gasped. But I hardly know
you'll never even dreamed"
Gloomily the young man said.
That's just it. knew you would
say that. Don't you believe in love
at first sight?"
Susan stared. Eyes. guess so.
But what has that to do"
