ly. She wanted to move them so the agony would be ended.
 There was knock at the door. "Yes?" she called inquiringly. Not her cue. Oh, she hoped it wasn't! she could go on couldn't '. couldn't couldn't .. This was @ nightmare from which she would waken It couldn't really be hap pening to her. She would have known better than to have placed herself in such an embarrassing situation. Of course it was a dream. She was going to wake up now! But someone was opening the door in response to her sum- mons.
 Dale Courtney stood there. He smiled at her with a brotherly friendly sort of interest. Nothing more. Ruth didn't know how her excited senses registered that.
 How are you coming?" he asked.
 I'm frightened" she said sim ply. What made me promise to do it?"
 "You'1l be better because you are frightened. Forget everything but the music. Do the things it makes you want to do. You're next. I'll go down with you.
 Ruth finished adjusting the golden tan mask. She searched CT large, scared eyes in the mir TOT. Then she turned to him. I'm ready"
 They went down two narrow iron stairways, across a space that was cluttered with scenery, trunks, ropes, everything. They came to the wing. The act before Ruth's was leaving. The applause was heavy. The couple who had been putting on a song and dance act came back and then ran out again to take another bow. Ruth noticed that the girl was natural, at ease. Evidently a seasoned trouper who took her success with light-heart- ed kind of gaiety. Ruth wished that she could be that way.
 You are going to knock every one cold" Dale Courtney was whispering to her. "Your own sister is here. She got excited last night about the mystery dancer. And, by the way, the cook left last night, too, when she found out about guests and that you weren't there to help. turned chef. I'm good at it. I'll show you later I'm getting up party at my apart ment to celebrate your success"
 Tonight ?" Ruth asked.
 Tonight! There's your cue. Good luck."
 Ruth started for the stage. But her legs were cold and numb. She must move, she told herself. She must! The orchestra was repeat ing the cue.

Back stage at the Palace was very confused. People were rush. ing here and there, or else saunter- ing around as though all the time in the world hung on their hands.
 Local girl trying to make good" somebody said as Ruth came by and she caught the amuse- ment in the mans tone. Her cheeks burned. She passed him quickly.
 The dressing room to which she was assigned had a gray metal dressing table with a bench in front of it, row of hooks for cos tunes, chaise lounge and chair.
 She liked the costume she was to wear-the mad, bright harmony of the colors that blended instead of clashing as she had expected them to do. She liked the way the added excitement made her eyes sine. She also liked the deepen- ing flush of her skin.
 But I'll get out there and fall down. I can't do it, I cant. I can't" She told herself. If she just had someone with whom to talk. she unused. Somebody to wish her courage. Courtney was busy. She was just one of the people on his bill anyway. Joe Raynor |. Joe didn't care what happened to her. She was being foolish.
 The hands of the clock were go- ing too fast. She wanted to grab them and hold them fast. Then suddenly they were going too slow

During the early days of the year Peter kept referring to the busi ness inventory. Nancy heard the words inventory" and budget" over and over. Finally she began to think of her business-that of being a homemaker-in something of the same terms. She was com mitted to a budget and a work able one at that. But this idea of inventory was something rather new. It is true she had lists of the contents of all her belongings. The inside lid of each trunk held list of the contents. Her silver drawer was listed" as well as her linen
 loset and fancy linen supply.
 One day a man came to ask for any sort of work. another day she was called twice by neighbors who asked her whether she could not find some work for needy men.
 That night she and Peter sat down and made an inventory of small repairs and modernizing jobs which needed to be done about their house.

"I'm not so sure of that. Here is a peculiar thing. The girl is your size and build. In fact, if I didn't know what sensible little lady you were, I'd be positive that she was you. But I know you too we'll to think that you'd be spark ing out in the yard, night after night, when you should be in the house studying your algebra. That's the way know this girl isn't you. You understand, I'm sure of it that unless I see the couple there again. I've decided not to mention it to your grandfather at all. Of course, if I should ever see them there again, even once mOre-and I feel it is my duty to watch out-then I'll be bound to inform your grand father, and no ifs nor and's about |it'
 Mary Frances cheeks dimmed the roses color. She said, "I'll have to hurry now, I guess. l always go by for my friend, Ermintrude Hill. Goodby, Mir Carmichael" and walked away so fast that she heard Mir Carmichael say, "A word to the wise," only once. though he said it three times before he said, Well, that's off my mind," and smiled his satisfaction and went to take his car from the garage.
 It was pity. great pity. But for MT Carmichael and his duty, there is slim chance, at least. that Mary Frances might not have flunked flat in her algebro exani- nation; and there is a stout cer- tainty that she never would have written to Earl DeArmount:
 Dear Prince Wonderful:
 < All has been discovered. We dare never meet again. Whatever you do, don't come to see me tonight. l mean 1t really. This. dearest, is our first enforced absence from each other. Beloved, let us put our hearts together and get comfort. It is not a true separation to to know that another part of the world contains the rest of me. Oh, you are! So, thinking of you, I can never be tired. I rest yours. l will give this letter to my friend to take to you, and if you will an- swer in the inclosed, addressed, stamped envelope I should get it before I go to school in the morn ing. Answer at once, and be sure to use the envelope, because it is Ermintrude's writing, and if the family should see it before I do they would think I was getting a not from Ermintrude. Dearest, I love you too much, too much. l cannot write 1t.
 I am your most unhappy and loving. Frankie.
 It is difficult to know what to do with quotation marks in Mary Frances letter. It is so mixed up. Perhaps the sections that she cribbed can be detected without pointing at them. The child had a certain genius for getting hold of books she would have done just as well or better without. Her plan for acquiring them had, as has much of genius, it's rotos, at least. in simplicity. She hunted hard, and high and low. for books that

Their inventory grew out of q series of questions such as these:
 Do outside doors fit tightly to ex- clude cold air and dust? Do they need weatherstripping? Do the locks work easily? Could we adi a laundry chute that complied with fire hazard laws? Would a hand rail down the cellar steps add to the safety? Is the basement ade- quately lighted?
 Is there a sanitary arrangement for disposal of garbage? Is there a suitable space set aside for a mans workshop?
 Are water and heat pipes insu- lated to shut out cold and keep in heat?
 Are there a sufficient number of convenient outlets? Can all lights be reached easily or should pull cords be heightened or placed in more accessible places? Does the house need more switches and more modern ones?
 Is the telephone located cen trally and are sufficient provisions made for privacy while using it?

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER xXxV


 MT G. o. Carmichael, president and sole owner of the Home-M Maid Bakery Products company Car chaeps Cookies for Riddles. Car michaers Cakes for Choice Oc- casions), stood on his front porch and frowned across his well-mown lawn over to his bugless pink roses and sighed worriedly.
 Gray haired, healthy, clean shaven, excellently tailored, in ap- pearance he resembled a banker or thought that he did. His ambi- tion for 25 years since he bought his first small shop and stopped doing baking for the other fellow, had been to look like a banker. That, then, must have been so much to the good on this early Monday morning. Also, conscience clear, he had slept well, had arisen, breakfasted satisfactorily, kissed his wife whom he loved devotedly and had gone now-as far as the porch, at least--to q business that was thriving robustly at a time when many businesses were fail ing.
 Neither surfaces nor depths seerled to provide reason for Mir Carmichaers depression. Peace should have been dropping slow But, had someone come inquiring as to the absence of the nine bean rows and the hive for the honey bee, he would have been told that MT Carmichal had disagreeable duty to perform. Duties were Mir Carmiechael's fetishes. Kindly, well meaning, earnestly mistaken about many things, MT Carmichael did not need to see his duty to do it. He scented duties from afar and made them his own with q whtff or two; he heard them whis- on the wing. No duty, no matter to whom it belonged, was safe any where near Mir Carmichael.
 Mary Frances Fenwick was com ing down the walk on her way to school. MT Carmichael, affecting q s%roling gait, met her by the pink roses in her parking.
 Good morning, my dear" he said.
 Good morning, MT Carmichael"
 "Nice morning, isn't it? On your way to school, l suppose?"
 Yes, MT Carmichael"
 School soon out now. isn't it ?"
 "Yes, sir. We're having our finals this week. It is algebra today. l am dreadfully worried about it.. It's so hard"
 Speaking of worries," said Mir Carmichael, I've been quite a bit worried myself, here of late. Very queer thing. For some time now I've noticed a young couple over in your yard-right near the cor ner. They meet there frequently I wonder if your grandfather would like to have that sort of thing go- ing on in his yard?"
 What sort of thing?' said Mary Frances.
 Love making, have no doubt. Innocent love making modestly insisted MT Carmichael, but night after night. No. I am cer- tain that your grandfather would not like it."
 'I don't much think he'd care" Mary-Frances comforted.
