 CHAPTER xLvr
 After that Eve remained awake and watched tho day break in tho mountains. She had noticed im- mediately the invlgorating air which filtered through the window opening.
 There was little to indicate that they were approaching the village of Pine Forest, Seemingly endless woods were broken only by clear lakes. Here and there Eve caught a glimpse of summer cottages with windows and doors boarded up. Almost without warning tho con duotor was calling out "Pine For est" and Eve found herself being helped down into a little frame station. There were fivo or six men lettering about, Eve waited for the ancient stationmaster to finish exchanging gossip and dis- pose of the Sunday papers. Then she asked for taxi to take her to Mrs Williams boarding house,
 Sitting In the quivering old tour ing car, Evo grew more nervous with every moment that brought her nearer her destination. How would Dick greet herY
 Dick was not at the boarding house when Eve arrived there. A servant answered tho bell and invited Eve into tho living room to walt for him. A moment later Mrs Williams entered. Her blue eyes looked kindly and she settled horself for chat but Eve neither disclosed tho purpose of her Visit or asked questions about Dick.
 Presently Mrs Williams OK. cused herself and returned to tho kitchen. Eve grew nervous ana restless. Then she saw Dicks vel. low roadster coming around the bond of the road. She sat stock still, Dick stopped the car before the door and his companion - an attsaetlve girl--stepped out, on. tensd the house and passed down tho center hall.
 Dick drove on but soon reap. peared, A moment later he stood in the great archod doorway of the hall, staring at Eve.
 sWhy, Eve!" he cried. Plainly he was embarrassed and Eve i'm. mediateiy thought Of tho girl who had been with him. =.
 We'll, this Is a surprise" Dick was saying.
 Eve's composure loft her. She began to cry and this only in. creased Dicks embarrassment
 Not here," he said. "come up to my room." He led the way to & large upstairs bedroom. It was a comfortable looking room-not at all as Eve had pictured life near a construction camp,
 "You don't seom very pleased to soc me-" sho said In trembling voice. ~
 ''I'm surprised, that's all"
 "Well. you may as well know saw you with your girl friend she said aeeusingly. I'm sorry now that came"
 Dick laughed. "You needn't be-" ho said easily. "t was out at the job this morning and picked her up on the way back. shes one of the teachers who live here and she was walking home rom church. It wouldn't have been it?'
 "It looked odd to me-"
 "seo here!" Dick said hotly. "Tli not be put on the defensive Just for giving person a lift"
 "Oh, Dick we're quarrelling again and l didn't want to-"
 He turned away from her and looked out the window.
 "Dick," Eve began timidly. He half.turned. "Dick, was so lone- iyv" she added wistfully. He turned and she was in his arms.
 Eve found the little town of Pine Forest enchanting. It had been settled by contemplating sons and daughters of New England pioneers, hence It's architecture was strictly colonial. All of the houses were painted white. Some had green blinds. Grouped at the Four Corners were the important buildings the town hall, one story high and Quaintly formed of cobblestones, h little cobble- stone church, another church of wide white clapboards with Q tall steeple, and a truly modern school house of red brick trimmed in white.
 In the afternoon Dick took Eve for a drive into the woodland. The unpaved road wound in and out among the trees. downhill and up, until they came to clearing high above a lake. Be- low them the water, blue-black
