The three girls worked so quick ly that the moving men had the furniture deposited in the truck in a short time. Corbett, changing his mood began to help them.
 "I'd like to kick him down the stairs" Sue whispered to Corrinne.
 Don't. You can't kick hard enough and besides he's useful" her sister answered.
 Sarah Lou had said little. But her young eyes were scornful and her silence was so noticeable that the man glanced at her curiously.
 'So you know the tale, too?" Corbett asked when the last piece of furniture was deposited in the dray. Was 1t in the morning pa- per, Mrs Thornton? I missed it."
 Sue regretting that the man knew that she confided in her own fam fly, didn't answer. She was begin ming to be afraid of him again. Any man would resent having 0 tale of a misdemeanor broadcast of course. Maybe he thought she attached more importance to 1t than she did. Maybe he would think that she was an unsophisti- cated person who was taken back by an experience that anybody might have anywhere. You don't understand at all," she told the tall man who stood blocking the entrance to the living room. I'm not. provoked at all But we cant live here and accept charity. That's all. You deceived us about the rent"
 Put 1t that way if it pleases you" he answered. Now 1 must go."
 I'm afraid hell be back" Sue murmured.
 T know hell be back. Corrinne added. Hes going to get revenge. Better watch out"
 But the excitement of settling the new apartment, the sudden pleasure at finding the sweep of the dark river winding past more than half of the windows in the apartment made Sue forget the man who had frightened her.
 "It's lonely out here. Otherwise it's grand" Jack said. "Sue keep the door locked all tho time, won't you? And don't go strolling down by the river even to chat to the fishermen or buy fish. Just stay in."
 But I'll need air." she objected yet she was glad that he was fear full for her.
 "open the windows. They'll give you all the air you need"
 What about exercise?"
 He laughed. You win. But be careful"
 Sue wrinkled her nose as she smiled. Afraid Kenneth Corbett xyttt liItHap n n fa1 in the river? l think I'm safe- fairly safe. Suspicion would rest on tho villain and he hates suspicion" !"
 So the days drifted by. Quiet, uneventful-nice days on which nothing much happened that was exciting but nothing happened that was disturbing.
 Autumn came and the nights grew cooler. Sue and Jack sat in front of the wide fireplace, watch cd the driftwood which they bought from the neighborhood children for trine burn with col ored pictures, read old books tnd some new ones, and were happy.
 Sues fathers patent was q suc- cess. He had his first checks. Tho old brown house on the shabby, comfortable street had been made more livable.
 We can't move" Mrs Merry man explained. "Our roots arc here. We've been here too long. And we know our neighbors so well they are part of us. Maybe we are too old-to be rich"
 But she had 0 gay joy in buying new gowns and pretty hats; in having the thick brown coils of hair, scarcely brushed with silver. marceled and placed attractively around her head.
 Sue smiled quietly at the way that her mother tried to make her accept small favors. For some req son she couldn't. Ted was becom- ing prosperous. Harry had always been wealthy. Now her father was. An unexpected opening came to Jack all of a sudden. NEXT: A business offer. .N
