Here at Silver Bay. with every
thing quiet and peaceful, it was
easy enough TO say that she had
put Rolf out of her mind Perhaps
not completely, but each day he
meant less. Yes, she was forgetting
about him
That wasn't true either. Other
wise why was it necessary so many
times during the day to say to her
self, I've forgotten about him"
A SIDE from Mrs Curtis friends
"A the only acquantanccs Janet
made at Silver Bay were some
children she met each morning on
the beach Their mothers knew
Mrs. Curtis.
They seemed grateful when Janet
kept the youngsters about her told
them stories and kept them busy
at games Janet really enjoyed the
children and She was a favorite with
them.
She sent a card to Jeff Grant
and received a letter a few days
later Due to a change in Office
policies, jeff wrote, there was no
vacation in sight for him He had
spent another weekend at the
home of his friend Nelson. Ian
caster had cooled and then be-
come hot again.
The letter was rather disappoint-
ing 1t was brief. A few statements
of facts. closing with the hope that
Janet was enjoying herself There
was no chatty gossip
She re-read the letter, looked at
it few moments, and then
laughed. How exactly like jeff
that letter Wasl OF course there
was no gossip nothing about what
jeff had been thinking or feeling
Of course not! But the letter had
been written the day ne had re-
Ceived her card
~ That was characteristic, too. jeff
was always punctual. He wouldn't
write about himself because ne so
seldom talked about himself.
bert and Pauline Hayden and one
or two others. Mollie's answer
was an announcement of her mar
riage the week before The we'd
ding had taken place at Molie S
sisters home in little town out
side Lancaster.
Standing alone on the hotel YER
anda one night, looking out at the
lake, Janet thought that of all those
she knew Mollie was the one surest
of happiness She and her AL would
set alorg. They would have their
quawC's, as Molie said. but after
word they would make up and be
hopp o. than before. Yes, they
would be happy
The breeze ruStled JanetS skirt
and Blew her hair back against her
face. Silver Bay in the moonlight
was really silver Far out on the
wa,er lights twinklcd and music
came from within the hotel. For an
instant, the beauty of the night
swept everything else from janet
thoughts
Then she heard Mrs. Curtis voice
and turned quickly She said, Your
coat?' Yes, Mrs. Curtis, I'll get it
right away"
THEY had come TO Silver Bay
Il for two weeks AT the end OF
that time Mrs. Curtis decided 10
spend another week there and at

clded to stay fourth. The first
of September was Just two days
away when they finally arrived in
Lancaster
Frederick met them with the car.
The servants had all been back for
several days, and the only sign of
change about the house was that
instead of roses and delphinium in
the vases, as when they left, there
were aSterS now and gladioi.
The big house was fresh and cool
and inviting. Far more attractive,
Janet thought. than the hotel She
wondered why Mrs. Curtis had ever
wanted to leave it.
Betty dropped in the first after
noon they were back She wore a
new and becoming dress and hat,
and she talked of parties she had
gone to and parties to which she
was invited.
She spoke of Rolf casually and only
after Mrs. Curtis had asked about
him. He was working as usual. she
said. Betty chartered on for an
hour and then hurried off for an
engagement.
She came in several times that
week, but always alone Janet was
unusually busy, for letters had ac-
cumulated and there were bills to
be paid
There were accounts to be gone
over and checks sent to the chart

ested Mrs. Curtis was coming to
rely on Janet more and more and

household it was to Janet that

She had errands down town. too.
She was walking along Center street
one afternoon when suddenly she
was aware Of a figure beside her.
Janet looked up. Rolf Carlyle swung
into step with her.
He said, Hello Janet Guess I'm

He put hand on her arm. You're
coming along with me"
