CHAPTER XIV
A Miracle Happens.


Another week had come and gone
and Geoir had neither telephoned nor
called In person. Moreover Flossle
and Cary had not come to see her
all week. Moreover-and this second
moreover hurt her absurdly-Flossle
had called up late Saturday evening
and asked II Tenny might come to
them for Sunday dinner.
Tenny--and not Cynthia with her !
Cary arrived soon after breakfast
to get the child. He looked embar-
rassed at this slight to his sister, but
1t was plain he was under bonds to
Flossie to extend her no invitation.
Not that she would go now under any
circumstances. Cynthia told herself
proudly. II everybody wanted to dis
approve OF her, ignore her, just be-
cause she didn't dash around to Geofrs
hotel and throw herself into his arms
and say. please, kind gentleman,
won't you marry the little clerk from
the gift shop7" why, they could. II
was perfectly all right, with her.
However, her heart began to pound
ridIculously when she heard Geofr's
voice at the door OF the apartment
soon after Tenny's departure How
tall and clean and kind and 1ne he
looked, standing there In the frame Of
the door And oh, doggone 1t how
clad she was to see hIml

very absorbed in her shop, vague about
future engagements with him, just
barely aware that there had been a
Geofr Ensloe who once had had some
trivial connection with her. But the
bait he held out was too alluring !!
She was homesick for day In the
mountains. There was nothing to keep
her. Besides. one could be just as
casual and dignifed riding beside
Geoff on the winding mountain road as
one could In ones own sitting room.
Or so she thought. But with the

you drive and everythingl'
The spell the mountains had wrought
upon Cynthia that memorable day last
summer was again at work. When
Cynthia was pleasant, Geoff thought,
she was the pleasantest person he'd
ever met.
She was pleasant all through din
ner; pleasant while he packed the bas-
ket with the remainder OF the food,
declining her offered assistance; very
pleasant when he brought the seats
from the car and made sort Of couch
on the fiat rock and insisted on her
stretching out upon 1t for rest.

her, or not7 It would be all the same

upon that barrier OF rock.
But 1t presently appeared that 1t
mattered lot to Geoff. When she sat
up with long sigh and raised hand
to put back the straying curls OF her
hair, he began to speak; at first In so
low and gentle voice that she did
not comprehend the outrageousness OF
what he was saying.
"I'm leaving for New York Wednes-
day, Cynthia. The chief told me a
couple OF weeks ago that I'd accom-
plIshed all that is necessary here. I'm
needed back East I've got all the
arrangements made. Wen be married
