80 is, Bruce, and besides, I'm not
going on any yachting trip. BY
4 the time I'm able to go back to
New York and buy some clothes
the little season will be starting. I
don't want to go away until after the
holidays. You know am going to Lake
Placid for Christmas. -
I'D forgotten" he answered, his eyes
still holding June's. I'VE can go after
New Year then. How would you like
that?"
The question was directed to June.
A yachting trip with this handsome
young man would be altogether lovely,
she thought. But she said, "That Is
such long ways off II you will
ask me again, later :"
Reluctantly he turned away, and
fate did not bring either Of them the
faintest premonition of the strange
events that lay ahead. "I'll go and
check In at hotel, and see about hav-
ing the car fixed" he said.
1.-THE hotel isn't much good" June
told him. 1--WE have guest room across
the hall. If you'll 60 downstairs and
find Chloe she'll make you comfort
able"
II appreciate that, but couldn't
think of troubling you :. You've been
too kind as it Is ="
DR.. Varick came in then and June
explained: dad, I've asked Mr.. Bishop
to be our guest while he is here"
by all means. Come, I'll show you
to your room. It's more comfortable
than the hotel and the food is a little
better"
The room was spacious, like the one
they had Just Quilted, but instead of
the twin beds which June had in her
room because Jane Palmer stayed over
night SO frequently, there was huge
bed that looked invitingly soft.
I'm tired enough to land on that this
minute" Bruce said. "I haven't slept
In two nights
That's the very thing, then. Go to
bed and sleep two or three hours" DR..
Varick told him. zone Of the great
thinking you can get along without
sleep"
well, I don't feel that way now, and
I believe will take snooze. Thank
you ever 50 much"
DR.. Varick closed the door and went
downstairs. The boy looked worried
harassed. But he had troubles enough
of his own without disturbing himself
over these rich youngsters, who had
succeeded in being as unhappy as
paupers. He was glad he had brought
June up differently. Still, he found
himself thinking Of the boy upstairs
several times during the day.
June was also thinking of him. Kay
had not told the truth about him. If
any one was mean, it was she. June
fell asleep with the memory Of that
look of his clutched tight In her mind,
as If iG were treasure she must anchor
fast.
When June awoke a girl sat beside
her bed, golden brown girl with ador-
ing brown eyes fastened on her.
"Jane," she said, sleepily, and yawned
herself into happy welcome. I'm so
glad you came. Why didn't you
waken me?"
''I did my best. I sure am sorry you
got hurt, June-arld SO is everybody
else-all the crowd sent you love and
kisses. They want to come and see you,
but the doctor won't permit 1t now"
Jane, I can't go to Columbia-did
you know that? And Dad won't say
when can"
That's tough. But you can go for
the mid-year term. And you know we
always have a pretty swell time until
after the holidays, anyway"
is that your girl friend, June?" came
voice from the other bed.
Eyes, didn't know you were awake.
It's Jane Palmer-Miss Bishop, Jane"
Come here, Jane-1've a favor to
ask of you, so please make up your
mind to do it before tell you-n you
will, I'll send you the newest vanity
out when get back to New York"
"You don't have to bribe me-" Jane
reassured her. what is it?"
