 CHAPTER VIII
 There were several columns of advertisements of furnished apartments for rent in the Sun day newspaper. Eve and Dick bed dAaf6AH fn fuNvich nA place because Dick was only temporarily located it. Lake City. The main offices of the comp6ny he worked for were in Chicago but Dick had been in Lake City for more than a year superintend- ing the construction of theater combined with a huge office build ing. The theater was to open in March but 1t would be June be- fore everything would be com pleted. Dick hoped his next job also would be in Lake City. Eve refused even to consider the pos sibility that he might be sent else where.

The vacant apartment was at the front on the main floor. It had cream oolored walls and mahogany doors. Four win dows reaching to the floor made a square "bay," ,and rLffled cur tains were tied back to permit view of the snow-covered lawn.

 Why these rooms are lovely! We must take them," gasped Eve. much to her own surprise. And I think we can nave in to-day"
 They returned to the Mira mar, checked out and slowed their belongings into the rumble seat of the roadster. Then Dick stopped at a delicatessen for chicken sandwiches. coffee, bottle of cream and a pint of
