CHAPTER XXI
June's roses had faded AM
Mrs. Brooks garden took on ;
slightly parched and neglected
look. The Brooks boys were
away for the summer working il
the kitchen of a lakeside CAM
Hence the entire care of thu
place fell on Mrs. Brooks, wh'
seemed in need of a rest.
Dick noticed this and made i
a habit to sprinkle the law
once a day, either at sunrise o
after sunset. He never waken
ed Eve until he had prepare,
breakfast and he insisted upol
relieving her of all details o
the housekeeping.
"Why not?" he asked. "lt'
bad enough to have you coope
up all day in an office. Yo
need all the time out-of-doors W
can possibly manage. Besides
Ii haven't anything else to do"
He took her to the office l
the yellow roadster and EV
found him waiting at the sid
entrance of Bixby's at the clos
of each day. Dick never seen
ed to mind the mileage and u;
ually took her home the longes
way, driving along the lake ur
til they were forced to cut acros
town. That cool drive was
blessing during the July hea
which settled in sultry monoton
over the city.
Eve looked forward eagerly t
her vacation but found she mus
wait until August for it. Desplt
all Dick did to make things cas-
er for her she could not suppreS
feeling of vexation when h
put his golf clubs in the car an
drove on to the links after leaN
ing her at Bixby's. Earle Barne
usually left the store two atte'
moons each week for a foursom
of golf with some advertiser
men but Eve, who had enloye
PLAYING in other years, foun
herself unable to leave the O.
flee during the day and too tire
for such exertion after bushes
hours More and more respons
bilitv fell to her lot as Barn'
found her trustworthy and thu
relieved himself of additions
burdens. -.

be an advertising manager-an
don't you forget it" ~
Mona came in then and IN
