try your formula" He turned TO 90.
Kay called after him. why dom
you phone your future brother-in .lav

He did not reply. But his mood wa.
changed. They could hear him whistlin,
downstairs.
You antagonize him." June observed

when you don't feel nice inside o.
you, how can you act that way?"
June didn't know. WAS Ramon a,
the ranch in wyoming. or near there?'
she asked.

two months-that was why we just
couldn't wait. We write to each othel
all the time. Of course"
"Is he still at the hotel?"
"Yes. but he has to 60 back tonight
Isn't there some way I can get to set
him?"
why don't you ask Bruce, as 9
special favor. to let you see Ramon
He might surprise you and Yield"
Because I've been battling this thing
two years. and I know the only way te
win my point with Bruce is to out
wit him."
June Was glad to turn her attention
from the enigma Of Kay and her af-
fairs to the wholesome presence OF
after lunch. Raw-boned, tow-headed
Hickory, who had been her slave fol-
two years, and wanted to continue for
the rest Of his life. Chloe marshaled
him upstairs, carrying a vase for the
flowers he had brought, and lettering
as long as she dared to gaze at Kay
who, since last night, had become a
heroine about whom she would weave
stories for years.
Hickory, they are rnagnificentm June
declared. as Chloe held up the vase OF
flowers for her inspection. You al
ways remember my alteration for yel-
low roses, don't you?"
And mine for you," he murmured
Aren't you going to give me q well
comeback kiss?" and he bent over her
When did you get back here?"
Yesterday. I was scared when !
heard about your accident. Did your
Dad tell you how I dashed into his
Office and frightened a patient?"
mo, I haven't seen much OF Dad
Go and say hello to Miss Bishop over
there Kay. this is Hickory Ferguson,
my best beau so hands off,"
Kay was very sweet to Hickory. Il
hear you have wonderful school here, y
she said.
I'VE sure have. Too bad you aren't
able to be up-Id take you around"
Il will be one Of these days. But
In the meantime my brother Is here,
bored. He'll be back any minute, and
Id think you were most awfully kind
If you'd be friendly with him-I'm sure
he'd love to see the school"
DO you think SO? I'll be delighted
to take him in charge. The school
isn't open yet came back little
early. Maybe he'd like to use the
gym? I think I can fix 1t up"
That's just the thing. Why don't
both of you go and have a workout
this afternoon-I know Bruce needs ex-
ercise"
Hickory went back to June's side and
talked with her until Bruce came in.
He was most amenable to Hickory
suggestion. inspired by Kay, and they
went off together shortly.
Thank goodness for that" Kay ex-
claimed, when they went out of ear
shot?"
Whats the idea?" June queried
I'm going to send Tor Ramon, II 1t
can be done. and we will have a grand
talk while Bruce Is away-he'll be oc-
cupied for a couple Of hours. don't you
think? Now. how can 1 get word to
my beloved?"
The quickest way is to have Mrs
Winters telephone the hotel, If he is
there"
Hes there waiting for a message
from me before he leaves"
All right I'll tell Mrs Winters as
soon as she comes up. You'd better
write the name down, for she'll never
remember it."
June. you are good egg. L like you
And if you can get Bruce to fall for you
I won't say word. Besides, it would
be favor to me. for If he were in love
himself he might have little SYM
pathy for me-"
Thank you just the same" June an
swered coolly. Il think told you be-
fore that I'm not falling for any one.
