NOW GO on WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
THE girl driving the old car GER
Il tainly looked like Carol Kendall.
But Ann told herself that was ri
diculous. Carol was in Miami
Nevertheless, the girl did look like
Carol. And the man was like-like
the nice-looking chauffeur who had
been discharged by Mrs. Kendall
Suddenly Ann knew she had not
been mistaken. The girl was Carol
and the man was the former chauf-
feur. Ann felt a little sick at the
revelation. She drove carefully, not
too close to the shabby car, but
keeping it in sight. Presently the
car stopped in front of an apart
ment building and the two occu-
pants got out and went inside. Ann
parked her car and followed. There
was no elevator, and when she
reached the stairway, the couple was
not in sight. Ann heard steps above,
heard a door open. As she reached
the top of the flight a light flashed
on in one Of the rooms and a door
closed.
Ann knocked at the door. The
next moment she and Carol stood
staring in each others eyes.
Ami" Carols eyes flashed an
grily.
May I come IMP"
Certainly. now that you have
found us. Clever work, Ann. Did
you hope for mothers favor as a
reward?"
Don't be silly, Carroll Ann said
slowly. Il followed you because I
was worried
She looked about, a little be-
wildered, taking in the exceedingly
modest, but attractive quarters.
Carols taste and very little money
had worked wonders.
OH" Carol smiled a little you
were worried because you thought
was living in a love nest Well, 1
am, but it's a little different from
the usual kind. Meet my husband
Lawrence AmeS."
Ann gasped and held out her
hand. Not Lawrence AmeS, the
football Star-?"
Yes indeed. And am I proud!"
Carol said.
She introduces me as though
she were unveiling a statute" the
blond young man said. L can't
make her see it's no great honor to
be married to somebody who has
come a cropper."
A Nm found herself liking the
N young man immensely. How
many times had she seen his name
in headlines on the sports pages
There had been one particularly
big. black banner line when he was
expelled from college and his
chances for greater football honors
had gone glimmcring.
You shouldn't feel that way,
Ann said. "A college scrape
shouldn't be allowed to ruin ones
life"
That's what 1 tell him." Carol
said. She turned to her husband.
Larry, will you run down to the
grocery and do a little replenish-
ing of the pantry? otherwise we
don't eat. Meanwhile I'll spill the
whole story in my sister's-in-laW
ear"
She did, glowing. Carols happi-
ness was revealed in her voice and
eyes.
L adore being poor" she said.
I have never had any happiness IN
nv life before. I wish it could be
like this always, but it won't, OF
course. Ann. Larry belongs to an
aristocratic Kentucky family. They
haven't forgiven him and he's too
proud to ask favors.'
But. Carol, you shouldn't con-
ceal your marriage from your
mother
You mustn't tell her." Carol said.
Not until Larry finds a job OF
some kind. It frightens me when /
think of what she might do-break

couldn't risk losing Larry. Ill be Il
soon. And then we hope Larry Will
have a lob in few days."

ton and came back on another. l

I've sent to mail to mother.
Il don't mind being poor" Carol
continued. L adore it. I've learned
TO cook and sweep and dust and
make beds. And every night we put
our heads together and figure how
to bolster our diminishing funds.
And every night Larry comes home
from trying to get jobs and fuss
over him and keep him from get
ting discouraged"
