This girl"-Doug asked then, to
make sure Of her identity-"what does

"Well," the old fellow studied
thoughtfully, shes got her q funny

they are. And she's tall and kind O.

That was all Doug needed to know
He paid the man and drove swiftly
away, his head a whirl Of emotions.
So that was where Charity had been
spending her Summer. And he had
thought she'd been chasing around
having a good time throwing money
away. Simmons was in on Charity's
charitable activities, too-and he'd
never heard a thing about 1t.
Why hadn't Charity told him how
she was spending her time-and her
money? Then he remembered what he
had said to her that day in May when
she had married him. The hateful way
he had told her to go her own way and
chase around with every man on Long
Island if she wanted to. And he'd
told her he'd 60 his own way. That
what he did was none Of her business
and what she did none Of his.
She had taken him at his word-and
gone her own way. But II was o way
that no one would believe one so young
and inexperienced would take; How
had she happened to establish the East
Side farm? He must find out.
Suddenly Doug Tenble felt more
ashamed than he had ever been before
in his life. Always he had been rich,
and not once had he ever raised his
hand to share his good fortune with
others. Charity had been wealthy only
few weeks when she had begun to
devote her time and money to unem-
ployed men and their wives-their
starving helpless little children.
| Doug knew with a sudden binding
realization that the only woman be
had ever loved was his wife. He was
so astonished at the revelation that he
stopped his car and sat for q long time
reveling in his amazing discovery.

to lay his heart and life at the feet Of
the girl whom only few weeks before
he had scorned with the bitterest as
surances of his superiority. How his
father would smile if he knew. His
dad-bless him!
Doug remembered then, with sud-
den sinking sensation that there was
something he had to do before he could
/ go to Charity. He would have to break
with Yanner. That was not going TO
be so easy He had feeling Yanner
would not be so willing to be thrown
