She was laughing, but some inner
terror for an instant darkened her
eyes and chilled her smile.
It was sweet to be admired. 20
be the center of this agreeable
group. Why couldn't this be enough
for her? Why should her thoughts
90 barking back to one man, out OF
all the world, who had flouted her?
Frank drove on the homeward
drive and the three insisted that she
sit beside him in the front seat.
Hilda was heavily tactful about this;
Katharine didn't mind. They were
nice persons and they liked her and
showed it. She glowed in the at
mosphere Of admiration and easy
laughter. Frank didn't talk much
he wasn't given TO idle chatter-but
every now and then he gave her an
eloquent look.
He had to give most of his at
tention to the driving, however
There were traitorous dips in this
canon road. Sometimes a sheer
drop appeared on their left without
an instant's warning. But Frank
had a sure hand on the wheel
Katharine wasn't afraid. They took
the journey in leisurely fashion. 1t
wav the way, Hilda explained, they
liked to travel.
That night they camped on the
edge of the desert under the stars.
Frank had his guitar with him
he'd been in a college orchestra
and he played "Parlez moi d'amour'
with a good deal Of feeling. The
stars and the music and the camp
fire all made an unforgettable scene.
n IFE would be so simple, Kath-
II arine argued with herself, If
one could follow the line of least re-
sistance. She might, for example,
marry Frank Willard and bear him
fine children and love him quite I'M
critically and make a sort of picnic
of existence. But she had muddled
up her life before she met him. She
liked him a lot-he was an likable
as a big Newfoundland or a friendly
child. But love? Well, she had
known that once; it hadn't been ex-
actly pleasant 1t had been all dizzy
heights and awful depths. She would
try to steer clear of it in the future.
All of this she thought as Frank
strummed the plaintive music and
the smoke of Dirk's and Hilda S
cigarets curled toward the red glow
of the campfire. Evelyn Vincent was
asleep, propped rather uncomforta-
bly, against the seat cushions Of the
car. Presently they all united their
bedding rolls and said yawning good
nights. The women had the tent
Dirk and Frank arranged their beds
by the fire.
Katharine did not sleep for long
time. A mood of wakefulneSS was
upon her and, for the life of her
sleep would not come. She could see
one great, unwinking blue star
through the tent flap. Miss Vincent
snored, and Hilda stirred uneasily in
her sleep.
The music echoed in Katharine's
brain.
Speak to me of love ,
After a long time her eyes CLOSED
and she breathed easily and quietly
There were tears on her cheeks.

At the Hcinz-Dichi wedding IN St.

Summer SWeetheartS

No one was moving about when
she awoke. Dressing lastly, run
ming her ivory comb through her
flyaway curls. she glanced out to
see that Frank and his brother lay
in the relaxed and rather touching
abandon Of persons deeply asleep.
Restless, Katharine strolled about.
She needed exercise, she told her
self. Before the sun came up she
would have brief walk. Just as
far as that mesquite bush in the
middle distance
She walked along, absorbed in her
thoughts. Tomorrow she would be
back at Silencia; the pleasant, easy
life would begin again, with sun
drenched days filed with sketching
and music and bridge, and The
books in the library of the adobe
house. It was not a bad life, but
for young, restless, eager girl 1t
was not everything.
She glanced over her shoulder.
Perhaps she had better be turning
back. Some one would waken and
miss her, perhaps be alarmed. But
when she looked in the direction
from which she had come she could
see nothing of the car or the peaked
tent or the sleeping men. Her
heart beating a little faster, she
whirled, increasing her pace. Her
feet, in their russell boots, squeaked
in the sand, slipping with every
step. Oh, but she'd see them all in
a minute. She would hear Frank S
hearty laugh and smell the smoke
of the breakfast fire and the good
scent of boiling coffee e.
She walked as quickly as she
could, shielding her eyes from the
rising sun. That was east . and
certainly she had walked west when
she started. Or had she?
Silence and sand and cactus. A
gopher that hoped out from the
shadow of a bush and stared at
her curiously. Silence and a wheel
ing red ball in the heavens
Katharine was lost.

NEICHAEL went to the great iron
AVA bell that dangled between two
redwood posts and pulled the rope
vigorously. A dark-skinned girl in
a print frock appeared, stroking her
crisp apron and smiling at him with
a flash of dazzling white teeth.
"Mees Strykhurst? But she has
gone.
His heart sank like lead in his
breast. Gone? Gone where?
The dark-haired maid did not
seem to know. But she would call
Miss Daisy Ingram. Miss Daisy
would tell the gentleman.
Michael found himself in a cool,
w-ceiled room with white walls and
inches in which curious bright fig
ures appeared. Over the polished
floor the heels of Miss Daisy came
tapping.
"A friend of Miss Katharine'S?
Well, how very nice" She beamed
at the young man. They've gone
to the mountains. A matter of sew
eral hundred miles, l believe. You
will wait until they return?"
Michael said, rather grimly: eff
you can tell me the way Ill follow
them"

DISCOURAGING TO
II. s. LABOR

OF all the haphazard
handling OF relief funds by
Washingtn. perhaps none is
more thoughtless than the
recent PWA announcement
that all borrowers Of funds
for public works must pur-
case their products in for
eign countries if the price is
Is per cent less.
In other words. If Japan,
Czechosolvkia. or Russia,
with labor often earning
less for a days work than
American workers get in an
hour. can produce materials
cheaply enough. the Govern
ment will use taxpayers mon
ey TO purchase these foreign
imports.
There are but two results
that can come from such a
policy: either wage scales
in this country must be brok-
en- down in order to meet this
competition. or else public
works money taken from the
taxpayer will be sent abroad
to keep foreign factories op-
Grating while American
plants remain idle.
No one can believe that
the Administration is seek
ing to lower American
wages. The average wage
in the steel industry here,
for instance. is 225 per cent
above the average abroad,
and last year 3l6.66l tons
were imported with an esti-
mated loss of seven and a
half million man hours 70
American workers.
Neither can il be believed
that there is n deliberate
policy of taking money ap'
propriated by Congress 70
relieve distress in this coun-
try and sending it abroad
while industry seeks 10 in
crease employment.
The only answer IS that
there was some more mud
die headed but costly think
ing by a youthful bureaucrat
who didn't bother TO look be-
yond the end of his nose TO
see the effect on American
workers.
