She murmured wanly. All right"
and sat down trembling from the
shock.
THEY knew. His mother and
Il Rudolf knew.
But he was calling from the fac.
tory. They hadn't then refused to
lei him go to work. Perhaps since
it had already happened they had
decided to accept it.
wouldn't it be wonderful, Treas
ure thought, optimistic as always,
if they could live together openly
If she could put the dear little ring
back on her hand where it belonged
and be his wife in public as she mad
oeen at Tahoe.
Her loving heart began to warm
toward AnthOny's mother. She
must be a very wonderful person,
generous and kind, and she would
.Orglye them when she realized that
II was only because they loved each
ether too much to wait for his 21st
birthday.
After all what were a few months
more? 1t wouldn't have made bit
of difference because they would
nave been married then anyway.
Tony hadn't sounded as If they
were going to be forgiven but he
took everything so seriously, Treas
ure thought with a tender little
smile. She hurried through ner
work so that she might have every
thing in order when her mother
came. Ellen was enchanted over
her daughters new apartment.
Everything was clean and fresh
ly painted she said just the way
Lrioe should have it. She also
agreed with her daughter that it
might be all for the best that the
Molinaris had learned the truth.
There's nothing to this sku4king
around" Ellen said honestly. PEG
pie who get married shouldn't have
to hide it," Besides, she added,
Treasures father wouldn't be half
so mad if he thought she was mar
ried.
What did he say, mama?"
Not as much as l thought he
would Ellen admitted
We'll don't tell him I'm mar
ried until we know what Tony's
oyher is going TO CO." Treasure
legged. He might spoil every
thing
Her mother stayed long enough I
fOr a cup Of tea and then departed, .
vastly cheered thinking, Every
,n.ng is going to turn out all right
for them"
Treasure, making a chocolate /
pudding in case Tony might be able
20 come 10 dinner, lO0A a childish /
delight in imagining what she
would say to Tonys mother. She
decided she would simply tell Mrs. |
4Aolinari that she was sorry they /
mad deceived her and they would /
never do so again.
1t was a little after 5-juSt the |
lime that Tony had come the night |
.cIOre-when the buzzer sounded |
md she opened the door for him. |
,aiting win flushed cheeks and /
e..Cited eyes. But it was not Tony
whose dark head appeared from +.
he top of the stairs.
Treasure would have closed the
door again but she was not quick
enough. With the agility of a pan
her, Carlos had leaped inside cry
lag, oh, no, you don't. You thought |
it was your Italian friend, didn't |
you? You're not so glad to see me? |
vel, that's all right, too. I didn't |
expect you to be, but just the same
you can listen TO what 1 have to
say
treasure was annoyed.
You have no right to talk like
that to me"
oh, haven't II" he snarled. After I
all the line you pulled with me.
Didn't even like to Kiss me you were
50 pure. And 1 was in love with
you. Fool that 1 was I wanted |
20 marry you"
She began to feel sorry for him.
You don't understand, Carlos! /
Things are not the way they seem. /
Truly they aren't. If you will just
go away and not say anything to /
any one for few days / can ex-
pain it all to you"
Staring at her from his beautiful .
somber eyes he cried, You aren't |
fooling me- What would your
father say?"
Alarmed and distressed she begged, |
oh, please, Carlos, don't tell my
father. :"
If I did he probably would kill
YOU" he muttered. L could kill you
myself"
Treasure was so frightened she
had not heard Tonys steps upon the
stairs. He had entered without
ringing in the wake of one of the
women returning from her after
neon stroll Astounded to hear
voices coming from Treasures apart
ment, he stopped for a moment and
as he did 50. the door opened and
a tall. handsome by flung himself
out and ran down the stairs.
THERE was reason for Carlos
l. haste Dramatic as always ne
had burst into tears and he was so
ashamed of it-so afraid after al
his bold words that he might be
caught weeping over a girl who had
Tilted him-that he had forgotten
everything but the necessity for es-
cape. He scarcely saw the Italian
but Tony had plenty of opportunity
to observe him and he did not fail
to notice the tears nor his nalf
crazed expression
The door remained open and
Treasure stood inside as if stunned.
Oh. Anthony" she cried running
nto his arms.
Who was that?"
