/ With tears rolling down her
cheeks she CROPPED for his hand.
No! Please don't, Oliver. 1
can't imagine why I should act
like this. It's so perfectly silly Of
me"
Oliver lifted her from the floor
and seated himself in a big chair
with her on his lap.
Listen, kid, you may as well adj
nit it. you're crying because you
want TO see him again"
NO" she sobbed.
"Oh. yes, you are. Let's be hon
est about it and face the facts.
You're still in love with him or
think you are but once he's mar
ried to this other girl you're going
to get over it. You're not the type
to go through life crying for some
body you can't have"
Drying her wet eyes, Treasure
said gratefully, That's true. I will
get over it, won't ~"
"Of course you will. Now then
smile and tell me you feel better"
L do" she said although the
smile was bit wobbly.
Promise me that you aren't 60
ing to be upset about it tonight.
Or wish you had gone with him."
NO" she said. II won't. 1t
wouldn't help to see each other one
more time"
You're darned right it wouldn't"
lust the sarIe, human nature
y being what it is, she couldn't
keep from wishing that Anthony
might come to the Band Box and
insist upon seeing her. If it had
been as important as he seemed to
think he would have paid no at
IGNITION TO her refusal but would
have found some way of seeing her
anyway.
Which Anthony did but he waited
until the afternoon of the next day
before he went to the apartment
where Treasure lived and knocked
on the door. Ellen answered and
when she saw who it was she al
most closed the door in his face
saying, Treasure isn't here"
But Anthony was determined.
May I speak to you then. Mrs.
McGuire?"
Afraid to refuse, because she
wasn't at all sure that he might
not be able to put her in Jail, Ellen
said grudgingly, Il suppose you
can"
Anthony followed her into the
living room looking about with in
terest. 1t was not luxurious room
but a delightfully."- pleasant one, with
many bowls of flowers and a small
Christmas tree. Ellen managed to
before she seated herself on the
close the door into the bedroom
edge of a chair.
Il suppose you've come to ask me
about that check" she said anxious
ly.
Anthony smiled.
Not at all! I wanted Treasure
to have that money. If it was the
only way she would accept it I'm
glad you Endorsed it for her"
Ellen breathed easier.
1T was coming to her." Tony
agreed. I'm terribly sorry for
everything that's happened, Mrs.
MCGUIRE. I realize now that it was
very unfair for me to go away as 1
did. But I was so busy thinking
about my own broken heart I for
got to consider hers"
His black eyes so like his sons
fell upon woOlly dog lying where
little Tony's hands had dropped it.
Anthony had never paid much at
tention to Treasures Scanty infor-
nation about her family. He had
been too completely absorbed in the
girl herself to be interested in her
rather sordid background, but now
he remembered vaguely that Treas
ure had said something about her
mother being i'll and having had a
baby.
DO you have your baby with
you?" Tony inquired idly, SPAR
ring for time and determined now
that he was here to stay until Trea-
sure returned.
Ellen fairly snorted, MY baby"
Too late she recalled, MY baby"
that she had promised no matter
what happened never to tell Tony
about his child. Her eyes almost
popped out of her head as she re-
allied what she had done. She
clapped her hands to her mouth as
if she would like to clamp lock on
it but the damage had been done.
Whose then?" Anthony de-
manded seeing her confusion and
at the same moment with a dra-
matte instinct few babies possess
little Tony began to cry. Lusty
howls which brought his grand
mother to her feet crying, The
poor child'S hungry. It's past his
feeding time"
ELLEN glared at Anthony who
II was obviously to blame for this
too and rushed to the bedroom as
Anthony sprang to his feet crying,
oh, Mrs. Mcclure! You don't
mean to tell me 1t isn't :"
I'm not telling you anything"
