ploye, who has srranged other va
cstion trips for her, tries to per-
spade her TO go to Lake Racine.

that Bill is a good-looking young
man. Because she is rushed for
time he asks if he can come to her
home that evening to finish plan
ming the trip. Ann agrees.
NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER II
William Ware. the travel agent,
called at the little apartment Ann
shared with another girl at that
evening. The girls had scarcely
put the dinner dishes away when
ne rang. They still had their
aprons on.
OH Ann breathed. 'Td al
most forgotten. Alice, you'll have
to run on alone to see the movie.
That young man from the travel
bureau is going to try to change
my mind about going to the sea-
shore. He thinks | ought to go to
Lake Racine"
Alice eyed her knowingly. Are
you sure this hasn't all the marks
of a budding romance
"Of course netp' Ann said. 1t
merely saves me time. He's only
the clerk there. No romance about
him. I'm going TO the seaShore TO
catch my knight in shining ar
NOR"
Alice let William Ware in. Ann
could tell by her glance that she
approved of him. But young Mr..
Ware was very businesS-ike with
his satchel. He went to the desk
table and started taking out fold
ers and leaflets, arranging them
i'm neat rows. His manner was
brisk.
He didn't see Alice go out OF
the room. SO Jealous he had be-
come in his efforts to sell Ann
vacation at Lake Racine. His talk
abounded with enthusiasm and
craftsmanship.
But when he turned ne saw Ann
smiling at him. He looked around
and saw that the other girl had
gone. Then, suddenly, his whole
manner changed. The salesman
ship vanished, and he was laugh
ing with her.

Then he talked less glibly, less
like a salesman. >, /
His manner became almost awS- !
ward but it was an attractive !
awkwardness because of his clean |
cut good looks. His blue eyes /
held a curious light in them. !
"Mr. Ware, must | really 60. TO

She was laughing at him. He
flushed deeply, and she was sorry
for having hurt him. au
Call me Bill" he said. All
day long in the office nobody
calls me anything but Mr.. Ware;
I'm. human, too. | like to be with
pretty girls"
'sOh~ Ann said archly. Some
how she hadn't been considering
him in a romantic light. Out OF
sheer curiosity she let her eyes
meet his again. She found it hard
to escape his impetuOus regard
Perhaps he was lonely. Ann
had known loneliness in a city
teeming with millions. 1t was
truly hard to meet the right peo-
pleEthe people who wouldn't use

by your intrusion into their lives. !
A city. she knew, can be the lone

eyes held a glow of pride. "Now

frivolous things"
'sYou think girls are-frivolous !
things" Ann said, smiling at HIM. !
For some reason she wanted to |
tease him. "By the way, are you
trying to sell me trip to Lake
Racine or are you trying to sell
me-yourself?"
He flushed again, and began to
apologize. ''Pm sorry. You know,
Pm not at the office any longer

She eyed him sterniy again.
