CHAPTER II


For fully 10 minutes Linda
rested her head on Pete's shout
der, and then she remembered
who she was. With the tight little
wet ball of her own handkerchief,
she wiped the last Of her tears
away, smoothed her rumpled
frock, tucked her hair up and
drew away.
Don't mind me-" Pete said.
And a good cry often does a
world of good. Have a cigaret ."
He rendered his crumpled pack.
"N-no, thank you" Linda started
to say, then reached with a hand
that still trembled childishly.
Thanks" she said, as steadily
as her clOSe-to-tearS voice would
permit. She swallowed hard and
strove for poise; Then, remember
ing, she lost what little she could
assume. Her composme crumbled
and she buried her face in her
arms.
"Say, look he4e-that won't do
any good" Pete, in the throes of
an unaccustomed emotion, found
himself, for once, with pity lend
ing a sturdy brake to the flow of
his ftippant talk. What did fell
low say to comfort weeping
girl?
'T'm all fright. Don't m-mind
me. I'll stop ina minute" Linda
brought out between Sobs.
want me to go away" Pete
was sure that she did.
"No," she answered to his sur
prise. "Please may have your
handkerchief again."
"What is there about me that
appeals to ladies in distress" he
asked foolishiy when the silence
threatened to become permanent.
"Im sure | don't know any
thing about your ladies in dis
tress," Linda said at last. but
| | don't want to be alone. y
"Alone? How about the fam
ily?" Pete nodded toward the
house.
81 haven't any family. My
aunt went away today and Father
as you know :" Her unhn-
ishcd sentence brought them both
back to remembering the last time
they had met.
After little pause, and with
no small embarrassment, Pete
said, 81 dropped around to tell
you that you misunderstood the
reason for my visit the that
other night. | didn't come to get
a story. I came because well,
because / hoped perhaps you
hadn't heard and l had Il funny
idea l might be able to tell you
without it's hurting more than
was necessary"
Iinda'S eyes grew little wider
as she appraised him, seeing him
for. the first time as person.
Pete was embarrassed by her 81
lent scrutiny.
Guess | was pretty preSump-
tuouS. | don't usually get that
way. | wanted you to know,
though"
"I'm glad you told me- she said
gravely. "Why did you do that?
Why did you come to tell me-"

of her." There was moisture IN
| Linda's eyes, but Pete could not
know the reason why. s
"I'd like you to meet her." Pete
said quickly, and as quickly half
regretted it before she answered.
'T'd like to-" That was all she
said, but it was sincere, not ges-
ture.

that he was so relieved by her
answer. "And now, young lady, |
think I'd better get you wrap or
something. It's getting dampish
out here"
Would you would you mind
coming in with me? l haven't had
supper and thought maybe, If
you'd keep me company, | might

like the president of the Junior
League than small, pathetic
child.

would tempt you | think / could

Later, sitting before a blazing
hearth in, the library, she told him
all the things she had been crying
over in the garden.
The Bourne fortune" was
gone. Her father had specialized
and the reason for his suicide was
obvious. The mills were in the
hands Of the receivers. There was
no money in the bank. The house
was clear Of debts, but Linda, LETT
pennilcsS( felt that she ought to
try and sell it.
"l'm not really afraid Of having
no money" she said hastily when
the story was finished. 81 can
work. Other girls have had to
face the necessity OF earning a
living and there's no reason why
I can't
Work is tough for a girl these
days" Pete said. Particularly for
a girl like you. ! meat: that you
have been used TO a different sort
of life and to different things
than the average working girl can
buy for herself today. You ought
to stay home with your family un-
til you get married" ....
When he said that. Linda
thought of Dix, and when she
thought of him that quick thrill
filed her and stabbed her heart
suddenly. There had been only
the short, conventional note from
Dix. Perhaps he thought it best
to wait for little time and then,
surely, he would come to see her.
Surely, after what he had said to
her.all those other times, he would
come soon.
"Haven't you some plans like
that?" Pete was speaking to her
and she had to come back from
the far place Of her memory.
Like WHAT" she asked.

last half-inch Of his cigaret. "
"You could marry me-" he said.

cause he didn't know how. He
didn't know himself. He couldn't
very well tell her that he liked the
way she carried her head, or that
he knew she was the kind of Il CIR
who could take the harder knocks
but he didn't want her to have
to take them. He shadn't really
thought about it before. When.
ever he thought about her he had
disliked her.
In his own mind he amended
the word dislike to resent. He
hadn't disliked her; he had re,
scented her. The latent pride in
him that had protected him SC
well through his young years had
met no challenge until he met
Linda and knew that he or his
kind did not exist for her.
And Pete, like most who knew
or thought they knew--Linda
Bourne, was wrong She was in
capable of snobbishness. She was
fair, kindly. gracious and intelli,
gent, but she was reserved and
had the considerate aloofness of
her class. She was not confidin%

"Yom mother? Pete heard the

lance between them didn't seem
too great:

was surprised that he had said it
he seldom spoke about his mother
with all the affection in his heart
so close to his voice.
"Tell me about her."

From the time when the school bell

thought probably turks much of the

time 81 young people will be graduated
