Mildred Leahy bought the fox.
Mildred travels out of town and her
roommate Phoebe has to care for Rey-
nard, "the hooked fox" as he's come
to be known to Phoebe's boss. For
the boss, it seems, has become q per-
feet sucker for Phoebe's explanations
of why she was late to work when it
was because of the fox. In fact, the
boss has even told Phoebe she can
be late within reason so long as she
comes up with . fairly catchy story
of how the hooked fox gagged on the
listerine. regarded his tail newly set
with curling irons, or refused to eat
his cereal for breakfast.

Let's have the trimmings" said Nancy, an excited note In her voice.
 "Now, I know the kind of wife you're going to make some man some day. He won't be able to make money fast enough for youl"
 Nevertheless Ronnie looked pleased. He pressed the bell and Q servant in livery answered iIn- mediately, bowed and withdrew.

 Nancy was only half listening tc the bantering talk. Her eyes shone as she moved across the soft rugs nlshings from the old world, ex- quisite pieces of statuary, glitter ing chandeliers from great French and Italian palaces, beautiful Ve- netian mirrors. It was all mag nificent, spectacular.
 An hour later Bonnie told Nancy goodby at the door of her home.
 "Oh, Ronnie, it's been lovely. II was almost as though I had been travelling, too"
 i've had . great time" Ronnie squeezed her hands. Guess I'd better be on my way or I won't make 1t back by lunch time"
 Half way down the walk, he turned. Nancy still stood in the doorway, but the glow had left her face. She wore the expression that was more familiar to him, the sole emn look of Q little girl who has been disillusioned about Santa Claus.

THE seven.cent stamp of the i036 \ q. S. National Parks series Il. illustrates q scene that really is not part of the national park for which the stamp was designed. It shows Great Head. at Bar Harbor. Mo-. highest rocky promontory on the U. s. Atlantic coast. overlooking Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island.
 The island. Great Head. and oth. or jagged slopes on the Maine coast line are what is left of m. cient geologic eroslons and up' heavals that eliminated with the glacial sweep of the Tee Age. Un' til the glacier came. the Maine coast was still about 200 feet be- meath the surface of the sea. But as tho ice melted. the region slow' ly roso and the sea crept In among the numerous channels that had been cut by previous earth move ments. Thus the numerous islands along the coast arose.
 One of these is picturesque Mount Desert. which is now Acadia National Park and which Is remem. bered by the seven-cent stamp of the National Parks series.

said eagerly: I'll go If you prom" ise not to leave out one single thing"
 That was c large order. But with Nancy's intense, interested face turned toward him, Ronnie found himself growing expansive Nancy hadn't travelled, but she was well read. Strangely enough, she was most interested in the places that had appealed to Ronnie most.
 They passed Ronnie's home and presently, returning. passed 1t again.
 Ronnie remembered what Dana had said about his home the day he had first seen her, looking love- ly and glowing in that old rattle- trap of Q car. ..
 Gloomy old dump" Ronnie said now.
 Nancy stared. "You don't like it?"
 Not especially. DO your"
 Better than any place in town" NuIlCy bhiu' Auu ocSI Stoah"St was q child when your father built 1t. I always thought of 1t as q castle. I've always thought of It that way. Besides it's beautiful"
 Ronnie laughed. But there was a tight feeling in his throat. or all the people in the world, Nancy was the last he would have sus- pected of such sentiments.
 Dana hadn't liked his home. She had told him SO frankly. True, she had not known 1t was his home, but the fact remained. He hoped some day Dana would grow to Ike It. If she didn't he'd have to sell 1t after they were married and build another.
 Lately Ronnie had developed . real affection for the place. Per- haps 1t was his long absence that had made him sentimental about 1t. Or 1t might be associations. The house was filled with memories of his father, who had loved every inch of 1t. The immense structure represented the fulfillment of his fathers long dream of achieve ment. It had been . symbol of power for which his father had struggled most of the years of his life.
 RonnIe turned the car. Would you like to have Q look ct it in. sitlo?" he asked.
 Could we?"
 "You funny grill Could wei I have an idea we could"
 Nancy smiled. Tts hard to re- aiize 1t is really your home. I never associate grandeur with you, Ronnie."
 "Is that ono of your subtle digs2 Or is 1t meant as compliment?"
 DO your own thinking" Nancy retorted gaily.
 They drove through the tall Iron gate, along the curving drive. At the door, Ronnie turned to ask, Do you like your grandeur served with all the trimmings2 A touch of the bell will bring one of the servants. Or we can just turn Q key in the lock and enter unan- nounced."

CHAPTER xxXYx

Despite the fact that he was try ina to be understanding, Ronnie wa aggrieved by Dana's assertion. ' had not been fiattering, to say th' least for Dana to accept Cyril Lan' casters invitation to go fishing.
 when their absence lengthenet mast the breakfast hour Ronnie wal sure he had jVgt cause for grieV' afice. ,,. Gay groups eddied about him. Nt ono was gayer than Paula, bu0 Runiaie senSed that Paula wal wearing Q mask. Her high-pitchee laughter held note that was al' most hysterical. For some reason Bonnie felt sorry for Paula.
 As though drawn by Q current ol sypmpathy, she detached herself from the others and joined him.
 "They should have caught all tho fish in the lake by this time, sht said, adding, Tt occurs to mo that you and are in the same boat "Oh. I guess we could have flshed, too, if we hadn't been lazy, Ronnie said carelessly.
 'sDon't be dumb, l didn't mean thit." -. aWhat did you mean9" Ronnit asked impatiently.
 Paula's eyes narrowed. "Dane and I are Q couple of fools" she said slowly. But she is a bigger fool than I ever was. Figure II out" Ronnie drowned. Paula was ale ways trying to be subtle. Or was this her way of making trouble settling 0 score with Danap If she was limiting something about Scott it was all Q lot of nonsense. Dana had been divorced from Scott SIX months now, and 1t had been al- most year since she had left nm Women don't go about in these modern times eating their hearts Out for men they have deliberately divorced. Ronnie determined that he would not let what Paula had said worry him. ,. But on hour later he was driv:: ing to town. He had explained that business required an hour or two of his time. :. "Irl be back by lunch time,' Ronnie said. "Tell Dana to save her biggest Ash for me"
 On the drive his resentment in- creased. He had dreamed Of hia homecoming through months oi travel. The boat couldn't dock fast enough to suit him. Yet here he was, alone, ditched for q man who meant nothing at oil to Dana He drove past the Cameron home Nancy was coming down the walk Ronnie stopped the car and got out Nancy stopped and waited, her dark eyes wide.
 "Well, Nancy" Ronnie leased q expected a big, welcoming smile and what do get' Not even a how.de.do."
 Nancy laughed nervously, "Servet you right. Looming up in front of me, when I thought you were miles away"
 She made no move to go. Which Bonnie decided humorously, was real compliment. Whenever Nancy saw him, she always made a dasf for Q door.
 ''Where's Dana?"
 "Out at the lake"
 "Oh," Nancy said. She added sYou must have had a wonderful time abroad, Bonnie. I suppose you've seen everything there is tt sec. It must have been grand"
 "Not so grand. It can be lonely as the deuce when you go days or end without seeing anyone yo, know or care about"
 He thought Nancy's face cloudet a little. Nancy must be rather lonely. She had SO little fun. Ina was why she nagnifled such thingi as travelling.
 On an impulse he said, "Hov about a spin? I'll review for yot in IS minutes what 1t took me si, months to sec"
 Amazingly, Nancy agreed. Sht
