you, you'd be helping me out
too"
When they arrived at Charles
ton the following day Bret hired
an automobile for the 100 mile
trip to the little town near which
he was building his bridge. He
explained he had driven his own
car down south to leave with his
folks for the winter. "They're
getting DID," he said. 'I'm glad
can make their last years the
best"
Il don't remember my father
OF mother" Connie told him,
thinking that his must be proud
of him. Then she remembered
that she was Katie Blyn! But
there are eight of us" she added
quickly. "ToO many in one small
house. That was one reason l
started out on my own"
Bret's attention was focused on
the road, which was becoming
steep and narrow, now that they
were in the hills. But he managed

there was more than One-pcr-
haps you had a quarrel with your

1t was her turn to glance sharp
" at him. what makes you ask
that?"

tractive as you are is bound to
have a sweetheart" he said light
| ly. "She would hardly start out
not knowing where she was going
uless she had qualTeled with him.
Though eight of you-well, that
would be few too many! Still,
won't you miss them? This town
is only little over thousand.
| hope you won't find it lonely"
Connie assured him that she
would not. Almost she had added,
mot if you are there" The
thought stayed with her; kept her
silent.
She wondered what it was
about this man that made her feel
she could put her trust in him
and not be mistaken, ever, She
only had known him few days;
vet time did not seem to matter.
It was as though the comradeship
Of the open road, their mutual
experiences, had bridged that
gulf.
"Now we're getting into real
country" Bret said, later on. "See
those big boys looming up in the
distance? They're the Shenan-
doahs; 5000 feet, some of them.
Feel the difference in the air?
Take a breath and fill your lungs.

troubles, make you new once
more"
"You love your country, don't
you?" Comics voice was soft
with understanding. She who had

summer one, had never called

"All that women think OF, it
seems, is romance.
Maybe the day will come when
you'll find it's worth thinking
about" Connie predicted. She
supposed there had not been
much time for romance in his
busy life. Yet she liked that about
him.

darkly; then his scowl dcepencd.

started to fall; before long the
windshield was thick with them,

claimed. 81 didn't suppose it

CHAPTER VIII
They were to change buSSes at
Asheville. Over a delicious break
fast of ham and eggs and coffee,
they discussed ways and means,
as Bret expressed it,
Are you good at figures?" he
asked. Il could use a girl at the
camp. Old Pop Walters is the on
ly one in the office now and has
more work than he can handle
since the jobs in full swing. You'd
be doing me a real favor, Miss
Blyn, if you'd like to try it."
Connie thought how fine it was
of him TO put it that way. She
said she would like to, very much.
Thanks to Uncle Tippy, she was
prepared for an opening like this.
He had seen to it that his niece
had acquired sufficient business
training that would enable her to
understand and handle her large
Inheritance.

shade obviously. Though | prom

that there was less fear of rec

If she had hoped he would say
