Long afterward Sally was to re-
member that lovely day by the
brook and the things they had
talked about and how happy they
had been.
Many, many times she was to
wonder why she had not spoken

about his benefactor and all that
he felt he owed him. If only she
had! How much heartache might
have been spared.
But Dan had told Sally that day
that he believed in her. She had

deceived him again. That her ia

to; that Dan owned his position
and his chance to make good in

Afterwards she could see that
that was what she should have
done. 1t had been such a perfect
day, they had been such friends,
Sally and Dan. If Sally had been
the one to tell him she could have
made Dan understand. But how

that attitude. He told her, as he
had before, that he expected to

"You might as well make up
your mind to it, my sweet" Corey
said. But he knew now it was
not going to, be so easy as he had
thought. He knew that Sally
really believed she loved Dan
Reynolds.
Corey had told himself before
that it was only because Sally
felt responsible for Dams acct

that things had changed. Dan had
changed, certainly. He had got
