 Clara finished her MvsrwuEst on rye. she gave Ann an address on West Murray. It was but five blocks from the Center. The girls parted on . high wave of antcipa- tion.
 One suitcase and a paper bag with stout handles held all AnnS belongings. In the suitcase she packed Q small assortment Of clothes, an electric iron, six yellow plates from the dime store, and three pictures. The shopping sack contained shoes, coat hangerS-one never found enough in furnished room-and Q blooming violet plant. It was unfortunate that Ann, loaded with the suitcase and bag. her heavy coat and an umbrella, should crash into Paul Hayden as she hurried away from the room- ing house. After all her care to avoid such a meeting, it was really too bad. Not recognizing her vic- tim in the dark, she started back apologetically.
 T beg your pardon" she gasped. fighting herself.
 'Well, I'll be darned."
 oh" Turning, she walked rap- idly away from him, chin in the air. He followed, catching her arm.
 Where are you going?" he asked.
 "Away-just away"
 Away from where? Where have you been?"
 "I've been living in Q room in that house back there. I'm moving because don't like my neighbors. !" She was very stiff about 1t.
 Are you headed for some place in particular"
 Certainly. And it's not park bench"
 "Here-let me carry your junk"
 "Going to the FTP"
 T can manage nicely"
 She did not answer and he wrenched the suitcase out of her hand. She flexed her fingers grate. fully. It had been heavy. Relieving her of the paper bag. Paul walked beside her.
 "Great guns," he exclaimed. "What have you got in this suit case? Gold bricks?"
 "It's the body" she told him.
 He laughed. It was 8 nice laugh, low and throaty. T thought you were making your getaway in a hurry. Look out, young lady, your sin will find you out"
 "I hate to disappoint you, but I've covered my tracks"
 They approached the lighted Fl station. "I'll take the evidence now" !" she said, cooly. Tt has been very nice of you to help me. ! would never have expected such generos- ity.'
 "Go on inside. You can't get this load up the stairs"
 "Oh, yes I can."
 "Oh, no you can't"
 "It will cost you 10 cents"
 "I'll give a dime to the cause"
 Ann paid one fare, the young man another. Silently they climbed the stairs. Paul placed her bags on the platform. Good night" he said, and swung away toward the stairs. Ann lost him in the crowd.
 What a contradictory person he was, she thought. She haa the feeI-s ing that he liked her and did not want to like her. Was 1t because of the incident in the library? Did he still believe that she was out to make friends as best she could? Her heart pounded. It could not have thudded more decidedly if she had carried the heavy suitcase up the stairs. Mentally she shook herself.
 "IIl not be interested in a stock man at the Decent store," she told herself firmly. "What do I care what he thinks? I'll never see him again."
