He smiled and held her hand
tucked beneath his arm as they
breasted the gale and swung down
the street
Il love YOU" Chris said. simply.
DO you darling? can't be-
lieve it's true. I couldn't sleep all
night for thinking about it,
Grave Face
She noticed then that his hand
some face was grave and more
disturbed than she had ever seen
it,
You told your fsther?" she
asked snxiously.
Yes. Your mother was right
Gail. He went into q tail spin.
You see Dad knows 1t was the
disgrace OF being convicted which
killed your father. And DADS
sense of responsibility for the
whole thing can only be justified
by the belief that Robert Trenton
was guilty"
When Gail did not speak he con-
tinued eagerly. Il told him first
that we were engaged and he con-
graduated me. He gives you
plenty of credit for having reused
my ambition and said he couldn't
ask for finer girl as daughter-in-
law.
Everything would have been
all right if had left 1t there but
I kept my promise and told him
the rest as automatically as I
could. l even admitted to him that
it was your idea that he must
know but it didn't do any good. We
sat up Until three o'clock fighting
it out but he wouldn't give an
inch.'
II suppose he suggested firing
me ?" she asked.
Yes. I finally obtained his per-
mission to give you the news my.
self"
"Ill go as soon as we get back
she assured him.
when you go so do l." Chris
said grimly.
But, Chris, you can't do that"
"Oh, yes, can. I'm not going
to give you up, Gail. No matter
what Dad says. But naturally we
can't get married until find.
another jon."
His loyalty sent a smile tug
cling at the corners of her mouth,
and over the lunch they scarcely
touched they made their plans.
From now on it's you and
I together. Dad can string along
or take the consequences. I know
plenty Of important people in this
town and thanks to you I've learn
ed how to work. I shan't hesitate
to pull any strings 1 can so don't
worry, Sweetie." he said.
Her immediate concern although
she did not remind him of it was
position for herself. But a good
stenographer could always find
something and gradually as Chris
talked the color came back into
her pale cheeks.
This was only temporary set
back. So long as they loved each
other everything would work out.
On the way back to the store
Chris said. You don't have to
quit today you know. You're en-
titled to two weeks notice"
II wouldn't stay another hour"
she replied trying to smile. Mr..
Reid might have me arrested as
my father was. I'm sorry, Chris,
I didn't mean to hurt you"
"rll see TO it that you get your
two weeks salary anyway" he
promised.
She thanked him and as soon
as she returned collected her be-
longings from her desk intending
to leave without a word of fare
well or explanation. But as she
started out of the office a sudden
impulse made her stop before the
Presidents door and knock.
