that.

incoming about things, however,
was d luxury which Mr.. William
Ward Bailey seldom permitted
himself to enjoy. 1t was foreign to
his temperament normally, he who
had always been man of action,
more recently a star football half
back and go-getter in everything.
SO, he left his bench now with
his mind as fully made up as it had
been confused half an hour ago.
IF I've got to discharge Lola,
I've got to do it," he told himself.
"I'n push it through-get into her
confidence and settle the matter
once and for ALL"
He went upstairs to his room and
changed his clothes. Then he took
the Mortified car that he used and
drove away in it. The hour was
still no latter than 1880.
AS he drove he worked out the
details of his new plan in his mind.
The more he thought, the more
tingly he became about it. He was
back 'in character" again, an i'm
aginative boy with abundant verve
and energy, courageous if not cdi3-
tious. He was off to me- adj
venture. He wouldn't like So e.. as
poets of it, but he figured H. would
be interesting, to say the least.
He drove the long miles trough
city traffic to the crowded and
rather unlovely part of town,
parked the car near the same spot
he had parked it on Saturday. This
time, though, he did not move fur
lively. He even whistled as he APP
preached the shabby rooming
house.
He went right on upstairs to her
door and knocked, and she came
at once to open it.

flashed his irresistible smile at the
dark girl. Sort of wanted to chin

He realized he had said things and

dered why.
In truth, there We're two or three
causes for his snloldering misery.
For one thing, his discovery of Lola
Montesa's guilt was great dis
turbance to him, now that the rush
ing excitement of tile play had end
ed. He had hired her for Mr.. Mer-
rifeld in the first place, and now it
would be his task to discharge her,

he earnestly disliked having to do
any such thing.

that he was crazy for love Of Gayle

CHAPTER TWENrY-NINE

CHAPTER TWENrY-NINE
BECAUSE SHE liked the way he
said things as much as what he
said, Gayle had slipped into the
habit of reading Cholly Earring
tons gossipy coluran every morn
ing in The Chronicle Post. Several
mornings recently he had chatted
about The Oaks and the goings-on
there. Most of what he said had
been complimentary.
This morning she was downstairs
at seven o'clock, and Graham
brought her the paper on a tray
with tall glass of pineapple juice.
The juice, slightly chilled, had q
sprig of mint in it, mint from the
Mortified garden on the east side.
The yellow juice and the green
mint were beautiful, and Gayle
'lolled back in a deep porch chair
to enjoy the luxury here. She
slipped the juice, and nibbled at the
mint to enhance its aroma, and she
gazed out at the glory of the early
morning. She had come to like
these breakfast hours more and
more. Sometimes she ate and Wis
tied here with Old Mr.. Merrifeld,
sometimes she was alone.
I'm not entitled to all this" she
told herself today, as she had often
done before. why should I be sud-
denly snatched from a cottage,
struggling all the time for a living,
and placed in a mansion? l wasr t
destined for this. It's grand but it
doesn't belong to me-"
Still, she knew better than to
walk out deliberately on such a
"break" in life. She had come here
to get a job and certainly it was no
fault of hers if the job turned out
to be a strange, whimsical ore in
surroundings of dignity and wealth.
In these moderL times, one takes
whatever good job one can find, so
long as it is respectable.
1T may not last long" she adj
mitted to her mother on visits
home. "But it certainly is in my
favor while I'm there. Mr.. Merri-
field is ever so generous. The 'eX-
pense money he gives amounts to
a salary, really. I'm ahead even if
never get the-the $4,000"
"Oh, dear" Her mother had been
distressed about that, and was still
so every time Gayle mentioned it.
II don't like your having to court
rich young man, or make him
whatever it is, I don't like having
your heart tempered with, Gayle,
honey. Not for any pay"
Gayle had laughed that off.
"Oh, gee, that's just all in FUN,
really, mother. I'm nothing but a
sort of hostess there, and a big Sis
ter to Jeremy. I'm quietly coach
ing him along. If he should happen
to imagine himself in love with me
some time and propose to me, that
would be grand. I would simply be
sweet to him and maybe direct his
interest. You see, Jeremy's emo
tons are back in the high school
stage. He may fall in love two or
three times before he really wants
to get married, mother"
Mrs. Dixon had sighed. you talk
like a mature woman, child"
Goodness, mother, I am al
most 3d."
Alone on the broad porch at The
Oaks this morning, though, Gayle
realized that her own heart was
not immune to emotional stimuli,
after all. She hadn't slept well last
night. She had, somehow, done a
lot of miXed-up thinking in bed, IL
logical but insistent imaginings.
She had gone to bed at 10, and got
ten up at II to hunt bite to eat
and then wander around the house

and dainty mules-the blue set she

had gotten for Christmas.
Bill had come in at midnight,
and after they had talked a bit she
went back to bed. Bill had said that
he saw Lola Montcsa but he hadn't
explained anything about why,
This morning she was still vaguely
disturbed by it. Her pineapple juice
was almost done when she opened
The Chronicle-Post TO read it.
Cholly Farrington's column was

tertaining. She hoped he might
cheer her up this morning. The sec

once.

The cosby column disturbed
Gayle anew.

read the.passage, and wa suddenly
furious at the possibilities it sug-
gested. A movie tryout? That
should have been exciting news;
but, no, she was not even remotely
interested in the movies. Anyway
that wasn't the part Of Earring
tons colmun which interested her
now.
Bill hadn't said anything about
taking Lola to a night club! Bill
had even limited strongly that Lola
was the person who stole the
Tways' watch-and yet Bill had
taken Lola cut to dance and have
a good time.
He's never taken-he's never
even asked me for a date" Gayle
whispered to herself. Her lips were
drawn tight so that they lost much
of their natural color But all at
once she relaxed, slumped back in
her chair and smiled. "I'n? being
very silly" she unused. What if
he did take Lola out? Why
shouldn't he? l don't have any-we
both just work here, and every
thing"

humor, but it didn't settle the
vague little ranking deep in her
heart. In person of uglier temper
