was lightning and she was afraid Of
being killed."
Betty nodded her head eagerly rs
she slammed the ice box door shut.
"And how one teacher said he'd have
her expelled If she didn't stop cut
ting classes? Gee, Elaine, those
were the days. II only a person
didn't have to grow up. II only we
could remain schoolgirls forever.
Gosh, when ..
Lights Go Out.
Betty's words trailed Oh into a
whoop Of Joy as the kitchen lights
suddenly f1ickered out. Elaine
glanced about curiously as q loud
clap Of thunder reverberated over
head. The storm was q fierce one
If 1t could impair electrical service
in the city.
She reached out and grasped
Betty's shoulder as the girls figure
loomed darkly before her. "Clara!"
she said worriedly. She'll be scared
stiff"
Betty nodded and together they
felt their way out of the kitchen
and down the hall. Clara's fear of
lightning could make her do strange
things. Before they had taken more
than few steps the lights came
back on again and Elaine smiled
thankfully.
Probably just a short circuit in
the powerhouse," Betty remarked,
opening the living room door.
Elaine heard Betty's sharp in
drawn gasp as she opened the door.
Fearful for Clara, Elaine peered into
the living room, her eyes flashing
to the couch on which Clara had
been sitting. Suddenly her heart
seemed to stop beating. suddenly a
wave of anger. disgust. hatred swept
over her. Clara was moving away
now, her cheeks scarlet, and Eric
was Strengthening his tie-but she
had seen them, seen them locked in
q tight embrace, Eric's lips pressed
down on hers, Clara answering kiss
with kiss!
A low moan tore from Elaine's
lips as she sagged against the door
way. So Betty had guessed correctly.

The lieutenant in command Of the

Clara was in love with Eric-and
he was in love with her. What q
fool she had been, what a blind,
stupid creature she was not to have
guessed this sooner! OF course that
explained Eric's behavior on the
long walk through the storm. He
was in love with Clara-her best
friend!
Friend? So that was the kind Of
girl Clara was-she didn't even have
the decency to wait until she was
out Of the house before she tried
to steal the man she loved.
Had loved! AS she walked slowly
down the hall and got her raincoat,
Elaine realized that she was through
with Eric. AS Jane had said, he
was no good. He was just hand
some boy with loads Of money, but
without character. She would never
see him again.
Never!

with amazement. she glanced at her
still so5er-faced ch,m.
Betty, do you mean to say you
walked me all the way out here just
to ask me question like that?"
Betty slowly nodded her head and
put her chicken back on the plate.
"It's more important than 1t seems,
Elaine. II you are interested In my
advice, I would suggest that you
marry Eric-tomorrow!"
Nine Days 70 Go.
The smile disappeared from her
lips as Elaine realized for the first
time just how serious Betty was.
Thoughts raced At lightning speed
through her brain and instinctively
she felt that Betty was on the verge
Of explaining Clara's and her own
peculiar behavior. Carefully she
wiped her fingers on the napkin,
trying to think out an answer.
Eric and I are going to be mar
ried at the end Of the month";" she
told Betty with happy smile. I'VE
decided he was to have q month In
which to try out his job, and that
If he felt he could stick 1t out
despite his mothers disapproval we
would be married. And Betty, there
are only nine more days to go!"
"A lot can happen In nine days,
Betty said mysteriously. Elaine, I
wish you wouldn't ask any questions
but just do as I suggest. Marry
Eric tomorrow"
Her eyes were almost wild with
pleading as she sprang from her
chair and walked airnlessly up and
down the white tiled floor. If you
are in love you shouldn't wait any
way. You might be struck by an
auto and killed, or struck by
lightning while you're out in q storm
such as this and-and sometimes q
girl can even lose q man to some
one else"
Elaine grinned. "Well, Miss Ca
lamity Jane. If you are worried about
Helen you can forget all about her.
Eric told me she left for California
last night. She's travelling by plane
and she should be home by now"
Betty shook her head slowly. then
took deep breath and plunged in.
Worried About Clara.
elaine, I'm not worried about
Helen, but am worried about Eric
and-and Clara!"
Too horrif1ed at the Implication
OF those words to speak. Elaine could
only stare at Betty's tortured face.
In the stiffness of the room she
could hear the wild beat Of her
heart-or was that the thunder that
roared ominously overhead? Eric
and Clara? Absurd! Clara wasn't
interested in love; she was going to
be a business woman. Betty was
being a little bit silly, as usual. Or
was she? Could she be explaining
to her the reason for the sudden
change that had taken place in
Eric; could she be trying to explain
the reason for the strange manner
in which Clara had greeted him?
Il don't know much about the
whole thing" Betty continued softly.
"All do know is that Clara had a
long talk with Eric at the store the
other day and tonight she acted
very strangely when I asked her If
she was in love with Eric. She de-
MED it. of course, but in such q way
that-well, you know how Clara
acts when she's telling a lie. I
don't think she is really madly in

love with Eric yet, but she will be,
Elaine. If you don't hurry up and
marry HIM. Once he's married to
you, Clara will have the loyalty and
decency to forget all about him.
But IS long as he stays single and
she can See him there's a real
danger she will fall in love with
him. and II that ever happens -
1T never will happen" Elaine
spoke with more confidence than
she really felt. "Clara Just likes
Eric as every one does. I think you
are imagining things, Betty. After
all. I'm Clara's friend. and in the
second place, Eric loves me. What
you're suggesting could never hap
pen"
Elaine Secretly Wonders.
Betty rushed across the room, a
relieved smile on her face, Are you
sure about that ElaineT But of
course you are. I'm q dumb bell!
I guess I was just imagining things.
Clara always acts rather peculiar
when there's a thunderstorm raging
and I just mistook her fear for
love-"
Elaine grinned back at her re-
lieved friend, but found herself won-
dering why Eric had never men,
toned that he had met Clara. She
sighted. Probably he had been
afraid that she would think he was
playing department store politics.
AS though such a thought could
ever enter her head. She knew Eric
and knew there wasn't a toadying
bone in his body. Sometimes she
wished he would have more conf
dence in her love for him.
Storm Is getting worse" Betty
remarked conversationally as she
placed the remains of the chicken
back in the ice box. Say, isn't it
odd that Clara should be 50 afraid
of thunder and lightning. For a
moment this evening I was afraid
she was going to faint or some
thing"
Elaine welcomed the change of
subject. Remember the time she
refused to 60 to class because there

CHAPTER 20.

Eric appeared even handsomer
than he had looked the day Clara
had the long discussion with him in
her fathers Office. AS he and Elaine
walked into the softly-nghted, we'll
furnished room his face had that
peculiarly clean, flushed appear
ance which only warm rain beating
at the cheek manages to impart,
and his eyes were bright and clear
as though the walk through the
storm had driven the cobwebs of
despair and worry from his mind.
Clara smiled with satisfaction. She
had been right in her judgment Of
him. Eric was all man once he was
in an environment to which he was
accustomed.
Elaine. too, was thinking along
the same line. All during the long
walk from the subway station up
Fifth avenue to the Blanchard
house she had seemed to be with a
different Eric, an Eric who laughed
often, an Eric who was like a
happy-go-lucky boy again, the same
CdlCAiCC, AlcSpOlloiOlc wy WAtA
whom she had fallen in love.
But strangely enough it was an
Eric she could not truthfully claim
she liked. OF course, she was prob
ably being silly, but somehow she
couldn't help feeling that in this
sort of atmosphere he was slipping
away from her and that Clara was
unconsciously helping him to do so.
Elaine looked with interested eyes
at the two of them as they sat
chatting easily with each other upon
the couch. That was peculiar too:
Eric was not the type of man who
made friends easily, yet he seemed
to know Clara very we'll. And
Betty-why was she sitting so tense
ly in her chair; why were her eyes
