girl comes to see your" Rita said.
And then: well, are you going to
invite me in or not ?"
"Of course" Bill said. Come
on in" He pulled out chair. "Sit
down. I was just going" {.
Then I'm glad got here when
I did," said Rita. She sat down,
found a cigaret and held it out for
Bill to light. "As long as I was in
Asheville, thought I might as
well run up and see you"
Then it was you Joel saw last
night"
Joel? Where was hep"
"Dining and dancing at the
Grove Park inn with Eve"
Eve? "~ Rita was interested at
once. "Who's she?"
"a school teacher" said Bill.
Rita laughed.
Just the sort Of person good old
Joel would go after" she said.
But don't get the idea Ewes
spinstery, plain sort Of person"
Bill said hurriedly, coming to
Ewes defense before he realized
what he was doing. "She's not like
that at ALL"
"Oh, seew Rita searched Bills
face. you mean you take her out
also ?"
"Well. not exactly-but she has
been helping me gather material
for a mountain story I'm writing"
"Your latest inspiration. Is that
it?"
Perhaps" Bill found a cigaret
for himself. But for Pete's sake,
stop asking questions about Eve. ]

Are you sorry?"
"No. Why should be? After all,
you're free, white and twenty-one."
yes. Bill" very softly. II am
free. I suppose your Aunt Sallie
wrote you that didn't marry Don
after ALL"
"She did. What was the matter?
Couldn't YOU take IL when Don
didn't get the California 1ob?"
1T wasn't that, Bill; not alto
gether. Don Just didn't have any
immediate prospects, and I didn't
think should saddle him with a
wife until he got located"
Very considerate Of you, I'm
sure" said Bill. you showed more
consideration for him than for
me, 1t seems"

see Rita ?" Bill demanded excitedly
AT the Grove Park inn," Joel
told him. "She had evidently just
arrived, and was being taken up
to her ROOM"
did you look at the register7"
"No."
swell, for Pete's sake, why didn't
you?"
1T was none Of my business,
that's why. Besides, it was getting
late and Eve wanted to get started
for home"
Bill got up. He lit cigaret and
began to pace the floor.

1T looked so much like her."
said Joel, Il stopped dead In my
tracks to stare at her."
did she see your"
"No."
But what in heck would she be
doing at the Grove Park inn?
Maybe she thought It was a
good place to forget"
Forget what?"
THE way she had ditched you
for Don, and then ditched Don for
well, that's yet to be decided"
"Rita-up in Asheville," said
Bill. almost as though speaking to
himself. II thought she was with
some Of her cousins"
Maybe she changed her mind
about staying on with them," Joel
suggested. Changing her mind
seems to be one Of Rita's chief
charms. Listen, Bill, how do you
know she's not on your trail?"
There you 60 talking like a
darned fool again" Bill exploded
"She doesn't know where I am,
and"
Don't YOU talk like a darned
fool" said Joel. You know per-
fectly well that the home folk have
learned before this that you came
up here with me. The whereabouts
of SO important q person as Will
liam Randall Latham can't be kept
secret indefinitely" He went on
with his preparations to retire.

let you have the car tomorrow II
you like-and you can 60 out to
the inn yourself and have a look at

Aren't you and Eve going to

had decided that Bill was the man
