quickly and greeted Francie just
as she always had.
Francie responded In the same
manner, and they started to work.
Days went on as they had before
that dark girl had come between
Ylena and Tate.
One morning after Ylena had
been home about a week, Francie
answered the telephone, then hand

stery material for the sunroom In

Ylena understood the strange ex-
preston she had caught in the
dark girls tragic eyes when she
answered and heard Tate Crom-
wells voice. While she stood there,
hating herself because the mere
sound Of his voice put bands of fire
around her heart, she noticed Fran

happy mouth. That pitiful sight
brought her back TO her senses
She broke into the flow OF words
to which she really had not been
