OF thinking about things, sooner or
later. Dads offer of a job is still

If couldn't persuade you to come
to talk to him. I'm miserable with
out you, Court" Her hand tight
ened on his arm. The others had
trouped ahead, all except Lucy, who
trailed them, stopping to pick a
daisy now and then or to investi-
gate something along the path that
interested her.
IF you love me, Court" Cynthia
went on in a subdued voice, you'll
want to please me, and to make a
decent living for me, too. This idea
of playing farmer may seem like fun
to you, but 1t doesn't to me. It's
humiliating. Please come back to
town, Court. The gang has parties
and things, and I have to depend
on Ricky." Her voice trailed off
petulantly and her mouth was drawn
into a pout.
Court came near reminding her
that always before she's been glad
to have Ricky take her about, but
he didn't. Il do love you, Cynthia, 4"
he said, looking deeply into her
eyes. You know I've always been
crazy about you. But the last few
days a realization has been grow
ing in me, feeling that there are
some things that are even more i'm
portant than love. Being independ-
ent, being able to-to 90 on your
own, Is more important. And be-
ing true to yourself. 1t sounds silly,
| but I have to learn to face life
myself, Cynthia, before I can ask
you to face it with me. That's
what I'm trying to say"
What on earth are you talking
about?" Cynthia said.
They walked on slowly without
speaking.
AS she started the car. Cynthia
leaned out and touched Courts arm.
"You will be thinking over what I
said. won't your" she begged. And
while you're sitting out here with
the grasshoppers and birds and
things, remember that love you"
There was something curiously
strained about the smile he gave

On Friday morning of that week
Cynthia and Ricky and the bunch
from Parsonville came out. all at
tired in bathing suits and gay beach
robes, to go swimming in the pit on
Courts farm. Lucy met them at
the front gate.
"Courtney's plowingl" she said
proudly. with the tractor!"
"Plowing?" Rick exclaimed. He
ehoked on the word, then looked at
Cynthia with such comical ex-
preston of surprise that every one
burst out laughing.
Court Filled With Dread.
Court came around the corner OF
the house Just at that moment. He
wore denim overalls, q trif1e short

and faded blue work shirt, open
at the throat, and a ragged straw
hat. His face and neck were beet

red from the sun, and perspiration
rolled down his face in little rivulets.
Court" Cynthia cried. Lucy said
you were-plowing"
He flushed. His heart, which had
lifted at the sight Of Cynthia, look
ing so sweet and fresh, sank now
with dread.
"Oh, was just trying it out, for
fun" he said.
Lucy gave him a look of surprise.
We've got some chickens, too"
she exclaimed suddenly. And I've
got a rooster named Mr.. Sparks"
"Chickens!" Ricky exclaimed.
How about cows and pigs?"
Not yet" Lucy answered COM,
placently.
Came for Swim.
Court cleared his throat and
mopped his face with his handker-
chief. THE chickens are Lucy's."
he explained apologetically. Again
he was aware OF her puzzled scru-
tiny.
1t was Cynthia who first noticed
Mary Crews. Dear me, Court" ;"
she said, pointing to Mary, who
was standing inside the window on
a stepladder, hanging curtains,
"how domesticl"
Why was it that Cynthia and
Ricky could put things in such a
light that he felt ridiculous and en-
barrassed? It'll look quite pre-
sentable, by the time they get 1t all
finished" he gulped, deliberately
ignoring the jibe.

face, a mixture Of anger and sur
prise He'd heard all Mary had said.
"She's some gal, if you ask mel"
STROBE on toward the pit.
Court halted suddenly and whirled
about. Don't ever try anything
like that again, Ricky," he said
curtly
why Court, well, what's 1t to
your" Ricky suffered, a bit swed
at the anger in Courts face.
Don't ever try it again, that's
ALL" Court said savagely.
Ricky rubbed his cheek. "I know
enough not to try it again, without
your telling me. But I still can't
see why 1t concerns you. He
turned and went back toward the
house
Court was all twisted up and
miserable inside Mary Crews seemed
to possess an unfortunate ability to
do this to him, make him take his
own emotions and feelings out and
examine them to find out exactly
what they were. He knew she was
right Of course. He had lied, saying
the chickens were Lucy's, and pre-
tended he was only driving the
tractor as lark because he couldn't
stand to be laughed at. 1t was all
true enough, what she'd said. But
he was furious to think that she
could see through him SO easily,
could make him face the truth
about himself.
Court, darling, whatever is the
matter with you?" Cynthia's throaty
voice cut through the haze of his
thoughts.
Nothing" he said grufay. He
wrested himself away from the un-
happy tumble of thoughts, and
threw himself into the fun, delib-
erately.
THANK heavenl" Cynthia said,
when they'd finished their swim and
all started back toward the house.
You're your old self again at last,
Court. Oh, darling" she whispered,
clinging to his arm and turning her
glance softly on him, II do love
you so. You're so much fun. And
just think, when we're married, our
life will be like this always. Funl
Such grand, good times together"
Court stopped suddenly and looked
down at her. But Cynthia, you
said-that is, you broke our en-
gagement. you know"
Cynthia's eyes searched his. "I

said after q moment. "Lucy said
there was such . lovely pool on the
grounds"

from telling, dear7" cynthia cried
with wheedling smile.
well" Lucy hesitated. You'd
better stay away from the far end
of the pit, II you know what's good
for you, because it's awful Deep"
What she started to say" Court
put in impatiently, was that al
most drowned myself there the
other day, but fortunately Mary was
there and she dragged me out. 1t
sounded so-stupid-that I'd rather
no one had know about it."
Cynthia'S brows lifted. She was
wondering whether it was the part
about nearly drowning that Court
didn't want her to know, or whether
it was the part about Mary Crews
being swimming there too. "Aren t
you and Mary getting rather beyond
the point of being Just neighbors?"
she inquired.
Ricky had gone into the house
and they could hear him chatting
with Mary about something, and
her answering laughter.
Ricky stays Behind.
IT hardly think so," Court an
swered. His jaw frightened.
please come swimming with us,
darling" Cynthia coaxed. She slid
her arm through his and looked up
at him with more animation In her
dark eyes than he had seen there in
a long time.
He grinned down at her, feeling a
warm flood of happiness 60 through
him suddenly. Il guess I will" he
decided
They were all at the pit before
Cynthia noticed Ricky's absence.
He stayed behind to talk to Mary
Lucy explained. HE wanted her to
come swimming. too, and when she
wouldn't he said he guessed he'd
stay with her"
Cynthia tossed her head, quite
unconsciously, and her dark eyes
flashed. "Well. how darlingp she
said expressively. She looked at
Court and found him frowning. She
knew nothing of what he had wit
messed at the house Q few moments
before.
Mary Crews had put Ricky to
work handing her curtains.
You must be pretty fond OF
Court, to 90 to all this work fol
him." Ricky teased.

"Oh, I see"

curtains and putting the house In
order, and giving him few chick
ems" She tilted her head, surveying
the hung curtains, touching them
here and there, arranging the folds
until they suited her.
Then he wasn't Just running the
tractor for fun, as he said?"
She shook her head as the step
ped down from the ladder. Hes
just a coward" she said, as she
folded the ladder before Ricky could
help her. HE isn't brave enough to
admit to YOU and Cynthia and the
others that he's actually working" "
Here, let me carry that ladder" F"
Ricky said. He followed her as she
walked toward the kitchen. Her
walk, he noticed, was very graceful,
perhaps because her hips were slen-
der and her shoulders held back and
her head lifted proudly.
Makes Herself Clear.
"You see," she said, he knows
that Cynthia and you and the others
think 1t isn't very smart to work,
with your hands, at least, and he
isn't brave enough to face disap-
proval from YOU"
Say" Ricky said slowly. "You
certainly put things straight, don't
you:."
do ~" She took her straw hat
from hook on the back porch and
paused at the door, looking back at
him, as she put 1t on.
Ricky thought she looked sweet.
The straw hat sort of framed her
face. He came closer, caught her
arm and pulled her to him. Before
she realized what was happening,
he had pressed his mouth down on
ners, held her close to him for
long moment. When at last she was
able to pull away, she reached up
and slapped him a smart hard blow
on the cheek.
Ricky put his hand over the place.
"You really do put things straight,
don't you'll" he reiterated.
Il try to make myself clear" she
retorted.
Ricky stared after her as she went
across the yard and along the path
that had been cut to the Crews
place He rubbed his cheek ruefully,
but q smile twitched at his mouth.
"She really meant that one!" he
said, half aloud.
Eyes, I think she did," Court said.

vine on the back porch, almost hid
