a glimpse of Randy's face as she
made some laughing response.
Mrs. Gordon frowned. The girl
was really pretty-probably
communicating If you saw her
close, but at that distance she
was decidedly pretty.
Randy Monaghan certainly
looked frank and-happy. And
she was certainly out in the open
with whatever it was she was
about. The girl surely couldn't
be setting her cap for Drake Nc
Hugh. That kind of girl to
marry into the Union street
crowd-for, no matter how you
looked at it, Drake McHugh be-
longed to that crowd and, more
over, he'd have money. She had
to admit she rather liked Drake.
But it had been necessary to
teach him a lesson. He must
know he couldn't come around
Louise and be seen with trashy
people at the same time.
There was another person who
had noticed Drake and Randy.
That was Louise herself. She
had been standing at the open
window directly above her
mothers sitting room. She drew
back little when the buggy
passed, but she, too, had seen the
look on Randy Monaghans face,
and had heard the soft, content
ed laugh that floated back.
Louise, like all of Kings Row,
felt that this affair with Randy
was different 1t was quite pos
sible that Drake might want to
marry Randy. And, of course,
Randy Monaghan would Jump at
the chance to marry Drake: Who
wouldn't? Heaven knows she
wanted him herself. More than
ever now. If only she had some
way OF calling him back. Shed

didn't even have that chance
now. He never even looked her
way any more. She had written
to him, but ne had not answered.
She thought of Paris Mitch

believed she'd try to get him TO

He hardly noticed the old nick

We'll, well, old Benny work

Benny. The Colonel might come

Jail" Fulmer laughed, and Ben
ny laughed, too. But later in
the day when he thought of 1t,
he didn't like Fulmer saying
anything about Jail. 1t was Full
mer Green's fault that he got
put in Jail one time, and it was
Colonel Skeffington who got
him out. Vaguely he felt a
troubling sense of old, old in
juries and sights. He had al
most forgotten the feeling. Ev-
erything had been so pleasant
out at the Won Elm place. Tom
Carr never did anything to make
him feel awkward or ashamed.
Fulmer, somehow or another,
made him feel q little ashamed.
Often Drake Ntzhugh, drove
out of toWn--SometimeS out Fed
eral street, sometimes out the
asylum road, sometimes by a less
frequented way--always with
Randy Monaghan beside him.
The town talked. Drake Nc
Hugh, after all, came from nice
people" He belonged TO the
best.
Everyone saw how the Cor
dons handled the question when
Drake looked in the direction of
Louise. That little slap in the
face should have taught Drake
McHugh something Of lesson.
For a while il looked as though
IL really had. But now il was
this Monaghan girl from the low
or end of town. Railroad pco-
pie. The menfolks said old MIR.
Monaghan was a straight, hon
est, self-respecting man. He d
probably take shotgun TO any
one who fooled around his girl.
One afternoon Drake and Ran

a conspicuous clip.

her crocheting, saw them.

look Randy's talk had brought

He shrugged his shoulders in a

he could back the way he had

She sat down on the edge of
the bed and hunched her thin
shoulders as she braced herself
against tears.
Downstairs Mrs. Gordon had a
sudden intuition. She went
quietly to Louise's room and
opened the door. Louise was
crying now.

Louise did not turn. She
