One night he came in his big

Owen Keegan. the central figure
in the drama, is a character that
might have been written by the
playwright with Moroni Olsen In
mind as the actor to create the
character on the stage. Keegan
is the clean, strong, vigorous
product of the Irish soil, proud of
his great strength and virility
which makes him, even in his late
middle age the equal of the young
er men of the community in feats
of strength and skill and leader

charming turns of Irish dialect
and the simple beauty of prim

self through the three acts with
the beauty and balance of a poem.

"I haven't changed a particle"
Betty defended, spiritedly. "But
since I have been dancing dozens
of boys want to make engagements
with me who never noticed me be
fore." "Don't you know that girls
who dance in public are supposed
to be naughty, and that naughty
firls appear most to men?"
"I don't want to be thought
naughty, whatever that means."
"The word means different
things to different people." H
laughed as he spoke.
"What does It mean to you?"
she demanded.
"You'd be surprised!"
"Then surprise me. I want to
know."
"Wonder If it would surprise
you if I kissed yau? I'm going
to!"
"No!" She pushed him away.
"I want to know Just how you
think of me."
"Ah! She wants to know that
my intentions are honorable!" He
laughed again. "Aw. Betty, don't
be a crab! It's a nice night, with
a pretty moon I arranged espe
cially for you. We're out in the
country with nobody but the crick
ets, and you want to talk about
serious things. Forget it and be
happy!"
He reached over to put his arm
around her, drawing her closer
to him. She pulled away at first,
then yielded herself to his .arms.
He kissed her gently and laid his
cheek against hers. She snuggled
happily into his collar, feeling
that perhaps he was right; happi
ness for the moment was the only
thing worth considering.
He turned her face up to the
moon and kissed her again, a long
passionate kiss, to which she re
sponded with warmth. She felt his
other hand drop to her knee. This
startled her for the moment, but
It seemed an accident." As he kiss

'Vmi ha a very pretty an dvery

She realized he would laugh
this off. Just as he had. the fact
that he was too tight to take her
home from the fraternity party.
She resented it. but felt helpless.
It was difficult to stay angry with
him.-..
"Oh. well, let's go home," she
