It was all very dreamy, very romantic, there -was the tirelUtht dancing over the room, picking oat bits of . biVS and crystal, striking gleams from polished mahogany. And - presently the Hollya said good night bar, Ken neth. and the girl remained, as he told her, all quite as It should be la the lane. She stirred after a time, said ae mast go. But he begged lor another half hour. 'Aren't you feappy here? Don't you like this. Eve? Don't you like me?" "Yes to all three. $nly "You're in The Lane now, weet child. Wait till Ken stirs the fire." He put another knot on the eni liers, same back and gathered her In hj3 arms, running his lingers orer her cheek, bending to kiss her. And she- sat there watching the fire. A marvelous night a marvelous boy this Ken. Only one could be so drfcwsy ... Room and firelight and even Ken all mixed up together, getting nwiy from "one in a blurry mist. Drowsy . ; . so drowsy . . .- Eve awakened solwly. The-long lishes trembled upon her cheeks, rose heavjlv still weighted with sleep, rem bled and fell again. She yarned, dug a fist at her eyes, sat up and now the lashes lifted and remained so. r.ut her eyes were fogged by dreams She saw a strange room, si crate in which the fire had died. Where was she? How in the world had the got here! Not a sound anywhere and the windows were gray patches of dawn.. Bewildered and a little fright ened, she tamed her head and then both hands flew to her mouth, choking back a scream. A man here beside her fast asleep! With his head fallen over sidewise -why, his arm, was around her she must have been here a very long time ... in his arms . . . She remembered then. Yester day she nearly fell from the train and he pulled her back to safety. And the walk up the mountain pass, through five miles of coun try lanes under blossoming trees and sweet springtime sars. He had kissed her brought her here and she had fallen asleep, drowsy after the long tramp How boyish he loked with his tall fig ure slouched a little on the settle and ho whancUome . . . dark and handsome. But his nearness brought her no thrill now, only a sudden hot shame that rushed upon her in sickening waves, burned her face, stung her eyes. She had meant to go on half dbzen times she had been at the point of leaving and he ha.d begged her to stay. Just a little while, just a half hour. - And- then. he had fallen asleep. What would the unclea say if they knew? What would Mary Stewart, who had expected her last night, think? What would he think of her, this Kenneth Wilmer? But of course she never could face him agate! WJ And sow panic seised her. Sup posing he awakened? Bad enough that he should hare last nlgtrt to remember how she crept Into am arms. But If he opened his eyes rw, saw that so was -aer still -oh. get away, harry and get awayr Before the Holly earn down and took aer for somethlar other than Jnst a hopeless silly! Morlng slowing1 with the stealth of a little cat. she lifted his arm. placed It along the cushions, slipped forward to (he edge of the wide settee. Once he stirred, say ing something In the broken way of the deep sleeper, and she held her breath. But Ere was on her feet at last and now she must waste precious seconds while she garre him a long look, fixing his face In her mem ory. Eyes set wide apart how dark and fall of light they had been last nlghtl and little lines Of htnwe at Us aeauth.

And this seemed strange far she felt some way that she had known, J him a -very long time Indeed- longer than ant had known Mary Stewart or even the uncles. He stirred again and in a flurry of dread the girl tiptoed away, waiting In the little reception hall to peer and listen. Bat so soand came from anywhere and so she found her. hat and the tweed coat, and the next minute was speed ing down the tons path to the wicket gate while the house be hind her slept. Ere bad only a vague idea as to the location ot the farm to which Mary Stewart had come as a bride six months ago. It was beyond The Lane for Vary had mentioned this artist colony tn her letters! accordingly Eve set out toward th west, - and only Xter she sad climbed a hill and crossed a valley and rounded a bend fh the read did she stop to smooth the knitted biege Jacket and ekirt free 6f creases and dab powder at her nose with her van tty ease propped against the toe rail of a crazy old log fence. And all the time her thoughts kept milling, asking uestaft de manding answers she could hot give. She had let him kiss her, this Kenneth Wilmer gorgeous thing that he was. She had let him kiss her and hold her in his arms that whs sweet almost within, the hour of their meeting. Why? How could he suddenly become so different from the Eve Reads she had known all her life? The Ere who hated the very sugges tion of cheapness and who would give Roger lulls, whom at least three "of the ancles expected her to marry some day, only the most gingerly ot kisses when he left her after parties and his regular 8unday night visits. Not that Roger expected anything else . . . Cheap . . . Bat had this been that? Somehow she could not feel it sho. The thoaght lot Kenneth went through her like golden light, flooding her heart, ttllinr the early moratag with glory. Coal It beshe taagnt hot breath at this hat she was ta lore? Bat that would be sad oh, a tragic thing when she knew she must never see him again. After last night never again. Oh, she had been a fetal! Blinded by sadden tears she harried on. And after A time a milk truck came rattling along and Eve hailed the driver and asked her way. He was going right by the Stewart farm did she want to ride f Weil, stej Uva ly; he had to get along. Eva stepped, glad this taciturn farm youth asked ne questions. And when he put her down and pointed to an old fashioned farm house a quarter of a mile from the main highway she felt that things were not going so badly. If only she eonld think of seme rea sonable explanation to give Mary. But little Mrs. Stewart ' was more concerned with broiling bacon and coaxing toast to a gold en crispness than with the exact time and manner ot her friend's arrival.
