He had been sitting on the arm
of her chair, aid now he got up,
moved away, but without his
jaunty swagger. She watched his
tall figure cross the Teranda, die
appear in the shadows down the
path.
- She knew he would not return
And in the overwhelming sense of
loss which rushed upon her. Ere
blamed herself, Ken's high-strong
temperament aba knew ox this;
she should have been on her
guard, not. gone chattering silly
nothings to throw him into one of
the black moods. Ken couldn't
help being the way he was;, he'd
not be an artist if he were differ
ent. It was up those who loved
him to keep away what might
make him unhappy.
As soon as she could she start
ed for home, loitering In a still
aloneness through the lanes, half
noping sne mignt meet Ken some
where, knowing she would not.
She went out of her way to pass
his bungalow, creeping fearfully
and ashamed by the low, sprawl
ing nouse. But it was quite dark
and she felt sure that even If she
were to go la and find him there
it would' do no good.
Eve began to cry then, stum
bling along, feet like lead, hands
little chunks of ice against her
throat. She had lost him all un
knowingly she had stabbed at his
love and now It had died.
And all through the night as
she lay with her face in the pil
low the thought kept beating at
her brain with a deadly endless
rhythm, "He Is gone he is gone."
Heavy-eyed and listless she got
up when she heard Mary's alarm
and helped with the breakfast,
going about mechanically, strug
gling to aet as if nothing had hap
pened lest Jimmy ask Questions in
his kindly, blundering way. There
would be no posing today; Ken
wouldn't want her to pose again;
not ever. But If she stayed here
Mary would be curious. And Ere
felt that if anyone so much as
mentioned Ken's name she would
crumple up and die.
She decided to go for a tramp
in the hills west of Haverford and
perhaps stop by Xory's place on
the way back. Nory never asked
questions ...
Calling good-bye to Mary, she
started out, carrying her hat so
the soft May breeze might ruffle
her hair. coax. some of the ache
from her temples and her heart.
She moved slowly, gaze down, so
she did not see the tall boy stalk
ing along under the lilacs and
syringas; not until his arms had
caught her, swept her hungrily
to his heart did she know that
Ken had come back.
She pressed her face against
him . with a little sob, reaching
her arms about his neck, pulling
his head down swiftly. And he
kept whispering "Little Eto -
little Eve "
"I'm so sorry. Ken so sorry."
"Oh. all my fault I was Jeal
ous. Forgive me, sweetheart
you will"
"Darling Ken . . ."
"I've been miserable, sweet

; AGENT REMOVED
The public service commission
Monday authorised the Southern
Paeific company to eliminate its
station agent at Derry, Polk,
county, with the exception of dur
ing the months of . August and
September, and place the station
in charge of a earetaker. The
caretaker will meet all incoming
tralna and the depot will be open
for the comfort of patrons of th
line. J. B. Nesmith. a resident of
Derry, will act as caretaker.
Railroad officials contended
that receipts of the station were
not sufffcient to meet the expen
ses of the agent.
Sixty persons who signed a
protest against the application -
agreed to try out the new ar
rangement for a period of one
year.
Passenger fares will be paid on
the trains, while freight conduct
ors will handle the weigh bills.
