May, who had heard the ear drive
up, listened from her bed. She vis

heard Illy Xou's key ia tho door.
She thought of getting aa to ask
bar what tho party was like, bat it
was lata,' and she was tired. She
doxed off . . . woke again, much
later, saw the crack of light ia the

switch off the lights.
Sighing a little she got up to turn

She looked up at her sister with
apology and surprise in her veiled

"Just thinking."
Thea for heaven's sake, go to

May tiptoed back to Raymond,

methodically, hanging her clothes
carefully ta tho closet. Then aho
crept into bed, and lay awake the
rest of tho night, staring up at the
eeflinr. -
Ia the morning she was tired-
eyed, but cheerful. She had made
up her mind.

"You must bo craxyl" Ken said.
"No. iust sensible." LUy Lou's
mouth was firm. She spoke without
excitement. Her voice was flat, and
a little tired. . -
"But Lily Loo, why at least cant

They had been riding around aim

Koa was hurt, terribly hurt, and

like barling herself. She eouldnt

They drove, silently, for .what
seemed like hoars to Lily Loa. ,
"Hadat wo better tara back!
she asked finally. ; .
Por answer bo 4rov tho ear to

"But then" Ho eouldnt finish
the sentence. He had her ia his

tight, and she was weakly, almost
tearfully, trying , to draw awav.
"Please, Kea doat oh, it's no use,

"That's just it I can. I love you.

"But LUy Lou"
"Ken, rm not your kind. I cant

While she talked Ken's f see grew
gray and pinched. He seemed to
draw into himself.
"All right. I wont spoil your'Ufe,
Lfly Lou."
He held her hand, so tight that it
hart.
She felt desolate. Wondered how
she had ever thought she could do
this give ' op Ken.'.
"Dont you care? "he asked after
a lone, dreary ailenca
She eouldnt bear the hurt ia his
