Anderson asked. Sondra made a gesture ot hopelessness. "I only thought perhaps ... She broke off, and he did not ask what she meant. There was a little frown between Eondra's eyes as they went back to the ballroom. Intimate as she was In some ways with John Anderson he yet always made her feel as if she never really gat anywhere near to him. All she kne wof him was the little he chose she should know the rest remained n unopened book which woman like she longed to read, because It was denied to her. She had been more frank with him tonight than ever before, and yet it had in no way brought them nearer together, snd she found herself half regret ting her Impulsiveness as she walk ed beside him back to the ballroom. What did he really think of her? What did all men really think of women who allowed them to give c SUNDOWN TORIES THE RAINY DAY Re Marc Grahaaa Bftaner It had begun to rain gently while the children were In swimming and It rained harder after they bad come out. They ruslied to old Jonah and thanked him for being such good weather prophet. "We were so tired." Peggy said, "and yet we thought we would have to water our gardens, but you told us to ao swimming and then It rained and we didn't have to do anv watering." "Well," said old Jonah, "I've an Idee that the sky Is so far away that It sometimes feels lonely and If we pay It a bit of attention It lets us Into Its secrets. "I've looked up at the sky a lot and have become familiar with the different clouds and then, too, I see which way the wind's blowing. "Just wet your finger see put it In your mouth, old Jonah ex plained, "and then stick It up In the air and the wind Is coming from the direction where the finger is ooide.it." It rained all that night, a soft rain which helped the grounds at Rlverbank a great deal. The next day it rained and old Jonah said tt would rain all day. "I'm ffaing to arrange all my doll's clothes m the new trunk I got for my birthday. Will you help ie?" Peggy asked Betty. So Betty and Peggy spent the day In Peggy's room of the play house and arranged everything In perfect order. But John was also busy In his room In the playhouse and Freddy and Bill ana old Jonah were help ing him. There were sounds of sawing and hammering, but they wouldn't let the girls Into the secret. them extravagant presents? She looked up at him Impatiently. His face Detrayea noining ueuner iuw, nor disapproval, nor Jealousy per hasps it was because ha was so much older than he that ha had learned to control his feelings so perfectly. If Flora knew of their friendship she never alluded to It, and yet, surely she mutt sometimes wonder, knowing that the ugener ous allowance she gave Sondra would not purchss.se fur coats or hundred dollar frocks. Lite was such an Insincere thing with which peo ple seemed to have entered Into a great conspiracy of pretence. They pretended to like one an other when they did not, they pre tended to believe In one another when they devoutly distrusted they pretended to be happy and gay when all the time they wert pro foundly miserable. "And I am the same," Sondra tod hersef. "So why shoud I Judge the others?" She looked up at the man beside her he too was aways pretending pretending not to love her, when some seventh sense had long ago warned her that he did and yet might she not be deceiving herself even in this? Why should he love her? A man as rich and influential as he was could have loved almost any wom anwas there any reason wny ms choice should have fallen on her? No, there was no reason, any more than there was a reason for her own love for Mark Merriman. People talked so much about free will, and it was such a negUibie quantity when one was faced with the great things of life like a straw tossed whichever way the wind ol circumstance chose to carry It. And yet, wasnt it by her own free will that she had taken this step to re move Merriman from her life? Sondra looked Into her heart and denied that It was, surely she had been forced by the Insecurity of her positoln. She thought suddenly of her sis ter's carelessly spoken words that evening. "It's such a pity John Anderson cant get rid of Evelyn he'd make such a splendid husband for you!" and her own reply: "I don't want him for a husband, thank you." That was not the truth either she never seemed to be free to speak the truth. If Anderson had been a single man she would have married him, always supposing he bad asked her. 6lie looked tip at him again crlt- ically. How amused people would be If they could really understand the relationship between them, if she could tell the world "yes. he gives me everything I want and asks nothing in return he has never even kissed me." Nobody would believe her Flora always declared that men were never disinterested, and Flora un derstood men so well. "John must be the exception that proves the rule," Sondra thought, even as she asked herself If Ander son might not be playing a waiting game and would some day In the near future render his account. Just lately, perhaps Influenced by her love for Merriman, she had not let John know how terribly hard up she really was, and he never asked he always waited until she could summon enough courage to give him some hint. How horrified Mark would be it he knew, and rightly horrified, Judging tram his own standpoint. Sondra had so often heard him ssy tbat he would never buy a thing he was unable to pay for. Well, she would not have had very much of anything If she had allowed a rule of that kind to govern her lire from ehllrlhood she had adopted her iff. ACROSS Flml man BfTomtnatB man or boy: collwj.

"There is something troubling you, Sondra," he said. To her annoyance ready tears sprang to her eyes, even while she shook her head. "Oh, no - He said, Ignoring her words: "If it is money, you know auite well that I" She broke In swiftly. John, why do you? I mean, why should you be so kind to me?
