I do not mind that she does not ay 'Mama any more because I can make-believe any number of talks she has with i me. It's more fun. "I feel all upset i that you have the mumps. I'm a f r a 1 d you got them from me. That was my first day out when you met me and I i h o u 1 d n 't have gone so far as I wasn't really quite well, or able to play wlUi otner children. I shouldn't have kissed your silky ears. "I hope you get over your mumps toon. I am sending you a present. It Is a little, soft shawl to wrap around your neck. It will ktep you warm while you have the mumps and I'm putting my favorite ball a blue one inside and you can play with It when you're all well again. "Katrina la well and enjoyed fly ing over here under the crow's wing. She says she never expected to have a flying trip when she was so young. "When you re all well, please walk over here with Willy Nilly and tell be all about my doll's other adven tures. Sometimes she becomes sleepy or as though she has a secret when Z ask her all that happened when the was away. "I do hope you will be well soon, and plea.se thank the crow for bringing my doll to me. With love and a pat for your head. "Your friend. Ka trlna-t he-doll 's-mothcr-Katrina." "Now I know how you caught the I mumps. said Willy Nilly. "We ll tell Christopher, too. That crow has been so worried he hasn't been natural." Tomorrow: Mrs. Quacko Visits. moment's notice? If her salary stop ped, so would Ray's college fund. So would these new comforts for her father and mother. Had she a right to run away from her re ' sponsibllitles? Sally went home In a dream. If she had been less absorbed in her own thoughts, she would have no ticed Tip's flaring color and watch ful eyes noticed how Tip jumped when the telephone rang and how Tip sprang up and ran out of the room when she heard Terry's step in the hallway. The family gathered about Terry when he came congratulating him. Tip was nowhere to be seen. When Terry finally turned to Sally, she had scarcely spoken to him. "Ready to go, Sally?" "Ill get my coat," said Sally. As she left the room, she felt the eyes of her father and mother and Ray on her. They were thinking Uiat Terry meant to ask her to marry him, and wondering what Sally meant to do. Sally was taking her coat from the hanger when Tip came into her room and shut the door behind her. "Sally, what are you going to do?" Tip's voice, so quiet and yet so desperate, made Sally turn toward her Instantly. She was shocked at , the suffering that showed Itself in her young sister's Jace. Tip's eyes were red with crying, her face pale and strained. "You know I'm going out to din ner with Terry," said Sally gently. "Surely you don't grudge me that." "I do," said Tip. clasping her tightly together. "I hate you every minute you're with him." Her voice rose hysterically. "Don't try to pre tend you know you're going to tell him tonight that you'll marry him and go away with him I" Sally felt a sick shame that she and Tip should be reduced to quar reling over Terry. It somehow cheapened her love for Terry. Sally was seized with a bitter resentment against Hp that crowded out all So Puffy and Johnny get ready to They'll lake lots of time for It seems there's no hurry. The robbers cant leave while the ship b at sea, And there It will stay till Puff lo cate all three. other emotions. Tip was spoiled. She wanted Terry as she had want ed a dozen other men, and. because she had been able to win the others, she thought she could get Terry by pouting. "Be quiet ! Sally ordered sternly. "You're behaving like a child. You don't know what love Is. You want your own way and when you can't have It you always make a row. "That's what you think," cried Tip. "But you don't know you don't try to understand. Terry's not not Just somebody to play around with. He's the one person I've ever loved and if you take him, I'll nev- er love anybody else. I know." Tip's voice broke. She sat down on the edge of Sally's bed and wept softly, hopelessly. Sally sat down beside her and took one of Tip's hands In hers. "Tip." she said, "don't you know that Terry has asked me to marry him. that he loves me and wants me to be his wife? Haven't you any pride left at all, that you can run after a man who doesnt want you? Tip shook off Sally's hand and faced her with burning eyes. "But he does love me!" she cried, and her words had the sting of .sin cerity. "If you .weren't blind as a bat you'd know he loves me that I'm the right one for him, not you, Only he likes and respects you, and he'll never tell you. He'll marry you, because you want it and I can t bear it, I can't!" Tip's head went down on the bed again, but this time Sally did not touch her. All Sally's reason fled as bright hot anger possessed her. "Stop thatl" she cried. "You're a selfish, hateful girl and If any one ever marries you, he'll be ashamed of you as I am!" 'Then it's time I was getting out of this place." said Tip dully. "It's time you got out and tried to find yourself a job. If you work ed and did your share for the fam ily you wouldn't have time to worry about how many men you can add to your string of conquests. Well, you can't add Terry. He's mine." Tip stared at Sally, shocked out of her own grief. Sally relentlessly poured out the accumulated resent ment of years of giving up to Tip. "You're not worth all we've sac rificed for you." said Sally. "You're not worth Mother's slaving over your pretty clothes, or my furnish ing your pocket money. You're not worthy of Terry Maynard's love, and I hope he'll never be blind enough, stupid enough to care for you." "Stop. Sally." Tip said quietly, standing up. She looked her older sister steadily In the eyes. She had a strange new dignity, and Sally's wrath subsided as suddenly as it had ri--n, leaving her sick and ashamed. "Go on away with Terry." Tip said. "You're right. I'm not good enoueh for him. Just not good enough." "I'm sorry." Sally meant It. "Don't be- -sorry." answered Tip. "It's the truth. I've been a silly flirt. Only, give me credit, this time I know what It is to love some body enough to feel I'm not good enough for him." "You only think you love Terry," said Sally. "Tomorrow it will be Joe Morris or someone else." She caught up her coat and left Uie room.

Sally was glad that Terry did not talk to her until they were out of town and welt on the road to the Barn. When he did speak, he was matter-of-fact and reassuring. "Hope the news that my big Job came through wasn't too much of a shock. I meant to save It and tell you tonight, but Mom let it out to the newspaper. She couldnt wait." "Your family's proud of you, isnt it? Mine's proud of you." "They were afraid I'd never get a Job," grinned Terry. "They're still surprised that I can really do any thing anybody's willing to pay for. They think I'm being overpaid for this new job." "You've earned It- every bit of it." The lights of the little roadside inn loomed ahead of them. They parked the car beside several oth ers and went in, to find the little stalls of the Barn nearly full of people having supper. Later there would be a small string orchestra and everyone would dance. Sally nad Terry ordered supper and while they ate talked of every thing but themselves. Terry, who had at first been his old gay, self, full of exuberance over the new Job. grew silent and moody as they neared the end of their supper. Sally, over the coffee, said: "Shall we talk about us?" "You've made up your mind, then?" Terry asked quickly. "Not exactly." Sally tried to read his expression. She must go care fully, remembering everything that Tip had said. "What do you mean?" Terry frowned. There's no more hesita ting, Sally. The time's too short. Either you love me enough to marry me and go away with me now or you dont." "There's something else besides that," said Sally. "There's Tip." "You know," Terry was Immense ly relieved, "I told her you would. I told her somehow you'd be able to figure out it If you knew." "Tip thinks she loves you." "God knows why," said Terry. "I can't make it out how she could fall for me, stacking me up against all the fellows she's got on her string." "That's not so difficult to under stand." said Sally, and a trace of hardness got Into her voice. "Per haps It's just that you havent been on her string. Tip always wants what she can't get." "Do you believe that. Sally?" Ter ry searched her face with anxious eyes. "That's what I've been trying to tell myself all along it would make tilings easier. Do you really believe that. Sally," Sally was bitterly tempted to say yes. If she did. if she told Terry that Tip was Incapable of liking anyone for very long, then Terry might believe her. After all, she and Terry had been fond of each other for a long time. If he believed him self to be falling in love with Tip now. It waa because Tip had been running after him, had flattered him. Sally fought down the Im pulse to dismiss Tip's love as pure Infatuation. She must be fair, above all. "If if I could believe that Tip's only flirting." Terry repeated. "It would make the whole thing easier." "I don't know." said Sally slowly, picking her words. "It's true that Tip never has been so much in ear nest about anyone as she was to night about you. Maybe she loves you. Maybe she'll get over It and fall In love with Joe or some of the others. I can't answer for that. I haven't the right. It seems to me that what you have to consider Is what you feel for Tip." 'Now It was out. She was giving him. his chance, to get out of their engagement, just as she had known she would ever since Tip had spoken. (To be continued) ANSWERS to QUESTIONS Q.
