- "But of course he'll have to give
hk consent, she said sharply. "Alt-
tr all. what can he offer her to
compare with what shell have as
my daughter?"
Felicity looked at her curiously.
"But Susan. you'U marry again"
"Never," said Susan grimly. "Be
cause the only man I want, I can't
Jiave."
"la It Mr. Thorpe?" she asked
- "Yea, darn him," Susan answered
hotly.
Garrett and Chalmers Thorpe
were standing at the foot of the
stairs waiting lor mem. Felicity
caught the light that sprang Into
Thorpe's eyes as he saw Susan, and
aw the caressing gesture with
which he took her hand and drew
it through his arm aa they turned
towards the drawing room.
"How's Tippy?" asked Garrett as
he took Felicity In his arms and
they began to dance.
"All right, I suppose," answered
Felicity almost reluctantly. "Though
It semed to me she was a little
well, over-excited and flushed. Her
face felt hot."
"Look, Oran'ma, how'd It be If
you got rid of that furrowed brow
and remembered that you are a
mere twenty-three years old?"
Felicity smiled up at him. "I
think It would be pretty wonder
ful!" His aims tightened about her
and his voice was a little husky
when he whispered, 'So do 1
darling so do I."
Dawn was breaking in the east
when Garrett and Felicity drove
back across the bridge to the trail'
er camp. At the sound of their
car Ma Green's cottage door opened
and she beckoned to them.
"You two might just as well
have some breakfast with me," she
greeted them hospitably. "I'm not
ashamed to admit I've been watch
ing for you. What was the party
like? Did you have a good time?"
Felicity helped her set the table
while Garrett straddled a chair.
and gave the delighted and appre
ciative Ma Green an amusing ac
count of the festivities.
. Felicity lingered to help clear the
, table. But Ma Green pushed her
Into a chair and said sternly, "You
alt down there. Felicity. I want to
talk to you. Have you thought any
about what you're going to do, now
that your father is here?"
Felicity shook her head. "No I
haven't. I don't know how long he
plans to stay."
"From what he said after vou
and Garry left, it looks to me like
he plans to stay on quite a spell,
said Ma Green a trifle tartly.
Felicity stiffened In quick defense
oi ner lamer.
"There's no room for him in that
trailer of yours," said the woman
Irmly.
Felicity had been thinking of the
ame thing,
"Now. I've been thinking," Ma
Oreen went on after a moment
Tve got plenty of room here. I
could rent him a room "
"But we couldn't pay you any
thing much."
"And he could earn the rent of
the room bv doing odd Jobs about
the place," Ma Green finished, as
though Felicity hadn't spoken.
Odd Jobs! Felicity caught her
breath. She opened her mouth to
otier a proiest, put oerore she could
peak a voice spoke from the open
doorway.
"That's a most kind and gener
ous offer, Madame," said Father a
trifle grandly, "and I shall be very
happy to accept It."
Ma Green studied him coolly, heri
gTaying head a little on one side
her eyes shrewd and not unkind1
' behind her steel-rimmed spectacle
"Maybe you ain't as bad as I've
, been thinking, after all." she said
And my name ain't Madsme It's

always calls me."
And so It was settled between
Burton Home and Ma Oreen, while
Felicity looked on, not quite sure

Then he said briskly. "You get

He went out and shut the door

of a small tear as she slid out oil
the crumpled hoop-skirted frock I
and tucked herself ud lor a nap.
It was late afternoon when Fe
licity heard Garrett's car.
She stepped out Into the golden
sunset and I lung up a nana in a
gay salute. But even before she
reached the side of Garrett's car
there was something about the set
of his Jaw that told her something
unpleasant had happened.
"Why. Garry, wnat "
He indicated a soiled-looking
package that lay on the seat be
side him. "They didn't nice it.
"Oh. Garry darling!" Felicity
put her arms about him, her cheek I
against his shoulder. "Don't feel
so badly. There are other publish-,
en. Just think, about twenty pub
lishers turned down The Good
Earth. Somebody will snap this)
up."
"Maybe, said Garrett, so deep
in gloom that he wasn t ame yen
to make the slightest effort to lift
himself out of the pit. "But In
the meantime, what about you and I
me? I'd counted on the book being
taken and then we were going to
be married."
"I know, dearest. I know" said
Felicity. Garrett's arm went about
her, holding her hard against html
as he kissed her. "But something
will turn up," she rcrsaured him.
"It It lust has to!"
They clung together there In the

For a few days Oarrett moped I

spirits up. At last sne naa man

cook on to a weu-icnown agent in
New York. For Felicity had reas
oned that the agent could cushion
the shocks or disappointment thati
repeated rejections ot the book i
would mean.
She wanted him to start a new
book, but she knew the time wasn't
ripe for that. And so she encour-l

for there was a steady demand fori

Jason was earning several dollars I

his dark mood lifted, and Felicity I

consider starting another book.
And when Oarrett made a trip to I
the pos tor rice and came back look
ing blacker than ever and with
a package under his arm that Fe
licity recognized, her heart sank
Into her very boots.
Felicity looked down at the letter
from the agent. It was curt to the I
point of insolence. According to
the letter, the agent had leit that
the story was clumsily written, that
It lacked dramatic value, that the!
characters did not "come to life."
and that there was so little to I

Felicity said after a moment.
