Ginger uotlded her head ne.vously.
Her eyes glistened with tears that she
held 'n check.
In a short while they were all gone
and she was alone again with Eddy.
The house was very stilt. She stood
to the center ot the room and stared

"Oh, Eddy Wasnt I Dumb?"
blackly Into spate, stared and stared.
Suddenly great storm welled In ber
breast. The pain of It scorched her
throat, tortured her eyes. She threw
herself among the cushions In cor

though her heart would break.

shaken with ber s-bs, while Eddy
stood awkwardly before ber, sadly
watching. After a while, unnoticed,
he sank down beside ber, and waited
for the passion of ber emotion to
spend Itself, and at last, unobtrusive

pressure drawing her from the shabby
silken cushions to bis Shoulder.
"Hunt cry. Ginger. It Isn't so bad.
They'll fii It op all right, and do one

Ginger was not to be comforted.
Her beautiful dream was dead nay,

by coarse hands, crushed by heavy
heel. All that she had hoped for,
planned for, worked for, bad come to
naught,
"It was so beautiful," she sobbed,
it was Just beuutlful while It lusted.
And now It Is only ridiculous,"
"Oh, no, Ginger. Nothing can be

wisely.
She squirmed uncomfortably. "Oh,

I was pretty stuck on myself for doing
It, Just the same. I was awfully

"Well, It wus smart In way," he

"Well, I wasn't at all sura It was

But I told myself thut such a good

In wonder. Eddy did not flinch be

Firmly he patted away (he last of

before ber very eyes, he leaned
toward her, kissed her again. She did
not protest When he released her,
she lay limply In his arm, her face
close to his face, and stared as one
spellbound that old. familiar face,
which seemed suddenly very new and
strange beautiful to ber.
"Like me. Ginger?" he asked gently.
Ginger's answer was a startled Jerky

ITHE END
Bees of Owner's Death
of bees, and the custom of telling
the bees Is very likely almost as old
as bee-keeping. It has all the ap
pearance of a rite which originated
In very early times, and the fact that
It still survives Is a touching proof
thul we est III cling, In some things at
least, to the wisdom or folly of our
ancestors.
