Her father tnld her, when he had the mar rteae annulled, that Dickeu did not attempt to tee her.

For only Iz week did the run away during the summer for a rest on the old ranch with Mrs. Manly; and then back again she tramped to relieve Judy and carry on the shop single handed. The double work was more exciting and sweet than her own vacation. For Judy went to Chicago on hei time off, only to And, to her uttor, thunderstruck amazement, that Tom was making good not as a saxophone player but as a singer. A slngert A crooner they called him, as they handed him three hun dred t week with an option at a bulkier sum! Tom, who bad never lifted his voice In Judy's presence, never even dreamed himself that he could sing, was billed In lights that big as a croonerl Judy wept as she sat at a table to watch and listen to her Tom. Judy spattered tears on the telegram forms as she sent dally, almost hourly, messages of Joy to Hope. Judy choked with tears over the long-distance phone. And when Judy came home (telling nobody but Hope of her successful crooner, who looked so precious standing under the spot light In the grandest tuxedo), she pitched Into work with a new In spiring vigor. And why not, when for the Srst time In four years, she saw a hope of material success for herself and her erstwhile saxophone player! Not one of the townfolk's prophe cies came true. Hope did not tire and give it up as a whim. So little did she lOBe Interest, that In the fall she announced the decision to open a shop on Madison Avenue, New York. Delighted that she had found some serious interest. Papa Ross gladly offered to supply the money; and perhaps Hope never felt a keener thrill than when she refused It, and announced that she and Judy could run the business without extra belp. The shops were fun I They were successful, and success brings vital and heady thrill. Hope tea Interested, she did enjoy the work. and she did relish the knowledge of her ability. She and Judy were mak ing money. Judy was on the verge of throwing Frisky into the arms of the cborus girl he really wanted. And best of all, Hope would soon be twenty-one, and come Into her grandmother's Inheritance of live hundred a week until she was thirty-five, and then one half-million dollars outright. Lite was gradually meaning something Independence! . The fact that her New York shop and Dickey Dale's musical comedy opened on the same date that autumn, seemed like a good omen to her. Terribly she wanted to lend a telegram of congratulation to Dlckoyl Terribly she wondered It he bad heard of her buslnoss or knew of her doings. Quite calm and radiant; she at tended Dickey's opening that night with Rusty Crandall by her side. Attended it and dusted out the last obscure corners of the theater with her keenest glances tor some sight of Dickey or Hlckey! Want home and erled herself to sleep because be hadn't seen eight ot them, be cause the show was so beautiful, and because It meant Dickey would have a brilliant start with his ca reer. (Oh, please do write a play, Dickey, because they make so much money. . . .") But shortly after Christmas came the crash to all her hard-earned poise. Just one little Item In a newspaper! Just a paragraph no bit ter than Bessy's forehead Just a few black words announcing the engagement ot one Eileen Argyle to Richard J. Hlckson Dale! One clipping that was not torn out of the newtnper, slobbered with paste, and placed Into a One blue leather scrapboosl One clipping that meant the end ot all that had already been ended years ago. . . No need ot keeping the clipping, for every word was turned Into her thoughts, to haunt her waking ot Bleeping. But Hope didn't cry She didn't even feel like crying. She went down to her New York shop and sent out bloomers without dresses, eight-ounce bottle Instead of booties, and confused the entire day's sales with calm and thought ful Inaccuracy. All the long spring months she plodded through her work and her play. Conscious ot only one ctase- ALSO TAKE CASH 8AM FRANCISCO, Msrch 31.

Dickey loved someone else, and held her close, and kissed her. ... A good girl no doubt, who didn't get Into scandals, who wasn't an outrageous flirt. And who waa she? Did she have lots ot money, or didn't Dickey care so much these days about Inheritances? It only she could let him know about her Inheritance that was soon to come and set her free. She wonld have no pride about 1L But maybe with a hit show he didn't care about money now. . . . Probably he didn't have to care so much. And did he ever tell Eileen about her? How did he explain It that Queer marriage and what did he say in describing Hope? Quiet, calm, subdued, Hope ab sorbed all that went on about her. Judy's happy engagement to the coy she truly loved: Tom Post come Into hi own at last a hit on the radio as a crooner at seven hun dred a week. And Frisky really re lieved that he waa through. Betty married In May. And Flora Rlordaa In June. . . . Everyone falling in love, getting engaged, planning for marriage, . , . And so, merely because ot the vacuous pain In her lonely heart, and because of the realization of one true and remaining devotion that should not lightly be discarded, Hope herself said "yes" one night In June. Yes, she promised Rusty Crandall, and felt like crying at the all-embracing fever ot Joy and stut tering plans of his faithful, dog-like devotion. Sat beside Rusty and watched his face light up as be talked so tenderly, remembering how she had watched him grow from knee pants Into manhood, and wondering why she could not care for him any more than she did. Wondering why she couldn't feel stirred at the thoughts of a home for herself as be planned It at the fact that someone was elaborately scheming for her happiness, even though he knew she didn't love blml Yes, he knew be knew Dickey was still a husky ghost in her mind but It didn't matter. He would win her love. . . . Home, they told of their engage ment to their parents and a few of their friends, but Hope Insisted that they should not announce it publicly for a while. She preferred, she explained, to be married In the late fall and go to Venice for their honeymoon. With Christmas In Rome, and New Year's In Paris. Rusty bowed to her wishes as long as she would wear his ring at least on a thin chain, with the ring under her gown. And wide- eyed In bed, she wondered why she didn't want to announce her engagement publicly Rusty was the salt ot the earth and a man one could lately trust one's lifetime to. Why did she want a marriage In the autumn with Venice, and Christmas In Roms whvt Wai she waiting tor her grandmother's Inheritance that would come so soon now? No. What difference did the money make? Was she still un able to give up Dickey? Still unable to forgot him, when obviously he had forgotten her completely? Or did she just wnnt time to get over the final hurt? That was It. The ache In her heart. The dull sonse of futility. She needed time. . . . How aould Hope know as she stared out her window till the stara faded, and the sky became a dull, despairing gray, that hung heavy over the earth until the soft colors of early morning sifted through to cheer the world how could she know that another girl, only two miles from her, on the other side of the track, was soak ing her pillow with heavy tears, and tossing fitfully aa she beat the mattress with crunched fists all because she had heard ot Rusty1 engagement? Rusty's father had told Angel In the office that afternoon, his eye lighted, a complacent smile on his Hp a h asked her not to tell any one yet, How she had hated the Senior Crandall at that moment! Oh yea, she was Ms secretary now the aocrotary to the boss ot the whole works secretary to God tor seventy-five a week. That'a how he had mad good la business. Unlucky In love. ... It only she and her mother didn't need the money, and sh eonld resign.
