She bathed, running the water to al most scalding heat, yet so hot was he still with anger tbst she felt It cool. She dressed, her fingers mov ing mechanically. Before her mirror she suddenly put down her brush. Why, that girl facing her wasn't Kitty Brandon! She gave a short halt-laugh. Her chin It was funny thrust outl And then she remembered what David had said about her chin, other things David had said. "It you have a, chance" And now she had her chance, right In her hand. Sho and Oar could go to a hotel tor to-night and to-morrow they'd And a furnished apartment, a home secure from that woman's scheming. She put on the dress she had trav eled In, coming to Wlnton. She dragged her suitcase out from the depths of Gar's clothes' closet and 1egan to pack her clothes In It, a Jlttle heedlessly. Sho had Just tak en the new yellow chiffon from Ha hook when she heard Gar's step on the stairs outside. She dropped It to open the door. "Gar!" She clung to him. Ob, he vras so big. so dear. Gar, It's so goott to feel you I" Then she straightened a little away to look lip at him. She kept tight hold of his hand as she drew blm Into the room, "Now tell me 11 about It!" "It's going to be great. Kit. Decker caught Marge's Idess right oft. We're going to keep the barn effect, the ratters and things" "But, Gar, I mean your father! What did he say about the job!" Gar was tsklng off his coat. He did not notice the pleading on Kit ty's face. "Oh, that." he answored' easily. "I didn't see Dad. I talked It over with the Mother, and she advised against IL She thinks I ought to stick around home this winter and give my time to this new theater venture. We're fixed comfortably, and It tsn't as If Dsd couldn't afford to keep us. Say we've got to get dressed, KIL The Gar's frown deepened. "Oh, lord, are you going to begin that old song? Well, you can't mind If 1 go without you." "I can't mind It as much as the humiliation of going with you and knowing that your mother is buy ing you I" But Gar did not hesr that His angry glance had gone to the halt packed suitcase. "What's thisT Going back to the chickens and the plgsT Well, re member me to them and to Aunt Je mima and Uncle Joshua" He lookeo so like an angry, spoiled boy, his hair rough, his sus penders bsnglng, his Angers tum bling, with h's collar, that a part ot Kitty wanted to laugh, to manage the unruly collar button, :o smooth his hair, to kiss away the dark scowl. But she did not move. She dropped the yellow dress she had been crushing In her a.ms to the floor. "I am not going to slay In thla house another night. When you are roady to support a home I'll some back to you." Again she felt that surprise at the coolness with which she could answer. "You will, will your That's kind." Gar waa savagely dragging on hla clothea. He turned his back to Kitty. She scarcely stirred until he had finished dressing and had gone out, slamming the door behind him. She had no feeling ot hurt -r heartache, only her driving need f escape. She finished packing her clothes. She shut the bag and put on her hat and coat and gloves. She took up her purse then she looked at It In dismay. She had only ten dollars. That was not enough to take her home. though not until Gar had spoken of it had she thought of going home. David He'd help her, of course. She went to the telephone. "Park, 803." Strange that she remembered It! And when his voice came over the wire: "David, can I see you a' once?"
