She went swiftly up the stalra;
she shut the door of her room

Fix tbe studs In my shirt, will you,

Kitty took a dress shirt out of
Gar's buroau. She put in the studs
and spread the shirt out on the bed.
Sbe found a cellar and a tie and
put them beside It. Socks She
was shivering; her whole body felt
cold, numb, her bralu a dead thing.
There was something sbe had to
tell Gar, something she hod to do
She took up the yellow dress, vague
ly aware that It had to do with her
purpose, and waa standing, staring
dumbly down at It when Gri
emerged from the bathroom, nib
blng bis curly hair with a towel.
"That's right. Kit wsar -t

His words, his tone released a
brain from Us numbing weight
She faced him, crushing the ylio
dress in her hands.
"I'm not going to-night, Car."
He saw her face, then. He atae? i
at It, puzzled, frowning a little.
"Not golngT What's the ins

"I'm not going out with yeu any more until you can pay for our pleaeurer"
Kitty told Gar.
part; her ewn tew possessions
seemed scarcely to show. 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?"
