She said It slowly, In I low tone. "Of course. You're young. You'll And a real man, some time" She put out her hands as If to push him out ot her sight. The blood rushed to her face In a hot flood. Bright angry tears tilled her eyes. "Don't say that to me, Darld! Don't! You're spoiled ererythlni. I've thought you were so kind, that you wanted me to be happy, I've felt so grateful. And you can dare atund there and say that! Oh, It's that you don't know what It Is to lore anyone as I lore Gar I" She turned away from blm and walked swiftly, a little blindly, toward the , door. ...... , He reached It before her. He ' took her shoulders and gently wheeled her about. "Forget that I said It, Kitty. : I'm a fooll It's that I care a great deal ab,out your being happy. Smile, Kitty," be Implored. ' "You mean dlvoroe hli She smiled up at him, .a con tained, reproving little smile. "You can be so nice when you want to be, Darld, and then you can be so perfectly horrid!" It was as near a truce as she would make; he bad to accept It. There was no lettor for her on the bottom step of the stairs the next night when she came home. Nor the next. A week passed, days of Intolerable waiting, hoping, and . then another week when the Icouldu't hope. : She avoided Dorcas, the little .Igatherlngs around Dorcas' Are. She .avoided Darld. Darld thought her a fool. Well, perhaps she was At Stratton's she worked with desperate eagerness, because so working she could crowd her wretchedness out ot her mind. Miss Lee bad commended ber more than ones, out ot hearing of the others. It was Miss Lee's policy to give , men customers very alert attention when they came Into the depart ment One afternoon, an hour he fore closing rhne, a man came around the mahogany partition that divided the sportswear department from the coats and dresses. Kitty was putting blouses In their tissue paper cases. ' "Miss Brandon!" Miss Lee sig naled. . And Kitty, lifting . her head, looked straight Into Tubby Wllktns' amazed face. "Kit!" He used Gar's name for ber. v "Can I help your She said It . mechanically, without knowing that she said It . Her knees shook, her Angers clutched the satin ot the blouse she was holding. Tubby was staring, his eyes round. "8ay, you ore Kitty, aren't you?" He lowered bis roles. "Yes, I am." And then Kitty laughed. She laughed because It was pood to see Tubby's frlsndly plump face, and because he looked ao ridiculously unbelieving. Tubby turned his head to right and left. Then he leaned across the counter. "What's the big Idea, Kitty? Are you here Incog? Oar said you were In Brldgewater." "He did. did he?" Kilty smoothed the blouse she had rumpled. She put It Into Its paper case. "Well, I'm not What con I show you, Tubby?" Kor Miss Lee was dsn' tvrously near them. E INE DEAL RULED OUT DALLAS, Or., Mat 4.

Oh, I're got to get a birthday present for my kid sister a leather coat" The leather coats were In a far corner. Kitty led him that way. "Is Is Oar back?" She didn't want to ask Tubby that, to expose her hurt and hor heartache but her lips framed the question Instantly against her will. . She saw the puzzlement grow In Tubby's face. "Back? Sure, Oar's back. But, Kitty, what's up? You haven't quit blm, hare your "I'm waiting until Gar can sup port me." She did sot look at Tubby. She was reaching for other coats. "That's darn funny," Tabby mut tered. "Why Is It funny? I didn't mar ry Oar to lire on his mother." Then she wished she had not said It, to Tubby. She bit her lip. "Now, please, It you want one of these coats, select one or I'll hare Miss. Lee down on my head." "That's talking. Olre me the pink one or Is It red? "But, wait, see here. Kit Kitty had mored to go away. She turned a pleading face to him. . "Please, Tubby." m?" Kitty said slowly. "All I was goln' to say Is that I'm knocked flat, flndln' you here. But won't you have dinner with me or something?". "Maybe some time." A little louder; "I think you will like this coat, Thanks." She escaped him, then, Gar was In Wlnton. He wns spending his time getting the barn ready, rehearsing for the play, lunching, dining wtlh Marge, no doubt His mother had glren him that much rope , Oh, why hadn't she made Tubby promise not to tell Gar he'd seen her? But she answered herself. It wouldn't make - any difference whether Tubby told him or not; Gar did not want to see her. ; When she went out Into the street Kitty passed the Times building, hoping that she would And Darld there. She needed to talk to some one; she wouldn't mind his scorn, anything he might say. But Darld was not standing In the old place. She walked on to Ketchum Street Dorcas was In a flurry ot dress ing. V "Want to cook something here, Kitty? David's gone out to his place In the country. Good riddance he's sour on everything." So Darld had gone to square up with himself! Kitty, scrambling eggs mechanically and with no ap petite, thought ot Dorcas': "Good riddance." But ther'd been a queer tone In her voice when shs'd said It . Unreasonably Kitty resented that Darld should take himself off Just now. She felt a little scorn tor any need of his. Why didn't he marry Dorcas when It was so plain that he could hare her? All the next day Kitty stared at herself In the glass. Tubby must hare thought she looked dowdy. Perhaps tomorrow some of the crowd would come In, Just to see how changed she was. All the next day Kitty waited tearfully for some one ot Oar's crowd to come. Each time anyone appeared around the dividing par tltlon her heart missed a beat When halfpast Ave came her head ached. She knew that It was Gar she really was hoping would come. (Convrlsst, Jane 4bb.lt) Will Oar oom.t Kitty till looks hopefully for him, tomorrow. "A. R.
