She stood tor a moment sutslde, Irresolute, letting the home rolng crowds Jostle her. It teemed or a moment not possible to (to sack to a lonely evening In Ketchum Street And suddenly ab wr.s aware of a man standing it the curb, bit back to her, a figure to dearly familiar that she gave a quick cry: "Gar!" She ran to him, calling again. He wheeled about She saw hit face set, dark with a scowl, but she did not heed it, nor the passert-by, "Oart Oh, Gar!" "So Tubby uatn't lying!" "Oar, let's go wbere we can talk." She caught the lapel of his coat, clung to It. "I'll say we're got something to talk about. Kit! Hy . . ." He hailed a cruising toxical). He opened the door and stood stiffly aside to permit ber to enter. "Wbere to, sir?" asked the driver. "Oh, anywhere! Keep going until I tell you to atop," Oar answered aavagely. Then he atepped in and alammed the door shut behind him "Now!" he growled, turning to Kitty. But her face, lifted to bis, was to alight with love, to warm with longing, that hit anger melted. He caught her roughly to him, hold ing her close; he kissed her. "Ob. Kit how I've wanted you." He felt tears against bla face and he kissed them from her cheek and her eyes. "Oar I've missed you!" That waa all that they could tay, then. , But after a little Oar roused. ."You kid, you ought to be tpanked. What I've gone through banging on to myself until you got over your tulks. How long hare you been In town, anyway? "I dldn'tfgo to Brldgewater, Oar. Pound knew" "But It was Pound told the mother than you'd gone to your folks!" Kitty drew back a little from hla arms. "Pound told your mother ttiatt" A growing certain ty brought little frown between her browt. Pound had not told Mrs. Frew that It waa what the wanted Oar to believe. "We'll let the family go on think ing you've been in Brldgewater all this time. I don't Intend the motber shall know what you've been up to. Tubby'U keep hit month shut. I told htm to. But where have you been ataylng, Kit?" ' i "On Ketchum Street, with friend of Davld'a. I went to David that nlgbt. Oar. You tee I'd mot .him once when he came to have .dinner with his father. He waa nice" "Nice!" Oar exploded. Then, auspiciously: "How come you didn't speak of It at the time, Kit? Tbat'a darn funny." "I couldn't give blm away. I mean, hla practice of coming to the house to see his father when the rest of the family were away.". "The devil he did!" He tightened hla hold of her, masterfully. "It makes me sick. Kit thinking tot you going 'round with any of David's rotten crew. But you're through with that whole business, let me tell you." . "What do you mean, OarT "Mean? I'm going to take care of you. You're just a silly little kid from the country. You don't know anything about the big world. You're a precious tweet" He pushed off her hat to bury hla face In her hair. Hit Hps moved down to prest hard against hers. "I'm going to take you home." Hla ardor waa burning through her like a flame; hla voice, hla en dearment!, the remembered clean smell of hla hair, his bands, bis cheek close to hers tilled her starved heart with a passion of adorlni. And even while she protested: "Oh, Oar, not there not to your mother's," she clung to him more tightly. "Oar, darling, I'm sorry about that last night I was angry I didn't mean everything but I did mean" She had to struggle against the longing to surrender wholly "Oar, we'll never be really happy until" She closed ber eyea that the might not see bla face. It he were angry, now, aha could not bear It the must die AGAINST FIREBUG KUOENE, Ore., May . I API Re ported threats of an attack on the night watchman at the Booth Kelly lumber mill at Bprlnsfleld and of plaits to burn the mill, resulted In etaM police stationing an officer at the mill last unit aa an extra pre cautionary measure. Police said to- dsy there waa no attempt to damage the plant. A number of Incendiary fires throughout the state, striking at In dustrial planta, has resulted In more than usual precaution to protect the propertied. Eugene had two aucn llrrs, and arsonists caused damage at Medfotn. Hood River. Klamath rails sod, 8aem, - Lin be did sot relax bis bold ol her. "Funny little kid. Old Sweet! Have It your way! I'll take tbal Job with Dad tomorrow, it It's go ing to make you happy. Now, la there anything more to be said?" "Yes!" She laughed softly. She turned a radiant, flushing face to his. "You haven't told me that you love me." "I love you, and more tomorrow and more the next day " "David!" Kitty balled David as be was turning away from the Timet building several dayt later. - "I believe you saw me ai d that you were going to go on without speaking to me," she accused. "What nonsense I'm getting near-sighted. Or maybe It's that you look a little dauling " "And then I'll Bay nonsense to that And I'm not going to let you go now, either.". She put her band through bit arm with a little Im pelling gesture, lifting a glowing, soft face to his. "Let's have tea aomewhere. Left go back to nur apartment" . "Not there," David answered quickly. "But I'll go anywhere else. What's the matter with that place?" He nodded toward a chintz bung window. "Perfect!" She settled herself comfortably In her chair, regarding David with affectionate Interest "It's been per fect aget tlnce I've teen you. Did going out to your v little bouse square things up tor you?" He flashed her a quizzical, half ironical glance. "It disposed of It," he anawered shortly. "David. I've missed you!" He tbook hit head. "You can't expect me to believe that Kitty, much as I'd like to." He surveyed her, affecting astonishment undei which Kitty grew more radiant "You are dazzling," he repeated. "Silly! . It's only a new hat and a new coat, and Inexpensive onea, at that But I don't wonder they make you stare you've only seen me in those disgracefully shabby things I wore on Ketchum Street I suppose I do look like a different creature." "With a measure of marital bltsi to finish yie miracle?" He had not kept a mocking edge from hla voice. Kltty't flush deep ened. "I am happy, David. And I've wanted you to know. That's why el was so glad when I ran Into you. Everything's going beautifully. Oar's working for hla father and he likes it We've leased a fur nished apartment at the Tudor Arms until we're enough ahead to take a house somewhere.." "And you've mads a truce with Mrs. Frew?" ' Kitty hesitated, disconcerted foi a moment by David's Implication. "Something Ilka that She't very charming when we meet She's fai too busy to come to aee us the'i boon over only once. And I don't think of her any more than I hav to. Oar doesn't know what I over heard that day, you aee. Then didn't seem any use In telling him. I can forget It now." She epoks triumphantly. But Davld't expression made her triumph seem empty. He wasn't drinking bis tea; ha pushed the little cakea he had or dered away from him. Kitty no ticed that he was thinner, restless. that bis clothes looked shabbier. "David, left talk about you. How't the book going?" He ' thrugged hit shoulders. Static. If it starts any action it'll be toward a waste basket." David! . What does Dorcas say to that?" "I haven't seen Dorcas lately." She protested again. "How about yourself? The last time I did see her she asked me what I'd heard of you." He had countered Kitty effectual ly. She had seen Dorcaa only once since she bad left Ketcbum Street 'My housekeeping keeps me very busy,'' she answered, a little prim ly, ' "I love It David. And eve nings Oar always wants to do some thing" But her defense sounded lame In ber own ears; she stopped, a little confused. "And we're contraband, any way," David finished. Kltty'a face sobered. She gav an impatient little shake of bet head. "You alwayt put things so dlssgreeably, Davldl Just when everythlng'a particularly nice you say something to spoil It la It that you like to offend me? It to I'll go straight away and aava you the bother." Copyright, Jan Abbott) "Why don't yeu marry Dorcas?" Kitty aiks David in tha ntt In. FOR PROHI STAND WA8HINOTOM. Msy .
