"We'll have to scrimp for the next two monthi to pay (or them." She laughed, to make the scrimping seem nothing. "Bills? Oh, I guess we don't hare to worry about those." "Christmas always costs a lot of money but It's worth It, Isn't It? We can catch up easily; neither of us will need any clothes (or ages. And I don't really need flowers, darling, though I love them when you send them. And I can cut down quite a bit on the house expenses. She kept to her light tone. Gar pinched her cheek. "What you can't seem to grasp, Kit, Is that you're married to a rich man's son I could run an account In every store in this city and they'd stand for It; they know I'm coming into a lot of money some day." Kitty had turned away to pour fresh coffee. Gar could not see the quick color that flamed to her face, the way she bit her lips togethor. She'd been dangerously nesr to a retort that would hare made Gar angry. When she answered It was In a steady voice, soberly. "I don't want It that way, Oar, I want us to get ahead on our own. And we will." - "Sure we will. And you're not to atew about money. Where are those bills? Give them to me. I'll take care of them." "But how. Gar?" "Oh, I've got a deal on. If he keeps his eyes open a man In busi ness can turn over a thousand any time he wants to." She gave him the little packet of . bills and he put them In bis pocket. "After this, I'll take care of these matters at the office. I'm not going to have you fussing about them. His manner was all tender. He kissed her, put on his eoat, ( kissed her again. Kitty began her day's program with a. light heart Oh, what goose she'd been to worry, to feel afraid of talking to Gar about their finances. And what a man of the world Gar was getting to bel The morning's mall brought her a long letter (rom Sally Withers. ". . . Kitty, I'm telling you before anyone else, except my family, nl course. Phil and I are engaged. "He's been working In his (ather's bank but Inst month he got a posl. lion over at the power plant at Corinth and he's getting fifty dol- ; y a week and I'm going to take Miss Brant's place at the library and I'll get twenty, ao with that we can manage beautifully. We're go ing to live with his father and mother for awhile. They're fixing an apartment on the third floor. "Can you come down for the wed' ding? Phil says he'd like Oar to stand up with him and of course I want you. It's going to be very simple, Just here at the house, and we plan now that it will be In March or April. I'll write to you the moment we've decided." Kitty glowed and laughed over the letter. Practical Sally, putting her bapplnesa In such a matter-of-fact way. Of course she and Oar would go to the wedding. She called Oar on the telephone to give him the news. Rut Gar was not In his office. Old Jonathan told her that Oar would not be In until tour o'clock. Probably, Kitty exulted, he was ut, somewhere, "turning" his cool thousand! She compared it, com placently, with Phil Corey'a plod ding. The crisp winter's afternoon In - rlted her out for a walk. Within a few blocks of Ketchum Street she yielded to a sudden Impulse to hunt David out ' He answered her ring, hesitating a moment before he admitted her. But ah knew by the swift lighting of his sensitive fsce thst he was glsd to see her. "Tou've timed your coming by some magic," he told her. He In dicated a thick Mat package on his table. "There It is, ready (or Us (ate." "Oh, David, we'll celebrate! Let's have tea at that little place where w went before. David, when It's out won't It snote them?" He knew what she meant He shook his head. "That waa my trouble. I waa working for that end. yon see, and I was down a blind alley. I got out of It. I don't raro If they never see It. I finished 't to get a better opinion of my self. And now It's done maybe I won't need tbe scorn of a certalii blue-eyed lady I know to stiffen my back-bone." Hla statement, put simply, moved Kitty curiously. Sbe felt rebuked and unaccountably elated all at the same moment "I don't think I ever waa scornful about you, David!" she denied quickly. And then shs laughed, the color flooding her (ace. She was taking a great deal to her self! Dorcas' eyes were blue, "But, David, I'm glad (or you! 'Jungle.' I can see It on the book stands." He agreed that they'd celebrate. He was In a gay mood. They drank aeveral cups of tea and ate Innumerable sandwiches. Sbe told him about ber letter from Sally and laughed as she pic tured (or him Sally and Phil, the unromantlcs. "I'm going to have a good talk with Sally. I must warn her not to take everything so seriously." Kitty assumed a very experienced and much-married manner. "I've (ound that out" Sbe gave a little laugh. "David, haven't I changed a lot since that first night we met?" He considered, without any an swer, the bright (ace opposite him. I can see, myself, Just how I've changed," sbe pursued, rather lik ing the review. "1 must bare seemed very young to you at first" You were a kid and a very lonesome one at that," David agreed gravely. ' "And you were so nice to ma You said then that I must be pa tient with Gar. And something about my standing on my two feet Well, I didn't do either the one thing or the other. Tbe first clash we had I got craiy and rushed away from Gar, went to you " "You call It crasy, now?" "Oh, yes, David. I wasn't patient And I didn't aland on my two (eel at all; I leaned most awfully on you!" . You are disillusioning me. I thought you were rather a wonder!" Ob, I wasn't anything of the sort. Now I'm adapting myself. And Isn't that the way It should be?" 'Do you want my honest opin ion?" "Of course," she challenged. "I liked the you you were when you were living on Ketchum Street. There was something rather fine about you. I thought you were go ing to be" He hesitated, bring ing his brows together over a little doubt, then finished Inadequately, different." "Oh, David! And 1 was so un happy thonl" She, In her turn, stopped contused, a little angry. It's that you think Just ot me and not of me and Oar," she pro tested sharply. He did not look at her. He nodded his head. "Exactly. I pre fer to think of you and not of you and Gar." . . "Well, It can't be done." She managed an unruffled tone. "Gar and I are tndlssolubly one." She had an Irresistible desire to flaunt her security. "I'm sorry If you're disappointed In me, she finished archly. Did I call It that? I'm Inter ested, notwithstanding" Will I make copy for your next book? There will be a next won't there?" Perhaps," he answered noncom mittal. She was afraid he was shutting door on, her. "What does Dorcas say now that you re finished 'Jungle'? Isn't she pleased?" She doesn't know." Oh, David, you're the limit. You're hopeless." Kitty laughed In oxasperatlon. He waa too Incurably sensitive; he wouldn't tel Dorcas until ha knew the manuscript was sold. David walked with her a part ol the way back to the Tudor Arms Kitty was thinking what a pleasanl afternoon they had had together. They had turned Into the atreel that led past the Crosby house. II stood now. In the dusk, a shadowy pile ot granite with oblongs ot mel low light suggesting luxurious warmth and comfort within. An asphalt drive curved to lit wide entrance. A roadster waited on the drive. Why" the little word escaped Kitty. It was Gar's ear. She walked along for a moment In silence. Then: "Gar haa to stop at Marge'a often. They're plsnnlnt the next play, you aee." Her head went up, her square little chin set determinedly. She wss answerlni herself, for David had said no'.b inc. Copyright, Jane.
