trlth her roommate, Judith Carroll
at the Carroll plantatton arlhet
south In Alabama. It viae a tileae
ant change trom Emily'e own Inju
rious but primly managed home
and beeides. Judith's handnnme
brother David has fallen in love
vith Emily. He hna eve- written
her a letter, practically unheard o;
tor him. Saw he-le arriving to eee.
her at college.
Chapter Eight
EVEN THEOEAN
fVAVID wu far mors charming
U and mors frightening than she
had remember; him. Nothing but
full retreat save her trom being
klaaed beforf an Interested audience
of at least twenty people.
David's affections. Ilka David him
alt, ware absolutely uninhibited.
. "David!" sha protested. "Would
you blast my reputation?"
Ha looked surprised and hurt.
"Then let's go somewhere else, where
I can kiss you."
"There Is nowhere else. I'm
freshman."
"Do you mean that we've got to sit
) fn this this mausoleum, with the
entire student body doing picket
duty at tbe dooi ?"
"This mausoleum" was the fresh
man parlor: a thing of red plush and
golden oak, redolent of past gran-
deur. Emily laughed.
"I'm afraid o."
"Then let's drive In to town. It's
Dearly dinner-time anyhow, and 1
want you to have dinner with me
and go to a theatre afterwards. A
alee, dark theatre," he added per
uaslvely.
"My darling, 1 can't," she told him
ruefully. "Only seniors can have din
ner with men In town."
David ran an agonized hand
through his hair. He looked more
natural that way and Emily felt
better.
"Oh, my God!" ha groaned.
Emily seated herself on tbe red
plush sofa, beneath the portrait of
the school's first president. "David,
I'm sorry. If you bad only given me
nough notice I could have arranged
to go home for the week-end. 1 want
you to meet Mother and Dad, any
how." She felt a pang of uneasiness at
the Idea of tbat meetlug. Mr. Felton
would be all right, but ber mother
would be Instinctively distrustful or
anything so attractive and unre
strained aa David.
"Child, how could I? I didn't know
it myself. I sat down to write you a
tetter, and suddenly I couldn't re
member what your mouth looked
like! So 1 got In the car and came.
And now 1 want to kiss you so badly
1 hurt. I'm going to see the Dean
and ask her If I can't take you in
town."
She started. "David, you're notl"
"I am." He patted her hand. "Walt
for me."
Miraculously, Dr. Markham was
In her office and alone. David
smoothed his hair and entered. Not
ven Deans made him conscious of
his feet
, "1 coma aa a suppliant," be an
nounced without preamble.
Dr. Markham looked Hurtled, but
not entirely displeased. Like most
Victorian spinsters she was not In
sensible to men, particularly to
handsome young men who weren't
In the least afraid of her. It was a
decided point In her favor; perhaps
one of the secrets of her success. It
enabled her to keep the common
toucb. -
"A suppliant for what?" she
asked.
"A great favor. Suppose you were
a young man," Intentionally he flat
tered her powers of Imagination,
"that was terribly In love. And sup
pose you drove a hundred miles to
see the object of your affections and
found tbat Just because sha was a
freshman a falling she'll outgrow
soon enough, heaven knows you
couldn't even see ber except In a par
lor that the entire freshmen class
was using as a race-track. Wouldn't
It," he appealed, "make you tear
your hair?"
T"R. MARKHAM was charmed. She
felt entirely divested of her awe
Inspiring robes of stale. She felt hu
man and confidential.
"It would. Indeed," she confessed.
"Then won't you let me take her to
town to a movie?"
"I wish I might." she said In her
gentle, precise voice, "but If I made
an exception 1 should never have a
moment's peace. Can't you see how
many youn mm there are who

sincerely, because Emny was ouv ..
ber favorite students. She looked
thoughtful. "Since you have come
such a long distance 1 will make a
concession. Emily may entertain you
in one of tbe senior parlors. They
are," she concluded with a mis
chievous twinkle, "quite private."
David beamed upon ber. "If this
weren't a business tTlce," he told
her warmly, "I would kiss your hand
In gratitude."
In the Intimacy of the tiny slttleW
room he caught Emily to h:l and
held her close, while time stood quite
still.
"Sweet," he whispered, his lips
moving hungrily over her face.
She couldn't speak ; she could only
cling to him, and feel the rough, un
steady beating of his heart.
They sat close together on a couch,
while Emily asked eager questions
that David answered: about tbe
plantation, bis father and mother,
tbe puppies, the horses. Then twi
light fell, and Judith came In from
laboratory, bringing with her light
and gaiety and a smell of sulphuric
acid.
"How on earth," Emily asked
when the greetings were over, "did
you know where to find us? I was
lust going out to phone you."
Judith grinned Impishly. "I
couldn't have helped knowing;
they've Just Issued a grapevine extra
about It Rumor has it that David
hypnotized Dr. Markham to get her
consent to this. Everything." sha
told him with affectionate sarcasm,
"seems to be grist that comes to your
mill. There ought to be a law against
you."
They went In to dinner soon after
tbat, and David was the focus of a
hundred palra of eyes. He seemed
quite unaware of the attention, but
Emily and Judith glowed with a re
flected glory.
He left next morning, promising
to be back very soon, and the daya
after tbat were merely days, with
twenty -four Interminable boura
apiece.
COMMENCEMENT. The campus
wna crowded with parents, rsdl
aut with pride for their daughters'
achievements; with seniors, radiant
with pride tor their parents. There
were Innumerable festivities. In
which freshmen bad no part. Judith,
who bad a hearty contempt for
pageantry and traditional observ
ances, decided to go home.
"Exams are over tomorrow," she
announced, "and there are plenty of
doting parenta to alt around and
dote, so I'll never be missed."
"Then I might as well go too,"
Emily decided. School without Ju
dith had no charms whatever. "I
wish you would come up home for a
while first. After you get to Carroll1
ton you'll never tear yourself away."
"I wish I could." That was Inac
curate; whatever Judith wished, sha
could. She confessed at last: "To tell
you the truth, I'm homesick Why
can't you come home with me?"
The prospect was alluring. "I'm
afraid I can't. .Mother's aucb a stick
ler for rules that she'll never let me
come again until you've been up
home."
"In that case I'll be there as soon
as I've run home and kissed the fam
ily. Then you enn come back with
me."
They spent the aftcruoou packing.
Emily packed carefully, mindful of
her mother's scrutiny when tbe
truuk was opened at home; Judith
flung tennis rackets, panama hats
and shoe polish democratically in to
gether. "What about books and pictures?"
Emily asked.
"We'll get a big wooden box and
store 'em. Then all we'll have to do
will be to move 'em to Ecphsmore
Hall In September. The rugs and
blankets can go to the clenners, and
they can worry over getting thoso
home for us."
They slept that night In a single
bed, because all but two sheets hsd
been packed, snd because the pros
pect of a separation left them both a
little shakeu.
William arrived with the Felton
car at ten, and Emily drove Judith
to the station before she left. She
went with her to the gate, where the
conductor stopped her.
They looked at each other deeply,
without speaking; then one corner
of Judith's mouth lifted. "No Bow.

"No," Emily agreed. "And besides,
you've promised to come hack right

"1 have. And we Carrolls keep our
