ANOTHER DAY
fiAROL waked next morning to a
knock at her door. Someone.
Mrs. O'Connor said through the door
In a thin, pleased voles, wanted ber
on the telephone. She slipped on a
robe and went to answer the call.
"Carol?"
"Yes."
"This Is Ben Tyler. Why In tho
devil don't you let somebody know
where you are? I been phoning
Yerywhere."
She gave an Instant to remember.

"What church do you go to?" she
asked.
Carol shrugged. "I was born an
Episcopalian. What about you V
"Presbyterian."
"Then we'll go there. It's closest"
The rear half of the cburcb was
well filled; the front half empty ex
cept for a very old lady with an
acoustlcon. The minister was an
earnest young man wltb a mind as
orderly and conventional as his ap

be tied all tho ends of his discourse
into a neat and ornamental bow of
rhetorio and tossed It to the congregation.
The sermon was over, and the
minister was pronouncing beautiful,
singing words: "And now may the
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ rest
and abide upon you all, and upon all
God'a people everywhere. . . ."
Mr. Hudson was at the door,
beaming upon tho world. The min
ister, . whose name was Mr. Wil
liams, was beside him, waiting to
exteud the rlgbt band of fellowship.

"Right."
Ben Tyler was almost unchanged
In four years. A Utile more stomach
and a little leas hair, hut otherwise

beamed at her.
"Younger and better looking than

Sho scowled. "When a gut jots to

It was. Ben seemed to bring with
him the odor uf guy days when she
was a Visiting Girl. He put her In
his venerable roadster and clattered
away.
"The old gang held a Jubilee when
we heard you were coming."
"How are they all?"
"Ob, Jogging along."
They went In the Acropolis Cafe
and sat at a marble-topped table.
Carol ordered breakfast and Ben
decided to have another cup of cof
fee. Then she said:
"Somothlng tells me (hat Jubilees
will be out of my orbit. I've got the
young mnnhood and womanhood of
America looking to me,"
Ho grinned. "Thoy could show you
things, honey. Besides, teaching's
not that bad: all you have to do Is
use modernllon and keep your
mouth shut."
That was a relief.
"You cheer mo up. I've always
made a practice of those, even when
I didn't have to."
He dropped bor at home a few
minutes beforo eleven. "I love you.

most In the same breath, about Sun

Williams) Ws teach tlioso same
girls all week long, and wo all need

ness' sake) bare a heart!"
He looked surprised and rather
pleased. It waa obviously tha drat
time anybody had laughed Id bis
face In church and begged blm to
bava a heart and be enjoyed the
sensation. He became almost arch.
"1 hadn't thought of that. Since
you put It up to me like that I'll
leave you In peace."

Mr. Hudson asked solicitously. They
said they wero, and made art es

shadows, and swung her legs In the
cleor green water or the swimming
pool.
"This pool Is a gift straight from
