Mike told her, patiently. She was the dumbest cluck he'd ever teen about keeping the place. He won dered If she was deaf or anything. As they left the class-room Anna bel was under his elbow. She said pathetically: "Why don't yon eyer pay me any mind, Mike?" Mike turned and stared down at her. Annabel's father was a big mer chant, and he was the son of a lint head: why on earth should he pay her any mind? He grinned, a little crookedly. "Because I know where I belong." She made a petulant face at him. "You sure are dumb. Vou belong wherever you want to go." That was a new Idea. He sniffed It suspiciously and decided to let It He there. He said deliberately: Annabel snuggled down "That's mighty tweet of you, but 1 guoss 1 won't risk It." Annabel frowned, and then de cided to look pathetic again. "Please, Mike. Ask me for a date sometime." He squirmed. He wasn't sure be wanted a date with her even If he could get It. ' "I'm pretty busy during football season. When you practice all after noon It means you got to study at nights." "Not on weekends, surely." She turned her face up to him and Mike felt a hot, prickling sensation In his stomach, lle'd seen that eort of look before, but not on a face like Annabel's. She ought to have a brother to tell her what waa what. He said uncomfortably: ' "No not on weekends. But I'm not coming to your house just to get kicked down the sups." "You won't." She moved closer. "If I ask papa first: tell him you want to come If he'll let you; and he aayt yes, then will you ask me for a date?" That looked to him like an out, so he snatched at it eagerly. "Yeah. If you'll promise to tell him who I am." "Oh, 1 will." She was radiant Mr. Monroe was a busy, preoccupied man who delegated all disciplinary meas ures to his wire, and his wife waa laty and malleable. Already Annabel could visualize herself wearlug Mike at her belt. She gave a little skip s she left him. "Don't forget now. You've prom ised." "Sure." He went on to the woodshop, and assaulted a lathe with furious en ergy. He snatched up a poplar stick and began turning a chair leg. BUT the next day Annabel waa lying In wait, and before the tri umph In her eyes Mike's heart sank like a sounder. "Mike. He said it was all right. Ho said he thought that kind of atti tude was undemocratic." That was glaringly untrue. Mr. Monroe had said. "Hannigan. Who's he?" and Annabel had waved a hand.

Miss Torrance, and Carol caught the appeal In them and felt dread rising to muddy her thinking. ON Saturday night he caught a ride from the mill village to town, then walked to Annabel's house. It wae an expensive, uninspired house: cream brick with a green tile roof and a wide porch supported by square brick columns. He set hit Jaw and rang the bell, and Annabel met him at the door.

Mr. Monroe nodded approval, "Good business." He looked thought ful.

He could smell some sort of thick perfume she bad put on her ears, and her red dress was too low In the neck. The pnlma ot his hands were wet. She talked very fast at first: about school, and what a grand fullback he was, and Miss Torrance sura was crazy about Denis Ford, wasn't she? At ten o'clock she led him to the kitchen with her and fussed prettily and domestically about getting out orange juice and cake. And when they came back to the couch she wriggled herself under his arm and lifted her face to blm. He ached to walk out and leave her, but there was that hot thick perfume, and th red dresa that waa much too low in the neck. He kissed her savagely and (elt her lips part under his and her knee pressing against him. After that he made a queer, smoth ered sound under his breath and quit fighting.
