Indifferent to men at your age,"
said Allen. "You're as emotionally
immature as a child. You ought
to be blushing and Dalmtatins.
Jumping when the doorbell or
telephone rings, half out of your
wits with joy one day. dissolved

"What on earth have you been
reading Allen? The Development
of the Emotions in Females Be

some such idiocy? Out of my wits

Buddy! Girls don't behave like
that in these days. 1 assure you.
Not even Barbara lately at

"Doesn't she?" He seemed re

and I suppose I've been subcon
sciously expecting you to do the
same like catching the measles.
But," he said, "I understand now
it's not necessary to have those
kid diseases any more. Maybe it's
the same with sentimental at
tacks." "Maybe It Is," she agreed, and
both fell silent watching the
leaping flames on the hearth. But
when, two hours later, she laid
aside her book and came to tell
her brother goodnight, she said a
trifle forlornly: "Are you disap

think I'm a hard-hearted little
green apple that's never going to

on the arm of his chair and laid
her head somewhat wearily
against nis snouiuer. He tightened
his arm about her protectingly.

He looked up and feeing tears
in her eyes, pulled out his own
big handkerchief and dried them
tenderly. "Forget it," he said
again. "Forest has nothing on me
when It comes to talking rot. it
appears."
"Well, but, Allen but, Allen,"
she answered unsteadily, "you

surprising talk. She went over it

Was he Irvine: to nreoare her
for some news of his own, or was
he really worried about her
wholeness of heart?
She thought back on the last
Ave years. They had been happy
years, gay years, with Maggie to
look after the housekeeping and
notning tor sue to aa out enter
tain her brother's friends, sitting
with demure dignity opposite him
at table, shop with Barbara In
the mornings, drive her own
small car about as she would, run
down to Kansas Citv every week
or so for a play or a party, keep
up her French with old Madame
Lotselle, her music with Scarlett!
. . . it had all been fun, fun! Sure
ly it was not going to end now?
"Why should it, idiot?" she in
quired of herself as the clock in
the living-room struck twelve.
"What on earth are you getting
yourself so worked up about?
Allen has these attacks of con
science every so often, just as he
said. There was that time he de
cided I was too thin, and made
me drink raw eggs and cream
twice a day ughl And there was
the evening he caught Forest
teaching me to smoke, and sim
ply raised old Ned about it! This
tonight means nothing abso
lutely nothing!"
Nevertheless she tossed for an
other hour before she finally fell
asleep, her hand tucked under
her cheek as usual but a faint
frown knitting her black brows
even in slumber.
The next afternoon she went to
the river bluff again, this time
uuviug uer car ngni up to ine
great stones which protected the
edge against the thousand foot
drop.
The snot had always been a fa
vorite one with her. Her father
had brought her here when she
was a child, pointing out the
changes the sullen river had
made, showing her the flat coun
try on the other side where once
tne Indians had roved undisputed.
She remembered one glorious
day when a tall, gentle-voiced
newspaper man from Denver had
pointed out the exact spot from
which the Pony Express rider had
boarded the ferry boat on the first
lap ot his Dlcturesaue lournev.
Why do you always want to
come up nerer Baroara demand'
ed now and then. "It's always the
same oia view.
But it was never the same view,
Sue told herself; never were
river and sandbars and low lying
hills below quite '.he same. Born
in one of the most picturesquely
interesting of all Middle west
towns, she had been steeped In its
history and traditions. From
where she stood she could see the
spot on which candy kettles had
boiled for more than a century.
She liked to think of the young
Frenchman brought especially
from St. Louis to cater to the bold
fur-trader's sweet tooth: of the
unpretentious Ipg cabin in which
"molasses stew was made for the
'49 emigrants, enduring the long
winter In camps about the village,
"waiting for grass." It thrilled her
even yet to remember that spe
munity who entertained large groups
of friends with holiday dancing
parties at their home.

cially made "sticks" of winter-

from Boston itself, had been
pressed by mothers and sweet
hearts into the hard young hands
of the boyish Express riders to
lighten their dangerous journey.
Violent Crash
THE trees had been cleared
from this high point and a
level parking place made for mo
torists who like herself loved the
superb view. It was deserted this
late October afternoon. Sue sat in
her car, her lip caught beneath
her teeth, still puzzling over Al
len's inexplicable words of the
evening before.
Something crashed violently
into her car from behind, sending
it forward until its wheels were
stopped by the great rocks; bump
ing her head smartlv asainst the
wheel and driving her teeth
through the scarlet satin of her
lip. As alwavs when she was
frightened, rage seized her.
Have you no sense at all? she
cried. She was out of the car in a
flash and standing before a road
ster in which a very white young
man sat limply. "With practically
an entire block ot vacant ground,
must you choose the identical spot
where one lonely car is parked?
Or were you trying to commit
suicide and I got in your way?
To her mounting fury he made
no answer; merely essayed a sick
ly smile at her and slumped a lit
tle further down on the sloping
seat of the smart car.
"I believe you're drunk!" she
said with icy contempt
He sighed like some one emerg
ing from ether.
No I'm not I damn well wish
I was though," he assured her
earnestly. "I thought" he gulped
and wet his dry lips with hie
tongue "by George, I thought for
one awful second that I'd pushed
you right over rocks and every
thing.' He fumbled for his hand
kerchief; dabbled at his suddenly
wet forehead. "I don't dare get
out just yet; 'fraid my knees
would give way under me."
She was not In the least ap
peased by his obvious fright Her
eyes were enormous in her small
pale face, and smouldered under
neath their inky brows.
"I'm waiting for you to ex
plain!" "Brakes. Nothing held. I
grabbed the emergency but "
"And do you usually drive on
high hills without any brakes?"
The color was beginning to
creep back into his face, and he
sat a little straighter.
"Look here! Let me explain,
won't you? I haven't touched this
car for a month. Lent it to a
friend who was touring the
Ozarka. I picked it up about fif
teen minutes ago downtown
somewhere and drove it up here
to have a look at the river. Uphill
all the way, so I didn't consider
the brakes were all shot to fa
pieces until I tried to stop along
side of you and . . . didn't It'a the
truth," he insisted, seeing her
sternness had not abated under
this explanation.
"You ought to have looked be
fore you started up herel" she
stormed. "You ought not be al
lowed to drivel You ought to
have your license taken away
from you! If you'd hit me just
little harder or at just the right
angle I'd be down there thii
minute, struggling in the river.
That is, if I were alive at all," aha
added.
