ROW GO OX WITH TBR STORY CHAPTER XXX TT had been raining when Dan reached Chicago. Hard, cold, un feeling rain, beating down on streets like black glass, making danling reflections In all the pud dies. He sat moodily In the taxi which was hurling blm across town from one station to another. He'd been a fool to write that let ter to Monnie, he told himself, when he was In that black mood two weeks ago. His mother had been "working on him' as she often did, whispering that he was te keep vp the good work, devoting htmserf to Sandra because on Mr. Lawrence's approval depended all their fat ore. After the talk with his father Dan was inclined to take her word for It. Dan knew as well as the next fellow how preca rious business conditions were. He felt a slacker anyhow, off there en Joying himself while his father sweated at home over the bills. Well, It hadn't been his own Idea. He'd done It to please the family. Then, all hot and bothered, discouraged too, he had written to Monnie, telling her he thought they'd better not plan to be mar ried la January. It was just a mood and moods pass. Person oughtn't te write letters when he felt that way. Curious that she hadnt answered. Dan would have sworn that Monnie would give yon a comeback on a letter like that. Once she wonld have. He wondered what coald hare happened. Deep down he had a sneaking suspicion that one reason he'd written It was to get Monnle's answer, hurt, lov ing, assuring him she'd wait, ask ing what the trouble was. Didn't he care any more? But he hadn't had a line not a I word. Dan hated to write letters, himself. Somehow he never knew Quite what to say but he'd been sure she would write him often. All this fortnight he had watched for mall, expecting every day to have a line from her. Then when the month had been up and she had still remained silent he had told his mother he was going to run on home ahead of the rest of them. He had been, all of a sudden. Im patient to see Monnie. Mother hadn't ".anted him to do It had complained that Sandra would think It queer. Dan swore softly to himself. What did he care what Sandra t'longht? Sure, she was good looking, rmart but she left him cold. Whereas Monnie and here Dan'a deep set eyes glowed he was crary about Monnie. There was someihlng about her that caught at his heart, squeezed It Maybe she was sick. Oh no, he assured him self; lighting a ctearet in the cab's sintr. darkness, no. she was Just sore. She'd been like this before about something he'd done. He might wire. He might "phone her long distance. Then he decided against that In a small place like Belvedere news got around so eas ily. No, he'd wait until he saw her and could talk to her. That was the best way. a 'J'HE big terminal seemed cMUy and deserted. Dan strode along, glancing with casual interest at the little group of shawled Immi grants huddled ever their bags. It was a gloomy place. Gave him the shivers. Well, there wasn't long to wait His train was already made up. j The wheels beat a tune Into his brain. It was a tune he had danced te that last night at the Bar-A Ranch. "Isn't ft romantic da-de-da-da-da-de-da-da-da." Sandra had been humming the words, her head thrown bark, those queer, heavy lidded gray eyes of hers on his face. Maybe Dan had held her a little tighter than neces sary. Ho was, he told himself, do ing everything to kep everybody happy. But as the wheels ground out the tune now he decldM he r'jwis iu uavo anytning more to do with Sandra. It was the very dickens, being pullM this way and that He liked her. She was fun to be with but that was all. If Mon nie hadn't been around he mlRht even have fall in the way of be ing In love with Sandra, He ad mitted that But as things stood well, It was Just too bad. Dan grinned In the darkness. He raised the shade and peered out Into the rainy night Nothing but blackness out there and occa sionally the blurred lights of a sta tion as they flashed post The train hooted eerily at a grade crossing. Dan wished he could sleep. Why was It he couldn't? Usually he dropped off the Instant his head touched the pillow. He knew what he'd do. First thing In the morning after h.M reached home and had a bath and shave and seen Dad he'd go see Monnie at the store. He'd surprise her not even 'phone. Maybe she could go to lunch with him. They'd drive out the Springs way. Then he'd tell her be was sorry he'd been such a dope about this trip. 8he'd understand, of course, and everything would be lovely. Curious he should feel rather nervous about It all. McELUOTT yrHK.N the train (loved Into Bah " vcdere the rain had stopped. There vara quite a few people let ting off. A football team coming to play the "Belvedere Stars.'' Tha np train wu Juat pulling out. Tha tall end of It waa visible, rounding the curve. Dan didn t even rook to it he knew any one on the platform, but ran for old Nate Blllip'a taxi ana curled hie bag Into It, He talked a lot to old Nate, part ly because he wanted to hear hla own voire after the long trip alone, partly because he liked the old fellow. Yes. the west was great. Dan said. Fine country wonderful peo pie but It was good to get home. He gTinned at old Nate as If ehar lng a secret. Maybe Nate would be driving his Dan's children some day, he reflected. Little girls with bronze curls blowing and sturdy little boys with blue eyes. Nate would call to take them to dancing school. "Or maybe Monnie will have a little car of her own.' Dan , day-dreamed. "By that time, maybe I can swing It ' Because, ot course, when they married he wouldn't have the roadster the family supplied him with. No, they'd be sore at hla mar riage especially his mother. She'd say he'd double crossed her and he hadnt at all He'd Juat had to keep It quiet because of the way she felt about everything. Veil, ehe'd come around. She'd hare to I Dan set his lips grimly. The maid who opened the door to him told him his father was at breakfast. The older man looked up, surprised, as Dan breezed in. "Where'd yon drop from, sont" Dan grinned. "Thought I'd loafed too long. The rest ot them will back day after tomorrow. I got reot- "Well, well!" Dan thought hla father looked older, more tired. There were two deep lines between his eyes. "How're thlnrsr "Oh, fair." Mr. Cardigan drank his coffee. "The bank renewed that note of mine 90 days. Hope to see my way dear after January first. Good of you. son, to do as I asked about this trip. It meant a lot to me." o QAN smiled. "I had a line time. Dad. Only I thought I ought to be hack here with yon." It's going to be all right I feel rare of It now." And yet hla father didn't look as If he meant It He got np heavily. Dan thought he'd aged in the past few weeks. "How are your mother and the glrlsr "Oh, rarln' to go! They're fine," Dan said lightly. "Sandra better!" "She's great She snapped out ot It and had a good time." glad to hear It Lawrence was anxious about her." Dan was Impatient now to be np and away. "Guess I'll clean up and oe down at the once later." His father put his arm across his shoulders. Tine. We can hare lunch together." "Yes. Uh maybe." He broke away. He had an Irre sistible temptation to telephone to Jionnie. Lets see It was nine o'clock. She wonld be at the store by this time. He gave the number, aat drum ming on the table, waitlna. "Miss ODare?" His face went blank. "Where d'you say? Oh, I see. I see!" He stood np, looking dated. There was something queer here. That boy had said Monnie had gone away, it sounded like "abroad." But that was crazy. She was right here In town. Somebody was play ing a practical joke on him. After he d washed np he'd run around and see her mother, ask her what it was all about Kay O Dare met him at the door. smartly dressed in blue. She stared when she saw him "Oh. hello." Some idiot down at the stors said Monnie d gone away," Dan blurted out "It Isn't true, is ItT" Kay gave him a cool glance. "She's sailing for Europe with Miss Corey tomorrow," she told him. "They left for New York this morn ing on the 8:. 10."
