"Guess you didn't miss me durin' the wild ride for life," said Pink. "You look funny around the eyes. Sorta goofy like. Need sleep? Or are you holdin' out on a pal?" "No." "Meanin' yes." There was a speculative look in Pink's gray eyes. "I can guess what it is, kid. And I'd sooner not." "What are you driving at?" "Just what you think. I'm not dumb or blind. You lost your head and didn't cover. That little dame landed one over your heart. So you think you love her." Dale drew a deep breath. "I know I do, Pink. And she loves "We know. If you make her happy, it's all we'll ever ask of you, son. We're both rather fond of her." "You don't have to tell me that." "There is only one thing to say. Mother has insisted that I be the official spokesman." Brady reached out and patted his wife's hand. "You're both rather young, you know." "Yes, sir. Lee and I talked that over. She is willing to wait until I get a start. I'm not afraid." "She told us something of the sort," Lee's father went on. "You're doing the wise thing. For that reason, we would rather there were no formal engagement just now. I would be the last one in the world to suggest that either of you would change your minds, but you are going to have the test of separation." "That isn't going to make any difference." "I hope not." Brady chuckled and squeezed his wife's hand. "To be frank with you, Dale, I doubt if you me." have a chance to escape.

"I got my reasons." Pink's mouth set in a stubborn line. "You'd better tell me then." "Nope. But I can tell you this much. It'll worry him a heap more'n you figure. He's countin' a lot on what you're goin' to make of yourself, once you get started. Don't tell him you've got yourself throwed at the start. It'll hurt." "Sorry, Pink. I'll have to let him know about it. I can't foul any more than you could." "I thought perhaps you might be over, when you didn't call me," was Lee's greeting to Dale later in the afternoon. "I couldn't stay away any longer," he admitted. "And I was wondering if you had heard from your father." "Thank you, yes," Lee replied, her eyes shining with merriment. "He and mother are home.

"Then I do understand. Oh," she told him impetuously, "I've loved you in such crazy desperate little ways. Happy and hurt, all at the same time. I'll never be able to tell you. But I want to help you in every way I can. And I'm going to begin by giving you up for this evening. You want to have a talk with your father. And I know you're dreadfully tired." Their lips met. "Oh, Dale dear," Lee sighed happily, as she pressed her cheek against his arm. "You'll always kiss me won't you? Say you will." "I will." "Then just once more." good-nigh- t, CHAPTER XI "Of course. But my first feeling is one of keen disappointment. Wait i He held up a hand in restraint as Dale started to speak. "Do not misunderstand me. I have every reason to believe that Miss Brady is a gentlewoman. It never would occur to me, I think, to question your choice. I have always believed the regard you hold for your mother's memory would safeI guard you. You understand, think." "Yes, sir." "I have told you a number of times, Dale, that I wished never to interfere with your life. I avoided trying to influence you in choosing the work you liked best. Your success in school has led me to believe that you made no mistake. Before long now, you will be out making a place for yourself. The first years will be the difficult ones. More so than you think." The lamp with the green globe was the only light burning in Jonathan Farwell's study when Dale looked through the door.

"I shan't be in a hurry. Lenora and I have talked it all over. She understands and is willing to wait." "I am glad to hear it. You are going away. It would be wiser for both of you to be content with your present understanding. Much may happen in the meantime." "That is the way Mr. and Mrs. Brady feel about it. We are not going to announce anything." "You are wise." There was a distinct note of relief in Farwell's words. Dale waited for a moment.
