Her lips trembled and she hurried to look at Amos. Suddenly Sudden-ly Lydia realised how gray and broken bro-ken he looked, how bent his shoulders were with work, and there swept over her anew an understanding of his utter loneliness since her mother's and Levlne's deaths. With a little Inarticulate murmur, slie ran " across The "room" and Threw ber arms about his neck. "Oh. dad dy." she cried, "111 do It I I'll agree to it! If only you'll premise me to be happy!"

But she was restless snd unhappy un-happy and found It difficult to keep her mind on her college work. Finally, Final-ly, she timed her return from the dairy school, one afternoon, to coincide coin-cide with Billy's home-coming from his offlce-and she overtook him Just beyond the end of the street-car line. "Billy!' called Lydla. He turned and waited for her with r Trbad ?smlleBlttyf abeflald without preliminaries, "I gave In I" "Lydla !" he gasped. I couldn't stand their pleading. I hate myself, but dad looks ten yesrs younger 1" "Lydla!" cried Billy again, and there was such a note of pain In his Tolce that she turned her face to his with the same dogged look In her eyes that had been expressed In her walk. "Lydia. I enn't believe ltl" "It's true," repeated Lydla. "I couldn't stand JLenJL and dad both. And partly I did It for John Levlne's memory. I'm not trying to Justify myself, my-self, Billy.
