L. Rowley in the world loneliest THEa summerplace resort at Christmas time. Joanne Decker watched gloomily as a half dozen men trudged through the snow skirting Arrowhead Lake. They would return in a few hours carrying Christmas trees on their husky shoulders. Joanne sighed heavily as the last man disappeared into the brush. This promised to be the dreariest Christmas Joanne had ever known. Even the postman's whistle failed to rouse her. It was only when Mr. Rogers stood at the far end of the drive waving a letter that a faint glow of curiosity came to her eyes. The old postman never signalled unless he had something important. Maybe it was a letter from Eddie! Slipping into a coat Joanne raced eagerly down the snow covered path, unmindful of her open-toe- d slippers. "It's from Lynne Grove," said Mr. Rogers with a grin. "Lynne Grove?" Joanne stared dreamily at the letter in his hand. Then Eddie hadn't forgotten her!

"A nice registered letter from Eddie Long." to Arrowhead Lake to marry her, as he had promised. "It's for your sister," said the old man. "Registered too but you can sign it." Joanne turned the letter over gingerly: on the flap, in bold, familiar writing, was the name E. Long. So Eddie Long was writing to her sister Mary! And after all the wonderful promises he had made to her. She walked numbly back to the house. Mary met her at the door. "Did we get mail?" she asked innocently. J. C.

"YOU got a letter," said Joanne accusingly. "A nice registered letter from Eddie Long!" ; Mary was startled; she blushed like a schoolgirl. "I thought so!" Joanne cried bitterly. "All these months you've been feeling sorry for me because Eddie stopped writing and you've kept in touch with him behind my back, What a hypocrite!" . Mary blinked helplessly. Joanne ran up to her room and slammed the door. The radio was on; Christmas carols only emphasized her loneliness. She switched it off. Her eyes settled on a paper box under the dresser. Drawing it out she scowled at the lovely figurine nestled therein. It was her Christmas present to Mary. With a sob she picked up the little figure and dashed it to the floor. Joanne heard the murmur of serious conversation downstairs. She hoped Mary was catching it. Suddenly she decided to teach them all a lesson. Christmas or not, she would leave home. She could board a bus this very morning. She knew exactly where to go; her friend Betty Giles had urged her repeatedly to spend ft week-en- d at their new home in Coopersville. 1 4 FH 4 Aid rW 1 : :-- f ' J:- - xw3 ' I Hi if" f 1 Surprise Meeting n was alive with holiday tourists. Joanne felt most s and conspicuous in her red sweater. She gasped in surprise when a familiar voice asked: ."Where to, Joanne?" Eddie Long's expressive brown eyes smiled down at her. He had her in his arms before she could remember any good reason to resist. "Merry Christmas, darling!" he cried as their lips parted. "I've waited more than a year for this. But why the suitcase? Mary told me you'd be at home for the holidays; that's why I sent her the letter announcing my arrival." "Mary? I I don't understand." "Well, it was supposed to be a surprise. Last summer, when I was on my way out here. I met with an accident. Mary and your mother knew that I was hurt pretty bad and they didn't want 'to frighten you.
