In the fact thnt he was talking like this to her, he a mature man, n senior In college. She was thrilled through and through, but she hadnt been exactly paying attention to the words he said. The consequence was thnt when he stopped talking rather suddenly, the silence was perfectly blank. Shed nothing ready to say, and she couldnt think of anything except what a dumb fish she was not to be able to respond to him with a single word. She was aware thnt be wns snatching a look at his watch. I've got to run, he said. 'Tvn staved twice as long as I'd any business to. I told mother I wouldn't he gone but a minute.

Itoger hail laid no more to do with it than she had. Only she wished she could remember how It had felt. She was lying on her bed, propped up by an extra pillow or two, reading her favorite sentimental novel. The sound of the front door opening gave her a start. Hut It wasn't mother. It was Ed. She could tell by Uip way he slammed the door. It wasn't worth while getting up for him. When he culled upstairs, Mother! she answered, Mother Isn't home,'' hut not loud enough to he sure he heard. She rather hoped he hadn't. Then he'd go out to the kitchen, get something to eat, and probably go away again. She felt perfectly well disposed toward Eil hadnt a grievance against him In the world only she didnt feel like talking to him, nor to anybody. Why didn't he go over and see Agatha?

She Isnt home yet, but 1 think she "No, I went soinew here else, first, to try to get a job." "Stop college, you mean?" she cried. "Ed, jeej wouldn't do that.

Oh, Ed, that would he perfectly horrible! He laughed nnd patted her hand. "I'll earn It," he said, but not that way. Whnt I think I'll try for first Is will he pretty soon. He catne straight on to her door and asked, May I come In? Its you I wanted to talk to, anyway. "Sure! she said. "Come In. Im Just lying down. "Still feeling rotten? he asked. Oh, no, not especially, she said bravely. "No, really Im all right." He came over nnd sat down on the edge of the bed, undeterred by the fact thnt she didnt move to make room for him. "You poor kid!" he said. "Im horribly sorry, Edith." You could see he meant It all right. He bent down over her, and she realized thnt he meant to kiss her. On an uncontrollable nnd perfectly automatic Instinct, she wriggled away from hlrn. Deeply hurt, he sat erect ngaln. She was sorry, hut not regretful. Roger's kiss wns safe for a while longer anyway. She supposed shed have to wash her face some time, nnd after thnt. It wouldnt matter. Hut until then . . . "Oh, thats the way you feel about me. Is It? Ed asked. "No, It Isnt.

"Im sorry, Ed. I didn't mean anything. I tnke It all hack. Will you forgive me?" "Oh, It's nil right. I haven't anything to forgive. I can see how you must have felt about me. You must have hated me. Hated you! she echoed, sitting up. Don't he silly! I didn't, anything of the kind." "Well, you didn't have anything on me If you did. Not last night, after my talk with dad. 1 found him sitting up waiting for me when I came He told home from Slartha's party. me nil about things. Gosh!" All about what?" he said, llow hard "Everything. up ho was because of the new business; and about how you and he and mother were doing without things and saving every cent you possibly could; and how they were going to send you because they to the high school couldn't afford to keep you on In the old school, lie told me enough, all right!

Goe, but hes a peach, Edith She nodded In full agreement, but there was something else on her mind that she didn't want to forgot about. You said there were two things settled. What wns the other one? The other thing Is that you're going right straight along to your regular school just as If nothing had happened. "I dont see how I can, slip objected.

If it had been dull and rainy Edith didn't feel a bit sure shed have had the nerve to put her program through. Also, If the weather had been bad, mother would never have consented to her taking the car at five o'clock to go down to dad's office and bring him home. Dad was surprised, all right, to see her come walking Into his office. Whether he was altogether pleased or not, she couldn't he sure, though he said he was. She hadn't told her plan to anyone, not even to Ed, though slic'd had to borrow twenty dollars of him to take the first step toward carrying it out. Slic'd done that this morning Just before he left, and had got, at the same time, n promise from him that he wouldn't tell. By now, her bomb was all made and ready to throw. "I'll he ready in a few minutes." dad said. "I want to sign a letter that should go out tonight, if you don't mind waiting. He went hack to the papers on his desk nnd gave her the opportunity for a good look at the typewriter upon which the unspeakable boy was hammering out tho letter he waited for. It wns Important that she should know what kind of typewriter it was, and it took more than one glance to spell out the half obliterated gilt letters on thp front bar of the frame. The letter was finished at last. Dad looked it over, made quite a lot of corrections In ink. and finally signed nnd sealed It. He seemed In sort of a hurry to get away. She took the driver's seat when she got into tlip ear. feeling dimly that she had the reins in her own hands betrer thnt way. Almost half-wahome she pulled out to flip curb nnd stopped means.

Of course she couldn't make her voice sound the way she wanted It to. "Eve arranged about going to school. I've paid my tuition for tho first month. It's a nice little business college, dad. He cried out her name at tli it, as if slic'd actually hurt him, and she stopped for a minute to see if he wanted to say anything more; hut it seemed he hadn't anything to say, Just yet. 'Em going to learn the typewriter first," slip went on. "The man says thnt part of it won't take very long. Theyve got the same kind of typewriters that you have at jmir otiiee.
