WHAT HAS HAPPENED So FAR. Joan Hastings, seventeen and beautiful, lives a secluded life with her two old maiden aunts in a house long run to seed. Aunt Evvie, discovering that Joan has visited a dance hall, angrily tells Joan she it just like her mother and threatens to reveal the skeleton in the family closet. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER 2 Ewie leaned forward, her heavy black brows drawn together. “ Tell you! Yes, I’ll tell you. It’s high time you took warning. You’re your mother’s daughter. You’re Veronica Van Fleet all over again. I can see it. You’re beginning to act like her. She was boy crazy. She danced her way to the devil. I promised my mother on her deathbed I’d see you didn’t go the same way, and I will—if I have to send you to a reform school to do it.” “What way—what did my mother do 7” “Oh, God in heaven!” moaned Babe. “Look down upon these thy—” “Oh, shut up, Babe. Babe doesn’t want me to say your mother stole Peter Hastings away from her, though why, after all this time—” “Ew-ie—please—please—” “Aunt Babe and my father—” Joan faltered. “Engaged.” Evvie snapped. She was enjoying it now. She was getting even with the dead Veronica at last; Veronica who was too beautiful; Veronica who had stolen Babe’s beau, who had broken her father’s heart and disgraced them all—been the cause of all the bad luckwished Joan on them . . . She took another look at the slender, panting girl in the shiny old blue serge. Slender and round as a willow branch. The same creamy skin. The same sea-green eyes. “Look out you don’t end like your mother!” she finished. “But how? You haven’t told me. You’ve got to now—” “All right!” Ewie spread her broad palms. “You asked. Your mother was bad—that’s what. She used to sneak out and meet Peter in the rose garden after she was told to go to bed. She was only sixteen. Papa found them there one night —seems like yesterday—Veronica with Babe’s blue dressing gown with the white swansdown trimming over her nightgown, crying in the hall, and mama fainting—” “But if they loved each other why didn’t everybody let them be engaged?” “She was too young!” Ewie came back from the past with a bang. Her thin nostrils quivered. “Papa sent her away to school, and made Peter ship on a sailing boat—the Hesperance. It was burnt in the China Sea ... It was then that we learned Veronica had married Peter secretly. Anyway Peter was at the bottom of the China Sea, he and his ship, burnt to a crisp, and Veronica did just what you might have expected of her. She sent you home for us to take care of, and jumped off a ferry boat, coming over from the city. Well, that ought to hold you for a while. I guess I’ll go to bed. You’d better come too, Babe!” And she strode majestically from the room, quite herself again, leisurely impressive, all her anger forgotten. Blrnnp, blump—her heavy footsteps going up the stairs. Then Joan’s. Slow, heartbroken her little world fallen about hei ears. Up the stairs, into her room, How queer she looked in the mirroi . . . her eyes looked so dark in hei pale face . . . with her hair all mussed . . . Did “bad girls” look that way? She knelt by the bed, and cooled her hot face on the flesh white counterpane. How she hated Aunt Ewie and how she hated herself for believing Aunt Evvie-

The little porcelain miniature of Veronica—of. Veronica at sixteen—i was strained close to her heart. The d little mother she had never known. e Her pretty one. Her dear one. “Aunt Evvie is a liar, a doublea dyed, twenty-times, liar, I know she e is!” she whispered to the little min- - iature, so oddly like herself. “I e don’t believe her—don’t you know 1 don't—wherever you arc?” And she cried because it wasn’t any use. Something in Ewie’s cold dark eyes, something in Babe’s pitiful clutching hands had told her. It *] wasn’t a lie. It was the truth. , The breeze from the bay swept r in coolly, lifting the long Swiss curt tains, caressing her tear-stained a cheek. It brought with it the tang ’ of sea things, a hint of tar, a breath r of some aromatic shrub from the l garden. Then sweetly, overpowx eringly fragrant, the smell of the . wet, purple lilacs, l Joan sprang to her feet. “I don’t care if it is true!” she cried, r “It’s a real love story—l’m proud I’m a Hastings! No wonder he loved 1 her—she was beautiful and fine and * wonderful! I love her too—more t than ever—l do—l do—” - Again the little salty gust from . the bay, the little whispering of the leaves in the rose garden under the window, the heavy scent of the lilacs. Romance rode on the breeze. Veronica, the little dead mother, - was nearer than she had ever been, * and dearer. Joan reached out her arms. “I am like you!” The old mirror over * the dresser flung back her image, s starry-eyed, aflame with the first 1 consciousness of her own beauty. “Why we look exactly alike! And I will be like you—they can't stop me ! from it! I will! 1 will!” • « * f Joan sat at her bedroom window, trying to study. The dog-eared r geometry was propped up before her, but the big French window _ overlooking the garden was before her, too. And the garden was full r of fragrance. Little rustling noises r in the budding rose trees down be--9 low. A big yellow and black buttor- •, fly on the very top of the tallest j white rose bush. Blue jays scolding in the big pine tree near the hedge, t “The square of the hypotenuse—--1 the square—” I The printed page blurred. It’s so . hard to put your mind on geometry [j when you’ve just lost your best friend. Hilda Sedgwick was mad at j her—mad clear through. “Why can’t you walk up to the Point with me?” Hilda demanded e hotly as they were coming from ~ school. a "Aunt Evvie—” e “Oh, I know, vou can’t ever do e anything that’s any fun, but good e night, Johnnie, don't you ever have e to get botany specimens the same as d I do at school, and won’t she have s to let you do that?” lt “Yes, bub—” j y “Well, why can’t we do it tou gether?” e “I—l have mine already. I got e them early — before school this t, morning—” I, “Johnnie Hastings! And you >. never said a word to me! You r passed right square by my house too!” n “It was awfully early.” i- “Oh, all right—if you don’t want r- to go with me it’s all right. You seem to have changed all of a sud- ;- den though." “Hilda- I haven’t I do want to l, go —only—” r “Only what?” Hilda’s dark eyes ). were snapping. Her broad shoul>r ders in their white woolly sweater -r were thrown back, haughtily. II They were an odd pair: tnick-set k Hilda in her smart sport clothes, and tall, slender Joan in her shiny d blue serge, made out of an old coat i- of Aunt Babe’s, bit they loved each e, other. They always had, in spite of Aunt Evvie’s expressed objections, ! and Mrs. Sedgwick’s amusement of
