CHAPTER XLVIII “I thought you and Joan were sweethearts,” Ruth said slyly. Bill didn't raise his eyes from his plate, but the knuckles of his hand stood out whitely. “Where did you get that idea?” “Joan.” “I suppose one might call it that,” , he said after a pause, "I thought an awful lot of her anyway, when I I was a kid.” Her brown eyes were soft with sympathy. “There kid affairs,” she sighed. “Gosh, the times my young heart was broke!” She laughed I again. “I hope she will be very happy,” he said finally. "She's a fine girl. You know the man. don’t you? He has a mighty fine reputation—•” “Yes. I know him.” she said. Her thoughts were darting back and forth, scheming, planning, quickly —quickly—He is really an awfuli ly nice sort, and they’re frightfully in love—it embarrasses me to lock at ’em!” She saw him wince, but he spoke heartily enough. “Well, that’s the j way it ought to be. Can’t imagine ' anyone getting married if they're not in love. When is your wedding i coming off, Ruth?” “Mine! Listen to him—say. a fat ■ chance I have of getting married with the old ogre of a father of Rollo’s sitting on his money bags, growling like a bulldog with a sore tooth—” “Oh. come off that, Ruth. Old Man Keyes is a wonder —” “Wonder! Wonder of a tightwad ' —selfish old pig—” “Best friend I ever had. Ruth.” . She looked at him sharply. “Because he gave you a job, and made you work like heck—you dan't tell me—l know. Rollo himself said you I slaved for him—” , “Oh no—that isn’t so. He—welt —he’s been everything to me. I’d be riding a brakebeam this minute I guess if it hadn’t been for him. He-” “Say, he didn’t settle something on you. did he?” Her shrewd eyes searched him again. Bill had al- ■ ways looked prosperous, but there was a different air about him this trip. An air of assurance. He wasn’t a boy with a good job any longer, he was a man with an as- ■ sured future — she knew — she’d seen enough to know— He grinned, boyishly now. “Better than that. Want to hear about it?” “Os course, I do, Will’um—” She reached over and squeezed his hand, his nice strong hand, with the slender brown fingers. “We’re partners!” he laughed, and thumped his chest. “No!—ln partnership with Emmet Keyes—” “Oh. just on one deal—don’t get excited! Still it sounds good, doesn’t it? You see it was this way. j I—well—I kind of blew up after I went back. Rollo and I were hitting it up pretty high, Rollo trying to drown his sorrow, and I helping him and —well —the old man called me down. “He was al! in the right. Wanted me to go back to the oil fields and go to work. I got on the train all right, but I didn't get off at Bakersfield. I guess I had the itching foot. I wanted to hobo it. It—didn’t seem worth while working, at the time—” , "Boys will be boys,” Ruth murmured. (“As if I don’t know why, Bill Martin —all cut up over Joan’s engagement. I know—”) “But it didn't work out. I got sick of it. I begged a few meals—that woke me up, so I went to work, i ; Got a job around the oilfields for a while. There was some talk about I something doing out in Texas—that gave me an excuse to go on. To cut it short it wasn’t all talk, it looked like a big thing to me, and I thought i it might be my way of making up I to the old man for the raw deal I'd handed him. walking out without any reason, so I beat it back and—” “William Martin, do you mean to say you struck some rich oil propoI I sition. and you’re in on it with Old j | Man Keyes—-” 1 “Well—it may not amount to so much,” he said with a little deprei eating grin. “Still, it’s a big thing for me, getting in with Keyes like

| that —he’s a prince, Ruthie. When i ,: you know him better—” "I’m never going to know him any . better not if I see him first!” “Oh, come, come—don't you see . f that all this will put Rollo on his ! feet too? You didn’t think I'd forget a bal, did you? Why Ruth, it won’t be any time before you and ' Rollo—” She leaned over and took his hand again. "Will’um—don’k Don’t say any more until I tell you—something--” "Whv Ruth-.you aren’t crying! . Well, for—” She nodded, her big brown eyes brimming. “You're darn right I am. WilT’um—l didn’t want to tell you—but dam it—l’ve got to—" Bill had forgotten now pretty she was, with her lovely pink skin, and her round brown eyes, soft and appealing now, brimming with tears. He squeezed her hand, comfortingly, and the tears overflowed, rolled pathetically down her cheeks. “It’s about Rollo,” she said, between sobs. “Well, you don't have to worry about him. He’ll be faithful to the judgment day.” “That’s just it—l’m not going to wait for any man till the judgment day. I’m getting tired of it He has no right—” “But Ruth, I was just telling you —this new deal with Keyes—” She made a little face, and dabbed at her eyes with a wisp of handkerchief, “Bill, I’m trying to tell you. and you keep interrupting. Rollo’s a good kid—l—l’m crazy about Rollo—but he put me off too long. I’ve lost inC-rest, Will’um. I’ve lost my fine enthusiasm for being Mrs. Rollo Keyes. I—” "What! Oh now. Ruth—you wouldn’t go back on Rollo—” “Go back on him! Would you call it that, when I’ve sat around waiting on him for a year and a half, getting gray hair —and now you tell me he’ll wait till the judgment day. It’s too much,” she murmured, laughing and crying at the same time. "Don't be absurd, Ruth—” “Absurd! I was never so serious in my life. Will’um, we’re such old friends, I can tell you. I could tell you anything. I don’t know why— I fell for you the first time I ever saw you—” “My fatal beauty.” he laughed, but the laugh was hollow. He wriggled uneasily. Why didn’t the waiter come? “Gosh, it's hot in here —shall we go?” “Not just yet—wait till I finish, Will’um. Oh, I know what you’ll say—but I don’t care. I’m going to tell you the truth. Bill, when I get married it’s going to be for one of two things—love—or money. A whole lot of money. Go on—call me a gold-digger!” She gulped, and two more tears rolled down her cheeks. “So you don’t love Rollo,” he said slowly. “I never said I did.” “But he thinks you do—he thihks the world and all of you, Ruth, don’t you think you could ever—” he broke off nervously. “I wish you hadn’t told me—” She came and stood beside him, her lovely face close to his. “But there's no one else I could tell it to, Will’um—nobody at all. You’ve got to help me out of this. I don’t know what to do. Oh. darn that waiter—always poking his ugly mug in here —come up to my room vvhere we can talk.” “But I couldn’t tonight, Ruth.” “Some other girl—l know—” “Two other girls,” he smiled, and looked at his watch. “I’ve got to meet a fellow in fifteen minutes and I ought to dash up to the hotel and dress first—” “You look very beautiful now-r” “Just time to put you in a taxi and send you home.” “But when am I going to see you i again, Will’um? You know what I Rollo is when he gets his mind on anything—you’ve got to help me—- ’ I haven’t anybody else. Tomorrow i —come tomorrow—” “I couldn’t tomorrow—” I “Will’um, are you trying to ditch me?” > “No, but I couldn’t come then. The day after—will that do?” ; “I suppose so, bye-bye, Will’um, 1 honey—see you Friday!”

W'rling. Jolhi Brown was a dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Weldy Sunday. Mrs. Richard Bogner and son Sammy of Decatur and Mrs Edgai I Zimmerman and daughter of Preble - called on Mrs, Ralph Straub Fri-i day afternoon. Air. and Mrs. R. J. Mann and run i Wend-II spot Tuesday tn Fort, Wayne. Mr. afed Mrs. Homer Dillman oil Texas called on Mrs. Wm. Johnson and family Wednesday.

I The taxi chugged away, her | bright face at the window blurred and was gone. Slowly ho walked to the hotel, buying all the evening papers on the way. One of them might have a picture of Joan. * • * The Farley's dinner was owr early, thank goodness. Joan came in yawning, although it was just half past ten. “Ooh. I’m sleepy. They’re the dullest people I ever met in my life. But old. old friends of the Barstows. so we had to go. I'm dead for sleep. So's Curtis. He's so tired he’s cross—Curtis ” She laughed unsteadily. “Can you imagine Curtis being cross, Mai- 1 sie?” "Well, most men get that way l once in a while—” “Yes, but Curtis isn't most men! ' < You know it sort of strikes me funny in away. I’m almost glad he does get cross—shows he’s got his l failings like me. It almost scares ' me sometimes—he's so good. And the things his mother tells about him! He’s certainly been a wonderful son to her—” “Why don’t you go to bed if you’re sleepy?” Maisie asked sensibly. “The one night you could get a little rest, you stand around and talk!” "But I wanted to tell you about the week-end. Maisie. would you be very lonely if I went up to the cabin with Curtis—” “If you what?” “Oh. Maisie—you do look so funny!” Joan dropped into the rocker, and shook with laughter. “Oh, dear—l’m so tired I’m foolish. The cabin in the Santa Crus mountains where we were at Thanksgiving. Mrs. Barstow and Mrs. Cunningham, I think—soma friend of hers anyway—and another couple, the Lairds, I believe. Won’t it be great? A whole week-end, and not a formal dinner!” She laughed again, and yawned. “I hope we have lots of picnics—you won’t be lonely. Maisie?” Maisie beamed. “Well—if that don’t work out just fine. Here I had a letter from Gerald, that's my oldest boy in Stockton, asking me for their wedding anniversary on Saturday. They’re going to have quite a time. I was thinkin' I might go. I’ve never even seen little Geraldine —imagine me a grandmother!—an’ I I can put up with Alice —that’s Gerald’s wife, for a couple of days, though what he ever saw in that girl, piano legs, an’ a voice like a foghorn—” Packing. The small flat was in I an uproar. Packages. Expressmen. I Delivery boys. Maisie was equipped , for six months at the North Pole, instead of three days at Stockton. Gifts for baby Geraldine. Gifts for Gerald. Gifts for the despised ' Alice. She’d never make the train . . . never . . . but all of a sudden the fattest suitcase clicked shut, with just a little piece of kimono sticking out. and she was ready, all i her packages and bags around her, I and the taxi man waiting at the door. "Goodbye, dearie . . . have a good time yourself .. . you won’t be lonesome if you get home liefore I do? You better call up Mis’ Harvey, an’ have her come stay with you . . . well, it’s all right if you don’t want 1 her . . . goodbye . . . goodbye!” Maisie was on her way! Joan threw open all the windows, ' letting the morning air in with a rush. Whew! What a fuss. She finished her own packing , luxuriously, enjoying the beautiful solitude, the leisurely ticking of the I clock, the feel of the fuzzy white sweater she was folding into her bag, the look of the sturdy flat- i heeled shoes that would be just the I thing for hikes with Curtis while the bridge fiends played. . . . Curtis . . . her mouth twitched. She sank, in an ungraceful little heap on the floor beside the open suitcase, looking at it with unseeing eyes. “Oh Curtis . . . dear ... if I can only make up Jo you—for everything—and forget. . . forget everything else . . Brrr . . . Brrr . . . Brrr . . . The telephone, gangling, insistent. (To Be Continued Tomorrow)
