ARDETH CARROLL works in a shop and Is being wooed by Neil Burke. Her home life is far from pleasant eShe lives with an aunt and a snooping girl cousin. Riding with Neil, Ardeth is thrilled by the flattering gaze of handsome Ken Gleason, accompanying the wealthy Cecile Parker. He ia Ardeth’s idol. Jeanette Parker offers Ardeth a position in her new shop. Ardeth accepts, hoping to meet Ken. Heil objects, feeling Ardeth is growing away from him.
Ardeth’s Hope of Meeting Ken Is Finally Realized CHAPTER VI. THE shop lent an air of smartness which made it the vogue. They came in chattering groups to exclaim over the exquisite trifles, crowding the small shop beyond its capacity—fur-coated ladies smelling of expensive perfumes. Gentlemen with golf togs and Harvard accents—English accents—southern accents. There came one day Ken Gleason. It was late in the afternoon. Ardeth was crouching on her heels in the window marshalling the ivory elephants along the strip of satin. The picture reached out to arrest the young man as he started in the doorway and he stopped. A slim girl in black sitting back •n her heels. Lights beating down on her tawny hair turned it to a golden blot against the black satin drape behind her. She was like a black and gold and ivory tapestry come to life, thought the man. He found a sort of tender ridicule swelling up in his heart. Some thing sweet and absurd in the profound gravity with which she was arranging the ivory procession—lining up the smallest elephants with • slim forefinger—like a youngster playing with toys. Jeanette’s impatient voice broke in on his reverie. “Come on in, Ken! We don’t permit window shopping!’’ He had a flash of startled golden eyes sweeping up to meet his own through the plate glass as he obeyed, and he had a moment of excited surprise. The girl in the park! The girl who had looked at him so strangely that Sundaymorning! . “Well, what do you think of my shop?’’ asked Jeanette, avid for praise. He flashed an infectious grin at her. “Your window display can't be beat, Jennie?’ From the tail of his eye he eould see the girl in the window color exquisitely. Jeanette laughed. It pleased her to have Ken Gleason treat her with this camaraderie. She was three years older than Ken and she airily called him an "infant,” yet she liked—and made a bid for —the handsome young fellow’s approval. “Don’t tease the poor working girl, Ken! What brings you in here anyway?” “I’m sent to drive you home. A great honor is being conferred upon you. Miss Parker! I’m having dinner with you tonight. Mother and Cecile are outside in the car. Your dad wasn't ready to leave the office, but he told me to run away and pick you up on the way.” Jeanette’s restless eyes were roviqg over the shop as she put on her hat before the mirror. “Ardeth--better use the black fan in the case tomorrow. We've shown that flame one for two days. And put out those two enamel cigarette cases I bought today.” Ardeth! Under his breath the man tried it softly. A nam» which fitted her. Something mediaeval about it. It brought to his mind bits of his half-forgotten English course of college, Ardeth! Lovely ladies who wept alone on tower tops when their knighU rode off to war. Ardeth! what a golden thing she was! Where had Jeanette found her? When Ardeth had climbed out of the window Jeanette introduced her with that hint of pat-

ronrnre which she always showed an “outsider.” “Mr. Gleason—Miss Carroll!” She mumbled it because she was rouging her lips at the moment. “Ardeth’s my faithful Man Friday, Ken,” she explained, carelessly. “And, Ardeth, before you go, don’t forget to make sure the cash drawer's locked. Tony’s coming to wash the window and cases in the morning—perhaps you’d better get down a few minutes early. Oh. Ker.—the trials of a business woman!” She turned to him in mock despair. “Well, come on; let’s go—l'm exhausted and half starves 1” Strangely still seemed the little shop to the girl they left behind. She leaned on the top of a showcase and dreamed. “Your window display can't be beat.” The memory called up a dimple in her cheek. Leaning back on one elbow like that there had been an awkward grace about his tall, slim figure. But it was not good looks alone which formed the charm of Ken Gleason. Neil was tall and strong, too —Neil’s coarse, black hair—his black eyes and white teeth were good looking in their own way. Something further, thought the dreaming girl. Perhaps it was the odd effect of brightness about Ken. How the electric light had gleamed on his smoothly brushed brown hair. His eyes were startling blue in his tanned face. And when he smiled his lips had a queer whimsical twist on one side.' Crisp lips—what she thought of as “nard” lips. She wouldn’t like a man with “soft” lips. If Ken Gleason Kissed a girl his lips would feel firm and plesanL Ardeth suddenly caught sight of her own glowing eyes in the mirror opposite and her face flamed. “Oh, you poor fool!” she whispered. “As if he cared whether you were living or not!” Her imagination flashed a picture to torture her. Ken Gleason dining at the Parker’s big house on Jackson street. Ken’s brown head close to the straw colored marcel of Cecile Parker. His eyes laughing into Cecile’s. Suddenly weary, heavy of heart, Ardeth closed up the shop and stepped into a gray, foggy world. That night she went to a picture show with Neil. And wnen he kissed her goodnight later in the dark hallway, she was passive in his arms. Had Jeanette been less absorbed in her own affairs the next day, she might have noticed that her faithful Man Friday looked a trifle forlorn- There was a wistful droop to Araeth's young mouth. A very distinct dimming of the! flame-like quality about her. But Jeanette was happily absorbed with a perfumery salesman all morning, expanding to glowing importance under his subtle flattery. “He said my shop was smarter than anything he had seen west of New York, Ardeth,” she confided, when the wily salesman had left. “Said it reminded him of those exclusive little Parisian places. I ordered Mimosa and Narcisse Bleu —that’s always good. Anri for the more exclusive sale we’ll have Across the Fields, Intrigue and Idle Dream." Ardeth’s sensitive imagination caught at that. Idle Dream! Her gaze went across the store to meet her own golden gaze in the mirror and a scornful httle smile touched her lips. In the middle of the afternoon Jeanette hurried into her hat and furs. “I'm off to Mary Eastwood’s tea,” she explained. “Ardeth, I don’t see why we can’t mix different perfumes together and sell them as individual scents. That's an idea! I’ll run a small ad in the Sunday papers. ‘Have your per-

Ken-Kuowing Jeanette lias Left—Calls on Ardeth « sonality expressed in your elusive fragrance.’ I don’t believe most people can tell one scent from another half the time!” She went away with knit brows, contemplating the matter with the intense gravity of one who packs a world burden. At six, as Ardeth was closing the store, Ken Gleason walked in. “I came to drive Miss Parker home —” he explained easily. Nothing in the girl’s composed manner to betray the thumping at her heart when she saw his tall figure. “But she isn’t here. A tea— ’’ The face of the young fellow dropped and his tone was as regretful as though he had not heard Jeanette planning to do this very thing last night. “Always the way, when 1 try to be a good boy scout and do my good deed for the day 1” he said, plaintively, with a side glance to see if she would smile. "Well—see here, Miss Carroll—” as though the idea just presented itself, "don't you think you should sub for Jennie? Ah—don’t let my noble impulse count for nothing!" Girl-like her thoughts had flown to her clothes. This black georgette she had made to wear down here—that was all right. But her old blue coat with the matted fur collar—the fabric gloves. Have Ken see her at. such disadvantages? “Oh, no—-don’t bother. ... 1 catch my street car just a block below.” Then Ml of her convincing arguments were hollow. She was seated beside Ken in his blue car while he steered it through the six o’clock traffic. A melting Spring night. The last sunshine had just left the tops of tall buildings. The sky was a quiet, depthlcss green withf-littJe rosy ripples of cloud running through it like the pattern in moire silk. There was a salt tingle in the air which brought a picture of the ocean running high and green outside the Heads. Perhaps it brought that message to the man, for he turned the car with an inquiring little glance at the girl beside him. “A little ride out to the beach?” Then, as she opened her lips to protest, “Please—l’ll still get you home ■’’’ quickly as you could ride on a street car." “Not long then—” She settled back against the cushions filled with a breathless sense of happiness. Glorious, to be sitting here beside Ken Gleason—driving into the sunset. Just those two—closed away from the world like this in the cozy intimacy of the car. They talked and laughed — though what they said, why they laughed, she could not afterwards have told. Beneath her thoughts ran a tingling consciousness of his nearness. She stole little side glances at his intent profile as they rounded corners. That nice straight nose of his; she had an impish impulse to run her finger down it. Delicious laughter bubbled within her at the thought. Her own nose sniffed eagerly at the tweedy smell of his overcoat—at the smoke of his cigarette. Something thrilling in the capable way his thin brown hands grasped the wheel. And stealing another glance up at him she was confused to meet his eyes. “Know what I was thinking?” he asked earnestly. “I was thinking that your eyebrows are the same dark gold as a moth’s wing. Sort of tan gold, you know. Yes— he nodded his head with mock solemnity, “I shall take that for my name for you. How does that suit you—Moth?” They had laughed through sheer lightheartedness. Only when ths, man reluctantly turned the car about did a cloud come on their high spirits. (To Be Continued Monday) C«prrl«hl. lUO. W Um »>lure> tn.
