ARDETH CARROLL is just a shopgirl, leading a very simple life, but her ideals are high. She looks beyond the drab existence marriage to Neil Burke would mean. Seeing handsome Ken Gleason with Cecile Parker, society belle. Axdeth's heart leaps. When Cecile's sister. Jeanette, opens a specialty shop, she asks Ardeth to take charge. Ardeth meets Ken at the shop. Shortly after, knowing Jeanette has left for the day, Ken calls, feigning he had planned to drive Jeanette home. He asks Ardeth to go instead. Ken plans a foursome of Ardeth, Jeanette. Tom Corbett and himself. Jeanette and Tom are unable to go, so Ken is alone with Ardeth. They picnic together, their hearts racing with each other’s nearness. Ken kisses Ardeth.

CHAPTER IX. THE ark was casting a long 1 sunset shadow, the air was cool and the bay had taken , on a cold violet tinge when Ardeth 1 and Ken left the little duck shack. Something of sadness touched 1 the girl as they walked over the ' plank runway to where the blue j automobile waited on the road. Some minutes after thty had | 1 started she looked back. The ark ■ was almost swallowed up in the im- . ■nensity of the marshes. Small... 1 •emote . . . Already a thing of ■nemory. .. like this golden day—ike Ken’s first kiss. . . . She had had her perfect day . . . :he wistful words of the song stealing into her mind, weaving themselves witli the wide marshes and the sad sunset light. She did not realize she was singing them until she heard Ken’s pleasant baritone humming beside her. "When you come to the end of a perfect day ... And you sit alone with your thoughts ” Ken’s arm went around her. Her cheek brushed the shoulder of his coat. Something pleasantly masculine about that rough tweed ... “For memory has painted the perfect day— In colors which will not fade, And you find at the end of a perfect day— The heart of a friend you've made . . Glancing down, Ken caught the glint of tears on her lashes. He stopped the car and tilted her face with one hand. “You funny, adorable cry baby!” She smiled but kept her eyes stubbornly shut. “It’s just the sunset and—and all. It is just that it seems too beautiful to last ...” The words went on echoing in the man’s mind long after they had been spoken. They wove into the humming of the engine, persisting like the blowing of a lonely wind. They stopped for dinner at a roadside tavern —a rambling frame house half hidden in live oaks. Over a small corner table they faced each other. The upflung gleam of candle-light touched the girl’s face to glowing rose and made a golden nimbus of her hair, i and again the young fellow felt his | heart moved by her unusual beauty. Ken had remembered this road louse from his college days. Colege days ... a time which now teemed to be very remote—tanalizingly carefree. Unthinkable hat life could change so in such i comparatively short time! A few years in the world and a fellow was bound—soul and body. Rebellion surged in him. Unfair—that fate could get a man in a straight jacket of circumstances so that he could not carry out his own desires . . . They talked and laughed, as they had done earlier in the day. but something of that first tingling joy was gone. Ardeth slept on the boat going back to the city, curled up on the seat like a tired child, one cheek pillowed on his arm. The man sat looking down at her and his face was very sober. Sweet little kid. Something touching in her utter trust of him. He’d have to be careful. He could so easily make her care for him. Ca-e deeply . . . and she could so . Mly be hurt. Funny, this protenderness she could rouse in him. Oh, God— >hy couldn’t a man live his life to suit himself. Thrum! thrum! thrum! Those were the engines underfoot. Something like life, this ferry ride. A brief passage between ports—the thrumming of a mighty heart.

Then the heart stopped pumping and you were on the other side. Here! Snap out of it! Nothing very original about that thought — and what a gloom he was getting to be! They were getting in — the creaking piles sliding by the dark windows, Ken looked swiftly around to make sure no one from the surrounding cars could see. then he leaned down and woke Ardeth with a hasty kiss. At the street corner where he had parked that morning Ken stopped the car. Words were strangely lacking between them. The girl’s heart was crying out to know when she would see him again. When he would call her up. But words wot£ ~ot come to her lips. He kissed her good-by, not with the fire of a few hours before, but gently—a kiss somehow wistful. Then she was standing alone on

the pavement, watching the red i tail-light of his car turn around the cornep—an< there was a little forlorn ache in her heart. By morning her spirits had lifted. Another day. Ken would be in—his tall figure, white smile bringing the brisk outside air into the heated shop. Memories keeping her company —closing out the reality of the gray flat—oi the crowded street car—-Ken’s vivid face poised over her own—his eyes tender and laughing between narrowed lashes. Life surging on in a rush of happiness again. She had been a trifle apprehensive about facing Jeanette this morning. What would Jeanette ask? How much should she tell . her? But Jeanette was gratifyingly full of her own plans today. She had little time and less patience 1 for another girl’s romance. She had conceived the idea of : turning the back room of the shop 1 into a “smokerie.” ”A place where women can drop i in when they’re downtown shopping, and have a chat and a cigarette, Ardeth. If we have Tony ■ move the empty crates out of the . basement we’ll use that for store

room, and this other is just so much waste space now.” The room behind the main shop was a long, narrow apartment, with one wihdow looking out on a dreary little alley. But Jeanette's spontaneous energy was equal to the task. She paced the floor all day in a fine frenzy of creation. “I’ll have the window painted | and draped. Put in couches and • soft-shaded lamps and thick rugs . —make it like an Oriental den. ,

We’ll serve orange pekoe tea free, . and charge them fancy prices for cigarettes—remind me to lay in a stock of holders and enamel cases. Ardeth. And it will move ths goods in the front shop, too!” Ardeth listened, applauded, suggested. No one watching her would have guessed that her heart was aching. That ail of life had ■ gone flat and gray before her sick 1 eyes. Three o’clock . . . four o’clock ... six o’clock. The day drag.-ed by interminably, and Ken did not come in. Nor did he come the next <iay i . . . Nor the next. In the days which followed that ! golden Saturday Ardeth tasted the dregs of humiliation. She had been a fool! She had fallen in love with a man who cared nothing for her. What had been to her a glorious dream had been to him merely another neck-

ing party. Memory flashed pictures to torment her. Ken’s eyes smiling down into her own . . . His voice murmuring, “Like me a little?” How fervently she had clung to him . . . “Oh . . . Oh!” She pressed her hands to her hot cheeks in shame. He thought her cheap . . . that was why he had not come into the store . . . Her own wretched face stared forlonly back at her from the glass. Why had she been so eager? She must have been crazy to act so . .. But, oh, how cruel—how needlessly cruel he was! She hated him . . . almost as much as she hated herself. Life was flat and miserable. Days were endless — nights were worse. She tossed with unhappy dreams until Bet loudly complained, or she lay staring wideeyed and miserable into the dark long after the rest of the family had fallen asleep. She lashed herself up to a sort of seif-scorn. “Well, what else could she expect? Did a man have to marry a girl simply because He took her on a Sunday outing and gave her a few careless kisses?
