THIS HAS HAPPENED SALLY FORD, ward of the sttae orphans’ home since she was 4, ig "farmed out" to CLEM CARSON thi summer she is 16. She meets DAVID NASH, a student, who is working on the Carson farm during vacation. David hits Carson when he makes evil remarks about his friendship for Sally. David and Sally run away and join a carnival. David as cook's helper and Sally as "Princess Latla," crystal gazer. In Capital City, location of the orphanage, Sally is recognized by one of a crowd of orphans, chaperoned by a beautiful woman. Quick work by the barker saves Sally. She learns from ARTHUR VAN HORNE, an easterner, who annoys her with his attentions, that the chaperone is ENID BARR, waelthy New York matron. In another state,, Sally and David believe danger of detection by the police is over, and go freely about. One day Sally finds herself confronted with MRS. STONE, matron of the orphanage. David and Sally run away from the carnival and in the county seat are “half-married” when Mrs. Stone and Enid Barr rush in and stop the ceremony. Enid confesses that she is Sally’s mother and that she believed until only recently that her child was dead. Sally clings to David. Enid, however, takes Sally away with her to Kansas City, where Sally meets COURTNEY BARR, the judicial-mannered husband. Barr tells her she cannot come into their home for two years and that during that time she will attend a southern finishing school. At the end of two years he proposes to adopt her and introduce her into New York society. Facing two years more of loneliness and of belonging to no one, Sally is forlorn and sad and Enid comforts her by promising to invite David to her comingout party two years hence. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLIII It was a desolately unhappy Sally who began what she considered the unbearable task of living those two years which Courtney Barr had decreed should separate the orphan, Sally Ford, from the society debutante, Sally Barr. A dozen times, at least, during those first few weeks she would have run away, straight to David Nash, if she had not given her word of honor, both to her mother and to her mothers’ husband. But, almost insensibly, she began to enjoy life again. It was a soulsatisfying experience to have an apparently unlimited supply of spending money and the most beautiful wardrobe of any girl in the little Virginia city to which Courtney Barr had taken her. For many days almost every mail brought her a package from New York, addressed in Enid Barr’s surprisingly big handwriting. She and her mother wrote each other twice a week, and Enid early formed the habit of sending her a weekly budget of clippings from the papers about the social set In which the Barrs moved so brilliantly—‘‘so you will become acquainted with the names of those who will be your friends,” as Enid wrote her daughter. Gradually the unreality of her new position and of her future expectations wore off arjd Sally came to regard herself as 5 really the daughter of the Courtney Barrs. She lived for the rest of the summer with Courtney Barrs third cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Barr, who were glad of both the money and the companionship which Sallybrought them. To their friends, the Charles Barrs explained that Sally was an orphaned cousin, and the story apparently was never questioned. She was accepted cordially by the carefree young people of the small city’s best social set, and was sometimes ashamed of the pleasure she had in being a popular, well-dressed, pretty young girl. She reproached herself for not mournbing constantly for David, but she knew that not for an instant were her loyalty and love for him threatened by her strange new experiences. And, although she had given her promise not to write to David, she composed long, intimate letters to him every week, putting them away in her trunk in the confident belief that he would some day read them and love them, because she had written them. She told him everything in these letters she could not send—told him

of the two or three nice boys who declared their puppy love for her; confessed, with tears that blistered the pages, that she had let one of them kiss her, because he seemed so hurt ac her first refusal; described her new clothes with childlike enthusiasm tucked snapshots of herself in the enchanting new dresses between the folded pages; in fact, poured out her heart to him far more unaffectedly than would have been possible if she had been mailing the letters. Not feeling at all that she was breaking her promise, she subscribed to The Capital City Press and to the college newspaper, avidly searching them for any news of David and jealously hoarding the clippings with which her diligence was rewarded. In this way she learned that he was elected president of the junior class that he "made” the football eleven as halfback that—and she almost fainted with terror—that he was slightly injured during the Thanksgiving game, when A. & M. beat the State University team in a bitterly fought contest. By that time she was in the finishing school which Courtney Barr had chosen for her, and was herself becoming prominent in school activities through her talent for dramatics. When David's college paper printed a two-column picture of her sweetheart she cut it out and framed it. The greatest joy she had that first year of her new life was to hear the other girls rave about his good looks and his athletic record, of which she bragged swaggeringly.

During the spring term she was chosen by the dramatic director to take the lead in the schools last play of the year, ‘‘The Clinging Vine.” Sally Ford, or Sally Barr, as she was known at the school, was again happy "play-acting.” Enid and Courtney Barr came down from New York for the play and for commencement exercises, though Sally would not graduate for another year. It was the first time she had seen her mother since they had parted in the little mid-west-em town where Enid had found Sally being married to David Nash. “But how adorably pretty you are!” Enid exclaimed wonderingly, when she had the girl safe in the privacy of her own suite in a nearby hotel. "I wanted to nudge every fond mama sitting near me and exult, ‘That’s my daughter! Isn’t she beautiful? Isn’t she a wonderful little actress?’ Are you happy, darling?” Sally, her cheeks poppy-red with excitement and pleasure in her success in the school play, twirled lightly on the toe of her silver slipper, so that her pink chiffon skirt belled out like a ballet dancer's. “Happy? I’m thrilled and excited right now, and happy that you’re here, but, sometimes I’m lonely, in spite of my new friends—Oh, mother,” she cried, catching Enid’s hands impulsively, - “won’t you let me go back with you and Mr. Barr now? I want to he with someone I belong to! I don’t fit in here, really. I —l guess I’m still Orphan Sally Ford inside. I’m always ex-

pecting them to snub me, or to taunt me with being an orphan.” Enid’s eyes filmed over with tears, but she shook her head. “We must try to be patient, darling. I’m at home with girls like these —girls who have always had money and social position culture. It’s a loathsome word, but I don’t know any better one for what I mean. Don’t you see, swetheart? Mother wants you to be ready for New York when you come, so that you will be happy, not timid and ill-at-ease. Court was really very wise. I’ve ocme to see that now. Please try to be patient, darling.” “And this summer?” Sally quivered. “He said I could be with you at your Long Island home—” But Enid was shaking her head again, her eyes infinitely fond and pitying. “I’m going abroad, dear. I haven't been very well this winter—just tired from too much gayety, I think. The doctors advise a rest cure in southern France. I want you to go to a girls’ camp in New Hampshire. It’s really a part of your education, social and physical. I want you to ride and swim and hike all summer, with the sort of girls whom you’ll be meeting when you do join us in New York. "You’re to learn to play golf, perfect your game of tennis. By the way, I want you to go to as many house parties on your holidays as you can. Learn to flirt with the college youngsters you’ll meet; be gay, don’t be—’’ “Institutional,” Sally interrupted in a low voice as she turned shorply away from her mother. It was almost a relief to the girl when Enid was gone. Her mother’s exquisite, fragile beauty, her unconscious arrogance, her sophistication, her sometimes caustic wit, formed a barrier between them, in spite of the almost worshipful love that Sally felt for her.

Enid, when she was with her, somehow made the 17-year-old girl feel gawky, underdone, awkward, shy. Those cornflower blue eyes, when they were not misted with tears of affection for this daughter whom she had so recently discovered, seemed to Sally to be a powerful microscope trained upon all her deficiencies, enlarging them ! to frightening proportions. She knew that in these moments ot critical survey, her mother was looking upon her, not as a beloved daughter miraculously restored to her. but as a future debutante, bearer of the proud name of Barr, and as a pawn in the marriage game as it is played In the most exclusive cricles of New York society. And Sally squirmed miserably, pitifully afraid that she would never measure up to the standard which her mother and Courtney

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Barr had set for her, knowing, too deep in her heart, that she did not want to. For her heart had been given to a golden young god of a man, whose kingdom was the soil, and whose wife needed none of the qualities which Enid Barr was bent upon cultivating in her daughter. But twelve years of implicit obedience to the authorities at the orphanage had left their indelible mark upon Sally Ford, who was now Sally Barr. She would do her best to become the radiant, cultured, charming, beautiful young creature whom Enid Barr wanted as a daughter. And since she had Enid’s letters to help her, the task was not so impossible as it had seemed to her. For in the letters Enid was more real as a mother than she could yet be in actual contact. The fat weekly envelopes were crammed with love, material advice, encouragement, tenderness. Sally sometimes had the feeling that through these letters of her mothers she knew Enid Barr better than anyone had ever known her. And she loved her with a passionate devotion, which sometimes frightened her with its intensity. Gazing at David’s picture, clipped from the college newspaper, she wondered, with a cruel pain banding her heart, if this almost idolatrous love for her mother would ultimately force her to give up David. If it should ever come to a choice oetween those two well-beloved, what should she do , Sometimes she agonized over the fear that David might have ceased to love her, might have found another girl, might even be married. Sometimes her hands shook so as they spread out the flat-folded sheets of the college newspaper, and of the Capital City Press that she had to clasp them tightly until the spasms of fear subsided. And each time the relief was so great that she sang and laughed and danced like a joy-crazy person. The other girls jeered at her goodnaturedly because she was always singing, “I’ll be loving you—always!”

But she did not care. It was her song—and David's. She followed with that obedience so deeply implanted in her every phase of the program which Enid and Courtney Barr had mapped out for her. She went to the girls’ camp in New Hampshire and returned to school in Virginia that fall strong and tanned and boy-ish-looking, and was able to report to Enid that she could swim beautifully, if not swifly; could ride gracefully, could hold her own decently in a hard game of tennis, could play golf well enough not to be conspicuous on the links. During her last term at the finishing school she obediently paid a great deal of attention to her dancing, to drawing room deportment, and to her own beautiful young body, learning to groom it expertly. And during the Christmas and Easter vacations she netted three proposals of marriage, from brothers of classmates in whose homes she visited. She learned, homehow, to say “no” so tactfully that her suitors were almost flattered by her refusals as they would have been if she had accepted them. Enid and Courtney Barr came

down from New York to see her graduate, and with them they brought the news of her legal adoption. “A surprise, too” Enid chanted, swinging her daughter’s hands excitedly. “Court and I are going to take you to Europe with us thife summer, and keep you away from New York until almost time for you to make your debut.” “Europe!” Sally was dazed. Her first thought was that Europe was so far away from Capital City and David. He was getting his diploma now, just as she was getting hers

—“Oh, Mother, you haven’t forgotten your iromise, have you?” Enid frowned slightly, abashed by Sally’s lack of enthusiasm. “Promise, darling?” “That I could invite David to my coming-out party?
