NOW (tO ON HUH THE STORE it a a CHAPTER XIV IT came to Mildred as a distinct shock that Harold vas looking like a ghost. She'd been too greatly preoccupied with her troubles to notice the change in him before it became pronounced. But one day ne stopped at her desk as usual and started his unending plea for a date and Mildred saw that the hand he put over the sheet of paper in her typewriter to make her stop working was decidedly unsteady. She looked up at him then in swift alarm. His face confirmed her fear that something was wrong w ith him. There were shadows around his sunken eyes and his skin was devoid of color. But it was the haunted, desperate expression of his eyes that startled her. Harold." she cried, and then hastily lowered her voice. "What is the matter?” Harold was surprised, taken of! his guard. Noth —ing, he stuttered. “What, do you mean?” "The wav you look!" Mildred exclaimed. "Has anything happened to you?” Harold had regained his poise. "Nothing has happened to me,” he said doggedly, "except, that I'm in p, fever over you, as always. If you’ve any desire to help me let’s have dinner together tonight and —” Mildred put a hand on his arm in an entreating gesture. "You'd better see a doctor." she said pleadingly. "You look terrible." Harold covered her hand with one of his own. “You’re all the medicine I need.” he declared. "If you'd give me a chance to tell you how I need you, Mildred . . "Please. Harold. People are looking." "Let 'em look. Unless you're afraid Stephen Armitage might happen along and get an eyeful,” he said caustically. “Don't be absurd,” Mildred retorted —too quickly. "Still thrilling to that poor animal cracker's love song, are you?” Harold pressed, made unpleasant with his biting jealousy. "Well, from all the observation posts I've occupied, it looks like he’s ; picked a balcony close to the dear old 1 e sweet home for his love scenes. Thought he had better judgment. Nothing but a Johnny, after all, tr? ""g. a girl like Pam." tt -t a “w you RE her brother,” Mildred I reminded him sharply. •All the better to know her,” Harold asserted. "But I'm not criticizing Pam She can't help it If her aura is golden and . . . sticky.

Crystal seated herself in the big:, clnntz-covered annshair in the bay wi ldov ot Cherry's living room, and took the post, which had excited George Pruitt to an artist's raptures the day before. Her large, transparent hazel eyes fixed upon the snowy landscape outside the window. Crystal gave lierselt up to speculation upon the problem of Tony Tarver and Dick Talbot. What had Tony made up her mind to do? Crystal wondered. How was she going to pay the debt which Dick Talbot, caddishly, but with evident sincerity, had pointed out to her that she owed him? Marrage—cr that other way? There must be some way to save Tony from either disaster. Crystal told herself. Sandy Ross? Tony adored him "I'd look an awful fool, telephoning to Sandy Ross to come rushing out here, uninvited, to interfere in Tony's a Hairs.” she told herself hopelessly. “In the first place. Sandy wouldn't come, and if he did. he'd probably say it was none of his business and go home again. And Tony would be furious with me for betraying her confidence . . . No, there must be some other way ■Nit . . Who is this Callie person?'’ "Please, don't frown. Crystal,” George warned. "Sorry," Crystal answered curtly. but she obeyed. Mentally, however. she went on frowning over the problem. She tried to recapture every word, every' intonation of the voice which Cherry had imitated. Cherry had said that the girl was crying, or had been crying, for her voice was “all choky and gaspy.” And Cherry, as she imitated the unknown girl's voice, had spoken in a pathetic, weak, trembling little voice: "Is—is Dick—l mean, is Mr. Dick Talbot there?” That meant that the girl normally called him Dick: that they were intimate friends, certainly'. What else had she said?—"Oh, please, please tell him to call Callie at the grocery store! You won't forget, will you. Mrs. Johnson? The grocery store! Tell him it's terribly important.” Crystal thought back over the scene at the luncheon table. Cherry's first reference to the grocerystore, her malicious suggestion that Dick owed a bill, had obviously puzzled the young man she was trying

A man ought to know better than to get caught in it." Mildred smiled wickedly. But : you spread the same lure in my way." she pointed out. "You'd buy what you want. too. if you could." Right If you can't love me I'd rather have you love my gold than fall for someone else. And I'm glad to hear you say you think Pam has bought her man. Knowing you. I’m . sure you won't continue to think , much of him.” "I didn't say anything of the kind! But maybe I do think she would if she could." "Then you believe Armitage loves her for herself alone?" Mildred made a sudden, broken gesture. “Let's not .. . talk about it,” she said weakly. She sat down again her desk chair and Harold leaned over her while -she furtively wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry," he said penitently, and I honestly hope Pam will give him the gate, but I can’t help loving you, Mildred. I know you won't have me just because my dad's money could make things easier for you, but that's no reason why you should refuse to have anything to do with me. We could have a good time while we're being miserable." Mildred fried to laugh and choked instead. Poor Harold. Well, at least he was braver than she. She looked up at him, about to say she would accept the invitation, whe she saw that he had taken his eyes from her face and had fixed them upon the elegant figure of Huck Connor who was just passing. When Harold looked at her again, Mildred saw that the haunted expression had returned to his face. Huck had nodded a brief greeting and gone on without pausing in his stride. He never came to Mildred's desk any more. In a heated argument with Harold, during which the boy had alternately threatened and begged, Huck had learned that Mildred suspected him—had suspected him from the first. it a a HAROLD had not. mentioned Huck to Mildred after that, and when she herself brought the man's name into the conversation he was evasive, Mildred, absorbed in her own unhappiness, had not kept herself informed upon Huck’s activities in the hotel. She saw him frequently with Pamela, but. so far as she knew, Pamela never went out w ith him alone. They danced together in the hotel and Huck often dined with Pamela. If Haiold chanced to be present he sat and glowered at Huck with hopeless venom, but Mildred knew nothing of that. Pamela knew that Harold had turned against Huck for some reason—he would not say why—but she made light of it. and of her brother's half-hearted orders to keep away from Connor. But Mildred was not thinking entirely of herself at the moment Harold's expression revealed his hatred and his terror of Huck. Her mind, already half-filled with concern for the boy. instantly associated Huck with the change in him. But she was too sensible to let Harold know she had discovered even that much. "Perhaps you're right,” she said in answer to his last remark. “No use inviting Old Man Gloom to ?ome sit on your chest. Where shall we go for dinner?” "Let's drive up to Westchester,” Harold suggested happily. "The

His blankness had not been assumed. Not until Cherry had mentioned the girl's name had he flushed darkly with confusion. Didn't that indicate—Crystal wondered—that Dick did not mentally associate a grocery store with the girl. Callie? The obvious explanation was that the girl's home, wherever it might be. had no telephone, that the neighborhood grocer would, when the need was urgent, send a message to her that she was wanted on his telephone. Only the poor knew such needs and were so kind to each other, Crystal decided. Hence “Callie” was probably poor, lived in some mean little neighborhood "across the tracks.” And her present need was urgent. Crystal sighed, quiveringly. "Tired?" George asked solicitously. Crystal shook her head and smiled brilliantly at the artist. Her sigh had been one of relief, not fatigue. If Dick Talbot was dishonorably entangled with "Collie,” then Tony—gallant, gay Tony—owed liirn nothing—nothing! (To Be Continued)

Bronx River Parkway is a regular itretch of fairyland now.” "I didn't know you believed in fairies." Mildred teased, watching him closely. Already the strain had gone a little from his young features and the sullen hatred from his sunken eyes. “You'd better run along now and let me finish my work,” she told 1 him, cheered to know she had the ; power to make someone happier. ■Be ready on the dot,” Harold j said before he left. Mildred worked fast, compelling! herself to put all thought of Harold and Huck out of her mind until, she was free to concentrate upon ; them without interference. Promptly when her day was done j she was ready to go with Harold, j There was just one thing she had ; to do—telephone to her mother. She j picked up the instrument on her desk and gave the number. "I'm going up to Westchester with Harold Judson.” she said when Connie answered her call. "Tell nother I'll be home late maybe.” n n tt H AROLD came up ill time to hear the last words. Mildred felt a little guilty over his exuberance. She had made up her mind to get the truth about Huck Connor if she could and she was prepared to stay out late to do it. "Looks like the beginning of a happy evening,” Harold told her. “I was afraid you'd want me to take you home when the curfew rang.” "It all depends upon you,” Mldred warned him. "Don’t make love to me and I'll be a regular Cinderella. Except that I haven't a ball dress.” “Want to stop at your place and change?” Harold asked. “Id like to. if you don't mind waiting, but there aren t any ball dresses in my wardrobe.” “You don't need fine feathers.” “That's a married man's line, Harold.” “But I'd like to dress you in . . “I know; it's sweet of you,” Mildred interrupted. "Come on: you know what's ahead of you before you get to Westchester.” “Policemen,” Harold groaned, "on every corner.” But in spite of the impediments to their progress they both enjoyed the drive to Mildred's home. "Wait down here; I'll be just a minute,” Mildred said at the entrance to her dwelling. Her minute grew into ten, fifteen, and then Harold went up to remind her that he was waiting. At first no one answered his ring at the door He pressed the button again, beginning to entertain a vague uneasiness. Presently he heard someone fumbling with the double lock: then the door was thrown open and Connie stood there in the hall with a white, frightened face and shaking hands that she put out impulsively when she recognized him. “Oh.” he cried, "we forgot all about you. Come in, please. Mother’s had an accident.” She stepped back and Harold entered the hall. "Where’s Mildred? he asked. “Have you called a doctor?” Connie nodded. “Mildred did. She told me to go down to you, but mother was suffering so it slipped my mind.” "Can I be of any service? Get anything from the drug store?" Harold inquired. "You might try. It's a very bad burn. We’ve put oil and flour on it and Dr. Brill will be here soon, but maybe the druggist could give | you something to relieve the pain i a little.” Harold was turning away when Mildred cried' out in terror from her mother's room.
