Celia is unsuccessful in her search for work and goes home. Mrs. Rogers arrives with a letter which she conceais from her daughter. Celia goes for a drive with BARNEY SHIELDS, a voung newspaper photographef who lives next "while the-? are gone Mrs. Rogers reads hr letter. It is signed "John Mitchell, and the writer offers to provide advantages of education, travel and socia position for the girl if Mrs. Rogers w give her up. Margaret declares she will never do this. Meanwhile, far awav on a country road. Shields takes Celia into his arms and kisses her NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THREE CELIA lifted starry eyes to Barney’s- She was trembling, but happy. Barney's arms held her rlose. His kisses were still warm on her lips. , , -Oh !” Celia whispered and could not go on. Shyly she dropped her head to nestle " against Barney's shoulder. Her cheek touched his. ‘'Celia,” Barney Shields was saying in a low voice that sounded far away, “‘you’re so sweet. Do you know that, honey? Know that I m crazy about, you’” , She would not, look up. Celia s mind was whirling This ecstatic happiness was frightening. But it was wonderful, too. Then Celia, remembered that letting a young man kiss you was supposed to be wrong. How could anything so pleasant as this be wrong? “Barney,'’ shfe said, raising her head, “you—we mustn't!” She drew away from him Instantly the youth was contrite "You’re not angry, are you? ’ he fopgged. “Why, Celia, you know i didn't— j mean, pleace don’t be angry! I couldn’t help it, Celia. You're juSt so sweet I couldn t help it.” Color was flooding the girl s cheeks slowly She kept her eyes downcast, being unable to trust herself to look at him. Barney misunderstood. He launched into one of the -longest speeches he had ever in all his life made. “Listen. Celia,” he said earnestly, “don’t, you understand? Oh, I know you’re really just a kid and I well, I haven’t any business expecting you to care for a dub like me 1 guess I should have known better. “But I’ve been crazy about you j ever since the first day I saw you j and after that when I got to know j you—well, I’ve liked you better all along. “Girls aren’t much in my line. Guess I never knew any of ’em very well before. Anyhow, you’re different from the rest. I didn’t mean to tell you all this the way I have. I don’t know what made me “I’m--well, I sort of forgot everything else except you being here beside me and the rest of the world such a long way off. Just you and me _and the stars up there—and he wind —I , “Celia. I’m not going to be a photographer all my life I don’t know how yet, but I'm going to be one of the men who boss things instead of taking orders! Some of these days I'm going to push up out of the order-taking crowd. Do you suppose some time, maybe you could care for me? Celia—do you?” a a a SHE wondered if he could hear how loud her heart was beating. “Barney,” the girl said, “you know I care about, you'” That did not satisfy him, “It isn't the way I mean.” Bar- i

I ney said quickly, “I mean, do you think you could care the way I do? I Do you think you could marry me?” Celia Rogers never had in her ; whole life thought seriously about ; marrying. She had entertained dreamy notions, as do all girls, of : the sort of home she would like some time for her own, how it would seem to go shopping in a | big car with a chauffeur and go ! to elegant parties with a husband vaguely imagined as rich and handsome. But she never really had thought ; about marrying any one—that is. any one she knew. After all, Celia, was not yet 18. i “Why, Barney,” she said, “you ! know I couldn’t marry any one—not for a long tirtle! I've got to : take care of mother. “She's worked and done everything for me all my life. Now it's my turn. I like you a lot, Barney. Better than—well, better than almost anybody ” “Honestly, do you? Say it over again!” “Honestly I do ” “And you aren't sore because I kissed you?” Celia shook her head negatively She admitted it a trifle reluctantly, but she was smiling. How could you help but smile with Barney looking at you like that? He kissed her then on top of her curling head, on her cheek and on the tiny lobe of her right ear, happening as it did to be conveniently located. “Barney, you're—you’re terrible!” Then they laughed and, having laughed, became sensible, practical young persons again. “Some day you're going to marry me,” Barney Shields declared firmly, “It may be a long time off, but you’re going to.” Celia looked out over the dark road ahead. She remembered that it must be growing verv late She said it was time for them to turn back. So Barney started the motor and turned the car about. Celia snuggled close beside him and let Barney keep his arm about her until they reached the thickly traveled highway. Dozens of other motor vehicles crowded before v and belling them and the girl drew away sedately. It seemed just a short ride before they were back at the flat again. Barney set the brake and threw oven the door of the car. They stepped out and walked slowly to the door. There were street lamps not a dozen yards away, but they were dim ones. No one else was in sight on the street. Quickly Barney Shields gathered the girl to him and

pressed a kiss rather crazily on her forehead. “Good night!” he said brusquely. Then lie turned and ran down the steps. a a a CELIA went, slowly up the two flights of stairs. She kept remembering just how Barney's eyes had looked before he kissed her, just how his voice had' sounded when he said those beautiful words. Celia thought they were beautiful. “You’re so sweet!”—that 'was what Barney had said. She was trying hard to look natural and matter of fact when she reached the third floor and pushed open the door of the apartmen f . “Anybody home?” Celia, called. tShe knew of course that there was. She could see her mother in the bedroom kneeling before a big trunk, the light shining over her shoulder. “In here!” Mrs. Rogers answered. “Did you have a nice ride?” “Oh. yes! it was lots cooler after we got out a way. There was a grand breeze. What have you been doing all this time?” , Mrs Rogers said she was just looking through some old things. Celia kept on talking. She hoped her mother had not noticed how late it was. She didn’t say any more about the ride or about Barney. It was lucky her mother had opened that old trunk! Whenever Mrs. Rogers did that she forgot all about time. Celia slipped out of her dress and moved about the room, finishing preparations for bed. Her mother was packing things back in the trunk now. There was a wooden box on the floor which was familiar, • “Oh—can I look at it?” “Yes, for a minute. I’ve got to get things back in here though.” The girl settled herself crosslegged on the bed and opened the wooden case. Once it had been an elegant jewel box and it still held treasures. Celia took out what she thought the prettiest one—a. small gold locket of old-fashioned design. Its two heavily engraved sides opened to reveal tiny glass surfaces. Beneath one was a ridiculous picture of Celia herself as a baby. The other side of the locket was empty. “Why didn’t you ever put another picture in here, mother?” she asked. “Oh, I—l don’t know.” Mrs. Rogers’ back was turned. Celia, busy with her own thoughts, had not noticed anything unusual about her mother’s manner. She

had not even noticed - that her mother’s eyes were red-rimmed. 1 The gold chain which once had held the locket had disappeared long since. So many other things, once lodged proudly in that jewel case, were gone now. There were beads left, a pair of silver filigree earrings, and Celia’s baby ring. There were a pair of yellowed satin buckles, once snow white, which had adorned dainty slippers, newspaper clippings, and other old things which to the girl seemed rather foolish. a a a “TTERE, let me take them now.” IT Celia gave the box back. She did not see the packet of yellowed letters which were placed tenderly in the trunk before the lid went down. Long after the light had gone out in the little third-floor bedroom that night Celia lay wide awake thinking about Barney, telling herself over and over how happy she was, wondering if Barney were thinking of her, too. He must be! Some day in the future they were going to be so happy together. Some day . At last she fell asleep. It was a heavy sleep from which she woke with a. start. Her mother had gone. DR.

Celia rose, dressed, gulped a- cup’ of coffee and was cut of the house. It was nearly 4 o'clock that afternoon when Celia Rogers hurried eagerly up the stairs leading to the fitting room of Margot's dress shop. She hardly could wait to tell herj news, “Why, where's mother?” she asked, pausing in the doorway.
