Yesterday: Corey consents to bring ‘Dan to his party and vows that he'll ‘beat Sally at her own game, for Dan surely can be no rival now. :

CHAPTER ELEVEN

ALLY thought that Saturday] | night never would. come. Suppose Corey did not succeed in persuading Dan to come with him when it did? Her birthday party would be a failure. . To see Dan was the only gift she wanted. She received many other presents, a cunning little wrist watch, set with diamonds, from her adoring father, and a new riding horse, ~ which she christened Lucky: Star, because of a star-shaped white spot on the mare’s head. Flowers from Corey, red roses, which she knew were supposed to stand for love. . Some exquisitely embroidered hankies from Babe, a huge box of sweets from Pudge. { Sally spent a lot of time trying to plan a party that somehow would be different; a party in which Dan, if he came, could join. She did not want it to be the usual noisy rad-de-da, like so many others, She wished ‘the season had been later so that it could have been held out-of-doors. Deciding on the next best bet, she finally made up her mind to hold it in the big barn. A barnyard party, it should be, in every detail. Hay stacked in the corners, spread over the floor, lanterns hung from high rafters, an artificial sliver of-a moon. A hillbilly orchestra would furnish music | and entertainment. i A midnight feast would be served; - guests were to wear their oldest clothes. There were to be games -of every description, some that would be new, others that everyone had played in childhood. 2 u ” SaL® never looked prettier than she did in her old-fashioned ‘checkered: gingham dress, a wreath of daisies in her dark curls, her eyes bright, her cheeks flushed as she] welcomed her guests. Corey. was : late. But that was not unusual He never got anywhere on time. Besides, if he brought Dan, he would have to drive to the far side of town to pick him up. ‘ The evening did not begin for Sally until she glimpsed Corey’s fair head towering in the doorway, and behind him a darker one that made her. heart begin to pound. Then they were coming toward her, Corey with his long swift stride, Dan following more | slowly—and, yes— - Sally's heartbeat slackened, pity flooded through her—he was walking with an unmistakable limp. She hurried forward, holding out her hand, making no effort’ to conceal her eagerness. Then she was looking into those gray eyes, so | direct, so dear, saying: “Oh, I'm| | so glad you came, Dan! 1 was so afraid you might not. It’s so good to see you again.” “It’s good to see you, too, Sally,” || Dan returned, in his quiet, grave way. “To be frank with you, I didn’t think I ought to come. But I had a special reason.” i “Special ¢r not,” Sally dimpled at him, “you are here—and that’s all} that counts.” {

He might have stepped outside to get a breath of air. The big barn was close and crowded with so many people. | F-4 # 8 !
