CHAPTER TWO ROSE, hurrying from the trolley, was quite out of breath. But it wasn't just haste which flushed her cheeks, made her blue eyes shine and the starchy frills of her lace jabot flutter like butterflies. The real source of agitation was her madly beating heart. Rose had just had an “adventure. She must rush to tell Sidney before even the tiniest detail of it slipped away! ... “I've met a man, Sidney,”

Much stranger was the fact that the man’s coat was black-and-white plaid, identical with the wool of Rose's dress, They both noticed the

she'd felt sure it would be “you and me.” She had found out. She was trembling ‘as the trolley came up, clanging, braking with a gusty wheeze. She got quickly into the car, glanced back. # » » HE HAD stepped aside to allow some ladies to precede him—before he swung aboard. The same trolley, and crowded; Rose had to stand, holding to an overhand strap. He stood beside her, he reached for the same strap. Their hands touched and clung: But when the trolley stopped at Clark and Governor streets and she got off, he made no attempt to follow. Their hands parted, the trolley whisked on. . , . She was left alone in a familiar world which seemed queerly unfamiliar. ~ » » HER FLIGHT along Clark street was interrupted by Mrs. Kerr who thrust up the front window of her cottage, thrust out her frizzled pompadour and shouted that Basil Earle had telephoned. ‘An hour ago, Rose. Said he wanted Sidney to go buggy-riding this evening. If he don't hear to the contrary, he'll be ‘round about

the parcel again, Rose had felt that

she must thank him. He wouldn't, in justice, have had to pick up the thread at -all, because the collision wasn't his fault. Or Rose's, either, (Fate's!) Then—! this was rather amazing—he had grasped. her arm, steering her across | Main Street to the trolley stop where (oddly enough!) he also must| wait for a trolley, though probably a! different one. And as they ‘stood there, he had kept his hand on her| arm. . . . “You're the prettiest girl I ever saw,” he said. “In my whole life! Know what you've done, honey? Made a hit with me! From now on,| it's you and me—together. You'll| find out!” ”» “ » A NERVY thing to say, wasn't it? Well, of course. A terrible thing. It was just being fresh, that’s all; and Rose wasn't entirely inexperienced, she had encountered | flirts and mashers before—and puj’ them in their places, too! The trouble was that this flirt and masher seemed somehow so—well, close. She looked up at him; tall, handsome, his hat set debonairly on| his blond head, he might have been the model for an Arrow collar ad. The trouble was that suddenly

eight.” { “Oh, thank you, Mrs. Kerr.” Rose {prayed that her restrained tones would influence Mrs. Kerr. “I was taking my bath and {couldn't go up to tell Sidney,” roared Mrs. Kerr, uninfluenced. “Will you tell her?” Yes, thank you.” 8.8 NODDING, Mrs. Kerr drew in her pompadour. As the owner of one of the block's few telephones, Mrs. Kerr served as a sort of clearinghouse for communications, with the Camerons prominent on her list of beneficiaries. Not that she ever complained. Without the telephone, Mrs. Kerr would have been a neighbor of litfle consequence; without the Cameron girls, her fund of small talk would

|have been smaller and. less colorful.

Rose went on more slowly, her eagerness to reach home and Sidney somehow abating. Perhaps this was because of Mrs. Kerr, perhaps because of the street itself, narrow, respectable, rather shabby. A typlcal street, you might say; nondescript houses with scraggly lawns, a cross-section of any mid-dle-class American residential district. But how drab! & 8 ; AND HERE was our own house, big- and really shabby, an atrocity of Victorian architecture, dormers, curlicue cornices, and everything needing paint. And Papa on the porch, in his gray uniform, swathed in folds of the Stars and Bars, like a stocky statue, half-unveiled. : Poor old Papa, so much older than anybody else's father, Oh, probably it was fine of Him, chivalrous or something, to observe Appomattox Day and all similar occasions. But wasn't it provoking, too? People didn’t understand that Papa’s calendar was at least a quarter of a century behind the times, People living in this town in 1910 simply didn’t understand that Papa was still living in the Virginia of his youth. Rose did wish he wouldn't make such a spectacle of himself!
