cares,
And thought up golden tales,
Sewed baseball gloves for little boys,
Made kites and dolls and sails,
And child-size pies and apple tarts
That children like to eat,
Rewarded by the eager tread
Of little, hurrying feet. i
Worn hats and coats quite out of style, |
And gone with something less
To give a little brown-eyved girl
A hat or party dress
Stayed home around the evening lamp,
‘While others laughed and played.
Shut away the merry scene,
And smiled and talked ind prayed.
And yet she wants no sympathy
For well she always knows
There's something more to motherhood
Than wearing worn-out clothes,
The plaudits of the many
That the famous woman hears,
Can't rival with the secre's
That are whispered in her ears,
The gleam of costly jewels
And luster of soft furs
Can't sparkle like the faces

“Miss Carroll, am I right in think-
ing that you are—weil, rather mod-
ern and sophisticated, rather uncon-
ventional 7"
Dane Carroll looked up startled
and found Cameron Bruce studying
her intently. For a moment her eyes
challenged his; then they wavered
and droppea back to her open not:-
book. He had never looked at her
like this before.
“What an extraordinary question!”
“Most college girls are who go in-
to business,’
“I had only one year of college,”
she reminded him. “But what if I
am?”
“Then I've got a temporary job
for you at a thousand dollars a
week."
“Wh-a-t 2"
“You'd have to come out and live
with us at Glenn Cove—it would be
perfectly all right,” he added. “My
invalid aunt is a perfect chaperon.”
Dane looked speptical.
“Part of your job would be to cat-
alogue a few books. There are thou-
sands in the library. The other part
would be to make my brother Stan
forget his fiancee.”
“I see. It's a joke." She smiled in-
dulgently.
“Joke, hell!” Cameron retorted,
tossing a newspaper clipping across
the desk, “Look at that.’
Dane picked up 4 cupping from a
morning tabloid and cucqously cle-

ed Cameron bitterly. “He's been
sued for breach of promise twice in
three years.”
“You don't approve of the latest
fiancee?” It was a polite suggestion.
“Look at her picture—there atthe
side.”
“H-m-m. What lovely legs. Well,
there are lots of nice girls in the
chorus,”
Cameron snorted. “I've just come
from her apartment. She paints her
finger nails to match her pajamas!"
Dane's shoulders began to tremble.
She bit her lip desperately. Then she
burst into irrepressible laughter.
“I-m-m sorry, Mr. Bruce,” she
He glared. It's no laughing mat-
ter. This isn't just breach of promise,
The boy's gone crazy, she's an angel,
and he's going to her.”
“Can't you buy her off?”
“When she knows she can marry
a million dollars?” he jeered. |
“Does all this mean you were seri-
ous—about me?” demanded Dane. |
Before Cameron replied he filled!
and lit a huge briar pipe. Then he
swung back on his secretary. “Have

“And if I succeeded?”
“He'd forget you in a week.”
“Thanks,” she drawled. |
He grinned unabashed. “That's

“What a dirty trick!” |
“Not as dirty as letting bim mar-

shrewd glance.
“Eleanor might be able to do it”
' she mused.
“Who's Eleanor?”
“Younger sister. The most beau-
tiful thing you ever saw.”
Cameron looked at Dane specula-
tively. Fluffy golden-red hair, heavy |
dark eye-lashes veiling very deep
blue eyes, a nose turned up just a
trifle, a mouth full of red curves, a
small firm chin and a slim neck.
He'd never been particularly con-

“Maybe,” he conceded.

on. “Can't let a kid go to a party

She nodded weakly. “But all this

“What are a few thousand dol-

“All right,” cried Dane reckless!y.
“I'll buy the whole damm shop.’
Cameron grinned. “Good! Now get

desk.
At the door she hesitated. “Mr.
Bruce, have you considered the pos-
sibility of my-—well, my getting to
like Stanley?”
“Oh, you'll like him. Every one
does,” he muttered absently. :
“But what if I found I wanted to
marry into the Bruce family ny-
self?" Her voice was cool and chal-
lenging,
“You undoubtedly could and
would,” he snorted. “I'm busy. Stop
bothering me. Send Miss Evans in.”
Cameron Bruce was loitering on’
the porch of the great rambling!
house as the car swept Dane up the
driveway late the next afternoon. |
He frowned over her one suitcase.

demanded as he stamped into the

“I'd say Stan had about met his

“Who's got a match?” Jlemanded
Stan. No one had. “Damn! That

bled. “Why don't you have electric

“Try rubbing two sticks together,”

started for the house.
Cameron watched him out of ear-

ly.

cocktail, and you might show her
around the place a bit, if you have
time,” Cameron suggested and stalk-
ed out of the room.
The next hour Stanley devoted to
a study of librarians. He discovered
that they played tennis, swam and
adored dancing, that they walked
with a lithe, swinging grace, that
they could be disturbing when
looked up at you through black eye-
lashes, that they used strange and
subtle perfume; and he suspected,
though he wasn't sure, that their

“Late for what?” Cameron de-
manded.
“We're going to motor into town

“Oh! Well, T guess T'll be moving

The next morning when Cameron
strode into the dining room for his
usual 8 o'clock breakfast he halted
in surprise, for a slim figure in gay
striped linen was curiously poking
"into the setaming dishes on the
sideboard. It had been scarcely four
hours since he had heard Stanley's
car being put away in the garage.
“Good morning, Mr, Bruce.”
“You're early-—considering
hour you got in,” he growled.
“Oh, we had a marvelous time!
| We went dancing after the theatre.
But waking up early seems to have
become a habit.”
He poured himself a full tumbler
the
of iced orange juice and sat down
at the table.
“How do you take your coffee?”
she asked from the sideboard.
“Cream, no sugar,” he admitted
grudgingly,
“There seems to be kidneys and
scrambled eggs here. Which do you
| want?”
“Neither,” he snapped. “Sit down,
sit down! People wait on themselves
here at breakfast.”
Silence.
“I'm sorry I was rude,” Cameron
finally blurted out.
Dane answered with a grin,
“Good morning, children.” came a
blithe greeting from the doorway.
Cameron turned and regarded his
brother sourly. “May I ask what
gets you up four hours earlier than
usual 2”
“Oh, nothing. Just happened.”
Cameron shielded himself behind
his morning paper and listened with
growing irritation to their gay chat-
ter about the preceding -veuing.
Finally he slapped his paper down!
with a savage smack and started
for the door, “I'm glad you enjoyed
yourself. I myself spent most of the
night answering telephone calls for
you.”

“Oh! well. T may stay in town for

Dane regarded the empty doorway
with a frown, “Has your brother
| ever been interested in anything ex-

she asked abruptly.
“Cam?” Stanley laughed. “Oh, no,

“H-m-m, Nevertheless, I begin to
