Anne put out a quick hand, "rlenst

"Como In and tell mo what you came

t,ucy Pratt, pulled away quickly from
Annn'a touch, and defiance hardened her
small features. "I can say what I have
to say rlptht here," sho said quickly
"It's about Bill Snyder. You'ro going
to marry him, aren't you?"
Anno shook her head. "No, I'm not
Kolnpc to marry him."
"He told me you wero"
Anne smiled. "And I tell you I'm
not."
The Klrl hesitated a moment, staml
Inc first on ono foot and then on an

or not sha should ro oir. Flnnlly she
burst out: "I told him last night that

laughed at me, he thought I wouldn't

Just what he told me to, but that's over

b'gnn to shake and she began to sob
wildly
Arnio put an arm nbout her.
"Don't cry. tell mo about It If It will
make you feel better."
"Von know when It happened," the
girl said, nftcr a moment trylnR to con
quer her sobs. "Nearly three year3 ago.
Up told me he loved, mo and we were
going to bo married. I believed him. I
would have believed anything he told
me then. And then ho went away, nnfl
when I wrote fo him he laughed at me
and told mo not to be a little fool. Een
then I loved him." she said fiercely.
"Because there wasn't any ono else, and
then he told mo about you. He said
that you weren't easy like I was. that a
man had to work to make nn Impression
on you and that ho waa going to marry
you."
There wi a sound of steps on the
porch outside, and a moment later the
door opened and Jim Carter appeared.
TjUcv Pratt had fallen back against the
wall. Anno stood calmly facing her
father.
"Well, what's all this?" he said
gruffly.
I.ucy, who was slightly behind Jim
Carter, signed frantically for Armo to
keep Bllent, and Anno nodded compre
hensively. "Just some ono who brought a ran
cage to me. father," sho said, stepping
forward and opening, the door for Lucy.
Jim Carter grunted Nand went on Into
the dining room where ho always sat
In preference to the parlor, and for n
momont tho two girls stood facing each
other.
"And jou're not going to marry film,"
T.ucy said, softly. "Dop't you caro for
him?"
A feeling of utter loathing swept over
Anne. "Caro for him." she said and
shuddered. "How can jou ask me
that?'
There was a softness on r,ucy Pratt's
face. It rounded out tho thin outline of
her cheeks, and made her nlmott
pretty. Anno looked at her In nmaise

Anno could havo cried, there was so
much of hopeleisness In the girl's voice,
and she was so resigned
"Thank you for coming." Anna said,
Impulsively, and Lucy smiled again and
