"They Won't ever bo wanted now," she said, sobbing, when Jill questioned her. "They're not grand enough they'd hato being in a big houss as much as I shall." "You'll have much prettier things much nicer," Jill comforted her; but apparently Kathy was inconsolable ; she knelt by the aide of the rickety painted chest of drawers and dropped bitter tears on the little neat bundles of tea cloths and linen which she had made with such care and so many depriva tions. Jill knew that many dreams had been woven Into the simple work, and khe felt a very real pang of sympathy with Kathy. "Kathy'll never make a rich man'a ttrlfa " Tin Mtl 4 I... .. f 1. ,.i ,1.

Jill declared, all the moro vehemently because she iclt that there was some truth In what he said. "Don't I wish it were me. that's oil I should revel In the hothouse." "Oh, you!" said Don. "But you're so different." Sho turned eagerly. "Do you really think I nmJ Do you really think so?" "Of course I do; nobody would be lievo that you and Kathy were sisters; and that's why you'll marry n poor man, nnd live on about tuppenccNbalf penny a weeki Thiugs never go right in this world; the wrong people alwajs have the money." Jill's face fell. It was a Saturday morning, and ahc had just raced home lunchlesa from the office to take Don out for a little while. Sho had not been nb!e to buy the chair yet, (but ns it was a very fine afternoon ahe decided with sudden recklessness that tbey might hire one for on hour or two. Don's temper had been worse than usual ot late, and Jill dreaded spending the long afternoon wljh him In the stuffy little room. But Don was taci turn, and refused to go. It was too much trouble, he declared, and he did not want to go; he linted being carried up and down stairs; he would far rather stay where be wan; the sunshine made his head ache, and he disliked the jolting of the ramshackled chair which was all they could hirp. He never considered Jill in the least : It was nothing to him that she wanted to be out in the air; nothing to him that her head nched. and that she looked forward all the week to the one afternoon when she might he free nnd enjoy herself; he did not want to go, and as he was most certainly not going to be left alone Jill must stay with him. Jill bit her llpf to check the angry words that rose ; she knew he was ut terly selfish ; she thought It very hard that he nhould. never consider her in the very lenst. but well, he was Don. and so she took off her hat and coat and xnt down beside him obediently. She had opened the window n little way when she came in, but now, in response to a fretful request from him, she closed it ngnin : the room was hot and stuffy : it made her head ache a thousand times worse than the noise of the office and the incessant click of the typew riter : she felt somehow, as he sat there with her hands clasped in her lap, ns if she were a prixoner, chnined to the couch of this boy kept in from life by the four walls of the little room. Other people were enjoying them selves ; other girls whom sho knew were out in the sunshine, breathing the fresh nir but she Don broke the silence. "I suppose you are going to sulk now because I don't wont to go out " Jill looked at him gravely. "I'm not sulking I was only think ing " "About Kathy, I suppose youfc al ways thinking about her; jou care much more for her than jou do for me." "Of course I don't," she bent and kissed him remorsefully : she knew that ho had spoken the truth ; she loved Kathy n thousand times better than 'ahe loved him; she was always thinking about her and the future: always won dering wondering She had quite made her mind that Mie would be Katby's bridesmaid; she wondered with a little thrill if pcr liapy Tallentyrc would be best man he was Halph's greatest friend she RuppoVd Kathy would buy her a I rock. sho had already decided that she would wear palest amber she knew the color suited her dark eyes and hair bet ter than any other; she had promised herself that for that one occasion at least she would have her hair dressed at n nhop and her nails manicured ; she would let Tallent) re see that she could look nice it she tried ; even if she hnd to go without her lunch for a month, she would bo a success on Knthy's wed ding day. Sho wondered curiously what sort of a girl Itolpli Hillyard's sister was; she rould not understand Kathy shrinking from meeting her ; It was just the sort of encounter she herself would have enjoyed; it would have given her plcnsure to show all Hilljard's rela tions nnd friends thnt she knew how to behae, even if he was poor and came from Acncin terrace. Sho lost herself In happy dreaming of that one eventful day. Sho could to well imagine now 'iai lcjityrp would look ; she wondered If per haps lie and she would have to walk down the church together after the cere mony : her ers sparkled at tho thought. "When Kathy is married," she said suddenly, "where bhall we go and live, Don?" The boy looked nt her "Where shall we go? Why, stay here, of course." "Stay here," she echoed his words blankly. "Of course we shan't. Kathy couldn't nllow her relations to live In a place like this ; sho would never want to como and seo us nt all if we did besides of course she will help us a little don't you think?" she submitted half timidly. Don laughed. "Help us It won't be her money, and from what I know of Hlllyard " Jill interrupted quickly. "You never liked him, I know; but he's very nice really, I am sure he is ; he just wants understanding. Kathy will manage him you sec If she docsn t ; he's so fond of her, he'd do anything to please, her." ...,. xno uoot win uo on mi- uwti iwii sa d Don grumy.

Jill sighed heavily; 'sho wondered what Tallentyre was doing if he was out somewhere In the park with hla friends if he had ever given her a thought alnco thnt memorablo afternoon sho hnd spent with, him. It was very unlikely, alio Knew mac, no uoum unijr n sudden Impulse had driven him to take her out ; no doubt ho had laughed at himself since for what ho hnd done.
