which crossed his delicate face. "And" I' wish you knew. Loiswhat you really mean to me." Peter Borden was not blind-and because of that he permitted himself to worry. The immaculate little man with the precise mind and unswerving sense of honor bad seen the development of the interest between his daughter and the young man who had beer: taken into their home. Peter Borden knew his daughter.
There was much of him in her. and of her mother, and Borden had more twist and quirk of his known every wife's bruin and emotiona. did not surprise him It therefore 10 see that from the first Lois wove a great romance about the tragic, figure of Bob Terry. Lie stooping was pathetic and he did need sympathy and kindness and mothering. It was only natural that 11 girlyoung and impressionable and always sheltered from the harsher phases of life-should fall under the romantie Rob Terry, fine minded as he spell.
yet not of their caste, and was, was until matters had progressed too far, Borden did not sense thut Lois' interest had transcended the impersonal and taken unto itself a depth which now had to be faced as a fact. i There were three phases to the condition which brought' little wrinkles of worry the corners of Borden's eyes. One: was that he doubted the depth of his daughter's love for That she thought sh*t Bob, In love with the young man, knew. But he doubted if she really was. Now.
Bob was possessed -the dramatized he was every a look starkly and move and action; heroic figure her eyes. Above all. it was certain that she did not see him clearly. She saw only the was: a young 'of great possithetic side and eculd, not see him as bilities for geod; of certain ability but with the strength and wealnesses of an average human being. not that Peter Borden sidered that Terry was not good enough for his daughter; he: was Fearful that she only did not knew know him as Terry, she the man.
She imagined he was. And that fact brought to Borden's mind the third possibility. Suppose Bob WAS :15 bitter as lic thought--and suppose the boy attacked him through Lois? Peter Borden shuddered. Tonight Bob had dined at home and then gone from the table to. his room.
Borden moved into the library for his evening cigar and Lois tollowed. For a few minutes she moved restlessly about the 100m, a slim. straight figure of white and goll, then, without a word, she came and. seated herself arm of his chair. Borden reached up and took his daughter's hand.
This was the opportunity which he had prayedand which he dared not create for himself. His voice, freighted with understanding and sympathy, came softly to her enra. "Worried, dear?" "Yes, Dad." "Bob?" "I think go." "Why?" She hesitated before answering. And then- "Why' didn't he let you help him, Dad?" "Instead of going to work for mody?" "Yes." A vertical furrow appoard, between. Borden's eyes.
"Peerhaps it was just as well." "Why?" "Bob has never forgiven me, Lois." "No-0. He hasn't. But he doesn't know you--and the only way he could have known you would have: been to hava gone to work for you The daily contact-" "He's here." "No, Dad. He hasn't and you know it. has lived under this roof and cuten some of his meals here, but ho known you I get shuddery sometimes looking at him and thinking.
It is almost as though he hated you--and was staying here for a purpose." Borden sighed. "Perhaps. I cannot object to anything he may think or do. I wrecked that young man, Lois. No use ovading the fact.
did it from conscientious motives, but that didn't make the blow to him any less terrible. And so, whatever he is now--whatever he may be--is my fault. 1 can only make what reparation he will permit me, and do my best to provido for his future." The slim white arm tightened about the man's neck. "Dear old Dad. You understand things almost too well for your own happiness.
What a pity that Bob cannot know lie thinks you are' hard and "110 has every reason to think that." "Of course. Cut the Carmody "Bob was probably pretty sensitive about coming back to work for the where his trouble started. Pride--and all th. sort of thing." "No-0-0." She shook her head. "It isn't that, Dad--elec he would never have come here to live, or accepted money clothes and food from you.
There's something else behind it. And since he went to work for Carmody-you've noticed the change, haven't you?" "Yes. Mc has improved. tremendously. The reawakening of his respect, I'd call it." "He could do go much for himself -and is doing so He frightens "Don't be silly, Lois.

ZAREK ON went SATURDAY about- looking afternoons at small they inexpensive apartments and unti Joan became used 10 it slie fo. acute Some of the janitors undoubtedly thought tlicy were married--and to have any one even suppose that she and Andrew were reilly married seemed a little shocking.
"You silly child," assured Andrew as they walked along down a side street in search of an apaitment they had seen advertised. "There is nothing the least bit. shocking about what we're doing." "Only you're going to live there before we are married," said Joan with embarrassment. "That might setin funny." "We don't hare to tell ere: agent our plans," Andrew assured her. "And when we have definiteily settled on the apartment we won't can explain matters, and there be anything surprising about it." It: was late winter aid Andrew and Joan did not intend to be married until the Tollowing autumn.
Meantime they that they, ought to select their apartment now while they would have wider selection than in. the autumn. As :1 matter of economy Andrew would inake his bachelor home there until autumn, cooking his own breakfast by way of econ oly. The apartment that they finally agreed upon was two flights up in. a house without an elevator.
It was it back apartment, windows looking out on rather pleasant back yard end with the rest of the windows on a court. The rent was-oh, very little for these days--even less than Joan and Andrew had planned in their most. frugal moments. "We'll make the kitchen the main root--we'll eat there and I'll the walls painted at cheerful vellow. with blue and white gingham curtains the windows.
We'll have a nice big bedroom two rooms ought to be enough. Then we won't even liare to worry about living beyond our inconie and we can give a little besides." By way of answer Andrew pressed Joan's warm little hand. "There aren't many girls like you. Joan," he said. "You don't seem to cure bit about money." said Joan.
with: interest. "In fact. Andrew, Ire always looked forward io starting married life just like this. That's one of the things that: makes marrying you. so nice.

Soon after that Andrew signed a year's lease for the little apartment. and having sent on couch, al bed. a bureau, :1 kitchen table and a few cooking utensils, started in keeping bachelor's hall by himself. The passed slowly enough through summer. and the first glorious days of aumin.
There were days when -he did not: see Joan even for a minute. days oren when he did not have time 10 write or to telephone fO her, but Joan bottled up ber Andrew really loved her just the pointment. convincing herself that satine. And all the time she was making pretty things for the humble little apartment-curlains for the windows, and all the 'conventional list of household linens. But, as the time approached for the weiding clearly something was worrying Andrew.
Then one day Joan asked him if he would meet her at the apartment. She hadn't intended going there at all, but she wanted to send some furniture and she wanted to plan with him where everything shauld be placed. Then somehow Andrew was urged to disclose tire cause of 'his anxiety. "I don't know how you'll take it. Joan," he told standing there in the little kitchen.
"But. I can't keep it from you. You see. things took unexpected turn at: the plant. For year or so I've been working out a process.

Andrew told bor this as 1 if ho were confessing some misdeed. "It would' all have been fine." be said, "only knew how you feel about money.
