FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 235, 1925 : Che Casper Daily Cribune as a 6 CHAPTER 7, There was a tart debate between -\moura Ainsley and Philip Wein- vich when Philip stopped the sedan in the shadows at the end of the long ‘platform of the Westland pas- senger-station. “Just wait here, Ammy, and I'll nd get your ticket."” No, do not do that I'll get it.” » attempted to. get out of the car. “Please let me, Ammy. You don't want everybody in the station to see you, you know.” “Why not? I’m not concealing” anything! You appear to be afrald some one will see us together, I notice that you chose to bring me in a closed car instead of your roadster.” She was excited and disturbed as the moment of her departure neared; and naturally, she was ir- ritable. “Why, Amoura, I thought——!" His distress caused her to sub- side. “Oh, go ahead and get the tickets, Phil, and forgive me. But get a coach ticket—no pullman,” “Surely you want a pullman reger- vation, dear? You——.” “No, I don’t, Working girls do el in pullmans. I may as in now to undergo a few little “hardships,” a! Phil stamped his foot, a charac: teristic expression when he was an- noyed, “But you'll be worn out when you get to Chicago, You can't possibly sleep in one of those horrible coaches. And you'll need to have your eyes open when you get there——." ‘The argument won her. “All right. Just a berth, No compart: ment.” It was the first time one of J. Reginald Ainsley’s daughters ever suggested such a thing, “And hurry, Phil’—she glanced nervously at her wrist-watch——” it’s almost time for the train.’ She watched the procession of autos arriving at the station, half expecting the ex- cited appearance of her father and mother, A long line of persons was at the ticket window before Philip, and the sound of the approaching train was sending persons scurrying from the waiting-rooms to the platform when he returned to Amoura. “An upper berth was the best I could do,” he explained apologetic- ally. dh, that’s all right,’ she cried, bing her belongings, and yleld- her suitcase to him. Pushed about by the arriving and ting throngs there was no time other than a perfunctory good- bye. Ste surrendered her lips to him without emotion, and hurried into the car, She was glad at the moment it was over with. No tears had been shed between them; no heroic words spoken; nothing sald except the quibbling over the pull- man reservation set down above. But then, with the trains pulling eut her tears came. * Half an hour later, when Amoura was lying insecurely in the upper: berth, she mused over this parting scene. It was not what she had imagined that afternoon, or had been led to expect by the previous evening, and she was, in a sense, disappointed. She had pictured a wretched Philip pleading with her at. the last moment to reconsider and remain; a Philip pledging in a broken voice eternal love devotion, She was not so sure she would have resisted such an appeal. She thought, too, of how she had left the mansion on the hill, the only place she had ever Ived that she thought of as home. a That day, for the first time since the revelation of her plans and the resultant family crisis, ghe break- fasted and lunched with her mother and J, Reginald, and, to her sur- prised relief, nothing was sald about the issue she had precipitated.._Her Hundreds of thousands of motorists enjoyed bet- ter car performance and saved in oil and gas dur- ing the past summer because they installed new jhaven't we met before?” sets of Champion Spark’ Plugs as recommended during Champion National Change Week last May.

That afternoon she ate so many little cakes with her tea that her mother remarked about it. After the tea hour she dressed, obsensively for dinner, but when dinner was announced, Amoura com- Plained of lack of appetite and a slight headache, After kissing her father and mother and leaving them to dine ulone, she went back up Stairs to her chamber, certain that she would be undisturbed for at least half an hour. She quickly shed the dinner gown, put on a dark serge truveling suit, and, assured by her strategy that Della, the maid, was occupled downstairs, crept out of the house with the luggage she | had concealed early that morning, and met Philip. Then, with the con. cealed luggage recovered, they sped away, With heart beating as thrill- ingly as if she were a criminal flee ing with all the silver plate of the mansion, It would not be long, she knew, before her absence was discovered; Perhaps even now her mother was alarmed and agitated. With this thought ca a pang—poor man, Fear crept into her heart when it occurred to her, “they may tele graph ahead and have the Chicago police stop me!” Powerful as was this suggestion, it could not keep her mind awake, many more minutes, and soon her weary eyes closed in sleep. A start, and she awoke again, The porter was shaking the green curtains of her berth. The car, she could see, was streaming with | daylight. the world. CHAPTER 8. The noisy traffic of LaSalle street sang @ sweet song to Amoura Ains- ley as she stood uncertainly.in the concourse of the LaSalle station, a luggage-laden Red Cap reading her with deml-expectancy. New York, London, Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Vienna, Rome—she knew them all, thanks to the now traditional Ains- ley idea of a complete education, but she had never been so thrilled by a metropolis as at this moment. Of course it was because she was alone; and free, A short, smiling woman in a black dress, wearing a little bonnet that bore an insignia, Traveler's Aid So- ciety,” approached the girl who stood as if she didn’t know what to do. “Could I help you?” the woman said, with long practiced sweetness. “Wh; Amoura started. * She saw the insignia. “Thank you, but no.” She got tle attention of the Red Cap and turned toward the only portal in sight. “Are you sure you don’t require any assistance’ the woman per- sisted. Amoura paused, “No thank you. I-I can get where I’m going in a taxi. I thought some one would meet me.” She thought some sort of trumped up explanation necessary and didn’t regret the lie, With the Red Cap she hasténed to a taxi Before leaving home, she had re- solved to seek out a cheap place to live in working girl style immedinte- ly after her arrival, but now as she sat In the taxi, the porter tipped and the taxi-driver staring at her for directions, she mentioned the name of the only hotel she could think of, one she had visited with her parents, and decidely not a habitation for working girls who worked, And in thirty minutes she was at homo in ® room there, registered under her own name, It was part of her plan not to use an assumed name unless fhe was forced to do so by pub- Melty.
