The intricate system of dots, dashes and loops which human inge- had devised to save time and was like a puzzle she must work out. Every of the solution must be taken carefully. No use in becoming a stenographer unless she became a nuity effort good one. Julia’s mind, Cathleen found, worked with lightning swiftness, but her re- sults were not always accurate. But Julia had less need for the finished product, since stenography for her was to be merely an added tool to simplify the work in’ which she was already well established. “It seems sort of hopeless in the beginning,” Cathleen said when they had finished their first evening at the school. “So many things “Yes,” Julla agreed. e to remember only one of them at a time. It's a question of pasting up each one so that it sticks.” On their way home they met Ellen Nolan and Pat O'Brien. It wag the first time Cathleen had seen Ellen since she had left home She saw that Ellen would have passed by with a smug little nod if Pat had not stopped and hailed her cheerily. “How's the runafay?” he asked fo- vially. “Got to hand it to you, Kit You gave the neighbors some jolt.” Catleen had never liked Pat O'Brien much—he treated life as a rubber ball, to be bounced at will—but now, sud- | denly, she found that his friendly greet- ing warmed her. | *“Doesn't take much to jolt them, gofis it?” She laughed, and introduced ulia. | *7“I 'don’t see how you dared do it— /0 away from home,” Ellen said. Her tone implied that lolnE away from home was very questionable conduct. “Puss, puss,” Pat teased. “Stop meow- ing at Kitty.” Ellen tossed her head. She was wear- ing a heavy gold slave bracelet of which she was very obviously conscious. m’;?'m not catty,” she purred, “am I “Of course not,” Cathleen said. “Just kittenish.” “Ellen, somehow, had changed, she *| cut of doing what you want to do.” thought. The common ground between them had parted and left a wide chasm. “You've cut yourself from us.” Cathleen recalled her father’s a words. After all, he had been right. Ellen was a stranger to her. “We must be going,” Ellen ma.i dropping on Pat’s arm. “Glad to have seen you.” | “What had come over Ellen? She! was full of airs, actually patronizing. She kept jingling her slave bracelet as though it were a badge of & new ele- vation “Hold fast, Kitty,” Pat advised, with a deeper tone than the usual persifiage he affected. “Don't let them kid you “They'd have to pry me loose in little bits of pieces,” Cathleen said. Ellen held Pat’s arm as though she, at }mt, had no intention of being pried oose. “Pat must be winning at his gam- bling,” Cathleen told Julia later. “Ellen | | has a new bangle, and gosh, how it | ! She couldn't think of any- thing except the slave bracelet all the time we were talking with them.” “She's a study in everything we're not,” Julia remarked. “Clinging and coy. Proud to jump every time her man | cracks the whip.” Cathleen was thoughtful. “I've never | known Ellen to be so stand-offish be- fore,” she murmured. She said good night to Julia at the “Declaration of Independence.” Much must be recorded in the secret diary which she had come to look upon as “You needn’t tell me —Il know Camel is the fresh cigarette!” B st e corner. She wanted to catch up on her | ouf her inner and true self. Things were beginning to happen. Menace was in the story now. Conflict. The only ele- ment missing was love interest. Could a life be complete without love interest? A book should have a hero. But there was no hero she could give to it—ex- cept, perhaps, Tom. A hero with & half a name. A 10-minute hero who had faded immediately away. Cathleen wrote until midnight. She was already half asleep when she pulled t;b:;k the couch cover and climbed into She had just dropped off the edge of consciousness into oblivion when she was awakened by a crash. She leaped from bed, switched on the light. One of the geraniums in the window was missing. It must have fallen into the courtyard below. The broken pot, that was the crash which had awakened her. She listened. Voices came to her from the courtyard. Low voices and a smothered oath. She ran to the win- dow. The moon was out, flooding the yard. “Two men were struggling under her window. She could hear the thud of their fists, the scuffiing of their feet. One of them, she saw, tore himself away from his adversary, who had been pummeling him without mercy. He backed away. crouching, then turned and fled through the passage leading to the street. ‘The man who remained behind lookad ‘ up &t Cathleen's window, and saw her ined there against the light. “It's all right, Miss Carroll,” he called reassuringly. “Lsaw him when he came over the roof, but he dropped so quick his feet hit that flower could say Jack Robinson. I N lonhe climbed right down that wall like & fly” “Was he a burglar?” Cathleen was trembi ind held onto the window- sill tightly. | “Burglar, nothing! He was a low- | down snooper. Wanted to throw a good | scare into you. Go on back to bed. | I'm the new night janitor. The next ried out in a sponge.” For a long time Cathleen sat very still in her blue chair. Then she pulled out the light and lay down agajn.
