Scoop, very much | pleased with his catch, leaned back comfortably and grinned down at the | little red head. ' “What have you got there in the | box? Specimens?” “No,” Sugar smiled childishly up at the broad-faced Irishman. “Lolly- pops.” | Scoop gave a deep rumbling laugh. | 1 suppose you've been out feedin’ 'em to the birds, bees and butterflies. Anyway, it's none of my business. And | that was a right smart answer.” | “But I'm serious.” Sugar openedi the box. “Look!" [ “So help me!” Scoop raised his brows. “Do they grow on trees down | in these here parts?” } “Sure, I've a lollypop farm just down the river. The crop is doin’ right smart this year. Last year the tles ate them up.” though she knew about it only from hearsay. “One of the most modern hotels in this part of the country. I'm sure you'd like it.” “Sold! Are we coming into the city?” “This is it.” going pitty-pat. To be riding in & big shiny brand- new coupe with & man from New York was a tremendous thrill. She wished Zanie Lou could see her. Sighing, she settled deeper into the cushions. “This is so nice. I hate to get out,” she said innocently. ‘That gave Scoop the opening he'd been looking for. “Well, Lollypop,” ne slqwed the car, “you don't have to. Nothing would give me greater pleas- ure than to keep going on and on and on.” “Till we reach China?” Sugar laughed merrily. “But I live . just straight ahead three blocks. They might miss me. So I guess we'd better stop.” Scoop was never one to pass up an opportunity. “I've a better idea.” He pretended to be. deeply engrossed in the traffic. “How about having dinner and going to the movies with me tonight? If there is a movie. Would your mother object?” That just about knocked the breath out of Sugar. For a few seconds she didn't know what to say. “There—wouldn’t be any objection, 1 don’t think,” she began uncertainly. “But—" “I know,” Scoop nodded, “you don't even know my name. Here,” he drew a leather case from his pocket, “This may help some.” Sugar took the case in her hands. On one side there was a badge of silver and gold that read: “Police reporter.” On the other side: “This is to certify that Patrick | Xavier (Scoop) O'Reilly is a staff| member of the New York Democrat, entitled to all privileges of a reporter in good standing. Signed, Marvin E. Cox, Managing Editor.” Sugar handed it back to him and said what everybody in the werld Sugar felt her heart Scoop chuckled appreciatively. “If | says to a newspaper person: “It must 1 may make so, bold as to ask, being | & newspaper man and always sticking | fny nose into something that doesn'’t | toncern me, what are you doing with | 80 many lollypops?” | “Well,” Sugar hesitated, then de- eided to tell the truth, “I bought them for the kids at the Lorien Orphanage. 1 intended taking them on my way out Rere for a walk. But everything was #o beautiful I just kind of forgot my- self and kept on. Scoop turned to her with a new in- Serest. She was a mighty young girl to be worrying about children from an | orphanage. He decided she was not enly beautiful, but sweet. ¥ “Great!” he smiled, and she de- eided he was handsome in spite of the freckles that stood out on his sun- burned face. “Can I drive you to the orphanage to drop them off2” “Oh, no!” she said quickly. send them up tomorrow. burry.” « She didn't know why—but she didn’t want the man to know she was &n orphan, although she was a little eshamed of herself, and didn’t feel quite loyal to Mother Friddle and Johnny. It had been so nice walking around Lorien in her new clothes and Bot being recognized as a former in- mate of Orphanage Hill. She didn't Quite want to break the spell. “‘Are you a native of Lorien?"” Scoop psked then, to make conversation. | + “Oh, yes, I've lived here all my life. Have you ever been here before?” » “No, this is my first trip. But I| think I'm going to like it.” Scoop grinned down at Sugar impu- | dently, and she tried to avoid his searching blue eyes. “I'm just passing through,” he ex- | plained then. “I'm told there's a pretty good hotel where I can spend the night.” “Very good,” Sugar assured him, al- I “I can There’s no # 10, 3731 Yuma NORTH CLEVELAND PARK | open, staring at them.

I'd love to be a writer.” | Scoop passed the comment up. “Well, how about tonight?” | “Stop here,” Sugar directed. “This | is where I live. Let me think.” | Scoop blinked when he saw the | Le Masters estate. “Wow! You must | be the mayor's daughter!” he ejacu- | lated. “No wonder you can't make | up your mind whether to dine with a poor peasant. I apologize.” “Oh, no,” Sugar denied, hurriedly. “It isn't that.

Scoop took off his hat. “See you at 6,” he made a gallant bow and hopped into his machine. Zanie Lou hadn’t moved from her | spot by the lily pond when Sugar's | shaking knees conveyed her there. | “Well, young lady!” Zanie fell to| “What have you been up | to? Who was that grand-looking | man?” Sugar dropped to the grass beside her and covered her face. “Oh, Zanie Lou, what have I done? Suppose Zanie gave “Is that all?” Zanie recovered her- “Boy, you sure didn't let any aspara- gus grow under your new shoes. Come on—tell me—who is he? Before I bust.” “His name is Mr. O'Reilly, and he’s 500 Street N.W. s New York newspaper man. I—I met him out’ River road.” Zenie Lou's eyes grew round with smazement. “You—mean you picked him up? And you néver saw him before?” Sugar nodded and kicked off her pumps. “I never could have walked in. These high heels are killing me. Look, I'm all blistered and swollen.” Zanie Lou made & littlq clicking sound with her tongue. “You sure took a chance, baby. But I'm glad you've got sense enough to get acquainted with’ some men. It's about time you started learning something about life. Where are you going to have dinner?” “At the hotel, and we're going to the movies. Isn't it wonderful?” “Sure.” Zanie Lou got up. “Well, drag your aching canines off the green and I'l see what I can find for you to wear. You can't wear that dress. He's .seen it.” “But Zanie,” Sugar protested. “This is perfectly all right. He—he's leav- ing tomorrow. I can't be wearing all your clothes.” “Dry up, idiot, and mind your busi- ness. I'm running this show.” Zanie pulled her up. “You'll do just as I say, and everything will be Jake and Len: “Ow!” Sugar hobbled painfully. “These pumps! I should have known better than to walk so far.” “I'll find some sandals for you. While I look for something for you to put on hop into the tub and take & good bath. That'll help. And you're not going down to your tub in the basement. It'll take too long. Use mine.” “But, what would your sister say?” “Will you stop worrying about Jane Lee! It's my tub. I'll take a chance of breaking out with orphans’ hives or something. I've got some swell bath salts thatll make you reek like the Sultan’s favorite.” Zanie Lou gave orders and Sugar followed them, in & daze. In a little while she was radiant in a long white gown of organdie with a close-fitting lace dinner hat on her curls. A fresh pair of chiffon stockings and flimsy little white sandals made her feet feel good as new. When Zanie Lou finally led her to the long mirror in her bath room she wanted to sob. “Oh!” she cried breathlessly. “This must be a dream.” Zanie felt a little like weeping, too. “You're—so beautiful you make me think of an angel.” head wonderingly. “Oh, Sugar, you could be a movie star if you went out to Hollywood!"” “Silly!” Sugar gave her a little shove. “It's just the improvement be- cause you let me wear your clothes. Any one would look pretty in these lovely things.” “Sez you! Wait till the boys see you. Your Mister O'Reilly has seen the most beautiful women in the world in New York and I'll bet he’ll want_to kidnap you.” “Goff!” While Zanie Lou was putting the finishing touches to Sugar’s lips she stopped short. “Oh!” she jumped ex- citedly, “he’ll come to the front door Sugar's face dropped. “I hadn thought of that. lowed to have company, are they?” “Only in the kitchen.

Nobody'll ever stand you up. Not with them there hair and eyes.” Sugar sat down on a chest in the back hall and trembled until she was Scoop’s car. Then she thought of Johnny. How terrible!
