Because I'm not going to change my mind, you know!" Helping him with his suitcase, she went down the driveway, leaving be- hind her all the comforts and lux- uries of the house that no longer seemed like home to her. She left them, and felt no pang of regret. Under the noon-tide sun the brown-shuttered house seemed to be taking a nap. Its shades were half- drawn, its front door was closed. The gate was closed, and it squeaked drowsily on its hinges when Pat and Lily pushed it open and went into the small green yard. There was a red-brick walk that went around the house to the Kitch- en door, and Pat, carrying the two suitcases, led the way to the back of the house. From the open window of the an's volce singing “My Old Ken- tucky Home,” and of water running into a sink. And along with those melodlous sounds an appetizing odor of fresh | bread came floating out through the open windows. “Mmm! Do you smell that? It reminds me that I'm hunghy!” Lily sald, as they went up the two steps that led to the back porch—the neatest back porch fmaginable, with a scrubbed table in the middle of it, and three pies standing on it to cool. | They were still steaming as it they had just been et there.

I know I as Job's turkey, and he know I'm lazy and selfish and good for nothing, don't you Pat?” She looked up at him, her head, in its wide hat, tilted back against his shoulder. He only pressed his red-brown, lean cheek against her white one for answer. “Can you fix up some place for | her to sleep tonight, Ma?" he asked. |“I'll run over to the garage and ® | Roy about getting a job, \mm wu two are getting acquainte ‘ He smiled at them both, his biue | eyes twinkling under their heavy, straight brows.

But when he was gone, Lily began lto feel chilled and strange in the friendly little house. Silence fell upon her as she followed Mrs. France upstaires to a little bedroom {at the back of the house—a little white bedroom, all dotted s cur- | tains and pale blue ribbons.

Be- side these things was a package of arets and a box of matches. When Lily opened the door of the kitchen a sccond later she lighted cigaret between her beauti- | tul, painted lips, and carrled the package in her hand. She sat down on a chair just in- ide the dor, crossing her slender gs in their pale yellow stockings and blowing clouds of blue-gray smoke towards the ceiling. “Let's sce,” she sald musingly. 1ppose T ought to call up Sue Cain and ask her to come to my wedding.
