NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1928 CHAPTER XLVIIT Sally, crouching on the floor eof her roows, spread the crackling sheets of The Capital City Preas, her eyes devouring the two-col- umn picture of David Nash. Two lines of typ: above the photo- aph leaped out at her: “Honor graduate of A. & M.| inherits grandfather's farm.” He hadn’t been injured or Killed in an accident, he wasn't married; In a frenzy of relief and gratitude 10 the God she had just heen accus- ing of deserting her, Sally Barr, who had been Sally Ford, bent her head until her lips rested on the lips of the photograph. And it was rather a pity that Arthur Van Horne, “con- neisscur of kissing,” was not there 1o sce the passionate fervor of the Nisses which the girl whom he had dismissed eontemptuouly was rain- JNE UPON AN UNTCspoNsive newspaper | picture.

Gone was the pinched, white, shame-stricken face, and in its place was heauty such as she had never dreamed: she possessed. She turned away from the mirror, tremulous and abashed, for what she had to do would not be easy. Her eyes tried to avoid the ex- quisite photograph of her mother that stood in its blue leather frame on the dressing table, but at last she snatched it up and carried it against her breast as she ran to her desk. Bhe felt that she was talking to Enid as she wrote, pleading for underatanding and forgiveness from those dreaming, misty, corn- flower-blue eyes: “Mother, darling: I'm running away, to go to David. Please don't iry to stop me or bring me back. for I'll have to run away again if vou do. I'm going to marry David hecause I love him with all my heart and because he is the only man I could ever marry without canging you shame.

Enid commanded, her | lovely voice sharpened with anger and fear, When Sally had repeated the con- temptuous, sneering speech as a curatel yas possible, her mother's face, which had been almost ugly with anger and disgust, cleared i miraculously. “The man is an unspeakable cad, darling, but I am almost glad it happened, since you escaped un- scathed.
