Ellen's relatives Insist that Valerie come to live with them, but Mark is just as Insistent that she stay with him. ; Dorothy, El- len's sister, has her eye on the trust fund that Ellen left Valerie, and has already begun to make efforts to obtain custody of the girl. She insists that Valerie wear black, but Mark says she can --have-whatever clothes please her most, Chapter V, "We'll find your favorite shop, and buy 'em out. Bul maybe you'd better not tell Dorothy." "Oh--no--" N He laughed at the horror In Val- crie's- eyes. Then he decided it was no laughing matter. - * * *. The train slipped away from the platform. Valerie and Mark had almost missed it. Mark apologized steadily for the two minutes left _him.__and _said things about the - traflic. pt He was so charming, Valerie wondered how. Dorothy could look a him-so ecrossly. She and Paul stood in the vestibule of their car, behind glass, for now the door was shut in their faces. Her aunt looked out at them grimly as they stood side by «side-on the plat. she looked like Miss Wea. , al Dolton, bursting with things to say, most of which would make you wish you had never been born. {t was funny, because of course she didn't really look lke Miss Weatherbee at all. It was something sort of behind her face. Maybe it was her thoughts. Anyway, she had on chance to speak, for suddenly the train was gone, leaving a faintly disturbing scent of smoke about their heads.

"I mean--Iit sort of goes up your spine--" "Let's Go Away" Mark stopped short to look down on her. "Can you belong by any chance, to the Brothers of the Wan- dering Foot?" he asked. "Because if so, you've picked the right pag ent. Just give me a few months at the factory to®make 'em think they can't get on without me, and I'l show you a real vacation." "You mean--away?" "Nothing else but. Where would you be wanting to go?" California, please--and the South Seas = nowhere cold--unless you . like it--" " "California and the South Seas are all right with me." They came out of the station, found the parked roadster, and headed for shops. Mark asked which one she preferred, and Val Cran, she's good for me, Bhe takes me down. It she looks at me long, I begin to wonder. if my face 1s dirty, or if I have a caterpillar on my collar--" Ie Valorie giggled delightfully. She - knew Mrs. Banwood's effect on one. "She's only my second-- I mean housekeepor," she explain ed. "There was one at school. It the girls met her in the halls, we Wo never knew why we ran, We just did. So of course Mrs. Banwood seems pretty mild to me." ' "I dare say she is really," sald Mark. "It's probably my guilty conscience." . . . . Mark headed for his factory next morning. Ho h¥d, he said, to show up at least for the day, before they went adventuring, He wondered a bit uneasily what Valerie would do without him. It was the first stime he had left her, He put it to her at breakfast,but she told him solemnly that with her old things to transfer to Mrs. Banwood, lier new ones to pack, the day would be hardly long enough. He left her standing out on the wide steps, the morning breeze in her hair, her right hand raised in a queer little salute as he wheeled his roadster around the curve ot the drive and was gone. Valerie watched his car vanish among the trees. She felt small and insignificant, and at the same time terribly important, It was pleas. antly confusing.
