She hud forgotten how handsome Ethan was; how strong, more than all, how kind! But he was scolding her a little, none the less, "My darling, gt tired yourself all out," he said. "What have they been letting you do?" "This 1s the man who used to look at me severely, because I was such & wild and useless flapper," she teased him. "Ethan, what an extremist you are, my dear! Rither I'm a butterfly or a martyr." 'You're a dozen girls in one" he told her as the car drew up at her home. "I'll never understand you. Helen darling, here's your house, and I haven't half finished talking to you. I haven't began, Let me come down to night." 'Why, weren't you going to?" she asked him innocently, and then laughed. ..... He laughed with her, "Helen, I'd forgotten how to be gay since you went away. I'll be over at eight, darling." She ran upstairs singing. She had not konw It was posiie to miss ye body as she missed Ethan, To be back--to be at home- Patricia and Ada Kingsway tomorrow morne ing, and the lovely estate of Kinsway to wander in; spring beginning to edge shyly in through the late wine hs and. marriage to Ethan coming closer . That was the only thing she did not likg to think about. Being mare ried to Ethan-~that would be wonde erful, But the thought of the actual marriage, and the preparations for it, frightened her a little. "If I could only go to sleep and wake up married," she thought... But that was silly... After all, just /because things .had happened that way once they needn't again, The thing to do was not to be a scare cat; to go ahead and set a day as | Ethan wanted, make plans, and gen- jerally be the sort of Helen that Jes- Isica and Doris thought she was Accordingly, she did. When Ethan, loverpromipt, awaited her down stairs in the little Birch parlor, she went down to him with her mind made up. |And when he sald ardently, 'When 'are we going to be married?" she laughed and told him to take out his pocket calender and she'd figure it out with him, He produced the calendar prompt- ily, and said, 'What do you think of ithe first of March?" 'Very well, then, Ethan. Masch £lrst." Ethan thrust the tiny calendar back into his pocketbook, and caught her [to him with a ery of trimph. ! "I thought I'd never manage it! 'You're therhardest bird to snare that lever flew!.... Darling, you've piomis- ed!" "Well, I always knew it had to be sometime," she sald naively, "only "Well, only-&" "Only I was a little frightened." 'I'd suggest your stopping work with Patricia, if it weren't that I see you moré that way," hc said, "Oh, no, I'm marrying Patricia along with you," she said ly.

Il drown myself--that's all" There was only one thing to do: to leave a note for Eth~a in case by any chance he returned before he was expected, and to go have it out with Ronny. She went through her day's work with Patricia; wrote her note; weighed it down with a paper-weight, "Patricia, will you see that Ethan gets this the minute he gets back?" she sald, pointing to it. 'The very minutes," Patricia ane swered idly, rocking back and forth nd where she stood by the wine ow. Patricia was curiously trustworthy. 80 Helen kissed the child good-bye ran up to see Mrs. Kingsway, as had come to be her habit, and took the bus for Wayne. She had broken her promise to Ethan; but ouly the boy on the Burning Deck would have kept it in a case like this, . Ethan would understand. She found Ronny, a dark look on his face, which was helped into the expression of a young villian by the smudges of grease and soot ineldent| to his new profession. "If Doris has sent you to try to keep me dangling any longer it's no, use" he said in a low angry voice | "Besides, I'm busy." 'Ill walt till your lunch hour," she said doggedly, He gave in. "Half an hour. Come back, and I'l be here" "Honest?" "Honest, You won't change any- thing, but I'll listen" She strolled aimlessly about che pretty little town till the time he had set, then returned. Sure enough tall and pallid, his jaw set. Me led the way to the little restaurant and bakery that was nearest them, and sald: "Go on" in a vice which was as encouraging as a stone wall. But he was not prepared for what she sald. Ronny, Doris' one idea is to come to you. You and she are going to have a baby; and she seems to think her place is either with you or in the Wissahickon. Také your choice." His tense, handsome young latern- jawed face turned very white, "You're not lyin#?---No, You don't. Helen, are you suro-" "As sure 25 T can be of any\ning on earth, I tell vou. Ronny she is desperate. And she wants to come to you more than anvthing on earth only she's. frightened." # "#Yes, that's it--poor Dory, she's al ways frightened," he sald, but he spoke tenderly. "Helen, you're & good sport." 'And you'll go to see her, and take her away?" "Ill go this very evening. Wait. I think I can switch my day off." Helen did not want to let him out of her sight, so she waited till he had made his arrangements, and took him back with her. She called up Doris first. : "Ronny's coming back with me," she said briefly, "It'll all night, Meet us at the bus-top." " All He yay aver Ronny sat hold- ng on mself visibly, occasional- beginning to say something and then being stopped by the recollection that there were other people in the g. : "Won't it ever get there?" he sald under his breath at intervals, When it finally arrived Helen saw a little figure in a hesvy squirrel cont stand. ing quivering at the stopping-place. saw Ronny jump out over ev 's feet, saw the tall figure and the 1it- tle one fall into each other's arms, and got out. making her way toward her own home happily. myself to sharing you with all of lame ducks and sisters in afflic- ** tion--" | "But that isn't anything," she to his face against hers, "I to have to share you with the whole town of Kingsway." "1 don't love Kingsway. Not that way. You do love so many people, Helen!" "And 1 shall continue to," Helen with spirit. "You the most." | He sighed a little, "I suppose it's | the best you can do for me!"

The two girls walked on in silence till they gained Helen's room at the Birch house.

They had also grown and wanted more facilities for which they had to pay in cash. This factor was also an impors tant cause of the flow of natives to the towns, 'During the last five years there has been a complete revolution in the character of the stocks which stores. in native areas carry," he sald..Where formerly they stocked what was known as tative truck, they now carry shirts and collars and ties. The natives are very particular about the quali. ty of the clothing they buy, and crepe-de-chine underwear is often sold in native areas." What hap« pened today was that natives ran up large debts and then went to the towns to earn the. money to pay them. The only way fn which the flow of rural people to the towng ron about a completd re. 1 agrarian life, Even then thore would always be some people who would come to the towns. There were many boys in the country who might be quite useless at agricul: ture but were brilliant at earpen. tering or similar trades, and they would always seek the towns.

'Some charity leads nowhere, Social work should mean the building up of a people, and whatever social service you provide it should be definitely aimed in be stopped, he sald, was to bring | that direction.
