having paid her each night saved the situation for laru prom her father and mother she carefully concealed the fact that her temporary job was almost unendurable she even forced herself to joke about going out to ser vice during the day at least there need be no contact with the hartrldge crowd to her dismay however she discover ed on wednesday morning that she baa been overconfident on this point at the time she and tony doro were busy trimming the hedge at the rear of the house between this green wall and the vegetable garden opposite ram a narrow uphill back road which branched from the main highway about a quartermile below steep and rocky the trail anally lost itself at the edge of the woods a little farther on the chugging of a car made iira look tip coming into night was a chocolate- colored roadster driven by a scurlet- bweft tired girl a econd girl nt beilde her julia tenwlck and oracc hartrldge i the pair drew up by the hedge does this road lead anywhere im periously calltd out

ond wait there till you hear from me the boy obediently complied heartkick lora turned to the other two tonys really not responsible she explained he tiasnt developed like other boys i cant understand his doing what he did though for usually i m not lh the least interested in his history again interrupted the furious julia but 1 will give you a choice of two things either call the police or pay for a new tire lorn groaned inwardly how much would the new tire cost she inquired faintly ten dollars came the crisp refiponm ttn dollars 1 the amount would taice t more than her earnings for the past two nights sadly lora thought of the few neatly- folded bills put safely away in her ctsk drawtr she could save them only at the exptnseor tony but that would he unjiiai unfair wrong though the poor boy v as he had uitti been impelled by a mistaken sense of loyalty arrest would onl make him the more vindictive he must be dealt with less harshly i ii gt t the monc decided lora sob rly returning a

enough to know that you must have been through an awful ordeal these past two days and youve been wonderful simply wonderful he held out his hand bhall we for get these sluy girls who are more thoughtless than intentionally cruel arid renew our friendship on the old footing more than ever did lora feel an almost uncontrollable impulse to cry she look ed at the outstretched hand hesitated gulped down her tears u if she finally faltered you had onlyeonui up to see you he finished guessltuj what she was trying to say why here i ami but not to see rrieshe insisted most decidedly to see you came the emphatic eon tradition you dldn t imagine it was because lora nodded dumbl suddenly feeling very much ashamed of herself t would have made it monday or yes terday further explained
