' ' - . SYNOPSIS Charles Edward Chipping, a master at Brookfield School for - 20 years, has never been able to make "friends with the boys due to having fallen out with them early in his first term. The Ger. man master persuades him to ace "company him on a walking tour of the Tyrol one summer. He is caught in 2 mist on the mountain and in thé fog climbs up to "res. cue" an English girl, Kathie Ellis. , They, are both greatly attracted to cach other and meet again in Vienna where Kathie persuades him to dance with her. CHAPTER VII "You Kissed Me!" Dancing with Kathie did strange things to Chipping: his heart beat faster than. it had for sages; a feeling of contentment, of happi- ness, flowed through his veins; even his muscles, unaccustomed to the movements of the dance, lim- bered; almost it was as if he were floating about in the mists of a mountain top--alone with. Kathie. "Like it?" he 'asked, with a © tentative smile of tenderness. "Love it!" "As much as you hoped?" "And more. Yow re doing splendidly." Many.eyes followed them about the ballroom, for Katherine Ellis was a - strikingly beautiful girl, and Chipping cut a fine figure in his rented evening clothes, for he had never put' on" excess weight ~and he was half a head taller ing to you, Mr, than Kathie. Max and Flora turn- ed amazed -cyes upon them every time they whirled past. "FEvening dress is very. becom- Chipping," Kathie said. He preened a little at the com- pliment. "You- approve?" "Heartily."" "Then 1 suppose | shall bave to _ buy it." As time went on the dancers thinned, but Chipping was on the floor with Kathie for every num- ber. The last waltz, Strauss's dreamy, half melancholy "Wiener- blut," was drawing towards its end. Their faces had become graver, and they vere silent. "A Penny For Your Thoughts" ~ Chipping looked down dt the face so close to him, at the long, curved eyelashes.

Kathie stood still, looking up at sogething - Chipping. "Can't you remember?" . "I" wanted to say- that -you've made this the most wonderful holiday of my life, and--" Again the horn tooted, and the voices of Max and Flora called "Kathie!" "Miss Kathie!" - : "You must go," said: Chipping forlornly. "Goodbye, Miss Kathie." Kathie took his hand. "Good- bye Mr. Chips!" She had invented a nickname for him, A sudden warmth of ten. derness, and ache of loneliness-to- come, swept 6ver Chips. 'And then, suddenly, Kathie arose on her tiptoes and kissed him lightly on the lips,. turned and jumped hastily into the train. -- Chips stood in an utter daze of amazement and delight, unable to believe his senses. A woman, an adorable, beautiful young woman, _ had kissed him--Chips, the old "| bachelor schoolmaster!

But the train was going so fast that his hand slip- ped from the sill of her window, and Kathie's face was disappear- ing. "Kathie! Goodbye!" He came to a standstill, staring after Kathie's window, stark trag- edy on his face, And then Max Staefel laid a hand on his arm. Chips turned to. him. "She's gone! I don't know where she's gone! I may never see her again!" "I should not Worry, Chipping," said Max comfortingly., 'Miss Flora has selected the church al. ready--and 1 any to be best man," At Chip's bewildered look, Max laughed with amused, affectionate sympathy, "My good fellow, do emotion, = stam. a my .you imagine that we were both blind and deaf?
