against him in the cool rushing
darkness. “He must realiy be in
love with me—a little bit. Or he
wouldn't have said that,” she fig
ured.
The Lolly pop Inn was small and
white. It had a green shingle roof
and green shutters. There were
green pine trees all around it, and
a white picket fence along the
front of its broad green lawn.
“I can't imagine anything wicked
ever happening in this place,” Chat
ty declared, walking up the steps to
the wide porch that starry night in
May. “Jt looks Just like somebody's
sweet little country house. Dave.”
The food was tfie kind of food
that would have been served in al
most any farm house in America,
too. The same kind of fried chick
en that, they had had the night be
fore. The same kind of fried pota
toes and deep-disli apple pie cover
ed with thick, rich cream.
“And you can get the same sort
of gin here that you can in any
low-down speakeasy in town, too,"
Dave said grimly, when he and
Chatty were having their coffee.
He pulled out his watch and look
ed at it.
“It's half past nine.” he went or.
“In another hour this place will be
waking up—and by twelve things
will be moving pretty fast. It’s no
place for a nice girl then, believe
me.”
All the way heme they talked
about prohibition, and Chatty kept
wondering what he would think of
her if he knew that she had a
young brother who sold liquor to
kind of people who came out to the
Lollypop Inn late at night and
made things “move pretty fast.”
But when the car drew up to the
curb in the shadow of the maple
tree in front of the Lipton street
apartment. Chatty torgot all about
Pud and all about her other worries
and fears. For Dave took her in his
arms, just as he had taken her in
them the night before, and he kiss
ed her again.
“You’re the sweetest thing on
earth.” he said to her huskily, as
they went up the stairs to the sec
ond floor landing. And there he
kissed her again.
“How CAN life be so wonderful
all of a sudden?” Chatty asked her
self. lying awake in bed for a long
time tijat night.
It was not until she was ready
for work the next morning that sht
missed her handbag.
And then she spent five minutes
hunting all over the fiat for it be
fore she remembered that she had
tucked it into a comer of Dave
Jordan's Pride of America the night
before.
The thought made her go cold
and sick all over . .. Suppose he had
opened it. and iound that tom diary
of Agnes Hcrford s in it! Her name
was written in it, too, Chatty re
membered.
“Oh. I hope he hasn't opened it!”
Chatty found herself actually pray
ing that he hadn’t, all the way
down town.
But he was nowhere in sight
when she opened the door of the
office at half past eight.
She took off her things and sat
down at her switchboard to wait for
him.
After a minute or two she heard
the squeak of a door opening be
nind her, and swung around to see
if it were Dave coming in.
But it was not Dave. It was Ag
nes Herford. She had opened the
doer of her own small office, and
she was coming across the big room
to Chatty. In her hands was a
small black-covered book.
‘‘Look!” she gasped. “My diary!
Somebody's tom out part of it! You
were here late on Monday night.
The night I lost my desk key. you
know? Did you see anybody go into
my office?”
Chatty shook her smooth, little
golden head. "I didn’t see a soul,'
I she answered, as calmly as if she
were telling the truth.
