"Why, Corey!" She held out a

"You'd never guess it! Corey,

his spirits soared. Sally must be
glad to see him, after all! "What

do to deserve such treatmentV

chintzes and profusion of flowers, i
Sally was proud of the fact that i
she had made it so home-like now J
that she had taken over the task j

"I'm sorry if you feel I've neg-;

"Rumor has it," Corey said,
flinging his long length down into
a deep chair, "that you didn't go I
back to school, my sweet. How
come? Did the grind get you
down? I suppose you've been,
busy flirting and dancing and

There was something about
Sally that he had not noticed
before. He could not put his
finger or: it. call it by name. Sh«
was prettier than ever, if possible,
her dark curls drawn back with
a narrow pink ribbon, her dainty
frock matching the slight flush in
her cheeks. Yet he felt that, some
term because she had decided to i
stay home with her father. "I
never realized," Sally said, "how i
Daddy missed me, how all alone I
he was. I decided to stay here
with him; this is a big house you j
know for one person." Sally's
mother had died when she was a j
child. "Daddy never complained. I
But I know now how glad he is,
to have me with him." She knew j
now, too, how much she had miss
ed the companionship she had
never before taken time to share
with the father who had given
her so much. . * - '
"I don't expect you find much
time to be with him now!" Corey
laughed at this idea. He knew
how full the life was of a popular
pirl like Sally, one parti,' after
another, a date for every waking
moment, a round of places every
night, a few hours' sleep squeezed
in each morning. Pretty hectic,
but fearfully exciting and gay.
No time to spate beside the home
fires, or to waste in solitude or
thought. Never a dull moment.
"I hope," Corey added, "that
you're going to have some time
for me. Sally, my pet. W e'll do
all the hot-spots, paint the town
crimson, if you say the word. This
will be my last play-time for a
■spell. After graduation I'm going i
to settle down for keeps. You j
won't know me, I'm going to be
such a different guy! I've got my
mind all set on a certain goal.
And you know when I set out to
do something I won't give up un
til I make the grade."

He put a subtle implication be
hind his light words. For the goal
Corey had set his mind on win
ning was Sally herself. "By the
way," he added, not giving her a
chance to say whether she was

not, "have you forgotten that you

made? Check Sally, my sweet?
About Dan Reynolds, I mean.
That was one man you failed to
tame and get to eat out of your
pretty hand." Corey was so pre
occupied in lighting a cigaret that
he did not notice the swift flash]
of pain in Sally's bright eyes, or
the color ebb from her cheeks.
"That's one reason for this visit.
I came to collect!"
"How is Dan?" Sally asked.
This was the reason she had wel
comed Corey so heartily, had been
j;lad to see him. This was the
question she had been waiting to
ask him. She wondered how she
could ask it now so quietly, when
it meant so much to her, when
during these long months that had
been the only question weighing
on her mind.
She had had reports, of course,

from someone who knew Dan,
who had seen him just recently,

"He's coming along," Corey
glanced up at Sally now. There
had been something in her voice.
That new note of quietness, of
stability that somehow seemed to
be what marked the difference in
her that he had sensed. "As well
as can be expected. He hobbled
about on crutches, after more
than a month lying flat. He's
walking now again."
"Walking?" Sally's eyes shone,
her breath came with a little rush
of relief and joyousness. "Oh,
Corey, I'm so glad. I was afraid
he might never walk—the same

"I hardly think so." Corey
would no thave answered quite so
bluntly, had he known what a
blow it would be to Sally. "He'll

churches and societies on Sunday.

Word was with God, and the
Word was God. All things were
made by hiin; and without him
