Just clsmli^red up four
flights .of MUirs, and
marched rather > solemnly
tl/ length of four dark
h^s. All t^ doors were closed In the,^
hiQl^; behind them she had heard'
people laughing, and having a good
time. In her arms she had carried a

Dolly didn’t care.< Here in her small
room, with the rickety dresser and
uncomfortable chair, she began think
ing of Christmas at home. She assured
herself that she was perfectly satis
fied where she was, but it Jfd no harm
to remember some of the fun she had
had In the square old house in the
village.
She forgot her supper; she forgot
that she was goiag ts the “movies.”
She sat on the edge of hcr'bed and
desped her hands ni'eund her,knees.
Her blue eyes were blind to the
cracked window shade and the diuity
looklrg globe of the electric light She
saw instead the big lamp on the mid
dle of the living room table at homo.
The lamp had a cheerful yellow shade.
Looks and inagazines were scattered
about. Her mother was wrapping up
the last packages. Her father, In house
slippt rs, was smoking a pipe and read
ying the local paper. Her younger sister
was rewlng on a pin cushion destined

thought of settling down in the dull
village.
“But we won’t stay here always,”
Roger had begged.
, “No,” Dolly replied. And they went
home without saying another word.
“Well,” sighed DoUy aloud, “I must
get my supper.”
W’hlle she was busy heating water
for coffee, cutting and buttering bread
rnd washing lettuce in her sink she
heard a man’s footstep pass the door.
Why she listened gt his passing she
could not guess, but when a rlear
whistle broke the chill silence of the
I’.all site dropped the lettuce, and with
out knowing wliot she was doing, she
flung open the door.
Dolly pursed her Ups and whistled
a feeble likeness to the cheery tune
now descending the stairs. The w hole
expression of her face hqd changed.
, Her eyes sparkled, her face Avas
flushed, her very hair Seemed to curl
more prettily about her ears.

A tall man with'broad shoulders and
red hair. He wheeled about at the
newel post and stared at Dolly. At
this point she stopped: .'Whistling and
grinned a wide, happy youthful grin.
“I’d know that tune, Roger, If I heard
It In China!” she called out The young
man made great haste In approaching.
He had nothing to spy whatever. He
merely sent his hat foiling somewimre
into the shadows "and took Dolly in '
his orms. He hugged her until she
gasped for breath.
After a while she persuaded him to j
find his hat and come Into her room, j
“To think,” said Roger, “that I have i
combed this dam city fore and aft to j
find you. You know yon ihoved a month j

To think I chose this house, this very

Dolly twinkled at him out of her
blue eyes. Roger looked .about at the
rickety dresser, the. narrow bed,, the
one nncomfortable chair. He said
nothing hut his voice was very tender
when he finally took her hand and
said softly: “We can catch the nine
o’clock train for home. If you hurry.
I came to get you, Dolly. I could not
bear to think of you alone in this
dreary hole. Your mother and father
are waiting for us. They’ve hung up
