{HF STORY: Cassie Fietcher is
(he maii support of her family
and feels such a burden of respon
sibility - toward them that she
urns down Mike Cargill’'s pro
posal of marriage, even though
che i¢ in love with him. When
Leni, her spoiled 17-year-old
(ster, and wealthy Lon Cavendish
ity to elope, they are headed off
py Cassie and Parker Hamilton, a
{riend of Low’s. The next day Leni
vows she’ll get even, Parker Ham
iiton brings Cassie a note for Leni
from Lomn. P
Cassie never knew what Lon
had said in the note, but Leni
didn’t cry any more. There was
instead an air of secret satisfaction
about her, when she wasn’t play
acting the role of martyr. Mama
habied her worse . than ever,
catered to every whim within rea
son, and Cassie did her best to
jeep peace in the family. R
There was never a word from
Mike. There’d been a piece in the
paper about his departure, and
papa mentioned it, but Cassie kept
quiet. |
]n was her own secret, about
Mike. A terrible aching secret..
The last week in August was
Cassie’s vacation. She decided to
spend the time shopping for Leni's
school clothes, and_Sid’s, and to
iry to fix the house up some. |
Leni wanted new sweaters and
ckirts. That's what all the girls
were wearing. She told Cassie
she’d like a good dress for the
holidays, something nice, velvet
cen maybe, appropriate to wear
dancing. And some good shoes, too.
Those thing could wait, though.
Cassie knew what it . meant.
Christmas Lon would be in Mor
{onville. That was likely what heé’d
promised in the note, and that was
what kept Leni contented.
School started, © and Cassie
heaved a sigh of relief, because it
ook Sid off the streets, and Leni
would be busy. l
[t was one November day, close
to Thanksgiving, a windy raw
day with an occasionalisharp sting
of rain in the air, that she ran
into Parker Hamilton again. l
She had on a new brown hat,l
high-crowned and sleek, tilted
rakishly over one eye, and her!
hair grown long now was brushed
into a soft, shining sheath. You
had to keep up a good appearance
when you worked in the Caven
dish building.
She came out of the elevator in
a hurry, wanting to get a bus
before the crowds came from the
stores. She ran squarely into a
tall man, and when she looked up, |
aware of the smell of tweed and
tobacco and expensive cologne, .
he grinned.
“Hello there, spitfire,” he said.
He took her elbow and led her
aside from the crowd! 3
His shy but infectious grin
brought an answering upward tilt
1o her own mouth. If she had been
unbearably rude to him he had
evidently forgotton, or decided to
ignore it.
“Do you work here?” © °
She nodded. 5
“I wondered if T wodldn’t run
into you somewhere again. 1—"
he gave her a quizzical examina

~_“l'm sorry I was so unpleasant,”
Cassie said. “It’s nice seeing you
again.” She started to go. i
“Wait. Wait a minute.” He
touched her arm again. “How
about letting me drive you home.
It’s such a bad day. Raining.”
“It isn’t raining now,” Cass said,
looking out.
“But it will at any moment.” ‘
Her laughter mingled with his
and he took her arm. |
It was rather nice, having a man
handing you into a fine car,
someone like Parker Hamilton, so
that people looked with respectful
curiosity, and the other girls from
the Cavendish building going
along the street stared enviously.
“How’s Leni?” He started the
car. |
-“Fine.” She noted that his face
was very tanned. Her own sum-|
mer tan had almost disappeared
by now. His hands on the wheel
were brown, long, strong-looking
hands. |
“The Cavendish family is com- |
ing to Mortonville for Christmas,
I think.” Maybe he was aware of
her faint stiffening, for he added, |
“Maybe I shouldn’t have men-‘
tioned it. Has Leni heard from
him?” ‘
“Once or twice, I think” !
She wanted to think of some—!
thing to say. It was queer—it
took a chance encounter like this:
with someone she almost disliked, |
to make her realize how lonely |
she’d been lately. l
“Have you been away?” he!
asked. “You look so tanned.”’ {
“Oh that.” He laughed. “I spend
a lot of time on the farm we own
up the river. I fished all of Octo
ber, and then we’ve got some
bird dogs I like to take out for |
a run now and then. There’s been
some repair work done on the ‘
house too, and I had to supervise
that. Nothing for me to do around
the bank while Dad’s still active,
you know. Finances and stuff bore
me stiff, anyhow.”
“It must be nice to be rich!” It
was out before Cassie knew it, a
sarcastic, cutting statement.
“Nice?” He gave her a long
stright look. “Oh, I don’t know.
It isn’t so nice to have no purpose
in life, nothing to look forward to.
No—well—no nothing.”
“] suppose not.” At least, she
was thinking, it was pleasant not
to have to grub all day in a stuffy
office, punching a typewriter,
writing dull business letters, and
then go home to more dullness. It
was fine also to look well dressed
—to have that effortless look of
quality!
He interrupted her thoughts.
“Let’s don’t quarrel again, please!”’
She said nothing .They were on
Carson street and it had started to
rain again, the wind blowing raw
and wild, whining through the
bare trees, whipping off a few last
brown leaves, sailing them through
the air. 2
¢Could I see you again, Cassie?”
he asked suddenly, as he parked
the car in front of the house. He
turned toward her, and there was
something hungry in his face that
stopped the negative answer on
the tip of her tongue.
