Stood Up “He stood me up—and for Bren­ da,” she muttered as she unpacked the picnic basket and put the food in the refrigerator. Strangely enoughs she didn’t feel angry at Rusty. It was Brenda she blamed. * Somehow, Brenda had found out about his picnic date and contrived to make himrbreak it. “And why shouldn’t he?” she asked the four walls, despondently. “She's got everything on her side. And I, I’ve been nothing but a failure, I even was such a sap that I let a bunch of slickers beat me out of the horse that Old Tim was banking on for our future.” , So she walked to the window which looked out onto the street, and idly watched the dancing sun­ beams streaming through the open shutters of the Venetian blind.

Suddenly, she started up, awake now, “Oh, my goodness, Pat, take me home, please. I’ve got a million things to do today, and here we are wasting time at the breach!” ‘How unromantic,” he comment­ ed, wryly, stepping on the starter and swinging the car back toward, town. “And I’d just asked you 'to marry me.” “Forgive tritely. “I abrupt, but I have a very important day ahead of me* I’ve got to get some rest, too, Obligations “You’re the most in the world to me, else matters as far ed.

He parked the car against a sea wall and they sat for some minutes in silent appreciation of the beauty of the night,- * Low Tide It was low 'tide, and Anne was fascinated watching the. long swells breaking far but and sweeping, in shore in long foamy white lines making no more than a hissing mur mur as they spread out over the dan dy beach. It seemed the most natural thing in the world When Pat’s arm slip­ ped about her and she put her head on his shoulder.
