made gratifying progress and every
day looked forward tb her ride with
greater pleasure.
One day she overheard some girls
in the Y. W. cafeteria talking about
the Chinese restaurants, and; her in-
terest aroused, she set out to explore
these exotic places.
One evening she went there for
dinner, pleasantly weary after a day
of riding and driving the car.
Dreamy and contented„ she pres-
ently wandered out of the restaurant,
to realize a moment later that she
had left her book on the tablet She
retraced her steps.
A man was sitting at the table she
had occupied, and ` she was discon-

hastily. She pushed her check in at
him and stod on tiptoe with breath-
less impatience while he :deliberately
counted out the money. Then she
seized it, thanked him abruptly and
almost ran out to the car again.
When they were well out of town,
humming swiftly along the smooth
roads, Joyce felt her nervous fear ev-
aporate under the stimulus of an ir-
resistibly .mounting spirit of advent-
ure. This was going to be fun, site
reflected happily.
They reached San Francisco about
noon and Joyce parted from Sam with
mingled feelings of relief and regret.
As soon as she was installed in her
clean little room at the big Y,W.C,A,
building she . proceeded irnmediately
to carry out her' plan of action.
The days passed rapidly. In the.
mornings Joyce went out for her in-
structions in driving a car. In these
drives, much to her surprise, she had
little trouble in learning to handle at

Joyce discovered that her new friend

been written, and that his enthusi

eagerly with her • opinions of Robert
Ainsworth, who, he said, he "revered
above all other moderns," He prais-
ed Ainsworth so lavishly in fact, that.
Joyce had a sudden sense that he
was making fun of her, and for the
first time she felt a slight hostility
toward him. She could not bear her
admiration for Ainsworth, whom she
considered so gifted a writer.
Hastily getting her bearings, she
discovered that they had gone in a
circle and were again near the Y. W.
C. A:., and she therefore led their
steps in that direction.
"Good-bye," she said, "and it's been
great fun .talking with you. I'm only
sorry you don't-quite—feel as I do
about Robert, • Ainsworth, Under the
circumstances, r shall have no com-
punctions about claiming my book!"
"Qh, but. I do share your enthusi-
asm!" He bowed somewhat mocking-
ly, and held up the book. "But will
you let me sign the little • sketch?"
he propped the book up on his knee,
and wrote in it, slowly, meticiously;
waved it about with maddening de-
liberation to blot the ink; then hand-
ed it to her, closed.
"Good-bye, Miss—?"
"Joyce Ashton," she said without
thought.
He raised his hat and was gone.
Joyce was frankly disappointed.
"He might have said he'd like to
see me again," she thought, then add-
ed, "But, oh dear, I've no right to go
about being charmed by strange men!
Why, oh why, did I have to meet so
vital and intelligent a man—it'll on-
ly make life harder for me!"
She opened the book, too upset in
her thoughts at first to grasp what
she saw.
Beneath the sketch was written, in
an exceedingly beautiful handwriting,
"Robert Ainsworth!"

stared at him, frankly curious,
He was much taller and looked al-
most

his age as about' thirty-one or two,
A splendid physique undoubtedly,
with wide shoulders and strong arms.
As for his face, the details of it im-
pressed themselves on Joyce , 'so:
strongly in the first few minutes of
their meeting that she felt she wolud
never lose the picture.
"I'm afraid I'm not altruistic en-
ough to give the book to you," laugh-
ed Joyce, "Robert Ainsworth is one
of my favorite authors, and I've.
wanted to get hold of this book for
years, but never could. It's out of
print, you know—'?
The little Chinese waitress, subtly
smiling, approached. "Some tea?"
she asked.
Joyce rose hastily. "No, no, I must
go—"
"Then I'll go with you," he said
at once, thrusting a bill in the hand
of the little Chinese girl, and follow-
ing Joyce, who was a little ` bewild-
ered but glowing with pleasure.
They walked for over an hour, and

problem enough to occupy her. More
and more the subject of his return
grew on her as formidable reality,
Joyce had time during these two,:
weeks to wonder about the friends,
she had left hi the East. Did they
everr think about her? She had been
secretary to one of the members of
the Lyman-Warde firm of advertis-
ing`agents, • Mr. John K. Lyman, was
an elderly, impersonal gentleman
who had nevcr .appeared to recognize
the fact that she might have a life
• f'
outside of the office. At the end of
three years of this sort of existence
Joyce was deathly sick of the city
and the monotonous routine of her
days, from the early morning scram-
ble for her turn in the bathroom to
the evening crush in the crowded,
Stuffy trolley cars.
Joyce :had made a sudden desperate
decision to get out of it all and try
some other, part of the country.
Recklessly she gave tip her posi-
tion, sold her Liberty. Bonds, bought
a ticket for SanFrancisco with stop-
over privileges at Chicago and Den-
ver, said good-bye to her friends and
started out for the 'West, of which
she had, to be frank, only the vaguest
general knowledge.
As she lay inher bed in the Y.' W.
C. A., Joyce smiled and frowned al-
ternately at the thought of how her
plan had turned` out. -.
Thirteen days after she had left
Manzanita, Joyce 'received the word
that ended her solitary campaign to
fit herself for taking the position of
Frills Packard again, The morning
mail enclosed a laconic telegram from
Neil: "Arrive Manzanita Monday ev-
ening." This was Monday morning.
Joyce immediately got Sam on long
distance and asked him to drive to
the city for her.
On the way home she questioned
him with forced interest about all
that had happened in her absence.
Sam obligingly imparted what news
he could think up: Dickie had won
the love of both Roxie and Marcia;.
Rosita was in fine condition; Sam
had exercised her a Tittle every day
but she was raring to go and Mrs.
Packard would find her full of pep;
there had been a small fire at the
packing plant but almost no, damage
had been done; and son on, a list
of trivial items to which Joyce lis-
tened with an interest that grew in
spite of herself.
Dickie was at the gate to meet hien
and his joyous welcome filled Joyce
with a quite disproportionate sense of
the pleasure of corning home. But
when she entered the big luxurious
It was inevitable that Joyce should
think a great dealaboutRobert Ains-
worth in the ,days that followed. She
was an emotional girl, of warm,
staunch enthusiasms and Robert
Ainsworth won her unbounded ad-
miration.
That she should ever meet him had
not entered her wildest dreams. In
fact, had she been introduced to him,
she would have been tongue-tied, cov-
ered with the confusion of awe. Even
looking back on their conversation,
she blushed to think how boldly she
had advanced her opinions before
him! At the same time, she glow-
ed with the realization that she had
been absolutely herself, and that he
had regarded her as at least intelli-
gent enough to talk to.
It had been such a relief to shed
the mantle of Frills Packard and dis-
T.hursL,
"So that's your new dog, is it;?
Hullo, feller, you're a cute cuss, all
right. Come here, boy!" Dickie was

ed, "he has one great pas:ignn' la life,
and that's to be given something to

'
Her voice faltered.a lifts.t the
end when she looked up and.'met the
puzzled expression on Packard's face.
"Dinner's almost ready," she went
on hastily, ' abandoning Dickie as a

this somewhat bitter.
Days went by and Joyce drifted on.
until one day she drew her thoughts
up sharly, She had allowed herself
to grow forgetful of her situation, to
visualize Frills Packard as a separate

whole life in Manzanita, Little as
