CHAPTER XXXVIII.
at
Nothing exciting happened supper. Eva clamped her lips to- gether and opened them practically for the sole purposes of partaking of the creamed mushrooms that Helen had prepared, while Shalli- mar and Bob danced to the music of a phonograph,
Bob talked with his eyes, which Helen avoided looking at as much as possible. He had, she thought, a mean streak a mile wide to encer at her, even if he didn't put it into words.
She herself tried to keep the con- versation going by talking of the show at the Garden, but Shallimar kept interrupting to tell of the place where she and Bob had spent the evening.
Once when Shallimar reached out a hand and laid it possessively on one of Bob's Helen flinched,
The gesture seemed somehow to upset Bob too. He looked across the table at Eva. "Let's go home, sis," he said: “you look tired."
Eva jumped to her feet without delay. "Do you mind if we run, Helen?" she begged. "I am tired"
"So am I,
Shalimar chimed in. "Bob, you simply exhaust me." Very prettily she suppressed yawn, though her eyes were wide awake. They seemed to be, to any one who was interested in reading their expression, sharing a secret with Bob.
"You

she said.

Eva hesitated for half a moment. Would Bob go at

Eva crumbled Into a heap on the side of the bed. Bob reached out and took her into his arms.
"Poor little kid," he whispered, "poor little thing."
She lay quiet, trying to under- stand the full meaning of what he had said to her.. At a certain point it became unbearable. She lifted her head, and her eyes were person reaching for life, so fran- like the hands of a drowning tic, so wild, was their plea.
"I don't believe you! I don't he- lieve you!' she cried.
"Hush, honey, huah," Robj soothed her. "Mother will hear us. She's worried nearly to death! about you as it is. Don't let her know that you've fallen for that dirty dog."
But Eva would not be quieted, until Bob suggested that she go to Brent had not been her affianced Helen and ask her outright ́ if

to
"But enn't you see that it is?" Bob pressed. "You're not denying that you and Brent.... why hasn't he been open about it, Eva? Why washasn't he come here? And who has Helen been seeing besides him? There isn't anyone, is there?"
Eva gasped. "Well," she said, "you certainly can keep a secret, Helen."
"I'll tell you all about it some day." Helen promised; "but I'd rather not talk of it any more now, Eva. It's ended, but Rob didn't have enought faith in me to see it through. Or maybe he didn't love me after all."
"Nonsense." Eva exclaimed.
*
"It might be someone she knew] before she came to Yonkers," Eval offered hopefully; "someone who is away."
"No, he is here, where she can see him. She was going to see him and ask him to let her marry just me. Let her marry me!" Bob re-
peated the words with heat.
"But it isn't Leonard. I know it isn't" Eva wailed.
"But if it were?" Bob insisted. "Oh. I don't know! I don't
know!"

"They're worth a
nice big kiss!"9
It's a big favour for one child to share those treasured "Ovaltine" Rusks with another. A nice big kiss is a small reward for rusks so delightfully crisp and so deliciously crunchy.
A child's instinct is for foods which require thorough mastication. When only soft foods are given, this instinct is soon lost. The result is seen in irregular and crowded teeth, ill-developed jaws and ugly mouths. "Ovaltine" Rusks should be included in the daily dietary of every child, because they give the exercise to ensure sound healthy teeth, and the proper development of the jaws.
Efficient mastication has also a vital bearing upon health.
It is the addition of "Ovaltine" which gives these rusks their fascinating flavour, renders them easy of digestion, and gives them a much higher nutritive value than ordinary rusks.
