CHAPTER XIII
Brian Westmore was waiting for
his answer.
Gale know everyone was watching them. A stream of men and women was pouring from the mill and Gale could feel their eyes on her. She could imagine what they were saying, too. Her cheeks flushed.
And Brian Westmore stood there, waiting.
She said, "I-I'm sorry but-" and then she saw Stove, not a dozen yards ahead. He had turned and was look Ing back at hor. "There's someone waiting for me," Galo went on quickly. She raised her head, met Brian West- more's eyes directly.
"Oh, I see. Well, good-night-" His smile was just as friendly as he moved away, Galo noticed how well he carried himself. He was almost as big as Stove, only straighter. And Josie was right about it; he certainly win good looking.
There was still colour in Gale's cheeks as she hurried ahead to meet Steve.
"I wondered if you waited," she began. "I didn't see you—"
"No, I guess you didn't." Steve was moving beside her now but there was something queer about his valce Gale glanced at him side- wise. She said, "I suppose you heard about Connie Bauman falating this afternoon?'
"Yes, I heard about it."
Something was definitely wrong. Steve didn't look at her. His voice was flat, almost cold. They walked In allence for a few moments and then he turned abruptly, "Well," he said, "aren't you going to tell me about
it?"
"I notice you haven't answered any of my questiona,"
"And what's more I don't intend te. Since when have I been obliged to count to you for the people I speak to. I'm talk to Brian Westmore or anyone elso as often as 1 want tof" "So you did make a date with him. 7 You're going out with him!"
"You can't talk to me like that!" Galo's face was white now, "You've no right to say such thingal"
-Stevo's voice was level, dangerously level. "You seem to be forgolting, he said, "that I asked you a question Low days promised me an answer and in few ago. An important
I've been waiting for it"
"Then you can have it right now, I'm not going to marry you ever I thought I would once, but I've changed my mind. You've changed it for me-right now. I wouldn't marry a man who didn't trust me and you don't or you wouldn't say the things you've been saying. I didn't know you could be so unjust and cruel and hatefull"
"And I didn't know you were the kind of girl to fall for a rich guy with linea guy who doesn't think you're any better than the dirt under his feet!""
With blaring eyes the girl faced him. "Will you please leave me," she said. "I don't care to hear the things you're saying and I don't want to be seen with you. Not ever again. I wouldn't have believed you could talk the way you have if I hadn't heard it with my own ears. Now I've heard it and I hope you'll leave."
"I certainly will, if you feel that way."
"It's exactly the way I feel."
Their eyes met and held. Steve and, in a voice suddenly lower pitched, "You're sure you mean that?"
"Every word of it!"
He hesitated an instant. Then he said, "All right-I'm going," and turned and walked back toward the mill
They walked with her, chattering, until they reached the Henderson house, Dusk had fallen but there was ne light in the house. Galo lat herself in and called, "Father!"
"Yes"
He was sitting in bis favourite chair before a window looking out on the street. "I saw you coming," he said. "Who were the children with
You?" “Two of the little O'ConnoXE.” "Tim O'Connor's youngstera 7" "Yen."
Gale was putting away her hat and cont. Sho said, "It's so dark in here, Father, you can't see anything. You ought to have a light."
"I
he like it better this way," he told
"Yes, pretty cold."
"There must be quite a wind. I noticed the way the trees are bead- ing. He paused and then went on, "Steve didn't walk home with you!"
"No,"
"Steve's a good hoy, Galo. A fine boy." He paused as though there were something more he wanted to say, but evidently changed his mind.
Later, over the evening meal, Gale thought her father looked tired but. le denied it. Ho'd been feeling un- usually well all day, he said. Put on his coat at noon and took a few steps outdoors to get a breath of air. He'd passed, the time of day with Old Dan Geddis from across the street.
Tom: Henderson's big frame was stooped and his clothes hung about him loosely. There were little pouches: beneath his eyes and his checks had an unhealthy tluge. Gale, facing him,, thought it was really shocking, low ho had changed in two years,
"How about a game of cribbage to- night 7" Tom Henderson asked his
on.
"I'll take you on," Phil told him. Gale, clearing the table and heat- ing dish water, was pleased. She was glad to have Phil at home, glad to have him entertaining, their father. She had heard Phil's explanation of Gale went on rapidly, her head held his bruised eye something about a ox of tools. Well, high. She was angry at Steve and mishap with
