"I'm all right," Eve assured him, "I was just thinking. I mustn't forget to write to Mother to-day. It's almost a week since her last lettor came."

Dick approved of the way in which Eve and her mother kept in close touch with each other. Once every week Mrs. Bayless wrote- long letters; painfully written in her cramped handwriting, filled with news of the family, the reln- tives and Eve's old friends. And once or twice a week Eve dashed off a reply on her typewriter. Her father grumbled, "Eve's letters are too danged long for any man to read. Tell me in a few words what, she said."
