When the time for her two weeks' vacation arrived Eve found hersolf strangely reluctant to leave Lako City. She tried to convince Dick that she did not need to go away for a rest. "Wel can take a little drive into the country every day," she said. "I' rest a lot and we can go out to dinner evenings. That way we won't spend much. If we went to a smart hotel I'd need a lot of new. clothes,"

"A hotel at some popular resort is not my idea of a vacation," Dick | returned. "Seems silly to me to try to impress people we've never seen before and probably never will sen anin. You have plenty of clothes and we're going on a vacation trip. It will do you good, to get away from the smoke "of your own chimney."

They argued the question for serveral days. Eve's real reason for not wanting to leave Lake City was that she did not like to lose touch with the brokerage office.. However Dick won out and Eval agreed to the trip.

"We'll go home," she decided. "Mother will be glad and I can help Esther take care of her. We won't have to spend a lot of money, either."

Bixby's closed at 1 o'clock, on- Saturdays during the summer. At 1:15 Eve, feeling happy and ex- eited, stepped into the roadster be Bide Dick.

"We'll lunch at the first attrac tive place we find along the way," he announced. "Our vacation doesn't really begin until we've left Lake City behind."

The trip was to be made in leisurely fashion. Dick had mapped out a route they had not travelled before. They kept to pleasant by-roads, winding among hills and along streams. The first night they lodged at a historie tav-
