CHAPTER XIII

Brian Westmore was waiting for

his answer.

Gale know everyone was watching them: A alream of men and women was pouring from the mill and Cale could feel their eyes on har. She could imagine what they were saying, too.. Her checks flushed.

And Brian Westraore stood there, waiting.

She said, "I'm sorry but" and then she saw Steve, not a dozen yards ahead. He had turned and was look- ing back at her. "There's someone waiting for me," Gale went on quickly. She raised her head, met Brian West- more's eyes directly.

"Oh, I see. Weil, good-night-” His smile was just as friendly as he moved away. Gale noticed how well he carried himself. He was almost as big as Steve, only straighter. And Josic was right about it; he certainly was good looking.

There was still colour in Gaie's checks ahe hurried ahead to meet Steve, "I wondered if you waited," she began. "I didn't see you"

"No, I guess you didn't."

Stove was moving beside her now but there was something queer about hia volce. Gale glanced at him side- wine. She said, "I suppose you heard About Connie Bauman fainting 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 silence for a few moments and then he turned abruptly, "Well," he said, "aren't you going to tell me about it?"

"About what?" "About how you happen to be no friendly with Drian Westmore!"

"Steve!"

"Well, you are, aren't you? I saw you talking to him, smiling at him, You must be on pretty good terms I didn't know you were so well Acquainted,"

Galo stopped. "You've no right to nay things like that," she began. Steve interrupted before she could continuo!

"Then you can have it right now. I'm not going to marry you-ever! I I thought I would ones, 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 a linea guy who doesn't think you're any better than the dirt under his feet!"

With blazing eyes the girl faced him. "Will you plense 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 cars. Now I've heard it and I hope yeill, if you feel that

you'll leave." "I certainly

was..

"It's exactly the way I feel"

Their eye met and held. Steve said," "in" a voice suddenly lower pitched, "You're sure you mean that 7"

"Every word of it?"

They walked with her, chattering, until they reached the Henderson house, Dunk had fallen but thero was no light in the house. Galo let herself in and called, "Father!"""

"Yes."

He was sitting in his 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'Connors," "Tim O'Connor's youngsters?" "Yes."

Gale was putting away her hat and cont. She said, "It's so dark in here, Father, you can't see anything. You ought to have a light."

"I like it better this way," he told her. "Cold out, isn't it?

"Yes, pretty cold,"

"There must be quite a wind. I noticed the way the trees are bend- ingin paused and then went on, "Steve didn't walk home with you?"

"No."

"Steve's a good boy, Gale. A fina boy." He paused an though thero were something more to wanted to kay, but evidently changed his mind.

Later, over the evening meal, Gale thought her father looked tired but he denied it. He'd been feeling un- usually weil all day, he said. Put on his coat at noon and took a few steps outdoors to get is breath of air. He'd passed the time of day with Old Dan Geddis from across the street,
