You can and should be on the job." "There's a good man in charge," defensively. "No man is good enough to do his own work well and another fellow's Because this was true, it nettled him. A frown darkened his face. "You sound like an oracle or something." "Better listen to me Pete's sake, Cissy!" He grinned down at her as suddenly as he had frowned, "Don't let's Not begrudging me the "It's all the same," ously. "Someone told me an old saw.

Buying your way?" "I couldn't if I wanted to." "Act your age!" "They go in for pedigree in this horses, cattle, chickens. A man who isn't sure of name, whose only background is an orphanage, has no chance at all, Cissy." Suddenly she wanted to cry over him. She- said crisply: "Why do you stay here? It's not like you to crawl." "I'm not crawling," proudly. She turned her amazing green eyes full upon him and said above a torturous tightness in her chest: "It's a girl that's keeping you.

Don't lie, Rube." He had no intention of lying. He simply hadn't analyzed, even for his own conviction, just what was keeping him here away from a busy world that was beginning to bow to him. He stood and looked at her a bit. dazedly, as though she had rudely awakened him from a "It's a girl that's keeping you here. Don't lie, Reuben" first little holiday I've ever had, are 3 ou?" "No," but she wanted to share it with him.

They walked on, not in the old friendly sijcnce, but in a strained, uneasy one which lasted until they came in sight of the house. Long, low, rambling, it was set in a wind gap between (wo hills and half hidden by trees. Scaffolding covered one entire side from foundation to roof. Bricks, mortar, lumber made the lawn unsightly. "There's my castle!" Cissy, used to the glitter of thje Gold Coast, stared in wordless disappointment at the unassuming old house.

"I've always dreamed of owning just such a place," Reuben said half shyly. "It wasn't a dream," flippantly, "it was a nightmare." "You don't like it?" with small boy disappointment. "I'm not oducated up to old wrecks. Even in Rome with everyone ranting, I couldn't get all stewed up over broken stone pillars and cracked walls." "Wait 'til you sec what I moan to do," enthusiastically. "Rebuild?" "Restore." "There's'a difference?" "Vou'd be surprised.

They go in for that sort of thing here. Many of the people around are living on original grants from the King." Pcdiffree pISSY was not impressed. "That's nothing to be proud of. Gifts can live on charity. Everyone can't earn their own." "Are you telling me? Look, Cissy, I'm going to plant rhododendrons here." Plant rhododendrons! She looked at him spcculativoly.

A stranger! A Reuben she didn't know, who brushed aside the most important factors in his oil, and the fact that he was losing money lightly, but kindled with enthusiasm at the mention of a few shrubs. "You'll have to plant more than rhododendrons," practically, "You can sink a gold mine before you make a show." "I don't want to make a show." wants to make one kind of show or another. You've gone Green Spring Valley." "This is the Worlhington Valley." I dream. As though her statement made- that dream a reality. "What's her name?" demanded Cissy on a muted note.

"Judith Goodloe." 'The Go Getter Wins' OODLOE!" Her knees felt suddenly wobbly. She sal down on a log. "She isn't keeping me," Reuben said. An hour ago he could have said it with conviction. "What," Cissy shivered the dfty wasn't so warm after "is she like?" As if he could put into words nil the perfection of Judith! "Like nothing on God's earth." "He has reached for the moon," she thought, "I might have known he would." She said: "As bad that!" She had herself in hand again, "I'd like to see her." She wondered what manner of gir) couhl so enchant Reuben who had always been indifferent.

Since she had been four Cissy considered herself Rube's one and only "When the folks pet here throw a party, Rube. Call her up and askjicr over!" Miss Goodloe?" "Why not?" Slow color crept up under his Ian, "Cissy, see that pine over on the hill? The evening star rises just behind it these nights. She's as Car out of my reach as that star. She always will be, so let's forget tn her." "Suits me!" But Cissy knew that Judith Goodloc's name was graven somewhere deep within her in livid, scarring letters. "Don't you ever see her, Rube?" "I look at her when she rides by," whimsically.

"You're trying to tell "I've not said a dozen words to her." "How long have you been a shrinking violet? When you want a thing you usually up your sleeves and go afte; it." "This is different." "Nothing is different. The so getter wins." Why was she talking like a fool? "I've never beon invited to her home and won't be if I live here a thousand years.
