Chapter 22. SUDDEN DEATH. How could people without money manage to live? Sondra asked ner- like Cass for Instance; wan a generally accepted fact that he was eternally broke, and yet ne managed to live and to enjoy himself. Of course a man was different, and yet she felt a great curiosity to know how Cass existed. Perhaps Anderson really helped him after all-he was the soul generosity and Sondra knew that the two were friends.

Six weeks -two months ago she would have gone to Anderson unhesitatingly and told him of her position, but not now; she knew that In the 1ght.of their new and changed relationship she would rather die than let him "TVB no longer any friends to lose, so what does It matter what I do?" she asked herself ruefully, and with fresh courage and determination she went downstairs, paid her hotel bill and told the desk clerk that she would be leaving at the end of the week.

She wondered where Flora was, and felt a sharp longing to see her It would have been fun if they could have shared their new independence together. "When one door shuts, another always words seemed to follow her through the sunshine and she found them comforting. "After all, I'm young and fairly must be some sort of work I can do." How concerned Mark would be when he got her letter telling him of this new, strange upheaval in her life. It would worry him to know that she was alone, even though she had not let him know the true of her had always taken it fbr granted that she had plenty of money. Well, she would let him think so for the time being at all and then if things too utterly hopeless, she could always go to left the bus and walked along, lost in thought.

It would be amusing not to tell anyone of her new wondered what Anderson would hlnk when he discovered that she had vanished; possibly he would not care, or would merely feel re- leved. Her thoughts soared ahead into a antastic future. She might possibly make money some day and be able to repay him all that he had lent her; things like that did happen In life In the most surprising it would be a great triumph if she could ever show him that she was not so mercenary as he must have believed her to be. Did other girls take money from had never troubled to ask herself the question before, and It vaguely troubled her. But Anderson had always been so delicate about It had never once felt under any obligation to him until she realized that his de- votion to her had changed.

It made her wince now to think of his sudden coldness; why was It? Why was It, she asked herself restlessly. tt She turned a corner nurrieoiy and cannoned Into a man approach- Ing from the opposite direction; It was Cass He pulled up with swift apology, then chuckled delightedly. "Good Lord Kent! And what in the world are you doing in this neighborhood? I was only thinking of you a moment ago. "I was thinking of you, Sondra said laughing. "And I'm not doing anything very looking around.

How are you?" "A.I A.I. Glorious morning, eh? Makes you feel glad to be alive." He broke off, to ask more soberly. "You've heard about Anderson, of course?" Sondra's face naled and her heart missed a beat. "Why-what about him, Is he 111?" nol never been ill In his life as far as I know. No, I mean about Sondra's lips moved, but for a moment no words came, then she asked stiffly: "She has she divorced last?" Cass pulled a wry face.

"Well, not divorced him but she's set him free all right- she's very suddenly two days the South of Prance." Sondra felt the hot blood rushing headlong to her cheeks as she stood there with Cass's whimsical eyes upon her. She tried to speak, to say something casual, but no words would come, and Cass said with sudden compunction: "I'm afraid I've given you a bit of a shock. Come and sit down there's a tea room Just at the corner." He linked his arm In hers in friendly fashion and led her across the rOad, not speaking any more until seated In a marble topped table In a small, unpretentious room. "I often come here," Caas said. "It's cheap and cheerful.

Two coffees please, he drew out his cigarette case. "Will you have one?" he asked Sondra. She shook her head. "No thank you." She had recovered a little now and tried to laugh. "You did rather give me a chock.

Poor he sorry, do you think?" Cass made a comical grimance. 'Do you need to ask me that? You should know. Sondra shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, John and I are not so friendly as we used to be," she said Cass stopped In the act of lighting his cigarette. "Why not?" he asked bluntly.

"I really don't know; people change, don't they." "Not John," Cass said. There was a little silence, then Cass stretched a hand across the table and laid It over Sondra's. "Look here," he said in kindly fashion, "I'm not a fool, though I know I'm supposed to be, and I've seen for myself that you and old John aren't quite as didn't let you know he was coming back to town for one thing, did he?" Sondra shook her head, and her eyes filled with tears. She felt shaken and upset; this sudden shook coming on top dl everything else was almost more than she could bear. "Of, course he had a perfect she stammered, Cass pressed her hand.

"You can take it from me," he said earnestly, "that John hasn't changed one lota towards you. If he's been different, there's some very good reason for It. I'm not a sentimental chap, never was, but rm fond of a good friend to I can tell you that you're the only soul in the world he cares two hangs about, It all. I ought to know." He took his hand away as the waitress brought the coffee. Sondra said nothing, but her heatr missed a beat.

"He'll come pelting along directly, you see," Cass went on after a moment, with extreme satisfaction. "I know you've been having a rough knows it too, but things'U be all right now, you see. Of course, I suppose for decency's sake he'll have to wait a bit, but Bondra interrupted quickly. "You're talking nonserise, Oass. I wouldn't marry John if he asked me a thousand times.

Cass'stared at her, and his eyes said plainly, "I don't believe you." Sondra went on with an effort. "I don't know why you should Imagine he wants to marry me We've been good friends, but that's all; there was never any question of anything Cass put four lumps of sugar In his coffee; for a moment he seemed utterly at a loss, then he began to hum his old "He told her he loved oh, how he lied!" Sondra laughed hysterically, till she had to bite her Up to control herself. "You're such an Cass," she said. Cass leaned back in his chair resignedly. "Well," he said, 'Til say no more; you know your own business best, but I'd like to make a bet that before many months are out, you're Mrs.

The idea of the first homecoming originated many miles away from the setting of the celebration. Ed. Brodmarkle of Denver, a former Greenfield hardware merchant, conceived the Idea, thinking it would be a good way of meeting many of his childhood friends.

In 1911 Brodmarkle wrote many letters to former residents, then scattered through the United States The responses to his letters were printed In the local newspaper, "The Argus," thus creating a keen interest and forming a start for a real homecoming to be held In Au gust, 1911. Then Came the Storm. Just a week before that firs homecoming when everything was in readiness, a cyclone hit Greenfield one evening, taking large -trees small buildings, and telephone pole In ite Many men were kep busy restoring the wires and clean ing up the debris the next week putting things In order the secon time for the celebration. That first homecoming such a success to all who wandere back that a triennial affair was decided upon. During the Worl War the homecoming was given until the soldiers came home.
