riglit.. Away m one corner of her
heart had been a tiny gram of ap
proln nsion, because she w is not
used to all this, but now it was
swept away. She might lie Cinder
ella on her way to her tirst ball, but
she felt as if she would be able to
act like the princess.
Hoy ever, aitle ugh she may have
felt that part Tibby mi r. -t look
sophisticated. If she had, she would
not have had the effect site was to
hit\•• ap'd. Wayni that . ening Hi
was used to sophisticated ladies; lie
was bored to death with them
When he saw Tibby, in her lovely
white dress, that shining look in
her eyes, her chock.- Hushed, his
heart, that had been bored so long,
too that h" almost had forgotten
he possessed such an organ, did a
somersault; his jaded pulses quick
ened.
Tibby, in his eyes, looked like
love's young dream. She looked hi..'
the rosebuds that composed the
corsage lie had ordered for her, be
cause only such buds, unopened,
damp with dew, had, to him,
seemed appropriate.
"My dear,” he said, hurrying for
ward to greet her, "I wish there
were words to tell you how lovely
you are. Words would not do; it
would have to be set to music. You
are the stars tonight, the crest of
an ocean wave, the tenderness of
twilight. In brief, Miss Elizabeth
Lane, you are almost too beauti
ful."
"You make me almost believe it,”
Tibby thanked him demurely from
the wisdom of her newly acquired
manner. She was not expert at this
type of light, yet serious flirtation,
or used to being called beautiful.
"And thank you for these,” she
added, touching the dewy rosebuds. 1
‘‘They're sc exquisite! And see,”
she spread her wide skirts, as
though about to make him an old
fashioneci curtsey, "they match the
artificial ones as if you had known
about them."
"I know,” he assured her gravely,

a < y aid not mean to settle back to
tlivir -i 1 : ass \;! v. as if he, Wayne
Courtright t..u: lost his iron conf
tl oi of them. 1
Hint seemed ridiculous, improb
able m fart, for Wayne always
was in complete control of his
emotions; Ids head always ruled
t his heart. He might indulge
them heart and emotions- for a
■ cling moment or so. but always
they ".ore put hack in order the in
'.a'-t he ruled that they should be-.
11 might proved the exception to
’ bis file. It was not just that he
had f mnd the v.. y Tibby looki d
si listut bing: it was the way sic
'••’As. si young, so earnest, so'
thrilled. It was seeing tilings
through her bright eyes - the long,
candle-lit table, gleaming with
crystal and silver, burdened with
flowers, the beautiful women and
well-groomed men, the excellent
servil e and incomparable food, the
low laughter and spontaneous
bursts of applause, the voice ut' a
comet and the shush-shush of
dancing feet, the fragrance of a
woman's hair so close to his nos
trils, the warmth of her slender
body held in his arms.
No, Wayne could not remember
when he had lived an evening like
this—for ''lived' was the new
meaning that this evening, seen
through Tibby's eyes, experienced
through her senses, held; it had I
been so long ago, in his own first I
youth, that this was like returning ;
to a forgotten country, a country
one never should have left.
“Having fun?' he asked her,
bending his head close to hers, his
eyes seeking and holding her
glance. He had just reclaimed her
for the end of this dance, having -
had to relinquish her throughout
the evening more often than he had
liked, although he wanted her to
enjoy the popularity that was her
due.
“Lots of fun." She nodded her
head, her eyes smiling back into
ins. Fun was not a fitting descrip
tion— it went with the ordinary
sort of good times Tibby was used J
to. This evening had been exciting,
dramatic, a peek into a fairy land.
Everything was so right, ao per
ft • .... beautiful; everyone was so
i 1::i: nung. so gay. "It's been love
ly. she added, on a little sigh, for,
I dim y .ung, an ending always was
poignantly sad to Tibby. Why
■uli.ln't such loveliness just go on
and on?
'Now. Cinderella,11 he reproved,
">i"i:'t start listening for the clock
t" sti.kt Id. R member I told you
you did r.ot have to run away. Or
return to the ; ittered garments of
t v.-ryday life t hen the coach and
four change into mice again. There
is no reason, my dear, why we can
not do this again—and often.” His
tone, the set of his lips were firm.
The smile still lingered in Tibby's
eyes, but she did not nod her head
again.
"I guess not," she admitted, but
her tone held a shadow of unce
tainty. The cjock was beginning I
strike the midnight hour in Tibby a
consciousness, alaybe this one time
should be sufficient. Maybe they
should not try to repeat it. Repiti
tion seldom contained the same ele- I
mont of delight, just as anticipa- ”
tion usually dimmed reality in com
parison.
"That's another agreement—like
our being friends.” Wayne pressed
her closer for a brief moment, as
the dream-filled waltz came to an
- ml. 1 suallv he did not regret end
ings; h was adept at them, often
making them serve his purpose, but
now lie. too. t.-it a sadness, a sense
of reluctance that he must open his
arms so that they would be emp
tied, allowing her to escape from
him.
At first he had wanted friend
ship from Tibby to make her aware
of him, as a man. This had been
strengthened by her indifference,
even her refusal to accept him.
Mow, alter this evening, he knew
it a as Tibby. herself, that was the
■hallenge. He had to have her
friendship. He must win her warm
approval, her eager liking. H< was
aware even that this might lead to
more than that. He might, as he
had told her, want more of her
than mere friendship, much more
than that. He might, in her, have
found not only a lost country hut
a promised land, in that she might
b-. the oim woman he would find
he had to have.
He had loved other women be
fore. They had stirred his senses,
quickened his heart-beat, but not
like this, not without his willing it
to be so, with his clear conscious
ness, as well as that other uncon
scious, uncontrollable self hidden
within every man.
He did not think be was In love
with Tibby yet, but he knew he
might be soon. The amazing part ?•
was that, knowing this, he plunged 1
blindly ahead.
He still believed, of course, that
lie could make the ending when he
chose—making it, as well, the one
he wanted.
