IP® trunk was recalled to nls
mind one day by the very act
of his own sitting on it It was
no longer recognizable at sight
for a trunk, it had a gaily printed
slip cover over it to disguise it,
and stood there over against the
wall.
It was Sunday, and though they
did not go to churcb, they never
failed, in common with all other
good citizens, to dress up In their
Sunday finest and take their Sun-
day morning promenade.
He was waiting for her to be
ready, and had sat down upon this
nondescript surface without look-
ing to see what It was.
She was slowed, at the last
moment, by difficulties.
"I wore this last week, remem-
ber? They'll see tt again."
She discarded it.
"And this—I don't know about
this" She curled her lip slightly.
"I'm not very taken with it*
She discarded it as well. 14 ■
•That looks attractive," be of*
fercd checrfully, pointing at ran-
dom.
She shrugged off his Ignorance.
"But this is a weekday dress, not
a Sunday one."
He wondered privately, and with
a soundless little chuckle, how one
told the first from the second, but
refrained from asking her.
She sat down now, still further
delaying their start "1 don't know
what I'll do. I haven't a thing fit
to be seen in." This, taken in con-
junction with the fact that the
room was already littered with
dresses, struck him as so funny
that he could no longer control
himself, but burst out laughing,
and as he did so, swung his arm
down against the surface he was
sitting on, in a clap of emphasis,
a e e
TTE felt, through the covering, the
unmistakable shape of a pear-
shaped trunk lock. And at that
moment he first realized that
it was her trunk he was sitting
upon. The one she had brought
from St. Louis. She had never,
it suddenly struck him as well,
opened it since her arrival.
"What about this?" he asked.
And then stood up and stripped
the cover ott. The initialed
"J. R.," just below the lock tn
blood-red paint stood out con-
spicuously. "Haven't you anything
in here? I should think you would,
a trunk this size."
She was suddenly looking, with
an almost taut scrutiny, at one of
the dresses, holding it upraiaed
before her.
"Oh, no," she said. "Nothing.
Only rags."
"How is It I've never seen you
open it? You never have, have
you?"
She continued to peer at this
thing in her hands. "No," she said.
"I never have."
"Why not?" he persisted. "Why
haven't you?" But with no intent
This time die took note ef
question. "I—I can't"
somewhat unsurely.
She seemed to intend no further
explanation, at least unsolicited, m
he asked her: "Why?"
She waited a moment: "Itt the
—key. Its—ah, misting. I ha veal
got it I lost it on the boat."
e e e
CHE had come over to the tnmtt
while abe waa speaking, and
was rather hastily trying to re-
arrange the slip cover over It
"Why didnt you tell me?" ho
protested heartily, thinking mere-
ly he was doing her a service. "Ill
have a locksmith come ta and
make you a new one. It wont toko
any time at aU. Walt a "'"rttL
let me look at It—"
He drew the slip cover partly
back again, while she almoet
seemed to be trying to hold It la
place in opposition. Again the
vivid "J. R." peered forth, but only
momentarily.
He thumbed the pear-shaped
braaa plaque. "That should bo
easy enough. It'a a fairly simple
type of lock."
The slip cover, in her own hands,
swept across it like a curtain •
moment later, blotting out lock
and initials alike.
"Ill go out and fetch om ta
right now," he offered, and started
forthwith for the door. "He can
take the impression, and have the
Job done by the time we return
from our—"
"You cant" >he called after
him with unexpected harshness at
voice, that might simply have been
due to the fact of ber having to
raise it slightly to reach htm.
"Why not?" he asked. 4H
She let her breath out audibly.
"It's Sunday."
He turned in the doorway and
came slowly back again, frus-
trated. "That's true," he admitted,
"I forgot"
"I did too, for a moment," ah*
said. And again exhaled deeply.
In a way that though tt was prob-
abily no more than an mpieiliw
of annoyance at the delay, might
almost have been mistaken for un-
utterable relief, si
like tt did it sound.
