WITH KID GLOVES
"TV Hay you'n mirriwl," Mf.
Vance said genially, "«• the day I
make you (inii-fli! Mintf^r of the
fcrtory -and give you half inter-
oat Think you two fin live on
that r
Nanette looked it Hal, hut *h''
could see no sign i of elation Hal
kept his eyes studiously on hi*
plate. So she said nothing.
"And you can't make It too soon
to null me!" Mr. Vance continued.
"Your mother and I are rather
taken up with our daughter-in-law-
•ta-ho. We want to see you two
•ottled."
Hal grimaced unconsciously.
"Settled i ri(rht," he blurted far
«aatically.
It was *o unlike Hal • that Nan-
ette looked up, startled. Apparent-
ly the older people were unawar
of any tension in the air, hut there
was a little perplexed frown on
Nanette'* face during the rest of
the meal. And after dinner, when
•he and Hal were driving on their
favorite road towards the lake, she
wax thoughtfully silent. Hal main-
tained a moody silence, too, and
the first blot had appeared on j
their happiness
The nun was hut half a *un |
when Ha! stopped the car. It's gold
and red rays cast a roseate glow
that made a shimmery pathway
over the water straight to them,
•oftening the landscape about i
them. It was their favorite hour,
liut they sat silent.
Despite the cheerful light on
Hal's face, it had an expression
mixed of wistfulneo* and discon
tent that (rave Nan a little twinge
of pain, as if a sensitive nerve
were touched with a Hot needle.
H er mind bigan probinjr alertly in-
to the past.
How often had she seen Hal
look longingly at the horizon as
he wnt- doinp now and say "I
wonder what's happening over
there ?"
Nan realized with n start that
one of In. first things tVint had a!
traded her to him had been his
caper, searching curiosity about
people and thintr . his unwilling
ne«s to have his horizon hounded
by the walls of ln> father's factory
or by the city limits of \ew Knox
ville. She knew he enjoyed work
ing in the factory, but* Sh< won
dered if he realized how much that
did mean to him?
"Look nt that heron see it?"
Hal said suddenly, and they drew
close together and watched the
leisurely sweep of its wings, and
Hal was himself once more.
Hut Nanette had caught a
glimpse of something that made
her very uneasy. Hence, a week
later, sh< was not nurprised when
Mr. Vance called and asked if she
could come over to the Vance
home.
There Mr. Vance fixed her with
his piercing (faze. "Can you stnnd
a shock?" he asked bluntly.
Nan looked at him and then at
Mrs. Vance sitting quietly at the
window "Why, yes," she said.
"Van has bought a passage to
Europe' I happened to over-
hear "
Rt Pi«l
tlnrt shock, "Ve I know," h< ;
said faintly.
Mr* Vance looked up and *tud
ied her intently. Mr Vance wa^
surprised. He crossed and put hi-
hand on her shoulder.
"You can stop this nonsense,1
Nan. Everybody get* cold feet just
before a wedding And at heart
Van wouldn't hurt anybody -least
of all you whom he love* You talk
to him Tell him right out he'* got
to marry you—at once. He will
He'* usually sensible."
"Yet hi would," Nan -aid
apathetically.
"If* up to you." Mr Vance pur- |
sued "I can't do anything w'th
him 1—1 talked to him "
Nan was silent.
Mr. Vance went on "He's got
the wanderlust. Afraid he'll settle
into a rut All *ort* of nonserwte
Why, he'* been perfectly content
and interested in the factory.
Briny him to his sense* "
"Don't tell Hal about the ta'k,
will you?" Nan hefted.
She sal dumbly in the chaii aft-
er Mr Vance had gone. Mrs
Vance sauntered over and swt
down opposite Nan.
"Aren't men and boy* funny?"
she remarked casually. "Always
the name. Yet they are harmless if
handled with jjloves."
Nan'* eye* filled "If? not a
very easy decision, It it n If 1 keep
' him, hell alw-ays feel like 1 tied
him down. If I do nothing, he'll )po,
and I'll lorn- him."
Mrs. Vance patted the chair arm
absently. "You know, once when
Hal was little he pot the idea he
wanted to run away." She chuck-
led reminiscently. "Warned his
father. Mr Vance threatened to
send the police after him if he
did." She paused "It only made
him mon determined."
Mr-. Vance was seeing the-,
event* of long ago. Nan waited
"I I called him in and talked
to him as if I were interested in
seeing him travel." She laughed.
"1 even gave him fifty dollar out
of my own bank account nnd told
him to be good while he wit- gone
He came hack in two day
He really isn't th. rolling -tone
type."
Mr- Vano tood up and held
1 out her hand. "You do love him,
don't vou?"
I
Three day- later Mr. Vance
called Nan again. "He's going to-
day Hut I removed his passport
and ticket- from his luggag' He'll
not mis- them 'til it'.- too late."
Nan went at once to his office.
"Give them to me," she said.
As the train rolled in. Nan step
ped from behind a pillar and hail-
ed Hal.
She forced her brightest smile.
"1 almost didn't make it," she told
him lightly. "Hut you will need
these."
She held out the ticket and pass-
port. "Your father," she explained.
A variety of emotions chased
each other across Hal's counten-
ance "But hew what " he
stammered.
"You better get on the train,"
Nan told him. "Your father may-
be hen to head you off any min-
ute."

Nan wa- prepared: and yet tin
actual, preci-e words were a die

"Hut you don't cure?"* flal
blurted in amai<*ment,
N'an laughed lightly "I'm help-
ing you elope, aren't 1?" h«- point-
ed out.
The train started moving* before
Hal could speak. He wtill *tared
perplexedly almo*t fearfully at
her.
laughing, Nan gave him a
Hhove. Like one in a trance, Hal
climbed on the train, still looking
dumbly at her
N'an blew him a kin*, hoping he
couldn't tell her eyes were blinded
by tear*. Then she went to the
phone.
"Mr-. Vance* 1 tried the kid
glove* " «he <<aid simply.
"My dear, you come and stay
with me awhile."
Nan wandered aimlessly about
in Hal's room She touched object*
here and then- She felt like a
martyr and she didn't like being
a martyr, for with the passing of
each of the sixty-two minute*
*ince he had gone, the lump in her
heart had grown heavier. Still, she
had don« right Better thi- than to
have him look on her a- a jailor.
Perhap* some day
N'an -aw through the film of
teal* a picture of Hal on the dress
er. Shi walked over and picked it
up. Thi image moved! Nan laugh
I'd hysterically. Seeing things al-
ready It was so soon!
Then she saw she really held a
mirror.
t Slowly -he turned around. Hal
made one leap and caught her in
his arms. "I got off at the edge of
town, but a traffic jam held me
tip," he explained breathlessly.
"Always do when you're in a hur-
ry And I was •because we're be-
ing married as soon as we can
find a 'knot-tier'."
