“Oh, no. air! Thank you, all thesame," stammered the embarrassedEdna, quite dumbfounded that the
mighty *upei lntrndent fhculd de-sign to make her such an offer.
Graham'* heavy face clouded at
her refusal."You have no rubber* on.’ he pur-
sued. ano It will give me morepleasure than I can say to take you
home on my way tc lunch."Edna observed the slight frown
as he spoke. The man was U*o

"Itmust he* it must be!" breathed the girl, her Imagination rejoic-ing In the word picture he hadpainted for her.
"The rain is over," aald Graham"See, the sun la coming out Themoonlight will he glorious this even-

“And—and you will go ont for adrive in It?" ahe asked timidly.
"Not alone." he made answer.“1 hough It seems a plt> not to.when th< evening la so beautiful."
"Gant you aak some of yourfriend* along?" she Inquired withabsolute Innocence of Intent.
"I might," he assented. "Butthere’s rnly one friend I’d care to

"You don’i mean—you can't mean—" she gapped.
"But I do.” he responded Tmean Just that I nsan I’d t-njoythe drive a million limes more ifyou’ll Join me in it. You see,” he

While Graham certainly achieved

As for Tom, he concerned him-self little with Graham. He did hisown work and did It well. And.apart from that, all hi* thought*were taken ud by Fdna Carr.
Though Tom took scant heed ofGraham yet. strangely, enough, thenew superintendent had given some-what more attention to Tom, andthis secret study on the part ofGraham wa* at last voiced In a talkwith Pelts, the preeldeni.

He noted that som< one else,emerging from the building Juatahead of him, was alwo waiting.und*r th« portico for the rain to
