"As if you hadn't always tried to take those troubles off my shoulders!" She raised her radiant eyes to his. "If this is what you meant by 'paying in kind,' you shall be paid, Fox. Oh, you _shall_ be paid. And, dear, nothing troubles me now. Do you understand? _Nothing_. Now I must run. Don't come with me. People couldn't help noticing something. Good night." Once more she kissed him, and she was gone, walking buoyantly and turning more than once to wave to him. Fox's eyes were wet as he watched her. "Bless you, Sally! God go with you!" God go with you, Sally! THE END The Riverside Press CAMBRIDGE · MASSACHUSETTS U·S·A OLD HARBOR By WILLIAM JOHN HOPKINS "A charming picture of an old New England seaport....
