"I1l probably never see him again. -
she told herself, land I do think he's
only trying to be polite" So quiet
ing her conscience with this excuse,
she hurried to little table in the
corner, where the young man with
the very pleasant brown eyes soon
joined her with a second cup of cof-

When she really had a chance to
get a good look at him, Amy decided
that he really had a very nice face

as they ate their frugal luncheon and
laughed over her blunder, the young
man seemed so interested in her rea-
son for being in the Pumpkin Tea
Room that Amy found herself (much
to her own surprise) pouring into his
sympathetic ear the whole story of
how Margaret and Jack. her best
friends, had been married only a few
weeks before, how she had been the
Maid of Honor, and had had a won

he exclaimed with pride, counting
out his loose change from the vase.
With look of intense satisfaction he
put it back and lighted his pipe. Pick
ing up his newspaper he proceeded to
enjoy an hour of solid comfort.
Meanwhile. Sarah cleared the table
in silence. Her pleasant hour, pleas
ant at least in anticipation, had been
utterly spoiled for her. She felt as if
she had been chasing down 365 days
of married life just one menu behind.

jumping up and putting on his hat.
He gave Sarah hurried kiss and
was gone.
Sarah sat down in his easy-chair
and reflected. Was she making a
mountain out of a mole hill, or would
it be better to nip disagreeable
habit in the bud She decided on the
latter.
Then she went to the telephone.

Sarah looked at John. Yes, it was

No sooner said than Sarah disap-

teeth and went back into the dining

she was speaking aloud, and she
turned round to look straight in to
the amused eyes of a tall and very

Amy flushed with embarrassment
as she met his glance, but the young

Sarah hung up.
She put the dining room in order,
then took the money from the green
vase and sailed forth. She was soon
back in her kitchen, working over
her hot stove, a look of battle in her
eyes. She hunted up her best cook

came the distant sound of rumbling
and intermittent kissing. 1t suddenly
dawned upon me-the truth-that /

Instinctiyely I looked about me for

the road, and l saw two women and
man. leading a small child, running
across the yard, presumably to find
refuge in a cyclone cellar.
Here was my one chance! I didn't
care what became of my car. I would
abandon it and beg admission to this
underground catacomb. I sprang out
of my car, and rushed down the road,
leaped a fence, and ran madly toward
the cyclone cellar.

Their destination proved to be a

provided with a bed lounge, the

Reaching the cyclone cellar, the
