 JOHNSON rI

lifelong dream Of marriage tha. every girl has.
 They would lave the justices office, ami would go to the place that Gus had picked for his honey moon. Not his white house in green Beverly Hills. but Monica 's flat with it's knioh- knacks and it's furnished flat air and it's mem ori"s of hundred wild rarti"s--- Monioa's flat.
 A -"n minutes hoforo three Bob Ii" was out on the front porch, in 'he pale grcon dress in which eh" vas 70 b" married.
 She knew exactly why she waa 'her. and ir was not because hh' wanted 10 watch for the coming Of rh" bridegroom.
 I. Was because -Ia llue-Ini- formed poStman was in sight, rcm- ing slowly up Las Falmas street with his leather bag s)ung over his shoulder.
 Every day when she was at home, she watched for that post man, She had been watching for him for six or seven weeks won lsring daily if le was bringing an answer to her from Andy J"rro,d. Surcly he ought 10 writ" something 'o her, some kind of letter. now that he knew she was oging 10 g,t i.arricl
 Tine poStman was r"Nt door now. IT, went uD the walk ani stuck some mail into the Meyers post hoN. Then ha came out and along th" sidewalk to"ard Mrs. Man gan'S house.
 Anything for us she caIlcl out 70 him.
 Nothing for you. One for .,irs. Iiaugan. It's bill, guess. r. looks like it." he said. and handed Ter q thin pale-blue envelope.
 ijar heart sank. Funny that sho could love 2 man as if he were her brother, and that he didn't think enough of her to wish her happi- ness in her marriage - her mar riare to Gus NacCloul.
 She heard the rush Of his car as she turned to go into the house. It's dark green sides. is bright nickel, slcamed in the sunshine. He was all in white flannel. sitting in the middle of his splendid chariot.
 No movie actor under tho silvery glare of the kli"g lights ever looked the part Of a happy bride groom more than he did, as lo Jumped out and came up the walk 70 his Robbie.
 Ready" he asked, teeth flash ing in q smile, eyes flashing. the diamond in his lttlo-flnscr ring flashing.
 T guess so." answered Robbie and turned 10 open the screen door. There was no smile on her lips. no light in her eyes
 And then a queer thing hap pened. One Of the things that often happens in Wild Vest lnov- ing pictures. and hardly ever in real life.
 \ yellow taxicab turned into Las Talnas street. l. came along tht road slowly for ihe driver was locking at the house numbers,
 T. came to staEdstill before the low white house, where Robbie stood watching it.
 \ man got out of r. \ long broad young man with very clear gray eyes and very tanned skin. A man who would lave scorncd 10 know anything dnout klieg lights, and satin-lineI white flannel suits, and diamond rings for mon.
 He looked hard at the two fig uros on Mrs. Mangan's front porch for an instant, and then he came running mp the walk and up the steps at one single hound. He was quit" T sprint"r. that long, brown cheerful young man.
 "BObbie.' he said. and you wouldn't have believed that 50 much relief and human joy could have been packed into that short dcep-toned word.
 And there, right before the eyes )f the resplondsnt bridegroom him self, he took Robbie and her we'd ding dress into his hard -musclcd young arms, and kissed her.
 Not the half-timid adoring kind i of kiss he used to give her. but , the kind that says 70 q woman: 'You're mine. and l want you. and by Jov", I'm going 10 have you,' . The kind that dares her 10 get 1 away
 f Andy had given her that kind . in the beginning instead of leaving i; 10 Gus MacClouA to teach rnr what real love-rnakinc was, this story might never have been , 
 "Andy," she said to him now. and kissed him back and cried all . over his blue serge shit and her own pale-grcon dress. whil" Gus | MacCloud stood and looked at her. . specchlcss. For once in his life. . love scene was too much for him For him who had seen hundreds . 0, them undcr the studio lights.
 l. was three or four minutes to- for" Robbie Corll find her voice.
 Were going 10 be marricl," was . what she said then.
 "Sur"," answered Andy G,ih'y. | ''Eight away. The sooner the bet . ter"
 She shook hor head. "No, Gus |. and l were nus. going down for inc . license" sh" half sohbei. This is our wedding day" |
 Andy shook his head. "Not . nov" said Andy, no; after you {. just kissed me lik" that" You can . fool man about q good many hinGs. but he can always tel ! whether girl really cares for him IF moi GN inc way Sln EigpcS him. !
