was very close to her ear.

his face was flushed. His
collar had been pulled open
and his tie was gone ="
And in his eyes was a look
of JOY and amusement. A
young boyish look that she
never had seen there before.
He looked like a boy, win
ming a fight in a school-yard
%" His teeth flashed in a
grin and he grunted and
breathed hard the way prize
fighters do in the ring. His
cheek was bleeding.
There is a little of the
cave-woman left in every
woman who is worth her
salt-and Ann Marie found
herself thrilling to the sight
of this battle of the side
walk.
She opened the door of the
car and stepped out to get
a better look at it ~ n
and just as she set foot to
the ground the somewhat
flabby figure of George
Beeseley fell at her feet and
lay sprawled there at its

"Wait a jiffy!" he said
and ran up the stairs of
the building.
He came back with his
coat on and he was smooth
ing his hair down with his
hands.

The major had a glimpse
of a French uniform enter

with a scowl-a scowl which
turned to round-eyed aston

over the unconvincing little

doorway, looking out at the
afternoon parade on Front
Street.
He came across the side
walk to them, and Ann
Marie told him what just
happened.
Jim has given Mr.. Beese-
ley a check" she said. "And
oil our trouble is over"
Howdy grinned lazily.
"Looks as if you'd given
him a darn good licking,
too," he answered and then:
"Well, I'm glad it's set
tied"
And with no more than
that-With not a word of
thanks he turned on his heel
and sountered back to his
doorway.
$50 long, he called
amiably as the great car slid
away from the curb.
There was a long silence
as they went through the
streets of the little town,
and swept smoothly into the
countryside where the
shadows of afternoon lay
over the fields like the hands
of peace.
Well, that's the end of
all that trouble" Ann Marie
sighed, putting her head
back on the soft cushions of
the car.
"Yes-and it ought to be
the end of all the rest of
the trouble you have with

her, and there was note of
anger and evaporation in
his voice. "You re always

times when the airs of the

Well, that was true enough

about. Ann Marie said Of

are safely married. You
won't have to spend half Of
your time looking after them
and Neal any more. You'll
work and do the things you
want to do, and after a
while you'll get over your
hurt"
What do you meant"
asked Ann Marie. "You
mean that you think I'm
hurt and crushed because
Neal didn't marry me7'
With his dark eyes on the
ribbon of road ahead of him
Jim nodded.
"Oh, but you're wrong!"
said Ann Marie. I've found
out that I didn't care for
him as much as | thought |

beginning, l was terribly
infatuated with him. But

She could feel his eyes
turning towards her. He
had slowed down the car,

at the side of the road.
