The car left the green

shot out into the hot crowded
noon day streets.
1t left the town behind
and went like the wind over
the suburban roads and the
flat country roads with the
dust hanging above them
ard the grass, smelling
sweet and dry, along the
sides.
1t streaked along the wide
road past the Country Club,
where Ann Marie had danced
so many times. Like a flash
of black-and-silver in the
sun, it hummed past Pleas
ant Street and the shabby
brown house. Into Front
Street and past the book
store where Mr.. Macy was
taking his afternoon nap,
tilted back against the wall
in his chair " " Past Mr..

shop where Ann Marie had
sold her dead mother pen

road ticket &c"
1t stopped in front of the
red brick building where
Lawyer Beeseley's sign,
GEORGE w. BEESELEY

side a door.
1t was not until then that
Ann Marie woke up
She opened her eyes and dis

on Jim's shoulder and that

sit right here in this car. L
can take care of this whole
thing in 10 minutes-and l
can do it a lot more easily
if you stay right here. "
She watched him disap-
pear into the building.
And while he was gone,
she sat there in her corner
and thought over the last
day or two %"
IT ought to have gone
straight to Jim in the first
place" she thought, II
might have known he would
be the only person who d
care about me enough to
help me"
Why, he was the only
person who had done any
thing for her in years 90"

And, oh, how appalllngly
lazy and good for-nothing
Il do look a fright!'' she
said, leaning forward to
glance at herself in Jim's
windshield mirror. "No
wonder you felt sorry for
me, JIM didn't sleep
much last night, and l
haven't eaten very much for
a couple of days. That al
ways pulls a person down. "
She turned to him, smiling.
"You thought l was heart
broken about Neal, didn't
youi"
He didn't answer.
Well, I'm not, she went
on whether you believe me
or not S"" I was hurt,
naturally, because he threw
me down. And I was angry

Two months ago it would
have broken my heart, but
not now y = I guess I just
saw too much of him"
She gave a long sigh.
"But now let me tell you
what | wanted to tell you"
she said, and as the great
car slid noiselessly, almost,
into Central Park, she began
to tell the Leota story once
more.
She had told 1T so many
times during the last two
days that it did not take
her more than a minute or
two to tell it now, from
start to finish, to Jim Good
win.

He gave short laugh.

asked. "And probably l
sound very foolish - but

the same.
He looked beyond her into
the dining-room where they
had had lunch with Janet
that one day.
"Let's go and sit down."
he said. II want to talk to
you. &c" Or would you

"But [ don't want to sit

steps while they waited for
Jim s car to be brought up
from the garage where he
had left it.

decided. That S about the
only way two people can be

days"
1t came up and they got
into it.
This is the place where
Neal Forsythe first made
love to me" Ann Marie
thought. "How wonderful
he seemed to me, then! The
best-lokoing man that ever
walked in shoe-leather. -

steady brown ones. One
side of her face was rosy
and crushed where it had
lain against his coat. Her
hair had come loose and 1t
lay on her shoulders, all
gold lights and brown rip
pies Tousled and
rumpled and dusty, she
never had looked 80 beautl-
full in all her life than she
looked then to Jim Good

"Wait until I pin up my

cred the wretched Stag.
With a murderous glance,
Frayne blew a whistle.
Every we'll, I'll put you
where you won't be double

"Oh,- M'sier!" gasped
the girl, "What you do to

She gave a little scream
as two military police Of
Frayne's detail entered in
response to the whistle.
"Ah, do not send him
away!" She ran in front
of the wretched Stag.
"Please-please-it is my
fault. I gave him the peeg.
I, alone, am to blame"
Stays eyes caressed her.

Putting aside her clutch
ing hands, Frayne strobe
after the three, his face like
a thundercloud.
Left alone in the big
kitchen where the fire was
beginning to sink into red
embers, Marianne burst into
fresh tears. Not even when
Andre had marched away,
had she felt more desolate.

She gave a little sob. "Oh

she raised her wet face and
hope shone in her eyes,

she walked away from them.

thought electrified her. She

through the red light.

she was almost showing them
out of the door. "Oh, please

to come to comfort me, but

Marianne bolted the door
and ran breathlesslv up
stairs. Down the dark hall
she flew, light-that she
might not disturb the sleep
ing children.
At the end Of the hall was
a small locked bedroom-a
spare room which had not
been used since the first
year Of the war.
Hands shaking with eager
ness, the girl unlocked the
door and entered. She Lit
the candle on the dresser.
From the depths of the
dusty mirror her own white
faced starry-eyed image
looked back at her. Mari
anne addressed it.

From the drawer of the
rickety dresser she pulled a
pile of clothing.

war a young French lieuten-

young officer who had never

Here, neatly folded was a
uniform he had left-com-
plete even to the cap.
The girl flung it on the
bed and began to pull off
her own clothes with hands
that shook with haste.
