cent of money. 1t is a good thing,
after all, that we didn't go straight
to the police. Another thing We
have to thank the Hills for. Phil,
is that it? Yes-there it comes.
Il have to get myself in hand.
I can't have Mysteries nor anything.
Phil-hold me tight. I feel so fun
ny and shaky and all Phil, let
me go. You help me, dear. Phil,
you help me-"
That's all I want, all the rest
Of my life, Ann. just to help you
and love you"
NAARY-FRANCES said, "Oh,
wi hello, Phil Ann, I must sayl
PHYS sakes! Course it's me.
You're choking me. Ann, you got
to pay the man. told him. You
got to pay the man.
Across the safe sweetness of
Mary Frances shoulder, Pills
voice, i've attended to it. Ann.
Don't bother
did Cissy come home all
right? How's Grand? I thought
if Cissy could come home after
pushing Grand over, could, after
making just a big mistake.
yes, I'll tell you all about that
in a minute. But you said, Ann,
that nothing I'd do would make any
difference. Ann, do you think
Cissy will be awfully mad? I left
her bag at Mende1 Springs. 1t was
in the hotel lobby.
Il guess 1 broke promise. l
don't know. But, anyway. Ann, l
couldn't starve, could I? I'd of died.
The dining room was closed for re-
pairs. And something was just
opening and shutting like a trap
door inside of me.
Z 'spect if we'd write letter
we'd get the bag sent back home
all right. I hardly think Earl
would take it,"
"This-Earl, dear? He wasn't
rude to you nor anything of that
sort, was me-?
NO, he wasn't rude. Just in
considerate. All he thinks about
is his old stomach. He wasn't hun
cry. Inconsiderate. I don't think
real true love would let another
person starve."
She ate like a little wild ami
NAL, tearing the cold chops from
the bones, gulping great swallows
of milk, her eyes glazing at the
food on the table before her.
Color began to ebb into her cheeks
and into AIMS at about the same
time.
IT DON'T know Just why went,
i Ann. You keep interrupting all
the time. / don't know why-I just
kind of did. But, anyway, like I
was telling you, he said, III drive
the car around to the garage, and
you wait here
And 1 said, You can't and I
kept telling him he couldn't, cause
the dining room was closed. He
said missing one meal never hurt
anybody.
And, Ann. he never even offered
to buy me sailed nuts nor chocolate
bars nor anything. and I couldn't
ask him, hardly. 1t seemed funny
for me to, when we weren't so very
we'll acquainted.
He'd had his lunch, of course. 1
hadn't a bite all day. Not bite,
So then, when spite of all I said he
went right Stubbornly along to take
the car to the garage, instead of
driving only ten miles on to the
next town to eat, it came over me,
Ann, Surging and all He's killed
my love- I thought. Hes killed my
love-
There was a train stopped out in
front, and Earl had gone to the
garage, so I went and asked the
man standing by the steps-a con-
ductor I thought he was, but he
turned out to be brakeman-if this
train would take me home.
Maybe it was just idle curiosity

where was homer ! told him. And
then I Just went on and told him
the truth. Ann. I don't know
Just felt like telling him the truth
He was fat and nice and he was
coming home and everything. Il tolo
him I'd eloped, but changed my
mind. He seemed very mucn sur
prised, and he said. Judas Priest! Are
you married?'
Il said, No, I changed my mind
want to go home So he said
Hop on

came along and gave me his name
and address-it's in my pocket-and
