white house with the green shutters
and all it had meant to her had passed?
This sleek little car in which she
was riding and which was hers for
the taking? The man at her side, ade-
quate, forceful, eager for her, willing to
pay handsomely even for SO impersonal
a tie as friendship? Her work could
fill a life that had shown such a capac-
ity for love as hers had shown for Tom
Stewart? She would have given up all
her dreams of accomplishment. would
have packed away her drawing board,
her brushes and pencils without a re-
gret if Tom had asked the sacrifice of
her. 1t would not have been sacri-
flee. Not when she made it for Tom.
| Now that he was gone, definitely, her
work came next. She would put into
her work what she had given to him
all her young ardor, her faith, her mind
and her heart.
/ Tony had been a bit uncertain about
meeting Montieu when she stopped at
! the studio for her sketch. He would
resent her taking the day off when he
was SO rushed. She was surprised and
reassured to find him almost effusive
about her holiday.
1T will do we'll for your appetite,
| petite" he said, rubbing his hands and
regarding her with twinkling eyes. "You
will come back refreshed. My regards
to M. Kemp. Such day for-for the
amour nest ca pas?"
How silly of Montieu! Amour! But
, then he was French. The French think
only of love and of dollars. Tony
packed up her sketch and hurried back
to the car. Surreptitious glances, thin
ly yelled envy of the women in the
studio; strange, her running away like
this made her uncomfortable. It was
when there was so much work to be
done. Oh, well. she would make up for
it tomorrow, early and late

'Donald"-the first time she had
called him that. A flush of embarrasS-
ment flooded her cheeks-"you didn't
buy car, just for today"
The light in his eyes told her that
the Donald" had repaid him for any
thing he might have done for her
pleasure.
NO. I didn't buy it for today. I
bought it for you. All work and no
play-even an artist can't flourish on
such a diet. This little rig can carry
you into the country now and then"
Tonys eyes were wide with alarm
and protest.
But I couldn't possibly accept it.
It's much too valuable" She ran a
Caressing hand along the smooth
leather Of the seat This darling little
car might have been hers. Even if it
were mine, 7 couldn't afford to keep it. u
Kemp's eyes clouded. Tony saw her
curt refusal of gift in which he de-
lighted. had hurt him Why couldn't
she say her protests with pretty
speeches? Why must she blurt out the
truth. crudely? A car. What had led
Donald Kemp to believe she would ac-
cept a car from him?
Il hope you are not going to take
this little four wheeler seriously" he
said. "As a friend, I think I have a
right to interest myself in your health.
Also the right to afford you what en-
joyment I can. If you question the
motive, we can make the car a loan.
I've arranged for a garage. They will
take care of everything for you. 1t
isn't much, considering what you've
done for me-"

she asked
Fifty miles. Unless you would like
something nearer"
"Oh. no. Fifty miles will be just a
hop, skip and jump. On a day like
this I could do with 500 miles" she
lifted. Miles, hours of skimming the
road, wind pressing against cheeks, the
sun hanging a golden scarf around
shoulders. There's a woods. A real

stairs. Wish we could walk in it, feel

her. IF half an hour of outdoors will

Splendid. I'll be looking forward to
the shooting season. And Ill leave my
guns in the city"
They were getting farther back into
the hills now The road twisted and
turned. describing sharp S curves. pre-
cipitous down grades, tilted climbs.
When YOU rounded a hilltop, Tony
thought, YOU felt as If the car were
shooting out from under you. You were
a bird, riding on air, making breath
less swoops into space ana rising again
swiftly. What delicious sensation q.
Tony couldn't remember exactly how
it happened. They had rounded hill,

grade and suddenly the grade stopped

car. You need to get away from the
steady grind"
She said, thoughtfully:
ut does make a difference. I feel
years younger and pounds lighter" She
was not going to chill the holiday spirit
with arguments about the car. She
could tell Donald Kemp later that she
would rather not use it. He would
understand. Just as now re understood
that long stretches of silence were
grateful to her. She was positively
greedy about soaking in every detail
of the country through which they were
passing. That white house on the knoll
was not unlike her home in Centerville,
except for the blue shutters. She would
like to see the peach orchard on the
right in bloom. Maybe IN the Spring
she could come here with her drawing
board.
After a while Tony had drunk her
fill Of air and landscape. Kemp SenSed

Tony laughed. Um, il was good to
be alive, to dream.
True enough" she admitted. "I
haven't. I'm afraid they wouldn't
sound very worth while to you. Just
that little white cottage with the stone
wall, and lots of fascinating sketches to
keep me busy"
Then there is no one sharing the
dream cottage with you?" His jaw was
tense again, waiting for her answer.
No one" She could say as much
In all truth Two weeks ago, week
ago, it would have been different. A
lean. brown somebody would have been
in her dream cottage; sne would be
at the window watching for the first
glimpse of his tallness. Of his dearneSS.
Kemp slowed the car 10 light ciga-
rette. Her answer, apparently salts
fed him. -.
"Is's liable to be lonely arter while. !"
he said. II hope you will allow me to
drop in for occasional visits"
"As often as you like. I'll even ask
you for the shooting, if you'll promise
not to shoot anything. You see, the

self and for the lire OF me I don't
know why"
Tony nodded. when my dreams
come true I'm going to nave a white
cottage with a stone fence around it
on hillside just like that one ahead"
He gave her a swift, penetrating
glance.
How about that Georgian house, red
brick with the white trimming and the
wide terraces to our lefS. You just
can see it through the park of trees it

"T like the cottage better Besides,
I'd have to wait so long for the brick
house I'd be too old to enjoy it. De-
signers aren't paid very well unless
they're good and / haven't shown any
thing yet that makes me think I'm
more than mediocre"
Why did the tenseneSs along the edge
Of his Jaw relax? Certainly he wanted
to succeed. He had asked her to bring
her sketch.
He said: you've never told me much
about your dreams"
Evening star., 1932-07-28

Gods sake HOLD" Kemp shouted and
threw his strength to twisting the steer
ing wheel. There was a drumming in
Tonys ears. She was being catapulted
into space. Impact. Darkness.
When Tony came back from the void
she did not open her eyes. A laSsitude
was upon her. She would rather not
move. She would lie still and hover
on the border line OF oblivion. Now
she was sinking. up to her eyes almost
in feathery nothingness. No, she was
coming back. That pain in her wrist
brought her back.

q FlRMANY'S WAR DEBT
 FIXED AT S714.QO0. .0OO, BONDS

LAUSANNE, Switzerland.-In the greatest financial deal in history, the Allies today wrote off the German separations, fixed shortly after the war at $65, ,00o,0O0,00O, aud substitut- ed dor it a German pledge of $714.- 00o,000 in bonds.
 The settlement amounts to, about one cent on the dollar of the original Getman debt.
 This agreement does the following things:
 It sets Germans final lump-shm payment at 3.0O0,OOO,00 marks $714,- O00,000).
 It ends the Young plan with it's 37 annuities, which was established only three years ago at the price of four months negotiations.
 It reduces Germany's present in- debtedness under the Young plan by 29,e00,000,000 marks ts6,902, ,QQO, ,O00) Interest rates over the 59-year period provided by the Young plan would hmave boosted this figure to $28,OOO,- 000,0O0.
 It ends separations, so far as hu- man foresight can indicate.
 It establishes a three-year. mora torium, which probably will be ac- companied by at least one full-year moratorium on all L. inter-European war debts~
 It provides that Germany,s 3,Q00,- 00O,000 mark payment shall, be cov- cred with ..Reich-guaranteeds bonds which will be deposited in a special department of the Bank for Inter- national Settlements. and only issued at that moment after the expiration of the three-year moratorium when Gefmany's economic situation can
