 CHAPTER XIII
 'T haven't heard" Dana an- swered. q don't think so."
 For the first time, the girl was troubled. Was Ronnie angry with her? And if so, about what? Had she said or done anything to wound him?
 Bonnie was offended; there was no doubt about it. But why? Dana searched her brain, could not find an explanation. She told herself it was nothing to worry over. Ronnie would come back.
 He did.
 Saturday afternoon the big road ster halted before the Cameron house and Ronnie got out. He went up the steps, rang the bell.
 Dana, meeting him in the hall way, saw 8 Ronnie with haunted eyes, mouth and jaw set firmly. 'Let's drive" he said slowly.
 "All right" Dana had missed Bonnie. She had missed driving in his car, the gay crowd she usually found herself with when they set out together. It had been dreadfully dull all week at home, depressingly dull with her grandmother's specu- lative eyes upon her, no place to go to escape.
 'cBut I'll have to change into something else," she told him. The frock she was wearing was simple house dress.
 Ronnie put hand on her arm. sPlease come as you are," he said earnestly.
 She hesitated. Then something in his face decided her. They stepped into the roadster and Dana sat quietly as the car gathered speed. Presently the city was behind.
 It was lovely in the country. In l1or enjoyment of the picturesque landscape Dana almost forgot that Ronnie was being horribly rude; sit- ting stiff and silent at the wheel.
 Small homes flashed by in irreg- ular sequences, some with an acre ne green about them, others with only patch of garden that seemed untouched by the fallish tinge to the air. The air was fresh, invigor- ating. Dana caught the scent of new-cut grass, drank it in deeply. Abruptly Ronnie said, 'I've got 10 tell you something. know I'm on imaginative fool But it's on my chest and it has to come of. can't go on thinking about it. If I do I'll go crazy"
 Thinking what?" Dana's lovely eyes turned seriously toward Ron- nie. He looked almost i'll. She ada cd, "What is worrying you, Ron- nie? Please tell me. Perhaps I can help"
 "Youre the only one who can," Ronnie said miserab1y. ''Well, then-?" Dana waited.
 'The other nighttime night of the storm" he began, T was with Q munch dancing at the rBeckin- ridges. Afterward we had mid- night supper. It was almost 3 o'clock when I went home. You re- member what wild night it was?" 'Yes," said Dana. "I remember" Would she ever forget that night! T was driving home, and because r ma sentimental idiot, went past your house. I've done it before. You acn see just how far gone I am." Dana smiled at the though. Ron- nie driving past he rhouse in the wee hours! And then she sobered. Ronnie was leading up to some thing. He'd been driving past the house the night of the storm about o'clock. She remembered that Scott had said, as that big roadster turned the corner, "It's around 2:30 or maybe nearer B." Then the roadster had been Ron- nie's!
 T was driving slowly because there was so much debris in the street." Ronnie continued. And then, as turned corner, saw Scott Stanley waiting to cross. There was a girl with him. It all happened quickly. I saw Scott's face but I didn't see the girls plain 1y. It was just an impression, but I kept thinking she looked like you. I knew 1t couldn't be you, Dana, and I fought telling you because it might make you despise me. But I couldn't get it out of my mind that she looked like you. Tell me I've been a fool. Please say it. Dana!"
 She said quickly, "But can't say that, Bonnie. was with Scott that night. He was bringing me home" Ronnie said, through white lips: Firing you home? At three in the morning! Where from?"
 From his house," Dana said sim ply. T was marooned there during the storm"
