 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

 @Oh, I'm shamelessl" Nancy'i singing thoughts ran as she and R0nnie drove away. But I'm hap- pyi"
 Ronnie had driven to Lakevilld where he had straightened out the license business. And now, with c marriage license of their own they were of to be married in an- ether town.
 That had been considerate of Bonnie, choosing a new place for the ceremony. Nancy thought.
 How would you like to 90 to Bcrmuda?"
 "0randl" Nancy said. Bermuda was 6 dream place for Q honey moon.
 a'Yirst, though" Ronnie told her, sswell go to New York, and you cnn buy some clothes that really suit you. Clothes" he hesitated, ethat weren't selected for somebody nIse."
 There was a lump in Nancy's throat. xg she could only tell Ron- z1ie what | darling he was.
 She could picture the clothes xcnnie's wife would wear. Some smartly simple, accentuating lines and materials, others richly furred. Oeorgeous fur wraps and coats; diaplianous, dream-iike things that snadey ou feel young and gay. And evening dresses that fitted your body like nothing had ever fitted 1t before giving the feeling of being very regal and fine.
 what are you thinking about?" Bonnie asked, as the silence deepened.

 If she could only find the cour- age to tell Ronnie what she had done. If she had softened the blow for him tonight would he have married her2
 Tt wouldn't have made any dif- ference what I told Dana." Nancy was arguing fiercely with herself. 'Dana was only waiting for Scott to whistle. All that was true. But there was Ronnie's reaction to con- sider. If he had known that Dana had gone to Scott believing he was seriously injured. wouldn't he have gone away? And wouldn't her own chances of marrying him have been lost forever?"
 "Well, here's a nice-sized town that looks as though 1t might boast . parson," Ronnie said. What shall 1t be7 Presbyterian, Episco- palian. Baptist, Methodist, Congre- tionalist name the church, Nancy, and we'll find the man."
 "It doesn't matter" Nancy said. Her throat was aching.
 That leaves 1t up to me-" Ron- nie spoke cheerfully. First. a telephone book"
 Tn an open-all-night restaurant, possibly the only one the small town afforded, Ronnie produced a s'reverend" and they found him short while later in a modest home beside a modest little church.
 But his denomination was to re- main Q mystery. Because a cur rent that had been set in motion on the long drive was gathering force, sweeping such small consid- erations aside. The mild-mannered minister with the white hair radiated interest
