Forever" said she, still looking at him
and through him.
Then we're to turn back?" he asked.
Even if get the car fixed up. we're to 60
back to town."
Unless you ask me to 60 on, " she answered.
"You think it all ought to be stopped for
ever" said Grant, land yet you'll go on If /
ask you? What does that mean?"
The same far sight remained in her eyes
but she answered with changed voice: Il
suppose it means that love you"
THANK Heaven!" said Grant. 1--WE do love
each other, don't we, darling?"
Instead of answering, she smiled little at
the hills, and at some farther horizon of her
own mind, and while she was preoccuped in
this manner she put out hand and touched
him, very much as mother reassures child.
He had been thinking down to her from
great masculine height, only moment before;
now he felt that the scale was reversed. He
was afraid of the subject which he had raised.
but he could not help persisting in it because,
really, he wanted to know more about her.
She was as oft as baby, most of the time.
but now and again he was no more than bit
of nursery furniture in that calm. maternal
mind of hers.
He said: Sometimes you think it's only an
adventure fer me"

Eyes. Sometimes think that" she ad-
mitted
At the thought of losing her, she became
the one thing of value in the world.
''Muriel, do you think I'm rotter?" he
asked. do you think only want you for
moment?"
1--WE thought everything bad and good;
everyone does, Harry" she told him.
Its the thought of spending the night
with me before we're married That's what
sickens you," said Grant.
She was silent.
Tell me!' said Grant.
II want to stop thinking" she said. "Shall
II"
"Yes," cried Grant. Let's get out of this.
Well walk to that town down the road and
get tow for the car"
Her head was up and she was out of the car
instantly, smiling, with the darkness of the
last moments completely gone from her, so
that once more she seemed merely an ire
sponsible child. They went down the road
toward the village.
Its rather nice, isn't it," asked Muriel.
She was laughing little and looking up at
him. She had on wide -brimmed hat as bright
and yellow as the sun and airy dress of the
same color. She wasn't pink and white
girl as she had been when he met her six

months before; his recommendation had
turned her into rose and brown.
Don't you think so?" she was saying.
Don't think WHAT" ked Grant.
THAT it's rather nice. Just walking along
together like this?" she said.
1T is nice" said Grant.
1T makes me so happy" she said, laughing
as she spoke, that could walk right off that
green hill into the sky. Do you like the ooun-
try lot, Harry"
He was about to say that he liked good
golf course, well enough, but he reserved this
remark as they entered the village. 1t was
strangely quiet. In the garage at one side of
the village green he found no one but the at
tendant at the gas pump
They got wrecking cal" he said. But
they're all over at the church; you'll be able
to pick out Mr. Culver easy. He's the fattest
man in town and he's got bald head all the
way back to the neck"
Grant went over to the church. A flock of
automobiles was parked beside it, and num-
Der of carts and buggies were hitched to an
old rack
They're having a shindig in the church"
said Grant You'll get laugh out of this"
But when they passed through the door she
caught at his arm and drew back.
''It's funeral Harry" she whispered.
He shrugged her hand off.
1--WE got to find this Culver that has the
wrecking car" he insisted. frowning as he
peered into the church gloom.
