"Could- could we keep our wed.
ding a secret?" asked Kay.
Certainly not. I want people to
know. In fact, that's the big idea
so they'll understand that there's nc
use trying to convict me-"
Her thoughts were chaotic. Frag-
ments of ideas. She said, 81 wish
hadn't married you"
The car slowed perceptibly. He
said, you're not really damn fool
enough to wish that"
His words were not harsh. He
merely made statement. He went
on. "You do whatever you want
I'll do the same. If anybody ques-
tons you, you don't know thing.
You've got nothing to say"
Kirk was speaking. I'm drop
ping you at your house. There's no
need repeating anything. Just re-
member this: keep your guard up
all the time"
''But when they ask why?"
''Tell 'em anything. They'll know
you're lying-but they won't know
the truth. And that's all that mat
tiers with me-"
There was car parked in front
of her house. A small car. Barney
was waiting.

"I'm not, though. We simply went
through a ceremony"
"That sort of marriage can be
annulled."
Dad said that. But this mar

"Why?"
Because the same thing that
frightened me into marrying Kirk
would prevent that"

He started the car and moved on
through the night. They did not
talk, but again she moved SO close
that her body touched his. There
was something so Measuring in this
brief contact, something so fine in
the stern expression of his boyish
face.
At home they crossed the veranda

Barney waited at the foot of the

walked toward his mothers chair.
She rose to meet him, instinctively
knowing that all was not as it should

He put his hands on his mothers
shoulders and looked down into her

fashion, as Beverly's one and only

Barney gazed upon this section of
Beverly with some distaste. AS a
matter Of fact, he was far from
happy. He had passed Kay and
Kirk Reynolds on the road that
morning. He had been waiting at
Kay's home when she had returned
with the same man. And Barney
didn't like Kirk Reynolds. Not that
he was at all shocked by the fact
that Kirk was black sheep,
gambler and gentleman of flexible
morals but he knew that Kirk
was different and picturesque, and
that Kay was young and impress.
