trifle resigned. at happens to be
the month of my birth. Girls are
named May and June for that rea-
son-so why not March? There isn't
any law against it."
Brent apologized, "Of course, there
isn't. I just wasn't sure-I mean
l like it, really"
March laughed softly at his dis
comfiture. "Never mind. know it's
rather odd, but I've got used to it."
She took off her hat and rested
her head YEARLY against the newell
post. The line of her chin and throat,
rising from the round, tailored col
lar of her blouse, was utterly lovely.
Her eyes were as dark as Brent's
own and thick black lashes cast little
pointed shadows downward toward
her cheek bones. By way of con-
trast, her hair was palest gold, brush
ed down as simply as a child's from
a low side parting, only slight un-
der-curl at the ends breaking it's soft
straightness.
Something young and defenseless
and unconsciously appealing in her
attitude caught at Brent, making his
voice sound husky and caressing.
"Tired?"
She nodded and then frowned, a.
mending, ooh, not exactly. One
doesn't get exhausted sitting at a
drawing board all day. I'd like to
to climb mountains, or walk for miles,

shrugged, breaking off, and her smile
was suddenly rueful. But for some
reason l simply cringe at the idea OF
going in there and facing that dizzy
mob and being-or trying to bel
clever and amusing and blatantly
gay"
If anyone had told Brent an hour
before that he would be grabbing a
perfectly strange girl firmly by one
hand and pulling her to her feet and
setting her hat on her head at o rak-
ish angle and taking her down an
apartment stairway so fast she didn't
even have time to argue, he wouldn't
have believed it. Yet that was exact
ly what he proceeded to do.
March asked breathlessly, adjust
ing her hat, twin imps of mischief
dancing in her eyes, where are we
going?"
Brent opened the door and the night
enveloped them. The night hadn't
changed. It was still warm and fresh
ly damp, with magic and madness in
it. He answered simply, "There.
where you said"
"You know there aren't any noun
tains." March swung along beside
him, matching her step to his long
stride, her lovely face upturned ques-
tioningly.
Brent assured her, "But there must
be some quiet places that no one
knows about, even in Chicago. And
we're going to fine one. I've car
parked along here somewhere"
March exclaimed, "Swell!" And

eat, never fear"
They found a shabby little road
ster and climbed in. March leaned
back blissfully, letting the wind press
her eyelids down, feeling the shoulder
Of the strange young man steady and
hard against hers as they swung a.
round corners. This was infinitely
preferable to any party of Conchita's.
She had gone, reluctant, up those
stairs, the imminence of q crowded
familiar room, of noisy familiar peo-
pie, lying like a weight upon her spir-
it. But fate, in the pleasant guise
of a guest who had already had e.
nough of the party, had interviewed
And here she was, speeding through
the night with him to some unknown
destination, the restlessness and dis
content that had possessed her cur
iously stilled.
After a time March opened her
eyes again. She liked the way the
young man drove, fast, not reckless
ly, watching the intersections. ST.
lence lay between them, but it was a
friendly silence, unconstrained.
March didn't mind the silence, but
it was she who broke it finally, in
curing, "Who did you say you

LOS ANGELES, April 6.-Police
today accepted 11-year-old Chloe
Davis story Of the quadruple slay.
ing Of her mother, two sisters and
baby brother, then heard themselves
censured for relentless hours OF
questioning."
The criticism accompanied a de-
mand by the girls father for her

Chloe has been held on a booking
OF suspicion of murder since the
bodies Of Mrs. Lolita Davis, So;
Daphne, 10; Deborah Ann, 7, and
Marquis, 3, were found battered tc
death or insensibility in the family
home last Thursday.
The slang-using sixth-grade girl
TAKEN pigtails down her back, gave
such an amazing account Of the
deaths that authorities at first were
unwilling to believe her.
Story Accepted Is Truth.
She said her mother bludgeoned
the three children. set fire to hel
own hair, then ordered Chloe te
strike her with the hammer, She
added she beat her mother. finally
gave her a razor to cut her wrists
then struck Marquis ito make him
quit groaning." The mother sue.
cumbed to loss OF blood from thu
siashed wrists. Marquis was deao
when found and the girls died In q
hospital Of skull injuries.
Chloe said she herself was STRUCK
BY her mother at one point durine
the attacks.
Her story led Capt. Edgar Ed.
wards. police homicide chief, to re.
port earlier that he was prepared
to accuse her Of all the killings
But today he commented:
I'VE believe she is telling thu
truth. We will turn all the fact.
over to the Juvenile Court. It re.
mains for the court to determine
what steps will be taken"

evident that certain police officers
were more anxious to try to prove
their theory of the case than to

the truth. When I talked to her

"The right Of courts to control or
