CHAPTER v

Lynn, standing at the door of the
trailer, heard the farmers offer of
hospitality.
"OhI" It had never occurred to
Lynn that she and Rene might have
to explain their unconventional but
highly proper situation.
Then she forced herself to pre-
pare supper. For Rene would be
hungry when he came back. AS
she was lighting the stove, Mrs.
Lowell, the farmers wife, walked
down through the barnyard and
knocked at the door.
81 thought you folks might like
some fresh milk. And here are a
couple of pieces of apple pie.
There's just you and your hus-
band?"
yes" Lynn managed the word.
what did you say his business
was?"
Hes a painter"
my, that's nice. He can keep
things up around the trailer. Now
when Melvin tries to paint he makes
such a mess of everything"
Lynn did not 60 into details about
what kind of a painter Rene was.
'You folks must be just married. Z"
Lynn murmured something and
she blushed violently.
''Now, won't tell soul. I know
how sensitive you honeymooners
are"
Lynn was about at the end of her
rope when Mrs. Lowell heard a car
drive In.
Lynn knew from Rene's face that
there was something seriously
wrong with the car. -
I'm afraid Wen be tied up for a
day at least" he said as he came
over to the trailer.
spa, why don't you have him
paint the garage-that is, Il they've
got to stay over? He's a painter,
his wife tells me-"
THAT so2 How about it, Bou-
chier?"
Lynn expected to hear him decline
with vigor.
That's not a bad idea. How
much would you figure the job
WORTH" he asked.
How long would it take your"
asked the farmer.
ST better look it over" Rene re-
piled, and walked over to the ga
rage.

1.-THE steaks swell. Best meal
I've had in weeks" Rene declared
as he fell to it.
When they had finished and were
sitting with their coffee, Lynn, her
elbows on the table, brushed back
her hair and remarked:
why do they call him that?"
Rene, knowing quite well what
she meant, said:
wild, Wild Austin"
Because he is, 1 guess" Rene
said as he lighted his pipe. He's
been Ii lot of scrapes. I know

of promise or something. His broth

She told him her story.

And such young men. That Nc

The girls cheeks flushed, there
was disbelief In Rene's cool eyes.
I'm telling you the truth. How
did you suppose I know how to work
N this trailer? I'm a house maid,
] tel you'll"
Rene laughed. Here was max

about you"

the elephants and camels acted very

1.-THE circus was really a circus
when you could smell it a mile away.
The smells made it. Air-condition-

circus should be left untouched by
it." continued Elmer. However,
that's all done and over; what I'm

it nearer to the oil lamp.

"Oh, I'm not much Of a critic,
but I've always loved pictures. Let
me see some more"
They spent an hour over the
sketches, and then Rene declared he
was tired. They had agreed on an
early start In the morning. With
nine hours sleep they felt they
would be ready to forge ahead
through Georgia. Rene got some
blankets together, to go out into the
car, when Lynn looked out the door

said. IT don't think you should sleep

So that was the way il was ar

front of the trailer, Rene's was on
the sofa at the dining table. Lynn
folded away the table, made I'D his
bed while he went out to check ev-

piece Of canvas over the motor.

Lynn awakened first the next
morning. It was a pleasant day.
Quietly she slipped out of the trailer,
wearing the only bathrobe Rene
possessed. There was a stream
nearby and Lynn bathed her face
there, and dabbled her feet IN the
cold water. It was a lovely morn
ing. Like Spring, but cool, for they
were now farther north.
With light heart she went back
to the trailer, got into her overaIls,

CHAPTER HI-Continued

Lynn was In the drivers seat and
Rene, beside her, directed opera
tons. Things went along smoothly,
for Lynn took the road at a slow,
even pace. Before they had gone
five miles, Rene was asleep. The
girl drove on until they came to g
small town, and she stopped in
front ot'the first garage. Rene awak-
ened with start. Lynn smiled and
urged Rene to go back into the
trailer and sleep.
III drive carefully, honestly I
will"
But Rene preferred to doze in the
car. Il want TO be sure We get out
Of Florida tonight. Wen go on and
stop before dark. We've got to shop,
anyway. There isn't anything to eat
N the place"
They picked up some groceries In
a small town where they were al
lowed TO park on the street for ten
minutes. When Rene came back with
his arms full Of purchases, he threw
a New York paper into Lynn's lap.
-Four days old, but well know
what's going on in the home town."
Home town? I came from Yer
mont"
I'm from Ohio, myself, but I'm
New York painter just the same"
he retorted.
They finally halted for the night
ten miles out of Kingsland, Ga. Both
Of them were tired, but they'd made
a good days run. Rene pulled the
trailer over on a side road. 1--WE
got steak for supper and some pota-
toes" he said.
Lynn set 70 work, while Rene read
the New York paper. He was deep
II the sport page when Lynn was
setting the table. She glanced over
his shoulder as he read there on the
settee. There was a large picture
Of smiling young man receiving a
golf trophy.
''Oh!" Lynn cried out, startled.
That's the mani
What mani"
The one who followed US last
night"
You mean this guy?" Rene de-
manded, pointing to the picture on
the sport page. Lynn nodded.
Listen, child, you made a mis-
take Wild Austin has all the mon
ey II the world! You should have
stayed IN Floridal"
Rene looked up at Lynn specula-
lively. She had made no explana-
ton Of the matter of the night be-
fore.
You aren't an heiress running
away, are your"
''Of course not! You saw IT Hap
pened One Night That's your trou-
BILE And as for Wild Austin, I
hate himl I never want to hear his
name again" Then Lynn had to
rush and rescue the smoking steak.
