D SERIAL STORY

YESTERDAY: April discovers Ann's singing caused the quarrel with Kent. The storm has pre- vented her parents return from their trip so April is alone with her grief and her problem. But Kent will be leaving soon. Then a letter comes It is from Ann.
 
 KENT FINDS OUT
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-24

'There wasn't any call for you to chauffeur me-" Kent answered in an expressionless voice. I've been trying to get you all day by telephone, but I guess you know the storms put the lines out of order" A......a..5
 Quite storm we started yes- terday, wasn't it?" she forced, 8 bitter laugh. "Yes, quite a storm" !"
 The snow was drifting on the hill, fuzzy clouds of it eddying along the road.
 April turned to Kent. Did she imagine it or had he changed. He was back in uniform and the broad-shouldered coat had a cer- tain swagger. The visor of the officers cap shadowed his face and made the dark glasses less noticeable.
 That wasn't all. April saw the turn of his chin; was aware that his mouth was set in all uncom- promising line.
 I'm a little early so we'd have plenty of time to make the train" she began haltingly.
 Maybe we have plenty of time for this, too," he said.
 Before April could move, Rents arms encircled hers, arms with out gentleness. Slowly, his lips brushed across her cheek and then came down to crush her mouth.
 She tried to push away, but the hammering of her heart made her limp. This wasn't the kiss he had given her yesterday on the hilltop. This was something different, a soaring, shattering kiss.
 When it was over, April pressed one hand to her lips. Kent had no right to do this unless = unless he knew. He'd said he hated cheap loye-making. By the dashboard light, she saw he was shaken, too, and sat remote, a1oof in his corner of the seat.
 Better start" he advised in the same expressionleSs tone.
 Automatically, she set of. The snow was a blessing; the treacher- ous roads an escape. Intent on the driving, she could push every other thought and question from

her except the memory of that shattering kiss.
 The windshield wiper labored as it cleared an arc in the glass and the tire chains rattled with steely, discordant clatter
 Neither April nor Kent spoke until the car had reached the foot of the hill.
 Then Kent broke the deadlock. What was it you wanted to tell me?",
 Deep within her, April sensed what was coming, so on impulse she stopped the car. The white night came down like a curtain as she turned to Kent. What she read in his tense face made her realize there wasn't any need for her to speak at all. Kent Carter knew!
 You're April" he said. That's why I kissed you as did, to let you know I knew. Why did you do 1t, April? Was it to annex an- other scalp to your belt. Did you think your charm would b fatal?"

 The study will be conducted by the Statewide Highway Planning Survey of the State Highway De- partment. and interviewers will inaugurate a sort of sampling pro- cess on Routes 8 and 69, north of this city, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. That is, one out of probbaly 20 to 25 mo- torists will be questioned as to the point of origin of his motor trip, his last stop and the purpose thereof, his next stop and why, and his ultimate destination.
 This plan is expected to provide clue to the best site for the pro- posed route, and the survey will be made in the Waterbury area for the first half of next month. The remainder of November will be devoted to a similar study in the vicinity of Bristod.'
