Kent said slowly, Sweetheart, it's
sort of funny, Nip coming along.
They say you can't ever go back,
that you can't. have the same day
over again. But 1 have a feeling
that we're, going to laugh at that
jinx today"
-'No, it. won't be the same" her
voice was breaking. 1T can't be-
Kent caught the hint of a sob.
She felt him straighten, saw the
puzzled frown. You're not-you're
not feeling sorry for me?"
"Oh, not that" April almost
shouted it.
Relief spread on Kent's face.
For "a minute you had nee
scared" he said. But now I want
to tell you something. All the time
after. the accident, when I was in
the hospital, too darn proud to
write you Because of that. Quarrel
we'd had, I, was hanging on to one
idea. I believed that if you and I
could pack up and have a day to
ourselves in the, hills, we'd fall in
love all over again. That's what
kept me going. You see>how much
it .means?'-
April let herself be lulled. Back
went the binders on her. con-
science; down went the resolu-
tons. If this day"was SO significant
to Kent, he must have it.
! Tomorrow, oh surely tomorrow,
Ann would be home. Mother and
Dad would be back tonight and if
all else Tailed, they could prevail
on Ann to return. And April could
explain everything to her sister,
make her understand. Why, it was
like being an understudy in a play,
pinch-hitting until the real actress
could come on the scene.
Kent was saying, oh, the major
at the hospital was stubborn at
first when I asked for a leave.
Said he wouldn't hear to it. But
l.. said what was most important
in a pending operation was to have
the patient ready for it. And be-
cause he's a fine surgeon, he knew
I was right
Yes, you are right, Kent"
Nothing a lick me, Ann, if
we're together again"
mo, nothing can lick you"
Yes, that was it. She had to help
him, couldn't let him down be-
fore Ann returned.
He leaned back, a certain shy
less in his face. Nip settled be-
tween them and looking down at
his wiry head, April couldn't help
the smile pulling at her lips. Nip!
Nip knew she wasn't Ann. But he
couldn't say a word-only sit there
with that wise-owl look in his
eyes.
The road rolled and dipped. The
miles sped. The three in the road.
ster raced on in a complete har-
mony of silence. :
Now ard then, April threw a
glance at Kent. Each time il
seemed as if she saw something
else that made her pulse quicken.
And when it appeared as if, &C,
tually, the drawn lines in his face
we're lifting, she could have
cheered.
Where are we now, Ann?"
Nip gave a derisive snort. April
hushed him and said, I'VE are
about to be welcomed to Jones
burg"
Fine. I've always had a han

Keeping British Aid
Going Will Win War,
President Says
Dismisses Query on
Whether Bridge of Ships
Will Be Protected
3, TIRE Associated Press.

b tte Associated Press.
President Roosevelt declared late
today that the current war can be
won only by keeping the main de-
fense of the existing system of de-
mocracy going and said that de-
fense is England.
He told a press conference that
the war would not be won by one
sea fight or by one retreat in Greece
or even the whole Eastern Mediter-
ranean
A strong affirmative was his reply
to question as to whether he was
confident that the defense of Eng
land will be kept going"
And certainly, he asserted. there
will be no lessening of shipments of
war materials to Britain.
Asked whether the question of
conveys now had to be considered.
the President replied by remarking
that he did not live in Delphi
where legendary Greek oracle was
situated.
Mr.. Roosevelt dismissed as too
glittering an inquiry whether any
steps were being undertaken to pro-
tect bridge of ships to Britain.
His discussion of the war situa-
ton was prompted by request for
any comment he might be able to
give on reports sent back from Eng
land by Gen. H. H. Arnold, assist
ant chief of staff in charge of air.
The President said so many re-
ports were coming in it was diff
cult to say what should be made
public.
