breakfast, it was worth it. Sure, he
knew his number was up. But that
one kiss would last him forever, and
would ease the torment in his soul.
He was perfunctory in farewells
to his family. They didn't notice.
They never did. Bob had gone with
friends to Westchester. Checked out
early last night. Rather downcast.
said Mrs. Westover. on account of the
note that Willie had left.
"Too bad." said Willie. not caring
much. "Bye. Mother" and left.
On the platform. he found what he
was looking for: Mcgowan. OBrien
and Jones. He also found them in
huddle, conspiring more trouble, he
supposed.
Willie approached strategically. and
attacked in all directions from the
rear
Nov, listenr' His voice was almost
a shout. 1.-The first one that calls me
Lieutenant gets very smart poke
in the nose. It's over. all of it, get me?"
IT WAS then that Willie saw what
the three musketeers were budding
around. 1t was Carol. who, bright
eyed, looked out. Good morning,
Willie" she said pleasantly.
Willie said: "You three yahoos
scram."
The three yahoos scrammed re-
spectfully. And not one of them prof
fered a salute.
Willie went two or three violent
shades of red, but this time he was de-
termined he would say the things that
he should have said before he kissed
this girl last night. Carol" he said.
'T'm very sorry. played cheap trick
on you, and l."
Hush" - Carol came quite close
to him 90 know all about it - now.
At three o'clock this morning, was
talking to Marcia. l felt I'd betrayed
her, and I wanted to confess. could
mt start New Year without telling
her that l was afraid l had taken
away her man. She said not to be
crazy. That Bob Westover had called
her from various phones at intervals
all during the evening. She'd had
flowers from him every hour on the
hour, and he simply couldn't be the
man."
''Oh," said Willie, slightly eased.
$50 then we began to compare
notes, and it wasn't long before she
found out that I'd spent the evening
with Bob's brother, Willie.''
"Yes." he confessed. I'm Willie.
And I'm private, Carol, as well.''
But you look so wonderful in
uniform -"
Willie's jaw dropped. "In these?
No bars, no cheWons, no nothing?"
"Uh-huh! l think you look grand"
"Carol," Willie's voice was plead
ing-''do you remember what said
to you last night? There wasn't any,
thing phony about loving you. Look"
as the 'all-aboard" cry came
''is there any way l can make it up
to your"
willie, you bet there is! You put
in for Officers Training Camp. do you
hear me? You work like crazy and
get your own commission, too. If
Bob can make it, you can. Mcgowan,
O'Brien and Jones think so too. And.
Willie -"
The train was moving now.
Eyes, Carol?"
"You can kiss me again - if you
like"
Willie just barely made it, both the
kiss and the train. He entered the
khaki-crowded day coach with cock
eyed. silly sort of grin. He saw Ma
gowan. O'Brien and Jones there, and
waved happily.
"Hi. gang" said Private Willie
Westover, you can salute me any
time Won want.''

brought him topside again-in lore.
Yeah! Love! A big load of it! Willie
had imagined its sweet. sighing sad
ness. but never, never like this. This
girl had everything: She was impro-
gitablel Delimpful! And very, very.
nice! Look" croaked Willie, with
purpose, ''it's after eleven. Carol.
Well have to 60"
Il know" she sighed regetfully.
1--WE had such a wonderful time"
Willie led her to the table. Eel
lows" he said, ''it's good night. I'll
pay the check and you can stay here
until the management kicks you out"
Willie called waiter and paid it.
He paid like the First National Bank,
while Mcgowan. O'Brien and Jones
crowded around Carol in farewell.
Then they were going doorwards,
until Willie was touched from the rear.
But touched! BY Jones, who grabbed
his elbow. 'Just one thing more, Lieu
tenant" he said. Remember that
twenty you owe me for target prac-
tice? l really could use it tonight"
For one moment, Willie nearly gave
the show away. But Carols eyes were
on his own, as if to say: "The poor
man does need it, you see!'
Willie paid Jones off.
Jones came to smart salute. "Mon
cabit0iner' he said, and added:
That's French. l don't know the
French for Lieutenant. But Bon
Annie - that's Happy New Year -
to mon eabi,aine, and his gal! That's
from all three of us, Miss Hollister.
Well be seeing you, Lieutenant. to-
morrow morning at Penn Station in

"Yeah," said Willie very dourly.

to say to you." he told Carol. "And
1 can't say it walking along the street.
We might run into more of my bat
talon, or platoon, or whatever I've
got"
Carol gave him an east eighties
address, and they rode along through
the night. Whatever Willie was going
to say, he didn't say it. He just sat
there, silent and confused. When they
arrived, he paid off the taxi and es-
corted her to the apartment house door.
She paused there, and said, "WellF".

well what ?" Willie stupidly asked.
Wasn't there something you were
going to tell me?"
yeah" said Willie. ''but can't"
The elevator boy looked at his call
board. and the doorman looked at the
stars, and Carol looked up at Willie.
and Willie looked positively sunk.
But I've got to tell you," he said
finally; and to the doorman: Call
another cab."
Round the block" directed Willie,
when they were in it. Until l tell
you to STOP"
Look, Carol" She was shadowy
beside him, but he could feel, could
catch the fragrance from her hair.
This is New Years remember, and

The cab had completed a circuit
and once again was approaching
Carols door. Willie did his best to
time it. He said to the cab driver:
stop !'- and his arms went out to
gather Carol. and it was wonderful
gathering as he held her very closely
and with one trembling finger tilted
up her chin. Willie kissed her. Into
it went all the yearning of many years.
All the sweetness and the tenderness
that he knew he could feel for girl.

And he added: Il love your - but
she was gone. He had one glimpse of

Representative Bates. Democrat,
of Kentucky, complained last night
that Washington police had been
downright rude" to his son. who
several days ago sought permission
to buy couple of gallons of gaso-
line after the pm. curfew in Or
der to get his own car back to the
George Washington Inn where he
lives.
Mr.. Bates, former member of the
House District Committee who two
years ago directed the explosive
milk investigation, said his car in
which his son had been using to
conduct a couple of his Kentucky
constituents on a sightseeing tour
ran out of gas near Ninth and F
streets NV. Thursday shortly after
7pm.
MY son went to a gasoline sta
ton in the neighborhood," said Mr..
Bates land was told that before he
could buy any gas he would. have
to get permission of the Police De-
partment. He then went to a pre-
cinct station, I don't know which
one, and was told he had been in
Washington long enough to know
that gasoline was not sold after 7
pm.
"As a result my son was forced
to take taxicab to the hotel, siphon
enough gasoline out of friends car
to bring my car back to the hotel.
He went back to Ninth and r streets
in the friends car.
