problems in both rail and truck
transportation during periods of
heavy movement of perishable crops.

That's right" Katie said. Il don't
know why did it, Bill. But wanted
to be like the others - brave and
noble and all And | never seemed
able to care enough about anyone
And just didn't understand.
What didn't you understand"
Bill asked.
Everything Katie said simply
Il didn't understand about tanks, or
about only two days left of some
ones leave. or about an address that
is just number. 1t was like looking
at picture and only seeing that the
frame is gold. not seeing the picture
itself at all. So now,' she said. you
know exactly what I'm like"
Bill nodded. "Yes, | know exactly
what you're like. Katie. And | think
you're about the most honest person
I've ever met"
She didn't answer right away. be-
cause she couldn't believe he'd really
said that. The waiter came and put
down rolls and potatoes and some
kind of meat. He poured water and
put on celery and olives. Finally he
left them alone again
"Me?" Katie asked. in small, as
tonished voice.
"Yes, you." Bill said seriously.
Katie could, hardly breathe; it was
like miracle the way everything sud-
denly changed. Bill was smiling, and

she felt as though she'd known him
long time. He was looking straight
at her, and then he put his hand over
hers. He said, 1--WE all do things like
that, in one form or another, but not
many of us own up afterwards.
Then he called the waiter back and
ordered some kind of wine. And when
the wine was poured he raised his
glass and said happily. ITO Sam.
God bless him"
Katie took sip of the wine and
laughed a little shakily and said,
why to SAM
Because | was thinking about him
all last night and wishing he wasn't.
and now he isn't"
That's pretty involved" Katie
said Her eyes were shining, her heart
was beating dreadfully and she could
hardly breathe.
$50 is everyone" Bill said grandly,
Human beings are the most involved
creatures on earth. And Katie, you
are the most beautiful, and that isn't
involved at all"
30 THAT was the way it went. Bill
had three days left of his leave -
so they had three lunches and three
dinners, and three long evenings to-
gether. And at the end of that time
it was understood that some day they
would be married, if possible the next
time Bill had leave But of course it
was all pretty uncertain, because the

ME-" Katie said.
In spite of herself her voice was
shaky, and Bill looked deeply con-
cerned. 'I'll be glad to help any way
can," he said quickly
"Yes. of course" Katie tried to
smile - but she saw that it was going
to be worse than she had imagined
Dill gave her a cigarette. When he
lit it for her the fame wavered, and
she saw that his eyes were steady and
smiling encouragement She took off
her blue beret, and ran her fingers
through her shiny blonde hair. She
met his steady eyes. She said, Il guess
it's no fun to be laughed at, but that's
what expect. Bill, and deserve it"
She put the cigarette down, because
even her fingers felt numb. She said,
You're not going to understand, but
have to tell you anyhow. You see.
all that about Sam was made up"
She went on from there in a kind of
rush. II did see Sam off on the train,
and l did know him at home, but
that's about where the truth ends.
I've never written him letter, and
he's never written me one, and

On that last night she went with

when the trainmaster doomed his final
announcement over the loudspeaker,
Bill folded Katie in his arms and held
her close, and then let her go and hur-
ried away.
After he had gone Katie went back
alone to the apartment. Now she had
all the trappings "a complicated
address down in Florida, a picture of
Bill in his uniform, unobtrusive ring
on her finger. and two of Bills insig-

You couldn't do thing like that. .
But why couldn't you? Suddenly
Katie knew that, though she might
hate herself if she did, she would hate
herself even worse if she didn't. She
would always feel like a fraud.

He sounded surprised, but then

from the Office.
As soon as she put the receiver down
she wished she hadn't called him. But
by now she had only two hours to
wait. Time enough to feel hot and
cold and miserable and tormented by
doubts. But not time enough to back
out.
She arrived early at the restaurant,
but Bill was already there waiting
for her. And right away he said the
worst possible thing. He said. eff it's
