The next day she went for
walk, returning on the Bristol road
at about the time Preston was due
TO come along, en- route home from
his duties in the neighboring town.
She heard the familiar chug of his
ancient automobile before it reached
her, and despite herself her heart
began to pound. She knew a feeling
OF relief when the chugging slowed
down and a familiar voice asked her
II she wanted to ride.
During the drive back to town
Preston talked about the weather
and about the country club dance
and even touched on the general
chaotic condition of the world. When
ne deposited her at her own door
step Ina was furious. He hadn't
even mentioned her ring. or their
quarrel, or the fact that he was
contemplating suicide because of
her eng2g cement. The insolent thing!
It was four full days before Ina
cooled of enough to inveigle another
ride from Preston. During that
period he hadn't called, and she had
been wholly miserable because of
his neglect This time she sup
pressed her pride by sheer will
power and phoncd him.
Preston" she said. 81 have to
get over TO Oakland tonight and the
folks are using our car. Would you
drive me over ard back?"
"Why,' said Preston, politely en-
thusiGsJic, I'd love to-"
And in ten minutes he was out
front. Midway to Bristol the car of
ancient vintage gave a couple of
tittul coughs and died. Preston
looked concerned and apologize.
Of all times to have this happen!
Would there be serious consequences
If she didn't reach Oakland within
the hour?
Oh, no, Ina told him, it wasn't
important And she blessed the
fact that Preston wasn't rich. be-
cause if he We're rich he could al
ford car that wouldn't break down.
There was nothing to do but wait
until another car came along by
which they could send word to the
nearest garage Ina made herself
comfortable. Preston lit a ciga-
rctte. There followed a period of
silence. Presently Preston sat up
right with a start.
What is it," asked Ina in faint
alarm.
Heavens" said Preston. 81 just
thought of something" Without
warning he leaned over and kissed
her. There"
"Preston Mason" began Ina an
grily, but Preston Interrupted.
Now don't start lecturing
about my sense Of honor. I've

Cured TO me that if you had no
moral sense OF honor than to go
out with me while you're en-
gagged to another man, there's
no reason for me to be bothered
by scruples either"
I'm not engaged"
"You're wearing David's ring"
cts only on approval and
and"

finished.
INA bit her lip. ooh, Preston,
everything's so confused in my
mind I don't know what to do. 1
