("STOLEN LOVE"| HAZEL LIVINGSTON jrAW FgATURSS SYtSDICATF, IHC.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO Joan Hastings, seventeen, and beautiful, lives a secluded life with her two old maiden aunts in a rundown house. She falls in love with Bill Martin, a garage worker. Meanwhile, the aunts plan to send Joan away to school. Bill tells the girl that he's very poor and it may be years before he can think of marrying, but she vows she will wait for him. Joan is overjoyed ! when news arrives that she is to - go away to school. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER VII. That night, with the door locked, and her heart beating painfully and hotly, she wrote her first love letter. But the words that slipped so naturally and warmly from her lips when Bill’s tanned cheek was close to hers, looked strange and lonely on the white paper, “Oh I can’t write it!” she whispered. “I can’t—” The hands on the battered alarm elock pointed to nine. And she wanted to post it that night! So discarding the pen, and the few I sheets of Christmas notepaper that were left, she grabbed her stubby lead pencil and school tablet, and wrote firmly and quickly in her round school-girl hand; “Dear Bill, Can you be on the hill, you know where, about four tomorrow afternoon? I am not going to school, I am going to the city with Aunt Evvie, but we will be back by then. Be sure to come, it is important. I must see you I have lots to tell you. Don’t forget. I’ve just got to see you. Your always loving Joan.” Gerwin brought it to hit.a when he came back from lunch the next day. “Letter for you, Bill. Lady friend?” Dolores, Gerwin’s pretty wife, who had stopped in the garage to rest after her day’s shopping, laughed loudly. “Let’s see. I dare you. Come on —scared, eh? I knew —a woman. Why don’t you tell w’ You’re the quiet one. Still waters —” “Aw, it’s nothing!” Bill jammed it into his pocket. “Guess I’ll go on over to Murphy’s and see about those tires.” In the shelter of Murphy’s shed, half hidden by some empty barrels and a pile of old tires, he ripped the envelope open, read the hastily penciled words. His heart sank. Something important had happened. It couldn’t be anything good. The old ladies had found out, and warned her not to aee him again most likely. Still it didn’t sound very blue. It didn’t sound just like Joan either —“Dear Bill”—somehow he expected something more than “Dear Bill.” Oh well, he’d know at four o’clock. He got to work with a will. Across the bay Jnan was eating banana shortcake and hot chocolate with whipped cream, in a restaurant! It was a modest enough coffee nouse with thick china, and glasstopped tables always slightly damp and streaked from the waitresses’ hastily administered wipings, but it was Joan’s first, and Aunt Evvie had let her order anything she wanted, up to thirty-five cents. She beamed across at stolid Evvie, consuming chicken pie and green tea, with evident relish. At their feet was a big paste-board box containing a sturdy tweed suit, two cotton blouses, and a little round straw hat with a ribbon bow. And on her feet—oh wonder of wonders —brown oxfords with high heels! From the blissful whipped cream •nd high-heeled dream in which Aunt Evvie’s unexpected generosity had submerged her, Joan came back to earth to hear the familiar bass voice saying: “Now we’ll have to hurry for the boat!” , . Os course, the boat —to take her back to Sausalito, and Bill. Still , smiling vaguely, Joan gathered up the packages, and followed Evvie out of the restaurant into the street. It was still early—there would be plenty of time, to slip up to the hill and be waiting for him when he came up the road. She sighed happily.

“Joan, for heaven’s sake, pay attention!” Evvie was get* mg sick of Joan’s dreaming. “I st.id, isn’t it too bad we didn’t bring lowers from home!” “What for?” “What for? Joan Hastings, have you been asleep? To bring to the cemetery of course—” “The cemetery—but it’s in Oakland!” “Os course —and we’re on the Oakland boat.” “Not the Sausalito boat —we're not going home now—-we’re going to the cemetery instead of home? Oh—why didn't you tell me—why didn’t you tell me?” The tragic face Joan turned to her startled Evvie out of her habitual calm. A moment passed before she gathered herself together sufficiently to answer. “Well, I should certainly think you’d want to visit your own mother’s grave on your last day! Especially when we didn’t on Easter on account of Babe's cold —the first Easter I ever missed taking flowers out to Mama and Papa— ’’ And then as Joan continued to

Joan and Ewie had i 1 left the musty smelling vault with i t its big letters, VAN FLEET, carved • in granite above the door, and were - hurwing past the pansy beds, and i the flat green with the cannon balls • where the Civil War veterans slept. “I knew we’d miss the car!” Aunt r Ewie snapped. Joan didn’t an- > swer. What did it matter? It was . too late now. Bill would be looking > for her on the hill. And she wouldn’t - be there. ’• • • ’ It was dark when Bill came down t from the hill. Joan’s scribbled note, s torn into a dozen pieces, had gone f fluttering off on the wind. He swaggered a little as he - walked. Swaggered, because he had i to do something to ease the intolert able hurt. “She didn't come—she < didn’t come.” That was as far as o his thoughts would take him. All I afternoon he had waited listening i for her step, for the sound of her s voice calling to him. And when the sun had set, and the purple shadows it from the hills spread and turned It gray, and then black, then he gave 7 up. k He passed Gerwin's Garage, s Closed. “Maybe I’ll lose my job for this,” he thought without much ine terest.

Bundles. She had been shopping. Delayed. That was all! Relief and anger surged over him in a great red wave. “Joan!” he said in a flat thin voice that echoed strangely in his own ears. “Aunt Ewie kept me—l couldn’t get back. I’ve been nearly crazy worrying that you’d think—that you’d think—•” They groped for each other’s hands. He was conscious of her chalky face in the half light from the drugstore window, of the tremor in her voice, the tenseness of her slender body. A trembling seized him. He gripped her cramped little hand holding the packages. “I worried

so,” he said huskily. “I was so afraid something had happened to you—” “Bill—dear!” Her heart was full. “Bill I want to tell you—" But before she had time for another word Aunt Evvie was coming out of the store with Aunt Babe’s mustard plaster, and Bill had stepped back into the shadows. As she plodded up the hill by Evvie’s side his last whispered words kept ringing in her ears—“Tonight—l’ll be at the hedge!” ♦ ♦ ♦ There was dinner to be got over, and a long family confab over Joan’s ticket and the gray tweed suit. Babe thought they should have got an upper berth. “It’s safer!” “Safer! Nonsense—why is it safer?” Ewie was all ready for the argument. “I've read stories about young girls traveling alone—” Babe began darkly. “Rats!” snorted Evvie. “Rats, I do everlastingly hate this drivel of yours about men. Men. Did any man ever chase you? No! Nor me either. Nor any other woman that minds her own business, and dresses neat and plain. Now that suit I picked out for Joan—” “It’s neat and plain,” Babe agreed belligerently. “And ugly. No pretty styles nowadays. When I was a girl . . . flounces . « . that shrimp pink silk mama had made for my aixteenth birthday . . Valenciennes lace . . . ostrich tips.” Joan wriggled nervously in her chair. Evvie picked up the paper and read the stock reports. In tha middle of Babe’s “Now let me see—did we have the dressmaker for that, or was that one we bought in the city?” Ewie yawned, and went to bed. After a long time Babe’s pauses grew longer. She nodded, roused herself, creaked upstairs too. i (To Be Continued Tomorrow)
