Safety-Responsibility Law Regulations At A Glance

(Editor's note: This is the fourth of a series of articles prepared by the Indiana division • f public safety to explain the new motor vehicle safety responsibility law. which goes into effect on July 1. This article relates to court judgments resulting from motor vehicle accidents. It also discussra further provisions concerning financial resp< nsibility for the future). The new law provides that when a court where a judgment was taken reports to the director of public safety the failure of a penion to satisfy, within 30 days, a final judgment of more than 125 for property damage or In any amount for personal injury or death, the director shall suspend that person's driving license, registration certificate and plates. However. If a person's license and registration have thus been suspended for failure to satisfy a judgment, he will not necessarily get the meat. What meat we have is therefore very unevenly divided among the civilian population. And of course, immediately, a cry goes up all over the land for wage Increases because workers are tinableto afford Inflation prices for the meat they must have In order to maintain their producing strength. Without control over prices, the Government entens the field of competition for war mate*lais, and takes what it needs at the market price, no matter how exorbitant. The bill Is of course passed on to you. the taxpayer. Price control is her. Io prevent just that sort of thing.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN She was caught up in an enchantment stronger than before. Enchantment flowed about her like the soft mists rising from the lake. Enchantment that was of the moonlight, and the perfume, and tho thrill of his strong hands on her shoulders, and the music from the ballroom of the easino. All her life she was to remember that tune—and the words: “I’ll Never Smile Again—’’ that sounded so foolish, then, when she was eaughi up in enchantment At that high moment of feeling, she was aware that not even their first kiss eould carry her to greater heights than now in its piercingly sweet anticipation. This is love at last, her heart eried. This is what I’ve been looking for, above all the hard work, and the fun, and the silly little flirtations that have meant exactly nothing to me.

i Jim’s hands slid from her should- ’ ers to her arms as he drew her 1 I elose, and looked into her eyes. It , was as though he tried to read her very soul, thought Ann—and she re- 1 sponded, wordlessly, with every fiber of her being. "You have beautiful eye*. What ' do they Uli?" asked Jim, softly. She managed: “Perhaps—what I see in yours—’’ 1 As his lips eloeed down on hen, it was a* though every nerve in her < body tingled with joy. It was as I though molten quicksilver sang in her veins. Caught up in rapture, < 1 her body felt curiously light, yet r tinglingly alive from head to heel. , > She didn't know that she was trem- > bling. f He whispered: "Cold?" She whixpered: "No! How fould I be?” She gave a shaky little laugh. Didn't he know that she had come alive at last? Didn’t he know that nothing mattered but these moment* lent from heaven? That all her life had been nothing but a waiting for this hour? That his kiss was the warm, sweet flame transforming her from a girl into a palpitating, hiving woman? He kissed her again—a longer kiss this time. He held her slim, sweet body tight in his arms. And the perfume of the jasmine wrapped them in delicious benediction. And the moon shone down. The hard feel of the muscles in his splendid body, the strength flowing through him, found response if) hfr She slid her hands to the back of his neck, and closed her eyes. Love had come to her, wafting her to glory. Even the leaves on the tree* eeased their whispering, and the whole world seemed to stand still, breathless. All her life long, in the years that followed, Ann was to remember this trip to paradise. ... Never had she dreamed she was capable of such emotion as Jim awoke in her, tn the deep, fragrant garden of the easino. His kisses were more than she had ever thought kisses eould be. A blend, she thought, of everything the soul of a woman could desire. Fire—passion—tenderness—sweetness—belonging. She felt, as she responded with her lips, her heart, that fcrever they would bind him e to her. .. . Word* were not necessary, she l- thought But ia a moment be would ted h»r that he loved her. . . _

The way of a man with a maid. What she had been born for—she ■ knew it now—was love— hit love! i And she was glad to the sou! that in her life, she had done nothing of 1 which she need be ashamed. For, 1 no matter what temptations had < come to her, she had withstood them, ; keeping herself unsullied in body and soul. 1 Men had fallen in love with her easily—or what passed for love— i but she had held her head proudly and high. < Then suddenly she was aware that ' Jim had released his hold—that he i was unloosing her arm* from about i him—was thrusting her from him—leaving her breathless and shaken, i “Why do you do that?” she whis- ' pcred. "Don’t you—mean it at all?” He laughed hoarsely. He said a strange thing, a dreadful thing. He said slowly but clearly: "Lovely—little—liar!” Had he struck her across the face,

she could not have been more shocked and stunned. "Lovely-little-liar!" he repeated. The words fell on her ears like the lash of a whip. "How dare you?” she gasped. "But I did. 1 took your dare! You ean’t blame me for being -human? Didn’t I warn you you were lovely? Heady like the jasmine? And you know it!” he told her. “You mean—?’’ Her face was crimson now, not passion-laden any more. "I mean that you expected something like this to happen when you asked me to come out into the garden. You did, didn’t you?” She summoned all her strength not to burst into tears. She faced him. head held high. Her dream was shattered. The trailing elouds of glory in which she had been eaught up, were gone, never to return. AB that was left her was her pride—or the tattered semblance of it—but she'd keep those tatters flying—not let him see her painful hurt. "The episode was as amusing to me as it was to you!” Could that be her own laugh? It sounded like a cackle. In a moment, unless she checked it, it would rise to hysteria —and she’d die of shame if she broke down! lie bowed with an ironical little smile. “I gathered it was a mood—following the cocktails,” he told her. "How dare you?” she flashed, forgetting her role. His only feeling for her had been one of physical attraction. He thought her cheap, easy, out for counterfeit sensation. He had called her "Lovely little liar" because he thought her emotion was merely of the senses, and because he thought something more —something equally hateful and degrading —that she was partner to Hank in tricky gambling! Under his apparent acceptance of her explanations, he'd still thought that what she bad told him was untrue! He said coolly: "I'm sorry if you’re upset, but I—" She fairly shouted: “No!
