O—O The National Safety Council is urging that motor vehicle operators start at once to condition their cars or trucks for winter driving.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR i ANNE WAS glad it was the Im- ' perturbable surgeon who had been ' flustered when they met in Wash- 1 Ing ton. Dr. Raynor, and not she. He had begged to talk to her. She had pricked the bubble of his conv ’ plaisant conceit. She had shown 1 him that his importance, his telephone messages, his telegrams, his conferences, meant nothing to her now. She could see he couldn't grasp how she was marrying Dan —Dan in his iU-fltUng suit, his outdoor » ok and long dark hair. Dan who i—?ed in that place aa if he | had worked two weeks for a man who'd given him an old suit She wanted Dwight Raynor to see all of it and how completely rhe had forgotten him and his world of success. And ones *h* felt he had seen and she had walked out of the hotel with Dan. the rest hadn’t mattered. She had felt drained of strength and purpose as the taxi crossed the long bridge over the Potomac to Alexandria. If Dan really wanted to marry her. It was all right. At least he hsdn t let her

down during those precious mlnutes with Dr. Raynor. Me had stood by her as she got back her selfrespect. Her love for Dwight had been the biggest thing in her life. It had dominated her even before he told her he loved lier. He had destroyed that love when he thrust her aside to marry money. It hurt more because money was so easy for him to earn. She had tried to run away from his memory, tout it had always been at the back of her ndnd like a cloud abutting away the sun. Ag she rode across the long bridge over the Potomac she felt glad of Dan Smith who held her hand She would marry Dan and be happy with him for a few days and get Dwight Raynor out of her mind forever She needed someone to love her, to hold her tight, to aay ho was crazv about her. Dan would wander off. of course, but that didn't matter. She would only need a few <laya to be sure of hersel" again, to be sure the love tor Dwight was deader than dead. ' Those had been her thoughts going to Alexandria to get married Now, sitting st her window, she couM smile up at the moon. Dan had done his part. Ho .«ad made her laugh While bo made her forget.

Sire had told him the holiday was over and now they had to work. He had kissed her and then Russell had come in. There had been consternation in Russell’s eyes. She smiled. She wondered If Dsn would tell Russell, but somehow she felt he wouldn't. They had deciderf nobody was to know, when 'she made up her mind to come back. He had said he'd follow in a day or two. but she had had no belief in his appearing. It wasr't that she didn't want to see him again, but merely that she didn't expect to see him. He knew it. They had both needed each other that day In Washington. She liked to feel it was not all one-sided. She had told Dan , so tonight. The moon went behind a cloud ' and a faint chill seemed to come into the room. She got up and ‘ opened her door. The house was ' very quiet For a moment she healr tated. then she went downstairs

and out into the street. The lock was on the door, but she didn't Intend going far. Morris street was very quiet. The moon was bright in the eky again and the big trees cast shadows on the rough brick sidewalks. Moot of the houses were dark. The fixed wooden awning at Jane Dorset's Town Shoppe cast a heavy shadow. A dog lying there got up and brushed against her, thrusting his cold wet nose against her hand. She wasn't frightened. She felt him as a kindred spirit as he walked alongside her. Every moment ho would look up at her as if asking where everyone was and why they weren’t out walking when It was so beautiful outside under the moon. A fat man came along, singing ' softly, “Ah, moon of my delight'* 1 Ho smiled as he came up to her and stopped. "Isn't it a glorious night? I felt I couldn’t steep." The dog ' pawed him happily and he patted 1 the silky head. Ho went on, “I’m • sure you must be Anhe Wilson. I Just go here tonight. Eleanor Ban- ■ croft told me about you."

one feels sunshine. The idea made her smile. She was glad, too, that she had yielded to an Impulse and comt out for a few minutes She hadn't wanted to talk to the fat man who sang sentimental songs, though she was sure ho had wanted conversation. She had been in no mood But this was different. Russell Smith had leanness and dignity—as Dwight Raynor had. She could look at him and feel glad Dwight had been swept out of her life. She felt very cool, very sure of herself. “You might offer m« a clgarrt I before you start scolding," she said ! lightly. i "I’m not going to scold. But I must talk to you."
