Afterward, whenever she thought BECAME THE of that Friday in court, April would remember one strange part of | it. That morning, she wore a plain black dress and a tri-cornered hat. Dad, eying her critically, remarked, “Why, you look almost judicial, Daffy.” She came into the crowded, highceilinged courtroom, not seeing anyone. But somehow, she and Kent stood up together to be sworn as witnesses. , ” ” ” YES, ON FRIDAY, she and Kent promised to tell tne truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. On Saturday, Kent and Ann would stand together, hands linked, to make a vow even more solemn. . Winkie Appleman took the stand first, hobbling as he went. He told a story that grew more damaging to April with every word. His eyes watered, his back hunched. “Yes, I was coming out of the Pattonsville railroad station that night, where I spend considerable time, not having much of a place I can call a home,” he said. “And all of a sudden, this here April Burnett drives her car at roarin’ speed right to the platform where I'm about to step down and knocks me over.” There was more to it. How he'd been shocked by pain, cut and bleeding. “Call an ambulance, I asks her,” he said. “Get a officer of the law. But she won’t listen to none of this. She says she has to keep it quiet.” “No cross-examination,” Mr. Burnett snapped when Winkie had fin_ished. Then April was called. She walked to the stand erect, chin high. Yes, she admitted that in the flying snow she hadn't seen the complainant, Winkie Appleman. ~ She admitted he had stumbled to . his feet and accused her of knock"ing him down. Her testimony was brief under her father’s questioning. And then it was Kent’s turn on the stard. So far, even when they had taken the witness’ oath, he had not looked at her. He didn’t look at ner now. Instead, he made a few preliminary answers on the time and place of the accident, Then he turned directly to the judge, “Your honor,” he said, “I was in the roadster with Miss April Burnett that night in the storm. Something did strike against her car. At that time, I was temporarily blinded from an accident at camp and couldn’t see what had happened. But I can tell you one thing—"' The judge nodded for him to go on. “Winkie Appleman was drunk!” The state’s lawyer was on his feet. . “I object!” . 8 =» THE OBJECTION was overruled. Kent continued in the same forthright way. “Yes, your honor, the complainant was very intoxicated. | He reeled with liquor. Even blind,

I knew he was reeling. There’s another witness here, one who had his eyes and saw it all. I think he can confirm what I say.”

Then for the first time, April saw the big-handed, freckle-faced rookie whose life Kent had saved at near cost of his own. Private Estes told bluntly how he had been at the station waiting for Capt. Kent Carter and had seen Winkie staggering from the platform and falling in the snow heap before April's car. : “She’d stopped her car even before he fell,” Private Estes testified with magnificent contempt. - “Case dismissed,” his honor ruled. Winkie began to blubber. “It’s a put-up job,” he said. “I've got lots more I ain't told yet. This April Burnett—I got witnesses—" An officer had him by the arm, silencing him. April stood up, realizing her knees were fluid. Thank you, Dad,” she whispered to her father. : He was wiping his horn - rimmed glasses, the ones that made him look so ferocious. His smile was as beaming as if he’d just won an appeal to the Supreme Court. “That’s all right, Daffy,” he said. “You run home now and help get ready for the big doings tomorrow at our house.” #8 8

AFTER THAT, she. pushed her way through the crowd, not looking at anyone—not even at Hal, who had been watching intently from a seat in the rear. Outside the Court House, safe and alone at last, she pulled off the perky tricornered hat, held a handkerchief

and Ann at home to tell them the case was over. “April!” She turned slowly, unwilling, It was Kent Carter. “Thank you, thank you for helping me,” she managed to say and held out her hand. He took it, kept it imprisoned in his. “You've! been trying to run away from me a long time.” “Oh, no, Kent, It's just that I've been busy, on the sick list, too, with a game. ankle.” “That night at the station, ene of my bags [ell on you. Young Estes told me later. You were very plucky about it, April. And I won’t be put off any longer. You've got to talk to me--now.” (To Be Continued
