other night, when Dad had been in|,, No: I'm not lying. her room, he had spoken of the deep disappointment Ann would always feel because she had failed before ‘the great Vivano. She thought of what she herself had said, “All the more reason why nothing must spoil her happiness with Kent.” Inwardly, something cried out, “But you, April, what about you?” She tried to make a decision, her hands twisting at her handkerchief, knotting it. Many men had fallen in love with her. But they'd recovered and .gane their way to find girls who would make better wives. Kent would be the same. He would forget her, or if he remembered, it would be to think that she had dazzled him, charmed him momentarily. She began slowly, uncertainly, and yet with a sure goal ahead. “You're very gallant, Kent.” “Galant!” He brdled. “It's too bad,” she went on, twisting the spidery lace until it was like a string in her hands, “if I misled you. That night when I toot up to the train, I told you I had pretended to be Ann because I felt softy for you. Ln oN. SHE SAW HIM straighten, his head lift. . She managed a shrug. “It was more than being sorry for you, of -course, I liked you and thought that<it would be sort of a masfluerade for those three days and 10 one would ever know the dif-

thought you'd take it this way. It was something that happened and vet as you said that night, was over and done with as if it had never happened at all. Really, Kent, we'd both better forget it. As for me, I'm in love with someone else, Hal Parks. I'm going to up and marry him one of these days.” There, that would let her out, soften the blow for him. The white anger in Kent’s face died out. He looked gray, haggard, beaten. He started the car and soon the familiar streets of Pattonsville loomed ahead. “If you don’t mind,” she said, “I'd like to get out at the next corner. Have some errands to do.” “Very well.” “And, Kent,” she tried to touch his hand timidly, “it was better, don’t you. think, that we didn’t try to kid ourselves. You and Ann were meant for each other, you're going to make a happy couple.”

THE CORNER was just ahead. If he would only speak, say something kind that she could keep as a treasure of him for the rest of her life! His eyes had been so warm, so searching when he had met her outside the court. But now they were hard as the hailstones that had pelted down the day when the outing had ended in storm. “Here you are,” he said, opening the car door. If he had been angry with her the night she’d taken him to the train, this was beyond anger. His

face held a look.of hatred, a look to emigrate to

grateful jor the love of a girl like Ann.” Well, she could carry it through to the end. She stepped out of the car and, leaning against the door, made a prelense of dabbing at her eyes with her handkerchief, : “You'll heve me weeping here in a minute.” she said. “You weeping?” Kent laughed. “You don't know what tears are.” No? | Well, something was surely blurring her lashes as she stood on the corner long after Kent Carter was out of sight.
