TWO SERIAL STOKY DRAFTED 6Y RUTH AYERS APRIL IS ILL CHAPTER XV OOMEHOW, April Burnet reached home and crawled Into bed. After thnt ahe lay in a strong attie, suspeirded as It were, some nebulous world of her own, Ehe wiit aware at timet that Mother and Dad 1ip-1oed tn end out of the room, Or. 'Campbell, the iamily physician, had a way ot rppenrine at odd hours and then disappearing. Octuvin se:med to ' l-e a dark sphinx, sitting as mo V.snlMs and as silent sit the fced ide. And tlien,' on the third day, everything cleared ngnin. "April, dear, you're better. Thank Cod!" It was Mother, whore eyes were red-rimmed and swimming in tenrs. ' "Weil, Daffy (that -win Dad's Jet naTe lor her, shortened from daf fodil) you've scared us out of our wit. There now, lean back and don't think of a thing. AH we ask ' Is thRt youH be well again." ' April tried to lift her ankle, found that it was thick with gauze ana tape. "What what's wrong with me?" Dud aid,- "Why, goose, you've fcjen battling off a whole army of flu bugs. And you've got a wrenched ankle, a bad sprain, Dr. Ccmphefl says." Mother wiped at her eyes. "Darling, however did it happen?" April thought slowly, carefully, Took topper on the ice," jhe s-.id and loaned back into the pil low JATEri, when her parents were back in the room again, April looked from one to the other. Mother was young to have two grown 'daughters. Like Ann, she pent a lot of time outdoors and it showed tn her lithe figure and clear Kltin. Her hair was gray, cut rather short and with a swirl pf curls like April's. Dad could throw a stubborn wit ness into panic by -the fierce way lie scowled through his horn rimmed glasses 1n court. But at Tiorne, he was a lamb, deeply do ivoter) to what he liked to call his i"lhiee Utile women." .. . : '' ''You're resting much more eas ily," Mother said. "Sure I am. What what day is It, Moms?" 1 "It's Thursday. You've been 'pretty desperately III since Mon day night." ' April frowned, forced herself to think. Octuvin padded in, balanc ing a tray with tea and toast. "Ain't nutliing like a little nour ishment to perk you up," she aid in a strangely uncheerful way. ! April glanced quickly. Octavia could help her remember. But no, rOctavla was in no mood to be Ijoggcd. So she tried again to make sense out of the Jumble of thoughts iin her head. Kent Carter. She'd ipretonded she was Ann to Kent, tout he found out about the mas querade. Then he'd gone off on the 'train and she'd been left face to Ifnre with old Winkie Applemln. jThcie was something else, some thing important. Ann's letterl I "Ann is Ann home?" I At the mention of hor sister's name, Mother's eyes misted again, Ann will be here Saturday." ! "Had break for her," April 'whispered. Dad said stoutly. "Our Ann wasn't ready for an audition with Vivnno. Next tunc she won't fall." ' "Poor little lamb," Octavia mur mured under her breath. I Lying still and straight in bod, the ankle like a weight, April had the Impression that the three in the room with her had temporarily pushed back their concern for Ann but thnt it was there, deep and trong, waiting to come forth .'again. , I Mother madj an attpmnl at brightening. "I'll have to bank on' ou. April, to help us through the worst of it. Ann will be so crushed fty the experience. She's such A isliy child, so easily hurt." 1 Kent was home on leave." April blundered it out. I "Yes, Octavia told us." Mother sighed. "It was sweet of you tol (inert his train." j Would there be more? Had Oc tavia aaid anything else? No. thank heavrns. no. In her rM-, April leaned back on her piliowV lend closed her eyes again. j I . Mother and Dad tip-toed out of Ithe room. Octavia settled un easily in t chair by the bed. I'jmE next day, flowers began to arrive and tricky cards with "get well messages.". Mother was more herself today. You're going tn be snowed under rwlth notes and bouquets from the, !boys," the said. "They'll no doubt .be clamoring to have you tip and iabout again, but you're going to "forget them or mvh.Ue. Dr. Camp bell says you were worn out, thjit FOR LOVE COPYftlOHT. 141, NEA eKftVICC. IHC. what you need Is rest, In large doses." "I guess he's right. Somehow I feel as if I didn't care if I never stirred again." Flowers and more flowers. Late that Friday afternoon, April said, 'I'll take a look at the cards." Mother propped her up in bed, made her take a tablet first and a glass of fruit Juice. "We could start a florist's shop hare," Mother said as she dumped the cards into April's lap. "May be you'll let me steal a few of these for Ann's room." "Yes, please do." "Arm loves flowers. It will brighten her up, perhaps, if we liave some in her room. And by the way, we're getting her room fixed beautifully, aren't we, Oc tavia?" Octavia nodded, cast a somber glance at Ann's picture and wad dled nut. April looked listlessly at the cards. "Don't let It get you down Pete." That was one of them. Why, less than a week ago, ahe'd been at Ihc Casa Blanca with Pete one of her escorts. All this had happened to her since then. Kent Carter had come home Saturday night. Thcre'd been Sunday and Monday. Such n brief time! Surely, what had happened, what had come and gone to change her life had not taken place In that brief throe-day leave! She picked up nnoihor card. "With all good wishes for a speedy recovery Andrew." . "Sorry you're on the sick list. Bruce Lane." And one, the card that had come with the mass of yellow Jonquils. "For April Hal." She thought of Hal and what he'd said thnt lr.it night she'd seen him when he had taken her home from the dance at Casa Blanca. "I feel that way about you." This should cheer her but she dropped Hal's card with the others and pushed them aside. Funny, all the flowers that ever grew couldn't fill the empty place buried deep In your heart.

DeBernardi's triple featured the assault. Then in the fourth, Kirk was pounded from the hill by a ferocious attack which netted the Indians five more tallies. Good- 'low smashed out a long triple to feature the rally. Outside of the large score piled up by the In dians, the most pleasing thing was the display of some real in side baseball. First when Denton Talbert went all tixt way from first to third on a bunt, then scored on a wild desperate throw to nail him. Again when Ed Hughes laid down a perfect bunt to score DeBernardi from third base in the fourth Inning, a per fect execution of the squeeze play. Coupled with fine spirit and dogged determination, the Indians are going to be a mighty tough outfit to heal this year. Baker, Talbert and DeBernardi all had three hits apiece for top batting honors, while Ed Hughes had 2 for 3. The next game is at Myrtle Creek next Friday after noon.
