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

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.

was pounded from the hill by a
ferocious attack which netted the

Matheson's 9th Inning
Homer Wins for Seattle
I By the Associated Press)
Thanks to Outfielder Mathe
son's timely homer, Seattle found
itself in second place in the Pa
cific Coast baseball league today.
It was three balls and two
strikes on Matheson in the ninth
inning at Los Angeles yesterday
when he whammed out a round
tripper over the left field wall
with Scarsella on base.
The blow gave Seattle a 4-2 win
over the Angels and climaxed a
tight duel which saw Gregory
limit the Angels to six hits in
besting Prim and Berry. The
win gave Seattle, the 1940 pennant-winner,
a 2-to l edge in the
series.
It was the only game played In
the loop yesterday, rain and wet
grounds forcing three postpone
ments. Luisetti Stars in Hoop
