With one arm protectingly around April, he talked to the constable, drove to the police sta tion and arranged lor bond. The date of the hearing In lower court was set for the following Friday. That night, April came home early, managed to carry the hid den brown suitcase into tho house unseen. Not that it mattered, she thought with a wry smile twist ing her mouth, if all Hie family, all the town watched her. It was loo late now to spare Ann from the gossip that would he sure to. follow Winkle's suit; too late to keep Dad from knowing she was accused of trying to "fix" n case. Lying awake in bed that night, she was sure ahe heard sound' of sobs from tho adjoining room where Ann slept. But there was no sign ot tears In Ami's eyes the next morning. Except for her pallor, she was seemingly as happy as she had been since Kent had returned. "Kent and 1 have set our wed ding day," she announced at the breakfast table. "It will be on Saturday afternoon, Mother, and because well, because of every thing, we've decided it will bo a very quiet ceremony horo at home." Mother brightened instantly at this news, although she showed tho marks of worry from the ex perience last night when Winkie had brought the warrant. She put down her coffee cup with n clatter. "Saturday? We never can do it. Today Is Tuesday, so that meaiu only four days to get ready." "Oh, I think we can manage il nicely," Ann Baid. "Vuu going to tho altar on Sat urday and me to Jail on Friday," April tried to juke. "Please, April," Mother pleaded Mid then almost irt 01100 forgol her distress in the hasty making Of plans. APRIL tried to avoid Ann thai morning, hut htr sister i-auitht up with .her in the hallw'iy. "Was there some roiiwn." she naked, "why you didn't want tc tell mo thut you took Kent to the train that night?" April shrugged. "Hcally, it didn't seem important." "You didn't think it important when you tried to pay off Winkio Appleman?" When April made no answer, Ann went on, "I can't help won dering now if you saw Kent at any other time when 1 was uway." "For goodness sakes," April blustered, "why should 1 have wanted to see Kent Carter when Hal Parks and tho rest of my erstwhile ravahers were rushing me around at the Cusa llluucu and gay places." . Mother Joined them then, ready for a shopping trip downtown. She was so busy fussing with samples of while silks and Htitins that she didn't police anything wrong. But April knew that Ann's suspicions were growing by leaps and bounds. All that Tuesday, April stayed in her room, Nip's wiry head cocked knowingly at her. Nip knew, Winkie Applrman knew. The man at the garage where she had had the chains put on that awful night had openly taunted Jier about going up 'to Uie Carter place. Even Oclavia was nutting two and two together, Yes, it seemed as if all Pattonsvillo va. going to know that April Uurnetl had masqueraded as her sister, and fallen in love with Ann's sweetheart, She pleaded an excuse when Hal called. She sidestepped the family. Best, and most Important, jshe didn't see Kent again. iN Wednesday, Dad cume Into her room and settled hiuiseU for a talk. "I'm awfully sorry about thii mess," April blurted. But Dad wasn't angry. "You're not to worry," he said, "'I he Iv.ir ,ing on Friday will he a pielimi tiaiy one, likely held over until ilalc'r. I'll defrnil you, of eou.se wee you through It.

He came over and patted her shoulder. "I've an idea you've been through more than we real bo. Daffy," he suid. "When I get yuu cleared in tills case and the excitement of the wedding is over, I'm going to make it up to you." "I'm all right," April stam mered. "There's nothing you have to make up to me." "I think woVe lost sight of you in the excitement of Ann's ro mnnce. Seems strange, doesn't it, our little Ann u bride?" "It's wonderful," April said. "I'm very happy for Ann." Dad pursed his lips. "Yes," he began, "it is wonderful, and yet I have u feellns that underneath, something troubles Ann." Did Ann know? Had Ann guessed the whole truth about April and Kent? "What do you mean, Dad?" "More than anything, our Ann hoped to make a success of her voice, i don't think she'll ever quite get over the disappointment o the audition with Vivanu." "All the more reason," April spoke up, "why nothing must spoil her happiness with Kent." M Thursday, Miss Evans, tho seamstress, kept the sewing machine whirring. Octavia closed the kitchen door on tho rich aroma of baking cakes and roasting meals. Florists aurveyed the house for decorations for the wedding. Wedding! Ann and Kent's wed ding on Saturday. Ann herself came and went, humming softly; patient at fittings of 'he b.idal gown; hurrying on innumerable errands. April decided she couldn't stand the strain and suspense any longer. She herself had an errand to ttu an errand that couldn't bo put off any longer. She picked a lime in tho after noun when she could leave the house unnoticed. Her ankle had completely healod, although she was still wabbly, weak from the long inactivity her illness had brought. She took a abort Cut across town, began walking up a familiar road. Her yellow hair blew around her face; her checks slung in the January air, but she kept climb ing, sometimes slowly, sometimes In desperate sort of jog. (To lie Continued) Drain DHAIN, April 16.-Wis.
