THE RUNAWAYS
In Abe car young Hart wu silent
s he giudcd it through the traffic
of the avenue and Carol sstole a
glance at him and the sensed his
rigidity as she sat there beside him.
His fingers, she noticed, long and
strong, were unnaturally clenched
on the steering wheel. She turned
away agin, facing the street. Swift
ly, the roadster spun along the
short time they turned off the main
highway leaving the city behind.
"Where ore you taking me, Juli
an?" Carol asked. There was a
trace of fright in her voice.
"To the place' I know where we
can talk," he answered her evenly.
"Can't we talk here now?"
"You wouldn't listen to me."
said Hart calmly.
"Try me and see," Carol told
him with a little nervous laugh.
"But would you agree with me,
that's the question." he said dryly.
"X dont know," Carol replied.
amiting. "That would depend.
He turned to lok at her. Slim
and graceful she was as she sat
ther beside him and he fought
against the allure of her attract
iveness.
"Carol," he begged, "why are you
doing It pretending to be what
you are not?"
"What do you mean?"
"Pretending to be happy. A round
peg in a square hole," he went on.
"You do love me you told me you
did and I know It anyway. Fate
brought us together so why fight
against what was intended."
Carol moved restlessly.
"Please, Julian." she pleaded.
"don't, I do love you, although I've
tried to deny It to myself. But you
must not say It again, nor mu.it I.
We must save ourselves from a life
time of repentance."
"Oh, Carol, you know you don't
mean that," protested Hart. "Lis
ten to this: 'For this Is wisdom: to
love, to live. To take, what Fate,
or the sods may give ."
The Kirl shook her head tadlv.
"No, Julian," she said. "I have re
sponsibilities to which I am bound.
She siRhed. "We met too late, that's
the whole thing."
A sound very like a groan escaped
him.
"You don't care enough, that's
what It is." he told her gloomily.
"Julian!" she cried the words
sharply. "Oh. how can you say that?
I I would do anything in this
world for you. Anything but de
sert my hasband."
They were miles out of the city
now ana in a lew minutes Hart
had turned the roadster off the
main highway and took a narrow
dirt road that twisted and turned
and finally landed Uiem in a nar
row valley. Dusk would soon be
falling and here In this sheltered
spot where great fir tres shadowed
the valley it already semed dark.
The road narrowed, grew rougher,
harder to rdlve, but the man at the
wheel seemed to know evry inch of
the way.
At lost they drew up In front of
a low rambling house and Hart
pulled the brakes and brought the
car to a Btop before the long ver
anda. He Jumped out and walkked
around to the other side and helped
Carol alight. As he did so a man
opened the door of the house and
waited for them on the threshhold.
A tall, slightly stooped man he was,
with white hair and rugged fea
tures. Hart merely nodded his head to
the man as they entered the great
room where a log fire crackled in a
fireplace at one end. "Show the
lady into the large room." Hart said
brusquely to the man. "I'll be back
In a minute.
Carol was shown Into a bedroom
where a huge four-poster bed which
looked big enough for six occupants

Jutted out and there were heavy
draperies of wine-colored velour on
the high windows. Carol looked at
herself in the mirror of the great
mahogany bureau and she wondered
where she was and what it was all
about. She removed her hat and
smoothed her brown hair, and
took off her heavy fur coat. Ap
plying powder to her nose from
the contents of her vanity case, she
studied her reflection closely. A dis
creet knock at the door caused her
to start nervously.
"Come m, she called.
The door opened slowly and Ju
lian Hart entered the room. He
crossed to her side and took her in
his arms, hungrily, eagerly.
'Carol, he said to her soitiy,
"dear little CaroL I have you to my
self at last." 4
The girl responded to his caresses
timidly at first, and then their lips
met In a long kiss.
"I brought you here, darling,"
Hart tlod her at last, "so that you
could listen to me away from that
other environment that influences
you against your will. Here you will
have to listen to me.
She did not answer.
"We vill have something to eat
nownow, continued Hart, "and then
we will see what we are goin to do
about all this. Remember," he told
her, laying a hand on her cheeck,
"you're in my power now."
She laughed shyly up at him.
"You can't frighten me," she
said. ;
The tall stooped man whom Hart
addressed as Bill, served them
broiled steak and hot biscuits in
front of the big living room fire
place. They laughed and chatted
guyly and Carol was entirely at her
case In these strange surroundings.
She loved the boyishness of the man
who sat beside her and she felt a
warm glow inside her when the
thought came to her that this man
loved her and she felt deliriously
hannv and exultant.
On a sofa before the crackling
logs Hart held her close as he
whispered in her ear.
"What would you say if I told
you we were not going back to
night?" Carol stared at her companion,
failing to understand him at first.
"I don't quite know what you
mean, Julian, she said to him.
He looked at her anc'. laughed.
Masterfully he took posessiui of
both her hands and held them pris
oner. "Just what I said. Carol," he- re
plied easily. "We'll stay here tonight
and tomorrow we'll keep on in the
car to to Canada. If you will re
fuse to tell Sumner about our love,
we'll go without telling him." He
watched her closely. "Think, Carol.
Just we two together driving on and
on into happiness. I can take care
of you, don t worry."
"Ah!" Interposed Carol, with
sharp little breath, "fo that's why
you bruugnt me nere.
He had the grace to color.
"Yes. CaroL I took that chance,
hoping I might persuade you." He
tilted her face upward and closed
her parted lips with a kiss.
She lay passive in his arms and
she knew her resolutions were slip
ping from her at the youths plead
ings. She wanted so much to give
in to go witn him ana sne piayea
with the Idea, the glorious, temp
ting opportunity for happiness Ho
mance Her hand ci ept to the crook
of his arm. She was no longer
afraid.
"Julian," she said at last, "I want
to do what you ask more than any
thing in the world. A moment ago
I was ready to say 'yes.' ' She re
leased herself from his embroce
and sat up straight looking at him
thoughtfully. "But the only way
I'd do it, Julian, would be decently
and honorably."
