Chapter 21
RUNAWAY
A LISON had already discovered
that her advice was not needed;
ft murmurous approval of whatever
Daphne suggested met the case.
. "Excuse me, miss but there's a
gentleman downstairs to see you.1
The butler stood In the doorway.
"Did he give you bis card?" asked
Daphne.
"No, madam. He didn't give any
name."
"I'll go down and see." Alison was
loklng nervously at Daphne, hoping
against hope. It only she could get
downstairs alone, see him (or a mo
ment, explain!
But Daphne had already Sung
down her armful of stuffs; she had
ber handbag open and was adding
a fresh layer of vivid scarlet to her
morning mouth.
For a moment the girl hovered,
hesitating.
"D'you mind If I go down?"
Daphne, between open lips, an
swered. No, run on. Ill be down
In a minute."
Thank Heaven! Alison could have
taugbed aloud In sheer relief. She
darted down the stairs,' Into the
drawing room.
Ouy was there, waiting for her;
the moment that she looked at him
all her doubts dissolved. He'd un
derstand!
"Have you got your car outside?"
8ha spoke low and hurriedly.
"Yes. What's up?"
"I'll tell you when we get out
line.
He followed her obediently out;
halfway down the front stairs asked,
"I say, don't you want a bat?"
"I daren't go up!" Alison con
fessed. "I'll stop and buy one."
They stole like two schoolchildren
playing truant through the hall. Guy
was laughing silently, Alison met
bis eye and had to put her own band
against ber mouth to stop herself
from laughing aloud. She felt Idiot).
eally Ughthearted, absurdly happy
and excited; a mad soiullon but the
only possible one!
And be played up so wondorfully,
matching her mood, asking no more
questions until they were In the car
and aafely off.
, "What's the game?"
"I'll tell you, but stop first at the
corner. There's a hat shop there!"
The hat shop produced a beret of
not too bright a blue to match All-
son's coat and skirt, and, since she
was known to them, put It down,
From the shop, she telephoned to
Perter, always discreet, and left a
message for her father to say that
he had forgotten, she must lunch
out, she would be back In time to
f o out with Daphne at half past two.
CONSCIENCE assuaged, she ran
back to the car.
"I say, that hat's a wow! I didn't
know that a girl could buy a hat In
less than ten minutes! Do tell me
though what'a happened? Nothing
wrong, la there?" ho asked.
"Not much! Nothing except I've
shocked my stepmother to glory
and aha thinks you must be the
deepest kind of crook!"
"She thinks I'm a crook? Good
Lord, what've I done?" To her sur
prise he sounded less amused than
anxious.
"She thinks you ought to have
alept In the road In the rain!"
Ha laughed, the Joyous laugh that
pleased her so well.
"Sorry! I never thought of It or
I'd have swum to Warloy!"
"And left little Horbort to do any
bag-snatching he fancied." added
Alison gaily. "Well, I'm glad you
didn't anyway. I'd have been scared
to death. But If you meet her, go
gentle with her, please."
'I'll be gentle as a lamb," he prom
ised solemnly. "If 1 have an Irre
sistible Impulse to plncb tho ellvor
r do a spot of forgory, I'll hold It
ternly In check. I want to meet her.
Is she one of those dear woolly old
ladles who filled up with Ideas In
1914 and haven't hod the oil-tank
emptied since?"
"Good Lord, no!" The Idea tickled
Alison. "Just the opposite. Hard aa
nails."
"Oh, that type!" He sounded aa
If he knew It well and liked It very
little.
Alison ended breathlessly, "Well,
anyway, I haven't dared to tell her
that I'd asked you to lunch, so I
wondered If you'd mlu-i having
lunch with Just me?" .&
"I'd love It!" v
"Good."
"Where shall we go? The same
place?"
"Yes. I'd love to. But you must
lunch with me, this time," she In
sisted. "Sorry!"
"You must!"
He ran the car alongside the pave
ment and stopped.
"What's the matter?" she asked,
surprised.
"I'm going to drop you here and
go home and sulk unless you lunch
with me!"
He looked so absurd as be said It
that she had to laugh and give way.
"And then you call me young!"
Bhe accused.
They laughed and for a moment
he waa occupied, turning out of
Constitution Hill Into the main
stream of traffic along Piccadilly.
When he spoke again, it was In a
different tone.
"You've met your stepmother,
then. How do you like her?"
"Oh, all right," Alison replied
carefully.
"That's good. You were rather
dreading the ueetlng, weren't you?"
"How did you guess?"
"I don't know. You gave me that
Impression."
"It was true." She admitted It In
a low voice.
"OUT now you've seen her It's all
U right?" The trafllo had stopped
for a moment; he had leisure to
look round. Alison did not answer
and he read her silence correctly.
"I see. Rotten luck for you!"
"I expect I'll get used to It," sbe
said quickly. "It's only that It's
funny at first I mean, having a
third person there and the house
being hers and not mine and so on."
"You think It'll come off?"
"My father's marriage?"
He nodded.
"I'm sure It will. He's awfully
fond of her." It was difficult to keep
that noncommittal.
He said quietly, "A pity. If she's
not the right kind. You know, I took
a great fancy to your father. He
struck me as being rather a top
per.
"He's a darling!" Praise of her
father could always win Alison.
"You know, the funny part of It is,
he took a fancy to you, too."
"Thank you!"
"You know I didn't mean that!"
"I know perfectly well what yon
mean. Liking Is generally mutual.
You're sure he liked me?"
"I know he did. He was going ta
ask you to lunch today, If she hadn't
stepped In."
"She? You mean your step
mother?" He was driving again now
and did not look at Alison.
'Yes. As 1 say, she seomed con
vinced you were a crook!"
He snld thoughtfully. "I wonder
whnt put that Idea Into her head?"
Apparently, our having break
fast together!"
A little hard! Even the honest
must eat!"
"That's what's so silly." Alison
was breathless. "She seemed to
think it sort of settled things al
though she's not a bit that kind of
person herself, I'm sure."
"Ynu mean not prudish?"
"I should think anything but
prudish?"
Funny!"
'Isn't It? Particularly as In this
case It's ber own fault!"
"Whnt Is?"
"Our meeting!"
He braked with such suddenness
that Alison was flung forward: he
seemed unconscious of the tact; un
conscious, too, that be was holding
up the traffic.
"She? Responsible for our meet
lug? What d'you mean?"
"It was Daphne who mixed up the
telegrams and sent me down to that
house!"
"Look here, sir, you can't do thlsl"
An angry-looking policeman stuck
his head Into the window, saw All
son and added, "If you want to talk
to your lady-frlonds, go down a aide
treet and park! Don't hold up all
the other trnfflc."
Go to " began Guy hotly, then
checked himself. "Oh, all right, con
stable. Sorry." He trod hnrd on the
accelerator and shot off but they
were In the restaurant, had found
the same corner table, before he
spoke of It again.
"Tell me, why did you Bay your
stepmother sent you to that house?
How could she mix the telezrama?"

forging ahead five times more rapidly
than all types of foreign travel.
In addition, the division reported,
the number of care shipped abroad
so far thta year was 60 per cent great
er than In the corresponding period
last year and prospects for the coming
travel season "are extremely favor
able." It was pointed out that the number
of cars transported to foreign coun
tries In 1934 Increased 25 per cent,
compared with an Increase of five per
cent In total foreign travel.
Continued low transportation costs
and Introduction of new vessels on
ocean lane capable of carrying hun
dreds of cars Indicate that 1935 will
be a banner year for foreign motor
travel, the division said.
Between 70 and 75 per cent of all
cars shipped abroad last year were
of the medium and low price class,
"proving that vacationing abroad un
der one's own power Is no longer a
luxury to be enjoyed only by tho rich,
but Is now within reach of the aver
age pocketbook," the AAA branch
said.
The Foreign Travel division said 41
makes of automobiles from 43 states
were shipped by the AAA to 52 ports
of debarkation In Europe, Asia and
Africa. New York led tn the number
of cars ahlpped, followed in order by
New Jersey, - Massachusetts, Illinois,
Ohio and the District of Columbia.

DAINTY DOROTHY'S DOOR
IN ZOO HOME TOO TINY
OAKLAND. Cal., June 6. (Up) It
was strange, thought the Oakland
zoo attendants, that their dainty
Dorothy, their only elephane, refused
to enter the private bungalow erected
for her In her section of the zoo.
Yesterday a spectator sized up Doro
thy, looked at the bungalow, and con
ferred with the attendants. Carpen
ters broaden, the bungalow en
trance six feet and dainty Dorothy
moved into her boudoir last night.
AGAIN ON
E
DALLAS, Texas (UP) America's
vast army of migratory, homeless
boys is again on the move, accord
ing to O. A.' atewart, supervisor at
the Texas transient bureau.
Each day since spring's sunshiny
days have given promise of warm
summer months which will follow
soon, the number of boys haa In
creased. Now there Is an averse ol
about 40 boys reporting at the bu
reau daily, Stewart said.
The boys have developed a peculiar
outlook on life, according to Stewart.
Their movements have become point
less, they wander from bureau to
bureau and register each night with
the same lack of embarrassment that
a citizen would feel In registering
at a hotel.
"Seldom do the boys stay In one
locality more than two or three
days," Stewart said. "Their one aim
is apparently to reach the next town,
and then the next and the next in
a never-ending circuit."
Most of the boys never have gradu
ated from grammar schools and few
have attended high schools. They
talk not about Jobs and settling
down, but about the transient bu
reau in the city ahead.
Does it have good food ? Clean
beds? Do they provide shoes or other
clothing?
