"You would think of "our car before you cculd think of anyth leg as precious as lives, you , . . you . . . you person!" "Anne, Anne, quiet, girl." Rob caught the hands which struck wildly at the livid face ot Charlotte, "Quiet, she didn't mean It that way. She meant ycur father wasn't accus tomed to that new model; maybe be drove too fast and the motor froze, that happens In aew cars. Maybe the steering gear was stiff and didn't respond on the sharp turn." ANNE stared at Mm mutely. Why hadn't she gone with them? "Well, arent you going to cry?" demanded Sharlee Indignantly.
