FLIGHT AGAIN rR father alwaya bad been ablt to do that distort things wltii oolite sarcaenj. Made them appear illy and ralueiess and theatrical. Allaire said nothing. He picked up tile tumbler and eat back, rlewlng her keenly- - "1 euppoae tale new-found ambi tion haa eometblng to do with your turning up you, little noie at Stere Perry. Well, you'd belter think again. We're going broke and If real aetata raluea and market eecurltlea don't pick up there won't be an awful lot In the old eock for you. "What'e the matter with Steve? Juit becauee he probably wouldn't be caught dead In a covered wagon." "Aside from the fact that I don't love Steve," abe eald tranquilly, "that haa a loi to do with It. Marry ing Steve would be a nice eaey way for ua both to go to hell. I've aeen what happena to these marrlagea made In heaven. "Look at you and Mell. Your mar riage wasn't founded on anything but society headlines. Vou wen ' best of your respective crops 1 that was all you brought each oi-.er "And In those dayi while I was being abuttleJ back and forth be tween you for all months of every year, 1 made up my mind I'd never marry unless 1 was certain my mar riage was going to last. Oh. 1 thought 1 was in love several times, but tbero was never much of a glow about it." "Value yourself pretty highly, don't you, AllalreJ" She nodded untroubled!;. "Plenty, Ray." "Proud aa Juno," he commented. "And now you wait for the glowt Tou'll wait a long time." She looked past him, smiling to herself. "I've had It. The glow of rivera to cross, and battles to win, and some thing to accomplish in life" . He paused with bis drink near his lips. , "You mean you tell In love with souiobody?" Wo!" she said with ewttt surpris ins Uercenesa. "1 didn't say that." In the sllenct that followed this brief outburst her mouth teemed to curve In something like angry acorn, and her fatber watched her, touch ing off bin drink wltb quick short Hps. "I have an Idea," be said Anally, "your pride went for a slight bump. Something got under yonr skin. Don't tell ma somebody snubbed the queen at the tourney." "Put It any way you like," she said with a return of her usual calm. "1 learned something and I'm still fancy free." "I think,'' Rayburne West said de cisively, "that you are going to end up with a mouthful of fog. You're too hard to please. You want mon to eross rivers and fight battlea and you won't find any who will. You're beautiful, my dear, and 7ou'll al ways get a play from men, but life's too short to sweat." HHJ NODDtiD to her and refilled bis tumbler from tbt decanter. Allaire watched him as though be waa a fairly capable amateur ma gician. He sot his tumbler down tmpty, pulled loose bis ires? tie, and opened bla collar. "Pardon me." he said. "Feel that last one." Allaire wouldn't let him shake her. She knew what she wanted, bad known ever since her return from 8outh America. A sense of breathless tingling lite that she'd seen that night In the Le gation Club gardens when a tall young man came striding down a garden path and Ueorge l'"o got set to wave the lamp of reason. That tall young man bad run out on ber, ruined an Ideal: j victorious Invader who with the cattle ready to aurrender had blown a tin bugle and ,'ldueu away, and she defeated hlra for It. Yet ehe had teen enough of the real underlying raluet of life thai night to have made her eilstence luce teem .Ike a rldt on a tinsel bedecked merry-go-round.

She felt ebe bad to get away. "1 can't do anything about Itr she repeated. "I can do a great deal and I will." Her voice softened. "Snap out of It before you're licked Take It easy for a while." She atood up, drawing on ber driv ing glovee. "Where tbe devil ara you going V ber father asked, etar'ng. "Back to Washington. Another shuttle trip. Nell may be played for a eucker by every art dealer eatt of tut Mleslsslppl and dirt wltb half tbe stuffed eblrta of Christendom, but Ueorge Pox Is due on leave soon and I want to be there. He reminds me of things. 1 Just wanted to say hello to you on my birthday." She drew ber coat about her and turned toward the door. "To Eleanor West's for cocktails!" she proclaimed. "The war cry of half of Washington every afternoon at half-past four." Wltb a Jaunty wave ot her hand she took ber leave. A moment later her car roared back down the drive. Happy Birthday! Rayburne West Angered the brandy decanter and felt Irritated wltb her partly because he was los ing her to Nell and partly because he bad never been able to tone down ber speed. He had always beeo a little afraid ot bis daughter. She had a etronge capacity for anger and action that gave him pause maae aim mum. And tbe more he tnougnt oi ner, mo more artificial and Jaded Tala ap peared, and tbe older be felt. Old Age! He stumbled over to the mirror and stared at hla reflection. Licked! He euddenly felt elck of this place. Change of scene, that waa a. Change of scene. Go up to New York and stay at one of hla cluba for a while until be felt better. He mustn't get old anything but that Before be went to bed he leu worn to have arrangemenla made to have bis private car "Debutante II" picked up by tbe Old Dominion, cracs train northbound for wnsmngion and New York. TUB town of Carterot was more than Juat distance removed from revolution and Jungle, gunrunners, merciless sun and yellow river. It waa on another plane of existence entirely ond the engineer didn't live who could bu lid the Bridge of Transi tion. Nettling In the heart of a blu grass region of hunt clubs, raclug stables, and fine old Colonial estates, It seemed forover porvaded with tbe caress of Virginia sky and old gar dena redolent of lilac, mimosa, and ancient rose. And on days ot the Virginia Hunt or Apple ' Blossom carnival tbt sleepy old town became a eporta man's Mecca. Fasblunnble society flowed through tbe wide tree "haded streets In shining motors, gay tally hos, and brightly bedecked wagons. Another world? yea, verily. A world of silken racing colors, velvety-nosed thoroughbreds, men and women riding to bounds, fast little ponies ohaslng a polo hall on wide level greensward. The tradition of .the town was symbolized by a bronze statue of t Revolutionary patriot In the historic square. It perpetuated the memory of a tall young officer who had on that spot recruited one of the llrat companies or Virginia volunteers. The officer's name waa Captain Rodea Wlllett, should anybody have been Interested. For example, Terry Wlllett in town to bring bis rather back to the beginning or the trait dldu't give a bang for all tbe statues on the fact of tbe earth. The kindly and patriarchal Cap teret divine was Interested by tbe paradox ot an unsmiling young man who asked nothing, yet. aa sure as the world was made, wnnted some thing that he probably could not have denned himself. So Interested. In fact, that at tbe young man started down the walk from the white ehurch be hastened after him and laid a band on bit shoulder. "What are you going to do now, my son!" "I don't know, Sir. Join thi navy." he grinned briefly, "and lei tbe world maybe." "Man you no ideas In mlnilt Your career?" "I'll carry on." said Wlllett. A warm soft breete blew acoaa bit race at be stood bareheaded by the entrance to the cnurchyard. "It's s stinking life, but I'll carry on."
