Chapter 10 RUNAWAY TWERE warn serersl noteworthy featnrca about the town of Car teret. First, of course, wis the way In which the town had held Its rustic Integrity against the onslaught! of state highways. Then there was that statue Is the square noteworthy because rery few. towns had their own private heroes; usually there was a statue of a Civil War soldier; or a Minute Man, or a World War reteran, that symbolised Heroism as a whole. And again, a person sensitive to those, things might be able to asslml' late the spirit of bugle calls, march' log men, families burying their all' rer In mint beds as the guns of the Invader drew near, and snowy-polled slaves leadinr fine saddle-horses up to porticos of an early morning all those things, in short, that exuded from the fine old houses and colonial gardens In and around the town. Conceivable, Indeed, that a person might come here on Impulse and re main to think, to wonder, to dream and forget for the moment an out side world that seemed to be going around In circles. It had been Impulse that started Allaire oft that night the Impulse of a girl who couldn't possibly have sat at one of her mauler's lengthy state dinners like the torpid Trigger Fish of the Arundel Bar. Not that she lrnew where she was going, but she wanted to be on her way with the hum of a powerful mo tor at the top of her shoe and the rush of wind past her ea.'s. It wasn't until she hsd worn off the first edge of her speed tbat she had her Idea. Drop over to Carteret sometime. he had Invited Ironically, and take a look at a new marker In the church yard. It said something about, "The itorm Is over now." In the swift flow of anger he had Intimated that her evening on the locks bad an association with a new marker In a Virginia churchyard Feminine curiosity did the trick; be turned her wheol for Carteret md the neit morning ahe had In- restlgated markers under the kindly tulde of an old minister who Intro- luced himself as Dootor Ross. He waa a venerable, kindly man rlth fsded blue eyes behind plnce-lea. "The storm Is over now. The stars ire out and the night wind Is fresh ud tweet." Lawrence WIllettT "Lawrence WIllettT" she repeated. Was be Terry's father?" The minister looked at her with nidden Interest; Terence Wllleti mocking around footloose would wem to have made the acquaintance if a very attractive girl. "Yes," he said. "He died 'recently f fever down In South America irhere be waa working on an engl leerlng project. Terence brought llm back home." "It was bis father then," she nuir- cured. "I don't understand, but J wish I'd known." '11,'HYr asked old Doctor Ross ' ' curiously, watching this grand ly alive young person aa she stood among those who had departed. "Terry came to see me. I wasn't very nice to him. Doctor Ross." I'm sorry to hear that," be said gravely, "Terence needed sympathy when he loft here. Not routine words but stimulating and Inspiring under standing. He loved his father and yet he foil thnt he had been a failure as, a son. Why, I don't know." She was silent for a moment. She still didn't see how she was asso ciated with the death of Terrv's father. "Wouldn't you care to tell me about It?" he Invited gontly. "Como en up to the house snd tell me about Trry." For some strange reason she felt she would like to tell his gentle old man all about It. She had an uneasy feeling that she had made one ot those silly, Inane gestures she de tested, so she accompanied htm up on the wide shsdy verandah of a houie gnarled with Ivy and latticed with honeysuckle. He waited In silence for her to make up her mind and Anally she de cided and Impulsively told him ol her meeting with Terry Willett and the quick, breathless evening that had followed. 'After that- Chore Isn't much to tell, Doctor Ross. I well, I'd been looking for somebody like Terry WW lett a long, long time. A strong man going some place and not afraid ol anything on earth. And 1 would have flung myaelf at him. I really think" ahe flushed deeply, "if he'd given me the chance. He walked out on ma without a word, without a thought, Just ambled on as though his Ufa was nothing much and the people who preserved It-came a dime doten. It Isn't the beet of saving his life," she said earnestly. "I mean I don't want to be crowned a little tin hero ine; But I knew he waa trying to do something and I felt as though I'd had a hand In helping him. My father once made a satlrlo remark about s pioneer woman shooting at Indians from a covered Wagon. He thought It funny, but It wasn't funny It was true. I did want to feel that". She stopped and laughed with era barrassment. "Heavens, 1 musl sound like an Idiot. ' Doctor Ross you're a dangeroua person. I nevet talked like that to anyone before Is my life. Excuse It, please." She Jumped up, but he put a with ered hand on her young arm. . Don't go, my dear. I know what'i wrong. You are In love with Terry Willett and you won't admit It." SHE almost gasped. "Whv. Doctor Ross I Please. lan't that Just a little bit (a r-f etched 1 It would make a very romantic dims norol in an Ink-blotched magazine, but It's not ao." "Well," his features crinkled Inte a smile, "1 don't see why it shouldn't be. I think Terry could make somt woman very happy. I like tbat young man Immensely. Don't yon really like him too, my dear? Just a little, porhaps?" . "But" , "But what?" he asked, as she fell silent. Allaire uttered a little sigh. "Oh you're right, I'm afraid. And bate to admit It. I've fought against It, but i wanted to see him again and when he came 1 sent him away Everything's ruined and lost anc1 soiled," she exclaimed passionately I'm so darned tired of all this." He shook his bend. "Why Is everything ruined anil lost and soiled?" "Oh, It Just Is. I'd never get thai same feeling as when I saw him foi the first time. And he he probably bates me. So there you are. and I've wasted enough ot your time bloating like a stricken high school sophomore." But ahe didn't rise even though she seemed as though ahe were about to do that very thing. She eat where she waa and knit slim dark brows In deep thought. Clearly, my lady waa a bit dlstui-oed. I don't believe," the minister said thoughtfully, "that Terry would evei deliberately disappoint anyone. Per hapa you never thought he mlgbi ave something to say." "1 know he didn't say anything, she said flatly. "And I don't want tt be In love with a person who's a dls appointment," 'Perhaps," Doctor Rosa comment ad gently, "tbat Is why Queen Eliza belli never married." Allaire's head came up with I start. You talk like everybody else," shi said regretfully. "I'm suooty? 1'n not. Can't a woman have Ideals?' "Can't a man?" he returned oven , and held up a quick hand. "Pleasi do not mistake me. I think you an very line person and you are tryini to be sincere with yourself. Pride li priceless thing to have If held with In bounds, but lunrdlnance can bllnt nd defeat. Men like Willett don'i nswer whistles, my child. Whj don't you And him?" Hor Hps parted In amatument. "Chase after him, you mean?" shi was close to being wrathful. "Thlnga worth having are wortl ursulng, but Terry would nevei now be wss being pursued. One ol the arte ot women la to pursue tht man she wanta and all the whlls make him think he's pursuing her." He chuckled drily. "Your hallowed white hairs, Doe tor Itoss," she said severely, "con ceal a schemer's brain, fear. -Sc you think 1 am all wrong 'and ought to be ashamed of myself?" "No. I say you want Terry Wllleti and therefore you should go aftei him." "Never," she declared. "Not In a million years." (CeiHirtoht. IJI by Dot-Id OorfM Allaire Inpicts a house, tomer. row.

In 1814 Dozsa, who won some reputation as a soldier In the Turk ish wara went from Rome to Hun gary to organize a crusade against the Turks. The only volunteers he waa able to get were the oppressed peasauta. When land-lords ordered them back to their estates to har vest the crops, the peasanta re fused. The landlords retaliated by maltreating their wives and fami lies. This touched off the revolution I which soon became a peasant war against landholders. Unspeakable crueltlea were practiced on both aides, and hundreds of nobles were executed In barbarism, their homes burned, and Jam i lies killed. The situation became so serious that mercenaries were hired from Venice and Bohemia and other places to put down the revolt. When the peasants were within five miles of the capital the - tide turned.
