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.

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."

started what he thought waa going
to be a cmaade against the Turks,
but It turned out to be a Hun
garian revolution which ended In
disaster tor the followers of Dozsa
ii nd In a terrible death for him
self. 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. Their
army was scattered and Dozsa was
ruptured. The leader was executed i
