Maybe she had stayed in the sun too long that day. Mayb she bad a touch oi sun-stroke. "Lavinia darling!" Bod cried. "Oh," laid Lavinia. "It's you." Just like that motivated by perverseness ahe herself couldn't understand. Rod wai beside her. She wu in his arms. He wai holding her close. She thought: "He can't do this to me. He can't tell me to (or. get he took me in till arms and kissed me, and then come and take me in hii arms again. Who does he U.lnk I am?" - Then suddenly, almost roughly, the (reed herself. "Am 1 supposed to forget that also?" she said. "Lavinla please "I was expecting my aunt any way," Lavinia rushed on. "Sh sent roe In her place," Rod laid. "You mean you'v met herT" "Yes, we came down from Har bor Head together." "She went there!" "Sh wanted to know what made rou leave so suddenly." . "And I suppose vou told her." "I did," said Rod. "I told her everything. And now I've come to take you back to New York. We're going to be married right away, darling, and then" "Oh. we are. an wel" Lavinla flared. "Just like that! it seems to me you're taking an awful lot for granted." "Please. Lavinla. don't Uke that tone," Rod begged. "I can explain verything. Juit give me a chance." All of a Hidden Lavinla was angry, unreasonably angry. She had an unexplainable desire to hurt Rod, to make him suffer remembering how he had hurt and humiliated her. "If you think you cai walk out on me," ihe said, "and then barge right back into my life, expecting me to to welcome you with open arms, you're badly mis taken." She looked wildly about until she located the driver. "Andvl" ah called. "Yes. Misi Prentiss." Andy came bustling up. - "My aunt'a not coming," Lavi nla said. "So w can go back to uie larm now. "Yes'm." Andy eyed Rod. "Is this her gentleman going out to the farm too?" "I'm sure I dont know," said Lavinia. "Of course 1 am," said Rod. "Will you pleas put that bag in the car?" "It ain't ear," said Andy. "It's station wagon. The three of them went around back of the depot and got Into the wagon. Andy drove off. Lavinia sat staring straight ahead of her, and Rod, sitting beside her, ad mired her profile. "It's only fair that you five m an opportunity to explain," he aald softlv. "Nobody's stopping you," laid Lavinia. "All right, Lavinla You see, I- "But I hardly think Andy want to hear the explanation." "Oh said Rod. "Well, Ml keep." "And you'll have more time to think up new angles," said Lavi nia. - "I don't need any time for that," Rod said. "Bjt I suppose it would b better to talk after w get to the farm. It's a long story, and" "And you're probably stuck with it," aaid Lavinia. 1 Wa Crar ROD laughed, not very mirth fully. "No, I'm not, ' he said. "But I have been carrying It around with me waiting to tell It to you . . ." 'Really?" "I rushed back from Boston to tell you all that was In my heart, Lavinia, but you'd gone." "So you want me to think you . went to Boston?" "I did g to Boston." "In that battered boat of yours?" "No, I let a fisherman friend have that for a few days." "Oh!" said Lavinla, Her Inter est wai aroused. "When I got back from Boston is when I met your aunt" said Rod. "Say. Aunt Dorcas is a peach!" "So you're calling her that," aid Lavinia. "My. but you do have a way with in ladies, don't you?" "All right all rlghf said Rod. "Be angry. But maybe you'll feel differently when you hear what I told her. I had to tell someone, darling, and so Aunt Dorcas lis tened. "And believed, I suppose," said Lavinia. "Yes. Lavinla." laid Rod, "sh believed. And 1 pray God you'll do the same." When they reached the farm, and as soon as Rod had made ar rangements for staving overnight taking the room Mr Stone had re served for Miss Dorcas, he Joined Lavinia on the porch. "I'm ready," he said. Ready for what?" said Lavinia. ulrf Ro "U rU mf ,l017'" "Very well," said Lavinla. "Let 'i walk down to that old arbor. It's a good place to talk."

Lavinia ignored the compliment "Here's the arbor," ihe said, and walked In. Rod sat down beside her. Pres ently he was pouring out to her all tnat ne naa tola Aunt uorcas. Lavinia hardened herself at first but when she let herself picture the Horrors of Dunkirk, when she let herself set Rod in the midst of those horrors, her hardness less ened. However, she said nothing. She lust let Rod talk. "And that" said Rod. "ll my story the one vou said I waa probably stuck with." "I'm lorry," laid Lavinla, "I wai rude cruel "You had a right to be," said Rod "No! No!" Lavinla 'i eyes wer wide, her heart beating wildly. "1 had no idea it it was like that with vou, Rodi" "And you don't think If a tort of fairy-tale 1 made up?" "Of course not!" said Lavinla. "But Rod, why didn't you tell m before?" "I tried to 'explain why lust now," Rod said. "You see. darling, I wai afraid you might feel you hould make a sacrifice and take care of me. 1 mean. I had the feel ing that vou were oeginning to care (or nre, and that if I told you the story I've iust told you, vou'd Insist that 1 needed rou and and oh, you do understand, dont you?" "Yes," said Lavinla. "I think I do." She was silent for a moment "But that was a crue thing to do to me leavine me so abruptly. It's something 1 find hard to for get and forgive.' "1 know.'r said Rod. "I realize that now. But the moment 1 got the doctor's verdict, and the newi that I am to have a good lob, 1 hurried to you " He tried to take Lavinia'a hand, but she pulled It away.

"I I can't seem to make up my mind." "Ohl" said Rod suddenly. "Fred dy Rand! Is he up here? "Good heavens, no!" laid Lavi nla. "What ever gave you that Idea?" 'Thank God.' laid Rod fervent ly. "We heard he'd cone away (or a (ew days, Aunt Dorca and I. We were afraid ne was here wiui you that you'd eloped " "No one knew 1 was here." said Lavinia. "I decided to come while I waa in a taxicab on my way to the apartment. So I told the drivei to turn right around and take me back to the station." She looked al Rod. "I suppose you did some de tective work to find me. you and Aunt Dorcas." "Your friend Zoe gave us a clue," said Rod.- 'You've met her tool" Lavinla gasped. "My, but you do get around, don t vout ' "Zoe remembered how vou liked to come ud here to Hull." Rod went on. "So we all out two and two together and here I am." Yes, n re you are, said Lavi nla.
