"be ginning with the day you quar reled with that man. would you ' live it differently? I mean, would you go to him, make up with him, and lay you'd marry him?" "You want the truth the abso lute truth?" said Aunt Oorcas. "I certainly do. I won't be sat Ufled with anything leu than the absolute truth." 'Then here It Is. If I had my life to live over again, I'd marry that man to quickly he wouldn t know what had happened!" Aunt Dorcas caught her breath. "I'd never even look at a lion or a bear and the only digging I'd do Is the digging necessary to prove my love, so merer "Thank vou. Aunt Dorcas." "Well, what are you going to do about it?" "You'U know tomorrow when t get back to New York." "Lavinia Prentiss, don't you tare keep me In suspense!" said Aunt Dorras. "Suspense is good for one," said Lavinia. "Good-bye, Aunt Dor cas." She went out to the porch, and stood looking down at Rod. She thought of him as he must have been in Dunkirk She remem bered how he had looked at Har bor Head. She moved toward him. He heard her, and turned. He got up. "Nothing wrong, I hope," be aid. "No," said Lavinia. "Every, thing's lovely." "For you, maybe," said Rod. "But not for me. I suppose you told your aunt you were going back to Armworth'a." Lavinia shook her head. "No, I ttidn't, Hod." "Well, what next?" said Rod. "Why dont you ask me to marry rou: saia Lavinia. !'..- u -.1. ; .. J..IIHI. i "Well, do it Main. I Ilka hear. tow it" T'But I don't like hearing you say 'no . "Try me once more." "Lavinia, will you marry me?" "Yes, Rod, darling." "Good lord, do you mean It?" "Of course I mean It," said La vinia. "I never joke about serious matters." Rod caught her to him. "Dear estdearest," he said, his lips gainst her cheek. "You have Aunt Dorcas to thank," Lavinia said. "How do you mean?" "Aunt Dorcas has always been the biggest influence in my life." Lavinia smiled: she held Rod off and looked at him. "I've always wanted to be just like her. And now I'm being just like she'd like to be." "Doesn't make sense," said Rod, "as you tell it." "Of course It doesn't," said La vinia. "But one shouldn't be sen sible when one's in love or should one?" "No," said Rod. "One should be happy and nothing more." Lavinia snuggled against him. "When one is in love well, one lust doesn't think." How long ago it seemed that Zoe had said those words. And now here she sCood In Hull, Connecticut, knowing that Zoe had spoken the truth. "Rod." "Yes. Lavinia." "Do you mind very much get ting married in the Little Church Around the Corner?" "Certainly not if that's what you wish." "I don't care so much for my self," said Lavinia. "But vou see Aunt Dorcas just loves a church wedding." Rod laughed. "God bless Aunt Dorcas," he said. "And one more thing. Rod." "Yes. darling." "Do you like bears?" "Bcsrs? What sort of bears?" "I mean bears in the shape of rugs fur rugs." sOf course I like them. Why?" ' "Because I'd like to take a bear skin rug out to Michigan with us. It's the skin off a bear my Aunt Dorcas shot." "Take It by all means," said Rod. "Thanks, darling " Lavinia sighed. "It will serve as a sort of of link between my life with you and the life I might have lived in a jungle." "You blessed little Idiot!" said Rod. And then: "Did Aunt Dor cas really shoot the bear?" "She did," said Lavinia. "And then what do you suppose she did?" "Shot another one." "No, Rod, she fainted." "Now, listen Lavinia," said Rod, "you can't convince me that Aunt Dorcas did a thing like that." "All right, have It your way, darling." Lavinia lifted her face. "Let's forget Aunt Dorcas and her bears for a moment while you kiss me again." The End 3 Americans, 3 Japs Indicted Oa Chargt Of Failing Register Washington, Jan. 29.

Luion, in 1879, took up the study of law at the University of Santo Tomas in 1898. He would probably have continued except that a native revolution against Spain broke out that year. Santo Tomas was founded by the Dominicans early in the 17th century, and was declared a royal university in 1645. Until the present war it still existed the oldest university under the stars and stripes.
