I It wax an answer that said noth- tog but promised much in the; manner of. all sweetnearts. 'What mattered now was that the was tearing down the hill, escaping from what had been the strangest situation she'd ever known. The wintry air smeLled good, free! Kent Carter, temporarily blind ed, bad taken her for Ann, the sis ter with whom he was In love. Ann was away, but she'd be back tomorrow tt April had to turn the world upside down to get her. She wasn't doing this for Kent. Kot at all. Ehe was doing It for Ann. Glitterbug. indeed! Kent Car ter would eat those words some day. Then she shrugged. What) dinerence did it make what hei called her e was nothing to) her. i Octavta was waiting, ho eringi In a way that made April alert., "How come you take so long,, Miss April?'' Octavla asked. "Dat train was on time 'cause Ah heard: her tooting same's usual. You! meet Mister Carter okay and gives him the message?' i "Mister Carter Is safely at home In the arms of Auntie," April an-l wered, "And if you wonder why! I'm lata, you should take yourselfj downtown to see the traffic jam! caused by the free barbecue inj the bandstand square." 1 "Free barbecue?" Octavla was! thrown at once off the scent, or! rather thrown on it The scent of! ham and pork roasting on a spittle.: Knowing she must get Oetavia i cut of the house at all costs and: at once, April went on. "You bet ter join the Jamboree, Oetavia., There won't be a hambone left in' another hour." . i "Sure 'nuf?" Octavla's eyesi rolled and her voice rolled, too.i until she remembered that she had' to be on duty while her "folks"! were off camping. She said as! much to Miss April. j "Just as long as you're homei in time for breakfast," April said.l "you can go your merry way with I my blessing." j ! IVmiEN the house was quiet at! I last, all the flippancy vanished! from ApriL It was 9 o'clock. . fWithin the next half hour the! three handsome swains who werei taking her to Casa Blanca would : be ringing the bell. She must hurry to reach Ann by long dis-' tance, to make the homecoming arrangements, and then to figure: some way out of tonight's datei with Kent Carter to which she had! committed herself. In the dimly lighted hall where the telephone table stood, April looked up at the small oil portrait ,of Ann. An artist who had owed Dad money for settling a damage suit had painted it when the sister was 16. But Ann hadn't changed. There were her eyes, brown, wist tful and appealing; there was the anole-brown hair and the quiet (brow. "She doesn't need to be beautiful," April said half aloud. "'She can sing and how she can sing!" "Here goes," April thought, and Whirled the dial for long distance. 'I want to place a call to New York.'f Then Almost hpfnro Kh rnnlrl Itake breath, someone was answer-1 ling at the other end. i : "Hello," April said to the un- Ifamiliar voice, "I would like tol speak to Miss Ann Burnett." ' "Ann Burnett? I'm sorry, but I' (think she's just gone out." ; "Oh, no," and April, who had i forgotten about placing the call in iperson to Ann, fairly wailed. '"Please, I've got to get her at once." "Walt a minute. Maybe I can catch her." The strange voice drifted off and even 500 miles away, April could catch the sounds of hurrying steps and a door open ling. - - i And then, unbelievable but true, ja voice came through the wire i the voice that might have beenj mei uwu, su identical was ih jnlt hello," Ann was saying. "Ann, dear, this is April!" And Ithcn, because she was trembling, lApril cradled the telephone in her (hand and purled up on the lounge.. FOR LOVE COPYRIGHT. 14I. N(A S.rlVICK. INC. "Oh, April dear. What's wrong?" The quick pulse of fear traveled I the miles In a split second. ! "We're perfectly all right," April I made herself say steadily. "Mother and Dad went up to the cabin to ! build log fires and spend a rugged i week-end. Oetavia has taken her-; self downtown and at any minute: iNip is going to howl hello." "And you?" There was gay re-, I lief in Ann's question. ; "Oh, me. I'm my same gorgeous i self, Annie. Reason I'm calling up ; has to do with you, Ann. You've got to come home at once this vri'V night, on the midnight train."1 "But why? There is something wvong, then!" "No, Ann, everything's as right, ks right can be. Better yet, Kent Carter came home today." "Kent! You mean for good, from Fort Dodd?" "No, honey, not for good. On ' leave until Monday night. Now listen quick, Ann, because every word I'm saying costs money. It was all unexpected, I mean Kent's coming home. Naturally, he's crazy to see you." All the things she'd meant to say vanished in Ann's quick an swer. "But April, I can't come home, even to see Kent." She paused briefly, went on, "As a matter of fact, if Kent only knew lit, he was the one who spurred me on to take this New York ven- iture. And now I'm having my chance at last Tomorrow night I lhave an audition with Vivano ithe great Vivano." April clutched the telephone I stubbornly. "It doesn't matter," ishe wailed. "You'll have to post- pone it cancel it anything." Ann might not have heard her. She was saying, "I've lived for this time, worked for it It may be the making of my future.

"-A I,, Bin 1 HtI 1 HHTl a chance of a lifetime, this audi tion for Vivano." ANN'S voice, Yes, while April anil Ann talked alike and laughed alike, Ann's singing voice went away ahead and beyond April's. It was a lovely contralto and everything must be done to keep it that way. Mother was always particular to have nothing disturb Ann before) a recital. April knew if she told Ann now about Kent's blindness, her sister might go all to pieces. It might even spoil the audition. So instead, she almost bawled Into the 'phone. "Kent loves you, Ann. Ho's craiy about you." "Of course ho is." Ann gave a small sigh and then with the quick little gasp characteristic of her, asked, "Did he tell you so?" "Yes no." April floundered and then, blessing of blessings, Nip rnmo bounding to bark his "howlo." When the barking was over, so was the bad minute. Ann, appar ently being hurried away by some one who stood at her elbow in that hallway 500 miles away, spoke in her same, lovely, gentle lilt "You send word to Kent April, that I'm heartbroken I can't make it. But don't dare tell him about the audition. That must be kept a secret until I know it's a suc cess," So that was that! She, April, was to send word to Kent Carter that Ann was heartbroken but couldn't get to Pattonsville. These were Kent's three days against the darkness) Out of her confusion and de spair, a flash of sheer inspiration struck April.
