E1NT stem IN CHAPTER XIX '"THAT'S her," Winkie said. ' "Sorry," the constable cut in, "have to serve a warrant on you." With that, he pressed folded document Into April's hands. April had presence of mind enough to shut the front door be hind her. She had on her fur jacket in readiness for Hal's ar rival but even in it, she befall to shake with cold and fright "What's wronj?" msnsfed to stutter. Tm a-sulnf jrou personal Injuries," Winkie drew out the phrase pleasurably. "Yes," he went on, "fuees you aint forgotten the night you knocked me down when you was taking Mister Kent Carter to the Psttonsrille railroad sta tion." April leaned against the door. She'd never told anyone that she had taken Kent to the train that night. She'd never mentioned the run-in with Winkie. Now with this document in her hand, she felt as if her doom had been handed to her, signed, sealed and delivered. If Ann knew, she would start being suspicious all over again about her, April, and Kent When Dad found out, he would be shocked. It wis going to hurt him in his piriywiai standing going to hurt everyone. "You cant do this, Winkie Ap pleman," she whispered. "You know I settled with you." -Settled!" Winkle snorted. Think you can injure a man, maybe permanently, and settle it on the spot for a few dollars?" The constable's eyes shifted around, came back to her. That's not all," he said. "Got to charge yon with failure to report an ac cident. Pretty strong laws about that in this state." Winkle said, "I was hurt so bad that night, I dktat know what I was doing. I wanted to call an officer but you wouldn't let me." ! April turned around, saw that the front door was shut securely. ilnsMe, the living room lamps were lighted but out here on the porch there was only the dim bulb (overhead. No one in the family had seen her yet but aha didnt Hare chance It further. She motioned Winkie and the constable down the steps. At any minute Hal would be here and know how to help her. She stopped in front of the con stable's car, her spirits lifting in quick spurt of defiance. "You cant prove anything, Winkie Appleman," she said. This is no better than a hold-up and you can't prove a thing!" "Oh, cant I?" Winkie sneered and twisted the shapeless brim of his hat "I guess mebbe the check would speak for itself." a a rpHE check! What had been a blur of pain and horror to her that night in the Pattonsville rail road station, started to clarify. She had opened her purse and landed a few bills and some change at Winkie. He'd whined for more. She had remembered her check book and how with a numb, shaky hand had written a check. "Make it 10," Winkie had said, "and I won't say nothing." April saw it alL Winkie, un scrupulous no-account that he might be, was legally within his rights. "Very well," she said finally, "what am I supposed to do." She heard the constable speak of posting bond, of appearing lor a preliminary hearing. "What you waiting for?" the constable asked. "Why don't you come along with me now and get booked at the station without any luss." j An upstairs window in the Bur-' Iwtt house opened. Through it' Into the crystal air, came a strain i of song from Ann. At this min-1 ute, Ann was dressing for her date with Kent Ann's wedding day would be soon. "Yes, I'll go with you just as soon as a friend of mine arrives," she said. "I'll go without any fuss. There's only one thing I ask. Does anyone have to know of this? Does my father? You see," and she spoke very humbly, "we're going to have a wedding in our house and the fuss, the notoriety would spoil everything." Again, through the window, she heard Ann's lovely voice, lifting in silver notes of happiness. April closed her eyes briefly. Winkle was speaking from the comer of his mouth. "Trying to keep it on the sly a little longer." April shuddered and then opened her eyes quickly. A clear, masculine voice wss saying "Keep what on the sly?" Only on voice was like that Not Dad. not Hal Kent Carter! "I asked "keep what on the sly?' Kent waa repeating and in someway had come to stand by April, one hand steadying her. i aaa TTHE constable was ruffled. I "Served a warrant on Miss Ethel Burnett here," he said. "Fail ing to report an accident damage suit." Kent took the papers from April's hand. "Well see about it" he said. "I happened to have been a witness to this so-called acci dent." Winkle was whining. "You're the fella that punched me in the face. Yep, knocked an old man down when he'd already been run over. I know you Kent Carter. Miss Ann's fella." April felt Kent's fist double under her hand. "Please." she I .uHtnni hiu ircr imc waa Close This was the first time she had seen him since he had returned, I his sight restored. This was the ' first time she had been near him. ' She felt a headiness. a surge of joy sweeping her. For one absurd j minute it seemed as if the hateful i warrant the shaming encounter .with Winkie Appleman had been predestined for only one purpose j to bring her back to Kent i Then she remembered Ann. Ann was in the Burnett house, safe, unsuspecting. April pushed Kent aside. "Wait a minute," she began breathlessly, "I've got something to tell vou all. I'll take the blame for this. It was my fault I can see it through alone." I For the first time, she faced ' Kent squarely. She saw the be loved face, the eyes, clear now without the shadow of the dark glasses. "You, Kent" and she managed to make her voice hard and brittle, "you stay out of It." She hadnt heard the door open or any sound on the steps. But something made her turn. Ann was standing there, pale, fragile as a moonbeam. She looked Ant at April and then at Kent "Whatever is the matter?" she asked.
