"Your conjrraru laUont mean a crest deal. Yes, I have the message. TO promise to let you know." April went on upstair. Con gratulation to the bridel Ann Bounded thrilled, elated. And suddenly April realized that the was more at peace with herself than she had been since the first night she had seen the blinded Kent. Even when Kent had been ready to jeopardize Ann's future, she had been the one who had saved It All that was important now was that no one should ever guess the secret, guess the sacrifice she had made. TTTE Burnetts had planned a small dance that night for Ann's friends in honor of the coming marriage. Dad, looking handsome In tuxedo, had a few minutes to talk with April before going downstairs to receive the guests. "Tou made a fine witness today. Daffy girl," he said. "And you're the best lawyer I ever had," she tossed back. ' "It was Kent and that rookie who brought the hearing to quick end. Winkle Appleman Is trouble-maker and trouble-makers can be pretty dangerous." -You don't mink he'd dare do any scandal-mongjng around town?" Dad thought not "At any rate, not for awhile. He's being held for vagrancy and will probably end up spending a few weeks on the county farm." April was before the mirror, smoothing in flame lipstick, spray tag a mist of spicy perfume into her hair. She'd chosen her most ri.hing dress for tonight coral colored velvet with a neck that leant high against her throat in front to leave her back a gleam ing expanse of opal skin. "You look mighty sweet," Dad said. But she knew she didn't The dress belonged to another part of her life; it set oddly with her iwhite face and frightened eyes. ' "I'm celebrating my escape from IJaO." she said. "All set for tomorrow?" Dad i seemed to be worried about some jthing, anxious to talk to his oldest Isiri. i "All set?" April answered. Tm glad Ann dismissed the idea of 'having a bridesmaid. It would Slave struck me as funny to have Ibeen standing beside the bride I groom in court one day and be side the bride, the next" Dad looked at her, a question way back in his eyes. But he walked out without saying any thing. aaa jJJOWNSTAIRS, a white-coated, cousin of Octavia's was pre Iparing the punch; clearing the: i floors; arranging the seats for. ! guests. Three of the boys from Ithe band at Casa Blanca were coming over to furnish the music The first person April saw when she went downstairs was Ann. Ann was the beauty tonight, the shining one of the two sisters. Her dress was of creamy lace, so de signed that the aeck and shoulders gave a heart-shaped effect Out of this she emerged ethereal, ra diant "Ann, our first bride," Mother murmured and it was as if those words expressed Ann's triumph at last from the role of the "plain sister" to that of the glamorous lone. The pianist ran experimental fingers over the keyboard and the accordion player grinned and sa luted with the wedding march. ! April avoided Kent danced! with young friends and old ones of the family and then, at last with Hal Parks who hadn't taken Ihis eyes from her aU evening. It was Hal who managed to dance her away to a corner in the hallway. Here, an excellent idea of the florist's had resulted in a small corner, blocked with a (fern screen which shut out sight lot the guests dancing in the living I room and sunporch. I "I think maybe you've danced llong enough for your first night out," Hal said. "Yes, I'm not up to my usual form." "I was in court today. You came through with what they call flying colors." "Well, the army saved the day." "Yes." Hal said with a a nick glance, "the army did." . April leaned back against Hal's arm. After awhile, he looked down at her. "Remember what I said about waiting for you?" "Yes. HaL "Well, I'm still around." aaa APRIL learned right then that ix lust as two wrongs didnt make a right nor could a second love take the place of a first She had told Kent she was go ing to marry Hal Parks some day. But she knew now she could never marry him. An empty heart wasn't enougn tor a person like HaL She faced him. "Hat I never liked any person as sincerely as I do you. I've tried to learn to care for you but that's not love. I wish It were." Words choked her. She couldn't say anything else. Hal patted her shoulder. He understood as he al ways did. "It it will make it any easier for you. I've guessed it ail along," he said. "I stopped hop ing oh, a long time ago. I think it was the last time we danced together at Casa Blanca." He tilted her face, brushed his lips lightly across her cheek. Then he stood up. "April, honey, love ia slow blooming with some peo ple, but not with you. Love with you is like lightning. It strikes once and fast" KEN he'd gone. April still sat in the fern-shielded corner. Nip, bewildered snd not a little unhappy at the whole uprooting of the house, nosed her out April leaned to pat him. "Ever hear those words "bury the dead?" Her head began to slump. "Well, that's me, Nip. I've buried it aU today." Kent had said, "You dont know what tears are." -Maybe I don't" she thought and felt her hand wet with them. Suddenly, she was on the floor beside Nip, the coral gown as in congruous as a clown's paint twirled around her. In her sobs, the didn't hear footsteps approach ing. When she looked up, tears streaking her face, she saw that Ann and Kent were storing at her.
