Tm taking the roadster out rn be by for you in a few min utes. Ttne." he said. "That wtn be tone." But he didnt say It in the same glad, ringing voice as on that day when she had 'phoned nun before their drive to the wind mill farm. AS she drove up the bin in the ear, the sky waa still streaked in the east with copper and gold. And there was a certain fragrance in the air. Almost like spring, she thought, even though the calendar rwas still at January. I He was waiting at the gate and when be saw that she was April, (curly yellow hair, rakish beret and paunty coat, he strode angrily to tne car. "Another one of your querades?" "No no, It lsnt" Where's Ann?" "That's what I came to tell vou." He leaned hard against the car floor. "What do you mean? Has he gone away?" I "Yes to New York.

Then he said, "No, if she wants it to be like that I wouldn't try to get her back. I have a feeling it's for the best" As she looked at him, April had the impression that Kent wore an expression, almost of relief. i April shifted gears, started the motor. "Ill hurry along," she said. There'll be things to be done at home. I'm sorry, Kent, it had to turn out this way." . In another instant the roadster would shoot down the hill again, i turning 1U back on Kent and the FOR LOVE NC4 aCRVICK. INC. gloomy old bouse, fhia time for all time. "Don't go yet" Kent said.

HI tell her and good luck. Kent" "Thanks and to you. April. You deserve the best I had you aU wrong. April, right from the first when I called you the Glit terbug." Suddenly, April switched on tne throbbing engine. "Kent Carter," she said, "we're talking here like strangers, making up polite con versation. I don't want your good luck!
