^=s^ \<\ SERIAL STORY HIT-RUN LOVE BY MARGUERITE GAHAGAN eei»YNi«Nr. n CAST OF CHARACTERS Patricia McCraw â€" heroine. She faced a choice between the law anil love. Larry Kent â€" hero. He faced an even greater decision. Tom Sweeney â€" prosecutor. He awaited the processes of the law. Yesterday: Larry calls Pat's young brother, Bill, to lie about his damaged fender. Bill is wilt- ing, to help Pat. He is to testify tomorrow. CH.^PTKR XIII They .sat there in tho little fub- by-ho!e of an office â€" Pat and bill â€" while the day <]rew to a ".lo.so around them. The boy's words had shaken Pat more than she re- alized. He had come to court pre- pared to tell a lie â€" a white lie as he believed â€" to save the man she loved. Uill, young:, idealistic, with the groundwork of his future life as a man even now beinj; laid, wait- ing to sacrifice one of his stand- ards to aid her. Pat looked at his profile there in tho late afternoon light. In all probability his testi- nony would aiil Larry, would help elinch his dcfen.se, help free him of the fate that a conviction would result in. But his testimony would also mean that for all the rest of his life he would know that Pat had per)nittcd him to lie under oath to help the man to whom she was engaRcd. Feet Of Clay It meant as he grew older and more aware of what he had done there in court he would have to take her down from the pedestal she now occupied as head of the family â€" sincere, hone.st, conscien- tious, above reproach. And her feet of clay would be ugly. She pressed her hands against her throbbinfc temples and twisted around in her desk chair. "You must promi.sc not to do it, Bill. You can't do it. If f^ar- ly is innocent he can prove it without putting you on the stand to lie for him. If â€" if he is guil- ty â€" " her voice trembled, then grew steady again, "then he must pay the penalty. I'll tell him in the morning that you are not to lie for him, and if he insists on puttiny: you on the stana that you will admit that you know nothing at all about the car â€" either ijefore or after the accident." The wide-eyed wonder i.. Bill's eyes jrave her courage. The light in them was no longer embar- rassed, but proud. She had not failed him. He and Joe could con- tinue to look up at her. Pat sent him olT home then, pleading that extra work would keep her busy. Actually she stayed to continue her own fight. The trick that Larry had meant to play with Dill shook hei'. He had meant to do everything in hi.s power to get off clean. Larry would use aiiy mean.s. And what if he iuccceded? What if as the case continued to- morrow she saw he was; winning, breaking down witnesses who thought he was the driver of the tar? Had .she the right to inter- fere? She knew he was guilty, that he had killed a woman, seri- ously injured a child. He had ad- mitted the truth to her, but the admis.sion had been to her as hi.s fiancee. In court a wife could not be forced to te.ilify against her husband. Larry would never have made the admission to her if he had not been sure of her love and loyalty. Yet his own love for her had not prevented him from at- tempting to use Bill, and would not stop him from putting her on the s>..nd to swear to his lies. Her Love Dead Love was gone. She knew that now. Larry had killed her love a3 definitely as when he became a hit-run driver. Tho act of being involved in a tragedy was not what had killed her love. To have stood beside him as he faced that charge would have been her right, the privilege of her love. But running away, denying responsi- bility, lying â€" that had burned the last remnant of affection from her heart. An aching emptiness remained. All her world had been Larry for days, weeks, numths. Her future, too, had been Larry: Larry com- ing home to their apartment in the evening, Larry eating the din- ner she had prepared, Larry in- troducing her to their friends as "Mrs. Kent." Everything had re- volved about Larry, .^nd now it was ended. She slipped his ring from her engagement finger, watching the sparkling diamond catch the rays of the late sun. Tears in her eyes surrounded it with tiny rainbows. * She blinked (juickly as the door of the office opened. It was Tom, his arms filled with dog-eared law books. "Still working away?" he asked, looking down at her while she tried to blink away the tears from her eyes. She could feel his near- ness, his kindness. He put the books down on the desk, stopping suddenly as his fingers brushed the ring that still sparkled in the light. He reached for her hand, touched the bare finger. "What does it mean, Pat?" he asked, his voice husky with feel- ing. "Can I help? Have you had a quarrel with â€" with someone?" A Sympathetic Tenderness She couldn't trust herself to look up. The tenderness and sym- pathy in his voice brought all the grief of the past week back in an overwhelming wave. "An engagement ring " ho continued, touching the diamond. "I'd noticed it on your finger, of course. I â€" I didn't look at it any more than I could. I guess 1 didn't like it, Pat. And now it's otf and you â€" you'i-e crying, aren't you?" He put his hand under her chin and raised it until he could look into her face. "You feel pretty terrible. You care for this fellow a lot. What's happened? Has he made you unhappy? What did he do?" "It's All Over" Somehow she controlled her- self. "It's all over, Tom. I'm a lot better otf. It â€" it just wa.sn*t meant to be. I see that now. I'm glad I found out in time." "I don't know who he is, but I do know he's a fool to let some- thing take you away from him. I wouldn't if I were in his place. I'd fight to keep you. 'fhero wouldn't be anything 1 wouldn't do if I were this chap."

You can't be bought off. You're hon- est, true." "I'm honest when I say I care for you, Pat. Maybe now isn't the time to say that, not now when your world has crashed and you're so unhappy, but it's true. I care for you more than I've car- ed for anyone before in niy whole life. All these weeks over here I've watched you. wanted to be near you, waited in the morning for you to come in the courtroom, planned so that I could eat when you were ready, hung around late just to say goodby in the after- noon. I love you. I didn't think I had a chance before, but now, Patâ€" now â€" do you think I have?" She put her hand over his, feel- ing his strength and courage, his gentleness and understanding.

Tomorrow, or next week, or next month â€" sometime, though, perhaps you'll let me tell you more of what I feel." She nodded. "Knowing that you care helps right now, Y'es â€" later I'll be able to think clearer, and thenâ€"" Tomorrow Coming He touched her hair and pick- ed up his books. She heard the door close after him. Tomorrow or the next day, he had said. To- morrow there would be other things to think about. Tomorrow the case would continue. Larry would be found innocent or guilty. Tomorrow Tom would either be due for congratulations for be- ginning his winning crusade against trafliic offenders, or he would slip back into the role of inefficient prosecutor who lost an important case. She put her work away, slipped into her wraps and went down on the street. She walked to try and see the threads of the pattern. Larry and his secret that she shared. Tom and his love and be- lief in her. Before h'^r loomed the big Municipal Hospital, its stone front gi-imy with the smoke and dust 8f the city, its steps cluttered with people coming and going, some on crutches, others with band.iges on heads and arms, some with tear-rcddened eyes, oth- ers clasping wilted flowers. A pcddlar stood near the curb with a little cart heaped with spring blossoms. Suddenly she stopped, looking .it the daffodils, the peonies, the violets.

S«Ba« of Pcac* "On' 10 minutes left in tht visiting period. She's in the children's ward on the second floor." Pat went up through the long corridor odorous with disinfectant. Through partly opened doors she caught climpscs of crowded rooms â€" beds, drawn shades, dingy walls. The children's ward was only a little brighter. Someone motioned her to a bed in the corner where a small body lay quiet, motionless, in the hub- bub. A worn toy lay unnoticed on the sheet, 'fhe child was drowsy with pain and medicine. A nurse came by. "She's still a sick kid. Are you a member of the family?" "Noâ€" only a friend." She laid the flowers on the bedside table and touched the hot, pale cheek with her fingers. The child moved and opened her eyes. They were dull with fever. "Mamaâ€"" she said thickly. "I want my mama." Pat turned and walked away. The lump in her throat was too big to swallow. Her heart ached within her, but there was a sense of peace in her being that she had not experienced for weeks.

Women Really Thick-Skinned U you've ever been troubled by the fact that women can stand higher-temperatures than men you can set your mind at rest because it all has a scientific explanation, according to Dr. Charles Sheard, director of Biophysical Research at the Mayo Foundation, St. Louis, Mo. Dr. Sheard said women nomally produce from 10 to 15 per cent, less heat than the opposite sex which enables them to remain comfortable when the thermometer is soaring, while the male perspires and becomes uncomfortable. Better Insulated "A woman has more fat on her body, for one reasons," Dr. Sheard said. "It might even be said she is more thick skinned than man, and the lower metabolic rates in the female enable her to stand greater temperatures. ^ Household Science KATHERINE BAKER A bowl of Spring flowers and this delicious Orange Cream Cake heral.l Spring and the Easter season.

Few girls hare to. Any girl with a face one degree prettier than a Cheddar cheese can come so near conformity to the international standard, as recognized !n London, Hollywood, N'ew yor'K, Paris, Rome, Berlin and Calcutta, that the dif- ference does not matter. Thanks to chemistry, and thanks to her own time and trouble, she is a pret- ty girl, like ail the rest. The real beauty of women is far more thaa skin deep; it is soul deep. The mure aids to outward bea;;- ty are brought within the reach ot all women the better. But for girls to look on that .is an end itself, and to give all their leisure to cul- tivating ft. seems to be the biggest mistake that this generation has made. Less time should be spent In making up her face to resemble everybody else's face and more time In developing her whole per- sonality.

This trick can be done anywhere at any time, and not only rests the feet but strengthens the ankles. NEED BUILDING-bP? r; fr >ou are weak. â-  tiiiii, or pale, take \ tonic to build > luuself up.
