He had said, “You know that, don’t you, my dear—that that is what I want?” But she had not known. She had guessed, of course, that their friendship might lead to something more; Wayne had suggested that, but he had spoken of it as in the far-away future. Tibby could not know that he had not meant it to come this soon, either. He had not even meant to speak so soon, while they still were high up in that dark sky, among the stars, but he had spoken, so now she must give him some answer. “Aren’t you going to answer me?” he said, leaning toward her, trying to see the look in her eyes. “Have you nothing to say, my dear?” His tone now was gently reproving. After all, he had pro posed a marriage to her, a hostess in his company, a little girl from nowhere practically. Fanatic still, when one thought of it in that plain way. Tibby said, "I can't answer. Not right away. You’ve given me too many surprises this evening.” That must be it, for all she felt yet was that stunned silence. If Wayne were the one, the only one. wouldn’t she feel more? Wouldn’t delight fill her heart, joy and ec stasy her soul? “You realize—I hope—that I have asked you to be my wife?” Reproach was dominant in his tone as before. He wished she would look at him. not keep her eyes on the controls, her mind on them, too. he felt. If only she would look at him, think about him. . . That was her way, always to hold her self separate, never to give her self, or any small part. And that, of course, was why he must have her. Steena now—why should he think of her at this time?—she had giv en her mind, her heart, even her kisses willingly enough. She would have had a ready answer, realiz ing the momentousness of this high moment. He had not been fooled by the beautiful. Steena's cleverness. Had she been really clever, she would hav put a high er value on her kisses. Odd, for she, though a hostess, too, in Wayne’s company, had a back ground and moneyed connections that Tibby could not claim .Steena Winters would have made a more fitting wife for Wayne Courtright, but it was Tibby Lane he wanted. She he had to have. There was no sense to love, Wayne decided, even as Tibby had before him. There was no rhyme, or reason. “You don’t have to answer me right away,” he said to Tibby now, but he was hurt that she didn’t. “I suppose I have given you too many surprises. I hoped they would be pleasant ones. You like the ship, don’t you, my dear?” He did not realize that he said that as one might in appealing to, in trying to buy the affection of a child. In effect, “See the pretty toy I have brought you. You like it. don’t you? Therefore, you must like me.” “Of course.” Tibby’s answer, even to this, was brief, reluctant. Perhaps she felt now that it must hold reservatiods. Wayne had said he had bought the ship for her. You could not accept such a won derful gift, enthuse over it, if you felt you might not be able to keep it. “If you don’t want it,” Wayne said, still as one would to that dif ficult child, “I shan’t keep it. That was the arrangement.” “Oh, but you shouldn’t have,” Tibby protested. She meant that it had not been quite fair to count on her acceptance of such a gift; on her acceptance of himself, which was what was implied. She had agreed to be friends, but she had not given him any reason to feel that she could give him more than friendship. She had come to like him, to admire him very much. She found him exciting, but she was not at all sure that that was love. No, even though Tommy had said that the person one loved must be exciting, not someone well known and familiar. Why should she think of Tommy now? “Why shouldn't I? I want to give you things, everything your heart desires,” Wayne said. “I can, you know,” he added. That should count for something, even if she did not love him, for now he knew that she did not. That was another hurt that went deeper than the rest. “It doesn’t matter, my dear,” he told her, “whether you love me now or not, if only you’ll marry me, if only you’ll promise, at least, to think it over.” Wayne Courtright was begging, pleading with this girl at his side, this girl with her head in the clouds, flying the silver ship, thrilling only to that. It was in deed fantastic. Now he realized that he could not appeal to her as one might to a child. She did not care for all the things his money could buy her. She was not like other women in that — Steena again, for instance. She wanted something more, something that all the money in the world, all the background and heritage could not give. That, he realized further, was why he loved her. “I . . . I’ll try,” Tibby said. She wished she could say more. She wished she could promise to think it over, giving him hope that she would give the answer he wanted. Maybe it did not matter whether she loved him or not, or was cer tain. Maybe your heart did not tell you. Maybe, as Wayne was think ing, she demanded too much. “That’s all I ask,” Wayne said, although of course it wasn’t, but he had to be satisfied with it, with such a tiny morsel. Because he wasn’t satisfied he said now. “You know, though, my dear, that you cannot keep me wondering for ever. You must tell me as soon as you can. You must make up your mind.” Therein, after all, did lie a bigger hope to cling to. She had not refused him. She had not said she could not come to care for him. If she had not said yes, she had not said no. “I will, Tibby said. As soon as she could, althfeugh she had hoped to postpone all thoughts of love, of marriage, for a long, long while. It seemed you couldn’t. It seemed that people fell in love whether they wanted to or not, whethr you wanted them to or not, either. She had hoped, one day. to have someone fall in love with her as Wayne had now, wild ly, irrevocably. She had wanted a “Great Love.” So she had thought that night when Tommy had pro posed to her, only to withdraw ’t almost immediately. In weighing the love he had offered hef, she had found it lacking because there had been no romance with it. Well, DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Domes ticate 5. Mark of a wound S. Defensive covering 10.

Short haircut now there was romance enough, surely, flying high up in the dark clouds, with billions of twinkling stars all around, and beneath, oth er twinkling lights of the earth, like glimmering reflections, with the moon full and bright for added measure. Why, she had even dreamed of I someone like Wayne to complete the picture, someone strong and dark and exciting! He was all of that and more. He was the sort of man any girl might dream of, wish to come riding, as the fairy books of old would have phrased it. Only this was a modern fairy tale, the rich man proposing to this Cin derella, offering to fulfill all her heart’s desires, giving her a beau tiful silver ship to fly, laying his heart at her feet high up in the sky. Wouldn’t she be a very foolish girl indeed to refuse so much, to ask for more? She ought not even need time to think it over. She ought to grasp at the chance with greedy fingers. Her heart ought to leap with joy, instead of still being filled with doubts and questions and evasions, instead of going on in its lonely search. There was no one else. Probably no one else ever would come into her life, certainly no one who would give her mere in every way, romance included, than Wayne. Tommy was only the past, a child hood memory, no longer even that old playmate with whom she had shared so much. Yes, Tibby would be a very fool ish girl, indeed, if she did not tell Wayne—and very soon—that she would marry him. Since her heart, and her good common sense as well, told her that much, maybe it was answer ing all the rest along with it. May be it HAD spoken at last. 2 (To Be Continued) -V Patton Is Acquitted In Election Law Case ASHEVILLE, N. C.. Hay 20.— UP) —Arthur W. Patton, of West Ashe ville, was found not guilty by jury on a charge of violating the election laws, members of a natur alization class received their final citizenship papers, and several cases were disposed of before Judge E.
