J CHAPTER SIX
"PAUL," SAID Claire, as the
elopement progressed.
"Yes, darling!”
il" "Is there really any need of
rushing things so?"
:mi “Yes—there is—definitely."
hi "But—why?"
"1 don't intend giving you a
ci chance to change your mind again
—nor risk another quarrel that'll
,,. send me off miles away from you.”
"\Ve could have a few days of
fun in town—going to parties and
" things—and then get married."
"Nothing doing! Besides, as 1
told you, I have only a week's va
ul cation, and I want to marry you
u- tonight and make that week a
honeymoon.”
K Claire patted Pnul'i hand,
n- "You're sweet, Paul,” she said. And
after a moment's thought she add
ed e,l, "It's certainly weird the way
i). things happen. Imagine, me all set
to marry Bill Rollins, and go back
_ to New York to live in his pent
house studio—and then your com
ing home,"
•Tm darned glad I arrived when
I did," saiei Paul. “I'm claiming you
for my own, darling, just as you
ARE my own—for always and for
ever. Right?”
"Y’es, Paul," said Claire. "Tell me
about this place in the West Indies
where you live—and where you'll
take me?"
"It's sort of wild at the moment,"
Paul replied. "But some nice fel
lows and their wives are settling
* there, building little bungalows to
_ live ir while the Army bases are
■ being completed. Sort of primitive,
jX in a way—but you'll learn to like it.
i Bridge parties out on porches—not |
1 much dancing as yet—but lots of i
C out-of-doors; and the excitement of j
X seeing building* arid docks spring j
| right up under yxtr very nose.” ;
■
Claire said nothing for a time.
She sat there thinking. ... A
penthouse studio in New York, ter
races overlooking the East river,
color, life—and Bill Rollins. That—
and a quickly constructed bunga
low in a primitive setting, lots of
young wives of engineers, and not
much dancing-_-and Paul Peters.
Something of a contrast, and yet
she had finally chosen the bunga
low and not the studio. She hoped
she hadn’t made a mistake. She
studied Paul’s profile, remembered
his exciting love making, his en
thusiasms, his strong, caressing
hands. No, she hadn't made a mis
take—not when Paul went with the
bungalow.
"Oh!" she cried suddenly. "I felt
a drop of rain. And just look at
that cloud!”
“Looks like we're In for one of
Ardendale's famous cloudbursts,”
Paul said. "Isn't this where we
turn off?”
"Yd's,” said Claire. “And do drive
carefully. The road's full of holes
and gulleys.”
Paul forced the engine to do its
utmost and soon it was chug-chug
ging along a swamp-like and sel
dom-used road, a road that was
none too good under the most fa
vorable circumstances, and would
be almost impassable after a heavy
rain.
Then the raindrops began to pat
ter down, tangible evidence of more
to come.
"Darn it all!" said Claire. "I told
you we oughtn't to have been in
such a hurry, Paul!”
"Just keep calm, darling," said
Paul. “I'll get you safely through
it all. In an hour or so the storm
will be over, and you'll be Mrs
Peters. Gosh, just imagine!”
Then it happened. There was a
sort of thud as the car's rear
wheels dropped into a puddle.
Thile was also the sound of wheel
spinning around and around, and
getting nowhere. Claire looked at
E’aul. Paul looked at Claire.
"I'm afraid we re stuck," Taul
said.
"Well, of all things!" Claire
gasped.
"Just a minute and I'll have a
look." Paul scrambled out of the
car. "You get behind the steering
iand follow my divedion®. 1 !.'
see if I can find a board to put utw
der the wheels, so they can catch.”
"You'll never tind a board in this
forsaken spot,” wailed Claire.
Site was right. There was no
board. But l'aul threw some not
too-wet leaves under the wheels,
and prayed for results.
“Go on, darling, start the car!”
he cried. "I'll push.”
Claire did, and Paul pushed. But
nothing happened. That is, nothing
happened but that the spinning
wheels splashed Paul with mud
from head to foot.
“Weill” Claire called. “What's
happening? Will we make it?”
“Practically nothing,” said Paul.
“I'm afraid we're stuck—for good.”
“You mean we've gut to sit hers
all night?” said Claire.
“No,” Paul replied. He came
around to the car and looked in.
"It's not far to Than Weston's
farmhouse, is it ?”
“Oh, no—only about a mile down
this awful road—that's all!’’
“Shall we run for it before it
rains any harder?” Paul suggested.
“I'll wrap the automobile robe
around you—and carry you, if you
like.”
“Anything's hotter than sitting
here,” said Claire. "All right, let's
go."
They struck out, Claire running
along beside Paul at first, but later
permitting him to carry her. The
thunder rolled, the lightning in
creased, the rain grew more menac
ing, and the justice of the peace
seemed a long, long way off.
"Now,” said Claire, half sobbing,
"maybe you'll agree with me that
a church wedding would have been
best. ’
"I loathe church weddings," said
Paul. "I like elopements. Church
weddings cause such a lot of fuss
and mess.”
“What do you call THIS but a
mess?” Claire retorted. “You're
simply covered with mud. I
wouldn't know who you were If I
met you face to face.”
"Well, mud or no mud," said
Paul, trying to laugh, “it's still lit
tle me—your future husband.” He
stumbled on toward Pian’s farm
house, the bulk of which the light
ning revealed at brief intervals.
