each other's arms. And Peg was
lovely with happiness, even through
her tears. She tore herself out of
Hank's arms to fling herself upon
Adele.
"Oh, Adele, honey! Will you ever
forsrive me? 1 just couldn't bear it
any longer! And when I saw in the
New York paper that barret was
home from Europe, I just went to
New York and told him the truth.
Then we got into his car and I
never rode so fast in my life! Hon
estly, Adele! I only did it to make
you happy and then I got scared
and when I had told one lie J
had to tell a million more"
"Don't think about it, Ptg "
Adele tried to stop the other girl's
flow of contrite words.

that I couldn't make myself ad

Hank with mock gruffness. You

They all laughed a little

Adele's arms to Hank's, and Adele
went just as fast into Barret's.
"Why don't we have a double
wedding right away?"
They never did know whose
bright idea that was, but it was
Adele who piped up
"Oh, let's! The gardens are full
of the loveliest spring flowers. We
can have a yellow and white wed
ding. You know, there s some
thing about spring flowers"
She wanted to sav that there
was something about spring flow
ers that was akin to love. The dry
heat of summer might wither
them, the snows of winter cover
them, but they came back with
the spring. They never died. Nei

But Barret couldn't spare her
lips long enough to say all that.
And they all know it, anyway
THE KNU
Haywood Goes 4
Months Without
A Traffic Death
231 Are Killed In State
During January, February,
March And April
Haywood county did not have
any traffic deaths during the first
four months of this year, Ronald
Hocutt, director of the Highway
Safety division, reported this week.
The state as a whole had 231
street and highway fatalities dur
ing January, February, March and
April, compared with 257 for the
same period last year, Hocutt said.
"This ten per cent reduction is
most gratifying, particularly in
view of an increase nationally in
traffic deaths during the sume pe
riod," he commented.
The largest reduction for the
four-months period was in pedes
trian fatalities, only 80 pedestrians
being killed up to May 1 this year,
against 99 through April 30, 1939.
The 231 traffic fatalities report
ed to the Highway Safety division
the first four months of this year
included, besides the 80 pedestri
ans, 18 persons Kileu in rauroao
crossing accidents, seven killed on
bicycles and 126 killed in accidents
involving motor vehicles only.
Haywood was one of the twenty-
nine of the 100 counties of the state
reporting no highway deaths for
the four months, and twenty-one
others reported one each. Buncombe
had eight.
Guilford county had the worst
record in the state with 13 fatali
ties, being followed closely by
Mecklenburg and Cumberland with
11 each and Robeson with 10.

inner glow that had been her
greatest beauty the iirst time Bar-
ri-t Cavnor saw her. was turned on
again. There, in his arms, in the
space of a breath of time, a white,
wan, spiritless girl began to glow
again with the great pulsating
beauty that is only one thing in
the whole world. Love. Barret
watched it happen breathless. As
one stares, unbelieving, at the snow
flowers that have melted away the
snow that thev may lift their love
ly faces to the sun. bo was Aaeie

Adele felt every nerve within her
begin to sing, like the singing Wires
Barret' had mentioned that nrst
nght. Every tiny fiber of her being
was vibrant, alive again, nappy
It was a long time before they
had need for words, standing there:
feasting their eyes upon the love
liirht in each other's eyes. Finally
"I worship you," said Barret in
the same breath like a duet. It
seemed to be all they needed to say,
jf.it ih,v hu to sav it over and
over.
And after a while, Aunt Mary
came in search of the open door
that was chilling the house with
its hospitality to the sharp spring
breezes, and she found them there.)
Wordless, locked in each other's
arms, staring into each other's
eyes as if they could never stop
staring.
"Well!" said Aunt Mary sharply,
after she had closed the door. "This
time you'll state your intentions m
the very beginning, before you
make our girl miserable again! '
"I'm glad to, Miss Raymond,
said Barret, lifting his happy eyes
for just long enough to say it.
"They are strictly matrimonial.
And very impatient intentions, too,
my dear lady. I can't make this
child my wife fast enough."
"Well! Urn! Of course! Urn!"
stammered Aunt Mary, not know
ing at all what she was saying.
"You're-well! What an April Fool
I you turned out to be! I mean Oh,
I didn't mean "
And she fled, the dear lady, in
an ae-onv of embarrassment. :
Adele and Barret stared after
hnr for a moment, shaking with de
lighted laughter. But they couidn i
snare Aunt Marv their attention
very long. Their world held only
other.
After a while they drove around
to tell Hank their news, but Hank's
imthpr said Hank was over at
Ppit's.
"Oh, do you 'spose they've made

happy I can't bear to have anyone
in the whole world unhanny. Espe
daily Peg. And Hank. They really
are mad about each other.
"Then youll forgive Peg?" asked
Barret.

who wouldn't forgive herself. Let's
