THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1930 -§IEEsE J isi i y 8 the closing of a dis- : FOURTH INSTALMENT The street was very dark, the spring night and cloudy. There was no moot, the sky was veiled with a high sweep of fog. Underfoot the sidewalks glistened black from it, "Hete, T'll take Pg suitcase, Cassy I" Dan said gruffly. He laughed wyddenly, nervously, "Oh, why should you!" Her voice vas gay, excited, "Dan, will they ollow. us?" "1 don't think so." t. "We must think of that" Cassy + aid half runping and half jumping E long beside him. "We mustn't go p any of the big hotels, Papal hink of them the first thing" . "We won't" Dan promised her wiefly, . hurrying her along, \And | gain he laughed, "Well, it had to come sooner or i pen, she said philosophically, "and i m glad it came sooner- I don't feel "Yes, he admitted, smiling reluce tantly as he looked down into her eyes, glowing in the dack, Here slen- er, strong young arms gave him a 'Cassy, watched him gegister in the uy bie book, her tongue cavght between cy teeth, "Mr, and Mrs, Wallace Daniels, Watsonville, Calif." She caught a triumphant breath when they had been led upstdirs by an elderly bell boy, and put in posses. sion of a bare, dark bedroom, "There, that wasn't so' hard, was it?" she said with a laugh of: childish triumph, She hung out of the win- dow, studying the busy Satbrday night street. "I'll tell you what, Dan," hug. i Well, then?" she said triumphant ly. "Ofte 1" shes burst forth on a long breath, "If you knew the relief of getting it all over, and being out ~in the street, safe, alone with you! No wonder I'm acting erazy!" He looked at her again, and lean- ing toward her, dropping his head close to hers, he explained patiently, "Now, this is the whole thing, Cassy, Were in Dutch, We can get out of it, I think--I know we will! But we haven't got any money, 1 haven't. got a job, you aren't accustomed-----" "Oh, please forget all that abost what I'm aceustomed tg!" Cassy begged, diggingh er soft little fore- head against his in the dark, "Well, all right, then, But to be- gin with, T can't take you to a hotel fonight." "Why not?" Uassy demanded, hes eyes very wide open, "Well, because--for one thing, your father could raise the devil of a rumpus if he found us" "Oh, well, he won't!" the girl said comfortably, "Gosh, you are a little simp!" Dun observed, with something nearer his natural manner and laugh than he had shown singe entering the lib- rary, an hour uge. "You were born yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, weren't you?" "T know much more than you think!" Cassy said, delighted with his change of mood, "All right, then, What do you think we should do now?' "Why, go to a hotel, and register as Mr. and Mrs. Wallaze!" "All right. And get married to- morrow, 1 suppose?" "Well, certainly! And then I'll house-hunt, and you go look for a new job." ' | "As a chauffeur, huh?" "No, because you have to he home | nights," Cassy decreed calmly, she suddenly said, brightly, "Let's go out and walk around, We can't get a job, we can't house-hunt, and we can't get married tonight, so why not have a good time?" Dan looked down at her, and his wistful, wondering laugh suddenly brightened his troubled eyes. n their way down thru the. une speakably dreary, dark hallways, she gave an excited, happy little jump, "I'vednever stayed in a hotel be- fore, Dan!" "Well, for the lord's sake, don't judge 'em by this one!" he said fer- vently, "Dan, isn't this fun! Going along here all by ourselves, and not having to go hack home!' "I'll feel happier this time tomor- row," "Because we'll he married?" "Well, yes, . I'll feel better when 1 know it's settled definitely, once and for all" He walked along in silence, . "I need tooth-paste!" They went into a brightly lighted -drua store, and he paid for the little tube, "Sundae?" he suggested, "No, but I'll tell you! I'm starving, Could we find a nice little place and eat?" "I know a place, down a few blocks" Opposite her, in the cleanest of white dairy kitchens, with waffles be- tween them, he laughed out syddenly. "What is. it?" she said eagerly, "Thin Is the darndest yet," Dan answered obscurely, "But Danny!" It was her old argu ment. "Isn't it fun!" They talked for an hour; they had talked alone before, but never so quietly, so memorably, Dan took = pencil out of his pocket, and an old envelope, and they figured seriously "But we're. counting on onl a hundred!" Cassy would say. "And we may have twice that" "hey Went back to the Dresden, and Cassy seemed for the first time a Mitle vague" and wavering. "I haven't the rémotest "idea How wash 'my face, and brush my hair and. my teeth in a hotell" she said, with a weary laugh, "Got a wrapper?" Jan asked, in a matter-of-fact tone, "I've got.a kimono," "hen get out of. your drgss, and, put your wrappér on over your other things," Dan said "And then take your. outfit, and 'go across the hall to that roomy marked 'Bath, " "It fun!" she said dauntlessly, "I wouldn't undress any durther. We may, have to get out in a hurry, if they follow us," Dan told her, in the same unconcerned voice, when she came hack refreshed and fragrant, with her wet towels and brushes in her hand, "Just lie down on those pillows there, and I'll put the com- forter over you, and try to get some sleep." "But Dan, where'll you sleep?" "I'm going to sit at the window for a while, Your dear papa may take a notion to intrude upon us." "Oh, how could he?" Cassy said, on a long vawn that was like a moan, "Come kiss me," she. commanded drowsily. Dan went over, big, clumsy, and gentle, and knelt beside the bed, and she put her bare, young brown arms from which the kimono sleeves fell free, about his neck, and rested her face, in its frame of loose curls, against his cheek, "Isn't this fun, being all by ourselves, Danny?" she ¥ said, "I'l he glad when you helong to me, my dear, and when they can't | take you away. And I'll be glad when I get a job" Dan said, on a long, weary, heavy sigh "As if that mattered, Dan, as long as vou love me!" "I'm just beginning to realize how mugh a man can love a woman, Cassy." "And do you like it, Dan?" "No," he said slowly and simply "1 think it kind of scares me." He crushed his big arms about her slender shoulders, and drew her-- warm, smooth cheeks, tumbled curls, and fragrant mouth--close to him in a great embrace | Then he got to his feet, and went again to the chair by the window, land Cassy settled down on her pil 4.

It's not one- tenth of what he ought to have" Dan said, suddenly depressed again, "What about rent and food and everything?" ' "It's enough to start!"

Cassy demanded, "Well, we may get away with it," he said dublously, "Oh, Dan, Sor, do cheer up!" Cassy exclaimed impatiently, "We have éverything any one needs to get married on! And we could have such fun, if you wouldn't gloom all the time!" ] A sudden look of determination came into Dan's handsome face, and a new tone into his voice, as he said, "All right, deat, We're committed to It now-=there's no way out. We'll make a go of it somehow or other, [ guess." "Well, now "you're talking like yourself!"
