fcr speed barry was drinking trrtnc beauties of the moon flooded night a fog rose from the river and floated lightly above the low lands wondering clouds touched by the magic of the moon like a huge disgorged feather bed the bank of white awaited barry s dip into the valley only tp disappear upon his advent like all my troubles mused barry now end then oblongs of yellow light showed through the blur of white and barry knew there was a home and he wished vaguely that there were a yellow light beckon ing him with these vague wishes was mixed the shadowy dream of a girl a face her blue eyes and her bright hair as soft and intangible as the feathers of fog about him barry had been unable to forget this particular girl for one moment after meeting her and now he was running away from her she threat ened to crystallize his vague dreams into reality she imperiled his celibacy and he wasn t ready not yet his memories of her min gled so enticingly with the night that he was startled as his car rose to the hilltop to see a slight figure hurrying along ahead of him won t you ride asked barry sensing that there must be some reason for a girl s treading this lone some road so long after teatime her voice sounded sharp and ther was recklessness m her acceptance of his invitation ves 1 11 ride she answered and slumped down into the seat beside him on your way to moorestown he asked as well as anywhere she re plied and barry was silent his dreams were lost m the fog as he puzzled about the girl beside him they drove along quietly dipping into the valleys and rising to the hilltops with a swift clean motion that was worthy of his car when they had gone another ten miles i he girl spoke suddenly i m leaving my husband i indeed ejaculated barry and added how old are you twenty four and i m tired of drudgery and tending babies and h a vojjbjwb thing i see commented barry soft ly husbands and babies aren t much compensation unless they re n ce he added tentatively my babies are adorable i aha lashed they must be unusual then he observed most babies are pestsl hae you any she demanded good lord no i m a bachelor then you don t know a thuuj about it they re so soft and ador able and and cute twin girls but his mother is always there nakmg trouble she 11 take care ol them of course agreed barry in another six months they 11 probably think she s their mother they re un- celing little brutes at best mine are not they know me they cry when i leave themt si- ence enveloped them when sud ienly the girl s voice broke it ie got to go back take me to the next bus stop you 11 think i m crazy 1 what difference does it make what i think i don t even know your name but you re foolish to go back we could go to the show and i x ve a good time he turned md caught the appeal in her up turned face honestly i didn t mean that c said contritely turning the car about i m going to take you unie the car flew like a live l ng tell me the house said barry i w 11 he could feel her tense- ess once she put oul a small and and laid it over his on the wl eel i don t know how to thank you your husband won t abuse you he inquired phil good heavens no men do not mine it s just that his moth er bosses me so i know i have a boss myself and some day i m going to wax in dependent and fire myself but not till i see that it won t ruin my own 1 appiness he told her she touched his arm when at last iwo rectangles of light gleamed through the lifting fog atmosphere has cleared re- narked barry drawing up to the house and sounding his horn the door opened and a frenzied young man stood outlined behind him a woman twisting her apron i ve brought back your wife he announced handing her out of the car wives are hard to get he observed and harder to keep i m told when 1 find one i m going to make it my business to keep her the young man with his arms about his wife tried to thank bar ry but with a wave of his hand barry was gone not steward moorestown but
