Lucy allowed herself a storm of tears. §he buried her head in the cushions of the couch, and crled her heart out, When she began to get her breath once more, she got up and washed her face. Then she began to pack. Plans formed and unformed in her mind # she worked. And suddenly she' knew what she would do It she was, going she must go at once. If she walted to see. Mark again, would never find: the courage. It * took: her 'only 'a short {ime to: get her things together. Farewell Tokens She wrote and tore up a-dozen notes. 'What could she say to Mark?

I'm really very rich --such a big salary, and I've saved such a lot of it! LUCY. She found her checkbook and drew 'a check on the Allington "bank for a hundred dollars. She didn't know the Ark had cost Mark three times that. She thought she was overpaying him, and was glad, She - found "she couldn't write to Valerie at all. She found a snap- shot taken only the week before by Valerie, Lucy and McTavish . on the terrace. She wrote at the bottom, "With all my love, Valerie darling. Lucy." She ran with it to Valerie's bed. room, and laid it on the dressing table. She opened: Mark's sitting: room -door almost timidly. It; was the first tinfe sho had ever cross. ed the threshold. Even thé alr seemed filled with him. She ran to. his desk and propped the note there, with the check folded In. she. a Pain almost past bearing knot ted her throat. A handkerchict with an embroldered "M.A!" lay unfolded on a chair, where Mark had dropped it. She picked It up and held it for a second against her face. Then she thrust it deep inside her sleove. She closed the door ' carefully and . ran downstairs, Everything depended on secrecy. And speed. It Chiltern should seo her--it Mark should come back before she got away--It was almost like an - escape. The big hall was empty. The house might almost have been deserted. She pulled the oft fur of her coat around her and opened -the front door, runping down the drive and around to Catlet's quar- ters. y ' Luck was with her, for Catlet was just runnidg out the big car to go for Mark and Valerie. Lucy blessed her genius for getting on with servants as she called to him. "She had, she said, a sudden long- ing to take the Ark out for a little run. Was It in working order? Catlet assured her that it was,. as he had run it out only the day before to put it in :a different place. She supposed, she said, that Cat let had heard the funny old thing was hers? Catlet "had heard so, and told her gravely it was a fine old' bus. Would he get it out for her before he started? He would indeed. He dld. The lumbering old hybrid, its new engine humming | quietly fn its aged sides, rolled majestically into. the drive. Lucy almost forgot her grief to smile as Catlet stepped out of It in his smart uniform. "She runs like a two-year-old," he sald. ' "I can hardly wait to try it my- self. Thanks a lot," Lucy said. Away In The 'Ark She invented delays, poking in. .glde, waiting for Catlet to leave. He evidently had no suspicion, for ho stood for a second waiting to seo if she needed him. Then he got into Mark's car and drove away. Lucy ran the car quickly to a side door. Her heart almost choked her with its pounding. It was so awful to go like this, - She crept up a back stairway t her own door unseen. The upper hall was empty, and she carried - her luggage down piece by plece, making three trips, and hiding hor things in 'the back of the van. At last they were safe.

"esting Sidelight Sometimes there are strange les- gons---to- be 'learned (rom nature. The London Times recently com- pared the dodo, a large flightless bird now: extinct, with the Britons. The comparison is unique and a little imaginative but nevertheless it points an ominous warning. "It is odd that the most striking lesson to be learned from this an. tique bird should he of the import- ance of alr power," says the Times. "The dodo, 'like the Britons, lived . on an island, where it was compar- atively free from enemies; it ate the tropical fruit that lay on the ground and found its wings sup- erfluous and a bore; as a result it grew go fat that it could not have raised itself off the ground If it had tried--and at the first arrival of 'man it fell an easy victim, "Tho. parable of the dodo has been known for over two hundred years and those who do not want to go 'the way of the dodo' had better keep their wings in good flying or- der----whether they live on an is- land or not." R.A.F. Not "Dead as Dodo" The dodo, ct Mauritius' Island in the Indian Ocean and also the * great auk of several islands off the' Labrador coast were both aingless birds. They were secure on their sland homes until the arrival of European seamen, then. their lack of flight made them an easy prey to sailors who would come ashore armed simply with clubs. The dodo became extinct eatly In the 1600's; 'the great auk became extinct over . a century ago. Both spécles were literally killed oft the face of the earth, because they had no flight power. § It is a.strange and striking par- -} allel to what might also have been the "story jn Great Britain today: The "wings" of Britain had become dangerously like thd wings of the dodo and the great auk, But a new R.A.F, was born, the *"wings" of Britain seized control of the sky ° over tortured Dunkirk and later over the British Isles itself. "Never was so much owed by so many to so few!" Tho Nazis hoped for it, but the story of the dodo and the great ~auk will never be re-enacted on tho {sland of Britain, The dodo and the great auk had lost their wings, but the.
