stonehouse stonehouse house louse disappeared around the bend of oC the lake boulevard A tiny light twinkled out across the water the range light on the head of HappIness Happiness Happiness Happi HappI- ness island She snuggled low behind the little little little lit lit- tle girl as they flashed beneath occasional occasional occasional oc oc- oc- oc street lights along the lake shore The car was closed tight and the smell of ether made her sleepy Once or twice she nodded and then rO is roused d up up She must not go goto goto goto to sleep Harry and Sam exchanged monosyllables She leaned forward trying to catch their conversation I I was goin to the apartment apartment- Jingo's place place cant cant can't go there now if she should squeal Well We'll go go- go His voice was drowned in the roar of oC the motor Tho The children began to move and she held them closer Betty Lou cried out and Harry turned Shut that kid up and do It quick Jingo bent her head and anti whispered whispered whis whis- to Bett Betty Lou reassured her And o presently the child relaxed and slept again Use Your Head Hend In the distance there was the illuminated illuminated il illuminated il- il haze against the sky that meant the cit city Jingo sat up straighter taking care that the hat was low over her face Her head ached cruelly She must nto go to sleep She leaned forward and lowered the car window from the top and drew In a breath of ot cold fresh air Put that window up Harry snapped If those kids begin to cr cry what what then then Use your our head They were in the suburbs suburb now myriad street lights shining through the light fog that was settling down Sho She could hear the regular breathing breathing breathing breath breath- ing of the boy against her could feel the pressure of Betty Belty Lous Lou's warm head on her shoulder The two men sat low in their seats scats their caps drawn over their eyes ees Its safer to go through heavy traffic Harry was saying as the car slowed down Better chance of gettin through if they have tele tele- phoned Side streets are arc out Stick to heavy traffic Sam Sams Sam's reply was unintelligible She spent a whole day with me Harrys Harry's

a jewelers jeweler's door dOOl on the corner Jingo closed her eyes COS for an instant and then looked again Sam turned Into the wide wido main thoroughfare The theaters and restaurants were pouring

green light Would Sam go through or would it change Dear God it must change and and Harry cursed as the green flashed into amber and then red The car was slowing up stopping hemmed in on both sides

so The door swung open hitting the of the car next to it Then Then she she screamed Her voice pierced the midnight tumult tumult tumult tu tu- tu- tu and confusion of the great city The children startled from their sleep sat upright and Betty Lou started to cry A Shrill Whistle In a daze she saw faces turn people craning their necks run necks run running ning from all sides There was a roar as the car started forward with witha a jerk and shot through the cross street and down the boulevard Harrys Harry's arm was reaching out to toward toward toward to- to ward her as he leaned over the back of oC the front seat She Sho could hear him breathing hoarsely as his face drew nearer to hers his hand pressed against her mouth You yellow yellow- The car stopped with a jerk There were loud
