He headed right at us and we swerved to the right, do you see? and this child was in the car we hit It sort of swung "round, and all the cars Jammed, and every one shouted."

"It looks to me, from what Fargo says, as If it was up to the other Dick said now, sitting fellow," down beside Gail on the end of the table. "V hose child was It, Dick?" "Moss.

"But you don't think I'm I'm enjoying It?" "Oh, shut up," Phil commanded her, brushing the little spurt of temper aside, his dark look not brightening. "But but Ariel wasn't to blame, Phil! It wasn't her fault, Dick. Why why shouli they why should they want to take her to Jail?" Gail demanded. "It's what they call a technical charge. Now, let's keep cool, everybody," Dick said, "and find out Just where we stand. In the first place, what time was this, Ariel?" "Ten minutes to six." "And you and Biddy Raisch and the Barchi boy were In the car? Was Dorothy Camp there?" "No. Not then. She'd left us." "Left you!" "If you'll give me a chance," Ariel Interrupted the Interrogation with bitter patience, "I'll try to tell you. But I can't get anywhere If you keep looking as if I'd done all this as a Joke!" There was no answer to this. But Phil said drily, as If thinking aloud, "God knows It's no Joke!" "You weren't driving, Ariel?" Gail asked In a sick tone. "Yes, I was." "You don't know how to drive!" "Oh, yes, I do." "Good G d !" Phil whispered under his breath. "Ariel not when It happened you weren't driving then?" "I say I was. Gall." Ariel's weary, colorless face cracked with y "Well, This Man ' He Was Drunk." and stay with Dot over night," Edith put In, anxiously ac cuslng. "Yes. Well, we did ; we had lunch on the Howards' yacht In Santa Crus. We were coming right back, and then afterward, when we were starting home, we saw the sign at Soqtiel 'Del Monte 38 miles' and Larry said he dared us to go down there and have dinner and dance. We started for Del Monte bat then we thought that was too smart we weren't exactly dressed for it so we went to a place In Monterey, a nice place, too, and we all wandered up and down the street, and bought things and had fun." She fell silent on the word. "Go on!" Phil said. "Well, then we cleaned up for dinner, and dressed our suitcases were In the car and we went over to the hotel and had dinner, and fooled around. But then the boys got sort of silly," Ariel explained, scowling, "and we didn't know what to do with them. Then Buddy said that If we'd go over to Del Monte and dance he'd rush us home right But at the after, so we agreed. hotel he disappeared, and I didn't know where he was. Dorothy was dancing with Larry I think they're engaged, GaiL" . The forlorn attempt at diversion fell flat. Gall's face was stern. "1 don't know what I would have done" Ariel went on, "if Van Murchison hadn't come up. Of course he said that I oughtn't to be there so late, and that you and Ede would be wlid, and we went out and sat on the porch waiting for Buddy to show up. Van took me home about half-pas- t one, to the Monterey hotel," Ariel said, "and Dorothy was there." "And what had happened to Buddy?" "Well, he'd eaten these oysters, Phil, and he felt sick." "And then, Ariel?" "Dorothy and I were so scared we cried, and she was going to telephone her mother. But we thought that wouldn't do. So we locked our door and went to bed. Dorothy and I went to sleep; I don't know when the boys got In; they were on another floor, anyway. We got up early this morning, and walked around Monterey. And we met the boys they were'all shnvel and dressed and sober, of course, and they felt so sorry we sort of forgave them, and we went to breakfast, and then we were comWe packed and ing straight home. we got started at about eleven, but we stopped at the Del Monte links to see some of the golf. "We had some sandwiches at Los Gatos, at about three, and we came on over the Dumbarton bridge, and Buddy kept feeling sicker; and sicker, and Larry was half asleep. Finally Dorothy said to stop the car for a minute, and she Jumped out and said she was going to take a bus. She said the way Larry was driving we'd have an accident. "No bus goes by there, anyway. But after a few minutes Dorothy signaled a car with a man and woman in It and got in I didn't think she really meant to, and Larry didn't, and It made us pretty mad." "Then what happened?" "Then Larry asked me to take the wheel, and said he'd sit right beside me and help me out if I I've had the wheel got Into a Jam. lots of times. So we changed places. We were only seven miles out aid all I wanted to do " Her voice thickened, stopped. "All I wanted to do was to get home," she said. "I drove along you couldn't go fast In that trafficJust keeping my place In the line, when the car ahead of me Jumped forward and got clear, and this crazy drunk lunged up in front of me. "There was the most awful-cras- hing of glass and wood," she whispered, putting her head back, closing her eyes. "Every one began to shout and scream. They saw the little girl, and a man asked me if my car had hit her, and I said I said I didn't know. I saw a man pick her up, and her hat sort of drop back. . . ." "Oh, my 0 d!" Edith whispered in the pause. "My car was Jammed against theirs," Ariel said. "But there dldn'paaeem to be much harm done. The police came op and they asked to see my license, and Buddy said that it was at home. But afterward at the station I told them I didn't have any. That was right wasn't It Dick?" Ariel asked with an appealing look. "Well, of coursel" Dick answered Impatiently. "They held us on a manslaughter charge." the Innocent, hoarse young voice went on. '.They, wanted me to telephone home, but I wouldn't" The recital was over. There was silence In the kitchen; no Lawrence ' . could speak. "I'll go right around." Dick said, glancing at his wrist "Now, don't take this too hard . It happens all the time. If they can hang It on Mm that be was drunk and that Ariel had the right of way they'll not hold her." Gall's heart went to him, the big. homely, gentle, adequate friend and champion of the family, with so passionate a rush that she felt an emotion like a physical pain in ber yacht an unnatural smile; she looked about the circle scornfully, almost sneerlngly. "You all look so funny!" she gasped, shaking, trying to laugh. "You all take things so d n seriously 1" Gail tightened an arm about her shoulders. "Pull yourself together, Ariel!" she said sharply. "You've gotten us all Into horrible trouble, and been partly responsible for a little girl's death, and If you can't take It seriously, why, we can, that's all. What were you doing driving Buddy Ralsch'g car! Are you crazy?" "I've told you what I was doing We were coming back from Monterey, and Buddy was sleepy, and so was Larry, and I waa driving.

They said it was badly smashed, but the man wasn't hurt, and at first I don't think they thought anyone was hurt And then they saw this little girl on the grass." "Why wasn't Buddy driving, Ariel?" Gall asked, very gently, in a silence. "He was sleepy, 1 told you. We were all up late last night, dancing. We were over at Monterey. We Just went there for diuner, Buddy and Larry and Dorothy and I.
