She smiled at him and said, her voice warm and’ soft, don’t have to settle it this ver: minute, do we, darling? After al we so seldom get an evening to ourselves like this.” And then River Gap had, for a something else to little flyer who had distinguished ie while, { think about. Out in the Pacific, a | self for courage and daring and skill, had been shot down and re- ported “missing in action.” River had grieved with all its heart, and there had been memorial ser- vices in the Baptist Church, | which the members and ministers of the other churches in River Gap took an active and sincere part. For Jerry Butler was a] River Gap boy. But three weeks later, the news was flashed around the world that Lieutenant Jerry Butler had been found alive. Not until the news! reached her did his mother, Lucy * Butler, break down and weep; and then they were the tears of a joy ‘SO great as to collapse the shell of hich she Gay | pride and courage in ad ehcased her heart since she had received that telegram from the War Department.

Isabel Lacey, Jerry’s sweetheart, wal on al¥, her shining black curls, in a, shoulder-length bob, seeming almost to bounce with the vigor of her happiness, her eyes, so dark a brown that they seemed black, shining like captured stars, She laughed a lot, piness a he lauz at Dan Lacey, her father, and the very hap- heart rang in her whic owned the big feed and fertilizer store, watched her with more warmth in his cold, wa gray eyes than anyone in River Capra had seen there since the death of his wife, Elizabeth, when Isabel was nine. Dan was not especially pop- ular in River Gap. and that seemed to be quite satisfactory to Dan. His whole life seemed centered in Isa- bel.
