Jo, that's the last time you'll take the car out alone! I'm tired of get ting you out of jams. Sergeant Ryan is tired of it, too. He told me to-day that he'd let you off for the last time."

A half hour later Jo dried her eyes and went up stairs. Her mind was made up. She'd pack and leave on the 6.30 train. She could never be happy with Art again. She could never trust him, never feel that he was loyal and fine as she had always thought.
Hastily she scribbled a note explain- ing that she knew of his deceit, and went down stairs, paused at the foot and stared wide-eyed.
Art, grinning broadly, was standing

"Art! Please! I don't care, to listen to more of your lies!" She tried to get past him, but Art stepped: in her way.
"Don't be follish, Jo. You'll regret it. Wait till you hear, my story."
Jo paused. After all, it was "only fair to let him explain. She did love him, and she'd never feel right unless she had given him a chance.
Jo didn't mind so very much. In the first place she didn't like to drive, and in the second place she was a little tired of trying to talk herself out of traffic misdemeanors to burly and irate policemen. If Art's: decision hadn't come on this particular day, she wouldn't have minded a bit But the fact that that afternoon she was scheduled to be at a, bridge party in the neighbouring town of Benton, and had been depending upon the car to transport her there, was annoying.
Jo glanced at her watch. The last bus to Benton for over an hour had left ten minutes ago. She became a little panicky at being deprived of the his arms, afternoon of bridge; and became angry getting sore.

Jo, both arms about Art's shoulders, reached inside her bag, extracted the note and crumpled it.
Feeling somewhat like a small boy stealing apples she took the ignition key from her bag, which Art had fail- ed to deprive her of, climbed into the car and was away. Once beyond the city limits she didn't care a hoot whe ther Art discovered the theft or not. It would do him good.
Jo returned, to town just before five. There was no indication of excitement about Art's office, and she parked the car in the exact spot where it had
