that his excitement must be patent to
those around him now that the time

AS the music ceased and the dancers
came pouring out into the cool night

Together they strolled off through the
crowd, disappearing in the direction of
the north wing of the hotel.

something had happened to the must

and searched out Chiquita with his
eyes. There she was seated with her
father, Colonel Bland from Gatun and
some high officer or other-probably an
admiral.
Kirk heard the orchestra leader tap
his music stand; then as the first
strains of the waltz foated forth he
stepped into the ballroom and made
toward his sweetheart. All at once he
found that his brain was clear, his
heart beats measured.
OF course she saw him coming. She
had waited all the long evening for
this moment. He saw her hand 1utter
uncertainty to her throat; then as he
paused before her she rose without a
word. His arm encircled her waist.
her little cold palm dropped into his as
lightly as snowflake, and they glided
away together. He found himself
whispering her name over and over
again passionately.
