well, you having a good time
asked Sledge, sitting comfortably IN
the seat Mr.. Watt had just vacated.
"The time of my life she assured
him, with happy animation.
That's the verdi he heartily ap-
proved. eff there's anybody here you
want just tell Cameron. If he don't
trot 'em right over, tell me-
"The mayor has been very KIND,
acknowledged Molly, beginning TO
wonder.
He's got his ORDERS returned
Sledge complacently. LET me see
your dance program and he took it
from her lap. II thought so,' he
commented. "There's dark horse
turned up and YOU didn't get him.

"A ringer" he explained. l@ora
Bunnchase, Andrew Lepton, the big
coffee moncpolist. sneeked him IN
here under On alias. and nobody's on"
He puzzled over the card moment.
Excuse me till l fix it," and he stalk
ed away.
Molly sat silently, allowing a cold
wave of humiliation slowly 10 cnlli
her soul. Why, Sledge had carefully
prearranged her triumph of the even
Ing. He had assumed control OF her
dance card and of her succession OF
delightful tet-a-tetes He had driven
the star performers into her net, as If
they lhad been droves of sheep. True.
men had sought her second time OF
their own accord, because of that
charm which she knew she possessed;
a vaguely understood attractiveness
which was more than beauty, more
than cleverness, more than mere sex
receptiveness. She had won by her
own power but Sledge had given her
the glorious opportunities. His ON
impotence began to annoy her and his
ruthlessness to infiame her already
inflamed resentment.
