martie was not without masculine
charm. In evening clothes, as grand
marshal of the annual ball and benefit
of the Plumbers Union, Local NJ.
673, he-well, Denise Luydon had rea-
son TO look like the kitten who has
swallowed the canary.
For the sake of Denny he even
dared the depths of Marston's bargain
basement where she was AT Home
from eight-thirty to fiye-thirty every
week day.
sob, I'll say you've got him
hooked acknowledged pert-lipepd,
dark-haired Number S33. My Marty
wouldn't come down here for couple
of farms. l hope" she added gratuit-
ously, that you aren't throwing your
self away ON him though. If l had
your looks I'd marry a million. You
could"
But Denny was beginning TO sus-
pect that she would rather have him
without million than any other man
with. The only trouble with Jimmy
rs a lover was that he was red-headed
and you never knew when he was 60
ing up in the air.
-And L. as Denny admitted to
Number S33, shave some red in my
hair myself"
Jimmy had just bought a second
hand flivver with what is known as a
speedster body. He explained that he
had picked it up dirt cheap.
Its not good enough for you,
Kid" he said huskily. And neither
am /. You ought to be travelling
around in a Lenhard Double-Six."
The smile she flashed at him was
worth travelling more miles TO see than
that old psuedo-speedster of Jimmy's
/, had left ia it.
"Pd look fine in a Lenhard Double
Six. wouldn't II" she Knocked. Lets
So!'
Lets" agreed Jimmy, with re-
-Aewed buoyancy.
= This made it unanimous save for
the car. Its misbehavior, coupled with
the imperinence of the younger set
Ever in evidence in the neighborhood,
had removed some of the sheen from
sthe morning, a Sunday in May. But
the irreparable might not have hap
pcned if, after they had swung into
the Fens, a limousine had not
rolled ny.
"Is that a Lenhard Double-Six!
demanded Denny, with interest.
Jimmy gave it an austere side
flance. "Yep," he assented in tone
that should have warned her.
. I'D like" she murmured, "to ride
in a car like that-if only JUS
oncew
s"I don't doubt It," continued Jim
my, unpleasantly. Then as Dem!
looked at him wide-eyed with sur
prise, he added: Don't let me stol
you!"
Denny's lovely eyes narrowed. I'D,
you mean you think couldn't get tn
Chance" she demanded forthwith.
Not at ALL" he retorted. but sh
knew he meant her to believe jus
that.
4 The pseudo-speedster speeded on bu
romance had blown a tire. And so
was that Denny delivered her ultima
fum. II wouldn't marry a man witt
a temper like yours for a million,
flared Denny. "If you'll please stol
this-this car, I'll walk home"
I'D like to see a GIRL" observed
Jimmy, who wouldn't marry any
thing with a million tagged to IL
That's what all girls want nowadayl
money"
care you going to let me out?" de
6anded Denny frigidly.
"a He drove her home instead.
aSorry to have butted in where
wasn't welcome" he announced. III
see it don't happen again."
.That," sweetly, sis dear Of you
Mr.. Cromartie. Katie Kennedy woul'
1oye to go for a ride with you. VIII!
don't you take her?'
Jimmy stepped on the gas.
: Hell be around again." Denny as
-sured herself serenely. "And mayb
I'LL be at home and maybe i won't.
Some hours later Denny was seated
sby, her window, overlooking the alley
s-drying her hair, when bearer o
-tidings approached.
Thought I'd drop in" said the lat
ter, too casually. Say, Jimmy tool
Katie Kennedy riding this afternoon.
> II told him to-" Denny riposted
-serenely. and added: "Jimmy's becom,
an awful bore lately"
She maintained the pose admirably
too, until her visitor departed. Blu
then Denny's pretty mouth set grimly
80 he took her." she murmured
-@Well, he can have her. l shout,
s-worry!"
I'D like Denny informed Numbe
-S31 the next day, ito have one o
-those guys that write movies abou
.millionaires wandering around bar
gain Easements stand around here
while. I'll bet their feet would ge
more tired than mine do before the
say one."
Number S33 gave her a quic
-glance.
Have you quarreled with Jimmy =?
she asked with interest.
I'm through with him." amende
denny with dignity.
Number S33 giggled. "And no
syou're after a milionaire?"
Denny smiled in spite Of hersel
-STll admit / don't see any standin
-around in line. But believe me, if
got a chance"
Abruptly she broke off and {
sabruptly her expression changed
that she looked more like q ros
-clierub listening TO some celesti
scboir than a shop girl who-the trut
