Jones entered the blue roadster ant
sat close to the fur coat which Phi
had kept on all through the lont
nights ride.
With the feel OF her next to him
he got back all he had been longing
for; all he had never found since
that night when they took their frs
ride in the other blue roadster.

got you again. I'll never let you 60.

teeth out?" Pills voice was trium-
plant. He had arrived in time!
Malice laughed. 1t was the same
old incorrigible Wynne: the one she
had lost the night of the party.

"Natlee. darling. do you-can you
love such foolish. unworthy person
as I? If YOU can't, the world will
be a living hell to me. I know you
deserve some better man. and l
think | could have given you up to
Rod, if you had told me you loved
him. but l can't think you love Jerry
Kenyon, and I'm going to take you
away from him.
I am going to keep you forever
