asked toward IL o'clock, when

Sally's ear drums.

why she had suddenly lost her
sense of enjoyment in the Blue
Lagoon. For the first time in her
life she had found no pleasure at
all in dancing, that night.
For months the Blue Lagoon
had been sort of ragtime Para

had Charlestoned and one-stepped

But now 1t seemed tawdry and

she was younger than. most OF
the girls dancing around her.

in her ear, and she turned
sharply to find a large, blond,

behind her.
His smiling face was familiar,

Then she felt his hand on her

Sally remembered him then. and

Sally could feel his gray eyes
going over her face. They seemed,
somehow to be stroking it like
caressing fingers. They moved
on, over her neck to her slender,
light figure.
She moved away from him an
inch or two. She hated to be

Don't you want to dance with

she shook her head and looked

HER heart sank at the thought,
Abut she was relieved to see that
George was perfectly composed.
Probably the drink she had taken

had.
Protectiyely Georges face had
taken on an almost sullen ex-

she said aggressively. Weren't

She had certainly lost and lost

ton had only decided George more
strongly in her own mind to go
her own way without advice or

Once more AIMS thoughts
turned to Bill Warren. She could
picture his good.natured face,
with its wrinkled, frowning fore
head, its serious, honest eyes, it's
cheerfulness. its harmless. mans
vanity.
Suddenly she began to smile. and
her smile was one Of tenderness.
Then abruptly she remembered
that last insult George had flung
at her in the fullness of her rage.
Ann and Bill Warren-what was
1t that made her heart leap at
the thought, made her feel guilty
and confused, happy and unhappy?
Was she really blind? Was she
urging Bills case 40 much only
because in her heart of hearts he

for the privilege Of comforting
him. yes, even Of mothering
him.
She knew with wise instinct
how easy it would be for her to
manage Bill. to guide him. with.
out ever letting him know that he
was being guided.
So once again the new thought
stole across the borders OF her
mind. =
But it was Bill himself who
shattered it. ANN" he said sud.
denly, what am I going to do
about Georgie?"
"I don't know, Bill"
His voice was quite dry and
hoarse. He was gripping the
edge Of the table so tightly with
one hand that the fingers OF it
grew white.
I'm so crazy about her I can't
even think about anyone else.
And she doesn't care q boot
about me, I know that. No use
kidding myself. She
doesn't, does she?"
He asked the question with
abruptness, denying all his surety.
begging for a grain Of comfort.
Ann could hardly meet his eyes
because her own were swimming.
She doesn't know her mind
yet. Bill-that's all. She's only

her? Couldn't you make her

late, while he still loves you, why
don't you marry Bill?"

Her anger seemed to rise now to
a point where she had lost con.

myself away on Bill Warren?
Listen The way you talk sounds

There was biting rancor in

knew what she was saying.
But something seemed to stab
Ann at that last oltburst of bit

troll herself.
She thought she could hear
George weeping softly inside the
room now. A clock licked in the
lower hall. A bed creaked as
someone turned restlessly. No
doubt the sounds of their voices
had carried. and the next morn
