ed on Ann with an intense and
almost sorrowful look, as she
joined Rob once more. Across
Rob's shoulder she saw him watch
ing her still, not listening to
Ellen, chattering desperately at
his side.
Was it possible that Jimmy
really was deeply in love with
her?
In love with her a little, yes;
but not really helplessly, burn
ingly in love, Ann decided. And
il you weren't in love that way,
you weren't in love at all. Why,
Jimmy was so silent with her
if he were really terribly fond Of
her, he'd have told her so in all
sorts Of ways, wouldn't he?
And the way his face flushed
DULY sometimes when he stared
at her. the way a slight tremor
passed over him when she was
close to him-things like that
were merely indications of his
Shyness.
But all during that dance, she
thought of Jimmy. and though
she was afraid Of making a fool
of herself. of thinking a man in
love with her because he was d
trifle interested. she knew at
last, without knowing how, that
Jimmy Mccormick really adored
her.
Then she felt angry and con.
fused and pleased and disturbed
all at once, for she was perfectly
sure she could never love him.
''If l ever do fall she reflected,
cit will be all at once and right
away and I've known Jimmy for
two years."
The music ceased. Rob and
Ann made their way back to the
table in the booth once more.
Jimmy cleared his throat. Look
here, Rob-" he said awkwardly,
you've got to see that both
these girls have a good time.

emotions. First, she remembered
how George had pleadingly

how she had ended by promising

up any more strangers. nor see

That promise. made with tear

three days. And tonight she had

time she was going to meet this

Like Ellen she had pretended

self for anything in the world,
but George hadn't scrupled to de-
ceive her.
She wanted to march over to
that booth, to confront George,
but the folly of such a course
stopped her. She was angry and
hurt.
If only George had come to
her, had told her that she really
liked the man she was with,
wanted to see him again, it would
have been all right. But to meet
him on the sly. to try to cheat
like this-that was what was so
unfair.
And the very fact she had said

Do you mind if I go home.
Jimmy-you don't dance-you

you? That wouldn't spoil the
evening for Rob and Ann"
Ann gazed at her with clear
eyes. She read the lie easily
enough. 1t was just one more
desperate attempt to take Jimmy
away, to be alone with him. to
do her best to enchant him. il
only by the trick Of calling up
his sympathy.
And naturally it was impossible
for him to refuse the request she
had Just made.
The evening was ending before IL
had begun. and ending badly.
Again Ann wished that she had
not come. Well, this way she
would probably get home sooner
herself. Not much fun dancing

she already had read his intention

So that was why Ellen didn't
want to go on to Hollis Park.
She wanted the chance to be
alone with Jimmy, and the dance
hall would offer her that.
But Ann merely nodded. "Per-

They had arrived early and as
yet the floor was uncrowded.
Ellen's hand was under Jim

air of having annexed him. So
it was that Rob Jerome caught

danced well. and he had numer-

"See you later. George" Ann
called, and turned her head away,
as if nothing at all had happened.

where George was sitting. George
said quickly:

But Mabel did not need to be

had paused in the doorway of
Beau's room, and her eyes were
like saucers as she stood there,
spellbound.

nothing about him made Ann
more sure than ever that George
felt guilty in her own mind, and
knew that Ann would never ap.
prove Of her escort.
Ann was recalled from her
thoughts by Rob Jerome's voice:
Whats the matter. little one?
Dreaming about something or
someone? You're not crazy about
Jimmy, too, are you? Good Lord,
IL so I better call this evening off
right away and go home and
cry"
It was hard to talk to him in
his own vein when her mind was
full of other things, and Ann felt
she was proving dull company.
But he only looked at her with
a quizzical grin:
"Well, you're yourself, anyway,
aren't you?" he said. And don't
mind me for being 80 flip. / really
like you. =" Lets dance"
The floor had gradually grown
more crowded. AIMS eyes roved
over the crowd. George and her
friend were no longer in their
booth. Had she seen Ann herself
and hurriedly departed, hoping
she hadn't been noticed? Or was
she among the dancers?
Then all at once Ann saw her,
her head thrown back. her eyes
half closed, the man with her
smiling and looking down at her.
