CHAPTER VIII
ON the drive back to camp from
~ the Rolling Stone Inn Alester
asked Jerry to 60 with him to
Leontine's party.
Jerry scarcely knew what to say.
She wanted to 60 she'd never
been to real party where the men
wore evening clothes and the WON.
en- had on low cut dresses. More
over she thought It would be un.
gracious on her part to refuse I'm.
less she had a real reason for not
wishing to go.
Alester had surprised her With
his unexpected solicitude when she
came down from Leontine's room.
I'm thoroughly ashamed OF my
thoughtlessness." he told her when
they were In the car. Jerry won.
dered for a moment II Dan Harvey
had said anything to him about her
condition while she was upstairs
with Leontine. Dan was not there
when she and Leontine came down
and no one spoke Of him.
Had she looked around when she
and Alester drove away Ia the black
roadster she might have seen the
car Dan had used to bring DR.. Bel.
den to camp parked OF ct one side.
"A few minutes after Alester's
motor roared away from the inn
Dan left the place where be had
stood leaning against 4 stone cop.
ing. putting on cold pipe. He got
into his car and drove leisurely In
the direction Alester and Jerry had
taken. ~

tines party.
"Why' r.. l don't know"
Jerry stammered. 7 Inwardly she
was asking herself why she was
being such 9 fool. OF course she'd
60. Wasn't It just what she's been
planning for? Better. evenl
''Of course ! know you must have
lost most OF your wardrobe when
your tent was torn to pieces" hs
said. to afford her pretext for &C
cepting an evening outfit from him.
He doubted II she'd ever owned
an evening dress-M0rtls had
gratuitously informed him Of their
connection with Fane's department
store-but he could not crudely
offer to buy her enc. he understood.
You must let me replace every.
thing you lost" he went on. Its
bad enough to have made you sui.
fer without putting you to any
financial loss"
