YOU say goes about anything like that.
Steve. I'm for anything that looks good
to you"
CTEvE danced the first dance with
- Trudy of course. when they got TO
the club. And then he and some other
men cot together in the locker room
and got to talking. and 1t was all OF
an hour and half before the con-
sciences of some of them drove them
back to the floor. Steve wasn't worried
he never got any lectures from Trudy.
He got back, as it happened, just as
Combe cut in on Bill Thorpe, who was
dancing with Trudy at the moment,
And something about the way Combe
did it rasped him And then-Trudy--
he didn't like the way she smiled as
she yielded herself to Combe and went
off with him. She oughtn't-oh, 1t
sounded silly. he knew. but she oughtn't
to look so pleased, Not with chap
they'd talked about the way they had
about Combe at dinner.
And he wanted to dance with her
himself, anyway He thought Of cut
ting in. But he wouldn't do that; he
never did. unless she wanted to get
away from a man she didn't like. and
signaled him. So he resigned himself
to wait till the beginning Of the next
dance. But then. when he went to look
for her, he couldn't find her. She and
Combe had disappeared. somewhere,
and they didn't come back for three
dances. Why in the world did Trudy
want to go of with fellow like that?
He decided to ask her.
But he didn't. when his chance
came. Because Trudy, when he found
her again. was all white and trembly.
He hadn't seen her look like that since
the day of Betty's wedding She was
shaken: when they danced she lost the
beat two or three times-Trudy. the

He stopped. He stood looking at her.

A great hand fell on Steve's shoulder
and he was wrenched away from Trudy.

You will, will you?" said Steve.
Trudy screamed. But Steve slipped out
of Combe's grasp and faced him, his
fists doubled up, ready to fight. He was
another person. fiery. dominant.

Just for a moment Combe hesitated.

THE WEDDING GUESTS


"Combe?" said Mr.. Ware. "He must
have been away three or four years.
Strange life he leads"
And he sighed little.
II think it's disgraceful" said Mrs.
Ware. HE has no sense of responsible
ity. There's that house of his, stand
ing empty all the time, with half a doz-
en- servants eating their heads off, just
so 1t can be ready for him when he
chooses to drop in! They say he never
even lets them know he's coming
everythings got to be just so all the
time"
II guess he can afford It," said Steve.
Hes pretty rich, isn't hep"
He probably hasn't any idea how
rich he is" said Mr.. Ware. Where's
he been this timer"
Mongolia" said Trudy. unexpectedly.
Hes been exploring lot of country
back there they don't know anything
about. He doesn't just waste his time.

Il don't know what you call it," said
Mrs. Ware
Hes a pretty good scientist, I i'm

longs to a lot of societies, here and
abroad, and he writes"
II don't know anything about that"
said Mrs. Ware. But a man in his
position ought to marry and have
children. A man with his wealth owes
something to the community"
II don't really know him." said
Steve. Il was Just kid when he was
around here last. You didn't know
him either, did you. Trudy?"
'Yes-T did-a little" she said. II

night before he went away. 1t was the

Ware, with pursed lips. Some people.
understand. say he has charm. think
he's just savage"
The talk went on like that. Steve
didn't pay much attention, really; he
wasn't interested In Combe. He was
thinking about something else, anyway;
something about which he and Trudy
talked as they drove over to the club.
He had chance. he thought, to buy a
piece of land on which, later, they might

And finally she just stopped.
do you mind If we don't go on,
Steve?" she said Tim tired. And
plcase-I'd like to go home. You can
come back, if you want tots awfully
early. But
He was scared. This wasn't like
Trudy bit. And he thought she must
be Ill. But she only laughed when he
said so, and said she was perfectly all
right. And she did seem to feel better
when they we're in the car driving
home And, when they got to her
house. she didn't get out Of the car.
II don't want to go in right away"
she said. Turn off your lights and
let's just sit here in the car for a
while
So he did. and she sat very close to
him and drew his arm about her and
kissed him. 1t wasn't like her at ALL
I'm so glad I've got you'll" she said.
We'll. that's the way / feel about
you. too" he said, and his arm tight
ened about her.
THEN the next night, when he went
l. around to Trudys after dinner
Combe was there sitting on the porch
with her. Trudy jumped up quickly
when she saw him and kissed him. and
that was funny; she never did things
like that, as rule.
Il don't think you know Mr.. Combe,
do you, Steve?" she said. This is
Steve PARROT, my fiance--"
Combe got up and grunted. and held
out his hand, and Steve realized. Just
too late, that Combe was one of those
men who don't feel they're really shak-
ing hands with you unless they break
a couple of small bones when they do
it. And then Combe sat down and
went on with what he had been say
ing.

She stopped abruptly.
"Oh. I'm sorry--I truly am, Steve,
she said. II needn't be beastly to you,
Just because Z"
That's all right" he said. 1t was
hard to divert Steve's mind, once 1t set
out upon track of thought. Gosh
I don't know--it might be so. at that:
about the bouquet. She's the only girl
I ever knew who could throw straight.
"Oh. Steve" Trudy laughed at hirn'
No" he said. But that was dirty
trick. If she really did that l guess
maybe she did, too"
They sat still. then. for while. And
though neither of them really noticed 1t
his arm was still about her and she
still leaned against him. Steve sighed
deeply.

presently, "a chap always goes away

she laughed excitedly.
