NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIV
TERRY opened her mouth to call
= for help but someone smothered
the cry by placing a hand over her
lips. She heard the laughter OF
several persons. A small crowd had
followed her abductors.
When they reached the edge OF
the pool. laughing. shouting, Jerry
felt herself lifted high and given
an upward toss. Then the sickeu.
Ing descent.
Splash!
The cold water revived Jerry In
q few seconds. She began to choke
and founder helplessly around IN
the shallow pool. An arm suddenly
reached forth and pulled her out.
Someone slapped her heartily on
the back. She coushed harder. and
found relief. Then 1t seemed to her

could have sworn that she heard
this person mutter:
you little. fool" In Z hoarss

Dams kisses ran like q warm, de.
licious stream from her lips to her
heart. almost bursting it with a
strange exultation she never had
known before.
But there was no answering pres.
sure to satisfy him. Jerry's eyes
were closed. her lips were still. She
was held in the grip Of . great
awakening 100 an awakening that
brought dismay. complete and dev.
astating. to replace tho paean Of
Joy that Dan had set to ringing IN
her heart.
She knew what was happening to
her -. she had been afraid OF
Z this since love first became q word
Of meaning to her. But no. no. she
wouldnt-she mustn't. It meant
