Tony, still wearing the pert little
Powered cretonne apron which
Rhode had lent her, opened the
door to Dick Talbot and his banker
father, her head high, her blue eyes
challenging.
Hello. Tony!" Dick muttered, his
black eyes sliding away Shamefaced-
~ from the proud challenge in hers.
And, Good morning, Antoinette, "
the banker greeted her with pom
pouS cordially.
GOOD morning. Tony answered
CURLY. Won't you come in? Sorry,
but the JonsonS are at church"
Splendid? It's YOU we came to
see. Antoinette," Mr. Talbot an
Swered heartily, but behind octagon-
shaped glasses his cold grey eyes
were not smiling.
Don't be so stiff. Dad Every
one calls her Tony" Dick pro-
tested
Not every one Dick" Tony cor
rected him crIsply. I'm Tony only
TO my friends e.. Won't you sit
down. please?'
The banker waited tremendously
until Tony had dropped to the
couch in the JonSon living room,
then. turning his back upon a chair
she had waved him 20, he took his
place beside her, his big superbly
tailored body dwarhng her tall slim
ness
Looking like a petulant little boy,
Dick slumped into an armchair
nearby.
so you're Tony to your friends,
my dear?" the big man asked with
q benignant smile. In that case
then. I shall have TO forego the
pleasure Of calling you by that
charming name-Antoinette. For I
hope to be included in your list Of
friends until I can claim an even
closer relationship, Tony

Then her blue eyes flashed 4 scorn-
full challenge TO Dick, who could
meet it only fieetingly. Dick, look
at me! Have you told your father
about last night?"
It was the father who answered

Tony interrupted ruthleSsly: Il
suppose you think that Dick has
compromised me and that honor
demands that he marry me. If so,
that's nonsense. 1t was my sugges-
ton, not his, that I pay what Dick
calls my debt to him in that way,
rather than by marrying him.
please! Let me finish! I funked
it. There's no use in going into
my reasons now. I Simply found
couldn't go through with it, and
ran away, Naturally I expected to
marry him if he still wanted me to.
I did not expect you to approve
now. any more than you did when
my mother mistakenly announced
my engagement to Dick in June,
And I confess that I can't quite

er's gray eyes, but his voice was

DAMELA was stirring rock candy
i in her denlitasse when Stephen
joined her IN the dining room Of the
JudSon hotel
She ordered n cup for him and
Stephen told the waiter 20 bring a
regular size. Pamela filed il twice
for him.
"Nervous2" she smiled at him
across her own particular table
which had fresh cut flowers on it.
Bad day. Stephen replied
Pamela pOUted You don't look at
ell as If you liked being engaged, 81
she said chiIdishly.
The remark irritated Stephen, it
always made him impatient when
Pamela stepped out Of character. He
preferred her as the ruthless little
demon he knew she was under her
exterior Of angelic beauty
But the beauty made him tOler-
ant And tonight She had enhanced
1t with all the art and skill she
could command from high-priced
beauty specialists.
She had slept until midday. golicd
all the early afternoon TO wake her
up. and then had come home to
give herself over to becoming a
fairy princess for the night.
Suddenly stephen reached out
and touched her hand. IF I lose

Pamela looked at him in aston

suspiciously like a person with a
past"
Not a past" Stephen condded,
"hut a darned uneasy present with
a most uncertain future
Pamela laughed Don't let it
get you" she advised, marriage
isn't such a responsibility any more.

Stephen groaned. He'll get you

you marry a man with no future.
