". And the burden of her prayer
was: Dear God. if Tony must
choose between two evils. make her
take the lesser one
Lying in bed in the dark, eX-
hausted but feveriShly wakeful,
Crystal thought back over the three
years she had known Tony Taryer,
hugging first this picture OF her,
now that bright vision TO her
breast. as if Tony had died that
night and could only live again IN
the memory of those who loved her.
Tony at Bradley. Slim. strong.
gay. generous. so popular that she
could hardly snatch moment to
study. Fifty girls with Tony Tarv-
er brushes initiating her haircuts,
her. slang. her clothes. her voice.
An adulation which Tony actu-
ally had not been conscious OF.
Tony spiIling out friendship, lend
ing money. throwing open the doors
of her wardrobe TO any girl who
wanted to borrow her clothes. Tony

and condolences upon that Hath

Crystal did not know she was
CRYING until hot tears dripped into
her ears. SplaShed on her pillow.
CRYSTAL became aware at last
that the house was very quiet. She
listened. wondering when The ra-
dio had been turned of and the
members of the family and OF the
house party had come up to bed.
She had been so sunk in misery
that she had heard nothing. But
now she listened intently, and
from below she heard the faint
rumble OF Nils Johnson's deep
voice, and the answering high
pitched music of Cherry'S. They
must be locking up for the night,
locking Tony out.
Suddenly the brooding silence
of the right was broken by anoth-
er sound-the low hum Of mo-
tor, the crunching OF snow under
tires. Crystal bit down on the
knuckles of her hand 70 keep from

Pamela forgot her before she
reached the elevator. She glanced
at her tiny Wristwatch and saw that
she was a few minutes late for her
double appointment.
All the better. She should have
made them wait longer; it would
have been more effective. But she
didn't want to irr4tate Stephen. He
wasn't so deeply in love with her
that he would not grumble when She
was late.
CHE stepped imperiously through
- the bronze doors and saw in a
G ance that both Stephen and Huck
were there, standing off and glaring
at each other in open dislike.
Both men moved toward her as
she paused and drew her wrap
tighter about her. Pamela smiled
up at Stephen without seeming to
see Huck.
But the latter had no mind to be
ignored. He stood before her and
bowed gravely, then he offered his
arm.
Stephen also Offered his, and
Pamela took it. Then Huck spoke
in a low, restrained voice. Haven't
YOU made a mistaken" he said. "Or
have I? You see, 1 understood you
to say you would meet me here for
dinner"
Pamela turned a supercillious
gaze upon him. Did 1 really?" she
said lazily.
You did" Huck answered quiet y,
land I object to being stood up"
Stephen flashed him an angry
glance. BE good enough to ad-
dress your objections to me-" he
said CURLY.
Huck returned his glance with
steady hostility. Why should II"
he challenged. My engagement is
with Miss JudSon."
But you can see that I'm going
out with Mr. Armitage," Pamela
said heartlesSly.
Are you?" Huck said, and there
was an undercurrent in the tone
of his voice that carried a hint of
threat to Pamela. Did you forget
about your date with me?" he went
on before she could answer.
Pamela laughed, but not very
easily. She had expected Huck to
allow her to sweep haughtily off
with Stephen while he stood, sur
priSed and WordleSs, properly in
his place" His quietness discon-
certed her.
You can see that she is going
with me- Stephen answered for
her, although I'm ready to with
draw without making a scene if she
she wishes to change her mind"
he added pointedly.
Huck bowed, accepting the re-
Duke, but in his eyes as they were
hidden from Stephen while his head
was lowered, there cleaned a dag
ger of hate that only great ef-
fort of will wiped out before he
looked up again.
Perhaps Miss Judson will do
me the honor of setting another
date for our little dinner" he said
suavely, though somewhat stiffly,
and Pamela felt sensation of
creepishness come over her as he
spoke.
Cant do it, Hucky," she said,
making a rather fiat attempt to
carry the words off lightly "You
see, this engagement I have with
Mr. Armitage isn't just for the
night. With half a chance it isn't
going to end until death do us
part"

she had made a date with Stephen
for the same night.

into her smooth hair.
She put up a hand to touch it
lightly and the jangle of her many
bracelets filled her ears with de-
hghtful music.

Stephen. would have a hard time re-
sisting her tonight, she thought.
Even her perfume was more beau
tiful than usual; something her
father had sent her from Paris
with an admonition to use it spar
ingly as it was priceless.
At first Pamela had thought the
gift nothing more than string OF
imitation pearls which she tossed
angrily aside with a mental note to
tell her misguided parent precisely
what an outraged daughter thought
of him in her next letter, or scrib-
bled note, to be more precise.

erect. The elusive odor had grown
stronger. Where could it be coming
from? She hadn't anything like it.
It was indesCribable.
Pamela glanced around inveSti-
gatingly and her eye fell upon the
string Of beads that she had flung
from her a moment before. They
lay near at hand, showing up plain
" against the black velvet carpet
