3 there seemed no occasion to do so.
They had good seats and sumptu-
/ Gus supper. Huck was the perfect
most, a little cider and more formal
than his guests, but Pamela saw
/ that he interested Margola not a
little.
Huck being her find, she felt i'm
( PEELED to keep him. Nothing do
ing" she declared when she heard
Marogla tell Huck she'd like to
dance with him. He's promised
not to dance with anyone but me"
And while the show was in pro-
gress and the lights were dimmed
she let him hold his arm on the
back Of her chair, with the tips of
his fingers touching her shoulder,
without pulling away.
Huck's petting certainly was tame,
she told herself, but a wee voice
whispered back that he hadn't start
ed yet.
/ DAMELA turned her head to look
at him and met his eyes full
upon her face. She could not read
them, but she knew that if she
could she wouldn't have found their
message tame.
Great idea, reviving the roof
garden show, isn't it?" she said
lamely
Are you having a good tine?"
Huck asked in return. Like it?"
Pamela nodded. The show was
good but it meant nothing as COM
pared to the thrill she was eX-
periencing through the knowledge
that this man beside her was fall
ing so hard he'd get to the point of
trembling over her opinion Of his
efforts to entertain her.
And when next they danced to-
gether and Huck held her closer she
dropped her head on his shoulder
and told herself she might be play
ing with fire but it certainly was
exciting. She had forgotten Steph-
en-, who had called the hotel and
found no one wished to speak to
him.
Harold, too, was succumbing to
Hucks campaign to win his con-
fdence. There was absolutely moth
ing about the fellow that was Of
fensive, so far as he could observe.
Great time he said to Huck
when they left the place, and in his
voice was admiration for a man of
power.
Another thing in Huck's favor in
Harolds eyes was the fact that
Huck hadn't once made a remark
that could be construed as lead
| to a person he intended to victimize.
Harold called Mildred's warning
imagination" when he thought Of
it later that night.
Huck had come up to Harold'S
room for a nightcap and Harold
had introduced Wall Street into the
conversation. Huck had not ap-
peared interested in the subject.
Pamela tells me you're broker"
Harold said finally.
Huck waved that aside carelessly.
ITO be frank with you, I've retired
and only take a flyer now and then
for the pleasure. You see, had a
run of luck in Chicago, and when I
got enough I quit"
4 don't see how you could" Har-
old remarked. Il like t. gamble and
I can't quit it."
We'll, old man, it was doctors
orders with me. Too exciting"
Harold looked concerned, ooh, I
see That's too bad"
Huck smiled as one afflicted try
ing to make an effort to be cheer
full.
Il thought so, too, until I found
that 1 could get a kick out of play
ing the ponies" he said lightly;
I'm pretty lucky at it, and it isn't
such a strain"
! Harold regarded him enviously.
My luck is rotten" he said gloom
lily. Then a brighter expression
passed over his countenarce. But
I haven't tried the ponies" he added
hopefully.
And that night when Huck left
Harold's rooms he did not go to his
own as he had said. Instead he took
a taXicab to an address in the West
FortieS,
