Captain Blake suddenly, before

The languid creature rose to

features. Even in speech she
reverted to type.

The chaos of Raquel's
thoughts began to take form.
She felt easier now that rea-
son had provided a solution
for the unexpected, the still
unbelievable change in the
course Of her carefully planned
life.
She busted powder over the
two crimson spots that stained
the accustomed pallor of her
cheeks. Then she went to
wake Greta.
NOW what's happened?"
groaned that unsympathetic
young imp of mischief. More

NO" Raquel smiled, perch

Greta leaped out of bed as
if a lump of ice had been
slipped between her and the
coverlet.
You're going to what?" she
gasped.
Marry Jerry Parker"
What makes you think
that?"
"He asked me tonight, or
rather this morning. While
we were having milk and
strawberries out beyond st.
Germaine. I accepted him."
For the love of-say, dearie,
stop kidding the shock troops.
Just because. you accepted him
doesn't mean anything. You've
said yes to better men. haven't
you? To save an argument?"
RaquelS face was as grave
as Jerry's had been.
This is real, Greta," she
said. I'VE re going to be mar

sailing for home the day after
that. Jerry is arranging it."

Whats the matter with that

the amazing news. "You GER

An Authority on Problems Of
Love Marriage

An Authority on Problems Of
Love Marriage
Are you like thousands Of
other young people Of your gen.
Grafton? That is, do you live
on thrills?
Or, at least, do you talk about
thrills pretty much all the time?
Do you go about looking for
people and experiences that You
think will thrill you, and do
you discard Just about every
thing that you think hasn't a
thrill in it?
In that case. I am interested
to know what it is that thrills
you.
1t goes without saying that
the chief thrills in everybody's
life are produced by love.
Love is the most powerful
battery in the universe, and the
things that love does to us are
more agitating and more deli
cious-and sometimes more ter
rible-than any other kick"
that life can give us.
A normal boy and a normal
gR4 find each other the most
thrilling objects conceivable.
About this there cannot be
any argument.
But people aren't in love all
the time. Even the youngest
and most thrill-hungry have
hours - days, weeks - unoccu-
pied by love.
What is it that thrills you
then?
Detective stories? Movles?
Compounds of mystery and love
and crime? Most young people
nowadays resort to one or the
other.
Or sport, perhaps? Undoubt-
edly great thrills are to be
found in the sport, whether at
first or at second hand. It's ex-
citing to play ball or to swim.
Or sometimes it would seem
that it's almost more exciting to
watch others play. Perhaps
you're one of the thousands of
young men and women who go
in hordes to football games and
who say at the time that that's
where they get the biggest
thrills of all.
Then there are many men
and few young women who
tell me that they find a great
kick in prize-fights. Am I

Raquel glanced up with a
start. Jerry's voice was sud
denly as grave as his eyes. His
gray-gray eyes that looked
straight and deep into her
black ones as if they would
push aside the sable curtains
and read all that was written
on her soul.
Why-why-Jerry-"
His eyes did not waver. They
were a deeper, a darker gray.
Fathons Of gray ocean depth
with the morning mist on it.
II had to come, RaQuel,"
he said. His voice was firm.
Resonant with purpose-paS-
sionate purpose. Paris was
the only place in the world
that had any meaning for me.
Can't you guess, dear girl,
why?"
She tried to speak. This
tightness in her throat. Strange
lights flickered behind the sable
depths of her eyes.
II didn't know" Jerry went
on, until you were gone. I
had no way of knowing. Things
have always come so easy to
me. I've had what I wanted.
Then, suddenly, I wanted you.
You were not there. The
miracle of you was revealed to
me in one glorious sweep Of
conscious desire-of poignant
want. Without you there was
no hfe-no living"
She tried to moisten her lips.
They were dry, burning dry.
"Raquel," he pleaded, his
voice still firm, but husky with
emotion, will you be my wife?"
Her black eyes widened un-
til they, too, were dark pools,
fathomS deep, with glowing em-
bers in their depths.
She heard a thin, small voice
say, Yes, Jerry" Was it her
voice-the voice of Rauuel Ro-
jos? Why, yes, it must have
been.
The words came involuntarily.
They had been waiting on the
tip of her tongue.
She had told Jerry Parker she
would be his wife. She was in
his arn1s-hungry arms that
pressed her so close that she had
tofling back her head to breathe.
She caught a glimpse of the red
dawn. vibrant, diaphanols above
her. Then the glory of it was
eclipSed by the face of a man,
flushed like the dawn with a
passion of desire to overtake the
new life that lay before him.
Jerry's lips closed over hers.
Tenderly at first. Then with a
rifling thirst that sought to drain
her heart of the love they
pleaded.
