They saw thousands of light, hun dreds of balloons. Suddenly Tony's eyes fell on a blond girl sitting op- posite them alone. She was far too pretty to be alone, he thought Tony commented on her plight 10 Reggie. Then the dance ended and the hall was flooded with light
 T think" said Reggie, we've made a mistake"
 They blinked across at the girl. Decidedly embarrassed she obi ously was out of place in the night club.
 Look" exclaimed Reggie. "She has sleeves"
 Sleeves" ejaculated Tony.
 Her gown" Reggie continued Hooks as if 1t had been designed in the ark. How did she get here?'
 Search me" said Tony. That's the type of girl Aunt Ethelberta thinks I should court. She says may bring decent girl to ner house for lunch some Sunday"
 Better make her acquaintance, T Reggie suggested.
 T might. but"
 GO on," urged Reggie. Bet yol haven't the nerve"
 Tony would have flown his air. plane straight to Greenland for . sixpenny bet. Moe than once he had risked his life for a, shilling. He rose to his feet and staggered slowly to the table where Mary Lou sat.
 "P-please don't think me imperti nent, but I'd like to dance with you," Tony ventured. Mary Lou, mortified because Brynmor had left her, could onll feel grateful that at least one mar wished to dance with her. Here she thought. was one way to ge even with Brynmor. When ht came back. she could say, "Hav' you been long? I've been dancing with this gentleman. Hes ever s' nice''
 I'd be glad to-" she told the sur prised Tony. Jumping to her feet she gave herself into his arms.

 "TOO DARN NICE"
 Tony danced away with Mary Lol

Brynmor glowerea. Who was that fellow? Know him before?"
 No" said Mary Lou, but he's rather darliag-dances divinely."
 "Dances?'' snorted Brynmor. He doesn't look as if he could walk straight"
 What do you mean?" Mary Lou's cheeks flushed,
 T mean the fellows drunk. No nice girl would dance with him"
 Mary Lou laughed.
 Thank heavens, I'm no longor nice"
 At least" he said stiffly, q feel responsible to your father for the acquaintances you make. I brought you here"
 Yes" said Mary Lou. You brought me. and treated me as though I had the plague. Then, because I danced with some one else, you think you have a right 10 protest You haven't. I was keen on you, but you've cured me of that. I'm going to enjoy these two weeks in town, but I'll enjoy them without you, thanks"
 Before he could stop her, Mary Lou rushed oyer to the table where Tony and Reggie sat. Brynmor rose to go after her. 1 Perhaps his behavior had been bit thick. He began to feel guilty.
 As he approached their table, he heard Mary Lou say to Tony T couldn't stand him any longer. Oh, he's handsome enough. but he bores me stiff"
 Brynmor stopped in his tracks So that's what she thought of him. And all the time he had felt sorry for her
 Come, Mary Lou" he said sharply, I'm going to take you home"
 Sorry, I'm not ready yet" Mary Lou said casually.
 'TooJle off, old chap" Tony said airily. The lady's not interested" Brynmor struck first. Tony felt a fist in his face. He blinked once, and the next minute Brynmor lay sprawling on the dance floor Dancers crowded around them Mary Lou shrank back into her

 I'll dash off and pick up 8. cou- pie seats for theater," Brynmor said, Be back for you in an hour. Is that 0. k. 2"
 Wonderful" Mary Lou ex- claimed, and Brynmor was gone 50 quickly that she was left bewil- dered
 We're strange to each other" she unused. But I'm sure it will be different when we've seen more of each other"
 Yet she couldn't deny there was a difference between this Brynmor and her summer hero. He hadn' t kissed her, hadn't even called her pet names as he used to do-last summer.
 T wonder-" she began, Then she shook her head stubbornly. Nothing can possibly be wrong not when I've counted so much on these two weeks in town"
 Meanwhile Brynmor had hastencd to Clarice's flat. He meant to stay five minutes, just to explain things
 Clarice danced at the Emerald Dragon" newest and smartest of the night clubs in Soho. Brynmor went every night to watch her, to dance with her, and to take her home. He knew little or nothing of Clarice's past, but her clever indit- ference had Intrigued him.
 Brynmor found her curled up On divan. Her room, richly fur nished, was a symbol of the luxury that Clarice loved.
 T suppose I must look after her. Brynmoc said, as he finished the story of Mary Lou's arrival,
 Are you sure" Clarice ra- marked. that you're not the least bit keen on this Mary Lou?"
 Nonsense, Clarice! How can you say that?' Brynmor exploded. You know :"
 She looked at him with those SldIllIS, udIt -tlOStu eyes.
 What girl ever knows? This girl thought she knew, too. Other wise she never would have come"
 But you're different, Clarice. IT love you" Brynmor, though only E., was desperately in earnest.
 We think we're different, but I wonder. ."
 Stop talking that way. You're perfect ideal"
 Why don't you bring this Merv Lou to the Emerald Dragon? I'd Ike to see her" Clarice murmurej. Why should I be jcalous?"
 You shouldn't" Brynmor re- joined. T will bring her"

 CHAPTER 1 HyiPV TOT APpJTEC


 Brynmor WhittamOre paced inl- waiting for the most wonderful girl In the world-or so he had thought last summer. It was winter now. What a difference those few months had made!
 Mary Lou was on her way, def- nitely and unavoidably. She would arrive at any moment. full Of en- thusiasm and affection. And she would expect him to reciprocate. That was what annoyed Brynmor How does a fellow greet girl toward whom he has turned cold?
 Last summer Brynmor had thought he loved Mary Lou Leslie. and he hadn't hesitated to tell her so His letters recently had been cooler much cooler. but the naive Mary Lou hadn't taken the hint.
 Here was the holiday they had planned SO agerly-only last sum- mer. What a lot had happened Gince then. A lifetime-Clarice.
 Brynmor couldn't think of Clarice lay without a breathless feeling that frightened the muscles in his throat. Clarice, with her fiery red hair and provoking half-shut amber eyes, affected men that way
 And now. within few minutes, he must face Mary Lou. < Idiot that was!' Brynmor nut tered Should have known a sum mer filtration wouldn't last. Just a blue sky, a sea breeze and a girl eny girl, so long as she's pretty"
 Mary Lou had been pretty in her fresh, unsophisticated way. But, oh, how green,
 Why had this ghastly holiday ever been planned? Yet, Brynmor re- called. he had suggested it orginal ly. Mary Lou had cousins in town; he had urged her to visit them. He would take her to London's best theaters, London's leading dances.
 He stared moodily at the station ceiling, disgusted with the whole sit uation.
 Hello, Brynmor, were you ex- pecting me to drop from the ceil- ing?" He turned, startled. "Jove, Mary Lou"
 There she was. smiling uncertain ly, flushed with embarrassment. to scan the passengers as they stepped from the train.
 Had q nice trip?" .Brynmor reached for her dingy satfhel,
 There ere was an uncomfortable pause.
 Should I kiss her?' Brynmor thought. Gosh, shes worse than I imagined. Where did she get that antiquated coat?'
 The coat wasn't London. It pro- claimed to the world its provincial origin. It was much too long,
 It's great that you're here.' Erynmor made another valiant effort as he hailed a cab.
 Isn't it? I've been so looking forward to it."
 T suppose your cousins will ex pect you to spend tonight with them" he hazarded as they drove toward Chelsea. "Too much to hope for any of your time this first night"
 "W-why IT wrote and explained I was coming mainly to see you Mary Lou faltered.
 Mary Lou's cousin, Jay lived in Chelsea. She had married Jerry Jerome, who orked on a. morning newspaper. Jay, who kept a small, exclusive gown shop, made more money than Jerry did.
 Neither Jay nor Jerry was home when Brynmor and Mary Lou ar rived, but Jay had neft note eX- blaming that both of them were

AMONG US

We have among Us" today an
other senior, Bruce Percy Erick-
son. We've always wondered il
Percy's real name was Percival
but he insists it is not.
Percy was born in Spokane. Sep
TENDER 10, 10 years ago. In 1914
he went to Palouse, and later to
Yakima, where he spent his first
year of school. He has spent the
rest of his life in Kennewick. Per-
cy says he hasn't done anything
spectacular since he entered here,
but "cut-up", however we have
heard rumors of the origin of the
static on radios near his home.
Percy is very interested in radio
and hunting. He is pursuing the
scientific course and agriculture.
He will probably further his ed
ucation along agricultural lines
next year at Pullman.
Altogether Percy's a great sport
we wouldn't know how to get
along without him, so here's to Per-
cy! He'll pillow a deep furrow in
this world.
