 CHAPTER xxXIf
 v For several moments there was no reply. Sheiln, waiting tremu. f0usiy, wished suddenly that she had not tolcphoned. But perhaps Jerry was not nt home. That would Do better. She glanced at her watch and saw that 1t was not yet I2 o'clock. If Jerry wns not nt homo she sould leavo q message and ho couId call her later.
 Yes, that would Do bettofi
 {, Then all at once the wire became alive again. It throbbed with that exaggerated, yet padded sound Of footsteps approaching tho instru. filent at tho other end of tho con nection.
 M Would 1t be tho man sho had just talked to or Jerry himself? Surely at this hour Jerry would be at the factory.
 !, But it was not tho buffers voice that reached her. It did not seem to Do Jerry'B Volco olther. A mans voice but n BtranRerB. IIo said, "Bheiln? Well, how do you d0?"
 "Jorry"
 z, It was not q stranger, after all. It was Jerry himself. He spoke again but thero was no Gordiallty an his tone. They were casual MeaninglosB.
 "It's --- it's Sholla," sho repeated absurdly. How could sho Do Bo 3nnne2 Of course no know who wns speaking. Ho had called hcr by
 "Yes?" The samo tono. noncom- initial, impersonnl.
 "I'm playing nt tho Raymond theater, Jorry," She laughed shak. fly. "I'd liko Co sec you"
 "YeBY" It was n question this tjme, not merely a rising infection.
 "Yes. I'm in 'fino F0athers',"
 1T believe l did n0tic0 m adVor. tisenent tho othOr day"
 But could ths ronlly Do Jerry Why, Jorry loved hcr! .He had told her B0, H0 had prhGtl- eaily asked her to marry him, flo hndn't actually said th0ge words, NheIln admitted to herself, but she had been sure that ho meant thom.
 She could not understand this ehango. Mother could sho re. proach him. sheIla sat thor0 look. ing foolIshly into the telephone Thore was nothing more to Do said. apparently. What should Hhe do? She was completely Bh0 hnd glV0n Jerry m opportunity Co ask Go call and he chose to ignore it. There was n0ths ing now Co Do said.
 And yet Sheiln heard her own voice. "Jerry," Hho wns gnylng, Eve are leaving nt midnight toe night. I'd like to sec you before ] A long pause, throbbing, Thon tho reply came "oh, ] aeo' Yes, were eoolly courteous "Whcro aro you dlning?"
 yHVllb tVlu utI1 UT W NVltD ''hb shook in spite of herself, Was Jerry going to invite her 10 dinner? Tho show clOB6d nt G quarter of II and the train left at midnight. There would scarcely bs tlm0 for her to sec him. They could have only c few hastily exchanged words at the stage door.
 Usually Bhoilh dined in her hotel room but tonight she would rhange her plans. Hhe Hid, "Iiero at the Grandm0re. In tho grill"
 There was another pnus0 and then Jerry said, I'Il seo # can't drop around"
 "Can you call me later At the hotelY" she asked. All pride h6d 1sd. BheiIa was c woman in love, pleading.
 "til try to-"
 She hung ID the receiver with conflicting emotions. Jerry had not been cordial. NeV6rth0lGBa hB6 F6al- fged that no might not hhV0 b6Gn alone. Perhaps h0 had used that cool tone and manner because bG knew someone was listening,
