Rocky treasured her. "Oh that
isn't very likely, Doris. You've
been badly shocked. Perhaps you
were In an accident"
1--WE thought that If 1 could see
the papers perhaps there would be
something In them that would help
me to remember"
"That's an idea. Supposing we

It's much cooler now" He walked
to the long windows and looked
down into the street. ave can ride
around or something" He looked
at her over his shoulder. would
you like to 60 and see some girls
waving their legs around in the
theater? Please, let's"
She laughed. "Of course; I'd love
| to-"
"Then we're off. won't be two
shakes"
But it was later than they
thought when they emerged finally
on the street. They rode over to
Broadway in a cab, buying the
World-Telegram from a newsboy.
In the lobby Doris had a moment
to look it over but she found moth
ing that reused her memory.
Il can't get over the way you

Nothing seemed to rouse any
echo. But did see one comforting
thing-an advertisement by Reno

in the back of the theater that can't
take their eyes off you"
"Where? Perhaps they know me?'
Doris screwed around hopefully.
but the curtain was rising.
AS they came out Of the theater
the street was filled with people in
evening dress, the women holding
their short gay jackets about them.
"You know, everybody is staring
at you," said Rocky teasingly as
they stood beside the curb. ..
She looked up at him smiling.

"Where are they?"
"Hey, wait a minute, here's our

in and don't jump away like that
again. I'm a nervous fellah."
"But those women
Hop in" He lifted her gently of
her feet and set her in the cab. A
minute later he was beside her.
But Rocky-if those people were
pointing me out 1t must have been
for some reason"
Rocky settled himself beside her
and drew out cigarette. "Well.

The cab had stopped at a red
