D ANSOME felt a great urge within him to
N protest against this-but his lips with the
utter selfshness of man in love- refused to
form the words.
And then after what seemed to have been
an interminable interval, Joan turned her head
Slightly and faced him again.
You must give me until tomorrow" she
said steadily IT cannot tell you-now."
He was conscious of an immense relief
"Yes, of course. I don't want to rush you
my dear" He leaned over and patted her arm
reassuringly. I'm fact, can give you longer
than until tomorrow I'm due to be in a
little place upstate tomorrow; and can't get
back until the following morning Thursday
morning He paused. May I-come and see
you again then?"
Just for a moment she hesitated; but then:
"On Thursday morning" she repeated.
Her answer seemed to give him a curious
sense Of confidence.
THANK you," he said gratefully
At exactly rs minutes past IL on the follow
ing evening-Wednesday evening-Ransome's
car pulled up outside the stage door of the
Magnus Theater
lust as he had told Joan ON the urevio1Is
evening. he had spent most Of the day in the
little place upstate" But slight reshuffling
of plans had enabled him to get back that
evening.
He passed in through the stage door and
made his way around to the dressing rooms.
The Magnus was treating its new star very
generously. In addition to a comfortably fur
nished dressing room quite close to the stage,
Joan's suite also included large sitting room
and smaller, but very convenient, ante-room.
Ransome approached the door Of the latter
and knocked. He waited for several moments
but there was no reply. He opened the door
The room was IN darkness Immediately op-
posite he could see family the white opal
glass panel of the dressing room door; but
this too. was in darkness. He stepped little
further into the room and turned to the left
toward the sitting room. And here he found
the glass panel of the door brilliantly flu-
minated.
With little sigh of pleased relief he COM
menced walking across the thick carpet He
had his hand raised and was about to tap on
the door, when the sound OF a voice in the
room beyond caused him to hesitate
And you've definitely made I'D your mind?
You're going to marry himp"
Ransome recognized Nigel Hannay's voice;
then he heard Joans reply.
Yes, Nigel am"
Hannays voice went quickly.

"Then there's only one thing for me TO do
III have to go to Ransome and explain mat
ters to him We can't go on
But Joan interrupted him.
IF you did that" she said quietly I'D hate
you"
There a dead silence Ransome stood
stih1y, his arm stin raised. like a craven
In stone, And then Hannay went on speaking
softly, coaxingly
But Joan, dear-you don't love him II
you did, II shouldn't mind quite so much
And You do love nae-you admit that yourseIf
Why, you married him you'd never be
happy. You'd just have to pretend you were
happy, and so would heater a little while"
He paused for a moment. JOAN dear-why
don't you turn him down right away?"
Another little silence; then the girls voice
again.
II couldn't do it, Nigel-realy I couldn't.
Not after everything he's done for me. And
last night-when told him didn't love him
his eyes-you should have seen them"
Then Hannays voice again.
But love you, too. Doesn't that count for
anything?"
1t was not until that moment that Ransome
realized he'd been eaVesdropping; even then,
the idea came to him vaguely and indistinctly
AS he turned away from the door, he heard
Joan's reply.
I'm sorry, dear-terribly sorry But you
sec"
He walked back across the room blindly-
like a man suddenly wakened from q long
sleep.
T WAS on Friday evening, just few min
utes before the curtain was due to rise that
Joan, Nigel Hannay and Rudy Iisle sat chat
ting together In Joans sitting room at the
theater.
Rudy Lisle happened to be speaking.
Gordon was saying to me only this morning
that If this show doesn't last another six
months, he'll eat his hat. And he's generally
a pretty good judge, you know
Hannay nodded.
What are you thinking of putting ON after
this?" he asked presently.
Rudy Lisle shrugged his shoulders
"It all depends" he said Another play Of
Ransome's, possibly"
Joan was frowning slightly

Rudy Lisle turned to her

But I thought he was coming back on
Thursday morning."

still there-Gordon had a letter from him this
morning"

Joan and Hannay exchanged glances.
But Rudy Iisle was busy fumbling In his
pocket.

But just at that moment, fortunately, Cor
don came back with the other script
D ANSOAdE took her to lunch
N You know" Joan said thoughtfully "I
have the uncomfortable idea that you and I
have wasted a perfectly good morning"
Ransome smiled.
Meaning to say that you didn't satisfy
yourself?" he asked
''No-not exactly that. But-Mr Gordon
and Mr.. LiSle-they didn't seem very enthusi-
astic, did they?'
Didn't you think SOP"
''WeI-were they?"
Ransome took a leisurely puff at his ciga-
rette.
MY dear" he said, I'm willing to bet any
thing you like that you won't still be living
in the Bronx say-four months from today"
Her eyes frightened suddenly.
"Then-you mean"
He nodded and smiled
"Oh, yes-they were impressed, all right
But If they'd been too enthusiastic about YOU
you might have wanted too much money"
She sank back in her chair
"And all this time I've been thinking I'd
failed you," she murmured
1t was not until about three months later
that Ransome summoned up sufficient courage
to ask Joan Meyrick to marry him.
"Green Fingers" the new play, had turned
out to be one of the hits Of the season. But
the success of the play had been at least
equaled by the individual success Of its lead
ing lady.
Ransome had dropped into the habit of
calling for Joan at the theater twice or three
times week after the evening performance
and driving her home In his car to her new
apartment ON Park avenue In return for this
service, he was taken upstairs into her taste
fully furnished little sitting room and given
coffee and whatever solid refreshment hap
pened to be available
1t was on one Of these occasions that he
remarked, There's something I've been want
ing to tell you-for quite long time"
Something In his voice caused her to glance
up at him swiftly
"Oh-I see" Her voice seemed suddenly a
little breathleSs. What Is it you-"
Ransome himself took deep breath
My dear" he said very simply, "I love you
Win you marry me?"
He was astonished, at first at the ease with
which the words had slipped out But In the
silence that followed them, he could feel his
heart pounding away desperately.
I'D do anything In the world to make you
happy" he added, after a moments silence
Joan turned to him impulsively
"oh, yes, I'm sure you would. But-you see
Il don't love you-in that way"
She saw the pain that fiickered into his

While the mile and q quarter race
was no longer the richest in the

while Gallant Sir was a standout in a
small field, the big 4-year-old colt did
his job handsomely in 2:02 SIS. He
cracked the record set by Phar Lap,

In overcoming surprisingly stiff compe-
tition.
With 10000 fans shouting encourage

Sir. Suddenly Gallant Sir laid
back both ears at q cluck from his
jockey. George Woolf. He was run
ming at top speed. He crossed the fin
ish line q moment later q length ahead
OF the hard-driven Waylayer. The rec
ord Of zoo As Phar Lap set in win

start IN America had been eclipsed.
In the stretch shuttle Lemon Hills
headed Loversall for third place. The
Meadowbrook stable filly, the first to
start in the handicap in the IA re-
newals, crowded Bahamas from the
money. Behind Bahamas ran Writ G.
Bowman. Satin Spar, The Nut and last
OF all, Whizz James, like Gallant Sir
from the Norman w. Church barn.
Whizz James, called Gallant Sir's
traffic cop, had served his purpose In
the early part of the race. His Job was
to break fast and set the pace for the
first five furlongs.

season here over handicap nominees at
assorted distances and with weights In

The $4,000 Gallant Sir won yester-
day brought his total winnings to
$74,200. The remainder of the added
purse was divided $2.500 to Waylayer
