 CHAPTER XXIX
 Sheila went back to tho Club Volens to dance with Ted Rodney. twill Dora's Spanish costume it your" he asked her.
 T think so," Shcila turned to him, conscious of two things - that she looked well and that Ted could never be induced to say so. "Scared?"
 She knew enough to answer this truthfully. "Yes. Aren't you?"
 "I always am lately for some reason"
 Maybe it's because you miss Dora," Sheila said sympathetically.
 The master of ceremonies was announcing them. The orchestra began their number and the spot light flung itself across the floor. Sheila and Ted stood in position at the entrance. They waited a mo- ment. Then two running steps forward and they were off.
 It was not until the dance had ended and they were lowing to the applause that Sheila noticed Il young man seated at a nearby table.
 It was Jerry Wyman.
 Jerry, wearing a dinner coat, looking assured and elegant, sat at a table close 10 tho square cleared for the dancers. At his side was dol In T.nt I.,y al tt..Y dress A very pretty girl.
 Sheila could scarcely believe her eyes. Jerry here In New York! He knew her address yet he had not tried to reach her. Of course he had no way of knowing that she would be dancing at this club.
 She tried to think. Had Jerry recognized her? There was no time to speculate. The master of ceremonies was hodding to the orchestra, raising one hand to quiet the applause. Again the spotlight crossed tho floor to find Ted and Sheila. Again they were dancing.
 Tho encore was an Apache number, requiring only the swift est changes of costume. Ted had caught up hat and Sheila handkerchief which she tied about her waist. They circlcd tho fiocg In perfect unison. Ted bent over Shela menacingly but with out touchIn gher. Shella evaded gracefully.
 Suddenly Ted seized her, swung her roughly this way and that. She slid across the floor crum- pied easily and waited. He caught her up again and they danced together. She swayed past the table where Jerry sat, paused, could have touched him but did not meet his eyes. Did he recog- nize her?
 only when at last the dance wag ended and she and Ted ran forward to receive the burst Of applause was Shcia sure that Jerry knew her. He sat at one of the tables, Ted Rodney opposite. Now the men and women who had been watching them were himself from the others at his table. He was making his way across the room toward her,
 But l did call you" he was insisting few minutes later. 'I called the minute 1 got in. They told me you were dancing here and that's why we came"
 "Who is "WcY'
 My sisters and my brother-In- law" He explained that Marcia, tho older of his two sisters was married and the other man in the party was her husband. The girl in yellow was hs sister, Jean.
 Jerry added that he had rear ranged their plaus for tho cVe- ming, Insisting that they should come to the Club VOlcmS fin order to see Shcila dance.
 The situation was serious
 The situation was awkward, Then Ted Rodney Bnyod the day. Wont you sit down." Inc said to Jerry. A few minutes later Ted drIfted away. He and Shciln had danced their last number for that evening.
 The girl looked across at Jerry. Ile had come to New York without writing 10 her. This was the trip that had been planned 40 that he might See her, yet here Inc was with q group of friends, talking 10 her only because chance had brought thcm together,
 She could not believe that he had tclcphOncd.
 T don't want 10 keep you from your friends" ShcIIn said, half rising to end the conversation.
 Jerry rose too and stood beside her. He seemed relieved. Wasn't he going 10 Introduce her to hIa sisters?
 Apparently he was not "ItH been great 10 gee you again, Bhcila," he said. "f'll call you tomorrow. What tifnc?"
