Tonv's defense. You might wait
for his explanation. Sarah. Tony
may have a good one"
III bet he has" Sarah replied
dryly.
Ann turned away. She couldn't
meet Sarah's gaze.
Any way" Ann said Indignantly,
there's no reason to compare 4ony
nth Valera Bennett. who seems to
be a cheat. judging from the way
Dick Randall talked
She Is a cheat" corrected 5arah.
Everyone knows 1t except Peter
Kendall"
Ann was only half-interested.
She was thinking about Tony. Ann
felt sick with jealousy and fury and
appointment.
Don't spend the rest Of the night
IN a stew over Tony" Sarah ad-
yised from the bathroom door,
where she was wiping away cold
cream.
When Ann returned from lunch
next dav she found a note on her
desk which read. "Howdy. What
are you doing? Wasn't that swell
moon last night? Tony
Ann clenched the note n her
hand and dropped the tight little
wad into a waste paper basket
Wasn't it a swell moon last
night?'" When he'd been seeing
the moon with Eileen.
And then after she reached home
there was the usual call, and Ann
said. yes. Of course, she'd like TO go
for a drive.
The busy morning had been help
ful. She was glad she would be
able to raise a calm face and friend
" ewes to Tony.
She was ready when Tony came
at Z. Soon they were spinning
along the street in his battered blue
roadster.
You look pale. Busy today?"
Yes" Ann said. "Awfully.'
Sorry about last night. I worked
late on a rush order and then a
bunch of fellows dropped by with
Eileen and another girl and dragged
me out to the Blue jug.
Yes"
II was hard to keep the glow of
happiness from her voice. II Tony
had deceived her about last night
she would never have forgiven him.
I started to call you but it was
late and I figured a good gal like
YOU would be in bed. Besides, II
wasn't your crowd"
Well. it doesn't matter" Ann
laughed. I went. too"
You were at the Blue Jug?"
"Yesl"
Who took you?" roughly.

That tea hound!" Tony laughed,
amused.
LIE WAS not Jealous of Dick
II then. Well, who could be jeal-
Gus of a gabby idiot like Dick?
Mac brought him along. Dick
asked him to get him a blind date
Tony laughed. Dick probably
bribed Mac with tickets for the
show. Macs Scotch, you know!'
wei. anyway, think I promised
Dick a date this week" Ann said.
No funny business. Ann" He
laughed a little unsteadily. Then
he threw his cigaret aside, pulled
her into his arms and kissed her
violently.
Tony. you're almost breaking my
bonesl"
You will break that date?"
"Of course" She could never
have gone through with it any way.
Tony settled back in his seat and
started the car.
Who was that girl you spoke Uos
+ Valera asked Peter Kendall on the
way home from the night club.
Ann HOLSTER"
Where did you meet herr?
I haven't really met her"
But I saw you speak.
Peter told her about AIMS visit
to his grandfather. Ann had left
I her card. otherwise he would never
have known her name-though he
/ had talked to her.
He neglected to tell Valeria just
how he happened to talk to Ann.
Valera might not understand his
/ interest in helping the other girl.
so she works." Valeria said. She
was thinking that it wasn't likely
T Peter would be even mildly inter-
ested in a girl who didn't move in
I his social circle.
