 Judy laughed bitterly. 'If you want to know" she retorted, I'll tell you that too, big boy. I did it on bet" "On a bet?" "Yes. My girl friend and I were in the drug store one day and she's awfully silly and she thought you were a handsome thing and she bet me a box of candy I couldn't make a date with you. So I did and won. We rode through Times | Square in a taxi last Friday night and saw you waiting there. Then I collected my box of candy" Rudy gasped. He gasped just as though some one had struck him i'm the stomach. The last frag- ments of his vanity rolled in the dust. Then some defense mechan- l, ism went to work inside of him. He became angry himself.

Then, exuding manly charm, Rudy turned toward the red-head- ed customer. She had seated herself at stool on the other side of the counter.
 "What'll it be, lady?" he asked blithely.
 The girl loked up at him. She certainly was an eyeful. She had l gold-red hair, peaches and cream skin, eyes of Dresden blue and a trim little figure which matched her other attractions.
 She looked at Rudy and he smiled his most charming smile. | Then she looked at the menu card.

 He knew that she saw him at the same moment that he saw her, but no light of recognition came into her Dresden blue eyes. In- stead, she gave him naughty stare.
