or I'll listen to him and I'll stick.
Leaving the one person in the whole
world who loves without, telling
him where I am-but I'm afraid Of
windowS-high up. And 1 can't go
back there"
She sat up at the sound of rapid
footsteps on the stairs; knock at
the door. For a moment she cow
cred in her chair, the arrogance
gone Then she walked slowly across
the room to answer the summons.
A young man stood leaning
againset the frame, smiling expect
antly, a peaked cap pulled low over
his eyes. Ho took it off and swept
lingo into his arms, his lips against
hers.
God, baby, was worried until
1 heard you were back. I had to lay
low until noon and then l went
down and had Barney make some
inquiries; they said you were out"
Jingo's arms crept up about his
neck and she buried her face against
his shoulder.
"Harry-Harry-" she whispered
with a sob in her voice. Il thought
you would come, but you didn't
and I needed you"
But, lingo, you know I'd have
come if 1 could. You know I love
YOU" His young face was pressed
against her hair. Il hoped I'd get
that break last night-but I didn't,
baby, but it's comm"
Il stayed in that place-with the
high windows-all night" she whis-
pered.
But you understand, don't you,
baby? They had nothing on you
and-it was a risk for me to go
back. 1 didn't want you to know,
baby. I've tried to keep it from
you, but when we get that break"
Then he laughed, drew her closer.
CHE pulled herself from his arms
- and ran her hands up and down
the lapels of his coat. 1--WE got
a lot Of work to do today, Harry
darling. You run along, now"
Say" he laughed. "Tryin' to
get rid of me, are you? Well, ii
can't be done. I've been waitin
and worryin' my head off about
you. Wonderin' how I was goin
to get to you. Now, I'm here and
it won't be long before We'll be
together always. 1t won't be long
And so you let 'em have one Of
those million dollar smiles, die
you? Let me have one-quick!
She smiled up at him from be-
meath lang dark lashes.
I'm sorry, lingo. Lordy, wher
I left that stuff here I had nc
idea the dicks were behind me,
Harry admitted remorsefully
From now on you won't get mixed
up in anything-understand? Now
tell me you love me"
She pulled away from him, hold
ing him off with both hands or
his shoulders, her little, dark head
thrown back. Harry, did you
were you mixed up on that job
at Rosenbaum's? Did you leave
those jewels here?"
For answer Harry pulled the girl
into his arms again.
God, I love you So-what differ
ence does last night make. You're
free again and I've promised :"
I've work to do, Harry darling.
Run along"
Say, baby, you and are going
to do a lot of talking today and
this is the place to do it."
I'm not talking today, Harry. I've
done enough in the last II hours to
last month, and I'm-tired. Where
did you get that tie?"
Pretty nifty, eh? Bought it be-
cause you liked bright colors. Now
listen, lingo. It's this way"
She placed her fingers against his
lips. NO, it's this way. I'm busy
today"
But you said you were tired and
We can sit right down here in this
big arm chair and you can listen
while tell you-right here in my
arms. baby"
