"Hello, everybody" he greeted
them boisterously. Flows the
gang tonight?"
well! It's about time!" Gerry
scolded. "How you leave me with
these two, and they can't see any
one but each other. Do you
want me to starve to death?"
mot so bad as that. little one"
Roger laughted, and sat down
close beside her. Come on.
Let's you and me forget these two.
What'll you have?"
The dark, sleek head Of Don
eta and the blond smooth one
of Schuyler MillbankS were bent
so close that the colors blended,
as the revolving lights caught
them in passing.
"Come on" challenged Gerry.
what you say goes" Roger
leaned forward and playtully
pulled the two quietly talking
young people apart.
Here" he said. "I've got some
thing I want you all to do. Here's
a post card that Mile is sending
back East to some friend. You
all know her-Betty Potter-well,
Mile asked me to post it, and I
thought it would be a kick Tor
BETTY if we all signed it before
I send it off. Come on, put your
John Hancocks on It'll"
They all laughed, and one by
one wrote their names on the
card.
"How is Miller" asked Donetta.
"It seems a shame that she has
been feeling so badly. She can't
be getting a lot Of fun out OF the
trip"
ANY woman can get a kick
out of a trip, sick or well, II she's
got plenty of cash behind her.
and Mile sure has, what with
old Roger here piling up the
shekels."
"Don't you ever think Of any.
thing but money!" Roger asked
her. =.
"Sure I do. I think most Of
nv time on how to get it,"
Gerry's frankness caused a gale
of laughter, and then the serious
business of eating was taken up.
Schuyler Millbanks scarcely
touched his food, and when any
one of the masculine persuasion
will overlook those well-cooked
dishes of which he is particularly
fond it is an absolutely safe bet
that he is hard hit in the region
of his heart.
He could not take his eyes from
Donetta's dark beauty.
"Where does Hates show go to
from here?" he asked, suddenly.
"Why, we leave the day after
tomorrow for Seattle, then on
back over the Canadian Pacific.
Well play Banff and Lake Louise,
Calgary, perhaps, if it looks good
enough. Then Toronto, Montreal
for the longest stay, and then
back into New York"
Millbanks was silent for a long
pause; then he laid his hand over
that of Donetta.
Come on, let's dance" he said.
AS the two moved smoothly out
upon the floor, many eyes fol-
lowed them, perfectly matched as
they were in height and coloring.
Donetta, tall, willowy, dark hair
and intriguing green eyes; Mill
banks, head and broad shoulders
framing her slenderness, his hair
like a golden cap Of sleek, fair
waves-the gentle brown eyes Of a
spaniel.
"Donetta," he murmured. IT
can't let you 60. just can't.
Why. I've only just found you"
"'Fraid you'll have to, Schuy-
ler," she smiled up into his ador-
ing eyes. 1--WE got to go on with
Kate and the gang"
Listen, Donetta." His voice was
strained. IT couldn't talk to you
at the table, with those two listen
ing. Listen. I want you to marry
me. Give up the show. Come
back East-back home with mel"
Donetta gasped. Schuyler Mill.
bankS-Prince Charming! Had
her dream come true? She could
hardly believe it! To marry him
to go back home with him and be
the chatelaine Of his estates, his
huge houses. his servants, his
yachts, and-of himself.
It was enough in the way Of a
