NOW GO on WITH The STORY
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
TOR hours they sat in the dark
L apartment without even turning
on light, speaking in husheo
voices as if in the presence Of death
One plan after another had beer
discussed only to be discarded. Un-
less they could disappear from Sar
Francisco altogether there was lit
orally nothing they could do.
Even then" admitted Tony who
had suggested it, they'd probably
find us and make me come back
Perhaps if we tell them how
much we love each other" Treasure
said hopefully, but Anthony shook
his head.
"Thered be no use. Mother woulc
not even listen. You see, sweet
Rudolf has made her think you in
weighed me into marrying you and
nothing we can say will make heI
think otherwise"
But why?" Treasure demanded
deeply hurt.
Because you were a night club
hostess in the first place, I suppose
Only very worldly wise girls are
apt to be in positions like that
Then the fact that you are of age
while I'm not oh, darling" he
cried seeing her shocked incredulous
face, no one knows better than
do how untrue that is. I'm just tell
ing you how it looks to mother. I'll
give Rudolf credit for making up a
good story"
Il can't understand why he
should say things like that about
me-" she said in a voice like ice.
Il can't either. He even told
mother that you accepted $40 from
him"
For dancing with him." she
cried hotly.
Tony's eyes clouded.
80 it was true then? I thought
he had lied about it."
But, Tony, you knew that the
men I danced with often gave me
tips"
Not like that. Men don't give $40
tips any more"
Rudolf did," she insisted bitter
", although 1 didn't feel that I
should take it. But I asked Oliver
about it and he said it would be all
right"
And which one was Oliver?" he
asked calmly.
Treasure could have wept at the
of that question but she
that Tony was under a ter
rifle strain and determined not to
let herself be sensitive.
Please don't take that attitude
about it. dear! Oliver was the one
who played the piano in the or
chestra. We were just friends"
oh yes? 1t seems that for a
girl of Is you had quite a few of
them"
Treasure rose from his lap and
seated herself across the room.
You have no reason to talk like
that to me. Tony"
ImpulSively he had followed her
Was burying his face in the soft
sweetness of her throat.
I'm sorry, darling. But 1 have
never cared for any one else and
had hoped it was the same with
you"
1T is" she cried pressing quick
reassuring kisses upon his troubled
face. But you must have conf
dence in me-"
Rudolf insinuated such hideouE
things :"
When, dear?"
Last night. He said you hac
been his glri first. That I tool
you away from him."
She answered quietly, I told vol
I had never even seen Rudolf bu
once before that night"
He says you let him take vol
home the first time he met vol
Just as you did me-"
That's not true, Tony, but, i
you'd rather believe your brother
than me there's nothing I can oC
about it."
Il don't believe it." he protested
although I still can't understand
why you would accept SO from
him"
I'd give anything if I hadn't,
she admitted. i wouldn't again
