CHAPTER TWO (ContinuedD
She learned that he was in this
city of Dover temporarily, that he
had no idea how soon he would
leave, that he was in some sort Of
business-she wasn't quite clear
just what-that kept him travelling
about a great deal, and that he had
no hesitation whatever in declaring
that she, Jean Dunn, was tops. She
grew gay and fippant in response
to his mood, and before long she
discovered that she was enjoying
this dance very much indeed; so
much so that she felt a genuine
pang of regret when the music
finally stopped.
Would you just faint and fall
in it if I should call you up some
day?" he asked, as they started
back to the table.
NO" she said slowly, but you
don't know my phone number"
Don't worry about that, baby.
What it takes to find out phone
numbers grows on me. Would you
hang up on me?"
She ought 10 tell him not to call,
she knew that as we'll as she knew
her own name. But what was the
| harm? A telephone call. after all
| and besides, he was nice looking.
and he had an amusing way of talk
ing. She found herself saying, TRY
it and see"
They got back to the table, and
HarkinS and Lanning left them.
after a few moments of incense
quential talk, Bobby followed them
with his eyes as they walked away
Seems like nice chap, doesn t

Good old Bobby! thought Jean
He's probably jealous as can be. in
side, but he's too nice to show it
And she had a sudden revulsion OF
feeling, in which she looked on
Bobby with real tenderness, and
told herself that she would marry
him as soon as-well, as soon as
we'll, some day; and meanwhile, il
Mr., HarkinS did call her up she
would just tell him that she couldn't
seee him. =.
Well look who's out seeing the
sights said a mans voice. Startled
she looked up. Bobby had sprung
to his feet, and was eagerly shaking
! hands with a quietlooking, dark
haired man in neat gray lounge
suit; and as the man turned to hel
she recognized him and said, why
Larry Glenn-Where'd you come
from?
Z AIRY GLENN shook hands
IL with her and helped himself tc
a vacant chair at an adjoining table
which he drew up between her and
Bobby. He sat down, leaned his
elbows on the table, and smiled first
at her and then at Bobby.
I guess I'm getting Old" he said
The children seem to be growing
up"
Seeing him was almost like going
back home. She had not seen him
since she and Bobby had been in
high school, At one time he had
been the unwilling object of hel
! first schoolgirl crush; she had been
a high school freshman then. and he
had been a person of glamour anc
romance-the college football star
back in the home town to coach the
high school football team.
He had been friend of her IA
theirs, and he had often dined ir
their homeland had looked doWr
on her with an amused and friendly
tolerance. Then he had gone East
somewhere, and she had heard that
he had become lawyer, and later
she heard that he had some OBJ
scure, but interesting, kind of jot
with the government. And here he
was again, older and soberer now
with friendly eyes and a firm CHR
and an older brother air toward
both of them that somehow made
them both feel that if they ever got
in any kind of trouble they coulc
go at once to Larry Glenn and be
got out of it.
"What're you kids doing up here
in Dover, anyway?" he was asking
Kids" said Bobby Indignantly
'That's swell. We've been out Of
college exactly one year"
"Bobby's selling autos, and I'm q
swelegant stenographer," said Jean
She's a bug on earning her owl
living now, but some day she's 60

noring the face she made at him.
Larry Glenn looked from one t.
the other.
Well" he said, Il heard cou
pie of years ago that things Wer'
drifting that way"
They're mott" said Jean Thel
she checked herself and said, "Wel
not just now, anyhow"
They're drifting that way" sale
Bobby, but not fast enough"
There's lots of time" said Larry
He looked at them fondly in silence
then turned to Jean.
Il got a letter from your dad tell
