Of gettin' through if they have
telephoned. Side streets are out!
Stick 10 heavy traffic, Sam.
Sans reply was unintelligible.
She spent a whole day with
me" Harry's voice was angry
Just like old times. I thought she
was all for me. I see 1t now. 1t
was to get the dope. That's what.
She asked questions double
crosser-"
1t was past II BY a clock over a
jewelers. door on the corner. lingo
closed her eyes for an instant and
then looked again. Sam turned into
the wide main thOrOughfare. Inc
theaters and restaurants were pour
ing forth a moving tide of humanity.
Harry looked around ~uneasily and
lingo dropped her head against
Betty LOUIS. her eyes closed. Then
she was again scanning the boule-
ward ahead.
L didn't think it of her" came
Harry's low voice. God, I would
have done anything for her-I
thought she was straight. I thought
she hated Dey and his gang" His
laugh was bitter. Shell come creep
in back on her knees one of these
days-I swear I'll get eyen-and
howl"
Down there-a green light Would
Sam go through. or would it change?
Dear God. it must change-and
Harry cursed as the green flashed
into amber and then red. The car
was slowing up, stopping; hemmed
in on both sides with other cars. A
group of people stood on the curb
waiting for the change in signals.
lingo leaned forward and deity
turned the door handle, the blanket
falling away from her shoulders as
she did so. The door swung open,
hitting the running-board Of the
car next to it. Then-she screamed!
Her voice pierced the midnight tu-
multi and confusion of the great city.
The children, startled from their
sleep. sat upright and Betty Lou
started to cry.
In a daze, she saw faces turn,
people craning their necks-runnlng
from all sides. There was a roar as
the car started forward with a jerk
and shot through the cross street
and down the boulevard.
Harry's arm was reaching out to-
ward her as he leaned over the
back of the front seat. She could
hear him breathing hoarsely as his
face drew nearer to hers. his hand
pressed against her mouth.
You yellow"
The ca, stopped with a jerk.
There were loud voices, running feet,
a shrill whistle. A crowd was clos
ing in around them, curious faces
under the street lights. A blue cap
with a shining emblem-another
Harry Slumped in the front seat, a
big hand on his shoulder. More
notes.-the clang Of a harsh bell
Jingo's arms closed tighter about
Jackie and Betty Lou. She smiled
down at them.
JOHN DEFY wandered aimlessly
- about the living room, stopping
behind a chair at the bridge table
to watch a play idly; then, back
into the library across the hall;
through the center hall, looking up
the stairs eXpectantly.
JeSSica had gone upstairs shortly
before 10. The minute hand had
encircled the face of the clock with
pitiless slowness. 1t was 10 minutes
past eleven. He had waited for more
than an hour for her to come back
as she had promised.
Ann had taken advantage of
holding the dummy hand to come
to his side and slip her hand
through his arm.
You are restless. john" After
this hand, can't we go down to
the beach? 1t is such a marvellous
night"

Davis. I'VE are waiting for you"
Wont you help me play this
hand. John?" looking up into his
face pleadinglv. please come and
