lighted to see him.
NOW GO on WITH THE STORY.
CHAPTER TWO (Continued)
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 flippant 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 to 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
HRrkins and Lanning left them
after few moments of incense
quential talk. Bobby followed them
with his eyes as they walked away
Seems like nice chap, doesn't
hep he asked.
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, anC
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.
We'll, look who's out seeing the
sights" said mans voice. Startled
she looked up. Bobby had sprung
to his feet, and was eagerly shaking
hands with a quiet looking, dark
| haired man in a neat gray lounge
suit; and as the man turned to hel
she recognized him and said, why
Larry Glenn-where'd you come
| from?
r AIRY GLENN shook hands
A. with her and helped himself tc
a vacant chair at an adjoining table
which he drew up between her anc
Bobby. He sat down, leaned his
elbows on the table, and smiled first
at her and then at Bobby.
4 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 If
high school, At one time he hac
been the unwilling object of hel
first schoolgirl crush; she had beer
high school freshman then, and hi
had been person of glamour ano
romance-the college football star
back in the home town to coach thu
high school football team.
He had been friend of her ia.
theirs, and he had often dined il
their homeland had looked dow
on her with an amused and friendly
tolerance. Then he had gone East
somewhere, and she had heard tina
he had become a lawyer, and latel
she heard that he had some OBJ
scure, but interesting, kind of joI
with the government. And here hi
was again, older and soberer now
with friendly eyes and firm chi1
and an older brother air toWarC
both of them that somehow made
them both feel that if they ever go
in any kind of trouble they coulo
go at once to Larry Glenn and bt
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 O.
college exactly one year"
"Bobby's selling autos, and I'm {
swelegant stenographer," said Jean
shes a bug on earning her owl
living now, but some day she's go
ing to marry me-" said Bobby, ig
noring the face she made at him.
Larry Glenn looked from one t.
the other.
We'll" he said, "I heard a cou
pie of years ago that things wer
drifting that way
They're not" said Jean Thel
she checked herself and said, wei
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.
got leUGer from your QdQ Tell
ing me you we're up here, ne SAID
Il promised I'd look you up. No
-hastily-"not to keep an eye Of
you. Just to say hello. and mayb
take you out to dinner once in
great while, if Bobby doesn't objec
too much"
Il don't object at all, to you" sail
Bobby. Its handsome stranger
like this Harkins guy that get m
worried"
That" sighed Glenn, seems t
indicate that I'm hopelessly unro
mantle and aged. And who is thi
HarkinS guy, anyway"
