Sure, like it." But there was
something wrong with his tone.
She tasted her own piece expert
mentally. Maybe it's the cinnamon.
Yes. think l did get bit too much
in it." She prattled on helplessly as
his scowl grew blacker. Some folks
don't like cinnamon in apple pie.
Maybe you don't. don't care much
for it myself. I wish I had left it
out!"
THE pie is all right" He stabbed
at it viciously.
mo, it isn't. The crust is tough,
too. I can't think how that hap
pened! I wanted it to be good, espe-
cially for you" She looked at him
anxiouSly.
It's good pie. It's one of the best
pies I ever ate!" he fairly shouted,
glaring at her. She burst into tears.
Whats the matter?" impatiently.
"It's just that I wanted you to like
the dinner-and-and me-" she
sobbed. And now"
We'll, why didn't you tell me the
food came from a delicatessen? Why
did you pretend that you cooked it
yourself?"
She jerked up, unable to believe her
ears. 'How-how did you know?"
she gasped.
He went on inexorably. Can you
cook at alp"
She shook her head. Il can't even
boil water properly" she confessed
wretchedly.
THE whole miserable story spilled
out. She felt so ashamed that
she wanted to die. Why had she ever
pretended to be something that she
wasn't? 1t had made her lose him.
He must hate her now!
When she looked up he was grim
ming. Don't let it bother you. My
wife won't have to cook"
Had he really said my wife? Did
he mean Evidently he did, for
his hard young arms reached out and
drew her onto his knee.
When she could speak again she
said family, You haven't told me
how you knew the things came from
a delicatessen."
The pie gave you away. Every
chef has his own way of pricking a
top crust, you know. It's unmistak-
able. That's how knew where your
pie came from"
Il see," she cried, with dawning
comprehension. "You buy pies at the
same place."
NO." he contradicted smilingly. 81

gone mad to have you knock one Of

THE STORY so FAR

TOBY RYAN, 19, works behind aIho jeweIry counter of a large Manhattan department store. She poses for photographs to be used in a store advertisement and MARTY HIATT, the photOgra- pher, tells her she has Q "camera face"
 Toby goes to dinner with BILL BRANDT who works in an ad- vertising agency.
 A few days later Toby loses her lob, due to the scheming of Jealous MAURINE BALL, also employed in the jewelry depart ment.
 Toby's efforts to find another job are fruitIess. Then she meets Marty Hiatt and he sends her to BEN BLAKE who runs a model agency. Blake tells her she must have photographs in order to reg ister as a model and arranges for Hiatt to take them.
 After several anxious days the model agency reports to Toby that they have an assignment for her. HARRIET HOLM, another model, loans Toby dress.
 Toby works at several other jobs. In one week she earns three times her salary at the store.

different from any of the other fresh young meni He wasn't dif- ferent; he was exactly like the rest.
 No, she'd never see Mir. Timothy Jamieson df that really was his name) again. Hurrying toward the avenue, she told herself she didn't even want to see him.
 It was Wednesday, the night she usually had dinner with Bill Brandt, and she met him at their favorite cafeteria. The little table they favored, in a corner shadowed by the balcony, was vacant.
 Toby set plate of chicken and noodles and another of perfection salad on the red-and-white checked table cloth, discarded the tray and looked across at Bill.
 She said, T think I'm going to have 8 chance to pose for some really important pictures next weekl I was in Tcne & Raleigh,s studio this afternoon and they prac- tically promised me"
 She went on relating the days adventures - except, of course, the encounter with the young man on the bus. Bill was always inter- ested in everything Toby did, the places she went and people she met.
 Say" he said, that's finel You're getting on, Toby. Heading right for the top. Didn't I tell you?"
 She didn't notice as she talked, important names rolling glibly from her tongue, quoting figures that would have seemed enormous a few weeks ago, that Bill had little to say. Once she asked, What are you working on now, Bill2 Anything new?"
 Same old chors," he told her.
 Toby didn't ask questions. She remembered something another girl who modelled had told her, launched into the narrative.
 They finished the evening with a movie. It was picture starring Norma Shearer, and Toby, intent on the screen drama, could not for get that the glamorous heroine once had stood, even as Toby Ryan, before the cameras of commercial photographers. Of course Toby wasn't dreaming of @ Hollywood career. Nothing like that. Still 1t was excitingl
 They took the subway home. Toby didn't need to rise early the next morning, but she knew that Bill did. The light from street lamp Shone down on them as they stood before her rooming house. Toby suddenly noticed Bills coat. It wasn't an expensive tweed, nor was it cut on smart lines. It was just an ordinary, two-year-old coat. Bill looked well, @ bit shabby. She'd never thought about 1t be- fore.
 She said goodnight then. She looked over her shoulder from the top step, smiling as she usually lid, but 1t wasn't Bill she was thinking of. She was thinking of 9 young man with brown eyes be- heath paunty gray felt - a young nan she was never going to see again. Of course, it didn't make 5he slightest difference
 Toby turned her key in the lock and went inside. From the open door at the end of the hall the rooming house keepers voice called, That you, Miss Ryan?"
 "Yes, Mrs. Moeller."
 The woman appeared in the door. | There's a message for you. Came just little while ago."
 Toby said, "Why, how in the world-p and reached for the slip of paper.

 There was something about hin that made 1t hard to refuse. "But can't" Toby said.
 "Oh, but of course you can. And what's more, you're going to. II tell you what we'll do" Toby shook her head. "No," sht said. I-really I can't. And I've got to go now. I'll be late if don't"
 Then when can I see you2 VII you meet me for dinner2"
 She said, smiling a little because 1t was all so ridiculous, You've forgotten that I don't know you Why. don't even know your name"
 My name" the young man said '1s Timothy Jamieson. And you wrote it when you made out the charge for those clips. I was hoping you'd remember"
 Toby did remember, then. She asked, because she really was curi- ous, What in the world did you do with all those clips?"
 Really want to know2"
 T really do."
 Well, it's a long story but if you'll meet me for dinner"
 Toby saw 8 clock on the building across the street. The hands pointed to 4:25. Without waiting to hear more, she exclaimed, "Oh, I've got to hurryl" and fled.
 She was breathless when she opened the door of the tenth floor studio. A woman in a green smoci came forward and said, Nils: Ryan?"
 "Yes. I hope I'm not late"
 The woman glanced at a wrist watch. "No." she said, 'by my time you're a few minutes early The photographer is busy with an- other model, but you can go in the dressing room and get ready. You'll find the hats you're to wear on the table"
 Toby went into the dressing room. Thank fortune, that clock on the street had been fastl
 It was an hour and @ half later when she emerged from the build ing. Dusk had fallen and shop windows were lighted. Ahead, street lights glowed in the semi-darkness Toby stood at the entrance for a moment, looking to left and right.
 But there was no young man in 8 tweed topcoat and jaunty gray felt anywhere in sight. Toby hadn't really expected that there would be. She just wanted to be sure. He'd said that he did wait that other time
 That, Toby promptly assured her self, was nonsense. Since wher had she taker to believing the Hines" of fresh young men, trying to pick up dates? He was a fresh young man. What else could yor call him-coming to the store tht way he had, asking her to have dinner with him when they hadn' even been introduced? And ht must have thought she was tht sort of girl who would accept sucf an invitation or he wouldn't have asked her. The idea of believing even for 8 minute, that he wal

CHAPTER XIII

It was one of those deceptive March days when brilliant sunshine and @ clear blue sky call the unsus- pecting out of doors-to face, not balmy breezes but snapping wintry wind.
 Toby Ryan walked briskly cling ing to the narrow brim of her hat, which looked as though, at any mo- Tnent, 1t might dance away. Toby had been calling at studios, making the rounds as new models are ad- Sised to do in the hope of future calls for work. The last call had taken longer than she had expected and now Toby was in hurry. In 20 minutes she was due at studio Dn lower Madison.
 She reached the intersection, saw Q bus on the opposite side of the street, headed down town. Toby ran for 1t, climbed on board just as the doors were about to bang shut.
 She dropped her fare into the eoin box and slipped into the near est seat with a sigh of relief.
 The pictures Toby was to pose For were for a company that made hatS-not expensive, one-of-a-kind hats to be sold in exclusive shops, but the sort displayed in depart ment stores with $3.49 and $4.98 prioe tags. It wasn't likely it would take more than an hour or eo-
 A voice at her elbow interrupted. pAs I live and breathel It's the kirl with the blue eyes"
 Toby turned. It was moment D long moment -- before she recog- hi2ed the young man beside her. His top coat was rough tweed and his hat was a gray felt. Toby said, knowing very well that she should not have said it, "Oh-hello."
 ''You don't know what a shock Ehis is," the young man went on. p.Meeting you again. Just like this. Why, I've looked everywhere for kou-actually everywhere"
 Toby said, "You're the man who bought the rhinestone clips, aren't kouP Fifty-nine dollars worth"
 "Yes. And I'm the man you bumped into on the street corner one morning about a week ago. Remember"
 Toby's eyes told him she did. SBy George" he went on. You're even prettier than I thought you were"
 It was the wrong thing to say and he recognized this almost instantly. He said, "Oh, please don't be offend- ed. only said that because it's true. You're prettier than any other girl I've ever seen. Why shouldn't I say at when it's true-?"
 Toby had risen. Murmuring something he did not hear clearly, she pushed her way toward the door. A moment later the bus halted and she stepped down to the street.
 On the sidewalk she turned-and raised startled eyes. The young tnan was beside her. "Why-!" Toby began. He said, grinning. You don't khink I'm going to risk losing you again, do you? Not a chance! Re- member, we were going to have

heard me yelling for help and came
out and got me in boat. It's a good

they did.
