something. Believe me-"
I can't, Bill. Even if I knew
who did it-knew for sure-I
couldn't force them to take me
back"
mo, suppose not"
She went on, telling him about
the Models League ard her talk
with Ben Blake. Bill listened,
smoking thoughtfully. She ex-
planned how all her hopes of be-
coming professional model de-
pended on the pictures Hiatt had
made that Afternoon, and they dis
cussed this, too.
1t was late when they left the
cafeteria. Toby ruled out Bills
suggestion of a movie and they
rode uptown on the subway. Bills
mood of gaiety had returned. 1t
seemed to vanish, however,
as they walked the blocks be-
tween Tobys rooming home and
the subway station. A dozen steps
from the door he said shortly,
''Toby, there's something want to
say to you. I hope you'll under
stand"
The girl looked up quickly. She
said, why, of course" and won-
dered why he did not go on.

eyes, I understand" Toby told
him. "Oh, I hope they'll be
good!"
80 do l." Hiatt said, smiling.
"Well, you two better be on your
way and get something to eat. It's
getting late"
Toby and Bill said good night
then and left the studio. AS the
door swung behind them Bill
caught Toby's arm under his own.
He looked down at her, grin
ming. $50" he said, "my young
friend is on the threshold of fame
and fortune! Going to be a
model. Going to have your pic
ture on magazine covers and bill
boards from Maine to California.
Going to make a lot of money!
That calls for celebration, Toby.
A regular, bang-up-"
She stopped him. "Oh, but I'm
not, Bill. I mean this was just
sort of tryout If the pictures
are good. maybe I'll have a
chance"
THE pictures" he told her, "are
going to be knockouts. Didn't I
see them being made? Yes, Miss
Ryan, tonight we celebrate"
The elevator halted and they
stepped inside. A moment later
they were making their way
through the lobby to the street.
Bill went through the motions of
adjusting a monocle. He said,
with an exaggerated accent,
"Beastly nuisance, but, do you
know, neglected to bring the
town car this afternoon. Silly
whim of mine, walking"
TOBY grinned. ST have the
Il same whim myself" she said.
Come on"
They set off down the street.
Half way to the corner they
passed a florists shop, the
brightly lighted window gay with
spring flowers. Toby gave a lit
tie cry. "Oh-" she said, aren't
they lovelv2"
There were tulips and daffodils
and pink and blue hyacinths in
the window. There were nose
gays of purple violets, each neat
ly circled by green leaves. And in
the very center, Snow-white and
velvety, was corsage of gar
denias tied with silver ribbon.
Bill hesitated but an instant.
Then, pushing her gently before
him, he said, Were going in
here"
Why, Bill"
They were inside the shop,
then, breathing the heavy odors
of dozen different flowers. Bill
said to the middle-aged. spectacled
man who came forward, Gar
denias for the young lady,"
The salesman nodded. We
have some very nice ones" he
said. Something at about a dol
lar each?"
Impatiently. Bill pointed to
the corsage in the window. mo. /"

CHAPTER NINE

DILL BRANDT halted in the
ID doorway, grinning at Toby.
He did not speak, but one hand
went up in a quick, gay salute.
Toby smiled back. And all at once
she forgot the heat and lights and
her panic of moment before.
Toby was herself again, smiling
and confident.
Hiatt's gaze followed Toby's to
the door. He said, rather testify,
"Well-?"
Bill came forward. "Are you
Mr.. HAITI" he asked. I'm from
ANDERSON & Blane's office.
Brandt's my name. Charlie Leslie
asked me to bring this over to
YOU" He held out an envelope.
Hiatt took the envelope, drew
out some folded sheets and
glanced at them quickly. Then he
slid them back into the envelope
and dropped it on a chair "All
right" he said. Thanks" He
looked at Bill moment. Then
he said, You and my model seem
to know each other.
Bill smiled. Were old friends"
"Oh, is that SOP" Hiatt's tone
was neither friendly or unfriendly.
He looked at Toby.
She was still smiling. She said
Bill couldn't believe it was you
for a moment. I was never more
surprised in my life"
II was surprised, too," Bill told
her. Whats this all about any
how? What are you doing here?"
u
TOBY had turned slightly.
l. From the platform she looked
down at Bill, her eyes shining and
eager. The lights played on her
hair, Transforming it into a glis-
tening halo. The pose she had
taken unconsciously was easy and
graceful.

he said, I'VE want that one. It's
for sale, isn't it?"
why, yes-of course
The salesman produced the
corsage and Toby fastened it to
her shoulder. Turning from the
mirror she said, ooh, Bill"
they're beautiful! They're the
loveliest flowers in the world
"They should be. Didn't tell
you we were going to celebrate?"
LIE handed the salesman a bill
IL and moment later received
the change.
Out in the night once more, Toby
said, BILL, I've never had such
lovely flowers. Never! But
shouldn't have let you spend all
that money. We're going back to
our old cafeteria"
Bill looked up from the nickels
and dimes in his hand. "Wi1at?"
he said. Go to that cheap, ordi-
nary place on night like this?
Hardly" Then he grinned. I'll
tell you what, though" he said,
slipping her arm in his once
more. There's another one up the
street that isn't so bad!"
They dined at the cafeteria up
the street. Over the days special"
pot roast, cabbage salad, hot
rolls and coffee for IS cents-Toby
told the whole story: Why she
had left Bergman's; how she had
gone hunting job and met Hiatt
and how he had sent her to the
Models League: how she had
gone from there to HATS studio.
Bill was indignant when he
heard what had happened at the
store. But some one must have
planned that" he said. They
must have done it deliberately"
II know. But what can I do
about it?"
