Bob Burns, maestro of the bazooka
(that odd-looking instrument he is
holding so tightly and the pride
and joy of Van Buren, County, Ark
ansaw, is shown as he boarded a
plane at Burbank, CAL, for a visit
with his equally famous kinfolk.
They didn't let him play the bazooka

to the skin, trembling from head
to foot. Her hand, where she had
burned it against Breck's ciga-et,
felt like red-hot fire.
Then she remembered, and made
sound that was half laugh, half
sob. She had left her purse and
evening coat in the dining room!
What to do! Where to go!
How to get back to her apartment,
and Jean!
A roadster appeared suddenly
out of the downpour and darkness,
slowed up at the corner, rolled
past, then backed up to the curb
where she stood shivering in the
diagonal slashing of rain.
For a moment she thought it
was Breck-it looked something
like his car. But the door opened,
and Wayne Adams quiet voice
said, "Get in. Where's Brock?
What's happened?"
"Get in" he repeated impatient
ly, as Gay hesitated. "This is no
time to argue! You're soaking
wet"
He leaned forward and hauled
her unceremoniously into the road
ster.
Did you and Breck have a bad
crackup? Noisy? Was there
trouble 2"
She made no answer. He went
on, as though holding his temper
in check. Tell me what hap
pened. It's very important right
now that Breck shouldn't get in
any jam. I'd intended to round
him up hours ago, but 1 couldn't
get away. Breck's a wild man
when he drinks too much. Was he
|-er-rough with you?" There
was unexpected sympathy in his
tone, and Gay longed to rest her
head against his shoulder and cry
like hurt child.
Instead, she sat stiff and with
drawn in her corner Of the car.
But, she told herself, though she
thoroughly disliked Wayne Adams,
she had to admit his quiet reserve
Of strength, ibis understanding di-
rectness of speech and manner.
IL gather from all you've been
telling me-" he went on, smilingly,
that you left Breck, for excellent
reasons, on the spur of the mo-
ment. Am right or-am I
right ?"
Gay said nothing.
"I'm glad to see you still have
most Of your clothes! Breck has a
playful habit of snatching mis-
girl friends dress, as a souvenir Of
a pleasant evening""
Impuisively. Gay broke her

silence. This cheap little thing
doesn't matter! Breck did tear it,
but with the money he's going to
give me-"
Wayne's laugh cut her short.
"Oh, I see," he said quickly. $50
that's the way it IS"
And as the car rounded a corner,
in the light of an arc lamp, he
smiled down into her uncompre-
bending eyes a smile Of amused
contempt.
Gays hand, burned by Breck's
cigaret, throbbed so painfully for
the next few days that she feared
1t was infected. AS she punched
the club time-clock at eighty
thirty Wednesday morning, she
felt feverish and irritable. Her
heart sank still lower when JIM
my, the bell-boy, told her that Mr..
Carberry, the assistant manager,
wanted to see her in his office.
Maybe I'm going to be fired"
Gay thought, nervously.
But Mr.. Carberry merely wanted
to inform her of a change IN work.

new system in the coat room

duty. Jean Briggs had already
been notified, by telephone.
you'd better rest this after
noon," said Mr.. Carberry, land go
back on the job around six. Then,
for the rest Of the week, you'll be
on night shift, only"
Mr.. Carberry was pale young
man, with a wisp of black mus
tache and slightly self-important
manner. Gay listened attentively
while he talked.
"At midnight, you may go Tor
supper to the helps dining room.
Don't be away more than 20 min
utes. We fired the last coat room
girl because she hung around the
halls at night, fooling with bus
boys"
Gay REDEEMED.
II don't fool with bus boys""
When Mr.. Carberry's eyes
twinkled, he looked almost human.
Reports on your behavior have
been excellent. One of our guests
told me that you are a very eff
Gent young person"
The telephone on his desk rang;
and he waved Cay out Of the Office
with all the dignity Of a young
assistant house manager, who
hopes some day to grab his chiefs
position.

CHAPTER 7

YOU HAVEN'T touched your
drink" Breck's voice interrupted
Gays thoughts about buying new
clothes with the 500 she had just
won at roulette. I'm a mile
ahead of you, already. This is
mighty good Bourbon-but maybe
you'd rather have Bacardi, or
something
Gay raised her blue eyes to
his. II don't believe / want any,
thing, Brock"
He drained his glass. and poured
himself a straight.
Starlight with me. If a girl
can't hold her liquor like a little
gen'man, she's smart to leave it
alone. Hate to see a girl tight,
myself. Now, with man it's diff
ferent." He leaned confidentially
across the table. Il can carry
amazing quantity-never get
drunk. S'miraculouS"
Gay laughed, a little uneasily
II hope you're right, Brock"
you're cute, Gay. I'll tell you
a secret. I'm merits about you.
Absolutely merits. You like me,
honey?"
"Of course I like you, Brock"
The quart of Bourbon was slow
ly and steadily disappearing. And
in the same ratio, Breck's speech
grew more uncertain, his eyes
more bright.
There's something about you
that's got me, Gay. Sure 'nough.
You've got more sex appeal in
minute, than most girls'll ever
have"
He had pushed his chair back,
now, and was standing beside her.
She evaded his kiss.
Don't please. I want to finish
this marvellous dinner"
But Breck was no longer so
good-natured. He swept her into
his arms and held her breathlessly
close. His whispered words made
her flush, angrily, and she strained
away from him, disillusioned, but
not at all frightened. AS she had
told Jean, she felt perfectly capa-
bic of taking care of herself. No
part of her responded now to
Breck Carter.
A look of surprise came into
Breck's face. II don't get you,
Gay. I'm not used to this 'inno-
cent line. What do you mean,
acting like this? You aren't a
cheater, are you, honey? We're
going to have a good time-nice
III party"
A lighted cigaret dangling from
the corner of his mouth, he drew
her forcibly toward the chaise-
Tongue.
Sudden panic swept over Gay as
his caresses grew holder. She
struggled away from him with all
her strength, and not until later
felt the soaring burn from his Gig
aret across the palm of her hand.
She only knew she must get away,
and again she tried to wrench her
self free; tried to brace her body
against the wall
TRY and get awayw Brock was
gripping her shoulders under the
thin satin. She felt her dress tear.
Just try it, Baby. See where it
gets you"
A knock, and the waiter en-
tered.
Breck reared, Get out of here!
Don't you know better than to
break in"
But you rang, sir. The bell"
Alphabetically, the waiter pointed
10 the wall button.
Gay instantly understood. In the
scuf1ing, she had pressed against
the electric button. Quick-witted.
