at the moment were to rush at once.
| could see that Gig, once he'd resigned
himself to it, was really having quite good
time out of getting his system organized.
though of course he wouldn't have admitted
this for anything. His attitude. when he spoke
to me about it, was grim. Whenever he had
occasion to refer to Judy. he spoke Of her
as the White Mans Burden. But was per-
fectly at peace in my mind. When Gig really
undertakes thing, he always sees it through.
Having the major problem settled, was
free just to enjoy Judy's visit. And certainly
did Id been crazy about Judy at school but
liked her ten times as well at home. She
was what I'd call the perfect guest Every
body, even the maid, liked her. She entered
into everything with such enthusiasm, going
to a couple of contract luncheons, skating,
to the movies. She helped make evergreen
ropes for the house. hung holly wreaths and
helped trim the tree. When it started to snow
about four O'Clock Christmas Eve, she was
as appreciative as though we'd staged it
just for her. She had Just the right presents
for everybody. even trick cigarette lighter
for Gig that hoped made him ashamed
of himself. I'm pretty sure it did. too.

well. maybe you could ask lot of them to
cut in on her as a favor to you," l said,
becoming more practical. That's what I'm
going to do"
Gig grunted sceptically. ITS all very well
for you to depend on altruisn. you haven't
got any real responsibility. You're sitting
pretty, now that you've passed the buck to
me. How many men do you think there are
in this town who'd do favor for their own
mother, once they're at dancer" He thought,
gloomiy, for several minutes. Then, ''Of
course, there are a couple of fellows who
aren't in any position to refuse me favor"
he reflected. Pete Towers owes me ten dol
lars. If asked him to cut in. he'd have to
cut and like it."
"Al right, ask Pete Towers" l said ruth
lessly. Who's the other one?
BILLY Seabrook knows that if it hadn't
been for me, he wouldn't have made Delta

he'd have to come across"
Make him promise to cut at least ten
times" said. Delta Beta's easily worth it.
Listen, Gig, you haven't got anything on
Sprint MacNair, have you? Ifyou could make
him cut in just once. Judy d be safe"

1t was a tiny picture of Gig. my brother.
For moment, | stared at it in amazement.
Where on earth had Judy gotten it? Sud-
denly l recognized it as part of snapshot
we'd taken Christmas morning in the snow.
Judy must have cut out the little circle Just
around Gigs face.
Judy must be crazy about Gig. There was
no other explanation of her cutting out his
picture and hiding it secretly away under
her handkerchiefs.
hastily put the snapshot back and ran
down to the car. Poor Judy! l thought of
Gigs saying he thought she was terrible,
that he didn't like her looks or her line and
wouldn't like her personality, even if she
had one glanced back at him, riding along
beside Judy. He was whistling cheerfully and
looking out of the car window, no more aware
of Judy than if She d been sack of potatoes.
Honestly, could have swatted him!
The dance was at the MayAower Club and
as we drove in the gate, we could see great
holly wreaths at all the windows The frs
on either side of the main door twinkled
with bright -colored bulbs. The ballroom was
Christmas-y. too all fragrant with evergreen.
The punch table was bank of holly and tall
red candles, under the crystal sidelights were
wreaths and scarlet poinsettias and an oc-.
casional coy little sprig of mistletoe.
Perce and Tommy started to argue about
which one l was to dance with first but
waited till saw Judy swing away with Gig.
He was already looking over her shoulder at
the stag line with the stern watchfulness of
England expecting every man to do his
duty.
Things seemed to move according to sched-
ule. Each time l succeeded in finding Judy,
she was dancing with different man, which
was reassuring caught sight of Gig once
or twice and that. too, was reassuring He.

mentioned once for the All American team
he's simply got everything. He never dances
with any girl till she's definitely established
as knockout Having him cut in on you
is as good as the Sterling" mark on silver.
But Gig said no, he didn't have any hold
on Sprint MacNair.
There were quite few men in town, how
ever, who were indebted to Gig in one way
or another. once he put his mind to thinking
of them. He is born organizer. and, once
he'd undertaken the job he started right in
lining up his resources. And did he line them
up! He arranged set of signals and saw to
It that every man knew his own. There was
Especial signal for each man but besides these
Gig had general signal a sort of Calling All
Cars. When he would dance Judy close to
the stag line and hold his hand at her back
with the thumb sticking straight up, any of

My apprehensions about Judy hadn't been
imaginary. could tell they'd been perfectly
justified by the way she acted whenever I
mentioned the Spinsters' Ball. 1t was only
too evident that she was dreading it. She
said two or three times, why did bother to
take her, that she could 60 to the movies
with Mother and Dad that night and have a
perfectly good time. assured her that she'd
have swell time at the dance, but, though
I could see that she thought didn't know
what was talking about, couldn't very
well be any more definite. Not getting stuck
wouldn't be any pleasure to girl if she knew
it had been all organized for her.
The actual night of the dance, though, I
was 50 tempted to tell Judy, could scarcely
hold myself back. She was so scared. We
dressed together.

the top drawer of her wardrobe trunk and
sure enough, there it was, down toward the

half dozen of Judy's all over the floor

realized that I'd really deserted Judy.
In one way, this was all right - I felt pretty
sure that Gig wouldn't have weakened; when
he sets his hand to the plow he usually keeps
it there - but in another way, it was simply
cruel. If Judy should stay crazy about Gig.
there had been chance that sometime, as
the years went on. if had her to visit often,
Gig might slowly come to feel differently
about her, might learn to love her for her
character, in spite of her looks

Id cooked even that. 1t was true that Gig
had started out the evening with sort of
grim enthusiasm but it was too much to
hope that that had lasted. And when man

enthusiasm has worn off, on and on and on, :,

that possibly Gig had been
clever enough to let each man

abandoned that theory
quickly, though. Gig would

But evidently his cam

abandoned my feeling of wor-
