glad to have you for visit" |
"As-a prospective member Of
the family, or just a casual
friend 2" she asked suspiciously,
unwilling to get any further in
volved or obligated to Gary.
She welcomed the opportunity
to get away from town primarily
because it released her from the
close contact with him that her
work required. With his eager,
hopeful face before her all the
time, she could not concentrate on
her work. 1. Maybe getting away
would relieve the strain-or maybe
distance would lend enchantment.
Wondering if he had that same
thought, she looked at him care
fully. But his face revealed no
trace of what he was thinking and
she decided gratefully to take the
vacation and see if things wouldn't
work themselves out to a logical
conclusion.
''I'n CO." she said briefly, and
he acknowledged the wisdom of
her judgment. -
GOOD, I'll write Marie and you
can leave as soon as I've had time
to go over the manuscript with
you; I'll wager you can get lot
of it done up in those quiet, friend
ly old mountains"
Seems long way to 60 just

chievously. "Sure there aren't
any desirable varieties of inspira-
ton right here in Santa Monica ?"
She was laughing at his serious
ness, and good naturally he adj
mitted the point. mo, you'd be
running home to Uncle Gary every
few minutes, and i want you to
get completely away. Santa Cruz
is the place all right, and I'll be
glad to get rid of you"
BY the following Wednesday
Marcia was ready for her unex-i
pected vacation. Gary's cousin
had sent an enthusiastic welcome
by wire, and as she boarded the
train she looked forward to the
trip. New vistas always en-
chanted her, and the picturesque
mountains of Santa Cruz held
magical appeal. Her only misgiv-
ing was fleeting one-"If Sandy
should want to see me for any
thing, he'd never find me in this
hideaway."
And suddenly another thought
occurred to her: perhaps Gary had
planned this deliberately, leaving
no stone unturned to win her if it
were humanity possible. His des-;
perate seriousness puzzled her,
and she dreaded to think Of the
outcome when she should find it
necessary to finally dash all his
hopes at the end of the prescribed

nv love and Sandy's. Surely it
can't all end like this" She
watched the churning waters Of
the ocean and again the thought
occurred to her that their love
was like that: at cross currents as
far as eye could see, but strangely
welded together according to some
strange rule of nature. They be-
longed together.
At A o'clock Marcia and. Gary
decided to start, deciding not to
wait for the barbecue later that
night, and Iona in one Of her most
elaborate dresses of corn yellow
|mousseline, waved them long
farewell from the driveway of her
house. Pastel colors, Marcia
thought, as she saw the pink stuc-
co house, the yellow gown, the
turquoise sea and the cloud
fecked sky. Nothing Of reality
about that house or the dozens like
it that faced the sea so gaily;
nothing strong and sturdy and
vital like that red sunset she had
seen from the rugged hilltop at
La Cresta. She closed her eyes in
retrospect.

thetically. =

as she realized his tremendous
disappointment of the night be-

answer, for he doggedly refused to
be discouraged until he had given
Marcia every opportunity under
the sun to reach a favorable de-
cision.
II wish you would take week

work." he said suddenly, just as
they were reaching Santa Monica.
'I Think you need the rest for one
thing, and I think you might get

thought something was taking

During prohibition, Spikes place
had been speakeasy and he had
| made no subsequent effort to change
its atmosphere. At one end of the
room was a bar In front OF the
bar were a dozen tables with chairs.
The place was extremely diney and
in its atmosphere was tobacco smoke
that had begun to accumulate in
1917.
However, the regular arrangement
of Spikes was somewhat altered.
From the center of the room the
tables had been removed. Wrapping
paper had been adjusted in tunnels
around several electric lights so as
to concentrate their glare on the
cleared spot. In its center four chairs
had been set side by subsequently,
to represent divan. On the "divan"
Irene was at the moment reclining.
Just outside the illuminated area
stood Waldo, and beside him an Ital-
ian with truly magnificent physique,
and mustachios as grandiose, who
was evidently Spike himself. Two
waiters-world-wea men who looked
as if they slept standing in the
bistro-leaned against the bar, looking
on. A single patron, aside from
Margits party-a man in gray
suit-sat in the shadows with his
face on the table, apparently sound
asleep.
Those things Margit noticed at
once, but her attention was imme-
diately focused upon a still more
outlandish figure Standing at the
edge Of the impromptu stage was
young man with disheveled hair and
mad eyes. He wore cap turned
backward. He had pulled up his
trousers to the middle of his calves
and wrapped the lower halves of his
legs In newspapers. In his hand he
held a megaphone made of news
papers. AS Margit quietly opened
the door, he lifted the megaphone
to his lips.
Quiet. everybody" said the young
man. 20. K. for sound? Right!
Roll 'em over!''
AT that signal, Spike walked into
the center Of the stage. He was
carrying a tennis racquet. Irene
picked up a magazine and pretended

to Irene, See you later"

magazine. But how late?"

as she allowed herself to get. On
the drive from Long Island she had

some chic new restaurant. And, after

his arms somewhat gingerly around
the girl. He kissed her quickly on
the cheek.

was a storage garage and on the
other side. surrounding and en-
quilting Spikes tawdry quarters, was
a large parking lot which was filled
with vintage automobiles, trailers, tin
cans, junk, drifting newspapers and
the embers of what had apparently
been several camp fires. 1t had
never occurred to Margit that a seq
ment of Americas trailer population
was bivouacked in the heart of New
York. A fire burned in an ash can
in the street outside Spikes and a
couple of buns stood beside it hold
ing out their hands and looking in
terestedly at the limousine.
Margit, realizing that her name
less fears had materialized, consid-
cred taking Paul with her for pro-
lection, and decided that she would
rather face whatever was happening
in Spikes alone.
She went up the dim flight of
