but Sally was beginning, in her in
effectual way, to see that they
were getting nowhere fast.
She wished she could be as
worthy of Jirnmy's love as Patsy
was of Bills. Patsy, nowhere

The house detective grinned
down at her. Sally was glad Mr.
Murphy was her friend because a

has to face situations.

best, a pipe, or a cigarette, or
cigar?"
"A pipe. Why are you askln'?"
Sally told him, And they dis.

With each succeeding pay day
she went to the jewelry store and
handed over a dollar more on the
watch she was buying for Jimmy
And knew that Jimmy was doing
the same thing for her bracelet.

in the hotel room next to theirs.
Sally had mooned herself to

acrid odor of smoke woke her,

cigarette in his fingers.
Sally called the house detective,
