CHAPTER -

THE NEXT night, before going
to the Peacock, Noel had a simple
dinner Of soup and sandwich at
little place on Main street. But her
appetite, which had been so lusty
for while, now seemed to have
deserted her. She managed the
soup, but the sandwich was left I'M
tasted, although she knew she
should have eaten it regardless of
whether she wanted it or not.
Dancing was strenuous exercise.
Promptly at the hour She was at
the Peacock, hoping that Chris
would be there. The hours didn't
seem near so long when he came.
sShe slipped into the brocade and
the new slippers, which did not feel
very comfortable because they
were stiff. Noel hoped they
wouldn't hurt her feet. If she had
Eonly thought, she would have real
lied that it was better to get at
least a half size larger when buy
ling cheap shoes. But it was too
late to think of that now.
There were not so many dancers
lat the Peacock tonight, and Noel
found herself actually sitting out a
Kew dances, a fact for which she
WAS grateful indeed because the
new sandals really were hurting her
feet.
Many Of the girls were sitting
out tonight at the tables lined
against the walls. Most of them
were a great deal more friendly
now. Even the tall dark girl who
had been so catty at times often
gave Noel a friendly smile.
Mazda was back tonight. She
came up and stood for a moment
beside Noel. There was thick
coating of rouge on her rather thin
hollow cheeks. She had been sick,
she said, and terribly afraid Nick
wouldn't let her come back. But
he had.
'Say, kid, how on earth do you
do it ?" she asked.
do what ?" Noel asked puzzled.
"You know, make 'em come back
again and again and beg for
dances. And you even know how
to handle Nick, and tell him where
ito get off, and he likes it. And
that young fellow, he's a swell or
somethin'- anybody can see that
he's nuts about you," she broke off.
Then exclaimed. Look, there he
lisp
A rush of warmth came to NOel's
heart as she looked up and saw
Chris standing there in the middle
Of the floor, his eyes searching for
her. In another minute he was
moving toward her.
Mazda smiled and walked on.
Chris had a long string of
tickets, and the thought came into
Noels mind that perhaps Nick
wouldn't mind it if she danced a
number of times with Chris to-
night since there wasn't very big
crowd.
Then she and Chris were dane
ing. And he was looking down at
her from his tall height. Haven't
been able to get you off my mind.
The way you dance, the way you
look, your pretty gold hair and blue
eyes-everything about you. 'Fraid
I've got an awful crush on you,
sweetheart"
I'm glad-you came back,
Chris" Noel murmured. II was
hoping you would"
did YOU miss me ?" he asked.

TROUT SEASON
OPENS SUNDAY
SAN FRANCISCO, April 80 (UP)

SAN FRANCISCO, April 80 (UP)
Trout time. Tomorrow's the day
and a spring fresh stream in the
California hills is the place.
Fishermen we're heading for the
open throughout the state today
TO be on hand in the morning,
when the first flies and worms of
the 1888 trout fishing season may
be legally cast.
May Day, it will be one OF the
few opening days in many years
when the kids won't have to play
hockey from school to go fishing
Neither will "old kids" rave to
give phoney excuses at the office
in order to get out with the old
rod and reel.
1t probably will be disappoint-
ing day as far as catchers are con-
cerned. California was hard hit
during the past months by floods
and deep SHOWS. In many sections
of the state trout fishing has been
practically ruined. Because of ad-
verse conditions, Yosemite Natio-
nal Park has shortened its trout
season by six weeks and post

the Preakness and the Belmont.
Fighting Fox will be the favorite
today, but no one expects him to
have breeze, because today's 18th
renewal has drawn a field bristling
with talent. Lined up with the Fox
at the barrier will be Hal Price
Headley's Bourbon King, winner last
Saturday of the Chesapeake; Willis
Sharpe Kilmer's Nedayr, star of
last years Walden and Pimlico Fu-
turity; the Wheatley stables for
midable pair, Stomscus and Quick

speedy Opera Hat; Can't Wait; Pas
teurized. and Woodsong.
The Fox. Stomscus and Quick
Devil will run as an entry and this
trio places Sunny Jim" Fitzsim-
mons in a fine position to saddle
the Wood winner for the fifth time
in the past IA years. Mr. Fitz"
sent Distraction out to win in 1923,
Gallant Fox in 1890, Teufel in 1896,
and Melodist last year. In short,
Sunny Jim" has been giving lis

For some reason 1 like Nedayr to
take the winners end today. But
would not advise you to risk the
family fortune on this selection, or
even the family fifteen cents. Be
cause my picks have caused me to
become known as the answer to q
bookie's prayer" Still, you might
risk Drachma or two, because
Nedyar, while no ball of fire for

it along down that stretch. And
