ing how important money was to
people who didn't have it. How
even small amounts meant the diff
ference to some people between
happinss and despair. It didn't
seem right that money should be
placed before happiness, because
you didn't have enough, or-had
too much. sz
Laurie's eyes grew sad when

"You got the money from Luigi.

Noel nodded. He's rich-why

But it was dangerous for you
to-oo that" Laurie said a little
unhappily. So ~
I'm not afraid of Luigi. And
just think in few days I won't

made mental reservation here.
For, of course, when she found her.
self In position to, she was going
to return all the extra money he
had paid her. She thought she
would just send it to him in a
registered envelope, so she
wouldn't have to see him.
But even though Noel insisted
she wasn't afraid of Nick Luigi,
she dreaded very much having to
tell him that she was leaving. She
hadn't any idea how he would take
it. Nick, with his pale eyes and
grim lips with the endless cigar
clamped in one corner Of his
mouth. t .tAe
The more she thought of it, the
more she dreaded telling him.
Sometimes she almost decided not
to tell him at all, but just simply
fail to appear on Monday night.
In that way she would avoid what
she was sure would be a hateful
scene. But Noel had never been q
coward. And Nick had helped
her out when she had needed help
so very much. .s
However, Noel had to have an

end who won. Noel wore the new
frock. telling herself happily that
it wouldn't be for long. Only to-
night-she would not come back!
The chiffon frock swirled grace
fully and beautifully about her
slender body when she began dane
ing. It seemed that everyone in
the place had his eyes upon her,
not excepting Nick, of course. And
then to Noeps delight she saw
Chris come up and tap her partner
on the shoulder. He took her in
his arms and smiled at her in his
gay, boyish way. So she knew he
was no longer angry. a ~ n
1T was lovely to be dancing with
him again. I'm so glad you
came" she whispered. This is
my last night here" a.. .s
