have tolerated Pedro? Planned that
stowaway stunt? And Pedro hadn't
radioed her-proving that what Gaby
had told her about him was true.
The conga finished. She was bach

Suddenly incredibly, Walter was al

He greeted the other members of the

Jean. "May 1 sit down for a min.

So he had actually sought her out
What break!
But what of the other girl? The
tall blonde?
Out of the tail of her eye, Jear
saw that she was now in a large
group of people in the fashionable
nightclub. Walter must have left hel
there in order to come over!
Jean said quickly: 81 haven't had g
chance to really apologize about the
boat. l told my father"
ooh, that's all settled. The insur.
ance took care of it."
Music of rhumba breaking. Mad
deningly sweet. To dance in Walters
arms!
He asked Jean: would you care tt
dance?"
She rose, trying not to show hel
eagerness. They took off.
"Is your mother still away, Jean p

the knowledge of the shock that was
awaiting Laurel in the person Of
Gaby! Meantime, she must bear the
brunt of it herself. Gaby was arriv

she replied. "a bit antediluvian at
times"
By the look on his face, she knew
she had said the wrong thing to Wal
ter. Seemed pert and ungrateful.
Fated-and primarily because of her
feeling for him that now made her
jittery in his presence-to get off
to wrong start!
"He seems to give you plenty of
freedom, anyhow" Walter told her.
"Please don't go Gay Nineties on
mew
"oh, I'm not that old!" He grin
ned.
"And stepping out yourself to-
night?" she suggested archly.
Would he now tell her who was the
attractive blonde?
He didn't answer. She had the I'M
comfortable feeling that he was read
ing her mind. Walter had that I'M
canny faculty.
She hoped he didn't think that she
was jealous.
The rhumba over, Walter suggest
ed: Lets take a turn outside for a
breath of air. It's simply sitting in
here! Your gang won't mind if bor-
row you for a few minutes? One
can't talk in all this babble."
She was delighted. Tried not to
show it. Managed to say airily:
"Your friend won't mind, will she ?"
ooh, she's all fixed up in gay
party of friends of hers"
Nonchalant, like that!
Did any woman really register?
Had he heart at all for the oppo-
site sex?
The air was cool and refreshing out
on Park Avenue The smart thorough
fare, at that hour, comparatively
quiet.
Walter, hatless and coatless, took
her arm. He gave it little squeeze.
! Like old times, Jean, isn't it? I've
been missing you" Not word about
their quarrel.
"It only costs nickel to telephone -
she said wistfully, "but perhaps I'm
not worth that?" She looked up at
