behind her. Ann heard the key turn
into the lock, she heard Clara NUT
tering, Il won't go-you can't make
me-"
She had chosen to lock herself
in the room where AIMS hat lay on
the,bed. Hesitating only briefly, Ann
left the apartment. Closing the door
softly, she heard Florabelle Tuning,
Where in hell do they keep the
bicarb?"
Ann fled into an elevator and
SIS A WEEK
out of the building, not stopping
until she reached the corner. A bus
was numbering down, the drive. She
had put 50-cent piece in the
pocket of her dress-mad money
she fumbled for it.
Ann let the bus pass. What should
she do about Clara? She couldn't
leave her. She looked fearfully back
at the lighted hotel.
II can't go back" she thought
She'll have to take care Of her
self. I tried" Suddenly she was
startled by the sound of running
feet. About to take to her heels
she recognized Steves voice.

Let me drive you home. I want to
talk to you. Please"
Ann could not know that 1t was
the first time he, Claybourne, had
pleaded with a girl. He, in his turn,
would have been surprised to know
her reason for relenting. Riding
home with Steve would be the
means of saving carfare.
"All right" she said.
His car was long and broad and
comfortable. Ann sat in corner of
the deeply cushioned seat, offered
nothing. Steve asked for directions
and shot through the traffic, dodg-
ing between cars, making green
lights on the last flicker
Ann kept silent. So Steve was
drunk after all. She'd made another
foolish mistake. She set her teeth
as they zig-zagged from one curb
to the other. When steve crashed
across an intersection against a red
light, miraculously missing another
car, Ann heard the faint whine of a
police siren.
"Steve-the police" she gasped.
What a night. Why hadn't she
stayed in the safe confines of Clara's
apartment?

steve eyed AIMS drink. "Are you
hardy enough for that kind OF
stuff?" he asked.
II graduated from grape juice
several years ago"
Ann was still bluffing. To make
any kind Of q scene only meant
that she would focus the attention
Of the party upon herself and, more
than anything else, she wanted to
remain in the background.
She sat down and the fun waxed
fast and furious. Already Clara's
tone had reached high pitch. She
shrieked with laughter. The dig
nifled Florabelle was IN a corner
with her friend, Clancy. He was
noisy, she shrill. .
Ann wandered through the little
hall and into the bathroom. She
dumped half the contents of her
glass into the layatory and re-
turned to the party.
Jake met her, putting his arm
around her waist. She slipped out
Of his embrace and went back to
her chair. Jake seated himself on
the arm, leaning over her.
Bout ready for another Ill
drink" he purred.

Like it?"
"Well enough"
He threw back his head and roared.
Hard to please. That's the way I
like 'em."
There was discreet tap on the
door and waiter was admitted.
He brought menus and stood by,
pencil and pad in hand, while the
guests quarreled loudly over a choice
Of food. The waiter looked definitely
bored.
"IVhat1l you have. peachy pie?"
Jake asked, turning to Ann.
"Oysters on the half she'll" she
said glibly. "Horseradish sauce.

and coffee-black. She handed her
menu to the waiter and he bowed.
Clara, who had been wildly mud
ding through the confusing page,
blinked. "I-I'll take the same" she
giggled. Steve looked at Ann curl
ously. 1t ended with five repeats Of
her order.
Steve went to Ann. II want to talk
to YOU" he said.
She raised her eyebrows and he
pulled a chair beside her. Jake
yelled. "Hey-that's my girl" but
Steve paid no attention. Jake sat
down and pulled Clara to his lap.
She laid her head on his shoulder
like drowsy kitten.

Steve asked.

You tell me! Do you like this sort

do you?"
Must you always answer my
questions with more questions?" His
indifference had changed to lively
interest.
She smiled demurely. It's a con-
versational tactic employed by those
who do not wish to appear too OBJ
vious."
How could she get away? An open
break, she knew, would be unSuc-
cessful. The men were in no mood
to have their entertainment come to
an abrupt end. Schemes fitted in
the back of her mind.
Steve drained his glass. The pupils
of his eyes were Slightly dilated, his
face was flushed.

said. Where did you pick up your
line?"

"Pete?"

Steve laughed. I'd like to meet

':He was. He lived by his wits"
And his little daughter is follow
ing in his footsteps"
She shrugged, twisting her glass.
1t was going to take all the wits
she possessed to get out of this sit
uation. The evening had only be-
gun. There was no doubt that 1t
would progress to new heights.
At this point Jake stood up dir
lilly, dumping Clara to the floor. She
set up howl and he stepped over
her.
"Lemme get you another drink"
he said to Ann.
II still have half of this one"
she told him. "Ill let you know
Two walters came in. They set
a table in the center of the room.
Dinner was nightmare of clumsy
ribaldry and intimate patter. Toasts
were drunk. Florabelle and Clancy
exchanged kisses at frequent inter-
walls. Clara unavailingly walled, II
wish somebody would kiss me-" Jake
kept an arm around Ann. She
scarcely touched her very excellent
food.
They were still at the table when
Jake Slumped forward. Too many
drinks, the warm air and rich food,
had done their worst with him.
Ann said, "Steve-Clancy--you'd
better do something about Jake"
They pulled him to his limp feet
and headed down the hall to the
bathroom. Florabelle went to the
kitchen in search of bicarbonate of
soda. She laughed softly, repeating
over and over, Jake can't take it
Jake can't take it,"
Ann sprang to her feet "Get your
things, Clara" she said quickly.
Were getting out of here"
"No-I don't want to CO." Clara
howled. I'm having fun-T never
had so much fun in my life"
Ann shook her arm. Don't be
little fool" she blazed. "You and I
are on spot. Come on"
Clara jerked her arm free. She
stumbled past Ann and into one of
the bedrooms, slamming the door

The clock is a masterpiece of
