the table drawn near the fire. Say,
this is a party" His tone was
pleased. He crossed the room in
long, easy strides and warmed his
hands at the fire for few mo-
ments. He helped himself to a
canape.
Kit fiuttered her hand in space.
Not really" she drawled languid-
~. One always has a bit of cham
payne and a spot of caviar in the
afternoon, doesn't one?"
He scoWled. You kidding? Hey,
that's bad stuff for a hard-Work-
ing singer"
Kits laughter rose on a scale of
tinkling notes. She said, Silly! Of
course I'm kidding. Find yourself
some cigarets while get the cock
tails"
Vance walked around the room,
pausing at the piano to look over
her music, to study the water COL
ors on the walls. He broke off a
flower and put it in his lapel. When
she came back with the frosty
shaker, he was deep i. the only
man-size chair in the room. He
grinned at her with the impish grin
she remembered and said, some
change from the Pride of the
Golden Gulch, eh, gall"
Some change" she agreed SOL
emily.
She poured green gold liquid into
two glasses and gave him one.
They touched glasses and he said,
ITO whatever you want most"
They slipped slowly.
After a moment he said, BY the
way, what is it you want most?"
Quick color brushed her cheek
bones with pink. 1t was well he
couldn't read her mind. She said
casually, "Just what I've got. I
guess"
Vance scooped caviar generously
onto thin toast and ate appreci-
atively. He would not have a Sec
ond cocktail.
$50 you like the bright lights
and the adulation of crowds, the
autograph hunters and the flesh
pots Of radio?'
Zone thing at a time, mister. I
like to have warm, scented bath
room, and three meals day. like
the feeling of good clothes and a
comfortable bed. I love this room.
AS for the other things, l haven't
seen any noticeable adulation and
the autograph hunters must be out
of town. Right now it's okay. I'm
content with having no more than
lust this" Her gesture embraced
the room.
This is enough, huh? The
things the checking account pro-
vidcs? There isn't something else
that's more thrilling than merely
spending money!"
Kit tried to think of something
else, something he evidently ex-
nected her to say. She shook her
head.
That's funny"

He hcsitatcd a moment. when I
first saw you 1 thoGght-well, I
