CHAPTER EIGHT

AS THE DOOR opened above
her, on Roberts balcony, Linda
glanced up. 1t was an instructive
gesture. She was not aware that
she hesitated in her movement to-
ward the hidden part of her own
small terraced porch. But the few
seconds required for that volun-
tary gesture were all the occupant
of the higher balcony needed.
A dazzling, brilliant fashlight
described an arc around Linda S
tace. sne knew that she stood
clearly revealed to whomever stood
I'D there, while she herself could
see nothing. A voice, low, rich, dra-
matte, entirely in control of itself,
spoke in the sudden silence.
II see you clearly, my dear.
Now I know where Rob is. Sort OF

imagine. It's sweet of you, but no
help at all. always get what l
want-and I am marrying him!

play. I'll know you-When we meet

Before the speech ended Linda
felt a strong hand pulling her out
of the flashlights ray, and another
hand on her mouth, preventing any
words she might have spoken.
Not until the door upstairs closed
did Rob speak, though. His words
were low, hurried, dismayed. Good
grief, the old girl will make your
life a bedlam until 1 get her con-
WINGED I'm as important to you as

sorry, but I'll get you out of it."
Even yet Linda had no fear,
there in the April night on the
balcony with the monastery dream
ing just below, and the towers OF
the city, ghosted now, and silent,
hemming in the garden. She said:
"Her voice is beautiful, although
It said such spiteful things. She
might have been giving an imper-
sonation. playing a role. Who is
she"
Good girl, Linda! You got it.
She's Nina Nevins, the actress, and
maybe it is role"
NINA Nevins" She knew that
name. The actress face and
voice had been favorites as far
back as Linda could remember. But
the woman wasn't young any more.
Not old,ebut burdened with years

She must have passed forty long
ago. The stage still honored her,
asked for her II mature roles, but
she liked the younger parts of yes

many appearances lately.
But her name spelled magic

bonnet of horsehair lace, that
looked like an old-fashioned valerS
tine. She had spent too much on
the ensemble, she had fought.
Now she knew she hadn't. She
would be femininity and smartness
combined.
SO, at a quarter of five she sat
at her desk in the agency. Ever
since morning she had been waiting
for Ronnie to call. Each time she
lifted the receiver she expected to
hear his gay, low voice.
Surely, she told herself at 3
o'clock, he would get word to her
before four. And now it was a quar-
ter of five. ten of five, five Of FIVE.
Her heart felt strange and numb
and her body dragged. How could
lust one message from one man
do this to you? And hundreds OF
things could be OBTAINING Ronnie.
OF course they could. Only-she
knew they weren't.
She outlined her lips in Drawer
red, busted a brief powder pun
across her nose. And the telephone
rang. No sense now in growing
needlessly excited. None at all, she
cautioned herself, as she answered.
Linda, honey?" With the voice
across town speaking her name,
Linda felt the tight bands around
her heart relax, felt strength,
sweet and clean and new, flow
through her veins. Oh. it wasn't
fair that one mans voice could
change the world for girl. Not
fair, but ever so true.
Eyes, Ronnie," she answered hap
PLY.
Then, as he hesitated, her heart
toppled again. Perhaps he had
called to say that he could not
meet her.
Linda, how about the Iridium
room at the st. Regis? Can you
come right away?" ,
The Iridium room! It represented
wealth, gaiety, assurance. She was
clad she had worn the new suit and
the frivolous hat.
Pm there waiting" Ronnie was
saving, and she wondered If his
voice was embarrassed or the sing
ING wires could work change In

SHIFT OF GREENBERG
 DISGUISED
Heads Sci to Wdgging Over Chanae of Posi-.
 lion of Hank
By DILLON GRAHAM

Srcrts Editor, AP Feature Service
 NEW YORK, Feb. 8-It is not unusual for a young ball player to be shifted around from one posi- ten tc another but it is rare for an established star to be forced or persuaded to switch to another post.
 That is why there is quite a bit of interest attached to Hank Green berg's move from first base to the cutfiald. You can bet that Green berg didn't want to make the change. He has been fighting against 1t for averal years. But the Detroit Club finally got him in spot where he couldn't say no again.
 Detroit has two of the heaviest bombarders in baseball in Green berg and Rudy York. Both are first basemen. Hank was an eS- tablished star when Rudy came up from the minors Hank didn't want to move and so the Tigers. tried Rudy at various spots. York was a defensive liability, but he could hit
 Greenberg Slumps
 Last summer Greenberg didn't have such a good season. That is, gcod for Greenberg It would have been considered a swell year for the majority of the big 'leaguers but it was quite drop from Hanks great 1888 season So Detroit prob- ably thought it had a good reason to take whack at Greenberg's sal- ary. It is likely that Hank had to agree to the outfield job in order to hang on to his present salary, one of the highest.
 His switch will likely strengthen the Tigers, for it will enable them to have the York and Greenberg power in the batting order at the same time. And, defensively, York will not be so much of problem at first base. Furthermore, the Ti- gers will be stronger behind the plate with George TibbettS replacing York.
 While it appears good move for the Tigers it is quite a gamble for Greenberg personally. He has spent many years learning how to play first base. He ranks among the best all-round first-sackers in the Majors

ball age, he has to learn a new position The outfield, with it's larger territory to cover, takes more out of a ball players legs and may serve to shorten Hanks Major League career.
 Hanks arm is accustomed to the comparatively short heaves around the infield and it will take him some months to get accustomed to the longer pegs. Then there's the matter of learning the correct base to throw to under all conditions. Hank will find that he'll have to master a. new method of fielding grounders.. It will be interesting to watch him acclimate himself to his rcw surroundings.
