They found a hack. a horse

driver to go through the park for
an hour. There was no greenness in

high and the ground was sodden.

CHAPTER NINE

LINDA FOUND Ronnie waiting
for her in the Iridium room. The
music was low and gentle, gay and
inobtrusfve. People looked happy.
Mostly they were in 'twos. A man
and a girl, a man and a girl.
Ronnie looked tired, but his eyes
lighted with swift Joy when she
came toward him.
You're the only nice thing about
a devilish day." he said. Linda,
you're stunning"
Then he forgot her clothes and
studied her eyes. ......
Still love me, my sweet ?"
She nodded. mo decrease at all.
why?"
Enough to marry me tonight,
tomorrow, soon?"
This was what she had wanted
him to say, but now that she heard
the words she was afraid There
was not the assurance and strength
in Ronnie's voice that should be
there. Still he was tired. His
eyes were meeting hers honestly
and his face was serious. Yet she
was aware Of some other influence.
She glanced down at the table
and noticed small gold vanity
case. 1t contained the initials
IS. NJ" Sarah Markley. So Sarah
had been here with Ronnie until-a
few minutes ago. All of the time
that she had waited for the tele-
phone to ring, he had been chatting
with Sarah. Maybe 1t wasn't his
fault, maybe it was. She didn't try
to reason it out. She said instead:
Sarah didn't give you much
time to call me, did she ?"
The gray eyes twinkled and Ron
MES laughter was whole-hearted.
Finally she joined him in it. But
she was here" she insisted. And
there I sat waiting for a ring. Ron
ME, if I were still ten I'd box your
ears"
He sobered and the weary look
came back. Wouldn't it be swell
to be ten again ? Linda, how do
people get in such complications ?"
She waited while the waiter put
a tall lemonade IN front u her
She slipped it slowly, then said:
rs that the matter, Ronnie ?"
He nodded ruefully. "Sarah's a
good kid, but she doesn't know
you cant grab off men like you do
bracelets or furs. Nobody ever
taught her. And why she should
decide to add my scalp is beyond
my limited reasoning. But she's
been proposing and, golly, 1 never
had to say no to girl before"
But you said it?" Her eyes
dancing with laughter. So it was
Sarah who was the pursuer. Life
was still a smooth road.
