I'VE COULDN'T possibly SSH y,,,I marry said laid
at Princevlle capital of Karpeti, island re-
public in the West Indies, 10 Sandra Red
cliffe, glamorous heiress citing her great
wealth as a barrier. She had called on him
after he had been mysteriously shot by
secret enemy Her call followed a dramatic
meeting a short time before. Her wealthy
fiance Peter Slade had crashed his plane on a
Karpati beach where Ashley watching for
Nazi activities. Peter had flown her from
New York TO visit her father, Clifford Red
cliffe, plantation owner, who had taken into
his home Felcite Perrier, vivacious French
refugee.
Sandra had hurt her ankle and Ashley
played host TO her in his lonely cabin while
Peter set out 20 find car to take her TO
Princevie. Mistaking Ashley for a beach
comber Sandra tried TO reform him. A stu.
dent of economics and finance, she had her
own ideas on love and marriage. Ashley
scoffed when she explained she was marrying
Peter because their interests were similar.
Lets admit you're not in love with your
fiance" he said lat least not as you might
be in love with one man some day-that is if
you have it in you" why should you think
! haven't il in me-" she asked whereupon he
kissed her passionately, and she kissed him.
Then he left her.
Meanwhile Peter ran into June Martin,
Ashleys attractive secretary in a stalled car.
In love with Ashley she was bringing an Of
ficial message TO him 10 return at once. He
had told her before leaving for his cabin that
ne liked her better than any girl he had ever
met and someday might marry her and had
discussed with her the rich and clever Sandra
whose arrival was expected, declaring he had
no Use for hciresses or brainy women.
When Peter appeared in the dark, he tried
vainly 10 start Junes car. At daylight. they
got IT going and after Peter had arranged for
transportation for Sandra and himself TO
Princeviile, arrived at the cabin. When Sandra
learned who the absent 'beachcomber" was.
she was angry and Inundated and left with
Peter without seeing Ashley.
That night at party given by her father,
she did see him again. Her father turning on
a floodght revealed them In the garden in
each others arms. Peter with June witnessed
the scene Ssndra fed 10 her room. Peter
followed and she practically told him their
engagement was off. a little later while
riding with June Ashley was mysteriously
shot in the shoulder Sandra went 10 see
him and sgowed her love for him IT was
then he told her they could never mary
When she insisted, he reiterated his decision
and hoped she would forget him.
June reproved Ashley for his action in the
garden and turned on Peter when he took her

is spun Ours might turn out well or it might
not. Are you willing to chance it
Yes, oh yes Ashley"
LER eyes were shining in the moonlight.
There were tears in them. He turned his
head aside. He didn't want to see those tears
They reminded him Of tears he'd seen in an
other girls eyes and he didn't want to think
Of them. Or of anything about her The feel
OF her in his arms. The sweetness of her lips
The dear stupidity of her thinking that he,
Ashley Wood, could marry a mionairess, or
even millionaire's daughter. But it isn't
only the money" he thought. BLAST it,
can't be so petty as that"
No, not only the money. The life she'd ex-
pect him 10 lead. II was too late FOR him to
change and he couldn't bear a woman he loved
TO be dsillusipned in him. June knew him for
what he was She wouldn't expect miracle
or even want one.
He heard her say, with a half broken
laugh; Are we engaged Ashley?"
He turned back towards her; his hand
dropped from her shoulder, and he stood be-
