Rose answered her complaint.
you'd better be glad they're doing
all that construction during the
summer so your clients won't be
annoyed"
Il am, in way, but I'm a little
tired Of the boss being annoyed.
Anyway. I'm selfish about this cor
ner. I don't want a building next
to us at all. It will ruin our south
ern light"
And probably increase your
business so per cent. Stop fussing!"
Nevertheless, she. too, wrinkled her
already creased forehead over the
crashing racket Of cement mixers
and pounding and loud voices. .
A little before 3 o'clock, Ylena
dressed Carlyle in. a short white
dotted Swiss dress and play san
dals.
"Davy is coming to see you,
darling. You'll have to play in your
room. It's much too hot in the
patio now"
She left the little girl clipping
FIRST one hair-bow and then another
before her small, white-rufled
dressing table mirror. In her own
bedroom Ylena ran the comb
through her long blond bob and put
on fresh lip rouge. Then she
stepped out on the narrow grilled
balcony that overlooked the street.
The heat was so intense. so thick
and penetrating that it almost cut
her breath. There wasn't a sign OF
cloud, not even a dull touch on
the horizon that limited Of a sand
storm.
She started to step back into the
gratifying comfort Of expert air
cooling, then loitered still another
instant to watch the workmen OF
the adjoining building. Swelterinp
beneath the incredible, glassy-hot
sun, they were struggling to put
wooden forms into place. The girl
watched them tie and bolt a form.
then start filling it with the heavy
concrete mixture. What terrible
work, she thought, looking at mus
cles straining beneath wet, blue
work shirts, and burned faces.
beaded with sweat.
She knew something was wrong
by the expression on the face of the
big red-headed worker. Insecure
at the base, and over balanced by
the pouring cement, the form was
ulting toward the street. Suddenly
that look Of terror left the red
haired man. He shouted and threw
bracing rope about the still-tilted
form. A second man caught IT,
Others ran across the narrow GRID
ers to help. 1t was useless. They
knew 1t even while their bodies
ached with senseless exertion.
Let co." Ylena screamed. Let

street,
Her eyes soaght the pavement

Davy beside her. When Ylena
screamed at Francie she knew the
words were a strangled nothing in
her throat. Yet they must not have
been, because the dark girl looked
up.
All In one instant, she scooped
Davy into her strong arms and
nurtled him across the sidewalk to
safety. Spellbound, yet shaking in
7 nghtmarish lack of control.
Ylena saw clawing fingers Of the
%orkmen release the rope. When
she pulled knotted fists from her
1ery eyes a second later, she knew
hat Francie was dead.

slice OF cake, Ylena moved over TO
a table at the far end Of the room
to admire some Of the anniversary
gifts There she found Francie.
Hello, there, Francie. Are you
the guard ?"
The girl smiled family. ITS so
crowded in there-so noisy" Her
voice dwindled into nothing.
So crowded. That was the real
reason. Francie wished to avoid the
eyes Of everyone in that room.
Looking at her, the blond girl felt
miserable with pity. Francie was
there, yet she wasn't there. Unob-
trusive. Feeling how unwanted she
was. Still, to the ordinary observer
she did not appear maltreated by
the Cromwells.
Ylena looked deeply into the
misfortunate girls brooding eyes.
Come to see me tomorrow-about
three. Carlyle will be through nap
ping then. She's getting anxious to
play with Davy."
"I'll- be there" Francie said. She
clutched the other girls black
gloved hand, THANK you, Ylena."
Scott moved over to speak to
Francie, and Ylena strolled back
into the crowd to greet some peo-
pie she hoped to obtain as custom
ers. I'm a mercenary business wom-
an, she thought, as she smiled and
talked about everything except
house decorating. But she was no
worse than Barker, joining every
club in La MADEIRA for business
purposes.
The woman who was talking
ceased speaking for a moment to
murmur, Hello, Tate"
Ylena turned. Forcing herself to
be casual. she, too. murmured,
Hello, Tate"
With rather feeble excuses, the
woman moved away and Ylena was
alone with Tate.
Trust old Mrs. Matthews to be
an understanding angel. She knew l
wanted to talk to you"
But Tate, can't just stand here
in the center Of the floor with you"
Swiftly she stole a glance about
the room. 1.-The others have liter
ally cleared ring about us" She
turned troubled green eyes on him.
1T embarasses me-"
Then come into the library with
me-" he urged tensely in a low
voice. "Oh, Ylena, you look so love-
ly and I'm so crazy about you. 1t
makes me sick-I love you that
much and, darling, I've never once
given up hope. I'm going to have
you yet" He broke Off exasperated-
ly as Scott Hamilton came up and
put a proprietary hand on the girls
elbow.
"We'c better be going, Ylena."
She had a moment of wishing he
would not be so officious before they
were in the silver-green machine
headed toward Ylena's apartment.
What are you trying to DO, Ylena?

forted herself with the thought
that fish would forget Scott Ham

And she was right. During the

In Bermuda. She wrote: He will

Scott grinned. Eyes. I don't know
why, unless I'm for her brother to
throw rocks at"
Ylena urged, Gould I get you to
act as my escort? ?"
",'aybe." Scott demurred, IF
you beg"
Diseusted with herself, Ylena
realized she was dressing for Tate,
not for her escort. She wore a
black chiffon dress, splattered with
huge pink roses and pink pearls
embroidered in the pattern Of the
fragile black lace yoke. Her hat
was black and immense, with one
gigantic pink rose resting under
the brim, next TO her blond hair.
She added long black gloves, and a
little bob-tailed jacket OF black
taffeta and went to meet Scott
Hamilton.
IF you're not the most gorgeous
woman in the world, you'll do until
one comes along" He led her out
to a sleek silvery-green car.
Scott" She stopped and stared.
"What a beauty"
Runs, too. Get in," he directed,
and they headed toward the Crom-
well residence in exclusive Las
Palmos. II had to have something
better than station wagon to haul

In an eghast voice, she ques-

"Oh, no! It's around for second

The girl sighed with relief. Pm

has helped me so often. And 1t has

"Sure!" He glided up behind the
string of cars at the Cromwell res
tdence, "a rafting soul"
Ylena tried not to look for Tate
the moment she entered the door.
Instead, she held on to Scott's arm
and paid her respects to Mr.. and |
Mrs. Cromwell, Sr Next she re-
ceived cordial greetings from
Diane and Percy Both had been
