On the basis of his Paramount
act, the old hands ir show business
are predicting a bright future for
Herbert, and, so great is the de-
mand for comics, he seems a cinch
to be grabbed off quickly for

CHAPTER vi

Jane, head bent, hands in her
pockets, collided with Tips a sec
ond time and with almost as much
force. He held her for a moment
to steady her. Then he let her
go. He said, Its four days since
I've even had a glimpse of you.
Darling, this is the first evening
I've had free for a week. Would
you spend it with me?"
She looked at him. Then she
withdrew her arm. No. No, she
wouldn't, she told herself firmly,
fighting against a very real urge
to fall in with this suggestion.
mo, I can't, Tips. I'm on duty
at ten," she said, as if that settled
it.
THAT'S all right. It's barely
seven now. I'll get you back in
plenty of time"
mo"
He gripped her arms. He shook
her half playfully, half in earnest.
Listen to me. Why won't you
ever come out with me?"
Jane lied convincingly: "Be
cause I don't want to-"
''You don't really care a darn
about me?"
mo"
He stood looking down at her,
his eyes searching her face in the
dim light. A bleak depression held
Jane, She wished from the very
bottom of her heart that she'd
never met him. She wondered
what was the matter with her.
Why hadn't she the courage to
do what she wanted and spend
the evening with him? Why hang
back? Why bother about Iris
Stanton? But she was bothering,
so much that she said, a sharp
edge to her voice and a CLEAN in
her eyes: eff l won't dine with
you, take it you won't neces-
sarily spend lonely evening""
He drew a long whistle. His
face cleared. $50 that's it, is it?
You're jealous of Iris"
ooh, don't be silly! Of course
I'm not jealous!"
His hands came down on her
shoulders. ''You are, but you
haven't the honesty to admit it
either to yourself or to me- Well,
that's all right with me. I'll wait,
One day you'll come to your
senses. But I'm sick of groveling
and scraping and begging you to
come out with me. Next time you

and 1 60 places together it will
be because you ask me. And
maybe I'll throw a fit of temper
ament then and say I don't want
to-"
With this he was gone, striding
angrily away from her toward
his car parked outside the main
building. He drove swiftly
away and turned in the direction
'of Stretton. Blast the girl! he
thought bitterly. Blast all wo-
men! Then he paused, found a
coin and in the light from the
dashboard tossed it. Heads you

1t came down tails. He tried
again and it was tails second
time. He drew up outside Iris
door and footed the horn. In a
moment she was beside the car.
Aren't you coming in?"
81 don't know. I don't think so.
1 thought you might like to come
up to town and have dinner with
me-"
Iris said she would and then
decided that she wouldn't. It was
rotten night for a twenty-mile
drive.

mot in blackout. No, come in
and have some food with me. I'm
all alone. Guys not coming back
till God knows what hour.
There's some cold chicken and a
salad. Alice is out but she's left
everything ready"
Tips hesitated. Food, he de-
cided, didn't really interest him.
"And there's plenty of drink, %
went on Iris, encouragingly.
That settled it. He ran the car
over to the side of the road, fol-
lowed Iris into the house and
closed the door. There was a
fire burning in the hearth and in
a moment she was shaking him
a cocktail. He had three and
felt very much better. He had a
fourth and felt grand. She said
softly, I'm so glad you dropped
in, Tips. 1t seems ages since I
saw you"
He got up from his chair and
strolled over to the fireplace. He
stood with his back to it, looking
across at Iris. "Chicken and salad
were promised me-" he reminded
her, purposely changing the con-
verSation, and added that he was
hungry.

saw the house, long and oblong
and without a flicker of light. She
leaned her bicycle against the

front door. She rang the bell and
waited. She could hear it echoing
through the house. For a few mo-
ments there was no sound Within
She pressed her finger on the lit

again, her temper rising.

approaching and the sound of

against the light of the hall, Jane
took in at a glance the rumpled
hair and the brightness of her
eyes. "Who is it? Who's ringing
like that?"
"Is Tips here?" demanded Jane
sharply.

He needed no urging to be on
his way. With a quick good night
to Iris he snatched up his hat and
dashed from the house. At the
gate he turned and called back
to Jane, you'd better come along
with me-"
Il wouldn't go with you,''
stormed Jane bitterly, eff the air

inch of the way to get there"

sharp with evaporation. eff that's
how you feel about it."
She heard the door of the car
slam, roar as he reversed, and
then he drove away. Clearly he
had only one thing in mind now
to get back to the station as
quickly as possible.
She turned and would have left
the house, but Iris Stanton caught
her by the arm and swung her
violently around. "You little fool!

She'd known of course that Guy

that was a rebuff but she didn't
mind. "Chicken and salad it shall
be-" she said with smile. Come
along, it's all ready"
But they couldn't eat chicken
and salad all the evening. Tips
realized this almost with regret
and decided that it hadn't, after
all, been such a good idea to drop
in on Iris. He tried to put all
thoughts of Jane from him. If he
could only manage this he and
Iris might even yet have quite a
good evening. He glanced at the
time as they returned to the sit
ting room, and saw that it was
arly half-past eight. "You
wouldn't like to go to the pic
tures?"
Iris looked at him from beneath
lowered lashes.

pictures"
Tips sighed. 81 was afraid the
idea wouldn't appeal to you"
"Why did you suggest it them"
Because it rather appeals to
me-"
She wrinkled her nose at him.

He lighted a cigarette and help
ed himself to another drink.
'Tips?"
what is it,"
you're different"
I'm sorry"
Iris drew a quivering BREATH
She wondered whether perhaps
this was an occasion for frank
ness. She knew it didn't pay as
rule, but it might be worth try
ing. "Tips, darling" she whisper
ed softly, you do love me just a
little bit, don't you? I'm so crazy
about you"
Tips sat down beside her and
said she was sweet and of course
he was very fond Of her. He told
himself that surely this must be
true. Otherwise he'd never have
spent so much time with her.
Only now there was Jane =. but
he couldn't explain this to her.
The ringing of the telephone
bell mercifully interrupted what
threatened to become a difficult
situation. Iris rose to her feet and
now Tips could hear her talking
in the next room for some time.
At last she returned. He looked
up at her as she entered the room.
" Anybody Interestingly" he asked
lazily.
mo. Only some dreary woman
asking me to lunch tomorrow"
She stopped to poke the fire to
I blaze. He noticed in a vague
kind of way that her face was
very pale and her hands were
shaking She was talking very
fast and very volubly, insisting
that he must have another drink
since the night was yet young.
What was the time? Only quar-
ter to nine. When he said that
perhaps after all he should be
getting on his way.
I'm due back at the airdrome

ing here at ten-thirty."
She leaned on her elbow and
stared at him with something
mysterious in her eyes. ELEVEN
o'clock did you say you must be
back?"
"On the dot!'
'"That's all right. I'll see you go
in time. Don't worry. I won't let
you be late, I promise you"
Hunter closed the front door
behind her and said that it was
as cold as charity outside. She
looked at Jane and Sparks, who
were in the kitchen making tea,
and said that she had an idea she
was hungry.
"Have piece of CAKE" said
Sparks warmly.
