the slender shoulders that had
taken on so much just for him
| he wanted to draw them to him.
And he wanted to whisper in her
dear ear all the thousands Of
words of apology that were turn
bling and rolling about in his heart.
But, unaccountably, he was afraid
to do any of the things he wanted
to do.
It was Tnette who finally said:
Couldn't we walk up the
beach? The fog is beautiful"
And SO they did walk up the
beach quite long way. They did
not walk arm in arm, they were
not holding hands-there was no
communion of any kind. They
might just as well have been two
strangers lost in the Swirling fog
bank, two strangers wandering
along the shore of the brooding
waters. The silence grew unbear-
able; and finally Bruce CROPPED for
and found one of T'nette's hands.
"We're not walking to San Fran
cisco, are WEI" And then he was
no longer afraid. Roughly his
arms encircled her, mink cape and
all. He forced her face upward
until it became dinly discernible
in the shifting mist.
"You insane little fool" he
cried. "Don't you know that no
matter what I do, or where / 60,
or how I seem to neglect you
don't you know you're all that
matters, that without you"
"But why?" Her eyes searched
his and she swallowed hard, ''wny
did you look at me tonight that
way, as if were a-well, ] don't
know what?"
He could not tell her of the
thoughts and desires that had filed
him, nor of the shock the red
dress had caused.
"You just didn't give me time to
catch my breath"
She did not appear to be con.

words; for words are such fallible
things. He sought her lips, and
they were sweet and pure, and
ripe.

Chapter Is

THE soiled house dress told its
own story. Poignantly it made
clear the lonely course T'nette's
life had wendell during the past
months. Bruce found himself cross
ing the room, hot tears singing
his eyes. And then he was wrap
ping Tnette's mink cape around
her, gathering herup as one sweeps
a forlorn child to ones breast.
She fought him--a little. And that
was far worse than if she had
struggled violently; for it seemed
to prove more than ever how she
had been beaten down.
But when he started to put her
into the car she became a little
tigress.
where are you taking me?''
she cried. Even if am properly
gowned now, Tn not going will,
you-ever again"
ooh, yes, you are" His voice
was overpowering. With main
force he threw her into the car,
leapt in behind the steering wheel,
careened out of the driveway and
went speeding westward along
Ventura Boulevard toward the
sea.
They had not driven far when
she turned to him. In terrifying
impersonal way she said:
isn't the dance in the other di-
rection?"
Were not going to the dance"
He had the good sense not to say
any more. And he kept telling
himself that if he could get her TO
the beach, if they could walk bare
footed in the wet sand, with the
froth of the spent waves gurgling
around their feet, and with the
moon helping out--if he could
only get her there, everything
would be all right.
But when he finally wheeled the
convertible down onto the Roose-
welt Highway and parked it on
the bluff overlooking the Pacific,
there was no moon to help him
out. Instead, clouds of fog were
swirling in from the sea so thick
that even the lights of Santa Mon
lea pier were curtained.
He switched off the ignition.
Without knowing what he was GO
ing to do next, and ashamed of his
juvenile impetuosity he turned to
T'nette. He wanted to slip his arm
around her. He wanted to draw

To Place Beetle
Traps In County

Forty or more Japanese bcttle
traps are being placed in the county
this week for the purpose Of checking
the appearance Of these pests, it was
announced by John H. Carter, county
agricultural agent.
Twenty-Five or thirty are being
placed in the Oakland area and about
10 others at Grantsville, Accident,
Friendsville, Red House and Bloom
ington.
Mr.. Carter explained that these
were Scouting traps" designed to
check whether or not the beetles were
nfesting this area. Thus far only a
few have been trapped in this county,
as the climate is not thought to be
conducive to their spread. A few have
been found in the Bloomington area,
next to Allegany county, but in prev
ous years not more than dozen
have been trapped in the higher alti-
tudes.
He said he would appreciate hear
ing from any person who feels that
there are beetles in his particular
area and the Extension service will
try to place a trap there.
The Japanese beetle is destructive
to more than 200 kinds of vegetables
fruits, flowers, grasses, etc.
