his head. "Thanks, Johnny," he
said stiffly, "but wo don't need

Johnny looked so crestfallen, so
injured, that Jan said, "It was
sweet to think of ine, but Lance
Is right, Johnny. I'm definitely
not the type they'd want. I'd have
stage fright and jitter all over

is. 1 don t want her made into a
painted, slinking munuoriuin. Just
because I can't take care of her
Is no reason she" the anger died
suddenly from bis voice and he
seemed to shrink into his shell
of meager flesh. "Do as you

Another Coney Island
Jan, alone In tho big silent
downstairs, took her account book
ifroin the kitchen cupboard and
i settled down at the table, worry-
ing a stub of pencil with her
teeth. Taxes were duo In April.
Outrageous t..xes. because the
liouse chose to sit on a choice
piece of beach front. She could
not possibly pay the taxes with
what she had saved and what
little money would be coming In.
Upstairs there were five bed
rooms, all In use. Derek, she de
cided, would have to give up his
room and either put up a tent
on the roof or take the davenport
in the living room, for she must
have another twenty dollars a
month to add to Johnny's twenty
and Norma's forty. It was fortu
nate that Norma like boarding
trouble and the extra, money was
a life saver. Eighty dollars a
moiilh plus n liltle now and then
from Derek and the sale of
Lance's plane models would pull
them through.
She found a hammer and a few
tacks, totaled the "Itoom for
Kent" sign she'd used Inst year
and tacked it up at the side of
lh front door. Putting down the
hammer, she shoved her hands I
into the pockets of blue jeans
and strolled up toward Ihe pier,
thinking she'd drop In and talk
to Frank awhile. The night was
clear and chill. A slice ot moon
hung like u suspended cradle
over the water and thousands
of clean, white slars dotted the
upturned cup of the sky.
Several persons called to her
