CHAPTER XXX
THE morning after the pitting
party at Peggy's apartment
Betty awakened with a head
ache. She lay Ions In bed, debat
ing the problem of the evening be
fore. She had certainly not crab
bed the party! She had taken ev
ery drink offered her; once when
dancing with Andy she was quite
dizzy. '.
She felt she had qualified as a
'good fellow" by dancinz in Pee-
wjgy's bathing suit. None of them
seemed to think it out of the or
dinary, so she felt no qualms at
wearing It for the rest of the evening.
Andy and this group were all
the friends she had left, now that
George Harris had suggested that
she stay away from his restaur
ant until she stopped dancing. She
had not told hira there was little
chance for her to dance again
while Daubert ODDosed her.
She felt a certain pride in suf
fering thus for Andy's sin. It was
tno numiliatlon of the black eye
Andy bad given him which made
Uaubert so bitter arainst her
She shuddered at what might have
napponed had Andy not come
when he did.
Harry Ford said you either had
to work yourself to death in or-
aer to eat or eat yourself to death
to use vp the money for which
you worked, so she decided as she
had money enough to run her for
anotner month, she would' not
worry.
She took her shower, and don
ning her bathing suit, went

j.bility of getting work from Jack
T"arker, the local manager, but
her pride would not permit her
to go back, to him after she had
lost positions at both the Orphe
iuu picture house and the Iron
Ioor night club.
As she finished dressing, ready
t go out for breakfast, the wom
an who kept the rooming house
called that someone wanted her
on the telephone.
"How is the world's best dan
cer and worst drinker, this morn
tag?" asked Andy's voice.
"I'm all right." she answered.
"No katzenjammer?
"What's that?"
"If you have to ask what It Is
you have r-erer had it. It Is the
result of which liquid -libations
are the causa." ;rr
"I had a headache." said Betty
"if that's what you mean."
"Those are them!' Suppose I
come around and take you for a
ride."
"I haven't had any breakfast.
so don't come yet."
"Neltherhave L Well break a
bit of toast together. I'll be right
oyer."
lis took, her to a small tea room
on the edge of the city, where they
had coffee and toast. Betty refus
ing orange Juice, much to Andy'
amusement. "Too reminiscent of
last night!" he laughed.
"Andy, I must be sarlous T7lth
you. I have to find a Job and find
it quickly. I have very little
money."
"Let's wait till tomorrow, won't
you? My allowance check has Just
come and I would like to eat high
wide and handsome today. Walt
till tomorrow to talk about a
Job!"
He drove her far out into the
country, to a little lake, nestling
in the woods, parked the car. un
der a low, overhanging tree, and
tossed aside his hat.
"Happy?" heasked, kissing
her.
"No. Andy, I'm not happy." She
sighed. "I have been insulted till
I am miserable. Do you know that
after the woman where I room
read that thing in the Tattler she
asked me to move?"
"The darned old fool!"
"She may be that, Andy, but ft
shows what people think of girl;
who dance for a living. The scene
with Daubert is another indica
tion. I must find other work.?i 1
"But you promised to forget
that until tomorrow!" he re
minded. "At least. I must find another
room. Would you mind driving
me around to look at those adver
tised in the newspapers?"
"I will do anything you like to
morrow, but let's forget it for to
day!"
"Why tomorrow?"
"You may feel differently to
morrow. Anyway, one day will
not hurt. Will you drop it till
then If I promise to do whatever
you like tomorrow?"
"Certainly!" agreed Betty.
He put his arm around her. pull
ed her head down on his shoul
der and said: "Then Just let's be
happy today, sweetheart."

"You haven't a chance dancing

It will be- an uphill struggle all
the way In ihl town or any oth
er town. Why not givep;yotir
dancing career and make . me a
career?" -
"Are you proposing to, me?"
asked Betty. ' ;
' "No, I am not. he answered.
"If I married a dancing girl my
father would throw me out and
we would both starve. I think you
are the sweetest thing, in the
world. I am always happy when
with you. Aren't you always nap
py with me?"
"Yes." Betty was puiiled.
: "Thon why shouldn't we be with
each other more? You aren't to
blame because you can't make a
living dancing. It's the only thing
you know how to do.' I'm not to
blame because I can't make a liv
ing at anything. I hare always
been a spoiled boy. I fo around
every nlgiit, drinking and doing
all kinds of things I shouldn't do.
When I am with you I don't do
them. You have a good; effect op
me. Think about me taking you
home last night." t
"Why did you?" asked Betty.
."You know darned well why I
did! At least you know what
might have happened If I hadn't.
Don't you?" f
"Maybe I do assented Betty,
reluctuantly.
"Well, that's never going to
happen when you are tight, or
me, either!" -

at the word. They sat with little
conversation till the reflection of
the sun on the water came Into
their eyes, showing that It was
nearly sunset.
"We must eat!" Andy spoke
suddenly. "Come on, I know a
quiet roadhouse where we can be
all by ourselves."
"I don t want to go any place,
any time, for any reason," an
nounced Betty. "I have been too
happy here with you this after
noon!" "You darling!" replied Andy.
5lving her a Equeeze!"
He drove half a dozen miles to
a quiet-looking little house. As
he got out of the car he reached
Into one of the pockets and took
out a flask.
"Oh, Andy! I don't like to drink!
Please leave it in tho car."
"Just one b9fore dinner. It
will make you feel better. The
bite. Join me in Just one and nei
ther of us will take another. One
drink never hurt anyone!"
"I will take one If your prom
ise that we will not take another.
But Andy. I don't like drinking.
I don't want to get into the habit."
"You are a wise girl. Stick to
that and you'll be better off," he
assured her.
He ordered dinner and two bot
tles of ginger ale. Before It was
poured he put a small quantity
of brown liquor into one glass,
and a larger quantity into the oth
er. "See, I gave you a short one!"
he said.
Betty tasted the gihgerale and
found It not unpalatable. She ate
ravenously, and chattered Inces
santly all through dinner. They
had a merry time. True to his
promise, Andy did not touch the
flask again. He put it back in the
pocket of the car when they went
out.
He bought gas for the car and
sped for the main highway, where
he tossed aside his hat and she
did the same. They ran through
the balmy night, the searchlights
picking up the white ribbon of
the road ahead. Betty wished she
could ride ou taus forever. She
snuggled to him and kissed him
on the cheek.
Andy seemed to know where he
was going. At the forks of the
road he turned Into a side road of
gravel. On the top of a high hill
he parked the car at one side of
the road where they could look
down at the lights of a little vil
lage in the valley.
"Betty." he began, "I want to
talk to you. You may not like
it at first, and maybe not at last
but I got to say It, anyway. I had
this in mind when I asked you to
wait until tomorrow about the Job
and the room.
