IT'S YOU I WANT !
i j --:,; By ALLENE CORLISS' ;
!) CHAPTER XIII .-
1 jThe cab stopped in front of Hes
ter Prentice's house.; Whitney said:
"Good-by, Scott . . i" and felt his
arms go around her.;
IShe pushed him away. She said:
T thought we agreed that that was
no good. We era bcth pretty . de
cent people, Scott. Let's not forget
that. Ever." '.;
He stared at ftr a moment, his
eyes frowning. Then he said:
"You're right, of course. You're aw
fully ; right. Will I see you again
before Thursday night ,
f "I don't know. At th game, to
morrow:. . ." . -. . i
"Of course. Well all go on to the
Club afterward and dance ...
For a moment their hands clung
together. For a moment it seemed
almost like last year . . . the game
tomorrow ... the stadium packed,
crowds cheering, the band playing,
a voice yelling through a mega
phone. Fur coats and frozen feet
and at the end a mob swarming for
the goal posts and the sky rust-red
and gray in the west and shoulders
: pushing you and Tod buying Har
vard banners and everyone rushing
- for the subway and making dates to
meet later and yelling where . ,
"Tomorrow, then. At the game.
, We've all seats together probably.
Red Towner is getting them for
us:.." .. . y ':
"I'm having dinner with -Red
later ... at the Copley."
"Swell. We're dining with Kay
but going on there later ..."
Her hand slid away from his. She
left him and ran up the steps. But
once inside the door, she moved
slowly up the stairs. For a moment
: there in that deep, blue dusk every-
thing was different. Or was it? Scott
still loved her. Tomorrow, Harvard
i played Dartmouth. Tomorrow night,
i she would dance at the Copley. She
i would be with Red Towner. But
i Scott would be there . . .
I The baby spotlight swung past the
gold horns of the band, swept
whitely across the floor of the Cop
ley. Plaza ballroom, found Whitney
dancing with Red: Towner, and tJ.
lowed her. relentlessly for the space
. cf perhaps three minutes. Red didn't
mind. He liked it. If it had been
any other girl but Whitney, it would
have bothered him. He would have
squirmed and felt i uncomfortable
, and been relieved when it moved on.
But with Whitney it was different
You felt a little grateful for the
spotlight. You felt it was indicated.
That wherever she went it should be
this way ... he thanked heaven that
' if he wasn't much goed at upholding
the family traditions in investment
banking, at least he could dance . . .
He said: "It's. been a swell fall,
i Whitney . . . we've had a lot of fun,
ha vent we?? .
His voice was wistful. Whitney,
i who hadn't thought of him eon-
i sciously for hours, was suddenly,
guiltily aware, of him. She smiled
at him. She said: M Yes, Red, we
' have - ' !-- -; .- 1-- -
Three months since that first
' night he had brought her here to
the Copley to dnce after the. Har
vard Dartmouth football game,
Three months during which she
danced with him pretty continu
ously, here and there and elsewhere
It bad been October then and Boston
had been beautiful. How it was De
cember. It was nearly January.
-Christmas was over; .- -
It had been a white Christmas.
:And they had all had dinner at the
farm with Adam Prentice. An enor
mous dinner served in seven courses
in the middle of the day. Holly
wreaths tied with scarlet ribbon at
the windows. Three Irish setters

brisk buying movement In I the
lastf 15 minutes of trading today
following disclosure that the gov
eminent nad paid as mgn ! as
80A cents a bushel for1 wheat
in expanding its export subsidy
program caused a strong rally
in wheat futures that wiped out
eirly losses and substituted net
fractional gains.
Dealers who previously : had
sold wheat "short" and today
fcovered their positions after the
premiums paid by the govern
ment were announced were be
lieved to have been buyers. Com
mercial interests who had sold to
the government and were listing
hedges by purchasing futures
either at Kansas City or Chicago
also were credited with aid in
the recovery. The government
was reoprted buying southwest
hard wheat, much of which Is
understood to be hedged In ' this
market. ' ' f
Deliveries Are Heavy
After trading ceased the clear
ing house disclosed, that 3,685,
000 bushels of wheat had been
tendered to satisfy September
contracts tomorrow and that- 2,
609,000 bushels were retendered.
This amount of delivery on con
tracts is unusually large for the
first day, traders said. !

day's finish, Sept. 63, Dec. 64

Rain aided some pastures but
dry conditions existed on- many
unirrigated sections. Range feed
was failing in several areas but
the grass . continued better than
usual. v
quented the same ballrooms and
supper clubs. It was inevitable. It
had begun that night after the Harvard-Dartmouth
game and it had
gone on ever since. There was noth
ing premeditated about it. Nothing
arrarered. It just happened. ' Oc
casionally it didn't work out right.
Occasionally they went to different
places. Sometimes a whole week
would pass and they wouldn't see
each other. T3en at a cocktail party
she would look up and there he
would.be. They would greet each
other casually, over the heads of
people, with perhaps no more than
the quick lifting of a hand. But they
would know. A nartv that had bn
just a party would suddenly; be
something else. The room would
come alive, would glow and sparkle.
Everyone would immediately seem
amusing ana orignt ana tnere would
be much to laugh about and the hour
would beat and .throb with lif and
all her nerves would sing with a sort
ox quiet ecstasy. All this because
that other person breathed the same
air, shared the same firelight, was

someone always cutting in. Drag
ging her away. When she wanted so
to stay. But that was part of the
bittersweet potency of the situation.
That anything they had now must
be temporary, impermanent, illusive
as a smoke ring, tenuous as a day
dream...
It could so easily have been other
wise. They could have secretly met
in out-of-the-way restaurants and
tearooms. They could have sat in
small, dark movie theaters and held
hand. They could have arranged
that more often their evenings
should be spent in the same plaee.
But they didnt. They had never dis
cussed it. They had never mentioned
it again after the first day in the
cab. It had just been something they
had arrived at without words. It
had something to do with Scott's
having said: "I've tried to make her
happy . :. it's the least I can do, isn't
it?" With her having said: "We're
two pretty decent people, Scott . . .
let's not forget that. : Ever."
