He grabbed her wrist. "Let's go in," he said, nodding toward the water. "Go ahead, IH Join you la a minute, Tm waiting for Sue to bring my bathing cap out I don't want to spoil this permanent.'' She watched Larry plunge Into the water. He came up spouting. Someone touched her on the shoulder. It was Dugan. "I'm go ing to collect that bet we made," he said somewhat grimly. Swiftly, but all too late, she remembered their golf wager. CHE screamed but he already had scooped her up Into his arms. She tried to hang onto his neck but he pried her loose. There was a flash of gold in the glow of the spotlights, and she went sailing up and outward. Even as she flew through the air, the realized that he had handled her 115 pounds as though she were a cork. Then the water closed over her. She came up gasping, her wet hair matting in her eyes. "Oooh, my permanent," she groaned, and from the side of the pool Sue Bishop, Charley Gilroy and Bruce Meade roared at her. A brown body flashed overhead, and Dugan was in the water be tide her. "Sorry, couldn't resist It," he grinned. "Anyway, you had It coming, you know." She lunged at him but he laughed mockingly and moved away with a surge of power. Breathless, Barbara swathed herself in a huge terry cloth robe. "I thought I was flying," she said to Sue. "You were flying," Sue replied. "He could have thrown you all the way across the pool if he had wanted to." JT was hours later, when every one was asleep, that Barbara sat up suddenly in bed. She listened carefully. There It was again. That little noise she had been hearing for the last few min utes. She slipped into her slip pers and robe and went to the door. She looked at her watch. Two- thirty. Everyone should have been in bed long ago. Curiosity re placed fear as she started down the winding stairway. The noise she had heard came from the kitchen, and it sounded like the rattling of pans. She opened the kitchen door noiselessly and gaped at what she saw. Dugan Blake, also in robe and slippers, stood at the stove scrambling eggs. Quietly she tip-toed around to the pantry and picked up a paper bag. She blew It up and returned to the kitchen. Just as Dugan was taking the eggs from the stove, she smashed the bag with ex plosive force. Dugan Blake seemed to leap two feet oft the floor. The frying pan struck the edge of the table and, bounced back up toward his taoe. When it was all over, Dugan was spread on the floor, halt the eggs in his hair. Barbara sat down on the floor. She laughed until it felt as though her sides would split. She looked at him and laughed some more. And then slowly through the eggs on his face he grinned back, "You almost killed me." "I should have," she gasped, "but that was close enough for me." He got to his feet and offered his hand to pull her up after him. "I got hungry," he said, "and there was only one thing to do about it." "I suppose I should offer to fix some more eggs for you," she said, "Okay, I will." "You're sure you won't poison them?" he said quizzically. Somehow that should have put her on the defensive again should have prompted her to an other barb and reawakened all her animosity. But It didn't It felt as though the ice were broken. It was quite unexplainable, but quite nice. She wondered if the some thought might be occurring to him as she turned to the stove. Barbara had her answer in a most startling manner. She didn't realize he was behind her until she felt his hands on her shoul ders. It was like an electric shock, but it was nothing compared with what followed. Almost in the same movement he turned her around. The next instant he had taken her in his arms, pressed his lips against hers. There was no time to react . . no time to think of what was hap pfning. All she knew, dimly, was that she was returning his kiss. (To Be Continued) LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE Fuss and Feathers By HAROLD GRAY s K v7T twi'fjaanw! yes--and am. Yes.
