The only other explanation for his taking her was one Sally did not somehow like to believe that Phil ip wanted to take her to dinner. "I don't mppote you'll ever come out with me again," said Bob con tritely. "I'm such good company. Griping about my own affairs all the time." "That's all right." said Sally, feel ing that they were pretty even, since she was not giving much thought to Bobs affairs. It was Bob, after all. who first saw Giles Benton. He and Sally were dancing near a door which opened on a small balcony overlook ing the lake. "Hello! There's our friend Ben ton." said Bob. "Where?" Sally demanded eager ly. "In the balcony with a lady. 1 dldnt know he knew anyone down here that Is, outside of Warren ton." Sally peered over Bob's shoulder, but the angle of the wall cut off her view of the couple on the bal cony. She did not like to ask Bob to stroll on the balcony with her. He would think It strange, and be sides she knew he disliked Ben ton for some unexplained reason. To her surprise, Giles Benton himself sought them out as they were leaving the ball room for the terrace.

You're working on the proof of McDonald's innocence" "I'm trying to find the man that Bentson used to help him." said Philip. "That's all that can save McDonald, even though he has your father fighting for him. "Then I'll work on Giles Benton," aid Sally. "I'll find out who Marty Is, and I'll bet she'll unravel a thing or two.' "I don't like your turning detec tive, said Philip. "You stick to your desk and stay away from Benton. 'Til do my work, of course," said Sally, with a mischievous smile. "But my time after office hours la my own.' "So you can be Impudent, loo," aald Philip. Tm finding out new things about you, Sally." "If I develop into a good detec tive, i may leave your employ." said Bally. "There must be a career for a really talented lady detective." "You might apply to Giles Ben ton," Phtltp suggested. "If I'm not mistaken you've found favor with Mm." Sally made a wry face. ".No thank you. I'll stick to my desk and wait for a better offer." 'There la a better offer waiting for you," Philip said, looking at her steadily. Sally flushed. Perhaps he was teasing her. she could never be sure whether he was serious or not. He had seemed serious enough the other night, when he had said nc loved her. "I must get to work,' said Sally, and fled to the outer office. She did not see Philip again that flay, except when he passed her door on the way to his own office. It was a long, hot day, and Sally was glad enough to get away at S o'clock. She stopped by the hospital to sec May, but she was not allowed to go in. May was "doing nicely" the nurse informed her, but she was still suffering fiem the effects of ether. Sally left her telephone number and went on to the Morris house. There was still time lor a dip in the pool before dinner. Sally changed Into her bathing suit and went down to the pool, where she found Mary In a deck chair, with Bob Dawes close beside her. "Darling, I'm so glad you've come," said Mary. "Bob's been ask ing me to marry him all afternoon and I'm absolutely worn out re fusing him. In another hour my resistance will be broken down and I may say 'yes' to get rid of him." "Will you go to dinner with me, Sally?" asked Bob Dawes, his face deeply flushed. "I told Dennison you'd both have dinner here," said Mary. "I'm go ing out and you shall have it alone together.'1 Sally felt sorry for Bob, who she thought deserved better treat ment at Mary's hands. She did not care for Marv's cruel teasing. "Mary can't order our lives." she told Bob airily. "Of course I'll have dinner with you anywhere you say." "If you don't mind too much, I wish you'd have dinner here as I asked you to," said Mary coldly. "Giles Benton has gone away for a day or two and since I have to go out dad will be all alone. He hates eating dinner alone. That's why I scarcely ever have a chance to go out. I'd counted on you and Sally to stay." "All right." said Sally. "We'll stay and keep him company, won t we. Bob?" Bob nodded unhappily. Sally knew better than to argue with Mary when she was in this mood, one could win by holding out long enough, but there was no fun win ning over Mary. Sally was curious about Mary's real reason for asking them to stay. She could not be lieve that Mr. Morris needed or wanted their company. As for Giles Benton being out of town, Sally was sure that meant he had gone to see "Marty." Hadn't taffy's alarmed for he cannot con trol His playmate as Johnny yells "There's the Booth Pole!"

CAW" By Mary Graham Bonner Over the snowy world, through the clear, cold air came the distant, faint sound of a voice that said: n. m n w Nfc 1 1 Caw!", lE-iaXJdo!" shouted 1 Wtllu Millo . started to run right out Into tlie snow. But it was so deep that he feu down. "Let me get a brush and sweep away some of this s n o w," quacked Mrs. Quacko. 'I'll get the snow shovel," said Willy Nilly. "Youll put on some dry things first." quacked Mrs. Quacko Duck. You re going to catch cold if you dont Hurry now. You want to be ready for Christopher." Willy Nilly smiled at Mrs. Quac- ko's fussy ways, but she was a sen sible duck, so he obeyed. "Can you hear him?" shouted Willy Nilly from his upstairs room, and in a Jiffy he was down again. He put on his tall snow boots and his coat and began to shovel a path in rront of the door. For now, clearer and clearer, came the lovely cawing music of Chris topher's voice, and it sounded strong snd full of good spirits. "There Isnt a lovelier sound In all the winter world than that of a crow cawing over the countryside," said Willy Nilly. "Caw, Caw, Cawt" came the call nearer and nearer and nearer. And now a shout went up from the Puddle Muddlers for, high in the sir, was Christopher. His black wings looked so wide and strong snd they were a beautiful sight sur rounded by a daullngly white, snowy World. "Christopher Columbus Crow!" called and barked and bleated and quacked and cackled the Puddle Muddlers. "Caw-caw. caw, I'm back and with news, too!" i Tomorrow "Christopher's Report" ' he told the mysterious Marty to leave town, and that he would see her in few days? if she knew where Giles had gone, she would know where Marty was. Dennison, the butler, unexpected ly supplied her with the informa tion she wanted. "Do you know where Mr. Benton went, Dennison?" Sally asked, when she happened to encounter the but ler in the hall as she was going down to dinner. "Yes, Miss Warren. I was put ting the bags In the car when Mr. Benton asked me about a short road to Hi Merest. I believe they're work-; lng on the highway but there Is a good dirt road. Mr. Benton likes the golf course at HiUcrest." There was a shade of disapproval in Dennison s voice, as if he deplor ed her interest In Giles Benton. "Thank you, Dennison," said Sal ly. She went on into the library to Join Bob Dawes, still .puzzling about Giles Benton. HiUcrest was a resort town for wealthy tourists from the north. Its golf course was famous and it was quite pos sible that Giles had gone there to play, if, on the other hand, he had gone to see Marty, she must be a woman of wealth. No one who stayed at HiUcrest could be other than prosperous. "I don't fancy spending the even ing in this morgue," Bob Dawes greeted her. "What about going out and finding some place to dance later?" "Good." said Sally. "What about HiUcrest?" "Anything you say," agreed Bob. "They've got a swell orchestra at the Gray inn this week." Sally was amazed by her own dar ing. If she and Bob Dawes went to the Gray inn, they could scarce ly fall to see Giles Benton If he were there. All the visitors at Hill- crest gathered in the ball room of the Gray inn to dance tn the evenings. The detour to HiUcrest was little more than a country lane that ran between cultivated fields and lonely- tracks of scrub pine. There were few farm houses along tlie 40-mile stretch and not a single filling tta.- tion. Thick yellow clouds of dust were stirred up by the car. so that Sally and Bob were obliged to close the car windows. They pawed only one person on the road, a fcingle motorcyclist who looked grotesque as the car lights showed him In helmet and goggles, HiUcrest was gay with colored lights and music. A number of lit tle tables had been placed on the terrace. European style, and Bob and Sally paused at one of them for a cool drink before they went in to dance. It was pretty swell of you to come out with me, Sally," said Bob gratefully. "I dont mind telling you I was feeling pretty low." Sally felt suddenly guilty to think that she had brought Bob to Hill- crest in the hope of seeing Giles Benton, but she could comfort her self with te knowledge that Bob seemed to like it. Dont be so nice to Mary." Sally advised. "She takes you too much for granted because you never cross her or talk back to her. Mary thrives on indlflerence." Not from me." sighed Bob. "She doesn't care whether I'm Indiffer ent or not. In fact. I think shed rather like It tf 1 stayed away and left her alone entirely." Don't you believe that." said Sally comfortingly. "She'd miss you. She likes goto places with you better than she does going with anyone eU." Sally felt justified In glng Bob this small comfort. She knew that it was true, although Mary would never admit It. Sally forgot Bob as she searched the small tables in her neighborhood for a sight of Otles Benton. Looks like she wants to be wttn me." Bob grumbled. "She made that engagement for dinner ronnht with Philip Page after I got to town." "Philip Page?" Sally a mind came bark to what Bob was saying. 'Sure. That's who she's with. She's fallen for htm." "Let's go and dance," said Sally. There was no reason why Philip should not have dinner with Mary, but Sally was not pleased to hear about it. flurely Philip would not j RADIO PROGRAM 1 WEDNF.SDAT, F.M.
