The HOUSE on LILAC STREET
by FRED BAYARD
A1 WtwilwfwH
Chapter 9
The house on Lilac Street, though
atlU austere, was much less gloomy
with a brlsht sun warming lis gray
atone Iront. Derria paid off her
cab and ran up the ironc iieps,
" Cherrv lived here.
And Cherry, In red and black
atln lounging pajamas, ws wa"
Inz for her at the ton of the stairs.
"Morning, honey. I was hoping
you'd be early. It's been ages since
j you were over."
Derria followed her Into the
large room overlooking the street.
"Don't forget Im a working girl.
Bhe glanced around the room be
fore sitting down. "When are you
going to move out 01 mis joint,
nerryy it depresses me.
Cherry shrugged her shoulders.
"That's up to Dave; why don't
you ask him?"
Derria did not miss the rebuff
in Cherry's voice. To change the
subject, she opened her briefcase
and took out the completed sketches.
"See what you think of these,"
she asked.
"They're swell, darling. You can
co ahead with the dreses any time.'
Derria watched her covertly. She
was accustomed to the other's fickle
likes and dislikes, but something
about Cherry s manner puzzled her.
"Didn't you say you wanted to
snow me the new oar? rne idea
is grand, but I still think it's a
shame to waste It on this place."
Cherry couldn't help laughing
"You realize, of course, you're the
only one who can get away with
a remark like that. After all, If I'm
going to live here, I can at least
try to make it more modern."
"It may be a swell hobby, though
a bit too expensive for me. But
then, I'm not the most popular
singer in town."
"You are polite, the perfect guest."
Cherry's eyes sparkled. "Throwing
compliments around for free or
cud you really mean that?"
"Cherry, that's one thing I've
never fooled about. You've got a
swell voice, and what's more, the
dramatic technique to put It over.
It's not so much the way you sinp
as the staging you do for effect,
Cherry shrugged, although she
was pleased.
"Wait till you see the new num
ber Dave and I have been working
on the one I want one of the
new dresses for."
"Which reminds me," Derria In
terrupted her. "I came here for
proilt as well as pleasure, and,
lady, are you going to pay!"
"I always seem to come Into the
picture when there's a question of
paying lor sometning." David Hol
way entered the room.
"Nice of you to finally get around
to visiting us," he remarked, "al
though I can't say It's much of a
compliment when the only thing
that brings you over is to sell Cherry
a dress."
"Dave, come and see this simply
vorgeous thing Derria's designed
for my Moon and Stars number,"
Cherry interrupted.
"It can't be as hopeless as all
that," David's voice echoed.
"It must be old age," Derria
laughed,
"I think the poor girl needs a
drink." Cherry said, as she got up
and led the way.
Kolway stopped behind the bar.
"What'll you have? It's on the
house."
The sudden jangle of the front
door bell startled Derria. Cherry
noMced It and laughed.
"That thing makes me jump, too,
I very time I hear it, and I live here,
t doesn't matter what part of the
house you're in; It always sounds
as if it's right under your chair."
Derria, who had been sitting on
L stool with her back to the door,
rned to look around. As her eyes
oame to rest on the person who
entered the room, she seemed to
freeze. It was the man who had
been on the bus, who had taken
her car, and then disappeared.
Quickly she looked away, gripping
the stem of the glass she was hold
ing so tightly that she thought It
would break, lie had not noticed her
yet, which gave her time to regain
ner composure.
"Come on in, Hald," Holway
called out, "You must have a nose
Dor drinks. You always seem to be
around when they're being served.
"Hello, Dave, Cherry," he greet
d them as he moved Into the
room.
Then h aw herl
Derria fancied she saw a momen
tary hesitation, so quickly covered
up that no one but herself could
have perceived It.
"Hald. I don't believe you've met
Derria Martin." Cherry turned to
make the introduction. "Derria, Im
sorry, darling; I'm so stupid about
these tnings. mis is Maid scon.'
Not by the slightest flicker of
his facial muscles did he betray
their prior meeting. With a casual-
ness to match his own, Derria smil
ed coolly.
"How do you do Mr. Scott?" And
then, wltn the slightest little In
flection in her voice, meant for his
ears alone, she added, "For a mo
ment, I almost thought you were
someone I'd met somewhere. Butt
now I realize that Im mistaken.'
He shook his head and smiled.
"I'm afraid that we haven't. I
should certainly have remembered."
Holway brought the cocktail
shaker, and refilled their glasses
alter pouring a drink for Hald.
"Hald and I are working on a I
little scheme that we hope Is go-i
lng to net us big money. It's still
pretty much ol a secret, out it's
If It goes over It is going to mean I
big things in radio and in other!
lines too. we re going to Install It
at the club. After that we'll know I
connected with sound-proofing, and
better what Its prospects are."
"Are you an engineer, by any!
cnance, Mr. scoitv" Derria asked.
"Yes, although most of my work
lately has been out on the West!
Coast."
"Nice place, the West Coast," she
pursued relentlessly. "I have rela
tives in San Francisco. One of them.
Uncle Mathews, Is on the police
force. He's done a lot of work In,
connection with breaking up count
erfeiting gangs. He used to be an
engraver, so in a way you might
'say he knows the trade. Never met
him. I suppose?"
No, can t say that I nave." He
looked at her coolly. "Of course,)
San Francisco Is a large place."
uerria smiled to herseu. She I
turned to Holway. "Dave, would I
you phone for a cab for me, please?!
I nate to Dreak up tnis little gath
ering, but duty calls."
