Vp to that thnu, at tho thought
of IiiivIuk thrown uway hla lovo, I
hml lot my sontlmont got tho upper
huid. Hut whon I roollxod Hint ho
lind hooii tho tcnr I hadn't monnt to
shed, tho knowledge Jerked mo up
anil my prlilo, Inherited from a ton
linn of hot-hoiulod ancestors, return
ed. 1 imu)o uiysolf laugh.
"See, I'm still running aftor you,"
1 explained, "hut It's becnuno I'm
nfrnln you wore HorlouHly considering
not InkltiK homo. Pvo hoiird of
girls walking homo hoforo but not

Ho turned and regarded mo with
puzzled brow. It wib a good thing
Tor mo that the gathering twllli;ht
bid tho deep hurt In my uyoi
"Como on, bo a Hport and tnku
me homo. I know It's risking your
reputation hut tnnybo you'll bo spar
ed oh tbo kindly dark will covor us
whon wo got to town."
IIu shook hlH hoad Hlowly, almost
smilingly as If tho whole tiling wero
beyond his power of Interpretation.
i Tho drive homo began.
After I saw that bo was deter
mined not to spook a word and tbo
unbroken silence bad lasted for a
few miles, I could stand It no longer.
My nerves wero on edgo.
"If you don't carry on a merry
conversation with me, I'll bo forced
to slug," I said.
"Go ahead." ntlll storing fixedly at
the road.
My voice had boon trained. 1'vo
always loved to sing. I can't romom
iber a single day having passed whon
I bad not. at some tlmo during It's
twenty four hours, burst Into song.
My volco, whllu not big, has a nuol
'ty that most people protend to like.
' My profosHor called a nun's volco.
"That's what you need," be had
told mo when 1 bail missed lessons or
was Indlrferent about my scales.
"You need experience. A real lover,
marriage, babies. One must llvo be
fore they can express anything of
beauty with a voice."
When I thought of his words now,
I I iiighcd.
"I thought you were going to
sing," said a voice at my tldo "ploasu
do " ho urged.
"Whot'll It )--Knplln. Jo, or
Mimical Comedy?"
1 "Not Jo7.a," bo Implored, "I'm
sorry of my Inability to bo In tho
name Insouciant mood."
Ho hadn't figured on tho fact that
I was n sptoudld actress trained by
tho Insincerity uoeossarlly practiced
In socloty by any girl who goes about.
A little pause, thou I sang as I
novor bad before and because tho
noitgH 1 choso wero sad, thoy better
suited tho throbbing tlmbro or my
volco.
And thouIt was a daring thing
to do, but I sang Cyril Heott's "Lulla
by." When I was half way through, I
noticed thu sound of grilling tooth at
my Htdo.
I stopped.
"Wbol'H tbo matter, Is It all that
painful? Pvo known my singing to
drlvo men to drink but I didn't realize-
For (lod's sake, Bolllo, whon you
have your heol on a worm, aren't you
satisfied without turning and grind
ing your heol?"
"You know your volco Is lovely
but why torment mo with pictures
of things that might bavo boon?"
he sighed. "Sometimes I think you
aro absolutely without u heart."
Wo drovo under tho porta eochore.
Lights gleamed from every window
of tho house. Klllo hod returned and
thoro was a sound of music. Out
front wero sovoral cars.
A cocktail party was on.
"Oood bye." be said.
I swallowed hard, Ignoring tbo ox
tended bnuil.
"doing off a piece?" I returned
In tho Jargon of tho crowd. It wsa
tbo only way 1 could keep my con
trol. "Yes, I'vo boon to see your fu

morrow. I have mode nrrangomonts
to go to the Club."
I started toward tbo house. 1 could
not have uttered one otbor word.
"Halllo." he bad followed swiftly.
"Will you pIomio do something for
mo?"
I nodded, still dumb.
