PAOTC STX OX CRAZ SYNOPSIS: A eudien imiilin hurriea Uope Roae on to the boot Wirruing her Irlend. Jitttv, on her ofleimocm. Dickey Dale, whom Hope wed only to halo the mar riage Bet aatde by her father, alio it on boardand Hope hoe decid ed to find out whether he ettlt eare tor her. Chapte 31 BADGE OF CONQUEST SIN her bod Hope found tha usual dally telegram from her moth er, and an envelope of ship's sta tionery. This she tore open tremu lously, finding It only an Invitation from the captain to lunch with hi in the next day. She went the next noon, mostly because ber winnings had caused such excltemont among those she knew, and partly because Judy and Tom were also Invited, and It was necessary to show Judy that there was no 111 feeling. Others had evidently been Invited and bad foregathered before ber arrival. Evan as the captain him self came forward to greet Hope and Judy and Tom, Hope saw. Saw jHlckey standing, glass In hand, watching her. Saw Dickey rise. The captain turned to Introduce them, but Hlckey came forward, hand outstretched. "I know Miss Ross," be said ge Iltr. "I've been tempted to speak "I hate you!" Hope's voloe efore on this trip, but our meeting aas so long ago I was afraid " "Why, who could forget you, Mr. Dale?" Hope smiled up at him, her heart beating a trip-hammer. "Or Dickey? How do you do, Dickey? Is It too late to congratulate you on your show? Please meet Mr. and Mrs. Post. My old friend, Judy Hunt Perhaps you remember. And Tom Post, who Is almoit nice enough tor Judyl" Automatically she felt herself go through the motions. But though tbs captain was a masterful host, and Lillian Toff's punchlng-bag con versation kept the room bussing, Hope held on to tha arms of her chair, and simply could not roach out to accept a proffered cocktail. She beard tuo captain's words and beard herself answer: "I'm afraid I'm seasick. I must ask you to excuse me. I'm sorry." Unsteadily she started to rise. And blessod Judy for the gesture that causod Tom to sink gracefully back In bis chair Instead of leaping to ber assistance. Anothor form rose swiftly. An other hand was under her arm. An othor voice was telling bei to watcb tha narrow, twisting stairway. . . . Quite gontly bo guided her down the corridor and threw open ber Btatoroom.- She caught at his arm for support ro that he bad to enter with ber. A white stroak loaped from the berth. And Bossy, huge and proud and sott-eyed, scratched at the rug and bowed before them, Hope had not noticed. Her one thought at the moment was a breatb of thanksgiving that Millie Sea brook was not In the cabin. But she roused herself as she glanced at Dickey, who was .gailng, with an ugly expression on his moutii, at the cat. "That that's Sassy!" Hope laughed weakly. "You still lug him around, huh?" demanded Dickey with a sharp and vicious resentment. "Oh, I've beard about HI You wanted me to bear about It, didn't you? Flaunting It up at Hnrmouth, so that It was the Joke of tha ccllegel You've taken htm everywhere and showod him off, trying to make me a laughing stock " "But. Dickey " EUOENB, Ore., April 8. (AP) The Bank of Commerce, established more than 30 years ago, Monday was taken over by the state banking de partment for liquidation. The bank has 3000 commercial account and about tfiOO savings ac counts. Deposits declined from a peak of Si. 300.000 In man to tJ. 000 at the present time, necessitat ing action by the state to save the remaining resources. A. A. Schramm, state superinten dent of banks, said that with prompt and carelul handling of the bank's aaaeta, losses. If any, will be kept to a minimum. Dick&y, however, waaii't listening. He was bowing to the cat with i deep flourish. "A triumphant badge of con quest!" be said flippantly. "But I've long ago got over the rub!" He turned, blttor-eyed and aloof to Hope. "I'll call your stewardess for you." And without a second's hesitation he left! Fur a second Hope stood quiver Ing. Then, her hands outllung and flats tightly clenched, she screamed. Screamed at the top of her voloe. "I hate you!" her voice rang out, and she gloried In the full power of her throat. "I hate you! I bate you!" Millie found her roommate around four that afternoon, face downward on her bed. Judy came, and th'j school teacher obligingly erased herself from the scene. Judy sat beside Hope and tried every known process. And when Judy was quite tired out and quite nervous about leaving Tom so long, Hope turned and said: "If you're all finished, Judy, please don't lot me keep you." "Oh, all right! " At the door Judy hosltated and sighed. "Will we see you at dinner?" "Sure. Of course, you'll see mi at dinner. If you like, you and Toe can call by for me at sovon." rang out. "I hate youl" "You worry me, Hope. I've nevei seen you quite like this." "You needn't worry," Hope rosrl wearily, and pressed her imall hands against bar burning foreheadj "You soo, It's all ovor now." She know, even as she spoke that aha was lying. - "Now you're talking sense, kid. Well you'll come out of It. See you at seven sharp." Sassy leaped up on the berth and put his front paws up tr Hope's blue, and gold negligee. With a sharp gesture of revulsion, Hope's thin white hand brushed the oat swiftly away. How could Dickey have said that she flaunted the cat to Irritate him? With quiet deliberation, she sat down and wrote two radio mes sages. DEAR RUSTY "IF I STII.L MEAN ANYTHINU TO YOU WILIi YOU JOIN MB IN PARIS AND WE'LL 110 MARRIKD STOP I'LL TRY TO MAKE UP TO YOI! FOR ALL TUB. UNHAPP1 NESS I HAVE CAUSED YOU.
