Meet Mr. Lochinvar

that hrf will be unable to attend
the Yacht Club dance with Laura.
Cecily it distressed at the trouble
she hat cauted her friend. They
go to the dance.
Chapter 39
Emerald Necklace
THE door opened and two more
women came in.
"Hello, Cecily, you've quite a
large party from Darelea, haven't
you? Nora lioodale greeted her.
Mrs. Goodale'a place was the most
: pretentious in Vickersport. She
kept a staff of nine servants. It was
rumored that her husband had
made his money during the pro
hibition era in some manner witn
which the government wasn't ac
ouainted. The colonv went to Mrs.
Goodale's large parties and invit
ed her to theirs sometimes, she
wasn't yet accepted. Perhaps in
ten or fifteen years
When she had none out and Ccc
lly was still struggling with her
new hair-do, trying to mane it roil
up and not out, Laura said, "I
really loathe myself for gossiping
but Nora Goodale would get some
where quicker if she wouldn't al
ways De so namDoyant. Did you
notice her necklace?"
Cecily said she hadn't.
"Just a little platinum chain and
n emerald drop that must be
worth a fortune. Not exactly what
Mrs. Brewster would consider de
ripueur for a simple Yacht Club
dance."
A blast of music greeted them
as they opened the dressing-room
door. Philip rose from a chair near
the dressing-room. "I've never
danced with you, Cecily," he said.
"Are you terribly good?"
"Practically Pavlova," she said
modestly. "But you'll have to
dance with the two of us. . . ." She
turned around to include Laura.
Laura had gone.
She fitted smoothly Into Philip's
arms and they glided off, falling
into perfect rhythm. "You are , , ."
he said.
"I am what?",She was thinking:
Glide smoothly "on this beautiful
floor. I wonder how Locke dances.
I'll bet he can't negotiate a turn
without knocking into two other
couples. He's just the kind of a
man who couldn't dance.
"Perfect," Philip said.
Cecily had forgotten what she
had asked him. It didn't make any
difference whether a man could
dance well or not. You didn't
spend all your life dancing. At
least the Cecily Stuarts didn't.
General Harboard cut in. "Guess
these young fellows can't corner
the prettiest girl in the room," he
aid gallantly and swung Cecily
off her feet.
Cecily, making an effort to keep
her balance and feeling not a little
like a storm-tossed craft, devoted
her attention to keeping an even
keel.
The dance was a long one and
there were no young men who
dared to cut in on the General.
After they'd cavorted, hopped,
skipped and careened around the
room a seemingly endless number
m nines uie music came 10 an ena
and Cecily disentangled her tulips
irom tne uenerai s oid-lashloned
watch-chain.
"That was great," he panted.
Til claim another dance."
"It was fun," Cecily said aloud.
Dnder her breath she said, "Not if
I know it, sir!"
Freed of the General, Cecily
found herself instantly claimed by
a procession of the younger men.
She danced for a solid hour with
out sitting down.
She finally gave up when she
was dancing with one of the Penny
boys.
"One more twirl, Jim, and I'll
have housemaid's knee. Let's sit
this one out and you go get me a
nice long, cool drink, please."
Furtive Figure
'THEY walked their way off the
floor and went into the trophy
room where cooling drinks were
being served.
It was chilly there. Jim Penny
laid, "I'll got your wrap. Hold this
table I'll be back in a jifty."
"You'd better take my check.
All polo coats look alike."
Over the top of her frosted glass
Cecily's eyes sought Laura. She
hadn't seen her dancing and she
didn't see her anywhere about.
"She's probably holding hands
with the smitten medico," Jim
Penny offered. He folded Cecily's
coat over her chair. "I say. that re
minds me, I've asked Mrs. Fernan
da for this next dance. Where'll
I take you, Cecily?"
"Just leave me." Cecily Im
plored, and wriggled her toes In
her sandals. "My feet need a rest."
"Sure it's okay?"
"Of course, it Is. I want to give
my feet a rest and if I go back I'll
fall into the arms of the General
or the indefatigable Grandpa Mac
Donald." Cecily finished her drink, put
her glass on a table and walked
out through the French windows
intending to return at once. Back
of the clubhouse it was deserted.
And breathlessly beautiful. The
music was muted there. The night
was alive with beauty, the trees
stirring in a September breeze.
The dock running down from
the clubhouse was a shadowy skel
eton in the moonlight. A tempting
path to walk, Cecily stood mule-1
termlned for a few minute It was
chilly without her wrap but if she
went back for it, she'd lose her
mood.
She ran down the steps and
along the walk, the breeze whip-
Cing her fragile frock. She leaned
ack against the rail and looked
at the stars. Then her arms felt
cold and she turned to go back.
She took a step and halted, her
heart in her mouth.
There on the back steps of the
club, peering into the o o m
through the window where she
had sat, was a single, furtive fig
ure. A long, lanky figure with a
hat pulled over its face. She
watched it bend and straighten.
Locke
She tried to run. The wind,
catching her skirts, impeded her
progress. Angrily, she kicked them
out of her way, clutched them so
that she could run. She was angry,
excited
She dared not call out. There
was something everything in
the line of that figure that told her
he did not want to be discovered.
When she was almost at .he begin
ning of the dock, she did call:
"Yoo-noo:
She saw him straighten, turn to
ward her.
"It's Cecily!" she called back.
She was thinking: If he knows
who I am he won't ru- away.
She began to run blindly.
Throwing all caution, all pride, to
the winds. If he went away she
would never see him again. What
difference did it make If he
thought she was throwing herself
at him?
She saw him turn back to look
in the window, saw him raise his
hand. He was signaling to her. Her
foot found the nm step.
Then she stumbled. Her hleh
heel caught in the wooden step.
She let herself fall, instinctively
saving herself from wrenching her
ankle.
When she scrambled to her feet.
he was gone!
Lost
SHE hurried up the steps, looked
riffht and left frnntirnllv nn thi
veranda where he had been. Then
she ran to the corners, peering into
the darkness. There was no sight
of him to be seen.
She saw her coat where she hnH
left it over the back of the chair
near the window. She reached in
and got it, wrapped it around her
shoulders and took a path off the
side of the clubhouse.
She walked as far as the road
and then turned back. She was
thoroughly chilled. She wanted a
hot drink and to see Laura.
The music has stonned. She
heard the roll of the drum. That
meant the supper dance was fin
ished and she wanted to find Laura
before the couples paired off for
supper. It was a good two minutes
after the roll of the drum that she
got to the clubhouse door.
one found the lounge rooms de
serted. The crowd had not yet left
tne dance noor. (Jecily made her
way toward them.
When she got to the door, Mr.
Lochran, chairman of the dance
committee, was leaving the or
chestra stage and the dancers were
turning to each other, looking
down at the floor, separating care
fully, picking their steps.
"What's the matter?1' she asked
a man near her.
Mrs. Goodale has lost a valu
able necklace."
"Lost it?"
"Yes, she'- lust missed It. The
committee is going to search the
noor while we have supper.
Cecily wet her dry lips.
Laura. Where was Laura?
Cecily turned just in time to see
Laura slipping in the same door
through which she had come. Cec
ily made a quick slide on the pol
ished floor and caught Laura by
the arm,
"Where have you been?" she
whispered.
"I went out ... I went to the
car. I couldn't find my vanity and
inougnt i d lett it there. What's all
the fuss here? What's the matter?"
Cecilv dracned her aside, out nf
the way of the people leaving the
dance floor.
Mrs. Goodale has Inst her em
erald necklace."
Laura's mouth dropped open.
Lost it?" she breathed with the
same emphasis Cecily had put on
tne worn.
"That's what she snvs" Cecilv
said, keeping her eye on Laura's
telltale cheeks where the quick
color came and went swiftly.
"Well then, why not? What's
being done about it?"
"The committee is going to
search the room. Laura Atwill.
have you seen anyone here tonight
who wasn't invited?"
Don t ask me. Cec Iv." Laura
pleaded. "I ... I think I'll go along
and leave my wrap. I'm starved.
Philip was looking for you a little
while back. He says you're having
supper with him.''
"All right. Cecilv said, turn ne
away, "I can do with something
hot. I've been out having a look at
the moon and I'm froien."
How was the moon?" Philln
asked, guiding her to a table in a
far corner of the lounge where
Gloria and Tony and the boys had
alrendy corralled supper for them.
"Cold. Very cold. I hope you
don't mind if I keep by coat on
wnne 1 get fle-trozen;
1 want von to be comfortable H
he answered gallantly.
