It wai the first time (he had been forced to think of Pam'i and Jerry's evi dent attraction for each other as something permanent: something growing irom roots mat would give it a luting quality. She looked at Pam. There was some thing about the girl. . . . She looked down at her left hand. Jerry s diamond was gleam. ing there. It gave her a sense of security. Nothing could actually cappen as long as sne naa mat. "Dance. Freda?" It was Jerry sunaing oesiae ner, smiling. -I'd love to." "Who are you making eyes at tonight?" Jerry asked as they moved smoothly away. Freda laughed. "Anyhow, you'll admit I'm efficient! Why waste time putting into words things you can do witn your eyes? Be sides, wnat you don t say, you never have to be sorry for. "If that's the way you feel about it. I've noticed that native lad from the beach hanging around here. Why don't you pick on men that might have a chance? You're not being fair. It Isn't nice of you." "Jerry, you sound exactly like a maiden auntl" she answered. sun laugning at mm. Jerry was grateful to a cut-In who claimed her then. Looking around, he glimpsed Pam ana made his way to ner. He led her to a table at the side of the dance Door. "Pam, you're lovely," he said, as he sat down opposite her and looked at her. "What would your answer ne u i torn you 1 loved you?" He waited for a moment for her reply, then thought he saw it In ner eyes, though she maae no auaiDie rejoinder. 1m telling you, Pam. I love you. I'll love you forever and ever. Til love you all my life, little island flower." Across the room he saw Freda, who was wearing his diamond. He knew he should not have spoken so to Pam, at least not until that diamond was reclaimed. Then Edmund Antoine asked Pam to dance. Jerry watched them move away, scarcely conscious of the girl who had dropped into a chair at his table, a girl from Virginia. He remembered her. He'd met her at several smart places. She spoke in broken little phrases and Jerry recalled having kissed her one evening during a foolishly roman tic interval In the shadows of a Spanish lime tree. She had seemed lovely thf.i, but now there was something annoying about her. She followed Jerry's eyes with a sort of helpless defeat in her own. She said finally in her fragile little voice: "I understand. I've seen it my self just that way. A man comes up in your life like the moon in the sky, and he's, lust there and what are you going to do about it? She's like that with you." But Jerry was staring out at the dancers. "Let's dance," the girl said. She was that kind. A man never really minaea aancing witn ner, but ne never asaea ner. ; Good Time AND on the dance floor Antoine had kept Pam only a little while. A cut-in had taken her, and then another. It was new to Pam and grand fun. She looked up happily when Algar Bruce claimed her. "Hello, pretty!" ha said. "Hello, yourself!" "So you know the answers. Come on out under the Royal Poinciana tree. They'll sound so much sweeter out there." "Oh, no! Wait! I want to hear this!" So Pam and Algar found chain at an unoccupied table. er she could tell him by his dark, Cuban cast clapping as wildly as she had, but there was something warm and eager in his eyes as he looked at Lenore. The young man was sitting on the window sill, his feet outside. He had evidently come from out side to listen. Jerry, in another part of the room, had seen the young man, too, and recognised him, with dis tinct displeasure, as the young man he had seen that afternoon he'd been on the beach with Freda. Then Jerry's eyes caught Pam and he went to her. "Oh, Jerry, she sings beautl fullyl Lenore's wonderful!" "Yes, and I saw you leading the applause, angeL That was sweet of you, considering." He dropped down beside her. . "And she's so beautiful to look at, too," Pam said. "Your violets were the touch that made that, darling. It took some persuasion to get Mother to let her have them for tonight You're a jweet little thing, Pam doing all that work for Mother. She adores you for it" "You're such a lovelv fatnllv. Jerry." The words were spoken wistfully, for in that moment Pam seemed to miss more than ever having no family of her own. There were a thousand things that came to Jerry's mind then, a thousand eager ways to ask her to be one of that family. But An toine had crashed into a swinging melody: dangers were movinfl about on the floor. A young man ciaimea ram. And Jerry, remem- berinff th rinff nn PrHa'a Una,, stayed his words and let her go. Almost immediately Algar Bruce was beside her again, cut ting in. "I want that dance I mi rhent- ed out of, beautiful," he said easily. "And," as they whirled away together, "has anyone told you you're the most beautiful girl here?" "No. I think evervnna, hra ( honest," Pam laughed. "Thev can't be Thev'ra a hnneh of meanies, or they'd have told you long ago. Everybody here is raving about some little fnneh gal that's suposed to be tops They say she mows 'em down like no body's business! I haven't seen her yet and I don't want to. I've seen youl" The Bet The orchestra had swung into a melody that cascaded and rippled through the room. Lenore Win thrope walked Into a little circle ef light that had been cleared on the dance floor She was breathtaklngly lovely. All in white. Pam reflected that few girls were naturally equipped to wear white so dramatically. Her dark hair was drawn back from her oval face and fell in soft curls on her shoulders. Her hands clasped a large bunch of violets. Pam recognized them. The violets she had given Lenore's mother. Antoine, directing his boys, brought the music to a swelling crescendo. The winds and brasses swept the melody clear and high. The strings echoed it softly, mutedly. A dramatic pause. Then Antoine's fingers in that striking chromatic so characteristic of him. And Lenore started to sing. Her voice was a low, compelling harmony, accompanied only by the mellow wood winds, sobbing softly about a man she'd found and lost again. As Lenore stopped singing Pam led the applause. She clapped madly, her hands high in the air. " But there were tears in her eyes! Real tears. That girl's got what it takes to put a song over," Pam heard a girl near her av. Real tears in Lenore's eyes? Then 'pONCH girl?" Pam caught only one word. She wat Tnnrh She'd never been anything but proud of it It meant that she had been born on the island. She was native to its beauty. But there had been something in the way mpr sam 11 mat caugnt ner at tention. "Yes. Conch, beautiful. But let's not talk about her. Let's talk about you. You're the real thing. You're as real and wholesome as a bottle of certified milk. And so much more intriguing!" "But this Conch girl" Pam started to say. "Oh, haven't you heard? Some local beauty that Jerry Winthrope bet he could date, and the rest of his crowd bet he couldn't Well, he did. This suDDer tonieht Is the pay-off. Antoine was the one who bet against Jerry. So he gave the supper, and Jerry has the girl here somewhere. I haven't seen her yet But the girl can't mean anything to Jerry. He's engaged to Freda Barington." Pam missed a step. "Engaged? Engaged to Trcda Barington?" "Sure! Haven't vou seen that diamond she's wearing? Big as a house. That's the engagement ring Jerry gave her." "Jerry WinthroDe eneaeed?" The words came slowly from Pam. "Sure. Everybody knows that "And he bet" it irniwd to Pam it was some other girl's voice she heard asking the ques tion "he bet about about that Conch girl?" She had almost said snout me. "Sure. You're not tellin me you didn't know that, beautiful?" Algar was too engrossed in his own thoughts to notice that some of the brightness had faded from nis partner s eyes. "It s some girl who s never noticed any of the winter boys before. She's sup posed to be tops around here in looks, and all that And Jerry, with his usual good luck" "I'm tired," Pam interrupted "Let's stop." Suddenly she didn't want to hear any more. She want, ed Algar to atop talking about Jerry and the bet But Algar. with a sort of aflable determina tion, continued: "Yeah! Jerry always does play In luck and it didn't fail this time He dated the girl for lunch 01 something and the supper was or Antoine. so here we are, beauti ful you and I dancing!" Pam stopped dancing. "Excuse me!" she mid hurried ly. Algar's words had been like blow that shook the very founda tions of her life. Pam went out Into the room where the orchestra was already beginning a new number.
