FOR THE LOVE OF PAM
aBy VJVIEN GREY:
Chapter Seven
Tragedy For Para
FREDA started. 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

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,

Pam stopped dancing.
"Excuse me!" she mid hurried
