"What art you on th prowl for?" Antoine asked. "Looking tor Pam," Jerry re plied. Antoine stopped beside Jerry. He was glad he had not been asked if he had seen Pam. As it was, he could keep Pam's confi dence by merely saying nothing. Though something about that made him uncomfortable. It seemed not quit right "I don't know what your idea is about that girl. Jerry," he be gan thoughtfuly, oppressed by the feeling he should do some thins. And Jerry, tried to th limit of Ms endurance ty r reaa s wiiuuj ness. turned on him Quickly. "Must I tell you I lov her?" he demanded sharolv. Antoine glanced at nun, trying - I . i .Tir n ...... JnH'. to understand. "Well, you don t have to love a highball to enjoy It, you Know,- n Degan Hesi tantly. "It isn't that sort of thing." Antoine wondered if that was the time to tell Jerry Pam had cone home crying. Or was it Kind er to keep Pam's confidence? He was so in the dark. Besides, he was vaguely aware of something within himself that had been hurt Pam was lovely. She was like a song. A lov song. With her nearby he might compose some of the things he'd wanted to. The sweet beautiful tranquillity of her but Romero was looking at him. He'd better go up and take th baton. He was glad Jerry meant right anyhow. Without speaking again, Antoine moved away. Jerry had forgotten him and was searching th place. Freda caught sight of him. "You look wild-eyed." she said, and stopped him as he would have passed her. "Dane with me, darling. I'm bored limp. Besides, I've quite forgotten and forgiven your foolishness of a moment ago. I'm a smart girl, Jerry. I know there's no futility like be ing bitter. And so, with me, wa ter under the bridge is just well, water under th bridge!" Jerry's answer was to ask If Freda nad seen Pam "No, darling, I havent seen your island flower! Mayb she's out buggy-dashing with soma local swain!" "Don't be Ilk that!" Jerry ex claimed sharply. "This isn't the moment for wise-cracks. Besides, that mood isn't becoming to you. "Is my darling worried about the little Conch?" "If I didn't know It was Cuba Mbre talking, I'd slap you for that Freda!" Jerry's voice was shak ing with anger. "And don't say Conch in that tone of voice. Some of the nicest people on this island, aristocrats in more ways than one, are Conch." Jerry paused a mo ment to look Intently at Freda. "If you were smart you'd take a leaf from their book. firl. With their natural charm and decency and your beauty, you might go places. "You can't talk to ma like that, T I ... - .,ltk 1. Freda's voice too was sharp. "You asked for it. Jerry started to move on but Freda caught th lapels of his jacket "You're not leaving m Ilk this." she said. "Let gol You're making scene " "Not nearly as much scan as you're making with that little Conch. You've carried your joke far enough now. I won't have you make me a laughing stock." "I'm not You're doing it your self. You've been drinking too much." "When Is too much?" "You should know." He started on, but Freda clung to his arm. At his car she slipped In as he opened the door, before he could stop her. Desperate Girl VET out of that carl" Jerry commanded. Freda's only re ply was an insolent giggle. Jerry reached In and took nold of her. but Freda turned limp. Up to her old tricks, thought Jerry. He knew if he dragged her out of th car, she would merely fall In a heap at his feet her evening gown billowing about her like a little mound of fluff. Jerry had seen her do that when she was a child and her nurse tried to get her to do some thing or started to correct her. That bad been a weapon she had used efTectively all her life. It had always alarmed her gay. pretty mother to th point of giv ing in to anything. AU right " His teeth gritted on the words. "You got in, now you stay in. If you dare get out when 1 get where I'm going. I'll knock you cold!" Freda giggled again and leaned comfortably against him. "Rave on, darling." she said easily.

He had just lifted his hand to push her from him when Freda ducked into it getting a slight blow on th cheek. Jerry stared in startled amazement. He had never even accidentally been in th position of striking a woman. Ha flushed with indignant shame. Freda had no business putting him In such a position. He was aware then of Freda's high scream pierc ing the air. V.H tlniKlr mI TKm wa fury in her voice. "You asked for It," Jerry said. T didn't intend to hit you, but it wouldn't be honest for me to say that I'm sorry." "Beast!" There were sounds as if a wild, cat had been turned loose in the Quelierton gardens. Strange Meeting PAM had not been sleeping. She had been lying staring into the darkness, wondering how a man who looked and seemed as nice as Jerry Winthrope could be so cruely dishonest She blamed her self for breaking her rule about the sons of rich winter people. She should have had nothing to do with Jerry. She wondered vaguely how she wss to face the future. Jerry had grown so into her life in the short time she had known him. There would be such an aching vacuum where he had been. Pam knew with certainty she loved Jerry. The object of a bet she thought on a wave of feeling that was al most bitter. That was what she had meant to Jerry. He had Freda, who meant something nne ana serious to him; Freda who wore his ring and was probably laugh ing at her. They had probably all been laughing at her as she sat there at Antoine's right all through the supper, thinking she was being honored when really they were making her ridiculous She had meant nothing more than a bit of passing amusement to Jerry. And to her he had sud denly meant the difference be tween living and just existing. Now ha must mean nothing. Pam waa trying to look down the years and fathom their loneliness when she beard the car. She listened, wondering If some new arrival In Key West taking her large, white house for a hotel, as so often happened, was about to ring and ask for rooms. Then she heard unmistakable sounds of scuffling. Something wss nappening oui there in her shadowy garden. She listened Intently. SteDS came softly along the hall. Juan, walking quietly trying not to waken Melita, "What is it Juan?" Pam asuea softly through her partially openea aoor. "1 cam to see 11 you wer frightened, bambi," he said In his low, gentle voice. The fond, di minutive Juan and Melita had al ways used was soothing to the girl. "It Is the young man from the North," Juan continued. "1 think you have no need to tear. Should I ask him to go, please?" "No. Juan, go back to rest. You have served well. I am grateful." Unconsciously, when she spoke to him, Psm resorted to Juan's own quaintly formal speech. So much of her time hsd been spent with him and the gentle, bright-eyed Melita. Pam pulled a housecoat over her pajamas and peered down from the window of her room to the silver enchantment of what a moment before had been her peacefully sleeping flower beds and lawn. Two figures struggled wildly there. Pam recognized their voices. She hurried down the winding stairway and out to where the two still struggled, ob livious of her. "Jerry!" she called softly, but there waa authority in her voire. "Jerry, please! My roses! Oh, my flowers! My flowers!" It was a wail as she saw Freda and Jerry dance wildly in her annual bed. "Pam! I'm sorry!" Jerry was suddenly aware of her He grabbed Freda and dragged her out of th garden to th wide walk. "Why, Jerrv!" Pam said In amarement She peered through I the dim light "And Freda!
