FOR THE LOVE OF PAM

Pursuit
JERRY hid missed Fun and wis
circling the room alone looking
tor her when Antoine cam in.
"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

"Must I tell you I lov her?" he
demanded sharolv.
Antoine glanced at nun, trying

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,

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

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.

the words. "You got in, now you

Freda giggled again and leaned
comfortably against him.
"Rave on, darling." she said
easily. "I love itl Anything to

"You asked for It," Jerry said.

wouldn't be honest for me to say

"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!
