PAGE TEN MEDFORP MATT, TRTBUKE, MEPEORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1941. FOR THE LOVE OF PAM sBy VIVIEN GREY: Chapter Ten Pom to the Rescue DAM itepped back o hit hands couldn't quit touch hen. "You couldn't have anything to ay to me that I'd want to listen to. Jerry. 1 think I'd better no in, now that you've untangled your selves from my garden . . " "Come on, Jerry." Freda broke In. "Can't you lee that the girl's giving you the air, darling? Don't you recognize extermination tech nique when you tee it?" "Shut up!" growled Jerry, then he turned to Pam and atarted to move toward the house. "Pam, I've got to talk to you. You've Eot to listen, whether you want or not." Freda stretched an arm out for Jerry, missed him, and then Bopped in a soft, apparently bone leu heap on the grass. Jerry paid no attention, trying to urge Pam on toward the house. "But, Jerry, you can't leave her there. Its damp, bne'u lane cold" "Good. She needs something like that" "Jerry, you've got to pick her up. Put her in your car and take her home." "I won't I've got things to say to vou." "And do you think. If you're the kind of man who'll let a girl catch her death of cold through your carelessness, I want to hear anyimng you migm sayr "Freda's putting on an act! Jerry exclaimed angrily. "She's got anything that happens coming to her. "Putting on an act? I don't understand?" "Of course you wouldn't, Pam." His voice was suddenly tender. "How could you? You're so dif ferent" Pam felt as If tears were dropping in her heart. The sweet, familiar tenderness of his voicel But the moon, sailing high In the sky, chose that moment to pick out Freda's diamond and light it magically. "An act?" Pam heard herself repeating coldly. "That sounds like a poor excuse for your rude ness, Jerry." "Yes, an 8Ctl" It was Jerry who was indignant then. "That girl could show Helen Hayes things and still have lots of lessons left over. Come on in the house. You're listening to me for a while." He put his arm around her and was moving toward the house. It was only with difficulty that he kept from straining her to his heart. Jerry Winthrope had met many girls. But Pam stood out above them with the clear and faithful beauty of a Cathedral spire in a little Mexican town. The others could not even be compared with her. In the glorified Instant that he stood there with his arm around her. his vision swept down the list of girls who had been the gay Flaymates of his lighter hours, le had never been serious with anv of them, except in thnt rather half-hearted wav. with Freda. Beautiful, willful Freda. Gay, Sally. Harriet. And on Anally to May. Jerry's thoughts paused for an instant on May. She was writ ing him still. He answered her only after hearing from her re peatedly. He had never made any promises to May. who danced in a Broadway floor show. But May had sticking qualities, it was ap parent Jerry lingered on that instant as he stood there in the warm, scented moonlight, his arm around Pamela. Freda's Act "T ETS go In, Pam. I must talk to you," he said finally. There were things he wanted to settle. But Freda's voice cut through the soft Florida night: "Go into that house and Til cream. I'll sound your car siren and scream for you so all Key West will know you're In there with her, Jerrv Winthrope! And this isn't a nice hour for a girl to have callers!" "Oh, no you won't!" Jerry turned fiercely toward the heap on the grass. "1 will." Freda giggled. Jerry stood irresolute, looking first at one girl, then the other. "Bring her in." Pam said softly. "I won't!" Jerry stared down at Freda and then stirred the fabric of her dress with the toe of his si.oe. "I will then." As quietly as she had spoken. Pam moved toward the girl and bent to help her up There was a stifled sound from Jerry. "Oh. all right!" he cried In exasperation. "If you will be a good Samaritan! But she doesn't deserve it!" Jerry bent and picked the girl up. He carried her into the house and then dumped her uncere moniously into a chair. "And I suppose you think I can talk to you with thi leering. Jeer, ing female around?" he demand ed of Pam. "No one asked you to tall: to me. As a mutter of fart. I don't want to talk to you I want vou to be on your way jmt as fast as you can I v seen all I want to of you!" Jerry stared In surprise, his an. ger leaving him. "Pam, I don't understand." he said. "It doesn't make much differ ence whether you do or not." "Oh, yes it does!" He put his Russia to Receive Loan for Munitions Washington, Sept. 18 (i Federal Loan Administrator Arrow Shorts Don't Bind 65c Store For Men hands on her shoulden and forced her to face him. "It makes all the difference in the world. Pam. what's happened? What's changed you?" "You would ask that!" she said bitterly. "Well, what should I ask?" "Nothing. You should know." "All I know is that you walked out on me. Walked out on me and made a laughing stock of me." "Good! You asked for it!" "Are you crazy?" "No, but you arel You must be!" Jerry stared at Pam for pur zled moment. Then he turned, mumbling something about wo men and their lack of understand, ing, and rushed out of the door. Pam thought that was what she wanted, but when the door closed behind his angiy figure she felt as if the light had gone out of her life. She stood, stricken, listening to the sound of his steps on the walk. The beat of her heart was like an aching echo of them. "Jerryl Oh, Jerry!" His nam came involuntarily to her lips. Freda slowly opened her eyes and sat watching Pam in silence for a moment "I'm sorry " she said Anally. "I hadn't realized." "Sorry?" Pam came back to the present with difficulty. "You hadn't realized what?" 'That it could be like that I mean there was something in your voice. I could hear it Some- thing I've never felt for Jerry and probably never will. So," with gesture that had in It something gay and gallant, "I give him to you, Pam. I'm stepping out of the picture." Pam looked at the other girl doubtfully. She brushed impa. tiently at her eyes with the back of her hand. Freda mustn't see her crying. She was not sure she un derstood what Freda had just been saying. It migiit merely be more of her brittle young smartness. It might be Freda's idea of fun to trap her into further signs of af fection for Jerry and then scoff at her. "You you must be frozen.' Pam said not quite steadily. "I'll I'll make some tea," Gift From Freda SHE hurried from the room. In the kitchen she found Melita in a crisp, fresh housedress. Its col orful pattern was blurred by the mist in Pam's dark eyes. "Oh, Melita, It's so early. You shouldn't be up!" "Hush, bambi," gently from Me. lita. - "If it is early for Melita: twice early is it for her bambi.'' She took the tea things from Pam's hands. "Tea, bambi? And strong?" "Please. The China, Melita With lime. And get the pretty cups Grandsir brought from In dia." "Yes. And now dry your eyes and go back to your strange com pany. I'll bring the tea." Pam went back to Freda, a smile wavering over her stricken young face. "1 nope you've forgiven me this tonight,," Freda had the grace to beg in an humble voice. Before Pam could reply, Melita glided in with tea things on a beautiful old silver tray. Freda glanced at Melita n surprise. "Oh, I'm sorry you had to get your help up," she said to Pom. "But I didn't," Pam said as she served the tea. "Melita just got up and cam down. She's like that." "Yes" Freda took the cup from Pam "she would. Your help would be like that. That's what 1 mean about you, Pam. You and Jerry. That's w hat I Was trying to tell you." "I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about, though," Pam said. "1 mean, Pam, the diflerene between you and me. You're well, people would love you be cause you love them. It's that way with Jerry. You love him. You love him with such selflessness So you can give him what I never can. And 1 nave my decent, gen erous moments. Pam. really Fdo And 1 like Jerry too well to cheat him out of the nappiness you can give him. See what I mean?" Pam wondered if she did, if she was really hearing Freda's words and understanding them rightly. "I." she said hesitantly, "I'm not sure." Freda caught something of the doubt and distrust in Pam's eyes. "I'm being honest with you, Pam. You can believe me. Jerry asked me for his ring I'm going to give it to him. He's a good egg I don't know that he quite de serves you, but he certainly de serves better than a thrill-hound like me." "1 don't believe we can sit here i and dispose of Jerry's future like I this between us," Pam said quiet ly. "After all. he'll take the wo man he wants, if she'll hav him." "And that woman will be you ' Take him. Pam Don't let any hurt 'pride or anything keep vou from I it Jerry's worth it. believe me I I've known him all my life, vou see Jerry nerds someone like I you. Don t let Lenore get you down " "But 1 don't know why you're 'telling me all this," Pam said. I "Because I don't want you to miss the chance of a lifetime. 1 I mean the chance to get Jerry j Winthrope."
