FOR THE LOVE OF PAM

Chapter Ten
Pom to the Rescue
DAM itepped back o hit hands

"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

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."
