PAGE TWELVE FOR THE LOVE OFPAM f aBy VIVIEN GREY Chapter It Over-night Gueet FREDA wu tmiling, but there wu a note in her voice that wu far from laughter. For the first time Pam felt she could be lieve; that Freda was aincere with her. Then Freda waa talking again: "You see I wasn't as fried as t seemed when you came out and saw us in your flower beds." Tried?" Pam was puzzled. The vernacular of drinking was for eign language to her. "Yes, sweet child, fried. Satu rated. Spiffed. Or just plain in toxicated, if you'd rather. Only I wasn't, you see. I hadn't been drinking at all, but it suited me to have the handsome Jerry think I was helpless." Freda was leaning forward a little and talking with sudden ear nestness. "I heard everything, Pam. Just how sweet you were to me. I wouldn't have been that way to you. I want you to know that It's only fair. I couldn't have been as big and One as you've been. I fight for what I want in all the small ways a woman knows. I've never wanted any thing as you want Jerry. If I had, I'd have been poisonous. I'd nev er have insisted that you be brought into my house, had things been reversed. I'm not made of that kind of stuff. And I'm sur prising myself in wanting you to Save Jerry." "But that was nothing." Pam aid quietly. "Anyone would have done what I did. "That's what you think. Really It was heroic, Pam. Not one girl in my crowd would have done that Not one. From now on I'm with you, Pam!" "Thanks," Pam said In a very small voice. She was still hurt and stunned by the events and revelations of the night "You will stay here?" she asked. "It's too lata for you tn go out alone." "Yes, I will," Freda aaid with the quick decision of her sort "Mother would scalp me if I came tn at this hour. So show me a bed. I'll phone the hotel in the morn ing to tell her I've stayed with friends." Pam took her upstairs to a room that was a revelation of simple beauty. There was an old teakwood bed that had once been part of a ship that had sailed the early seas. There was a little round table that had been made to take a ship's roll. There were old and rare bits of bric-a-brac. Freda fell asleep almost as soon as Pam's soft footfalls left her room. Not Pam, however. She stood at her window, looking out into the star-swept early morn ing sky. The sweet heavy scent of the blooms of the orchid tree lay on the soft air. There were the low, vague sounds of tropic . dawn palm treea rustling, the sharp crack of the fruit of the sandbox tree exploding. Pam turned finally to her own bed with its quaint patchwork quilt. She was more tired than the had realized. Sleep closed her eyes to the slowly waking world Just as a shower dropped sudden ly from the sky. One of those strangely tropical things rain that comes swiftly and without warning from a suddenly cloud ing sky, and then stops just as quickly, leaving in its wake an incomparable freshness of atmos phere that is weighted with the pleasant scents of earth and Bowers. There was en!v a note in Fre da's room when Pam went there. Pam read the large, flamboyant writing so characteristic of the girl: "Thanks for everything. I still mean what I said last night" Strange Musle rUVAL Street in Key West runs east and west straight across the island. Near the west end. not far from the red brick building that houses the bank and not far from the dock where ves sels from foreign ports tie up, is a hall thst is rented upon occa sion for band practice. Not far from the hall, across a vacant lot is an empty house sagging under the weight of a vine that blooms with an odorless brown flower that is dry and, to all appearances, lifeless even as its bud unfurls. It has a strange, luring sort of beauty that is changeless even after the dust of years has coated it "Ro?e of Hell," they call it in Key West Or by the less gusty souls, it is named "Wood Riwe." Two middle-aeed tourists had stopped to admire the strange nowrr. 1 he woman turned sudden ly, her plain fare lifted as if lis tening to some celestial strain. "Tom! That music! And some one singing! I've, never heard anything like it." They stood entranred. the roses that never bear any fragrance, forgotten. Edmund Antoine had arisen early and strolled to the docks. He had been watching the wster. mysterious opal under a fVy that was momentarily crowded with vagrant clouds; then turquoise and emerald, a the clouds scut tled away before the march of a warm, triumphant sun. Antoine turned fliallv and walked along Duval Street. Ju.t opposite the two tourists he topped, held to the spot hv a harmony of sound isumg from the halL Two voices were blend ing in a sort of melodic unitv that was more than smgmg together. tpeclallv trained business c-on-ruMant will soon be stationed in 12 regional offices of the depart ment of commerce. KUPPENHEIMER GOOD CLOTHES Store For Meet Antoine, with his sensitive ear trained to catch every nuance, every imperfection of measure and beat had the look of a man who has just made an important discovery. He turned suddenly and went into the hall, realizing only then that the girl's voice was familiar. In the hall Lenore stood close to Vincenzo Barolli, her singing lips uplifted slightly to his. His voice, as he looked down at her, poured from his throat like sun lit water flowing over a bed of velvety moss. Antoine was struck by something in their voices and their faces. He remembered see ing Barolli at the window while Lenore sang at his party at Pena'a, sang with that odd bright ness in her eyes that could have been tears. Many things came back to him as he watched and listened. Ba rolli on the beach in casual con versation with Lenore. Barolli and Lenore at that little stand at the other end of Duval Street, where they aold that peculiarly tropic delicacy, sour-sop ice cream; talking interestedly over two dishes of the sweet with its strange, hall sour, musky flavor. Lenore and Barolli sitting close on the steps of the cabana at Rest Beach where a white oleander bush grew out of the sand. Barolli glanced at Antoine then and took up the baton, giving the boys the down beat going through the number again with out the voices. It was Barolli'a orchestrs, then. Lenore walked toward Antoine. "You've caught me, Eddie," she said. "Doing a very creditable Job," was his answer in a preoccupied tone. Lenore sensed that he want ed to give Barolli and his music undivided attention, and said nothing more. A New Lenore AS HE crashed Into a finale that softened gradually until it was only a whisper, Barolli turned to Antoine and held out the baton. "My name is Barolli," he said. "Give my boys a whirl. See how they follow. It was evident he was proud of his collection of young musicians, their dark, sen sitive countenances testifying visibly of their Cubsn heritage. There was an eagerness in their faces as they turned to Antoine. "And this is Edmund Antoine. Vin," Lenore said. "He's maestro at the hotel." 'Yes, I know." returned Ba rolli. "You've evidently done some fine selecting and training here, Barolli," Antoine said. "I didn't suppose the island would produce mis son oi sum. .Oh. yes. Thev re born musi cians. They are so grateful for a chance to let it out" "They should have plenty of chance. Antoine turned then to the musicians. He looked them over calmly, seemed to be taking stork of them. The music on the racks was the old number Fritzi Sche(T made famous: "Kiss Me Again." Antoine gave the boys a quick down beat. Lenore and Vincent took up the words. Their voices soared. died to a tender cianissimo, and soared again. People passing on me aireei slopped to listen. Barolli's smile, when he turned to Antoine as they finished, cov ered a riotous welling of emotion. He had been singing Deside beau tiful Lenore Winthrope, his voice blending with hers, and his boys had played as they never had be fore. It was almost too much for one day. "You do with them what I never can." he said. 'No Antuine was emick to give credit where it was due "all you need Is a little time. Come around some morning. I'd like to have a talk with you. I've got to fiusn along now. ni play tor unch today. "Edmund. I'm going your way. Let me drive you," Lenore of fered quickly. And then, as An toine suspected, after they had settled in Lenore's car, Lenore wanted to talk. "Eddie, you won't say anything to Adele, will you? I mean about my being there with Vin? She and Father would just die if they knew. Of course it's not serious, I mean with Vin. It's just my art, my singing. And Gervase is com ing down with Father any time now. I just don't want anything unpleasant You see they wouldn't undrrstsnd." "But I understand, Lenore," Antoine said seriously, wishing to sot her fears at rest "I won't mention anything to vour mother or father or your hanttaome Count Gervase de Bcllefort though I hate to see you throw yourself away on that effete gentleman!" He laughed a little on the last. "You know Barolli really has got something " "Oh. Kddie, do you think so, really?" Her eagerness was slight ly surprising to Antoine. When they reached Casa Ma rina Antoine dropped down on a bench for the few moments he still had lrtt, and watcned Le nore go into the notcl. He wasn't so sure It was al Just her art that took her to t''ai barren hall to practice with Ba rolli. He hd seen her face as sh stood beside Barolli lifting In voice with his in sor.g.
