FOR THE LOVE OF PAM
i By VIVIEN GREY;
Chapter 11
Boner By Bruce
A NTOINE ni dwelling on the
exceptional talent of Youn(
Barolli it was rare to find a
voice of such pleasing: natural
quality and a definite gift for di
rection in tht tame person when
Algar Bruce strolled along and
dropped down beside him.
Bruce began talking of An.
-toine's party and then of a girl he
had danced with there,
"I danced with her once, and
then she disaooeared. Mr usual
luck was running! Know who she
117 And Bruce described her.
"That sounds like Pam Queller-
ton. Antoine said.
"Pam Quellerton? Is she the
most beautiful thing you've ever
seen? Does she make you think of
all the lovely places you've ever
been and lovely things you've
ever done? Is she more like a
flower than any girl you've ever
amown7
Antoine smiled.
"If you do mean Pam Queller
ton, that's a masterpiece of un
derstatement about her. But it
sounds like her all right. But your
raving is going to Be just an
empty echo, lad. Jerry Win th rope
has already staked his claim
there."
Bruce stared at Antoine for
startled instant.
"What do you meant" ha de
manded finally.
"Why, didn't you know Jerry
took her to my party? She's the
local girl he's threatening to give
Freda the air for?"
"No, I didn't know that I didn't
know."
"Well, you know It nowl" And
Antoine rose to his feet
"Wait a minute!" Bruce urged.
"There's something well, I've
pulled a heck of a boner! I told
her. I told that girl all about the
bet about her. And I thought
something was funny, because
she left me like a shot and I didn't
see her again the rest of the eve
ning. I told her! And she's so
sweet and gentle!"
It was Antoine s turn to stare
t him in complete amazement.
"Are you standing here telling
me mat you tola ram vueuerton

Now of course she'll think Jerry
is just, maxing sport 01 nen xou
looi: un. you fool!
Algar'a face mirrored all of his
wretchedness. He had liked Pam
too much to want to hurt her. He
had blundered terribly and with
out intention to hurt
Jerry and his mother parted,
and Jerry walked on In the sun
light while Adele went into the
hotel. A bellboy, hurrying across
the grass, stopped Jerry and gave
him a note as ha reached Bruce
and Antoine.
"Jerry. I have something to tell
you. It s important" There was
a certain urgency in Bruce s voice.
Jerry glanced at the note and
then slipped it Into his pocket
without opening it
"Shoot! Jerry said to Bruce.
Haltingly, Algar Bruce man
aged to make a full confession of
his blunder, spsring himself not
at all. He seemed to writhe under
the startled scorn that crew in
Jerry's face, but ha forced himself
"I'll do anything, anything I
can to make it right If you think
going and telling her " Bruce
concluded, but Jerry was already
racing away, calling over bis
shoulder:
"You misguided worm!" Blase
was bounding at his heels.
Enter Blase
PAM came downstairs, Freda's
note still In ber hand, and took
her place at the table where
Mellta had prepared her break
fast It was as if with Jerry's
friendship, a very important part
of her life had gone. Yet she tried
to tell herself that was ridiculous.
She had known Jerry to short a
time.
Finishing her breskfast she
went to her workroom and sat
down at her table. But the Joy of
doing seemed to hsve gone from
her Angers. They hsd lost their
skill and her heart had lost its in
terest. Melita moved silently Into the
room to tell her she was wanted

But suddenly she was cold to aTl
of it Something waa missing
from the picture.
She walked back to the kitchen.
Melita was about to give their
morning feed to the cats. It had
been a rite of the Quellerton
household for generations to put
food out for homeless cats every
morning. Sea folk have a strange
feeling for cats, and Pam liked to
keep on with the habit
"Let me!" she said quickly as
she took tht pans from Melita'i
hands.
Pam was In a better mood. Sud.
denly she was aware of commo
tion, lne cats scattered. Blaze
trotted into the scene, her tongue
hanging out of one side of her
mouth, laughter as plain in her
Irish eyes as ever in any colleen's.
"Why, Blaze! Were you chasing
my eats?" Pam asked in amuse
ment for the cats had nearly fin
ished. Blaze walked up the steps and
nosed her hand. She was allowed
to walk in through the house with
Pam. Blaze disturbed nothing.
Her investigation of the charming
old house with its treasures
brought from the four comers of
the earth went no further than
polite and interesting sniffing.
She trotted up the stairs and
made a quiet round of the rooms,
satisfying herself that it was a
very proper house in which all
was well, and then returned to
the study where Pam was at her
work table.
Pam's attention waa engaged
when a voice spoke to her.
"Hello, Pam. She looked up to
see Jerry, and swiftly, against her
wish, all of the anger of the night
before washed from her.

enough to walk right in and make
our apologies. If you knew how
hard this is "
"I suppose it would be hard for
you, Jerry," Pam broke in coolly,
having gotten possession of her
self again. "You've had so little
practice in such things."
"What do you mean, Pam?"
Jerry waa obviously startled at
her mood.
"Oh, Jerry, why did you come
here when you know you don't
mean anything you say or do?
Why?"
"But I do, Pam! I don't under

Pam was silent for a moment

Jerry, who had been on the

HERO OF '98 .
During the Spanish-American war Admiral Cervera of the Spanish navy managed to sail
his small fleet across the Atlantic, eluding all U. S. ships, and take refuge in the harbor of San
tiago, Cuba. The Americans determined to bottle him up and chose young Lieutenant Richmond
Pearson Hobson to sail an old a hip into the mouth of the harbor and sink it. The exploit failed,
and Hobson was captured, but because of his daring attempt he became the U. S. hero No. 1 of
the day. Later, a candy company brought out caramels called "Hobson's Kisses!"
Hobson, retired as a rear admiral, died In 1937 at the age of 66.
