I haven't honor, you were sayingT" "Well, you haven't! If you were honorable, would you be engaged to one girl and try to cike love to another? Is that the conduct - of an honorable man I Of a person who even deserves to be called a iman?" Therel It was out, and in a voice that could not conceal its hurt "Is it my fault," Jerry de manded fiercely, "that I blundered into an engagement before I'd found the girl I really lovec? Is it my fault the girl who's wearing sny -ing won't release me?" He'd been startled. He hadn't kne i Pam was aware of the engage ment between himself and Freda. Yet he might have known she would near or it. lwA Dam ritk I n m tf.lt.. I may, realized that Freda nad not released Jerry after alL Freda 'had not done what she promised. one might nave expected that. t "No." Pam said coldly. ! suppose nothing is your faulL Nothing ever would be seta fault ' I couldn't see you ever taking the blame or anything, not you. "You'll eat those words, young lady." Jerry's voice was d-ed with anger. "I didn't plan this. I 'didn't expect t. come down here - and fall in love with a young tigress. But I have! And I'm going - to do something about It. "Tigress? I'd rather be one any day than a worthless human (being! Stop callinf me names and get out ol here! "I suppose I started this name- . ellm',r "Get out I saidl On vour wav. 0 can't bear the sight of you. I don't want to have to look at . you! Jerry's eyes were -Using with - repressed anger. "The time will come, Pam," he said in a low carefully steadied tone, "when you'll ask me to come into your house. He turned then and walked out B'.t: stood looking from one . to the other, and finally, with her tail and head down, walked slowly after Jerry. After all. he was her master. And Pam, left alone in the fa miliar room, put her head down on the table and cried. Pride and 'courage were all right as long as Jerry was there looking at her. But they were poor balm to an aching heart Melita came noise ' iessly to the door, her eyes warm iwith sympathy, but she moved . 'away again without speaking. There was nothing on could say to heartbreak, no healing words. Pam had thought, while Jerry . atood before her, she was doing the thing sh wanted to do. She had thought sending him out of her life and turning all of her at tention back to familiar activitiea was what she wanted. But now that the thing was done, she was ' not sure. She was suddenly aware ' of a cold emptiness in her life. Pam lifted her head and turned to her work. Tber were things ne must ao. ' She had felt that carrying on fin life as she had lived it, doing jthe things she had been doing, rwas what she wanted and needed most But with Jerry gone she wondered drearily if she had fceen right It was hard to get fcsck to work. tittle Basket OW TT WAS noon when ah was resdy to deliver a wide- primmed cocoanut hat to a woman at Casa Marina. Pam tarted resolutely. Sh dreaded (oing there. It might mean an other meeting with Lenore. Or Jerry. And sh felt unequal to Lenore's chill scrutiny, or to fac ing Jerry calmly. It took all the courage she could summon not to throw up her hands and decide that sh was beaten. But Pam hadn't come from stock that gave up easily. Sh walked along the winding drive and into the shadowy lobby of the hotel. She left the hat at the desk, with tha clerk who had been instructed to pav her. The five dollars that she folded and put in her purs gave her chin a derided uplift When she reached the door sh looked out into one of those sud den showers typical of the place. It seemed to drop from a sky that opened as a spigot might so sud denly did it come. Pam had never ceased to wonder at these brief showers and the lovely fresh sweet smell they brought It gave the world a sens of starting all over again. She waited until th rain stopped, and then started along the wet sidewalk. Near the street under the dense foliage of a great Spanish lime. Lenore and some of her crowd had gathered to wait the passing of the rain. It was too - late to turn bark when Pam saw them. It would look too much at if Lenore had frightened her and was winning at her little game of snubbing, so Pam forced herself to walk eaimly past, glancing at those in -he group that sh knew ' and liked ' "Oh," she ierd Lenore'i yolc.

Miss Mary Hensler has pur chased a new car. pnylllaa Wheeler la attending school at Phnenls Tommy Henaler has gone to Klara- Football Contest Starts This Week Store For Men 1 1 1 Fern Valley "th little basket girl!" And then after an instant: "What funny tracks! Oh, they're those rubber soles from th dim store. How funnyl" Pam felt her fact flush. Sh re alized that her footprints on th sidewalk had revealed on of her little economies. She had on the sensible low-heeled shoes that she always walked the uneven streets of Key West in. and they were th ones that Juan had re soled for her, using materials from the ten-cent store. Economy was no disgrace, she tried to tell herself as she walked on. But somehow Lenore and her gay crowd made all of those old standards and principles, which hsd seemed so fine and worth while, whips that cut cruelly into her pride and flushed her face with a humiliation sh was actu ally ashamed of. Pam felt that sh couldn't go home and face her work and the familiar things. The familiar things somehow seemed to be failing her. Everything had gone topsy-turvy. Even the town was that way. It had all gone a little mad since falL And yet on tha surface there was little visible change. Pam felt that her life was like that Tur moil had suddenly boiled up in it without much meaning, but deeply disturbing. And yet on the surface, she was going on liv ing as she always had. She strolled to the yacht basin, hoping to forget what had been happening, get hack to normal again. But the Winthrope yachl was there. It was apparent thai it was being made ready for something. Pam wondered vaguely if it was for sailing, and felt her heart start uncomfort ably. If the Winthrope yacht sailed, that meant Jerry, too. would sail to some other port She saw the Winthrope car come ud and park: then saw Jerry's mother get out and go to the yacht Mrs. Win thrope was still on the yacht when Pam finally turned toward home Jerry's Letter JERRY, his pride deeply hurt, wslked back to the hotel. Blaze at his heels. Pam hadn't even given him a chance to apologize for having made her the subject of a bet The thing had been en tered into so light! v that day on the beach that he'd hadn't rea lized it might be humiliating to Pam. He had gone to see her with every intention of squaring that no matter how he must humble himself. And sh had not given him a chance. Little SDitflre." he thought the faintest shadow of a erin liftin the corners of his mouth. He couldn't remember ever having been so wrought-up before. Prob ably because life, heretofore, had always turned a smiling face to him. He did not know what any sort of denial was. Then it came to him with a start that he had an envelope In nn pomei ne naa not opened. It was Freda's note. There in her big, graceful scrawl vre the words that released him. K was stunned with the suddenness ol the thing, and the queer twist of fats that had kent him from opening th note before he saw Pam. If he had known what Freda's message was, he could have given Pam proof that his in tentions were honorable. That hi wasn't as much of a playboy at she seemed to think. Jerrv had an imDulse to rush back to Pam. But his anger, still alive, crushed that. He went on into th hotel. There were letters for him. Among them, one from Mar Frisbee. After a aketrhv reading that really grasped little of what she had written, he tore it into small pieces and dropped it into a wastebasket But Jerry couldn't refrain long from trying to see Pam. He tele phoned her house, only to find she was out Next dav ahe was ah all-day picnic with friends. Mean- wnne. Lenore Winthrope had dis covered that davs had earlv mornings. After that thos morn ings were lovely. Vin Barolll. with his .in. seated love of the beautiful, had taught her that Lenore would slip out of :he hotel In the early morning and meet Vin at Kest Beach. They would ait on the steps of a cabana and watch the sun rise and turn the water first to psle rose, then to living, mov ing gold, and finally to th vivid blues and greens of dav. It was on a morn ne that the sat there, talking earnestly, thai Pam awoke early, got her bicycle and derided to ride to the beach to be there alone in th quie! beauty of dawn. The cabana near the white nle. ander was her favorite place. Sh loved the fragrance of the flow ers when they were In bloom. She leaned her wheel against the back of the bulletins:, then walkeri around to the water side. Twc people, absorbed in each other, started apart Lenore'a fare ws; flushed as she looked at Pam, but her eyes chilled swiftlv. "Go away, beach girl!" she sals sharply.
