FOR THE LOVE OF PAM
iBv VIVIEN GREY:
Chapter II
Exit Jerry
"VTS?" Jerry'i voice was ten.
"Go on. 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

Yet he might have known she
would near or it.

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-

"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. '

"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. "We don't need any spiei
around here."
