FOR THE LOVE OF PAM i nil VJYltri okci; Chapter Overboard PAM wu aware mora than once of Lenore's smouldering eyes unon her. She causht a slim use of Jerry talking to Freda. Her heart started uneomio rtaniy Could that be jealousy? Mrs. Win th rope had fastened Pam's violets at one end of a rwdsome scarf that was Dart of the black dress she wore. Pam was delight ed. Mrs. Winthrope must really bp: eased with the Rift Then Leo was dancing with her again. "You've never been quite as lovely as you are tonight," he said. She still wore his roses at her shoulder. "I'm beginning to think I've been laggard to my own loss. Have I, Pam?" "I don't know what you mean. Leo." They were standing beside the rail now, looking out over the silvered water. "Yes, you do, Pam. Am I too late? Have I let things go too long? Have I been too alow in asking you for a definite answer? And yet if it means your happi ness" His words were inter rupted by one of the ship's offi cers. "Beg pardon, sir, but you're wanted on the gangplank. Some one from the hospital. Says it's Important, to please hurry. Leo turned hastily to Pam, touched her band for a fleeting moment: "There was a critical case. One I operated on this afternoon." His words were clipped and earn est "That's the worst of being doctor. Right in the middle of a proposal! Pam, I'll come back If I can, but I probably can't" Til hold everything until you dot" She patted his shoulder as he turned. "It's swell to see some one who feels bis duty and goes to perform it" At the gangplank Jerry, who had seen the messenger come to tha boat, waited for Leo. He liked the young doctor. "I m leaving her In your care.-1 Leo said hurriedly. "I expect you to make a iob of seeing that she has a good time and gets home aafely.'r Jerry knew without being told that he referred to Pam. He Knew too that Leo meant that she must be protected from Lenore's cruel Jibes. "As It anyone has to ask me feat!" he said. "Come back if you an, Leo." Jerry went tack then and claimed Pam. Pam asked him to et her marigolds from the ice box, a little sorry thst she must make tha change after Leo had gone. "Don't be offended, Jerry," she aid. "I didn't know Leo would be called away, and I do want to wear your flowers." "I know. I'm glad they pleased you that's all I ask." "They're one of the sweetest thoughts I've ever known, Jerry. Thank you so much." He paused to look at her, then went and got the flowers, sweet and velvety and cool. Pam went to the powder room to fasten them, in place. She put the roses she had been wearing In a small vase she found there. Freda came in just as she was making the change. Path From Lenore CUCH popularity! I think you're 3 the only girl here who got two corsages. A a matter of fact. I didn't get any! May I have one?" Her Angers were at the stem of one of the roses. "Oh, surely! I know Leo would feel honored," Pam said as Freda fastened the rosebud in her hair. "From Leo? Then I'm all the snore flattered to wear it He's got stuff, that lad." "Yes, Leo is a real person." Freda turned to her sharply. "You haven't got the Indian sign en him, too, f hope? she asked. "Now that I'm bereft of Jerry, 1'va been casting about and had just about settled on Leo as worthy of my gifts " "Here's luck!" Pam laughed. "May the best girl win!" "My dear" Freda was sud denly serious "then I wouldn't have the ghost of a chance. 1 mean that. I think Jerry's lucky to have been able to trade a bored post-debutante in fnr a fresh and interesting island flower." And then Freda was gone with a lad who had claimed her with a gay meeting and drew her into an intricate dance step. Lenore, pasting, paused to stare insolently at Pain. She noted the changed corsage and new flames of displeasure lighted in her eyes. Pam smiled marjclrnly at her. "Yes," she said, as she lifted her shoulder slightly "from Jerry. The rosea were from Lea" "Come on, honey bee." Jerry was beside her again as if by magic, drawing her away from any opportunity to hear a reply that Ignore might have made. "I need a drink and you look as if you could do with one." Tney moved toward the bar. where, without even aklng her. Jerry ordered a very fancy and glorified orance Juice for Tarn. Blare had trailed them and stood beside Jerry, unmindful, in her quiet dignity, of the constant movement about her. Lenore, still smouldering, came alongside of them. She looked at Pam with scornful eyes, swept the girl from head to toe. "Every time I move, must I be Football Contest STARTS THIS WEEK California . t. Mnrr-a H-t) C m . U . I .

"Pleas remember Mother in vited Pam here, Lenore," Jerry replied. ' Because she's foolish enough to wsnt to please you! Why you have to bring all of your stupid flirtations to the attention of the whole world!" "That's just the difference" there was a peculiar in tenseness in Jerry's voice "between you and me. I mean what I'm doing, and have nothing to keep under cover! And now you'd better ahut up, if you know what's good for you. I don't want to get rough with you, Lenore, but I will if I have to." Pam, meanwhile, had been alp ping her drink as if she hadn't heard, and something about her calm indifference angered Lenore. Glass In hand, Lenore swaggered around to Pam's side. "I can imagine the story of where you get your clothes would make good reading," she said. "Making flowers and hats doesn't pBy for the sort of things you wear. I dare you to tell who does!" Pam turned sharply. There were no words, she felt, that could answer that Her hand rose awiftly and lay for an instant against Lenore's cheek. Lenore shrieked. "She struck me!" Her voice was high and wild. "That little rat hit me!" She lunged at Pam, who had turned and walked from the brawl. "Soft-pedal It, Lenore!" It was Freda's voice. Arm with authority. "You asked for it!" But Lenore seemed to get only the wilder at Freda's words. Sha rushed at Pam again. Pam, much the smaller, turned and, to protect herself, gripped the rail, her heels hooked into the lower one. She was caught in Lenore's rush and somehow unbalanced. There was a stifled scream, a flash of green, pale and dim in the moonlight, and then a splash of water. Three Go Over" "CHE'S overboard!" It was - Jerry voice, husky with alarm. "Someone overboard!" The cry went round the boat And then In still more panic: "Sharks! There are sharks in that water and barracuda. Oh, Jerry's over! Jerry!" "Jerryl Jerry!" It was Mrs. Winthrope st the rail Bart Win thrope, too, had joined the group, and other guests were disjointly trying to explain what had hap pened. "Jerry's a good swimmer," Bart Winthrope announced, "but what about the girl?" "Pam can do anything," a voice replied. "I did It, and I'm glad of it!" Lenore exclaimed. "Better a shark or a barracuda gets him than a beach girl!" "Lenore!" Pam, swimming through the pleasantly warm water, heard the girl's name in sharp rebuke from Mrs. Winthrope. hrbuke and alarm. She had heard, too, Jerry's Jiuirk dive and knew that he was ol lowing her. "You've done nothing to boast of, Lenore. I'd keep quiet, if I were you. It was spoken in a stern tone. Voices carried so over water. Pam could hear much of what was said against the con fusion of sound made by the les ser actors in the scene. And then she heard something that paralyird her with fright A third body had plunged into the water. She knew instinctively by the way it struck the water that it had been Blare. If there were sharks or barracuda near, Blaze would be the victim. Human be ings were often let alone, but dugs were seemingly a favorite prey. "The searchlight!" someone cried. "Turn the light on them. Lower a boat!" Pam was grateful for the light She swam easily and expertly. She turned and looked and finally saw the dog's head coming toward her. "Blaze?" she commanded. "Come here, Blaie!" The anim.il was making head way toward her. As soon as they were within reach of each other, Pam grasped Blaze's collar and pulled her along, swimming with all the speed she was capable of. Vaguely, she heard Jerry s voice calling her. "Why, she's got Blare!" some one shouted in amarcment as the light picked them out. Blaze, seeming to understand, swam with all her might beside Pam and actually, as Pam tired slightly, helped the girl. Pam had known it would Ju.si be a matter of getting Blaze started in the right direction, so she would not swim out to sea. Finally they were at the lower platform of the dock. There was a ladder there for swimmers to climb up, though very few people ever usrd it They were not en couraged to swim there. Pam clung to it and managed to push Blaze up. Plate's instinc tive tear of open slats mnde the thing difficult at firs', hut .' e grasped the idea, an! climbed carefully. Pam was laughing as she climbed the ladder which !ed to the platform. Jerry, breath less, was immediately behind her. Te eentlnaed On the Radio Chains Chain affiliation and ahere they are on the dial: KALE (MBS) 13.10. Portland: KtX INW'-Blue) HW.
