PAGE FOUR FOR THE LOVE OF PAM rBy VJVIEN GREY: Chapter IT Unexpected Gaeat TAM1 Ten yean have been MshnMl iff the far end of my life!" Jerry'i arm, c 1 o s e d around her and drew her tini, the water from their dripping garment! making a little circle around them. "Silly!" Pam exclaimed. "Have you forgotten that I wa born in Key West?" , , , "And consequently awim like a fish. Yes, I had forgotten. Id forgotten everything in the world. Pam, except that il you went out of my life all of ita reason for be ing would be gone. That If I lost you I'd have lost everything. Pam rhmtf to Jerrv in momen tary panic. His words had brought home to her doubly what it would mean to her to lose him. She paused on the though of what she would have done if he had not -.l.tnaaH in after hpr. It would, she knew, have built a barrier that they could never have surmounted. It would have separated them forever, because it would in a sense have been making a choice between his own crowd and her. If he had chosen the others in that crisis, she could never nave lorgiven nun. "Oh Jerryl" Her emotion finally found words. "I feel that way, too. If I lost you, I'd lose every thing. Everything!" I know, darling. I know." He kissed her damp face. 'Pam, you're the dearest, sweetest girl In the world!" . . "If I only could be, for you! I want to be everything in the world that you want' It was Jerry who was first con cerned about their wet clothes. "You'll take cold," he said, wet things. Come. I must get you home where you can get 'You keep forgetting that we Conch aren't afraid of saltwater," Pam laughed. "Salt water never gives you a cold. It's being out fa the rain that does that." "Says you! Come, I'm taking no chances with you, sweet" "But really I mean It Jerry. We're never afraid of being wet with salt water. It never gives you a cold. That's a belief handed down through generations of sea faring men and their women. We're never afraid of the ocean, but we don't want Its conch shells In our houses. We feel they're bad luck when you bring them under a roof." "Nevertheless I'm taking no chances with you." He lifted her In his arms and carried her to his car. "You can change, darling, and then we'll go to the hotel and I'll change. We'll go back to the party and laugh at them for hav ing given us the sweetest hour r,t mv life" "No, Jerry. I can't go back. Don't ask me to do that I couian u 3ut you don't expect me to V vou home and then go back to the party alone, Pam? I couldn't do that either. Not row, Darling, T'v ent tn have vou a little while longer. The night's too young and ' beautiful to give you up, even for few hours, just yet. "I'll tell you what" Pam'a voice was as eager as his own "let's change and then drive to South Beach and let me show you the Southern Cross. They say this is the only place in the States where you can see it" "In the mood I'm in, sweetheart an ordinary garden-variety star would be a seven-days' wonder." It was then that they were aware of Blaze standing beside the car, patiently awaiting her turn at attention. Jerry turned to her. "You four-legged Idiot" he said tenderly. "But you deserve a tewelled collar for vour lovalty to night Come on," he invit.-d and, with her dripping coat, sh got in. to the cur and rode along. A Heroine Now MCLTTA met them at the door and hurried to get a towel with which Jerrv couid dry Blaze. She hovered over Pam and clucked in anxiety like an old mother-hen over her chicks. And Jerrv. sitting on the bot torn steo briskly rubbing Blaze, who was thoroughly enjoying the attention, called ud to Pnm. "Make yourjelf beautiful, darl ing," he said. "On second thought, this skipping the rest of the party is no go. We've got to go jack. There is a lot of fun still to be had; the night's young. Besides. Pam, you re a heroine now, ana won't that bite Into Lenore's pride and vanity! That's going to be a wallop right where it will hurt her most. Pam in her pride." Pam didn't reply immediately. "We can't let that girl annihil ate us," Jerry went on then. "Besides, Mother and Dad would worry. They'd think we'd de veloped quick pneumonia, or something. So the Southern Cross can wait. "All right" Pam's reply came thoughtfully, "anything you say." Pam was thinking, 'laeir mutual danger had tricked her into a revelation she hsd not wanted to make. A sudden upthrust of emo tion bad led her to say things she would probably regret things she was not even sure she meant There was I.eo. Steady, depend able, worthwhile Leo. And the memory of Jerry'i bet about her SINGER HELEN MORGAN UNDERGOES OPERATION Chicago, Sept. 28 vT Helen Morgan, the torch linger, under went a serious abdominal opera WONDER TIES OF PURE WRINKLE-PROOF GLASS S1.50 Sold Only af STORE FOR MEN with his friends still lay between them, an invisible barrier. That had not been explained away. Perhaps never could be. She would eo back to the yacht with him. That was all right That would tantalize Lenore still fur ther, and she had asked for all that could be given her. Pam was selecting another dress to put on. "Since we're going to go back, .Trrv" she said to him. "run along and get yourself into other tnings wniie i m oreuuig, wien come back for me." She selected a dress of deep cream, a heavy rich silk that a sailor had brought to her father in return for some favor Queller ton had done for him. The mari golds, none the worse for their impromtu bath, were the single touch of ornamentation it needed. The encore, darling," Jerry said as he saw her again, "is bet ter than the original number. If the girls were jealous of you before, they'll turn handsprings now. I'm glad to be going back to the party. "But" with elaborate emphasis, "that doesn't mean I don't want to see the Southern Cross with you later, darling." New Guest AS JERRY and Pam walked from their car to the boat they noticed the solitary figure of a man standing staring at the boat with its blaze of light and sounds of gayety. They were passing quite near to him when some thing about the figure caught Pami attention. She looked a trace more closely and then spoke. "Hello. Vin," she said. "Oh! Hello, Pam." Tne young man seemed to start as he spoke. Jerrv nee red through the shadows and recognized the youth as the one who had seemed to be trailing Freda. "Do you know him?" Jerry asked in a low voice. ' Tve known Vin all my lire. Jerry turned to the young man then. Come along In and Join the party," he said. Wy dad own the scow, so it's all right!" vin hesitated only a moment "I'm not dressed " he started to say, and Pam smiled gently, for she knew the fresh white suit Vin wore was probably his best "Oh. you're all right!" Jerry cut In. No rules and regulations here. Or if there are, 1m the bird who makes them. So come In and grab yourself an evening." i d line tor Vin was beside them, walking in with them. Go nick yourself a partner, and have yourself a time, Jerry ad vised nim with a friendly warmth. "No introductions here, the ihip'a flag does for that!" So Vin slipped away to find himself a girl and Jerry and Pam were the bright atari of the jaa- ment Everyone had their congratula tions to offer. As soon as he could. Jerry took Pam away to a little spot atop the caDin, irom wnicn he wanted to show her the stars. Up there he said: "It wasn't stars I wanted to show you, Pam. Look! And he held In his hand the aea bean and the violet she hsd given him. "I've keot them with me continually." "Jerry!" That swift uplift of her heart again. "But how foolish of you!" ' Foolish? Not at all. darling. These represent one of the smart est things I've ever done. And, you know" he was grinning whimsically 1 seem to remem ber your saying you'd never ask me into your house again and my saying you could nt Keep that threat Well, tonight you asked me in. I seem to be getting some where. Progressing, as it were. "Foolish! Could I be discourte ous to a msn who had riske his life for me when he thought I needed saving?" "Foolish? Well, as I seem to remember saying before, darling, it's nice foolishness." It was then that Blare, who had been crowded away from them in their triumphant return to the yacht snitled inquisitively from the stairs. Her nose was quickly followed by her whole eager body, her tail wagging madly at dis covery of her loved ones. "You old snooper!" Jerry scratched her ear fondly. "Shall we go down and dance now?" Antoine was idling near the rail as Jerry and Pam passed. "Come on, Antoine," Jerry said. we coum ao wun a Drace oi cadenzas!" Antoine grinred. "The stars of the evening have but to command," was hia easy re ply as he moved toward his piano. A chord brought all the boys to attention. And Edmund's open ing notes brought dancers to the floor. Pam, looking over Jerry'i shoulder, saw Vin trying to en gage Lenore in conversation while de Bellcfort stood close. Lenore seemed to writhe with embarrass ment Pam signaled to Vin. He cut in. As Antoine finished, he caught Vin's eves in friendly greeting and held out his baton. Vin moved swiftly toward him, urged on by a friendly pat from Pam. "Show them how Iff done, Vin," ihe said.
