FOR THE LOVE OF PAM s By VJVIEN GREY: CHAPTEB 18 Trie Count Displeased THE WinthiDpe pride and prob' ' leml Jerry laid as Lenore puicd. ' "Shut upl" Hra eye flashed at him. ' First Vin played Rubenstein'i Romance seriously,' beautifully. Then he swung it He paused then, his eyes finding Lenore's. He spoke to the boys. Yes, the cellist and two violinists Indi cated. Vin took the piano hin self and the opening notes of Be- lovea, it is Morn rippiea irom Jus lingers. There was only the slightest pause while he doubled, wait- ins for her, then Lenore s deeo, throaty voice joined him. No one but Vin could have done it. With anyone else Lenore would have Been Just another girl with a nice parlor voice, but Vin put drama and color into his accompaniment lor Lenore s song. "Lenore!" There was a note of pride in Adele Winthrope s voice. I didn't know you had it in youl" "I haven't. It was Vin," she ac knowledged. Psm was applauding madly. I little more madly than any of the oiners, wno were certainly mate ing enough noise. And you applaud her after the poisonous way shes treated you? ' Jerry said in surprise. "Of course. Jerry. Lenore sang beautifully. Why shouldn't I ad mit that, even if there are things 10 Ke 10 wring ner neck lorr Of all the gathering, only Ger- vae granted the performance faint praise. He stood a little apart, looking on. He wasn't exactly pleased with the future Countess de Bellefort's Derform ing for a not-too-orderly party with a young man that no ont in particular seemed to know. "Look," Antoine said to Vin as M left the piano, "if you want to worn, ill make you and your ooys one or my units. 1 ve got a place I could aend you for a spring date. I need someone for it." "Are you really saying that, or am i dreaming f do 1 want to work!" Antoine grinned. "Come around. We'll get together on it." Though Pam watched for him, Leo didn't return. Pam knew that he was probably standing by, helping someone through a crisis. "Mow about that Southern Cross?" Jerry asked as they fi lially turned from the gayety of the party to his car. Pam had ex plained to him that with all the things she had to do on the next day she couldn't dance all the night away. 'But I've had a wonderful time, Jerry. Wonderful." "Come say good-night to Mother and Father, then," Jerry said. "Of course." "It's been such a lovely eve ning," she repeated to Jerry's parents, her face glowing. "This is only the beginning," Winthrope said brightly. "There are going to be lots more." Mrs. Winthrope, Pam's hand still held In hers, said: "Bart, this is the Jirl who made these beautiful owers." "It's a pleasure to meet some one so lovely and so clever," was Winthrope's answer. His eyes were quite serious, as If see ing In Pam that rare combination of a beautiful and useful girl. "And now ho. about that Southern Cross?" Jerry repealed. oo wey drove along bimonton Street to South Beach and looked across the water to the plare near tne norizon wnere the Sjutnern Crosr lay against the sky. Waves lapped softly on the beach. The row of houses back of it were dark shadows wrapped in sleep. Jerry could iust make out the out lines of the bandstand, where the boys had cofftnrly made their net with him about Pam. This might be the time to bring that up. square it Yet why risk spoiling a lovely moment? And perhaps she hadn't actually realized what Bruce meant Jerry had seen Bruce dancing with her on the yacht and everything seemed all right Why risk trouble? Shadows In the Dark 'T'HE warm scented beauty of the night asked no words. Back of its sea wall the southermost house in the United States rose broodingly in its deep shadows. It had changed hands recently, after being owned by one family for generations. Jerry wondered vaguely if houjes felt such things. Palm arouni it nulled crisply in a fresh breeze. Far out across the water a light moved slowly. A ship passing in the night "We'd better go back," Pam said finally. She, too disliked breaking the charm of the mo ment A Jerry moved to start the car, a figure was faintly discern ible on the white sand, moving in from the other street. A msn. The two in the car watched Intently and then saw a iprnnri Amir hur rying to Join the first Neither Pam or Jerrv made any verbal reference to the figures, but each knew the other had seen. Jerry turned the car and started back toward Division Street. Pam's house was wrapped In sleep. Pale hibiscus, closed for the night were like delicate fing ers reaching into the shadow. An orange tree near the walk was laying a lovely burden of scent on the darkness. "Pam," Jerry said as they stood at her door, "we've ironed out everything, haven't we? All there is left is for you to y yes to me and let me get your ring. Will you, Pam?" "Jerry." Pam'a role was troubled. His charm and hi gentleness were fingers that caught at her heart But a h t couldn't bring herself to feel that what he offered would be enough through the year. If only he would do something, show that he had worthwhile ambition and plan. "Jerry, don't ask me that yet Give me time. Give me time to think." And she knew part of her thought would be of Leo. "Tomorrow," he said solemnly, seeming to accept her plea for time and humor it "we're going on a picnic, Just you and L You must, he urged, when she hesi tated. "You see, I don't often tell a girl I love her. You're the first I've ever said that to Pam. We've got to celebrate!" Family Argument JERRY drove slowly back to Casa Marina. livinsf in a sort of super world in which everything had been beautified and glorified by love. The Winthrope suite, surpris ingly, was still lighted when he reached it Jerrys mother and father were talking as he entered. "Just why my children can't be satisfied with Casa Marina beach and have had to go out to the public ones and get acquainted with all kinds of people, is mora than I can understand, Mrs. Win thrope was saying. "I m really worried about Jerry and this girl. She seemed sweet enough. but.1 she finished lamely, "there's Freda, and we all like ner so much, one I one of us." You re always borrowing that sort of trouble, Adele," Jerry's father ilanced at him. but went on talking. "What's wrong with that girlr frankly, X do like her. "You would. Bart." hi wife ex claimed with good-natured resig nation. You would. I'm a chore for you. I know. Ade'.e, because I like the people who interest me, not Just those who have the right names and know the right people." He was poking gentle fun at her. "Oil, Bart, don't be that wayl" And Jerry, looking at them, re flected that his parents were still like very young people and atill apparently very much in love. "I like the girl, too. I thing she's sweet and clever. You saw the love v flowers she made for me. But as a girl for Jerry" she paused, ana Winthrope, glancing amusedly from her to his son. "I ttlr h Af A 4 I'll ,,n lid, wv, a.ub.v. .. . . go a bit further thar. that I like lier for Jerry. I haven t had the reoort of a car he, smashed sine he's known her. I agree with you. Freda's a good scout But I'm not sure that's what Jerry needs. Freda is just, some more of the same thing ior Jerry." wen, curt l must sayi Alter all, they're our children and no worse than any of their friends." "You misunderstand. Adele. I don't think they're bad at all. I think they're both fine neoole. Whs, they'd have to be, darling as your son and daughter. But they're being smothered by an artificial miasma that's come up around young ceoDle within the last few years and smell to Heaven of worthlessness." "Msy I put in a word here, sir?" Jerry asked, laughing. "All 'you want Jerry," aaid hi father. "Well, Pam would agree with you perfectly. She' told me th same thing, only a little more fiolitely. I'm beginning to believe t" "Scor one for Pam!" Win thrope excla'med. "Why, Bart I thought you loved your children!" "He does. Mother," Jerry said quickly. "That's the trouble: you both love us too much. I know we're a couple of spoiled brats. I deserved everything Pam said. That's why I took it and went back for more." "Jerry, you mean Pam critl cited you? Adele was achocked that anyone could find a flaw in one of her children. "That's exactly why I think she's whst Jerry needs," Win thrope broke in. "I know you hoped Jerry would do something brilliant with his marriage, at least; marry into the blue book or something. Look at us, Adele. They kicked me out of the blue book when we married, but it didn't spoil anything for us. And now since they've taken is back in without being asked, I'm no happier than I was before. And thats probably because I've al ways really loved you a much as a man can love a woman. 1 wouldn't be able tosav that if I'd married one of the stuffed petti coats my narents would have Jicked out for me. So let's give erry the same chance I had. He laushed good--,atureii;y. "And thank vou. sir." from Jerrv. "tiut how" Adele turned to her son "can we be sure this girl Isn't Just after Jerry's monev? That's another thing that's boln ered me wilh both of them. Jerry and Lenore." "We'll soon know that" Bart Winthrope was grinning queerly. "Jerry hasn't any money."
