PAGE TEN FOR THE LOVE OF PAM sBy VJVIEN GREY: . - Chapter 24 The Diamond J' T SEEMED the whole town wu parading along Duval Street in a eamval mood. Some in costume, aome in evening things, aome in treet clothes. A guitarist picked out the chorda of a Spanish love eon. Pam recognized the voice that caught the tune and carried it on. Then other voice joined. Eventually it was a full chorus ruing on the night air. Freda, dinging to Leo's arm as they stood under an awning. caught Jerry's arm and pushed something small and hard into hit hand. "Look, Jerry," she said, "this probably isn't the time tor it, no dramatic setting or anything, but , I'm making an honest woman of myself. I want you to have this! i I'm beginning to have silly ideas like that occasionally. Don't ask me why!" Then she had turned back to Leo and was giving her entire interest to something he was saying. Jerry looked at what he held in his hand. It caught the ray from a street lamp and gave out a beautiful radiance. His diamond. The large and flawless one he had bought for Freda that day on Fifth Avenue, a day that seemed like only a dream as he tried to look back to It He suspected why Freda had returned it She knew of course that he wouldn't have money to ?ive Pam anything as nice, any hing at all. with his new theory of independence. He glanced after r reda a bright figure in her scar let wrap, and his heart warmed. There was stuff in the girl after all he thought She was coming through as he intended to do. He alipped the ring into an inner pocket He wanted to give Pam a ring. But he'd wanted to get one for her. one that no one ewe had ever worn. Yet he knew it would prob ably be years before he could tuy one as ttne aa the one Freda had Just returned to him. He looked at Pam, wondering what to da She was singing with the others. He bent swiftly and kissed the curl that had escaped the flowered band that was holding her hair back. In the moment that Pam smiled back at him Jerry Winthrope was aware that emotion does not re main static He knew he had never loved her before as he did tn that moment And he knew just as surely that what he felt for Pam was a progressive thing. It would grow and grow until it enveloped his whole life. He must h thought get her promise. He must And before many more hours passed. When Pam and Jerry got home at one o'clock Mclita had a little supoer ready for them. "You mean your help would stay up to do this for you, and do it so pleasantly?" Jerry asked in surprise. ' "Yes. And the lovely part Is they do it without being asked. Melita's that way." "Melita?" Jerry said gently. "Or Is it you, Pam? Perhaos the service you get ia a reflection of the treatment you give." Luncheon Party DAYS passed. Pleasant sunswept daya and balmy, perfumed nights. Pam kept to the routine of her work. Jerry saw her after noons occasionally, and evenings often. And one especially lovely day when the begonia around her house was flaming orange and the hibiscus blooms were lush on their bushes. Pam asked the Winth ropes for lunch with her in the house on Division Street She felt she could, since their social program had slowed considerably, due to their changed financial status. Lenore refused the invitation, but Bart and Adele were as gay and pleased as Jerry himself. - Juan and Mclita loved the stvle Pam put on that day. It waa like old times. There was tangelo punch first served In tall glasses of fine crystal that had been in the family for years. Juan brought them in on the teakwood tray that had been brought from some far off romantic place by an early Quellerton with an eve for beauty. The Winthropoj walked through the interesting old house, admir ing things. Mrs. Winthrope exclaimed over the polished mahogany table laid with a hand-embroidered lunch eon sot. "And this beautiful work Is yours. I'm sure?" she asked of the interesting colored designs on the heavy linen. "Yes." Pam was smiling and flushing a little. "And that linen was once a pair of plus-fours that belonged to a very overstuffed friend of Dad'al" Mrs. Winthrope looked at Pam in admiration. "What an ingenious girl you are." she said sincerely. "You learn to be when you like nice things and von haven't much money," Pam laughed. "It's a good thing to learn." Adele Winthrope 's words came with a peculiar earnestness She was thinking of Lenore and how OPPOSITION TAKES AUSTRALIAN HELM Canberra.

The girl had made everything as difficult aa ahe possibly could. Adele looked at Pam thoughtfully. There was such a difference between the two girls. After all. she thought Jerry had been fortunate in finding Pam, Pam had selected for her lunch eon only typically local foods. There was fruit cup wedges of orange, grapefruit tangerine and banana served in pale green glass. Conch chowder, which had een simmered until it waa a per feet blend. Turtle steak which Melita had pounded until all of the water was out of it and then cut in thin slices and fried to a tender, lovely brown. Pam was aweet and gracious aa a hostess and, as her guests left she pinned a corsage of orchid tree flowers on Mrs. Winthrope'! shoulder. - "That's very sweet of you, my dear," Adele said. It touched her that Pam could return so much friendly charm for their former indifferent acceptance of her. "And don't I rate something?" Mr. Winthrope asked gaily. Pam took a button marigold from a vase in the living room and put it in his buttonhole with a great deal of pretty ceremony. Her eyes were very bright as she did it and her heart seemed to miss a beat for the flower re minded her of Jerry's first gift to her, French marigolds packed in ice and planed down from Miami because they matched her eyes. "You're not coming with us, Jerry?" Adele asked .of her son who made no move to go. "No, Adele," he said and Pam liked the easy camaraderie of it Any young man who could be on those terms with his mother must be all right "I've things to say to Pam." Pam turned to him quickly after she had waved her last good bye to his parents. "Was I aU right?" ahe asked eagerly. Bad Ending TOU were, my dear," Jerry an swered tenderly. His eyei rested on her in admiration. "I'm proud of you, Pam. There Isn't another girl I know who could do as you're doing. I mean support yourself, be so indenendent and all that. But there's one thing that still puzzles me. Will you tell me about it now?" "What?" Her eyes met his. "That night of the party. An tolne'a supper party, why did you run away from me?" This would be the time to straighten that out he thought if Pam really had understood Algar Bruce and had been hurt Pam turned away and consid ered a moment The old hurt of that night flooded back like a rising tide. It was still a thing that she hadn't forgiven. A sud den desire to hurt Jerry rose in her. She had been so hurt herself that night. She wished he hadn't spoken of it just after their lovely luncheon party. His question brought back aharply all of the bitter humiliation she had been trying to forget A strange, intan gible barrier seemed to rise be tween them again. "You haven't answered yet, Pam," Jerry reminded her gently. "You made a joke of me that night Jerry!" "A Joke? Pam, dear, but I didn't! I couldn't have done such a thing ever feeling as I do about you." "But you did. You you hu miliated me. And I hate you for itl I hate you, Jerry Winthrope! 'Tarn!" Jerry's voice was tense. He was sure now that Pam did know about the bet Sure that was what she was referring to. He must right that and immedi ately. "Do you mean the bet? Ed mund's and my bet about you? Surely you haven't taken that seriously? Pam, it was Just a joke, something" but Pam's voice was breaking in wildly. All of the sturdy Quellerton temper she had inherited was flaming within her. "A joke! If your idea of a joke is that low and cheao " It was just there the old-fash-toned knocker touched the elec tric bell of the front door. Pam stopped speaking and stood for a moment of indecision. She spoke to Melita, who was coming to answer the door: "1 11 take it Melita." She opened the door to see the stony, expressionless face of Le nore Winthrope staring at her without recognition. "Tell Jerry I want the kevs to his car," Lenore said, as if giving an order to a servant Jerry, who had recognized Ig nores voice, came to the hall. "Who wants the keys to my car?" he asked of Lenore. "I do." "You're not talking to me, Le nore. You don't get any car keys from me." "I've got to have them!" "So what?" Jerry asked in irony. "Jerry Winthrope,. shut up!" Lenore said fiercely, lunging at her brother. Te he eeattnae4 trallan government today short ly after Prime Minister Arthur W.
