She wai caught In a web the aaw : no way of breaking. But the would not have minded 10 much, ahe told herself, had the been the only one to be hurt But the droop of Dan'a shoulders as he stood in Varnefa, told hei he was suffering, too. This was almost more than ahe could bear. Blindly she walked down the West Side subway steps and boarded a southbound train. Force of habit prompted her to go home. She tried, vainly, to keep back her tears. A sympa thetic woman, imagining that only death could cause Marie's grief, moved aside to let the girl into a corner seat. "I know, rve lost dear ones too," the woman said. "The first shock is the hardest" Marie wiped her eyes. Dai might as well be dead. She would never aee him again. She recalled her last glimpse of him, standing alone and bewildered In the salon. After Varnet had screamed at hes that she waa fired, Marie had put on her street clothes, prepared tc go. Before ah left, she took otu last look at the salon. It was then that ah had aeen Dan, trying tc understand why ah refused tc ae him. . e e Tl fEMOMES of yesterday, on the barge at Poughkeepsie, were : still with her. The kindness of her ' lather and mother. It waa as If ahe had been aj child again. She could not' cause them, specially her father, mora trouble. Bat slid not like Dan and Marie doubted if she could ever win her father's approval Marie took oft her hat and rested her head against the car window. The, anxiety of the last few days had left ita mark. Trou ble had washed, the color from her. cheeks, deepened the shadows un der her eyes. But ah remained, in spit of all this, an extraor dinarily lovely girl - ' People in the ear stared, sym pathetically, at her slender, blue dad figure, her heart-ahaped face and dark curia. Marie did not aotic them. She was trying to Igure what had prompted her at tempt to flood the Molly. And ret, ah decided, as she left the rub way, if she had It to do all aver again she would probably do the same thing. ' An east wind whipped her skirt around her legs as she walked along, still thinking of yesterday, frankly miserable the moment ahe spened the valve, she had watched ser father try vainly to stop the low of water into the barge. Why lid the .valve have to break at that moment? It had worked tasily when she opened it She tould see Bat, cursing, as he struggled to close it Then he had rushed below, grabbing packing as he went But the damage had been done. The Molly was half filled, wallowing long. The valve was jammed open and the barge would have to be pumped out before the valve , could be repaired. Bat had hailed the captain of . lie tug and slowly the little fleet lad turned, headed back to New fork. This is what Marie had loped would happen and yet k'hen it actually became a fact aer conscience rebelled. . A flush of shame colored hei cheeks now. She had not beer srought up on a barge for noth ng. She knew what it meant foi ler father to give up to fail tc leliver his . cargo. But strongei iian her regret had been her ma( lesire to see Dan, to forget every. Jiing, and to try to make hiir target Lynda Martin. : Now, none of that mattered. She tad burned her bridges, ,, "JTELLO, Marie. Where's Tom my?" A barge kid hailed ha as she crossed the pier.' . She smiled - wanly. "I dont enow, Bobby." ". , Fate seemed to be closing in on her. Even the children associated her with Tommy. She taw her father growing less antagonistic toward the trucker. With Tommy 'lis anger , was on the surface. With Dan, It was far deeper. What lad caused this? "A fellow in rented Tux waa ookin' for you Marie," Bobby :hanted. ' ,. Marie looked questioningly at aim. "What do you mean?" "He Waa her this afternoon A iuytoo)t his picture, too." "Stop your nonsense," she said, ind climbed the steps to the barge. Mrs. La Porte stuck her head ut at the sound of footsteps. 'Marie, what are you doing home i it this hour?" "Oil, Mamma"' Marie broke into aars. "I am to unhappy, I don't mow what to do. No one can lelp me." Mrs. La Porte hovered over Marie as if she were a baby again. She brought cold water for nor yes. She put tender arms around ler shoulders and talked sooth JUjly. "Say nothing now," she begged. 'Wait until you feel better, it is Jiii barge. Your father must move ashore. You are too grown o stay here any longer." She cast a vindictive glance iround the neat cabin. "It is the me thing your father and I have lisagreed on. When you grew up : wanted you to have a chance ike other girls." "Oh, Mamma," wailed Marie. 'It isn't the barge. It a life, and here is nothing I can do about t And I've lost my job!" "What's life?" Bat's big voice loomed. But he forgot his ques ion when he saw Marie's tears. My baby, you're crying, and I've jeen planning auch a nice thing 'or you. Don't worry about that lob." He held up the society page of iie evening paper. "You're going have a party Just like that" He pointed to a story in the first nlumn. Mrs. La Porto gulped. "Have rou lost your mind? We can't lave it her on the barge." "No. But if theese Miss Lynda Uarth) can hive a coming-out party, my daughter can." He laid finger on Lynda's FLAPPER FANNY . ccaiLiMD rr atASnmcc mc "Wag it a nice party, baby?" "Ooh, swell!
