She had left Vamet'i in tear, not
to much because aha had loat her
job but because (he had hurt Dan.
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.

Tl fEMOMES of yesterday, on the
barge at Poughkeepsie, were

' 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

party, my daughter can."
He laid finger on Lynda's
