An ac cident, however, that Involved precise timing and a knowledge of his habits. Gusty wore a suit of greasy khaki dungarees and a tiny felt skullcap perched on his black hair. "Hl-yah, Sugar," he bellowed. Francie jumped like a startled fawn. "Oh, It's you. Gusty!" "In person." Francie drew a .circle on tha sidewalk with her toeless pump. "Aunt Hat discovered we were out of coffee and and . . ." "Fancy meeting me here, huh?" Gusty said. "Some girls get all . the breaks." She mustered a very decent blush, "I'm glad, though, Gusty. I . . . well, last night , . ." "You acted pretty corny." "I I know, Gusty, but it an happened so fast I hardly knew what I was saying." He shoved the skullcap back on his head, squinted. "You're a funny girl, Francie." "Am I?" "Never mind," Gusty said, tak ing her arm. "I'm bighearted. I'll walk home with you." They talked swing as they went . Gusty was playing a Job that , night He'd worked out some new "licks" that would startle thl world of music Francie didnt mention thl ' ticket At IT, under Aunt Hafi ' tutelage, she was beginning to ac quire a "feel" for masculine be havior. Something told her that ' this was no time to attack. Guity's mind was full of music For allies - she needed moonlight solitude ' and her loveliest frock. Arriving at the Weston's front . porch, Francie said, "Gee, Gusty, . i a like to near loose swell licks." "Would you?" he asked, sur prised. "I thought you weren't going to speak to me again." "That was last night, Gusty. I on-is cnsnge tnelr minds. -"And how! Wen, all right, HI pick you up around 8." Til be waiting," Francie lntad. ' TCXVEB in her life had Frande ' taken such ear In dressing. ' Aunt Hat, hovering In the back ground, poured out a steady ' stream of advice. It seemed odd' to Francie- to be doing all this for ' Gusty, who never noticed what she wore. But tonight she just had to make an impression. Why, maybe her whole future i depended on it! No doubt existed I in her mind that once she sang from Hollywood her career wasi assured. And, she reflected with a magnanimous glow, she'd see that Gusty got his chance, too. This thought made her feel a little less guilty about using her wiles en him. She put on tha new blue dress which somehow matured hen slender figure. She fussed with' her hair untn it resembled a Sheet of smooth golden syrup. Presently Aunt Hat bustled in with a bottle of French perfume. She touched tha glass stopper to Frande's hair and ears. Frande prayed that the generous amount of rouge and lipstick she used would escape Pops' keen eyes. But he only gazed at her In quiet admiration and said, "Be home by midnight" And then as she went out on tha porch, "Poor uusry ... Duke Meyer's Ksmpus Wildcats played that night under a severe handicap. No swing. The guests were practically aged, and at 11 toe party broke ud. Gusty's old roadster was at the feurb.

Gusty headed toward Tancle's street "Let's not go home yet" Fran ids pleaded. "It's so nice out and 'were a such a lovely moon." Gusty grunted ungraciously, but turned at the airport road, wnen iney reached the Held, Frande said, "Let's stop and (watch the midnight plane come in i. . . oh, not here.

In fact, so that she was Isure the French perfume wouldn't !be wasted. . Nor was It Gusty bent, took the fcalt In great whiffs. "Gee, you smell good, Frande. rWhv doncha alwava nut that atiiff Hon?" - She said demurely, "I didn't (know you liked It" I "Well, I do," 1 "Gusty . . . "Huh?" . "Do you like me?"

As if he wanted to be nice to her and was afraid to or didnt know how. "You're a pretty fair sort of kid." he said finally. "Ia that aU, Gusty?" He dropped his arm across her shoulders. "Nope, I guess not I guess I like you pretty well." His young voice was rough, a little husky. Frande gasped. For Gusty this was a daring admission. Love was for saps, he always contended. He liked Frande only because she knew good swing. "Why, Gusty." She burrowed under his arm, laid her face against his coat They sat like that a long time, without speaking. Once Francie thought she felt Gusty's lips brush lightly over her hair. She sighed. It was so per fect She hadnt dreamed that Gusty could be silent and tender. Presently he said, "I I'm act ing like a sap." "You're not. Gusty," "You know something, Frande? rm kinds in the dumps over those licks. I never knew it was so nice Just to sit with a girl and not say anything. It makes a fellow feel a lot better." "DEMORSE pressed down upon Francie. If only Gusty would act like this all the time she might even forget her career. She gazed longingly at the little gold trum pet pinned to his shirt Gusty had won it in a state-wide musical competition. It was his most be loved possession. Francie spoke softly, prying the words from her reluctant tongue: "Gusty, if I asked you now, would you give me the ticket?" He stiffened. "What for?" "Pops may drive us to Holly wood." She tugged at his sleeve. "Please, Gusty . . ." "Well, I'll be!" Gusty's laugh I shattered tha peaceful silence hor ribly. "So that's why you're so nice to me tonight?" Just for an instant the moonlight caught the hurt in his face. "Nothing doing." "But but you can't use it." "Oh, no? Maybe I will and mAVhA T Wftnl Rut It, a ln.k T wouldn't give it to you. Playing me for a snp!" Gusty wheeled the car around and sped back to town. Ha Jammed to a stop in front of Fran de's house and said gruffly, "Well, so long; see you in the movies." Francie turned a pale face to him. Her voice quivered. "You're) elfish, and I hate you!" (To B Con tinned) Starfishes have feet, consist ing of small tubes that termin ate in a sucker-like disc, on the ends of their arms.
