Trancis: "They make a nice mar tini in here. Okay?" Francie wanted to refuse, but , ahe couldn't find words. Her head waa still spinning from the sud' denness of his Invitation. Under the table she found a pin and "" prodded herself. It was no dream. She was actually sitting in the Tan Hat restaurant lunching with Jerry Finney I The cocktails arrived, palt and icy. Jerry lifted his drink, gold flecked eyes bold as they met Trancle'a. "Here's to your suc cess." - Francis raised her glass, cau tiously touching the liquor with the tip of her tongue. It burned like lye. She pretended to drink. then quickly set down the cock' tall. "But I told you I couldnt be on - the program," she protested weakly. "I'm going to give my ticket to Gusty." "The home-town boy?" Jerry snorted. "Doni be silly, Francie. That lad's only trying to hog all the good angles. Come on, drink up. "N-no, thanks," Francie quav- . sred. "It's very nice, but I Jerry said in confidential tones: . "You know, Francie, you've got something. I don't usually risk taking strange girls to lunch, but you're different The minute I laid eyes on you I said to myself, There's the loveliest girl in the world'." ' "Oh, Mr. Finney ..." '.' "Mister Finney!" Jerry mocked. . "well . . . Jerry then." "We're going to see a lot of each . ether, Francie. ' Francie said shyly, "Oh, Jerry, I, well, iff like a dream being here ; with you. It it all happened : quickly I can hardly realize it' Jerry accepted this adulation , with modest gesture that said all . women reu pretty much that way - about finney. Francie put .ood In her mouth, chewed and swallowed; tasted nothing. Presently Jerry looked at nts watch and apologized: "I'm terribly sorry, Francie, but I have an appointment I'll run you back to the hotel." Jerry's scarlet roadster glittered - with chromium. On either door .. was a gold crest with J. F. in big raisedlettera. When they stopped ' Jor a - traffic signal, everyone . turned to look. Engulfed in the (leather bucket seat, Francie felt like a queen. She threw her head back and laughed into the sunny, blue ucy. iMa She was drinking deeply from an overflowing gob- ret. T cant stop," Jerry said con temptuously as they swept up to the hotel, "or the yokels!! be warming for autographs. Like to do the Miracle Mile tonight?" Francie had heard enough about xna Miracle mm to know it re quired an evening dress. "Can't we Just get acquainted?" "About 8. then." he said. "About 9," Francie whispered, ecsiaucauy. Aunt Hat bubbled over at Francie's miraculous conquest wonn wesion accepted the news oouriy. "This Finney may be all right, Ibut I'd like to know more about jam. -Oh, Popsl" Francie danced aooui ine room, cheeks aflame. -nes gorgeous and a perfect enu-man. Ana and Just think. Pops, with aU the girls in Holly wood mad about him, he picked "Hmm, I dont know what to say, Francie." Aunt Hat cut in sharply, "John Weston, are you going to deprive the child of" "I'U decide this, Hat. You may go, Francie, but be back by 11." a sweet little package, Francie, I'll be around." TJELENTLISS pressure applied to Mr. Weston all next day changed the curfew hour to mid night Aunt Hat, insisting that she would need it for the broad cast anyway, bought Francie a new formal. She danced that night under soft lights. She saw several famous personages of the screen. She had her favorite num ber played by a noted orchestra leader. She returned to the hotel giddy with the glamor of it all and posi tive that Jerry Finney was in love with her. FJspeth City and Gutty were in the far distant past The following day Jerry was having a program conference with Koon. He asked Francie to meet him in the morning at the office. As she emerged, clinging to Jer ry's arm, she heard a familiar voice arguing with the reception ist: "Now. look. I'm a friend of Mr. Koon. Here. Ill show you the ticket he gave me." francie dug her flngera into Jer ry's arm. She aaw a shabby boy standing by the gate. His clothing was wrinkled and dirty, his hair windblown. He was fumbling for his wallet "Gusty," Francie whispered, but he nadn t seen her. "Never mind that sonny." the receptionist said, "Mr. Koon wouldn't see you if you had passport to paradise!" - As Gusty put the wallet back. Francie took a step toward him. Jerry Finney laughed. He said. "t don't see why they let bums up here." Francie stopped in her tracks. It she spoke to Gusty now, what would Jerry think of hir? Gusty did look like a bum. Oh, what should she do? She couldnt make a fool o( herself before smooth. nanosome Jerry. She Just could' nil Gusty had turned now and waa staring at her, open-mouthed. Francie said brokenly, "I I dont see why they let such per sons up either," and she walked by Gusty, averting her head. (To Be Continued) BETHANY, Mo. P) Rural letter carrier L. A.

"We might have a drink and a dance at one of the smaller spots," Jerry observed with a doubtful (lanes at Francie's dress. Francie thought up a quick lie. "I I'd rather wait till my trunk arrives, Jerry. It has all my eve ning clothes in it." He yawned. "I'm fed up on that stuff anyway. I'd rather make love to you, Francie." Jerry parked by the ocean, spangled with moonlight, and put his arms around Franck. He was not awkward and shy like Gusty. He held her tight and kissed her until she was breathless.
