He hod run niter her that afternoon, but she had disappeared when he reached the corner. He had had a wild desire to ring all the doorbells on Cottage street, and dared not leave his shop for lear she would come in during the minute he was gone. "She's certainly got me," he de cided, when a customer asked for r map of Cape Cod and he sol emnly presented her with a book on the theater. He found himself sitting on the wharf, looking out to sea, imagining conversations between himself and the girl. When he went to the Theater: nd asked for Earl, whom he knew slightly, a suspicious doorman told him that everyone knew Mr. Earl never came down until the week before a show. "Have you a beautiful girl, one of the apprentices, who wears a pink linen dress and white; huaraches?" I "We've 60 apprentices tills sea-j son, JVlister. How do you expect me to keep up with their arches?" In spite of his embarrassment, Johnny had to laugh. Was he to be just another of those guys who hang around stage doors all sea-; con? I But he had to see the girl again. He had to tell her of this anguish he felt, to explain his love for her. And he had always laughed at his fellow students who told him that love struck like lightning. AND then It began to rain. Northeast winds hit the Cape and a gray blanket of wetness was spread dismally over the village. Summer people wired home for heavy underwear while natives donned oilskins and made their lobster boats firm in the bay. Johnny sat in his shop and brooded. No customers would come to Capetown in weather like this. He had lost the only girl he could ever love. Wind seeped through the cracks of his room, and the oil stove threw out as much heat as a candle. On the 13th afternoon of the rain, Johnny went to the Blue Whale for a bowl of chowder and crackers. His spirits rose as he approached the cafe. Its windows steamed and lights shone out. At least it looked cheerful. As he opened the door he heard the phonograph blaring gaily. "That's the last one, kiddies. No more money in the bank and. no more music unless Molly snares -another lobstennan." Johnny slammed the door after him as he came into the restau-' rant "Shush," the voice continued.' "Somebody came in. Peek, out,' gal, and see what you can do." : Johnny saw a girl's head edge slowly and slyly from around the ' corner of the booth. Her face was small and pixy-like, a sweet peas ant in a bandana, but her eyes were the same. Johnny recognized her. That determined mouth could only belong to a girl who wore a pink linen dress and white huaraches! As far as he was concerned, there was no one else in the Blue Whale. He ran toward her, shout ing, "I've found you at last," and the crowd of apprentices in the booth gasped, "Well, old home week." "I know him, gang," she ex plained to the other girls. "But he's not a lobsterman. He's John-. ny Regan, summer folks from way ! back. He runs the 'Fisherman's Fair'." ' "Let's dance," Johnny told her, since that was the simplest way' to hold a girl in your arms. ! "We can't," she told him. "No more nickels for the phonograph's appetite. What do you people do in this hole when it rains for 40 ' days and nights?" Johnny dug into his pocket for . a nickel, selected a waltz. He trembled as he held her to him, gently and lightly, as if this, too, were a part of the nightmare of losing her. They danced, but Johnny hardly knew they were dancing. "I thought I was taking cold," Johnny said, Irrelevantly, when he could trust himself to speak, "but I flipped a coin. This isn't a cold; it's love." HHEY danced to the door and " there was the 6un. peeking over a cloud-bank which blushed prettily. Johnny stopped their waltz and stood with his arm still around the girl's waist, wondering how he could continue this casual conversation when his heart was pounding like an anvil chorus. "Before you disappear again, tell me your name. You've no idea how barklng-up-tho-wrong-tree it is to 'cherohez la femme' when all you know about her is that she owns a pink' linen dress and white huaraches." "And has been wearing a fur coat for two weeks. Why didn't you have the Town Crlcr page mo?" "Never thought of it. Name, please? Address? Occupation? Married? I'm a census taker: be honest or I'll tell Uncle Sam!" 1 1 She held up her right hand and : swore to tell the truth and nothing else. "Molly Travers, spinster, poten tial actress, temporary address TiumberV.3 Cottage street. Inten- j Hons. honorable," she. added. , THEATER copyright, imo, NBA CKNVtCK. INC. "Thanks, lady," Johnny said. He made a pretense of writing it all down. He needn't have the information was scared in his con sciousness permanently. "Golly, that sun really means business. How about a date this evening? Have a little sunset, it'll be won derful." "I'd rather have a bowl of clam chowder," she told him. "At the time, I respected the phonograph's appetite instead of my own, zud now . . ." He led her to a booth, "Nectar and ambrosia for one blond god dess," he told the waitress, won dering if she understood he was speaking the truth. WHILE they waited for the chowder, he reminded her, "I'm serious about that sunset. Tonight we're offering as a spe cial inducement, two lobster salad sandwiches and a couple of bi cycles." Molly took out her compact and applied lipstick to a mouth already luscious as a cherry. "Sorry, chum, but I have a date. Look, food's here." Johnny drew diagrams on the tablecloth with his fork. Without looking up he said, "About that patrons' list . . ." He looked at her. The spoonful of chowder halted on its way to her mouth, and she frowned. "That is important. The garden party Mrs. Carstairs planned canceled on account of rain. The weather has ruined everything. Mr. Earl's postponed the opening no box office."

Molly blew Indelicately upon her spoonful of chowder. "You win, smarty. I couldn't miss such a bargain." When they had finished their chowder, Johnny walked with her down Cuttafic street. "See you Bt 7, and don't dress. We may go barefooted." Molly raised her eyebrows. "But those people for the patrons' list?" Johnny shrucced. "Trust my j judgment, lass. This is the Cape." He walked back down the street, hands in bush-coat pocket. He was whistling happily. In two hours and 40 minutes, he had a date with a goddess. He was almost swaggering when he turned the corner. He stopped short. A yellow roadster stood in front of his shop. Two wheels were on the curb. Only Jean Reynolds, ears dulled to the yowls of Capetown's popu lace, dared park a car like that on State street.
