JERRY HELPS OCT
CHAPTER XI
ANN turned Into the first door.
The Kit Kat Tea Room. She
gasped ai she looked at the mel
low lighted Interior and hurried
toward a booth.
"Like old times, lsnt It. Janet,
having afternoon cocktails here
together."
Ken's voice.
A wry little smile twisted Itself
about Ann's mouth, and she swal
lowed a lump in her throat. Sally
had been right. Ken was with
Janet Had he been coming every
day?. Had he been dining with
her every night, when he told
Ann he was working?
"Where are we going to dinner
tonight, Janet? Coon's orchestra
Is playing at the Strathmore. We
could dance together to the grand
est music In the world. We used
to have grand times together at
the Strathmore."
"Before you became engaged to
little, ladylike Ann. Don't forget,
Ken, you are engaged."
"But not married, Janet, and
there's many a slip We can still
dance together and dine together
and no one can stop us."
Other words came to Ann, but
they did not register on her
tunned brain. She watched them
leave the tearoom so interested
In each other they did not notice
her.
"He's double-crossing you, tell
ing you he has to work at night
when he's dining and driving with
Janet"
That was what Sally had said.
Sally had been right A thousand
things were leaping up to taunt
her Ken's scorn of her dancing,
His wanting her to pretend to be
something she wasn't his arro
gance, and now his unfaithfulness.
But suddenly she knew that it
' did not matter, because all at once,
tor no reason that she could un
derstand, she did not care. She
' no longer wanted to be the lady
the sedate person he wanted her
to be. She no longer wanted to
fit into that background of aris
tocracy which meant so much to
him. She wanted to dance. And
more than anything else she
wanted Jerry Lane with his sin
cerity and honesty.
She had called Jerry crude, but
now she knew that real, rough
Kjuality In him was what she
(loved. There was no veneer about
(Jerry. He was jfist what he was

f breathlessly, shining eyed.
She wanted to dance with him
(again to Jim Coon's orchestra. He
had told her that when she called
him he would come no matter
when. She'd find out from Jim
Coon If he was still in New York.,
She couldn't get to the telephone
nan enough.
At last . . . "Jerry." Her voice
was high and shrill as she flung
the words over the telephone to
him. "Jerry, this is Lita. The
veneer has cracked Just as you

He told me where to find you.
(And I want you to come to me

"You've got to come. Get a

"You cant! But, Jerry ... I
"Oh! You've got your call!

Oh ... I forgot."
TN the car beside him, speeding
back toward town, she told him
about Ken. "And so," she finished
mockingly, "they're going to the
Strathmore tonight to dance for
old times' lake, and I knew I had
to go, too, and dance for old
times' sake.. Jerry, you don't think
I'm crazy, do you?"
U Wo." jerry smiled a little. He
med .older,, strange. "You're
I acting Just asI would expect you
to outraged pride and all that
I and , it's fortunate that I could
come along and help you put your
jshow over.
; "I dont suppose that Ken and
Janet care any more about each
other than you and I do. There's
i always a time, you know, when
you think you're crazy about
someone, but you recover even
tually. "I dont think I realized until
afterward that It was for the best
our calling it quits. You never
do at the time, and our little show
tonight will probably make Ken
realize."
"But I dont want him to real
ire." She wanted to shout the
words at him, but she didn't "I
don't care what he thinks. It's you
I really care about and our mar
riage wasn't a mistake." She held
the wheel until she felt as it she
must twist it off, staring ahead
at the dark, misty night thank
ful that he couldn't see her face.
Jerry didn't care. He was talk
ing as impersonally as if she were
someone he barely knew. He had
gotten over caring about her. She
wanted to cry, but she mustn't.
She'd have to go on pretending
now. She couldn't humiliate her
self before Jerry and let him know
how much he meant to her when
she meant nothing to him.
"I didn't know love could hurt
you like this, Jerry." She spoke
shakily. "I thought love made you
gay and happy." He must think
she cared about Ken. What a fool
she had been to throw over some
one as worthwhile as Jerry for
someone as shallow as Ken.
"It does, darling." His voice
was carelessly gay in the dark
ness. "Love has dancing feet and
it does make you gay and happy,
and it is only when we're mis
taken that it makes you sad.
"After all you aren't really mis
taken In Ken, perhaps. But don't I
uujc atxmt u. Think only about
tonight . , . and us, dancing to
gether. You know you'll have to
put on an act . . . laugh and act
as If you're enjoying yourself, or
Ken will know how jealous you
rcauy are.

OUR BOARDING HOUSE, with Major Hoopla

DENVER, (P) Two squads of
police, encouraged by passcrsby,
rushed to the hotel roof demand

S i m p le m a n, 24, interrupted
while hanging out a wash.
Then he remembered he had
peered over the hotel cornice af
ter a handkerchief that had
blown from his unwashwoman

that caused all the excitement.
