Promptly at 4, Jim Vickers walked in, hat In-hand, grinning. They fra.ved goodby 'to Midge and Pietro. ' .. '. ' Jim's ear was an un-streamlined model of early thirties vintage. It seeded paint, fenders, new tires. The. running board protested as Penny stepped- in and she settled back comfortably on a squeaky seat. .. She was more tired than she would have admitted. , ',TVhat. would, you like to see first?" asked Jim. "Our imposing skyscrapers? Our beautiful parks? Oor'ilovely residences?" - : "You're the, guide,"said Penny. "CeaS on." ,'!Weu7' -Jim. said ' seriously, . "I suppose our best bet would be .a drive around.' the' steel' mills. .

Below, steaming locomotives tugged huge, bucket-shaped cars : ladsn1 with, red-hot-molten steel. Jim stopped the car when they were halfway; across'. and for a moment -they surveyed a magnifi cent panorama that stretched into the distance ;on all sides. Penny bid -never -seen, anything so breath-taking. It was as if an -. artist had painted' this scene with sweeping strokes of a - colorful brush.', ' ' ;-. ". . They' stepped out "of" the car and -leaned against -the bridge rail, absorbing the spectacle. Jim talked . of . blast furnaces, ' giant ladles, open- hearths- and Besse- . mers, explaining 'the processes of steel-making to Penny. ; i' Absorbed in his description, he .didn't .notice Penny's admiring glances. She liked his looks. She : found it pleasant to be here with him. .- "It's fascinating," Penny said, softly, when he paused for a mo ment. 'Tfou sound as if you really like this.place." . ; "I do," Jim answered. "It's hard to .explain until . you get to know the 'town , and the-people in it. They deserve a lot more out of life .than .they've '..been . getting. Steel men are a rough lot, but there isn't-a finer gang alive than ..the'.feilows who work in the Kirk r mills.'! i - ... .; . . . - , W'S-'.loo'Wd '. t Penny with- re !

But; she . failed .to mention France, and the fact that' everyone knew; of- her.-: activities because they were so often on the society pages.. . .. "My: home town is a little burg like that," Jim reminisced. "It's just a-little village, out-on the prairies, in -Kansas. -. My dad-has oeen a country lawyer out there for 0 years.. I haven't been back for a long, long time." ' "I'd like to see your home town spraev day," said Penny. "I've never been that far west." . "You'd like iti"'Jim said simply! Then he turned toward her and caught the glow in her eyes, warm and inviting. He laughed. ; "Just being with you is" fun," he said. "I don't often have such a- good listener to hear, my tales of woe; Where are you. staying, Penny? It's getting late. I'd bet ter drive you home."- ' "I'm sharing a little place with Midge Carter," Penny , said. , - "You're in ' good hands," Jim encouraged, leading Penny back . to the car. "Better step into my chariot before I do my quick change act and become the old professor again. I'll bore you with more details about the Kirk mills If you don't watch out." "Bore me?" Penny protested. "I couldn't be more interested in the '. Kirk mills if I owned them!" . She caught herself quickly, sud : denly tense. as the thought struck her that Jim must surely guess her identity now. "l wish you did own the Kirk mills," said Jim, happily unaware . df her identity. "Unfortunately, they're owned by a nincompoop named Penelope Kirk." ' Penny flushed. Unwittingly, Jim had brought her back to the reali ties of her situation. . They drove back to Kirktown in silence, both preoccupied with their own thoughts. "Jim," Penny said finally, cau tiously, "have you ever seen ire nelope Kirk?" 1 ."Yes," ha answered. "Often, years ago." "What' she like?" Penny an swered. . - i . "She's like a lot of other female wastrels who've never done an honest day's work in their lives. She's flighty, selfish, snobbish. Her Life is just one grana pari. knew her in Paris." a . . - JIM fastened bis ayes on a point PENNY COPYRIOHT. t4J. NIA (iRVICK. INC far up the road. "You might not believe It," he said, "but once I did a bit of traveling myself. Newspaper work France, and other nieces before I came to my senses and settled down. I knew Penelope Kirk In the good old days." "Would you know her now?" Penny asked, feigning innocence. "Any time," said Jim confi dently. "Her type never changes. Of course, she was just a kid when .'. saw her last. I would recognize her, though. She always looked as it she had just stepped down from a cloud. I don't think she could ever come down to earth." Penny smiled. She recognised her old self in Jim's description. She. had. certainly changed. Strangely, she was proud that Jim didn't recognize her. "How did you happen to come to Kirktown?" she asked, realizing it was time to change the subject : "That's a long story. Penny," Jim's voice was thoughtful. "I had my own weakness. Drank my way out of one good job after another abroad. ' It's hard to explain to an American. There was so much underhanded, shady, crooked stuff going on things I knew, but didn't dare write about. After a while that sort of thing does some thing to a man. "I knew what was coming. I knew a lot more than was good for anyone to know. Guess I just couldn't take it One day I put on my hat closed the apartment, started back home. Halfway across the Atlantic I threw the key away." He looked gravely into Penny's eyes, searched her face for under standing of the things he could not say. -"I just didn't 'belong there, vou see.
