Mary Lou had cousins in the city; he had urged her to visit them. He would take her to Lon- | don’s best theatres ,\London's lead- ing dances. He stared moodily at the station | ceiling, disgusted with the whole situation. “Hello, Brynmor, were you ex- pecting me to drop from the cell-' ing?” He turned, startled. “Jove, Mary Lou!” There she was, smiling uncer- tainly, flushed with embarrassment. Absent-mindedly, he had forgotten to scan the passengers as they[ stepped from the train. “Had a nice trip?” Brynmor reached for her dingy satchel. “Fine.” There was an uncomfortable AN |plain things. Clarice danced at the “Emerald Dragon,” newest and smartest of the night clubs in Soho. Brynmor went every night to watch her and to take her home. He knew little |or nothing of Clarice’s past, but | her clever indifference had intrigu- |ed him. Brynmor found her curled up on |a divan. Her room, richly fur- |nished, was a symbol of the luxury :chat Clarice loved. | “I suppose I must look after | her,” Brynmor said, as he finished the story of Mary Lou’s arrival. “Are you sure,” Clarice remarked, “that you're not the least bit keen |on this Mary Lou?” | “Nonsense, Clarice! How can you say that?” Erynmor exploded. “You know . . . She looked at him with those | slanting, half-closed eyes. “What girl ever knows? ‘This girl thought she knew, too.

Where did she get that antiquated coat?” The coat wasn't London. It pro- claimed to the world its provincial origin.

I've been forward to it.” “I suppose your cousins will ex- pect you to spend the night with them,” he hazarded as they drove so looking toward Chelsea. “Too much to hope | for any of your time this first night." “W-why, I-I wrote and explained I was coming mainly to see you,” Mary Lou faltered. Mary Lou’s cousin, Jay, lived in Chelsea. She had married Jerry Jerome, who worked on a morning newspaper. Jay, who kept a small, exclusive gown shop, made more money than Jerry did. Neither Jay nor Jerry was home | when Brynmor and Mary Lou ar- rived, but Jay left a note explain- ing that both of them were working | late that night. She apparently had | assumed that Mary Lou would go out with Brynmor. “I'll dash off and pick up a cou- ple of seats for a theatre,” Bryn-| mor said. “Be back for you in an hour. Is that o, k.?” “Wonderful!” Mary Lou exclaim- ed, and Brynmor was gone so! quickly that she was left bewildered. ! “We're strange to each other,” she mused. “But I'm sure it will be different when we've seen more! of each other.” Yet she couldn't deny there was! a difference between Brynmor and her summer hefo. He hadn't kissed her, hadn’t even called her pet names as he used to do—last sum- mer. “I wonder—" she began. Then she shook her head stubbornly.' “Nothing can possibly be wrong— not when T've counted so much on these two weeks in town.” Meanwhile Brynmor had has- tened to Clarice’s flat.

I'd| like to see her,” Clarice murmured. “Why should I be jealous?” “You shouldn’t,” Brynmor joined. “I will bring her.” She sprang to her feet. “Let's mix some cocktails and dance. I have some new records.” “Oh, gosh,” Brynmor groaned.| 1“I ought to fetch that girl.” “Dance,” Clarice insisted. She jclasped a bare arm about his neck. | Brynmor danced.

He wondered how he could endure two weeks of it; she was on the verge of tears. Her spirits revived somewhat when Brynmor proposed that they { dance after the show BRINGING UP FATHER WL OONT BREANK A LEG VT WON'T BE THID YACHT'S FALLT - By CEORGE McMANUS AN THEY CALL THIS A PLEASURE “but I'd like to dance with you.” ler drink.” f\ — Dragon,” he said. who dances there . . . ” The tone of his remark was not sufficiently casual, and Mary Lou | . |began to suspect.

Bryn- | mor abruptly excused himself. “Must nave a word with her,” he sald hastily. “I'll be back in a jif-! fy.” But half an hour passed nnd‘ he did nov return. It might have ended there. Mary Lou might have gone back to Frin- wood, a sadder and wiser girl—but for Antony Oswald Hitherington, Tony for short. Promptly at midnight Tony and Reggie Addison sauntered joyfully into the Emerald Dragon. “I hear this band playing half the night,” Tony remarked. “My flat's in the next building. We might drop in there later for anoth- “Righto,” countered Reggie. “Will you gentlemen be taking champaghe?” a waiter inquired as they sat down at a side table. “S-sure, b-buckets of it,” Tony gesticulated. Tony and Reggie glanced about. ' They saw thousands of lights, hun- dreds of balloons. Suddenly Tonys] eyes fell on a blonde girl sitting | | opposite them—alone.

Then the dance ended and the hall was flooded with light. “I think,” said Reggie, “we've; made a mistake.” They blinked across at the girl.

More than once he| /had risked his life for a shilling. He rose to his feet and staggered slowly to the table where Mary Lou sat. “P-please don’t think me imperti- nent, but I'd like to dance with you,” Tony ventured. Mary Lou, mortified because Brynmor had left her, could only feel grateful that at least one man| wished to dance with her. Here she thought, was one way to get even with Brynmor. When he came back, she could say, “Have you been long? I've been dancing with this gentleman. He’s ever so nice. “I'd be glad to,” she told the surprised Tony. Jumping to her feet, she gave herself into his arms (Copyright, 1930, Maysie Greig) Tomorrow Mary Lou learns at least one reason for Brynmor’s change of heart toward her.
