THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 28, 1931 BY FREEMAN SYNGPSIS: Loved by two mca, Sam Shorrill refuses Fred- | dy Muncon, whom she loves, and accepts Peak Abbott, pop- | ular young millicnaire, because | ¢f her family's nced for money. | Hcr stcpfather, rth Alder- | ¢»a, suddenly becomes wealthy | threugh the mys us cal> of a worthless invention, and Sam turns from work to play.

Well, 1 have come to care more about you—a lot more.” He did not move. “But you can't say that you love me? Is that it? She was silent. “You kissed me, Sam,” he re-| minded her gently. “It wasn't just an ordinary kiss. It meant some-| thing. What did it mean?” “I—I don't know.” Don’t you want to love me, o “Yes, I want to love you. I want to love you—terribly!

Come on here. It's cold.” They went out into the wind. The moon had disappeared, and with it the pleasant little valley. As Peak had said, it was cold. On the way home, and Sam had insisted that they go home imme- diately, there was silence. Both were busy with thoughts that were anything but pleasant Peak, puffing savagely at a ciga- rette, surveyed the ruin of his care- fully laid plan: one unaccount- | able moment d destroyed all the framework confidence he any of had built so carefully. No more would Sam regard him as an undemanding friend and companion. No longer would shel be at ease and off guard in his presence. He had slammed the little cide| door by which he had hoped to| find a way to her heart. He won- dered whether there were any other such doors or whether Freddy Mun- son had locked them all. He won- dered what Sam was thinking oII him at the moment. | As a matter of fact, Sam was not thinking of him at all, although a phrase he had spoken was drum- ming in her brain. “Is there some- body else?” Peak had asked. “There 1 GOT SOME PUTTY IMPORTANT NEW DOPE ON POLLY'S .

There had been pe- riods of days, she told herself re- morselessly, when she had not thought of Freddy at all. Even now it was difficult to bring to mind a clear cut vision of his face. ‘The more she tnhought of the matter the more clear became the fact of her shallowness and her treachery. She had half forgotten when she should have remembered. She had been happy when she should have been miserable. As a sort of crowning touch she had kissed Peak Abbott that very night She had not kissed him, as Peak | himself has suggested, through any sense of duty, but simply because she had responded to a very defi- nite urge. ‘What did that kiss mean?
