She has promised to “Hello, Freddy.” Sam laughed marry Peak Abbott ,young mil- nervously. “I'm splendid, thanks, licnaire, 1o relieve the family's poverty. But Freddy Munson, whcm she believes she loves, demands a showdown. Chapter 28 FREDDY RETURNS said Peak, when Sam told him she was having lunch with Freddy Munson. He dropped her hand and the grin disappearcd. “Freddy Munson,” Sam spoke hurriedly. “Don't you remember him? He—" “Of course,” said Peak in a tone that was curiously flat. “I remem- ber him perfectly.” “And you're sure you don't mind? He's just in town for the day—" “Of course not,” said Peak quiet- ly. “Of course I don't mind.” He stood there for a time after “On,” and T'm quite ready to eat.” He nodded and led the way out of the Express building, across the crowded street, and into the equal- ly crowded little restaurant on the far corner. He said nothing and Sam said nothing until they were seated and their order given. “Well.” He grinned and for the first time they were looking into each other's eyes. “Something should be said, I suppose, about water under the well-known bridge.” “I suppose s0.” Sam resisted a strong temptation to look away. “Quite a lot of it seems to have flowed, Freddy.” “How's your job?" he asked ab- ruptly. “My job?” Sam realized angrily that she was suddenly blushing. Sam was frightened now, and desperately determined. “You can’t go away like this, she said. she had driven away, his blue bath- rob> fluttering grotesquely about his long legs. Then he shivered, and turned toward the house. Sam met Freddy the next after- noon, just inside the main door of the Express building. When she first ‘caught sight of him he was leaning against the marble wall near the elevators. The collar of his light spring overcoat was turn- ed up at the back and the brim of his gray felt hat was pulled down over his eyes. He was read- ing a newspaper. Sam drew a snarp little breath, | being inevitably reminded of the | first time she had met him for lunch. The hour was the same and | s0 was the place. Freddy was the | same. He was wearing the same clothes in the same way. He might have been reading the same paper. | She found herself wondering| whether there had been any inter- | val at all. She also found that she was shaken and embarrassed. She wanted to run away. Freddy, too, was embarrassed. She | “I gave it up.” “Oh, I see.” Whatever Freddy saw must have been unpleasant for his familiar scowl appeared and re- mained. “So that’s it, is it?” “Yes.” She stirred uneasily. “You see, Freddy, I don't have to work any more. Fourth suddenly made money."” “Fourth?” He stared, incredulous. “Your step-father?” “Yes. I told you about his in- vention, didn't I?" “T don’t rememwer.” Freddy was leaning back in his chair now, but he was watching her closely. “At any rate, let's hear about it.” Sam seized the opportunty. She found that for some reason she wanted to talk on and on about Fourth and his invention. Their luncheon had arrived, and they ate it as she talked. Freddy smoked one cigarette after the other, and interrupted frequently to ask questions. He inquired all about. the circuit-breaker. He encouraged | her to tell him all about the ef- fect of this sudden wealth upon could tell that by the quick nerv- herself.

Same gave all the facts such generous consideration that the dessert plates had been carried away before the| g last word was spoken. Freddy was stirring his coffee as she finished, and Sam, glancing up, saw he was smiling quietly to himself. “And so,” he said gently, “you have all the money you need now. You don't have to worry and you don’t have to work. You can dance, and go to teas, and play bridge. It's nice, isn't it?” “Yes.” Sam managed to mnod calmly, although she could feel the rabid beating of her heart. “It’s very nice.” Freddy continued to smile. “You like it, don't you? It's quite evi- dent that you like i “Yes.” Again Sam nodded. “I've never had very much of it before, you know, Freddy. I like it.” “Of course.” He placed his coffee spoon carefully beside his cup. “You must have enjoyed yourself these last two months. You've been hav- ing a good time, haven't you, Sam?” It had come. The thing that she had known to be inevitable; the thing that she had been struggling against throughout the meal had arrived. In the face of it she felt only to look up at him and to say quietly: “I'm sorry, Freddy. I'm terribly sorry.” know everybody likes to be happy, I imagine.” His smile seemed to have become a fixture. He was smiling as he placed his napkin on the table and glanced at his watch. “Well,” he said in a friendly, con- versational tone, “it certainly has been great seeing you, Sam. T've I'm afraid I'll have to be getting along. My train leaves in twenty minutes.” Sam gasped. “Your train! —where are you going?” “To New York. After that I'm not sure.” “But Freddy!' 'Sam was bewil- dered. “You can't go like this! Why, we haven't even begun to talk!” “Havent we?” Freddy suddenly seemed like a total stranger. His polite surprise as he questioned her was that of a casual acquaintance. “I thought we'd been doing quite a bit of talking. What else is there for us to talk about?” “Everything!” Sam was fright- ened now, and desperately deter- mined. “You simply can’t go away like this! Why, don't you realize that you and I were—that we—" (Copyright, Freeman Lincoln) But Freddy explains his manner, on Monday, and asks Sam: “Can you tell me you are in love with me?” MOOSE CARD PARTY HELD LAST NIGHT “Why should you be sorry?
