It was social headquarters for the town. Mornings the clan of socially prominent young women met for a soda and a knitting bee. Afternoons they played bridge. Evenings after the movies the place hummed with | activity as crowds surged in for a | |into pleasant chanfels, a part of his almost impessible for him to keep his eyes off the little nursemaid. He saw, too, that every one in the drug store was watching her. It was no secret to him that his wife had made up her mind Jim Carter was going to marry Nancy Sue Jennings. She was one of the wealthiest tobacco heiresses in the State of Virginia, and a reigning beauty. Dick had to admit they made a stunning couple. The tall, willowy sleek-haired Southern belle had cheeks like a wild rose and great soft brown. eyes that sparkled in- vitingly under long, swooping lashes. Her face was etched like a cameo. Jim Carter looked like a viking hero beside her. The handsome cadet foot ball captain had yellow hair that no military hair cut could quite rule, and honest gay blue eyes that danced in his strong bronzed face. He was one of the best catches any- where, his brother believed. Cart wondered, a little restlessly, who the big sandy-haired, well-dressed man with the brown suit and moss green tie could be. He made up his mind to find out. In spite of the fact that the conversation had turned mind tried to catch the drift of the talk at Sugar’s table. She looked like a little girl at her first party with her yellow-brown eyes | sparkling with interest, and her full, red mouth opened in amazement at | the tales Scoop told her. The more he | drink and visit before going to bed. It was the only after-theater place in | the town, except two cheap lunch rooms, where the better people would not be seen. Sugar had no more than settled herself before she was aware that conversation had ceased at two tables next to theirs. For a second she felt panicky enough to run. It was Mr. and Mrs. Le Masters, Cart and a beautiful black-haired young woman with several other peo- ple she did not recognize. Sugar re- membered that she had Zanie Lou's dress and hat on and her face flamed. Scoop noticed her confusion and leaned over to say under his breath: “Keep your chin up, Lollypop. Everybody is staring at you because youre the most beautiful girl here.” “It's Mrs. Le Masters.” she managed | to make him understand. “I'm scared to death.” “I'm disappointed in you,” Scoop told her severely, then began making an effort to take her mind off her predicament. Soon she was leaning forward, listening wide-eyed while he told her of his adventures as a news- paper man in New York. “Who is the pretty red-head?” Mrs. | Le Masters turned to Cart, who was watching Sugar with an interest no one could miss. | Cart grinned broadly. “You don't recognize her?” “I've never seen her before in my life. Nor the good-looking man with her. Are they visiting here?” Dick Le Masters shook with mirth. “That's a hot one!” Cart exploded. “If you'd drop in on your son once in awhile you might recognize her. | She’s Skeeter’s nurse.” Jane Lee stiffened in her chair. “You—can't be serious.” Nancy Sue Jennings put her hand on Cart's arm. “Don’t tell me you know her, Jim | Carter.” “We're bosom pals,” Cart replied | dryly, then turned his eyes to Sugar again. “Gad, if she isn't the most | gorgeous creature these old eyes have set on in many a day! I'd never seen | her dressed like a human being be- | since I saw her last. thought of Jane Lee's callousness to | | the girl the more determined he was | |to show his friendship. He enjoyed | |defying his sister-in-law sometimes. | She seemed so cold. | “I'm out of cigarettes.” Jim Carter | excused himself and got up. | Nancy Sue looked surprised. Jane | Lee watched him covertly as he went over to the counter and picked up | two packages. Why hadn't he asked | | the waitress to bring them? 1In a few | | seconds she understood. | Jim Carter, on the way back. sud- | | denly tripped over a chair and bumped the table where Scoop and Sugar sat. “I beg your pardom,” he apologized | | absent mindedly, then pretended to| | see Sugar for the first time. “Why, | | good evening. Miss Friddle.” He gave | her a friendly smile. “I hardly recog- nized you.” Sugar wet her lips nervously. “How do you do, Mr. Le Masters.” You could have heard a pin drop | in the Le Masters party. Just what | did & nursemaid do in a case like that Sugar wondered. But she decided quickly. “Mr. Le Masters, this is Mr. O'Reilly from New York,” she said breathless- ly, wondering what she would do i(‘ they found out Scoop was a stranger she had picked up. “Howdy,"” Cart held out his hand. They shook hands and Scoop de- | cided a little fib might not be out of THE EVENING STAR, bowed and smiled again as he passed the table where Scoop and Sugar sat. Sugar sighed with relief when the door closed behind them. “T'll bet I'll catch it in the morn- ing,” she shook her head dubiously, “if Mrs. Le Masters recognized Zanie Lou’. dress and hat. I'll have to get hold of Zanie in the morning and tell her not to give me away about meeting you this afternoon.” “Maybe I shouldnt have told 2 white one,” Scoop shrugged. “But i didn’t want you to have to answer | any embarrassing questions. Say, that young gentleman seems to be a little WASHINGTON, “Silly!” Sugar laughed it off, “He just feels sorry for me.” She told him the story of Jim Carter’s rescuing her from the ratty cellar and Scoop listened with amuse- ment. “It reads like a story book—your life, Lollypop. Maybe I'll write it. The world neyer tires of a Cinderella yarn. Even if the highbrows don’t consider it brain fodder.” “Wouldn't it be thrilling,” Sugag wiggled excitedly, “to have a famous man like you write a book about me?” D. C, “Famous, grandfather's wooden leg!” Scoop grinned. “But your story has just started, Lollypop, my child. Uncle O'Relly is going to keep an eye on you and see what the ending is. It you married the handsome yeller- haired knight and lived happy on vel- vet forever after, that would be a story.” Sugar laughed gleefully. “Imagine him marrying me! Those things just happen in books, Scoop. I think it would be a better story if I married a boy from the orphanage and he became a famous artist or something, don't you?” MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1935. “That wouldn't be so bad. But you must find out who you are and where you came from, and be reunited with your parents. Maybe you're a count- ess” Sugar sighed wistfully. “I'l never find out after all this time. Seven- teen years ago today Dr. Slump found me in a basket on the doorstep. That's a long time.” “It doesn't matter.” Scoop reached out and took her hand. “Sometimes we're better off when we dont know those things. You're only 17, honey, and you've got all your life before you. You're charming and pretty, and have the education and the good breeding to hold your own in any crowd. That's a wonderful start. You can go anywhere from here, if you keep your chin up and be a good girl.” Sugar felt like throwing herself into Scoop's arms and weeping when she told him good-by in front of the house. He kissed her cheek and prom- ised to write a letter the next day. It was like saying good-by forever to some one she'd always krown. Stumblingly, she hurried along tne sidewalk to the kitchen door. Eurasia had promised to leave it unlocked. As she took hold of the knob she heard B—-5 her name called softly. Sugar turned and was surprised to see Cart on the bench by the lily pond. “Sit a little while,” he whispered, and her heart raced rapidly. “This moon is too good to miss.” “Oh, I mustn't. It's almost mid- nigh “Please,” he begged, “I want to talk with you.” (To Be Continued.) New Rail Engires. Railways of India have ordered 29 German superheated steam engines.

I'm sure | Zanie felt sorry for her and loaned or gave them to her.” Nancy Sue gave a rippling musical | laugh. “I never heard of such a thing— | lending clothes to a servant! Surely, Zanie Lou wouldn’t do that.” “You'd be surprised.” Cart lit a cigarette. “Zanie Lou's not a bit snobbish. She's quite human.” The others at the tables listened with delight to the three-cornered squabble between Jane Lee, Nancy Bue and Cart. Finally Nancy Sue gave in with a pretty little shake of her aristocratic head. “Let’s not talk any more about it. One would think she was important.” “Maybe she is—to some people,” Cart smiled at her maddeningly. Jane Lee kicked his foot under the table. Cart realized he wasn't being | very polite and changed the subject. | Dick Le Masters watched his brov.her‘ with amusement and saw that it was | “The Rhumba” By Palter de Liso brown suede with swirling bands of pat- ent.
