Her father had committed | & serious crime. a crime that was doubly vicious because it was di- rected against a client of his. He had violated the trust that Mike ! Mulvaney had put in him and violated it to the almost complete fimancial destruction of Mike. “You're sweet, Johnny,” she said, dropping her eyes and putting her | hands on his as they still gripped her shoulders.

Then maybe some day I'll be able to come to you SR “Don't say that, Johnny. Don't talk like that now. I have feelings, too, and I remember that day on the train just as well as you do— the way I pretended you bored me.” She retrieved the packet from the | floor where it had dropped without either of them knowing it. “Put this in your pocket and we'll 8o back to the club.” Johnny hesitated a moment, eye- ing the packet, bat at last he shoved it into the inside pocket of his coat. | He took her arm and they weniy/ out and got-into the car.

A look passed between them that was full of terror strangely out of keeping in that room of music and laughter and gayety. No Wasted Time. Sheila saw the look and she smiled grimly. With the back of her hand she rapped the bulge in Johnny's coat pocket. Owen’s eyes followed the movement; stricken eyes, bulging with fear. E Mulvaney is back on top,” Sheila said. “where he belongs. He'd have found out soon enough any- wav, if I know Johnny, but this way it works out better all around.” She looked up at Johnny and squeezed his hand. “Johnny comes first with me.” she said, paraphrasing what he had said to her a little while before “and vou'd better shake his hand.” Owen Morgan got clumsily to his feet and lifted his hand to Johnny as if it were a leaden weight Johnny gripped it quickly and let 80. “You—you stole vour father's private papers,”” Owen said to his KEEBLER PRESENTS® and | nothing that has happened since | ‘and Sheila entered - the | borrowed them.” She looked up at Johnny and he pulled the packet from his pocket and dropped it on the table. “Sheila,” Johnny said when they were out in the car again, waiting for Patty and Freddie, and hoping they wouldn’t come very soon, “let's forget about Mulvaney Machines and let our fathers work it out between them. We have other things to talk about.” “Owen will be over to see Mike in the morning.” Sheila said. “What else have we to talk about?” She felt his arm around her shoulder and she moved over closer, smiling in the darkness. “Well, I have an opportunity to take a swell position with the Grayson Laboratories down East within the next six weeks or so, | and I thought that—wel—." “That maybe after a couple of | years you might get married?” Sheila suggested. “No, I thought that maybe before T left —" “You mean like maybe tonight, | Johnny?” “Tonight?” Even in the darkness | \ Sheila could see his eyes widen and | she laughed. 1 “I hate to think of facing dad | and mother,” she said resignedly.
