If she knew where Giles gone, she would know where was. | Dennison, the butler, unexpectedly | ied her with the information wanted. “Do you know where Mr. Benton!

She went‘on into the library, to re 4 Bob Dawes, still puzzling about Giles Benton. Hillcrest was.a-resort. town for 'wealthy. tour: Its golf course was quite possible that Giles had gone there to play. If, on the other hand, he had gone to see Marty, she must be a woman of wealth. No one who stayed at Hillcrest could be other “F don't fancy spending the vening lon’t fancy spending the et in this morgue,” Bob Dawes gree! her. “What about going out and find- ing some place to dance later?” “Good,” said Sally. “What about Hillcrest?” “Anything you say,” agreed Bob. “They've got a swell orchestra at the Gray inn this week.” Sally was amazed by her own daring. If she and Bob Dawes went to the Gray inn, they could scarcely fail to see Giles Benton if he were there. All the visitors at Hillcrest gathered in the ball room of the Gray inn to dance in the evenings. “There's, Benton? d ies detour)té.Hillcrest was little more than a country lane that ran between cultivated fields and lonely tracks of scrub pine. There were few farm houses along the 40-mile stretch and not a single filling sta- tion. Thick yellow clouds of dust were stirred up by the car, so that Sally and Bob were obliged to close the car windows. They passed only one person on the road, a single motorcyclist who looked grotesque as the car lights showed him in helmet and goggles. Hillcrest was gay with colored lights and music. A number of little tables had been placed on the terrace, European style, and Bob and Sally paused at one of them for a cool drink before they went in to dance. “It was pretty swell of you to come out with me, Sally,” said Bob grate- fully. “1 don’t mind telling you J was feeling pretty low.” Sally felt suddenly guilty to think that she had brought Bob to Hillcrest in the hope of seeing Giles Benton, but she could comfort herself with the knowledge that Bob seemed to like it. “Don’t be so nice to Mary,” Sally advised. “She takes you too much for granted because you never cross her or talk back to her. Mary thrives on indifference.” “Not from me,” sighed Bob. “She doesn’t care whether I’m indifferent ‘ar not. In fact, 1 think she'd rather like it if 1 stayed away and left her alone entirely.” “Don’t you believe that,” said Sally comfortingly. “She’d miss you. She likes going places with you better than she does going with anyone else.” Sally felt justified in giving Bob this small comfort. -he knew that it was true, although Mary would never admit it. Sally forgot Bob as she searched the small tables in her neigh- borhood for a sight of Giles Benton. “Looks like she wants to be with me,” Bob grumbled. “She made that engagement for dinner tonight with Philip Page after 1 got to town.” “Philip Page?” Sally’s mind came back to what Bob was saying. “Sure. That's who she’s with. She’s fallen for him.” “Let’s go and dance,” said Sally. There was no reason why Philip should not have dinner with Mary, but Sally was not pleased to hear about it. Surely Philip would not stoop to extracting information from Mary by taking her to dinner. The only other explanation for his taking her was one Sally did not somehow like to believe—that Philip wanted to take her to dinner. “1 don’t suppose you'll evér come out with me again,” said Bob con- tritely. “I’m such good company. Griping about my own affairs all the time.” “That’s all right,” said Sally, feel- ing that they were pretty even, since she was not giving much thought te Bob’s affairs. It was Bob, after all, who first saw Giles Benton. He and Sally were dancing near a door which opened on a small balcony overlooking the lake. “Hello! There's our friend Benton,” | said Bob. “Where?” Sally demanded eagerly. “On the balcony—with a lady. I didn’t know he knew anyone down here—that is, outside of Warrenton.” Sally peered over Bob's shoulder, but the angle of the wall cut off her view of the couple on the balcony. She did not like to ask Bob to stroll on the balcony with her. He would think it strange, and besides she knew he disliked Benton for some unex- plained reason. To her surprise, Giles Benton him- self sought them out as they were leaving the ball room for the terrace. (Copyright, 1986.

Sears, how that the Naval Appropria- tion bill introduced by the con- jgressman and which was passed, included an item of $25,000 for extensive’ repairs to the marine railway at the Naval Station in Key West. The appropriation for the marine railway means much for Key West, inasmuch as many | larger vessels will be taken out on by the additional equipment, and will also mean that additional employes will be necessary when the changes have been made and the additional capacity has been added tq the dock.
