He seemed to have epics his sick pony. Before the of the evening Jocelyn felt as if Tally and Geoff were playing on ite teams in a football game and she was the football. Still, she ‘would not have been feminine or ite human if she had not enjoyed just a little. She did. At one o'clock the orchestra de- elared a half-hour’s intermission for supper. Lights went on in the fuet room and the dancers spilled in. It was a gay and hilari- ous throng of young people. Bright Fepattes and quick laughter ightened the excitement. Someone called to Jocelyn: “Where's that Texan boy friend of yours, darling?” Another called to Geoff: “Better mai her quick, old man. I’ve Beard these Lone Star men are fast on the draw!” Jocelyn, herself, wondered at Tally’s non-appearance at supper. to look into the now de- serted ballroom she saw Thorn hurrying across the floor, his face pale and worried. ” he whispered on reach- ing her, “come with me. There’s trouble outside.” By the time they reached the Tam ling veranda a knot of people hatt-gathered on the steps. The fooonlig ht illuminated the scene with almost daylight clearness. pushed through the assem- b just in time to see Tally’s fist*clip another man’s chin and knock him down. She ran forward; Tecognized the fallen man as ‘Art Mason, one of the club directors ‘and a player on Geoif’s polo team. “Why did you do it?” she de- méanded angrily of Tally. His eyes were black and cold. “Tm not sorry,” he said. unreasoning anger gripped Jocelyn .that the blood drained from her face and it became as white as her gown. “You—you toughneck,” she sputtered. “You —you—” tPeasant?” he suggested, then his back on her and strode toward the parked cars. Some of the group on the porch came down and surrounded Art Mason. One of the men helped him to his feet and led him to the lgeker rooms. Ruth Benton took Joselyn aside and declared: “I saw and heard the whole thing and I don’t blame that friend of yours one bit! Art was talking toa couple of other fellows when he ame out on the terrace and heard wise-cracking about you liv- ing in the same house with him. Art had been drinking of, course, but it wasn’t a nice remark. He os have had his jaw broken!” = Without waiting for Thorn she ran after Tally; caught him just as he started backing his old sedan out of the parking space. ““Tally,” she cried, jumping on the running-board and clinging to the rolled-down window. “Tally, | be sorry I said that about your ing a roughneck. I just found out why you hit Art—I want to thank you. It—it was good of you to resent gossip about me—” He did not turn his head. His roftile was uncompromising. ‘our reputation?” he asked. proce 4 you silly child, it was my reputation I was fighting for. Do think I want people to say I’m tine to cut in on Geoffrey Ken- sing? Now get off my running- or you might get hurt.” Oddly Tender OCELYN, stepping backward, stumbled and lost her balance, fell between his car and the one next to it. She cried out with pain and-fright. In a second Tally was leaning over her, »icking her up. “Are you hurt?” “N—no—I guess not. I—I was afraid you'd start your car and run over me before I could get up.” + “Gee, I'm sorry,” he said con- tritely. “I've got the darndest tem- You're such a tiny bit of a wouldn’t hurt you.” She relaxed against his shoul- der.

She wanted him to kiss her It was all mad ana sense- and impossible; but true. wer, he set her gently on her oe aes oo a a gravel r dress. “Jocelyn, I'm sorry about tonight.

Without lifting his head from his arms, Geoffrey asked: “Want me to rub some-sun-tan oil on your back, Lyn?” “Oh, I won’t burn now. I’m so brown I look like a native of Samoa. You're the laziest people I ever saw! There’s a perfectly grand ocean ten feet away and you lie here and sleep.” Nola sat up, adjusted -her sun- glasses, and regarded her long, lithe limbs .with. critical glance. “Why is it so hard to tan the front of mere she demanded, “Because you insist upon lying on your stomach,” Thorn ex- plained. “Want to go in for a dip?” to the hairdresser’s afterward. The salt water makes a mess of my bleached locks .., can’t you think bf something interesting to do?” Jocelyn wales her toes inthe sand, resisting the impulse to scoop up handfuls of it to. ur over Geoff's bulky shoulders. He’d have a fit if she did. He glistened with oil and the sand would stick to it. She wondered idly if any of the Mack family were on the other side of the dividing fence. Tally surely could not work in this abominable August heat; anyhow, his truck garden was flourishing—at least it looked flourishing from the win- dows at the back of the house. Nola would know, she mused resent- fully. Nola spent at least half of her time on the other side of the house; Bob, three-quarters. Yet, as if by some tacit agreement, neither Nola nor Bob ever men- tioned a word about the Macks and neither Thorn nor she would ask information. Restless DERISIVE smile twisted her _* lips. It had been four months since the club’s spring hop; four Tally’s arms. She hac been foolish enough to imagine that dance and its aftermath would make a change at Seacliff. It had not. If such a. circum.tance were possible, the vvents of that night had caused even more constraint between Tally aad her. He rigorously kept himself and his entire family out of her sight. The few times they had encountered each other in the riding stable he had spoken brief- ly and curtly, leaving no opening for further conversation. Four months. A twinge in her breast, familiar now from repeti- tion, caught her. There seemed to be life and love and rich, warm Se hblan the other side of the bar- rier. Laughter _and eagerness and happy voices. Even Tex, the bane of existence, seldom trespassed. Why am I so different from Nola and Bob? she wondered. They accepted the Macks and the Macks accepted them. Thorn was jealous of Nola’s informal intimacy with them but when he remonstrated informed him he was missing the time of his life; and, since she was not yet a Russell, she intended do- ing as she pleased. The situation tween them was strained, al- Boe genuinely fond of Thorn. ff turned over on his back and looked at her. “Lyn,” he im- plored, “when are you going to marry me?” Oh, pretty soon.” “That's what you've been saying for months,” he imbled. “Let's make it the first o: tember.” “But—but that’s only a bit more than Se socks aways” sa pro- ested, couldn’ i et ready for a wedding that quickly.” ‘You've had about four years to get ready,” he ne. out. Nola grinned. “He’s right, Lyn. And I'm here to help you.” Jocelyn knew the sensation of being cornered and was glad when Sandy trotted up to her with a long strand of seaweed in his teeth which he deposited with a trium- phant bark at her feet. Pretend- ing preoccupation with the Scottie gave her time to frame an answer. Certainly she intended to marry Geoffrey. What made her hesitate about setting a date? Because a very bold and insolent young man had once set her pulse pounding with ue kiss? yo ol ‘the sooner an put an end to such silly thoughts, the better, 3 Giving Sandy a final pat, she said: “Geoff, I'll set the date as soon as I make a list of all the things to be done. I'll know in a few days. Okay?” suppose so,” he frowned, wondering why she was sliding his it ring up and down . What made her so had since those impossible peopl here to live. " Continued temerrow.
