But he seems quite pleased with him- self. Chapter 18 New Job you lost your temper, that’s! what happened,” Jan scold- ed. “You love to bait people. It’s that sapenosiy’ complex of yours! I should thin! Ae might have considered me. I found you the cee and you know good and weil have to have money to feed you.” | Teasing mischief narrowed his one good eye. “Wait a minute, Jan. Hold on a minute before you get into a lather! I've given you every penny you asked for since 1 got the job. All you ever talk about is money, money, money! You're a mercenary wench, that’s what!” never have any money, that’s why!” she stormed. “Half the time I have to wait for Johnny’s Tent because he loses it gambling or spends it on clothes and Nor- ma’s going home next month and —oh, Derek, can’t you under- stand? It’s all I have. Haven't} you ever been poor? Don’t you know at all the value of money?” His brows drew together. He looked at the locker where she jawhile with Lance, trying to |draw him out of his neurotic ob- sorption with man talk. “Not very good,” she answered Derek finally. “I don’t know what to do. I don’t suppose it would do any good to tell her to move. He’d dislike me if I did that. And Norma, she scarcely touches her food. She’s eating her heart out, Derek.«She can not take it philo- sophically at all.” “Probably we wouldn’t either, put in her shoes. I'd like to tell that Rose—” He broke off, shrugged. “It’s none of my busi- lace” “You might try deflecting her attention,” Jan said. “She wouldn’t look at the likes o’ me,” he countered cheerfully. | “Besides, Johnny's doing his best.” “T feel sorrier for Norma than Lance, and I can’t seem to dislike | Rose. I suppose I should. I've | never known anyone like her be- | fore. I can’t blame Lance, either. She is beautiful and exciting and,” she smiled wryly, “deserv- jing of the movie appellation ‘glamorous.’ ” | He was thinking how many j$women he had met and known like Rose. He doubted much if she would find the rich husband she was searching for so diligent- jly. Men with money were not, jsuch fools as novelists, play-' wrights and columnists made out. kept her tings.

Hopelessly mad. | Nobody would pay enough for those pictures to pay for t vases and if u had any you'd know He dropped down on the cot,} bent his arm back and began scratching his bare brown back.; “I gu you'll have to get me another job,” he said. “I will,” she promised angrily. | “And in the meantime you can} just help me with the housework for your board and room.” “Meany,” he teased. “Shylock. Nagger. What makes you so mean to me, Jan? Don’t you like me? Of course it makes no difference} whether you do or not, I’m going} to stay here just the same. I'm yours, dear lady, for better and for worse! Don’t forget you wanted me once and now just be- cause you're tired of me you in- tend throwing me away like an old, wornout shoe. But you can’t do it. I'll stage a sitdown strike up here on your old roof and tell] everybody in the street below} about you!” She laughed helplessly. “Oh, come along downstairs and Ill! apply First Aid, you nitwit.” “That’s much better,” he com- limented. “What am I going to} ave for dinner tonight?

He ran the vacuum cleaner and scrubbed the kitchen floor and dusted furniture. “I can’t figure how you ever did all this alone,” he told her at the end of a week. “I thought housework was a sissy job for wo- men only.

He'd wanted so terribly to believe loved him, believed in him, ished his success as much as; that he’d put dark glasses j he, over the eyes of his mind.

He had to have a uniform of sorts, dark trousers, khaki shirt and busman’s cap, which cost ten dol- lars, so Jan advanced him the money on provision he return it as fast as he could. His salary was fifteen dollars | a week for six days’ work, three dollars less than he made on the ishing barge, but, he told Jan at the end of the first day, this bus driving was a lot more fun. He bought himself smoked gog- | gles and wore: his cap well over his eyes, hoping, although Jan didn’t know this, that no one he knew would ever condescend to | ride on his little boardwalk tram. He dallied with the advisability of dyeing his hair, for that cop- r ‘ive him away quicker than anything else about im, but decided against it. He ind himself in a curiously ironie situation these days. He had, often, to go without minor things he wanted and needed, yet at any time he could have gone into any bank, established his identity and withdrawn any sum he wanted. But he also knew that the moment he did so his pleasant anonymous life here would end, and he had no wish for it to end, not yet, Rose appeared delighted that erek had graduated from “live bait fisherman” to “tram trun- .” Once in tailored silk slacks, once in gay peasant beach cos- tume, she rode with him to the Surf Club and back. He per- mitted her to share part of his driver’s seat and told her in a low voice he considered her: “An un- scrupulous, predatory and abgo- lutely selfish moron.” To which accusation she ieplied with light, rippling laughter.
