Gail was standing there, and at her side was Homer Gregg. “You see,” she called out softly, “T'm_ back.” Homer elbowed his way through to Bruce. “QO, K., give me your hand and we'll shake,” Homer led. “I don’t like this amy more ‘n you do. But Gail ordered it. And she’s practically the boss now.” Then the world emptied of mere common people so far as Homer was concerned. He walked over to where she stood in the shadows at the far end of the room. And with the. gesture he reserved exclusively for her, he took her hand and kissed it. “Hello, Antoinette.” “Well, who’s going to tell him?” Joe Taggart sang out. “Let’s all tell him at once,” Phil Doherty carried on. “We’ve let you have one year of book- learnin’ and now we've come to take you back.” : ae in. the mee with a we're pping ing into the Pacific.” Homer, still holding T’nette’s hand, felt the slender beauty of it turn gradually to steel.

Genially he caught up Bruce’s hand in a warm grip. “Mighty glad to know you, Mr. Crane.” “My house? Rent my house?” T’nette sent him a beseeching look that was pitiful in its plea for understanding. “Oh course, darling. You re- member.” . A little wildly she laughed. “There are two years of medical school yet, and Mr. Say- lor thinks it is wonderful that you had the courage to go back, “Springing another bit of a deal, dearies?” NNOTICED and unheard—for the members of the band had made themselves completely at home and were raising quite a row—Gail Lake had come close. “It is safer when there are lots of people about, isn’t it, Antoi- nette?” Saylor did not attempt to dis- guise his quick dislike. “Obviously there is some sort of misunderstanding,” he said. “I do want this house, but it seems as if this—this mob has upset ev- erybody.
