For he liked her instantly, did Mr. Duncan OConnor, demanding of her pathetically where she had been all his life, "hen the music began, rising automatically to dance with her. Antoinette its a name to dream said Duncan OConnor, dancon, my favorite name. Taft ing. Is too long for me to remember; my brain isnt very good. This Is my favorite music In the whole world; I mean it. Youre what? Larrys niece? No, just a friend. lie and I and Ruth have been friends for ever so long. No, Im the society reporter on the Call. Im on a newspaper here. I half own It. Why, how old are you? Tony looked up at her companion curiously, as they walked back to the table. poppet. Have you reached ages already? Larry asked, pulling out Tony's chair. I havent reached Antoinette's, Duncan said modestly. Hes got a certain line, Larry warned her. But dont believe one word he says. The music recommenced, and this time It was Larry "ho rose and held open his arms for Tony. Tony rose obediently, but for some reason she found It oddly exciting, thrilling, even frightening to move to the throb of the music over the wide floor with him, his arms about her. and her heart beating so close to his own heart Jits Ruth wouldnt dance? I asked her. She never does. She was quite breathless when she went back to her salad; afterward she danced with Duncan again, and with a boy that Duncan knew. Then Larry and Ruth said that they were going back to the cottage, and Tony said she would go too ; they were all tired. On the way back she said that she meant to get up and swim before breakfast. Its a date, said Larry. Im playing golf at ten, but Id love It at eight. And we can breakfast afterward. Im playing bridge, Ruth said. Alice telephoned about It I dont believe I'll get up early and swim. Tomorrows going to be a scorcher. You can amuse yourself somehow tomorrow, Tony? Amuse myself I I could amuse myself here for a thousand years! You make this dull old place seem fun ! Larry said. . CHAPTER XIV week flew by; It was any other time Tony had known. The hours seemed THE ever dreamlike, unreal, shot with unearthly sunshine, perfumed with flowers that were sweeter than other flowers, set to the deep organ-tone- d voice of the tireless green ocean Into which she flung herself shouting with Joy every morning and every afternoon. Cool and sweet In fresh linen, she went with Ruth to afternoon readings, to one or two teas; she became a familiar figure at the Beach club; her blue bathing suit drying on the line, her blue eyes dancing over the lunch room with their appetite for joy and adventure never quenched. Larry came down on Friday night; Saturday, Sunday flashed by, the holiday was over. Again the linens and organdies were pocked, and again the alarm was set. Duncan O'Connor had come up to the cottage to say good-ba few hours earlier, In the twilight, and she had walked with him In the garden for a few minutes, and let him kiss her. Somehow It didnt seem important, but It all fitted into the dream of youth and joy and beauty and autumn beside the y the veiled ocean, slipped by; reluctantly the sun pierced the land fog and drove It away, and Tony saw the flashing light of the new day reflected blazingly In the windows of the sleeping little houses along the road. Breakfast at Santa Marla, and more miles and miles and miles clicked off on the meter. She and Larry talked; presently he told her that It seemed to him the shortest run he had ever made from Santa Barbara. Then, only a few miles out of the city, suddenly on the left there was the looming shadow of a truck thundering out of a crossroad, and the veering of the big car that was coming swiftly toward them. Their own car,' reeling dizzily, was driven off Into the soft shoulder of the highway, slipping, slipping, wrenched desperately by Larrys hands back toward the line slipping In spite of It and the steep hill and the bay just below Tony gasped ; heard him say Keep quiet, were all sharply, right! before there was a second of sickening horror, and the alternation of flying white sky and brown grass past the window, and the rending and smashing of wood. Then an awful silence, and a gentle little tinkle of glass. She was struggling with a door above her head ; she was out on the grass, her hand to help him. Larry was beside her.

Mae Ethyl Muzzy was being pathetic and feminine and helpless under the gallant tutelage of Arch Slosser. Mae was the most recent addition to the staff; Tony fancied that she would not last long. She had appeared a week or two earlier, the blondest blonde ever seen outside of a doll shop. She was to do "feature stories. Her only interest was In the men with whom she found herself surrounded. Some of them capitulated to her at once; the others Ignored her; there seemed to be no middle course with Mae. Spike Illyan came over to Tonys desk. Say, did they tell you about Bess Cutter, while you were gone? No, what happened? Oh, she came In here and she took Frank Fitch for a free ride, let me tell you. She raged around the office, and she appealed to d , ' ! i A Three Days Cough Is Your Danger Signal Ifo matter how many medicines hat e tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial Irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion.

Telephone, typewriter, telephone again; Tony compiled her dally social column In the usual way. Mollie Mackay came In and observed. In a stream of odd gossip, that the Journal and the Examiner deal might go through, after all; she had heard that four Mg offices on the floor above the Examiners regular rooms were to be turned over to Lawrence Bel- I and spectators against the sky above; looked down at the crawling gray level of water. She felt physl cally sick; tottered dizzily on her feet; was suddenly safe and tight against Larrys heart Tony, my darling, my darling youre all right? She shut her eyes, rested her head weakly against Larrys shoulder. Immediately two or three officers were beside them, were talking, were helping her up the hill. From somewhere a taxi appeared, and Tony was bundled Into It and found herself alone with Larry again, speeding toward the city. He kept his arm tightly about her, and she rested her head against him ; they did not speak for a long while. ' Home, huh, Tony? I I think so. You were a brick; a perfect brick, I never saw him at all! What did you do, open the door? I dont remember; I must have. I saw you all tumbled over the I wheel. She shut her eyes. had the feeling of death death close, and and Inevitable! You were a brick, he said again. When they reached the dingy Fulton street doorway he went up with her to the shabby little apartment on the top floor; It was the first time he had seen it. Aunt Meggy and Annt Sally were there; Tony shakily Introduced Larry and gave them an Idea of what had occurred. It was one oclock. Tony washed her pale dirty face and treated the little cut on her forehead. Before they went away she showed Larry her father's photograph and her mother's, and the view that lay below the sitting-roowindows. Then he took her downtown, and they had delirious soup and a thick steak and coffee. as still pale; too much She excited to eat very much. But the hot drink brought back her color, and "hen Larry left her at the office doot she looked more like herself. I'm not going to say anything ahnut this to Ruth, Tony.
