RELEASE THE STORT THUS FAR: Zorle Corey, timid girl, is expected by her employ-er- i wife to deliver in person some thirty Invitations to tea, of a rainy evening. She picks up the invitations and starts out, but, discouraged, leans against a telephone pole and cries. A handsome stranger comes along, learns her story, grabs the invitations from her and tears them up. Zorie meets her fiances uncle. Admiral Duncan, who practically forces her to accept a job to edit his memoirs. Zories Aunt Hannah protests, but Admiral Duncan wins. The handsome stranger ' picks up her suitcases and brings them to the steamer, Samoa. On board. Miss Amber Lanning claims occupancy to the same stateroom. A . et CHAPTER V Zorie closed her eyes, because they were suddenly filled with tears. These tears were, as usual, tears of fury directed at her meekness. She leaned back against the pillows. She intended to take a Shower in a moment and dress in the bathroom. JShe. fell asleep. The ringing of the telephone awoke her. She opened her eyes and looked about the stateroom with dismay. It was empty! Miss Lanning had finished dressing and was gone! Zorie glanced at her wristwatch. It was 7:21! She answered the phone. It was Paul again. His tones were the icy reserved tones of a man who is furious but who, because others are present, is controlling himself. Zorie, whats become of you? Were all ready to start dinner. Ill explain everything, Zorie anI wont be a swered tremulously. After she had taken her shower, was looking for a bath towel, she learned why. There had been four hand towels and four bath towels. Miss Lanning had used them alL They were strewn over the bathroom floor. - A hot wave of anger went over Zorie, and foT a moment she stood, dripping, with her fists and her teeth clenched. At that moment, she hated the slim, beautiful, arrogant Miss Lanning. She opened her trunk, having to look through her bag for the key, and found three hand towels she had intended embroidering for Aunt Hannahs birthday. They were mere wisps of towels. She could not dry herself at all thoroughly. Some day, Zorie announced, Im going to be like that. Im going to be arrogant and ruthless and and brutal. She dressed with haste. She had little time to give her hair. She dress, slipped into the navy-blu- e zipped it up and stepped back and considered herself in the mirrors. She opened the door. A man was standing in the corridor a dozen feet away with an unlighted cigarette in his mouth. He was flicking the wheel of a lighter. He held the flame to the cigarette, but his eyes were on Zorie and they remained on her as she shut the door and started along the corridor toward him. He was a short man in a dark gray suit, with wide sloping shoulders and scrubby-lookin- g dark red hair. Slanting gave his dark eyes a cynical expression. As she passed him, his eyes narrowed, and they were as bright, as alert, as the eyes of a ferret. He made her feel uneasy. Paul opened the door to her knock. She walked into the room with her heart still pounding. Steve and the admiral were at the other end of the room, which was fully twice as large as the room she and Amber Lanning were sharing. Beyond was another large room. The three men wore white or evening jackets and black trousers. She glanced at Paul, tall and straight and splendid-lookinwith the expression in his eyes she had been prepared for. Im sorry Im late, she said ancj , eye-socke- ts pale-color- ed g, meekly. Being late, the admiral said, is a beautiful womans privilege. ' With his curly white hair, his furrowed red face and his lean erectness, he looked distinguished. Something happened in his china-blu- e eyes as he took her in an almost imperceptible tightening. His expression did not seem to change, yet he betrayed, as his eyes quickly ran down her, surprise and disappoint- ment. She glanced quickly at Steve. He looked very brown and huge and handsome in a beige dinner jacket with a blue bow tie and a blue silk carnation the shade of his eyes. She wondered if he knew that the man she had just seen was aboard. He was looking at her as if he was delighted with her. It mystified Zorie. The admiral had betrayed disappointment in her appearance, and she had not been surprised. Steve was gazing at her with unmistakable admiration., Why? It seemed that whatever the basis was for their contacts, he was always mystifying her. He slowly grinned, turned and went into the other room. He returned with a white flower in his hand. It looked a little like a gardenia, but its white petals were more odor fragile. It had a spicy-swethat was strange and exotic. With the compliments of Admiral Duncan, he said in his deep voice. Its an old island custom. He put the flower in her hair. As he bent down and fixed the flower he said in a voice too low for the admiral and Paul to hear, Im proud of you, baby. Zorie was more mystified than ever. No man had ever before put a flower in her hair. Her cheeks werfe burning. She could not decide whether he was making fun of her, being sorry for her, because of her wrinkled dress, her lack of makeup and Pauls cool disapproval of her tardiness, or whether he was deliberately teasing Paul. Whatever his motive was, she felt Thank you, she said, grateful. with warmth. What is it? White ginger. He picked up a cocktail from a tray and handed it to her, but before she could accept it, Paul said curtly, Zorie doesnt drink, Steve. It wasnt true. Although Paul disapproved of drinking, because of its you arent in practice, you bump into people. Paul kept bumping into people and apologizing. He became of the The slight rolling him off balance, sending ship kept and that annoyed him, too. The ship rolled more sharply than usual.

All right, Zorie agreed. Just then Steves deep, lazy voice said, Is it against maritime law to cut in? Try He was grinning at Paul. it! Paul said curtly. Im not the shark gods type. He walked away.
