CO ON WITH THE STOriV CHAPTER XXXVlll 'Hpr-lE curtain had risen on the first cct when Susan and Ernest Heath drifted down the'aisle of the theater! More than one head tunned to look at the tall girl in the regally wrap of brown fur. There were one or two whispers as Heath was recognized. He hEd forgotten his original caution and desire to avoid publicity in his eagerness to. talta Susan about. At- thoughfimpatient for marriage to 1 take place he had agreed to wait for her aunt's return.

Now, conscious of craned necks and the whispers, ha felt only a glow of girl was so'beautiful! She had a look of race about her. Susan leaned forward absorbed in the play, and the man watched ber with interest. It was not until the curtain dropped again and the lights came on that Susan drew a deep breath and returned to reality. "You like it?" "Oh, 'so much!" Tha color came up In her-cheeks and her eyes were starry. "Don't you?" "Well, it's ail right, only ail these British comedies sound alike." "They may to you but I've never seen one.

before and 1 think it's wonderful," she confided with a happy little laugh. Susaj loosened her wrap and 'leaned back, looking about her for the first. v.ime. As by a magnet her gaze drawn to a little group in the box just to the left. Irresistibly her eyes clung to the three people balancing on the little gilt chairs.

Surely sha knew that girl in black, with her bright hair combed demurely back from a brow of camellia whiteness. Susan's heart plunged as she realized the identity of the fair-haired young man whose head was turned away from her. Try as she might, she could not take her eyes away. As though, impelled by Susan's gaze the man turned and stared at her. For the fraction of an instant something quivered between them.

Then the girl inclined her, head with dignity and looked swiftly away. Her pulses were racing now. Tliis was just as she had dreamed. "Someone you know?" Heath asked curiously, noting the quality of her bow, Susan never knew how shs answered him. She was fighting desperately for control.

All her hard won defenses seemed shattered by this encounter. in the box another little drama was being enacted. The bright haired girl in had followed the direction of Bob Dunbar's glance and had seen him Hush. She laughed coolly. your little friend turns up again!" she said.

"Who's that with her?" IDenise leaned forward, frankly staring. At the glimpse of Heath's 'aristocratic profile she whistled softly. "As I live and breath," she muttered, "she's bagged Old Propriety himself!" She saw Bob's spine stiffen and return with zest to tho attack. "Look what she's sho said, enjoying herself thoroughly now, "Sables! Mother said when she was in Ma- damo Elsa's the 'other day the talk was that old Heath had a girl around town now." Fiercely Bob interrupted her. "Don't bs a fool," he said.

"You know Susan Carey isn't that kind." Deniso shrugged. "You know more about her than I do, Smarty." She turned her attention -to the other member of the party, a youth who looked like a professional tango dancer. During the second interval Susan determinedly kept her eyes away from tho just as the lights went off, quite against her will, her eyes flashed in that direction. The box was empty. They had gorie.

The world, suddenly went gray. What she had expected she scarcely knew. Perhaps she had hoped against hope that as the well- drcssad throngs milled out into the foyer her shoulder might brush against Bob's. Ho would look up and smile. Perhaps he would shake hands.

She would give everything she owned at this instant to slip her tingling palm into the grip of his strong fingers. It would be something to remember, something to.treasure. But now he had gone and she would not-see 1 him. HAT had happened" was this Denise and the Spanish youth had seen the play before and Bob who was raging in his heart at the conversation touching Susan, was quifo ready to concur In their prq posal to go on some' plane dance." He wanted overwhelmingly to hurt someone. Since he could not hurt Susan he turned the bat tery of his sarcastic fury upon bis two companions.

Denise ordered the taxi driver to stop. "Look here, if you donY' like 'us you. know what you can she said crudely. "Bobby's a beast temper," she explained'to tlie other man. "I stepped on hispet corn and he doesn't like it.

and 1 want to go places arid have fun. If you're going to crab the party you'd better get out." Bob bowed low to her. "That's all right with me." he said elabo rately. "That's fine." The door slammed after him. "If I didn't know he hadn't a drop I'd say he was" Denise muttered, peering after-Dun bar as he sauntered down' the street.

She was not far from right. The young man was drunk fury and despair. Passers-by turned to stare at the tall, hatless youth in evening- clothes. One or 'two timid women scuttled anxiously in the direction of a booth after he passed. His eyes were wild and he was talking to himself.

Without consciously directing his course he turned his steps toward the theater he had just The night was sharply cold but he was not aware of it. As he swung along he discovered that he was carrying an object in the curve of arm. He examined it and found', his opera hat. He laughed suddenly and sailed the thing Into the middle of the street where'it lay on the car tracks. As be neared the.

steps quickened. The pavement- was deserted. Perhaps the; play was over and Susan had that was it! He knew now had come back. It'was for a glimpse' of her, of the girl he had 'enshrined; "Enshrined! That's, he barked aloud, frightening old' cleaning woman who was. trotting along homeward.
