Wanted Love CHAPTER 42 "Don't forget" you've got the next dance with me," the olly-haired fellow whispered familiarly against Lillian's ear-as of he were imparting an important secret, or making love.

But between the throbbing beats of the orchestra Lillian could hear other sentences, too, sentences which kept pushing repulsive creature from her "Nothing today" "Sorry, we don't need any more help here." "You haven't had any business training, Miss!" "What do you think you could do an around office?" "Come back. next week maybe week after if you're around this way" "This room you sixty cents." "Only have a dollar and a half in the world." While a plastered with tiny mirrors, and which revolved 'and flected polka- dots of bright colors over the dancers, cast numerous shadows 'over Lillian a huge black floated. across' her thoughts disturbing thought of her home, of her father, her mother 'of the worry she had caused them by running away. "Why was I such a food fool!" the thought was hot, agonizing. But she believed more strongly than ever that she could not, would not communicate with her family proud, go smug, so secufe their so Ignorance of the other side of life and its victims.

She thought she was going to drop the music had been so fast and the room suddenly was so warm. She was dizzy. The music stopped, but only for a minute, then it started again. A new dance got underway. The youth wrapped his arm about her again.

She thought she couldn't force her feet to move. "This is my dance, baby," he said. He thought she was not going to dance it with him; "Can't "Can't? Why can't you? There ain't no reason you can tell me and make me like it!" Lillian "reached out and caught at the bannister, leaning back against It with both hands holding on. "Got it with some other guy?" the lean youth curled his lip. Suddenly Lillian had an have can It I have with It some with one you else?" then she asked.

Her eyes met his. "How much will he give you?" he asked, running his hand down into his pocket. Lillian didn't know Just what to She had to be practical. She say. took a chance.

"A dollar-" she fibbed, fearing she had set the figure too high. "Well, anyway, he said he would give me that," she added hurriedly. "I'll give you a buck How. 'bout that?" Lillian was learning the tricks of the taxi- "Well, I don't know-" "You don't know! Say- you got business sense, ain't you? Make up your mind, baby!" He pushed a bill and some silver Into her hand. Then he wired his arm about her and they started stepping to the music.

Lillian's eyes fell on a sign stating: "No Objectionable Dancing Allowed." She decided judging from most of the couples no one had read that sign. As Lillian danced by Sadie winked. Sadie stood outside of the. bannister eating a sandwich. Lillian suddenly felt happler.

Sadie wouldn't Je hungry. And she had a dollar and a half! She tried not to despise dancing with the gawky, unkempt boy. Tried not to loathe big holding her close She had received a dollar and a half The Story of an Unemployed Girl for those few minutes. A dollar and 8 half! How would get away from him, after that Ebe tried to think. Began eyeing the few men watching from the bannister rail.

One wag a low, fat man. He returned Lillian's look and his lips formed the word "next?" Lillian nodded. His eyes ran along her figure gloating. as she danced away. "I have the next dance," she said to the youth when the music stopped and hurried away, relieved somehow.

She wrapped her money securely In her handkerchief. Going home you," the youth rector, you though. ed up and informed her, She said, "Goodbye." At first it struck her as being comical, dancing with the fat man. His protruding waist line made him hold her away from him at a respectable distance. "I'm a business man," he informed her and she felt she should appear impressed, She WAS, In fact.

She caught: to- the weary hope that perhaps. could give her a job or Eve. "What kind of business?" she asked, interested. "Oh, big business- I'd like to tell you all about it." "Do' tell He patted her back and leaned his head over against her neck. "You come for a ride with me In my car--and I'll tell you all about it." don't think I could-" "Married?" "No-" "I am-but my wife lives in Jersey.

You wouldn't let a little thing like a wife bother you, would you, girlie?" She wondered how much she would get. for that dance. Would It ever end? She thought of the tip he would give and her eyes were kinder. "Maybe," she said. "Aw, say you'll go riding with me.

After this dance?" Lillian wouldn't say. And then, the music stopped. He caught her arm and lead her toward the entrance. "The boss won't care. Friend of mine.

Nearly closing time anyway," he confided. Lillian had no idea of going with him. She really wanted to find Eve. She hadn't seen her since she began dancing. "I've got to find somebody." Lillian said, with an air of dismissal.

"Not going to see a man about 8 dog, are you?" his eyes narrowing. She left him with that, so eager to be away she didn't dally for his tip. Eve came up to Lillian. She had been sitting on the bench there all the time, just as many of the other girls get Sadie and leave," said Lillian, "I've made a dollar and a half!" It might have been fifty dollars from the way Eve's face lit up. Lil- Han was eager to be out of the then.

"It's going to close she piace told Eve, as they went into the dress ing room to get their wraps. They waited and waited for Sadle, thinking she would decide to leave bee fore the closing rush, But by the bannister they could see Sadid' dancing with a big blonde fellow. small dark head only reaching about to his heart. She danced with head resting against his huge body, Her eyes were closed as she glided past Lillian and Eve. "Sadie," called Lillian, "come.

let'A go now. time to close." Sadie looked at her and started to nod, it seemed, but the heid her closer and said in a low volce. Lillian and Eve only caught the persuasive tone. He danced Sadie away from white the girls stood, and when he retin he a little later Sadie leaned over said: "You two know the way back, don't you? I'll be seeing you." There was a triumphant, possessive gleam In the big eyes. He pressed Sadie's little head back against his chest and glided away.

That was the last time Lillian ::.8 Eve ever saw Sadie. (Continued Sunday.) "HIGHER PLANK WINS DESPITE WIFE'S CAMPAIGN By The Associated Press.
