SYNOPSIS Young and beautiful Patricia Braithnait adored her father so much that she was willing to sacrifice love and happiness to insure his future independence by marrying middle-aged Harvey Blaine for his wealth. It was Aunt Pamela who suggested that Pat marry wraith, warning that "the glamour of love wears off". Pamela spoke from experience; her own marriage to handsome Jimmie Warren, a young lawyer, was becoming dull. Jimmie, furious at Pat’s engagement, awakens to the realization that he, himself, cares for her. Pat, with youth's optimism, hopes in vain that the young camper whom she only knows as "Jack”, and saw only once, will rescue her from Blaine. Jimmie finds her in the garden, sobbing. He takes her in his arms and, in despair and hungry for love, she permits him to kiss her. Next day Pat breaks her engagement. Pamela is suspicious when, immediately following Pat’s broken engagement, Jimmie offers to loan Pat money to study art. Pat's father declines Jimmie's offer, saying his insurance (which he would not touch for himself but felt justified in using for his daughter's career) was adequate for her needs. He plans to take Pat to Paris. One minute Patricia feels she cannot leave Jimmie, and, the next, she loathes him for the kiss experience of the previous night. Then Jaek arrives. Pat thinks—if he had only come yesterday, for, today, he is too late and it is Jimmie she wants. Jack explains he stayed away because her “good-bye” seemed so final. Pat learns that he is wealthy Jack Lawrence, for whom a nationjack Laurence, for whom a nationyears ago when he was kidnapped while enroute to his father's oil lands in Mexico. He tells Pat of his love and longing to take her into his arms at their first meeting. She sobs, “If you only had!” Pat explains how she turned, in desperation, to another in whose embrace the love which Jack had awakened —flowered! CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Jack sat still. The silver night drooped of its own weariness; the moon hung flaccidly and palely in space, waving tattered cloud banners above a darkened sea where a few feeble stars rocked in the wash

of their own light. She reached out to him, touching his hand shyly, aching for his hurt and her own; aching to comfort him and be comforted. He seemed unaware of her touch, turned inward upon himself, submerged and withdrawn — thinking what thoughts! Mysterious and detached. Suddenly he sprang up, light, cat-like in his grace, and stood smiling down at her. Tall and straight, lightly poised, swaying to the movement of the sea. He bent over the motor. Its harsh voice cut across the resplendent night, shattering its quiet. Patricia watched him, her heart heavy, suffocated by the pity of it all. She saw the deep light falling on him, glinting on his smooth black head, draining his absorbed face of color. Now and again he gave her a smile, friendly, withdrawn. At the entrance of the hotel grounds he stopped, and taking her arm, turned back to face the sea. Behind them the dark quiet gardens; before them an infinitude of light. A palm tree on the rim of sand, tall and slim, its dark plumelike head etched high against the silver wash, gave the whole picture a fabulous quality. “Mostly Pat," he said in a low voice, “whenever you see the full moon, and wherever —I’ll be thinking of you.” She laughed tremulously. “It’s a long and wide promise. For wherever I go the moon will be there. When you are an old man, and 1 an old lady, dimly remembered by

you, I'll step out some night, holding one of my grandchildren by the hand; and the full moon, smiling slyly down will wave her magic wand, and my grandchild—in the twinkling of an eye—will be a dark young man. My silver hair will be gold. The scene will be this. It’s an unfair spell you’re trying to put on me.” A low chuckle escaped him. “It was done with malicious intent. Wherever you go the moon will be there to remind you of this night and me. But—l may be there too —holding the other hand—of your grandchild. You don’t think, liittle Pat, now that I’ve found you I shall walk submissively out of your life, leaving you to this other man? You don’t think I believe your love for him is legitimate? You told me you had never wanted a man to kiss you till yesterday in my tent. I was the man. The first man who stirred the somnolent womanhood in you. I let fear cheat us both. I feared to shock you and lose you. This other man caught you in rebound from my failure. He won your gratitude and you think that’s love. I don't. He’s got to fight me for you. Au revoir. Mostly Pat.” He turned swiftly away. She watched him push his boat off. He stood up waving to her, then began poling, a dark figure swaying in rhythmic beauty against the silver mist. A little thrill caught her. The thrill es a young girl who has just received from a handsome young man the promise that he will fight for her, win her from another . . • • • Patricia was awakened oy an insistent rattling and swishing outside her windows. She sprang up, ran to lower the sash, and looked out on a streaming world. Troubled by dreams of Jimmie and Jack in deadly combat, she had slept badly. Sometimes they were romantic gentlemen in short velvet breeches and brilliant coats, , swords flashing in sunlight. Again I they wore trunks and padded gloves, naked bodies straining, pommeling each other inside a prize ring. Now strange savage men wearing the skins of animals, : themselves like animats. Hair flows ing, teeth gnashing, they wieided i curious weapons of death. And always Jimmie seemed to have the i better of Jack.

She dressed hurriedly. Her father j had finished his breakfast and sat in conversation with a nearby couple. Long rows of white tables in pallid light. Forlorn faces bent ( over chilly grapefruit. Cold looking , waiters. Shawls. Sweaters. Gloom. , Loud complaints against the false advertising of Florida as a land of eternal sunshine.'Assertions to the effect that it was never colder in i the North than this morning. Talk of returning to steam heat and houses built for bad weather All the intolerable aspects of a day without sunshine in Florida were being debated. Patricia drank a cup of coffee and escaped. Her father followed her and she went upstairs with him to help him pack for his journey. “Now run along," he told her, “I must dress.” In the lobby entrance two bellboys were divesting a tall man of a dripping mackintosh. Two others were rushing toward the desk with wet luggage. An Oil hat covered the man’s down-bent head. A boy took the hat and Patricia’s heart lost a beat as Jack’s dark and smiling face was revealed. “Even if 1 hadn’t already heard an urgent call back to civilization,” he called to her, his eyes shining, “the elements would have forced me. But I had packed last night anyway. Wait here for me,” he added, following the bellboy past her. “I’ll be right down, soon as I get in some dry togs.” She watched him leaning over the desk, saw the puzzled expression of the clerk’s face, his quick glance at the register, and recognition . . . 1

He spoke to Jack eagerly Jack talking to him. Protest in the clerk's face; then, slow agreement and the serious air of a fellow conspirator. “He has promised not to give Jack's name to the papers," she thought. “He didn’t want to But Jack is the kind ot a man whe geLs what he wants- -usually.” The elevator opened. A woman stepped >ut. An exquisite woman dressed in sand color from head to foot. Her shoes and hose exactly matched the simple yet exquisitely tailored frock. Her hair, parted on one side of a low forehead, was a little darker sand and her perfect marcel had the look of having been tailored too Not an ornament Plain as an old-time wedding ring yet smart, oh, very smart and modern. A slightly short, slightly square woman, altogether satisfying. A pair of large hazel »yes rested on Patricia. The eyes were friendly, but did not quite reach the point of a smile; «hey passed to Jack now nearing the elevator. She stepped out. addressing the bellboy carrying Jack’s bags. He pointed to the right. She smiled her thanks, and her smile seemed to encompass Jack Not s forward or flirtatious smile, just quiet en compassing quite impersonal, yet personally engaging. They.die not speak, but when Jack faced arouno : in the elevator his eyes were smil ■ ing. They followed the lady in sand ; on her way to the library. To her surprise Patricia found that she also had responded to that encompassing smile “Person ality,” she thought, dropping down on a big divan and tucking her feet i up under her “Colorless as the l desert, and as poignant.” Her thoughts -eturned tc Jaei 1 He had packed up his thing? last r night—in bright moonlight. be,'or( ' he knew there would be rain He : had meant it —He would not gm • her up without » struggle She j thought of her dream; savage mer 1 slashing at each other with strange - weapons.

J She was covering the tragic pos ' sibilities in this thought when Ida * Ragan, tall, blonde, slinky as to f movement and figure, entered, followed by the “gin g.” They r pounced on Patricia. 1 “What a day!.. What’ll we do!

. , Think up something, can’t you ’ . . Library? Children, Pat suggests the library as if it isn’t dull enough already Arthur, speak up. You’re from Tampa. What do people do in Florida when it rains?” “Well," replied Arthur, dropping into a chair as if too weary to hold himself together, “if you all want to you can come up to my room.” “Let’s go,” cried Ida, showing signs of life. ‘Come on, Pat.” “I can’t. I’ve got a date.” “A date? Who with? . . To do what? ” “To do nothing. Just to wait here for a handsome young man.” “A new man? Have we seen him? When did he arrive ? Where's he from? How'd you meet him?” “You boys go on to your date with the bellboy,” Ida said, her slinky figure straightening. “We’ll stay and help Pat keep hers.” Arthur was frowning darkly. H« didn’t want to go. But it was his suggestion. The men pulled him to his feet. He protested noisily. The lady in sand came from the library carrying a book. They paused . Noise lessening . . All watching her cross the lounge . . , Who’s she ? Not a beauty but—something about her ... Not until she entered the elevator did they resume their rough persuasion of Arthur He yielded reluctantly, casting a dark glance at Pat. Several girls went along Most o( them stayed.
