CHAPTER XXIII Th* crowd around the chibhous* exit was huge. Mike was a quarter of a a mil* away. Regan’s name was on everybody'* lip*. Finally Handsome himself rame. Th* erowd •urged forward. It took a flying wedge of cops to get him into a ear. whose ear. Mike eould not tell. She finally left, walking slowly to th* •übway. Handsome would probably expeet her to go bark to the hotel. The train* were still crowded, but •he managed to squeeze into one. So it was that Mike arrived bark at the hotel before Handsome The whole place was in an uproar. They bad banners up out front, a welcome home for the conquering hero. House Manager Downey was rushing around the lobby urging everybody to keep calm and not rush Handsome when he came in. Mike, for safety, took refuge behind her magazine counter with the relief girl. Business was so brisk, •he doffed her hat and fell to work. Finally Handsome arrived, and with him a troupe of cameramen, newspaper men. and just general admirers Finally, Mr. Downey had to whisk Handsome up the back way to hi* quarters. Mike waited patiently at the magazine counter. It was almost eight before Handsome called her from upstairs: “How’d you like it. Skipper?" "Marvelous! Think, if I hadn’t : gooe!" * "You'll always be there when I pitch!" ’’Wat Aee pleased?" "He didn't say, but the old aourpusa kept coming over to me and then walking away. He wanted to ■ay something and he didn’t get up hi» courage How long before you’ll be through?” "Just a little while.” Mike thought she detected something in Handsome's voice. "1* anything wrong?" "No. Just the Doe wants to work on my hand tonight Maybe you better go on home. I’ll just get a bite here Besides. I’ve got to meet Dusty and Marvin uptown at nine. Be a good girl and I'll see you in th* morning." Mike covered her acute disappointment, get out of the hotel a* unobtrusively a* possible. All th* way home she tried to pretend she did not mind that Handsome did have to meet Dusty and Marvin, that he was busy. "I want him to be free! I've told him that!" Mik* was trying hard to be honest She must put on a cheerful face for Jimmie. Hs’d be SO eager to bear everything. When she earn* to the Shannon apartment, a erowd was gathered. "Where's Handsome?" th* shout went up. Mike had to d« the honor*. She had to keep her ehln up Jimmie was wafting. His eyes were shining. but his disappointment showed plainly when Handsome did not come to s*e him, too “He wa* busy, darling. He'll see you within • dsy or two." Mik* promised. Then she settled herself to angwdr questions about th* gsms. The next morning, Mike read what the sports writer* had to say •bout Handsom* on her way over • to work. Although she was early, Handsome had left. He'd gone on . to th* hospital to hav* another X-ray of his hand.
