Jason and 1 were talking. 1 t n ou g h t it was safe enough there, but afterwards—afterwards 1 recognized someone in tne next booth. Jason was quizzing me about Thelma Felton," she added. ?, ■ Carol asked a question that hgd been puzzling her. “Do you know it she knew Don Haskin over here, Julie?" Julie hesitated. “That’s another thing Jason asked me last night. 1 learned recently that Don was manager at the Nassau hotel where she worked as a receptionist. 1 understand when old Felton died, she made Don managing director at Felton’s, is she sweet on him f" “I don’t know,” Carol murmured, but she didn’t think It was love Thelma felt tor Don: it kras tear: When they got downstairs, mott ot the others haa gone down to the strip ot private beach to swim. Ben Gallet was no longer behind the bar. A man tn a white coat With a battered-iooking face had taken his place. He didn't look to Carol like a bartender. Several colored servants in white aprons and ‘.tall chefs caps were preparing the barbecue, filling large open brick ovens with glowing coals. Carol' found herself glancing about for Jason. * ■ ■?,' “Is Jason going to join us?” she asked tentatively, as Julie and site crossed the, private road ana went to the beach. “He said there was something wrong with the car. He wanted to take the engine apart and see whfit It was,” Julie said. ' Carol felt too worried by that recent conversation to enjoy the bathing.

When Derek saw her, he called “Hi!” apd dashed pack through the surf towards her. He caught hold of her hand. “Come along in. It’s great fun." . She shook her head. “I’m cold, Derek, i think I’ll go inside pnd change.” She felt that he was disappointed in her, and she was Sorry, but she was motivated by a very real sense of urgency. She had to see Jason. She had to warn him, although she felt he wouldn’t take any notice of fier warning. i \ - She changed quickly i d t o the fight cotton dress she hid been wearing, and. ran down the staircase. At the side of the house, but farther back, there were three cohnecting garages, and as she approached she saw red-dotted curtains on a white ground billowing put into the breeze trom the Upstairs apartment Julie said she had prepared tor Jason. Red and white, Julie’s signature colors, she' thought. * One of the garage doors was bpen and she stepped inside. The bonnet ot the white Jaguar was up, but Jason was nowhere to be seen.

His red hair was untiay and some of the grease from the car had spilled onto his face. She noticed that one of his hands was bandaged. "You .don’t look exactly dressed up for a party. Aren’t you coming?" she asked. He wiped the grease off his hands with a cloth. “I thought I’d give the party a miss." He grinned and added, “Somehow I don’t think I’d be awfully welcome in certain quarters?’ She came straight to the point. “You mean by Ben?” Hi grimaced. “Maybe." “If he doesn’t like you, why do ypu stay here?" she asked urgently. ‘Tm scared.

Lassie Switches To TV From Movies First Canine Movie Star On Television ’ HOLLYWOOD, UP — Another movie star has switched to television. and this glamorous redhead, is getting in shape by chewing on an old gunnysack. Lassie,, sometimes known as Greer Garson with becomes the first canine movie star on television he starts hth awn halfhour TV movies next fall. The fodr-footed actor, like many a two-footer, quit MGM last year at a ripe age—lo—when the studio ran out of stories for mature, worldly dogs. The famous collie is bored with sitting around the house and will be happy to get back to work, his trainer-owner, Rudd Weatherwax, reported. “When I work other dogs at the studios I take Lassie along for the ride,’’ Weatherwax said while his Star romped on the lawn wRh that gunny sack. j “He seems to think he’s working, too, and it keeps him happy. He also has kept in Condition by doing persona appearance tours: at dog shows. And I let him play with of his sons- and that gnnnysack; Hiss better looking now than he’s ever been in his life.” ' Each TV movie will star Lassie in his rble of making bad men into heroes or pulling small fry and beautiful ladles out of distress. Or. natlier, the movies will sfar live Lassies. Lassie has four doubles, his a record no- other TV actor

~tsut nouimg or no one would want to harm you, Carol,*’ he said quickly. “I was thinking of you, Jason." There was a pause. “Nice of you, but why worry about me, darling ?y he said finally. The "darling" coming at that moment was almost too much. To her horror, she found there were tears in her eyes: they were running down her cheeks. She swung sharply away from him. “What’s the matter, Carol ?" His voice had altered, softened. There was a note in it she had never heard before. , "Nothing,” she mumbled, dabbing at her eyes with a handkerchief. . ' He put his arm about her shout? ders and held her against him. They stood like that for several minutes. Still she couldn't stop crying. The more she tried to stop, the more she cried. And then she felt—or it may have been ner imagination—that his tips touched herfhair, lightly, in the softest caress. She didn’t move. He might let her go. "I want you to stay out of this, Carol” he said Anally; “But,how can I?” she argued “You told them it wraa because bf me you’d come out here. I said I’d play up.” •1 know, but that’s all over. It wouldn’t work riow." I “Yoh mean because of Julie?” She turned her face up to his and Went on earnestly, "Jason, please be careful. I—l don’t like Ben Gallet.” \ "Neither do I, frankly,” and his voice was grim: He glanced down at his bandaged right hand, and she intercepted the glance. I ”How did you hurt your hand, I Jason?” f ' He groined again.' “It came into contact With something hard. A gun," he added. , "A gun- But how, Jason? You must tell me.” She reached up her hands and grasped hold of his shoulders, clinging tightly onto them; “Jason," her voice was Rising. “you can’t keep me out of thia —ypu mustn’t!

He insists, however, that the original Lassie still is the star of the close-ups. “I wouldn’t haave that boy at home,” he said. “He’s still the star. The other dogs live in the kennels out ,back, but Lassie lives in -the house.” After hie packed up his dog bischits and moved out of MQM, Lassie was offered other contracts for theater) movies but he" turned them dowd -when he couldn’t get TV rights.
