CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE IIKE most events which are i too eagerly anticipated, the picnic was a disappointment. Something had been bothering Barney ever iince they started, and although he made an effort to throw it off and be more natural. Irene could see that he never quite succeeded. They sat in the sand and watched a glorious sunset. They ate their lunch, and Irene talked more than usual to make up for the pilot's unprecedented reticence, but as the darkness gathered about them she, too, fell silent. The wind from the ocean was bitingly cold. She felt lonely and as if he were deliberately pushing her away. It wasn't like Barney. It wasn’t like him at all. Had she discouraged him by the things she had said on previous occasions? She sighed and involuntarily moved a little closer to him, and instantly Barney's arm was around her. "Cold, riarlin’?’’ That was better. Cuddling her head against his shouider. she murmured, Yes!” "Maybe we'd better go home,” he suggested without moving. “Maybe vve had.” she agreed. Sitting within the charmed circle of his arms her heart began to beat so violently she was afraid lest he might feel it. Slowly and majestically a full moon sailed into view. Lighted ships drifted phantomlike across a gold-splashed sea. "What a night!” Barney said. "Don't you wish we were in a plane flying toward that moon?” “It would be wonderful.” • Barney drew her closer. "Remember the promise I made you?” "No!” "Do you mean you don’t want to remember it?” What was he talking about, she wondered, too confused by her own emotions to think clearly. "I promised not to kiss you again until you wanted me to.” How stunid she had been to forget it! That, then, was the reason for his restraint. She had been so sure of her own change of heart that she had not realized Barney might not understand it. Putting her arms about his neck she drew his head down to hers. "I want you to kiss me now,” she whisnered Hungrily his lips met hers, and Irene lr,: t all sense of time in a kiss which swept her into another world. Barney's world of stars and moons and "nimbus clouds.” of joyous adventure and love so sharp that it stabbed rieon into her heart, leaving a wound only he could heal. Never again could it be said of her that she was self-sufficient Her longing for Barney would follow him like a ghost on every flight until he returned to her. Only as she could identify herself with him would there be any peace.

Love was a terrific thing to happen to a girl. No wonder she had fought it. But she could fight it no longer Exhausted and beaten, she lay in Barney's arms and her defeat was sweet. His voice came to her out of the moon-flooded silence with a shock. “I suppose I should feel flattered,” he said. Her dazed eyes opened to the incredible mockery of Barney's laugh. “For a girl who is supposed to be hard hearted, you are certainly everything else but,” the pilot remarked releasing her to light a cigaret.

"Why, Barrney,” she faltered, ! “What do you mean?” "Nothing!” he cried. "Want a cigaret? No? Well, at least I made you admit you like it.” "Like what?” she demanded, attempting to collect her scattered wits. "I don't even know what you are talking about.” "Like to be kissed. That was the original argument, wasn't it?” His words were like a deluge of ice water. They brought her up gasping, incredulous, shocked. ‘ Do you mean to say that’s what you ve been trying to do all this time?” Again Barney laughed. "Why not? Your reputation would be a challenge to any pilot . . "But you said . . .” "Be honest, my sweet! It's been nothing but a delightful game for both of as.” "A game?” How could he talk like that? Without another word the girl drew back and slapped his impudent face. And Barney seized her in his arms and kissed her again long and fervently. "If you ever do that again, I’ll turn you over my knee and spank you,” he threatened. "Now’ put on your hat. I’m going to take you home.” a a a CONFIDENT that he was perfectly capable of doing as he said, she obeyed him. but she was shaking with rage and shame and fear. All the love which had swept her off her feet the first time she saw him was turned into furious, bittei resentment. Silently she followed him to the car. Silently took her place beside him and to his occasional bantering remarks she made no answer. And Barney’s manner did not change until they reached her apartment house. “You thought you could play me for a sap, didn't you? Well, listen,

sweetheart, it can't be done. But we re quits now. We're even.” She still % had no idea what he meant as, blind with tears, she stumbled from the car. refusing his help. ■ Don’t come with me. I can go by i myself.” Ignoring her protest, he accom- | panied her to the door before he said good-night. Irene did not close her eyes until dawn. How could she, a registered nurse and a girl who prided herself on her ability to read character, have been so mistaken in a person? She had been certain that he was falling in love with her. Positive that he, like herself, had been overwhelmed by an attraction which though on that first occasion he had admitted he was doing a little private investigation, she hadn't dreamed it had continued to be his motive. His conduct tonight simply didn't click with any of her previous experiences with him. He had been different all evening. Only his embrace had been the same. Forcing herself to admit she wanted him to kiss her, then laugh- , ing at her as if she were as cheap- ; ly promiscuous as Eve. At the very moment when the full realization of j all love might mean had dawned upon her. Barney had insisted that | it was just a game. a a a IRENE had thrown herself fully dressed across her bed.

: own heart and confide in no one, but when any man tried to make love to her again she would laugh in his face. And she would go out with Steve or Tom Merrit or anyone, that is, but Barney. A short life but a merry one, she repeated with tears rolling down her cheeks. To prove it, she telephoned Pete the following morning and spent the day with her on a former patient's yacht, cruising about the bay. There were men, plenty of them, and several were interested in the little air stewardess with the startling blacklashed green eyes. Irene was the gayest of all the girls who had been invited to amuse the masculine guests of the wealthy owner of the boat. It was the kind of party she would have scorned to go on once. She had refused such invitations when Pete, who made the most of her rare vacations, had urged her to come along. Pete asked with surprise, "What’s the matter with you today? If I didn't know’ what a little Puritan you are. I'd say you were drunk.” Maybe I am. You can get drunk on other things besides liquor. You ought to know that.” “I know it only too W’ell,” the hard-boiled nurse retorted. "Just the same, if you don't watch your step, I'm going to take you home.” (To Be Continued) Luncheon Set Mrs. George Swaim, chairman of union activities for the auxiliary to Indianapolis Post, American Legion, has announced that a luncheon and bridge party will be held at the Columbia Club Tuesday.
