ft wa.s later In the evening and all the friends were replete with food and wine. Forgotten was the quarrel between Tito Ralph and Pilon. Good cheer and comiadeship pervaded the place. Suddenly, Pilon bethought himself of something. He sat up. ‘‘You know it's funny,’’ he said to Tito Ralph, "For years Danny has no house. Now he has two. How can he sleep in two houses?” No one answered this unanswerable question. Pilon snapped his fingers. "Danny, I’ve been thinking. You ought to rent the other house. 1 will be the one to take it. I will pay you fifteen dollars." Danny stared. "Where you gonna get fifteen dollars?” Pilon turned to Pablo. "My friend, tell me, don’t you ever get tired of sleeping in the woods, on pine needles with the moon shining on your head? No home, no walls
around you?"
Such a mode of living sounded delightful to Pablo. “No," he said
in surprise.
Pilon was annoyed. "When I slept In the wdods I thought I was happy too. But now that 1 have a sweet little house of my own with a roof and a garden — ah Pablo, this is how to live." He pounced. "Pablo, you want to come and live with me?" Amazed and breathless, Pablo j nodded. "Sure Pilon, sure." "Good. Let’s shake hands on it.” Content, Pilon leaned back in his chair. "You will pay me fifteen dollars a month.” At this, not only the cries of Pablo, but of Danny and Tito Ralph as well, rent, the air. Pablo , pay fifteen a month? Where would
e get it?
Pilon
shrugged. “I don’t know.
We shook hands on it. And when he pays me I will pay Danny.” He turned. “You made a good deal,
Danny Amigo.”
Danny rose, confused. ‘Well, I don’t know." He started for the bedroom. "I think I’m going to sleep now.” Pilon was all for it and headed for the bedroom too. Danny jumped in front. “Nobody sleeps in that bed but me. That’s
my bed."
Pilon stopped dead, hurt to the core. "That’s right," he said martyrlike, ‘Tm only a poor friend, the friend of a-property owner. I knew things would be different. I ex-
pected it.”
Danny was puzzled. “What’s different?" Pilon was nobly silent. Slowly, Danny started to undress. All at once, he blurted out, “I don’t know. I wish you owned this house Pilon — and I could hove come and lived with you.” That night he tossed and tumbled, dreaming that a chain of gold dollars was strangling him around
the throat.
Next morning the clear sky and caressing breezes cheered him up. In company with his friends he ■et out for his second house. They were Just near the gate when along came Dolores. She looked cute with her little tailored dress and high heeled patent leather
shoes.
Danny grinned. "Hello, Sweets. You milk the goats and you wear the clothes too, huh?” She basked in his admiration. •‘This your new house?" “One of ’em. I got two." She was obviously Impressed. “You home at your place tonight?" She laughed and started away. “Hey,” be called, “you didn’t answer me.” She turned around. Her eyes were crinkled with teasing mirth. “Why don’t you answer your ow.questlons?" Danny felt a pleasant glow of victory. Sure she’d be home tonight — for him. Inside the house, an argument started. Danny wondered out loud when he was going to get his

rent from Pilon nnd Immediately, the latter flew
into a rage.
“Rent! Always the rent!” ha shouted. "I set one foot in my house and you itave both hands out.” He turned to Pablo. "Already he wants to force us into tho streets, in the gutters, while he sleeps in his soft
bed. I told you Danny — when Pablo pays me I will pay you." Somehow, Danny couldn’t stand up to such righteous anger. He was plaintive. "But a man likes to have a little money to buy a present, just to start things off — a box of candy maybe." Pilon was alarmed. "You never gave girls candy." What was coming over his friend! A flush mounted to Danny's broad cheekbones. "Well, I thought if I could just have a dollar or
two ..
’ilon turned away with an indifference he did not feel. "Chin Ke« is drying squids on the pier. Why don’t you cut squids for half
a day?"
"Cut squids?” Now Danny was truly outraged. “A man with two houses cut. squids?’’ He turned away in full possession of his new found dignity. "Never mind. Pay me when you get around to it." He went out and Pilon paced the room and said through his teeth, "Not one night will 1 sleep in this house until we have the money to pay this — this landlord his
dirty rent.”
Unaware of Pilon’s Incredible Intentions, Danny sauntered down the path until he reached the water's edge. There he proceeded to make himself comfortable. After all, why not? He had nothing to do until evening when he would visit hts Dolores. It was candlelight time when Dr.nny came to Dolores’ door. She answered hts knock and he said, "1 bet you're falling down from surprise, huh?” Her reply was a provocative 1 shrug. "Maybe yes, maybe no. You want, to come in?” He nodded but as he stepped over the threshold he was thun-der-struck. There was another visitor, a Mr. Jones who wotked in Marden’s vegetable store. Dolores got out the cards to play "hearts" then hurried Into the kitchen to prepare refreshments. immediately, Danny put on his most menacing air. "Listen, Mr. Jones," he ground out, “1 guess ou didn't know Sweets and raa tad tonight all fixed private huh?” Mi-. Jones began to sputter m Danny stuck his jaw out. "Maybs you better go huh? Your health might be better huh’.”’ Agreeing nervously, Mr. Jones got to tha door and Danny called after him, “G’night. See you in the fruit de-
partment."
A moment later though, he decided that women were incomprehensible. Dolores was mad because he had sent Mr. Jones away. What vftie the matter with a girl like
that?
“I don’t understand you Sweets,'' he finally said. “You (fon’t like being private with me, you got a face like peaches, yet you work all day In a sardine cannery and ...say, is that a life?” "I’ll tell you what’s a life,” Dolores said crisply, "a home with everything In it and kids... kids that don't have to pick beans cither." Danny laughed, feeling very worldly. “You got to get a man first Sweets." Yes,” she shot back at him, “a husband I'm crazy about.” He laughed again, with a feeling of uncertainty now. “You want too much Sweets. Forget about the husband part. But lock at me, a man with two houses who never has got to work..." She weis startled. “You don’t work anywhere?" Work? I got no time to work. Besides I rent my small house to Pilon. Fifteen dollars a month." His hands closed around her shoulders, his fingers nipped the soft flesh through her thin silk dress. See? All at once I got my houses, my rent and you come to town." Suddenly, through the window, came Pablo’s voice. “Danny, hey Danny." He ran up panting. “I looked all over. Arc you here?" "Sure. What’s the matter?” Danny demanded. Pablo stood back dramatically "Danny, prepare yourself. YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE!" (Oood fortune has descended on Danny — unexpected riches and the lure of a lovely girl. But now comes disaster.
