CHAPTER III
fpHE sight of Jean Reynolds car
parked before his shop brought
Johnny back to reality with a
lurch. In his hunt for Molly
Travers he had forgotten all about
the letter he meant to write to
Jean telling her their love affair
was finished.
When she turned and faced him
he realized again how pretty she
was. Her brown eyes clear with
honesty and her mouth soft with
love end understanding. Her
clothes were simple. The cameo
at the throat of her white blouse
was like a jewel In a satin box.
HI ya she said In the exact
tone she used when her cocker
Barky returned from his airing.
Youve certainly turned out a
trusting soul in your old age. The
door was wide open. I sold two
of your silly snoods.
Thanks he answered mechan-
ically. Jean was standing before him
her arms around his neck waiting
for a kiss. Johnny took her face
between his two hands looked
down into the depths of her trust-
ing eyes and despised himself.
He kissed her but she drew
back from him as if she sensed
the difference in that kiss.
Johnny what's happened? she
asked in a small frightened voice.
Johnny sat down on the sea
chest He kept his eyes on the
floor while he answered.
Jean I came down here to
(.'link it all over.
Jean sat down beside him. She
put her arm around his shoulder.
The arm comforted him and gave
him courage. Think what over?
Dont tell me the doctors have
given you six months to live!
Til live all right It's
glrL
TTE was astounded at the relief
with which Jean answered
Naughty naughty Johnny. Re-
member you cant have any other
gal. Youre engaged to me. So
tell her the truth.
Sony Jean its not that easy
for me. He turned and faced her
for the first time. It's all over
between us my dear between you
and me I mean. I've met a girl
who makes me see that. She's the
kind of a girl dreams are made of.
Joan took the blow standing.
Johnny saw her put her hand to
her forehead rumple her hair as
she did when disturbed. She
didn't weak for a minute. She
picked up her -purse and began
to scramble through lb
Here's a cigaret Jean he said
and lighted it for her. Say some-
thing. Tell mo Im a fool. Tell
me Im a heel. But don't just
stund there looking at me. He
was angry but he couldnt explain
why.
Shut up Johnny she said
sternly drawing long drags on her
cigaret I can't think straight yet.
. Did you know her before you
came down here?
No Johnny told her. I came
down hero to think. I didnt feel
right about that job your dad
offered me and about us maybe.
X don't know.
1 She glassed over that point
Oh you were Jagged because of
exams and gutting your degree.
- Things would have brightened in
a week or so. But this girt
Johnny. Who is sh e? Does she
love you too?
- Biles sn apprentice at the
Theater. I dont know whether
ah a loves me or not he answered
as if that were unimportant -
Good heaven it's not one of
those things? I thought you gave
up crushes the summer you were
gaga about Sally Rand."
.-.Her attitude annoyed Johnny.

Miss Oleta Wilmoth daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Wilmoth.
Her marriage was Tuesday eve-
ning in the First Baptist Church
of Chickasha.

mother's wedding ring and sl.

from her sister Mrs. Donald Webb.
The brides train was carried
by her niece Donna Webb who
wore a dress of yellow Imported
Swiss. The maid of honor was
Miss Roberta Wilmoth who wore
blue organza made with a basque
Jean was standing before him her arms around his
neck waiting to bo kissed.
''Johnny what's happened?" she asked in a small
frightened voice.
He retorted angrily So youre!
jealous? But then this Is the old
triangular situation. You might as I
well jump in your jalopy ana git
for home.
Jean laughed. You flatter your-
self Dim Juan. But give me credit
of a little curiosity. I want to see
this angel-puss who could sweep
you up to the stars sprinkle you
with moonbeams so that you dont
even need Jeannle to pull up a
cloud or two to tuck you in.
Johnny didnt answer her so she
shrugged picked up her hat and
said Gby. I'm at the Meltons'
if she wants to kill a few birds.
Theater people always adore
meeting everybody. Each one for
the money; two for the show!
"That's right Get sarcastic. Its
so becoming. Don't suppose you're
going my way?
CHE let him drive the ear just
os she always did. But she
kept interrupting his thoughts
with Look the Arnolds have
come" and "Theres Willis Mack
Johnny. I cant wait to see his
new wife. Sue Melton says shes
a knockout
When he slammed I'm door after
him she slid under the wheel and
held out her hand. She looked
straight at him but he saw that
her ehin was quivering. He hoped
he wouldnt cy. That always
undid him completely.
But Jean Reynolds didnt cry.
She threw the ear into gear
rushed the motor while her foot
was still on the clutch.
I hate her Johnny Regan truly
I do. But I can't figit bade. I'm
so used to letting you have what-
ever you wanted though a dream
girl is a little out of my line. But
if I find out she doesn't love you
Johnny and youre waiting all
that romance theres going to be
fur flying. You'd better warn
her.
Johnny wasnt angry any longer.
She was seeing It the logical way.
nut's right Jean be a sport
And youll be in love again your-
self pretty soon. Ours was Just
kid stuff.
Jean looked at him without
mirth. "Dont be a half-wit

JOHNNY went inside. He'd wast-
J ed a lot
lot of time easing things
off with Jean. He took a quick
shower put on a dean bush-coat
and combed his hair. He tried not
to think about his talk with Jean.
Johnny rented taro bicycles
bought four sandwiches and was
on the doorstep of number 43
Cottage at 7 o'clock. Ha had
plenty of time then to mull over
the situation for Molly kept him
waiting.
They climbed upon their bi-

They climbed their wheels and
coasted down hill.
Molly was watching the road
carefully but she answered And
I imagine all the wealthy people
here in summer make things

Johnny frowned. Hed been so
used to accepting the Cape and
its summer folk that he resented
even Molly considering the money
that bought the boats he sailed
the station wagons he drove cas-
ually around.
Theyre all swell. They don't
think about their money. Youll
see that when you meet them.
