She imagined she would need privacy and seclusion, for she was afraid she might not have an easy time in getting Tommy to agree to the proposition she was going to present to him. So far Tommy had left everything to her, but she would have to have his co operation in this. He would have to give it to her. she fijssolved, even if she had to hit him over the head to make him cooperate. She knew that Tommy was beginning to be sick of their bargain. She knew, too, that he was not the sort to stand, for long, this being used for a foil —as Marg would have phrased it. He had already broken over in sending Tibby those violets, but Steena would see to it that he did not break over again. Young Doctor Dare was on time. |He arrived on the dot of 8 o’clock. He arrived looking eager and yet rather grim. The eagerness was due to what Steena had said over the phone, that she had something to tell him about Tibby, something he wanted to hear. The grirnness came from his determination to put an end to this silly campaign that he somehow—he could not be lieve of his own free will entirely —had got involved in. It was silly business, this sneaking around to meet Steena in a corner drug store when what he wanted to do was to go straight to Tibby and have everything out and over with. He should have realized by now that S t e e na’s determination matched—and rather out-did—his. It was stamped on her lovely face now, in the brightness of her green eyes, the set of her beautiful, cruv. son mouth. I might as well come right to the point,” she said, after they each had ordered a soft drink as a reasonable excuse for occupying the booth. ‘ The reason I asked you to come out and meet me here. I want to announce our engagement, Tommy. I want it to be in the pa pers tomorrow — in black and white.” That would be tangible proof indeed for Wayne Courtright. and a soothing salve for Steena’s wounded pride. Had she actually hit Tommy over his nice blond head, he could not have looked more stunned. His mouth fell open, he stared at her as if he thought she had suddenly gone crazy, all the eagerness left his blue eyes. 'Our engagement!” he finally blurted out. ‘‘But we aren’t En gaged. In the papers! Good heav ens—that would never do!” ‘‘Of course we aren’t engaged.” Men were so dumb, Steena decid ed. They were supposed to have the brains. “But we can pretend we are, can’t we, in order to end this campaign once and for all?” “End it!” That was what he wanted to do all right, but he could not see that this would help It would only make him more in volved than ever, make things more difficult to explain to Tibby. "Certainly it will end it,” Steena said, her green eyes narrowing. She had been afraid Tommy might prove difficult. She should have gone ahead and given the an [nouncement to the papers “herself, but she had been afraid to go quite that far without telling him. “That’s the plan I spoke of,” she told Tommy. “It’s the only way to bring Wayne and Tibby to their senses. If they both think we are going to marry someone else— each other—they will do something about it.” She wished she were as certain of that as she sounded. What if Wayne did not do a thing? What if he did not care if she married someone else? No doubt Tommy was thinking the same thing. He said, “It sounds like a goofy idea to me, like carrying things a bit too far.” What if he had to go ahead and marry Steena? Good Lord! This was worse than getting involved. It looked to him almost like a trap. Steena said, “You promised to leave everything up to me. I think you’ll have to admit I’ve managed very well so far. You admitted Tibby acted differently toward you the last time. That proves I know what I’m doing, if you’d only leave everything up to me.” “You said you had something to tell me about Tibby,” Tommy re minded. He took a huge gulp of his drink; he felt he needed it, for he had a sneaking feeling that he was trapped already. You couldn’t argue with a woman. You couldn’t put down your foot and refuse to go on with your part of a bad bar gain, not when the woman would not let you get out of it. but kept dragging you farther and farther on in. He wished he never had been such a sap as to agree to let Steena run this campaign. Her way was not a man’s way of doing things. “I HAVE something to tell you.” Steena took a long slow sip of her cool drink. “I hinted to Tibby, just to see if this plan that you term goofy might be feasible, that we might possibly become engaged. it was her reaction that made me see it was the very best thing we could possibly do.” That was true, in a way. Of course, the gift, with its accompanying note from Wayne had been a deciding factor, too. “What was her reaction?” Tom-j my wanted to know. He did not like the idea of Steena’s even hint, ing to Tibby, but that was what he meant by the way a woman hand led things. "I could see that it upset her,” Steena said. “Considerably. I could see, Tommy, that she cares for you, even though she may not realize it yet herself.” That was the big news that was supposed to be what he wanted to hear, but it did not seem to cheer Tommy up very much. "A lot of good that does me,” he said He wanted something much more tan gible, something much more ef fective and conclusive than Siee na’s suppositions. It seemed to him she was too upset, where he was concerned, as it was. “It will,” Steena prophesied. "You have to be patient. You have to wait for the final results. Also you must remember that I am in this too, not just you and Tibby. You promised to help me out with Wayne. He has GOT to think that I am going to marry someone else.” This was the main issue, the only arrow left. If it failed in its mark, then the whole campaign was a DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1.

Steena would have to give up, but she would not give up with, out this last “blitz.” “I still don’t like the idea.” Tom my protested. He liked it less and less the more he thought about it. Tibby would never understand, he felt sure, his getting engaged, even for her special benefit, to another girl, and so soon after he had pro posed to her. “You don’t have to like it,” Steena sounded cross. “All you have to do is see if it won’t work. The reason I asked you to meet me here is that I want to phone the papers before 9 o’clock, sc the announcement will be in the morn ing editions. It’s nearly nine now— ; two minutes of, so I think I'd bet- • ter do it right away.” She pushed back her emptied glass to get up. Tommy pushed his aside, too. It collided with something, fell over, rolled onto the floor and broke* He felt as if the broken glass repre sented himself. "Okay,” he said, all grimness now, the eagerness having been wiped out. "But this IS the last stand. If it doesn’t bring results, you’ll have to re lease me from my part of the bargain, Steena.” From the en gagement, too, he should have added. What if she wouldn’t let him get out of that? What if he had to marry the girl? Then he WOULD be sunk. He should have had that plainly understood before it was too late, but Steena already had left the booth. She was in the telephone booth now, calling up the papers so that the morning editions would carry a notice of the engagement I of Steena Winters to Dr. Thomas Dare—in black and white. 2 (To Be Continued) RFC IS Prepared To Purchase Scrap WASHINGTON, May 27— •'A>'_ Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones told the House Interstate Commerce Committee today that the RFC was prepared to purchase and reclaim scrap rubber and that a government program, including a price for scrap, would be an nounced in a few days.
