But they've lu en .snected and it's all very open an -1 a ht we boa rd " ' Who owns these places?" asked Jenny "A holding company. ' said Rich ards. "they've a chain ot them all along the coast. They're leased to ti e men who manage them There's one in t iwn . . . they call it the Purple Parrot.” "That place?” asked Jenny, as tonished I 11 In't know they all hooked together ” '‘'They do Put more than that we car. t tin.I out I went to the Purple Parrot myself the other day. . . . There s nothing unusual about it The routine juke-box. a soft drink liar, a dance floor The kids from that part of town keep it crowded, even in summer, it's air-condi tioned Put someone said that they understood there were slot ma chines in t he back room If so, 1 didn't see any ... 1 went into ( both rooms, on the pretext of look ing fur someone. I talked to the policeman on that beat. He said it was a very orderly place, run just for the kids 1 talked to the man ager. He said they weren't more than making their expenses, but he thought it was a civic duty to run clean, decent places where kids could go and have a gooj time and | be kept oft the streets. They dost at midnight, he told me.” "Do you know him?" •'.No, he isn't a Seahaven man,' said Richards. “The cop — I've known him for years He was in a vim on the force about live years ago and. while they overlooked it an ! kept him on ’.he torce, he never gut his promotion He has a wife and a tig family J Wouldn't put it : ast him to accept protection money Rut we can t prove ,iv thing And at that, maybe we re all wrong Only last night there was an accident. Jenny, out by the Bar nacle . . . kids in a car. T'he boy v\ ho a ns driving was drunk I un derstand that llie manager said that, yes, they d been in his place, that they'd come m, behaved badly, and that he'd put them out." "Who were they?" "No one 1 know." said Richards "They .Jive in the new housing proj ect. The girls work in shops in town, tile buys—” He shrugged ' All under 1? and apparently with plenty of money The hoy who was driving was badly hurt lies at Norlliam hospital. No oilier car was 111X011.011 The kid simply drove into the ditch People living nearby called itie ambulance from Nor tham and the state police. They took the other bov and the two girls to Bert Barton's office Steve was out, hut Doc was there, and he had them fixed up by the time Steve came in. They were taken home." Jenny said. "It’s getting to he a problem, isn't it?" Richards sighed “1 suppose," he said, "this is happening all over the country Kids have more money to spend than ever before. Many of them hardly see their parents from one day to the next. School's out. there isn't even that check on them So they barge around getting into 1 rouble But I'd like to get my hands on whoever sells them the stuff. Because someone does." After supper Steve came by He went up the steps, opened the door and shouted, "Anyone home?” Ede wasn't. She \^as at Agnes Simpson's—this time, thought Jen ny, she was really at Agnes'. Gram was entertaining her old friend, Mrs. Harmon, in the living room, and Jenny was writing letters. She came tearing downstairs She said, "1 am." He said, "I'm going to make a country call Want to rente along ?" She said she'd like lo. She thought. This is where I get the works, and tossed tier head mental ly It would have been easy to say no. she couldn t. she had a date, she was going to the Canteen, she had a headache, or a good book, or Gram needed her. But it was silly to stall. Get it over with. They went off after Informing Gram of their plans, and were not two blocks away when Steve said. "I didn't bring you along for the fresh air. i brought vou to Kive vou thunder and then some.” “Lovely,” Jenny said compla cently. He said, driving at a legal rate ot speed, and wishing he needn't, "About last night—" Jenny interrupted brightly. “I already know Last night some kids hove into a ditch and they took three to your ollicc. . . . Steve, doesn't that make you want to find out what's going on in this town and stop it?” He said shortly, “1 have enough to do without meddling. The kids were tight, yes, the boy told me frankly that he'd swiped a bottle ftom his tattler's supply. That's all there was to it." “A lot of people think these juke box [daces are selling it." "I doubt it," said Steve. “They've been investigated. They are just what they profess to be, places sell ing soft drinks, sandwiches and Ice cream, with a mammoth juke-box and a dance floor. But I didn't bring you here to talk about that. I want j to talk to you about yourself. And j your esteemed boss. I watched you tor a couple of minutes last night. Very effective. Garden," said Steve, "moonlight and roses. Hearts and flowers ..." "So what ?" said Jenny. "So, 1 went walking with Mr. Hathaway and tie was taken romantic and kissed me. What's so world-shaking * about that?" Steve said, '*1 don’t understand you. You're the man’s secretary. And he's mar-ied. That’s Ihe situa tion in a nutshell.” “Habit forming, isn't It ?” said Jenny. "And nutshell is right " He said angrily, “Haven't you any excuse?” “Well," said Jenny cautiously, "1 suppose I could run one up on an old loom. Justice is very attractive. Als'o very rich. Or hadn't his sister brought that angle to your atten tion ?" “What has she got to do with it?" Steve demanded. "Don't shout," said Jenny sweet ly "Nothing at all, as far as I’m concerned." "Go on with your excuses,” he said shortly. "It's war," she said dreamily, "forcing house of emotions. I quote. Also man shortage, or hadn't you noticed? And Justice hasn't much of a wife," she said plaintively. "She's sort of worn thin after four years' absence." He said, “I can't believe my ears. Do you mean to sit here and tell me that you expect he'll marry you?” "I hadn't thought that far ahead," she said. “But. now that you mention it, it's an interesting possibility." Steve said, “1 could shake the daylights out of you. You—you aren't yourself. You've changed . . . incredibly.." She said, “And so have you.” 'To Be l uiitinucd) .
