Chapter 14
The icicle dripped, thinning as
visibly as Cal Sheridan's credulity.
"But, Leta." he protested at
length, "the Lanes are . . .
"Quality?" she asked bitterly.
"Cal, why didn't you mention Al
lene Lane to me when you re
turned?" "Mention her?" He turned puz
zled eyes on her. "Why, Leta, I
hardly saw you. I mean we were
together such a short time after I
returned."
"And whose fault was that?"
"Leta, your voice doesn't sound
like you. Look, dear. Martin
came back with the car; let's run
into town for dinner. I'll drive over
to my plane."
"At the Lanes'?"
"Their field wasn't cleared.
Trot up and dress, dear."
"Dress?" Arleta's laugh was
sharp, but she quickly caught
herself. "You can drop me at a
dress shop while you go to the
plane. I brought only boots and
breeches."
Arlela remembered vaguely the
l.wnl ion of the shop her mother
had patronized, and after a few
false attempts they found it.
She dashed in and then out.
"They'll hold it open, so piek me
up here."
The saleswoman remembered
her mother. She also remembered
Arleta. "My dear," she said, "I
wouldn't have recognized you.
you were such a square child, and
the way you set your heels. Now,
would you like something your
mother would have chosen or "
"Yes," Arleta spoke hastily, "1
would."
"Her taste," the silver-haired
sales-dowager announced, "was
impeccable."
The gray was the gray of a
pigeon's wing, soft, melting. The
skirt flared, the jacket fitted Ar
leta as though it had been de
signed for her. It buttoned to the
collar with tiny silver buttons.
Calvin Sheridan, seated at the
wheel of Arleta's car, saw the
lights of the shop's doorway come
on, saw Arleta step out, "like a
picture out of a frame," he
thought with pride. ,
Arleta whirled in the doorway
and the skirt swirled above her
button-shoed ankles: "Like it?"
she asked Calvin gaily.
"Patrician, Leta," he said, "Pa
trician in every line."
Settled in the car, her gray fur
coat covering her "patrlclaniiess.
Arleta asked. "Do you know of
a decent place? I was too
young "
"Sapphire Room," Sheridan re
marked absent-mindedly.
She might have known.
"Remind me to show you the
newspaper picture of you and
that Miss Lane at the Sapphire
Room."
"What?" The car nearly locked
bumper with the one ahead.
"What photograph? On, mil mere

mean?"
Hostess and guest of honor. A
neighbor inadvertently gave it to
me. Of course your face was a bit
oily with chicken grease and"
"Chicken grease? We didn't
have chicken."
"It must have been something
delectable to have kept you over
an extra week," Arleta said.
"Extra? Oh, that. Didn't I tell
you I'd dropped a vital part of
my engine? Queerest thing, Leta,
I could have sworn it was all right
when I came in on the Lane field,
but"
Arleta heard nothing more. So
it had been a plane's part that
had held him? And Allene Lane
flew? And Cal's plane had been
on her private field?" And How
Kelly had said Allene was so
busy "staking a claim" to Sheri

of one Chips Langtry.
The Sapphire Room. "It's exqui
site." she said, as they stood on
the threshold and looked down a
narrow room, with a cocktail bar
on one side, the other lined "with
lighted, mirror-backed glass cases
upon the glass shelves of which was
the most beautiful collection of
blue glass she had ever seen.

Rather a crowd tonight, ob
served Calvin.
"It is the first night after the
big snow," the liveried person
explained.
Calvin had telephoned for a
reservation. They were conducted
to the table and Arleta was
amazed to hear the calls of greet
ing which flanked their progress.
She'd thought .she was the native
of that country. But no one spoke
to her. No one knew her.
Calvin ordered, and then he
spoke to Arleta. "Shall we go to
the bar? They have a rather
unique show there."
They were back in the long
narrow room, perched upon com
portable leather chairs and, in
stead of looking into mirrors, or
upon a select accumulation of
bottled wares, they looked into a
world of sapphire which scintil
lated, burned, and changed even
as they were looking.

Arleta sipped the sparkling
drink, unaware of anyone around
her until a husky voice used her
name.
"Strutting her stuff as usual.
She was, if you please, so help
me, Arleta Langtry. So this old
beer boy, seeing she simply
couldn't carry her order to the
car, says he'll carry it."
Cal Sheridan seemed frozen to
walling stillness and Arleta hated
the display of a sapphire world.
preferring old-fashioned mirrors
which could reveal the features of
those farther away.
A fresh voice broke In:. "1
wouldn't, Miss Lane."
Arleta saw the voice came
from the bartender and, looking
along the line, saw a long while
hand with scarlet nails pushing a
glass at him.
"I've finished, have you?" Ar
leta's voice was urgent.
"Quite," stated Sheridan.
But they hadn't. As they en

felt a vibration behind them, a
vibration like the swirl of a

Involuntarily they looked back,
and out of the vortex of that
whirlpool came a vision in
brightest flame red.
"Cal." i( cried. "Why, Cal, you
did come back. And after you'd
said you wouldn't."
Calvin Sheridan seemed to
brace himself. "You've met Miss
Langtry. Miss Lane?"
"Miss Langlry." The vision in
red seemed sunk in deep thought.
And then black curls were tossed
back. "Oh yes. You mean Chips.
