They .promptly ail in love but Sky, noticing their guilty infatuation telle them that to forget each other they must see and remember each other. The plan works in re verse however. Linda and Jeff elope. Sky accepts the marriage philosophically. Six months later, Linda and Jeff are sailing for Europe on a belated honey moon. But Jeff is again de layed by Mclntyre, his per petual bogey, a million dollar advertising account. The boat is just pulling out when Jeff shows, up at the pier. It is the last straw and Linda gets an interlocutory decree of divorce. Copyright 1939 by Locw', lac. Chapter Three (.Conclusion) The countryside was In full blos som and as Linda walked through the garden with Sky, she let out a small whoop. "What a wonder ful day to spend Sunday." Sky stole a glance at her. "Oh boy! Do I eee a beautiful girl." He reached over and took her hand. "Honey just two more weeks and you'll be Linda Broneon again. Linda, will you "He stopped, for there was Jeff, pushing his way through the garden party guests. His eyes were all aglow aB ha held out his hands to Linda. "Are you all right?" She backed away and nodded coldly. "Why of course. I'm quite well thank you." His face clouded. "I don't un derstand. Why did you send for me? say that you needed me " "I certainly don't need you. I've been doing quite well without you." At that, Jeff flared. "Well, you don't think I came here juet for one of your Aunt Lettie's burnt steaks, do vou?" Linda couldn't bear It. "Excuse me, please, I'm leaving." But Jeff beat her to it "You don't have to go. I'm getting out of here myself. He Jumped up and was just rushing past the garden arbor when Aunt Lettie stopped him. "Of Jeff I'm so glad that my telephone call worked," she gur- fled, "I did so want you and Jnda to get together again." He glared at her. So she was i the one who had pulled that dumb stunt. Imagine a woman of her age, going around imitating peo ple's voices on the telephone. "Sure we're together. She's go ing her way and I'm going mine. 'SSoodbye." .All the next day, Jeff couldn't seem to get a hold on himself.

Jell and Linda sat down in etiri strained attitudes and Sky left for the kitchen. Once there he pro ceeded to mix the cocktails. Final ly he-.brought out the Memothene, and dumped a little of the powder into two of the glasses. His hand was trembling. One thing was cer tain. Within twelve hours they would both be in a state cf com plete forgetfulness... At noon the next day Sky got a telephone call from Miss Wilson, Jeffs secretary. At her frenzied tones, his hair stood on end. "Oh Mr. Ames," she sobbed, "You've got to come over here right away. I don't know what to do. It's terrible." She hung up and Sky tote out. She was waiting in Jeffs outside office When Sky got there. "He's in there. Oh I'm so relieved you're here, Mr. Ames, she whimpered. "He's got the whole office upside down. We don't know what's hap pened to him since yesterday. He's Issuing orders right and left but tneyre ait wrong. He seems to have forgotten everything for Linda. "Psssst pssst " Jeff was nudging him. "There's the most beautiful girl I ever saw in my life." She rose and came toward them. Then Sky was dumbstruck. Just as on mat aay eigm monms ago, she threw her arms around him and kissed him. "Sky," she said re proachfully, "you're a fine one. Remember on the boat yesterday? You said one o'clock sharp," Sky ehook his head to clear it. The dose of Memothene had taken Linda right back to the place where Jeff's memory had left off too. She and Jeff began to talk and pretty soon they were saying all the same old things in the same old way they'd 'said them the first time. Sky looked up as the waiter brought a portable telephone. "I beg your pardon, I have a telephone call for Mr. Holland." "Dont go away,". Jeff told Linda. He picked up the receiver. "Yeah? Oh yes Miss Wilson," he said to his secretary. "Mr. Ames Is here. Yes, I'll teU him. He'll leave right away. Thank you." He turned to Sky, Miss Wilson says your office has been looking all over town J ! V 1 H IkJW-' I "Thit i( my wife, I 1 lr- I 1 yj.

"We've been trying to reach you all over town. When Mc lntyre gets back tonight and finds out what's happened with Holland's advertising campaign, he'll hit the ceiling " Sky nearly hit the ceiling. "I'll be right over," he said in a strang led , voice, He rose. "Listen, some thing awful must have happened at the office. I've got to run. Now don't either of you let the other out of your sight until I get back. I won't be long . Linda and Jeff spent the rest of the day window-shopping and bus riding. Then . Linda went home to change. Their plan was for her to meet Jeff at his apartment at eight and from then oa, a gala evening. Jeff was all dressed and In the living room that evening when the d52t PMd and Sky burst ia. "Jeff, Tve been looking all over town for you. What did you do with Linda?" - adSdr,eff turnfd away guilt ily. "Oh I took her home t Th doorbell rang and the butler bnfed to Unda, ''Welcome Madame.

"AiMI WHea they were alone, Jeff said, fa an awed voice, "Linda, did you ever believe In love at first sight?" "And did you have a sort of feeling that we had something sort f in common. I mean did you feel almost as if we'd known each other a long time? Did you even feel as if you'd never felt the same way about anybody else before ever in your life?" He tilted her chin and looked deep Into her eyes. "Tell me, did you?" She laughed and it was like the lovely sound of chimes. "You know something? I did." "You know Something?" Jeff said tensely, "I love you." He kissed her fiercely. Then he released her for a second. "Let's get married." Before she could answer he had1 crushed her lips again. This tune: she looked up and her answer wa in her smile. "Tonight. Now," Jeff whispered. "But what about Sky?'.' "We'll sneak out the back. He won't even know," Judge Milliken, himself, in pa jamas and bathrobe answered the door an hour later. In the light of the porch lantern he -blinked at them. "Oh Judge," Linda gurgled, "thi is Jeffrey Holland. You eee, v want to get married." The Judge gaped. "Get married? But a ceremony isn't necessary. All you have to do is to start liv ing together." i Linda and Jeff goggled at him. Then Jeff said sternly, "Well Judge, I thought men like you v ere supposed to uphold the morals of the community." The Judge swallowed hard. "In that case, of course, Fd be glad to perform a ceremony." Getting married and driving back to town didn't take more than an other hour altogether. Sky was waiting for them at the door. "Where've you been," he demanded. "Getting married," Linda sang out. "But but you couldn't." Jeff hung his head. "I know vou ; think I'm a heel Sky but wo i iust couldn't help it. I don't know now it happened. The door burst open and sud denly Mclntyre stormed in. His i face was a beet red. He marched I to Jeff. "Listen, you deliberately did something today against my in structions." "Mr. Mclntyre," Sky put in des perately, "Maybe I could explain." "Let me finish. Holland, you started a new campaign for Mc Intyre's Health Tonic when it was as dead as a doornail. You took out ads in all the papers todav without my knowledge and " He grinned from ear to ear, "It was the greatest stroke of ad vertising genius I've ever come across. This afternoon, the Medical Association came out and endorsed old-fashioned tonics like ours as the best remedy for fatigue among our modern city workers. Con gratulations, Jeff.
