CRESCENT CARNIVAL I

mucus PAIKISON nevus

(Continued)

The old yellow-clapboard club- house, rising up over the water. looked very pretty when they went into it. Julia Bears party. a larm one. was already assem- bled at the table next to Stella's. so Stella went over to speak to Draw for I moment. to tell him it would be all right about Splendida. He was acting as host for Julia. sitting at. the big round table. and Mrs. Harold Baird. the beautiful bride evEF.V0ne W35 talking about. was sitting at his right. because Julia's party has being given in her honor. Stella felt. as if Drevw were also very much aware of Evelyn's beauti- so suvperconsciorus of ii. i"de9d- that he did not want anything t0 interrupt his emoyment of it.

now even a swift word with an.

he was delighted but. just the same. in spite of his lawless man- ner. she knew he would rather have had her wait to tell him later in the evening when he came to dance with her. Stella; had grown so fond of Drew that! she hated to think Evelyn's beauty could create even the smallest sort of strain or es- trangement between them. But she did not have much time to brood over that at the moment. It was a rackety party. anyway. not conducive to serious thought. When seven hundred people were snapping pazper caps and jing- ling rattles and ringing bells. you did well it you could concen- l irate on the song you were going to sing pretty soon in the old- laSl1lDflPd skit. and onr the few. graceful words you would have. to say into the loudspeaiker when? the Commodore gave you your: cup. and so on. Especially if all; the time you were thinking ter-I ribly hard about your boy frifndl and that he uasn'i there with you. y

But in spiw of Steilas prob-l Ienqs, Evelyn and her beauty ill-I truderl themselves on her notice

very soon again. after all. For the minute the band renlly got into action, Stella. saw that Drew was on his feet and that Evelyn

was. too. before anyone else at their table or any other hsd moved. They danced off to-

gether. laughing into each other”: 4.-rs and forgetting. apparently, a about Julia. with whom Drew. according to an unwritten low, should have had the first dance. not to mention Harold Baird, with whom, according to much more solidly established custom. Eve- lyn should have had it. Stelll turned her head away so that she would not see them laughing into each oiher's eyes as'they danced very close togethe . then. just as Gail signaled to her that thcy ought to be up and about it themselves. one of the waiters came and told her she was wanted on the telephone- that Baton Rouge was calling. Gail spoke to her almost crossiy. "You can't go to the telephone now. Stella. You know it's way on the other side of the lounge.”

”Ilve got to take this call. Let. me :0, Gail.''

"You don't suppose I'm going to let you strike out by yourself. do you. since you insist on going? If you stalked out on me. right at the beginning of a dance like that. everyone would think we'd had a quarrel or something."

"Oh. for "the luvamlkei Come along then! But you don't need to stand with your ear glued to the outside of the booth when we get there."

It seemed to Gail that Stella was fairly flying across acres of slippery floor. dragging him after her. since he would not let her go without him.

Stella had finally shaken her- self free from him: she had gone into the telephone booth and banged the door after her. Gail did not stand with his ear glued to the telephone booth. but he was near enough to it to see her face brighten as she picked up the receiver. Then the expression changed to one of horror. though the excitement grew. She cried out once. in unbclieving agita- tion. After that she listened in- tently. asking only a few tense, terse questions from the frag- ments of which Gail could make

neither rhyme no: reason. when she came out of the booth at last. she started straight down the corridor toward the lobby at the same flying pace with which she had crosed it before. so that Gail had to catch hold of her arm to

keep up with her. And again she whipped out her words in short. sharp, alarming senten-

CEI.

"Huey Long's been shot. In the Capitol com-idor. between the House and Senate. By a Dr, Weiss. Who's already been pol- ished off by Huey'a bodyguard. H!-I9y's in a bad way himself. Raoul was in the corridor. He saw it all happen. He think; he was the first person to get to a telephone."

They had reached the small cufobyholc of the club secretary in their mad dash back to the

ballroom. Stella stopped and hailed that long-suffering and lhunderstruck functionary. "Huey

Long's just been shot." she said. He's probably dying. I've had an

ofvflcial message from Baton Rouge. Representative Bienvenu. of Vermilion Parish, who tele-

phoned me. thought you'd prob-

ably want it announced over the loudspeaker in the ballroom." she spoke proudly. alter th manner of a trusted messenger to whom an important tat ha: been confided and who is eager to show that the confidence in

well placed. (To be Continued)
