"When will you be through with you training?’ “In about four weeks " . "Well , look-let me see if I can fix things with Dot. I think I can. In the meantime say nothing and work hard.

Valerie said - When she reached home and let herself int/o the apartment. she was thankful that Dot was asleep and couldn't ask her questions that might have proved embarrassing. She was filled with a feeling of guilt. Though she tried to convince herself that there was no harm in letting Duke bring her home, she was unsuccessful If she had turned him down, that would have been the end of Duke Maxwell. Now- she she had even listened while he sug- gested that she take Dot's place in the Nomad- job. It vras dlsloyai-ail wrong. Before she fell asleep she vowed again that she would have nothing more to do with Duke. (To Be Continued) NEW LONDON W. I. The New London W.
