"Heavensi 1s that clock right?" Joussey asked, as if she were see- h‘ it for the first time. ,

Probaby it's fast" said Bing, who knew it wasn't.

But she rose and so did he. went back oii deck, back to the moon's influence-not that they had missed it much. The lighthouse winked et them. Bing drew in the tend-

or.

“The Ellen J" he said.

"Isn't that funny -—that's my name" remarked Jonesey. "Ellen-" she checked herself, She had all but told him her true name. "Ellen Jones" she substituted quickly.

"Now I know what the J stands (or, I'd wondered" he commented.

She sat in the tenders stern. her fingers trailing in the water ivhllc the moon did things to her face. She looked at the moon, he looked at her.

"There's been a stray line run- ninr through my mind ell even- ing" he said abruptly. “I can't sccni to place it or finish it. It begins ‘On ‘uch a night'-"

“‘In such s night'," she correct- ed. “It's from the Merchant of Venice". Her voice changed. soft- ened, became inexpressibiy love-

ly. "The moon shines bright: in such a night as this, When the sweet wind did gently

kiss the trees

And they did make no noise, in such a. night

Troilus methinks mounted the Trojan walls

And sighed his soul toward the Grecian tents. Where Cressid lay that night."

As she quoted, unbidden ‘nem- ories flooded her. She suddenly visioned her grandfather in his library. and her voice trailed off ls if dissolved in the moonlight.

Bing said nothing for a moment. He felt moved by some emotion in her without knowing what, it could be. Something to do with some memory, he felt sure. He was at least assured she was no ordinary waitress. and he was riot at all surprised. He had felt iiom the first she was unusual. Besides ho knew college girls sometimes waited on table during their sum- mcr vacations.

"You got more out of Shakes- peare in college than I did" he remarked. .“Coilege" echoed Jonesey. "But I-ncvei- went to one. All I know— about books. anyway-I learned from my grandfather. He—"

IShe could not go on and Bing thought he knew why. She had already said some thing back in the cabin that gave him the idea that both her parents were ilead. From the way she spoke about her grandfather he must have brought her up and from her ex- pression he gathered that her grandfather was deed now too.

So that was why she was a waitress. She had to support her- lrlf. do something, anything, l-le felt s sudden rush of tenderness for her that was akin to an ache. he felt a need to serve her, pro- tort her. He-

"There's the canoe" she nounced suddenly. .

He turned and saw it floating upside down, shifted his course to Dick it up and was so saved from What he realized would have been madness. Not because she Was o waitress. but because she would have misunderstood. What? Well.

he hardly knew himself, But when he had dropped anchor six hours before, he had intended to tum in early. be up ot dawri and get off again. And he no longer in- tended any such thing.

And Jonesey had reason to sus- pect it. 1t was in his voice when he said good night. A note that seemed to ring in her ears as she went stealthily up the back stairs to her room. There she opened the door so-ftly, gently shut it be- hind her and stood stock stiil — breathless. but not from the stairs-

"Well. for the love of Pete where have you been?" demanded an irritated voice from the bed.

Jonesey jumped. “Nowhere in particular" she said hastily.

"It certainly must be a long walk there and back" "remarked Mae. "Don't for heaven's sake turn on the light— there's a million mosquitoes in here ei- ready."

Jonesey had no ‘desire to turn on the light. She feared that Mae might surprise something in her face, harry her with questions, if she did. She moved around in the dark. slipped out of her bathing suit, stood stock still again.

"What are you doing now, pos- ing for Venus-what-you-mll it, or what?" demanded Mae finally. "Aren't you coming to bed tonight? Vilhnt are yo-u mooning about any- way?"

“Nothing” said Jonesey hastily.

But that was a lie. She wns thinking about a lot of things she had completely forgotten while she had been aboard the Ellen J with Bing. A little shiver ran through her and not because the room was any cooler, for it wasn't.

They-she and Bing- had made a beginning. she knew. The sort of beginning that in stories she had read led to something znuch more. But it couldn't, not with her. Ever. It simply must stop just where it was. She couldn't he in- terested in him and she mustn't let him be interested in her.

S0 she decided as. poised on one foot, she miserably thrust the other into a Pajama leg.
