"I couldn’t desert my public.” Ju
dith laughed again.
"Well, I asked you.” Gilbert was
uneasy. But Judith ignored this.
Somehow the fact he was to be away
■relieved her. Nothing could happen
to Spencer now, with Gilbert gone. It
was ridiculous the way this idea
haunted her. As though Spencer,
who was so grave and quiet when
they danced together now, was in any
real danger.
Gilbert left. Spencer came, at Ju
dith’s invitation, to the Golden Bub
ble tl»e first Monday night of Gil
bert’s absence. It was as usual a.
thin crowd, a little glum, exhausted
from its week-end. She danced with
Spencer a good many times.

he remarked; "good tough ones, too.

"We get them now and then," she
replied; "gangsters go slumming up

slumming down in Harlem.”
"Maybe so. But Monday night’s a
queer night for them to come.”
She thought little of the conversa
tion then, but it came back to her in
the nights that followed. The Golden
Bubble had never been a. rendezvous
for the very rich or fashionable, but
it had never been an underworld
hangout either. Now night after
night the tables were filled with a
species of men and women foreign to

"Yep. I’m sorry, but you’ve got too

the way times are now.”
"When do you want me to leave?”
"Stay another week, I’ll have
something new by then, some torch
singer to bunt ’em up.”
Judith’s smiled was forced. "Then
I'd bettea* look for another job, had
n’t I?"
"I would. But maybe il won’t
be so simple."
-She didn’t believe this. She’s had
good notices. She knew some of the
right people. Her dancing and
singing had improved, and, more
than that, he had acquired the pro
fessional manner now. Getting an

She began her round early in the
week with no doubts at all.
But she got nowhere. The right
people were evasive, The clubs, even
their choruses, were filled, needed
no replacements or additions. ‘Come
in again in a couple of weeks.”
"Leave your number with the tele
phone girl.” "We’ll call you up if
there’s an opening.” "Yes, your work
is fine, but we don’t need any one
right now.”
She was amazed, dismayed. Just
when things had seemed smooth
sailing, to have this happen. Nights
at the Golden Bubble were more
difficult. She wondered if she was to
get through this week without some
open brawling in the club, directed
against her, for it was true the un

tonight. She wouldn’t dance with
Spencer at all if she could help it.
He was there. He had his own
table now, back near the exit. He
always sat there Saturday nights.
He’d wait for her to come to speak
to him, as she always did. The revue
was over. She made her way to
Gilbert’s table.
"Good trip?” she asked.
"Happy ending,” he answered,
"seeing you again.”
She sat down. The fear grew.
"Gil,” she said, leaning close to
him, "have you got a gun?”
He lifted his eyebrows. "Gun.
Why should I have a gun? Feel for
yourself.” He lifted his arms and
she touched the pockets of his coat.
They were empty of the horrid flat
ness she had expected to find.
"Well,” he demanded, "Satisfied?”
"You haven’t one, anywhere?”
He shook his head, smiled a lit
