They were just sneaking out of the place when the floor manager stopped them. The girl felt that it was all up. The man looked slyly at Vanderkill and said, "The management got a load of your dancing, and. with the tickets and all, you win the waltz contest." He shoved a silver loving cup into Vanderkill's hand. Amazement was Written all over Paul's face as he took the prite. "You do something to me," Made^ leine declared as they rode home. "You've done something to me, too--my heart's pounding--my head feels light and I can't think--but 1 feel so alive." The girl was serious. She looked up at him. "Me. too--that's it." He reached over and kissed her tenderly. "You're even sweeter that! I thought." • • Madeleine reached up quietly for another kiss. Her head was against his shoulder, his arm about hers.
