"We Are Not Alone
FROM THE NOVEL BY JAMES
HILTON
THE girl, it seemed, had missed her cue for the whirl- wind dance business, and nobody had had time to find out the reason for her absence until after the last curtain, when a locked door and a smell of gas had been reported.
The door was easily opened with the key of another door; then the girl was found, sprawled over a couch, half- dressed in the costume of her act, unconscious and breath- ing heavily in the tainted at- mosphere. David took in the scene professionally. "Noth- ing to be alarmed about," he said.

"Der kleine Doktor an, jedem Freitag!"
He sat beside her, rebandaging the wrist trying to think of German words. "You must take care. This is bad... Am I hurting you now? You should have rested-I told you that... You mean you' danced with your wrist in this condition?"

"No one." "Is that why you are unhappy?" All at once tears began to roll: down her cheeks, streaking the grease paint; she didn't make sound, and there was no movement but that of her tears. Neither did David move, but his stillness and silence had compassion. After a pause she killed. He asked the reuson and took to his

"You're not really tired of life. You're tired of pain and jonel!- ness and hopelessness. You don't really want to die. The time to die is when you have something to die for the time to be tired of life is when life is fred of you."
They left the pier and threaded through the crowds on the still friquented Promenade, He led her to her lodgings, an apartment house dingy even for a back street In a seaside town. He imagined that would be the end of their meeting, but at the house there was a surprise.
By some lightning spread of gossip, the landlady had learned of happenings at the Pier Pavillon, with the result that she stood truculently in the front hall, hips and lips tightened. "I'll have no sosicides in my house!" came her Immediate grecting, as David help- ed the girl up the flight of steps to the
porch. "No turning the pas on here and blowing us all up while we're in our beds! Here's your bag--you can take it and go! And that's your gentleman friend I hope he knows all about you!"

He could think of nothing but to take the girl away immediately, which meant to walk to the cab stand at the corner and drive some- where; but of course the caban wanted an address, and the only one that occurred to him, on the spur of the moment was, the Hotel Victoria, where he intended to stay himself, and where he occasionally stayed before. So they drove there, the girl by this time so desperately tired that she could hardly stand up in the hotel lobby.
