She Couldn't Say No {Continued from page 73] Jerry Casey was asking for her. They'd brought him in last night. He'd shot it out with Big John, and was in a very bad way. Winnie forgot everything. She brok^ all •>peed records getting to Jerry. Iris was with him, but she went out when Winnie came in. Jerry said weakly, "I had to see you, Winnie. I had to tell you that I understand now. I realize what I should have known long ago. I'd have been the luckiest man on earth to have had you. I wasn't big enough to receive the love you had to offer. I'm going to . . . kick ... the bucket, Winnie. I want to fade out calling you my pal." It's all right, Jerry. Everything's going to be all right." JERRY didn't contradict her He had things to say. Tm glad about the show," he said weakly. "You're the hit of Broadway, just like we always planned. I ... I had seats for tonight." "There'll be lots of other nights, boy." 'Not for me ... I wanted to hear you sing your big hit number. What is it, Winnie?" "It's that old song I started with . . . A Darn Fool Woman Like Me . . . remember? The first one you heard at the Dizzy Club." "Sing it for me, Winnie." Winnie sang it with the tears rolling down her cheeks. Iris, pacing the floor outside, could hear her. When the song ended, she went in. . Winnie was just standing there looking at him. Jerry was dead. He had faded out, saying weakly, "Winnie . . . goodbye ... goodbye, pal." SHE sat in her dressing room with her makeup on. Tommy was there. The manager came to the door. "You're on, Winnie. What's the matter, sick?" Winnie shook her head. Tommy said, "She's all broken up. Some one died ..." "Gee," the manager faltered, "that's too bad. A relative?" "Friend. Fellow named Jerry Casey." "Jerry Casey? Jerry Casey, dead?" Winnie looked up with a dull light in ht r eyes. '"Do you know him?" "He's the man who's backing this show! " "Backing this . , . show?" "Sure. He came to me, offered to put up (he money if I'd give you the l_ead. He made me promise to keep his name secret." Winnie passed her hand over her forehead. There was a vague excitement rising in her. She sobbed, sharply. "He did!" he said, "He did! Tommy, think of it! It's his show! He loved me! He loved me!" The call boy rapped smartly on the door. "Two minutes, Miss Harper." "AH right, son," the manager said. Winnie looked in the mirror and adju.sted her hair, patted her dress down. She was smiling. She turned to Tommy with that smile on her face. "Come on," she said, "let's go. I can't lay down now, Tommy. It's jerry's show. It's Jerry's show, and I'll put it over!" And there was a , light ot quiet happiness shining in her eyes. ' Name This House l^50jp GIVEN! We WiU Pay $500.00 Cash For the Most Suitable Name For This Beautiful Six-Room House ANY NAME may win.
