s 1 NUI’SIS “Marriage is like reading a novel without suspense. No matter howcharmed you may be at first with the words, a sustained effort demands little surprises, little moments of not knowing what’s going to happen,” Pamela M arren informed her lovely, young niece, Patricia Braithwait, as they basked in the Palm Beach sunshine. Eight years before the wealthy Pamela had married handsome Jimmie Warren, and. in spite of an overwhelming love, their marriage had palled. Pat is shocked to learn that her father has lost his fortune. Aunt Pam suggests that Pat insure her father's and her own future by marrying the wealthy, middle-aged Harvey Blaine, warning that the glamour of love wears off. Pat goes to an isolated spot, alone, to solve her problem, where she meets a handsome young man who only reveals his first name—Jack. He tells her of his plantation, “Eagle’s Nest”, where he hopes to go some day with the “right” girl. A strange peace envelops Pat in Jack’s company and she wishes the witchery of the moment might continue forever. but—thoughts of her father's financial predicament break the spell. Jack, too, is fascinated by Pat and can hardly resist embracing her. For the first time in her life she wants a man to kiss her. but ... realizing the futility of continuing their friendship, she discourages his suggestion that he visit her. He assumes she is married. Back at the hotel. Pat joins her father, Pani | and Blaine. Mr. Braithwait adores his only ehild. Pat, to whom he has been an ideal companion. CHAPTER SIX Warren, in knickers, golf bag over his shoulder, joined them. “Too hot for golf,” he said. Propping his sticks against a pillar, he plumped himself down on the bannister w-ith boisterous enthusiasm. He was tall and broad, and well made. He had a rough crop of sandy hair, an aggressive nose, a wide smile and clear eyes that drew men by their directness and women by the merry look in them. In conversation he was casual and light. The knifeedged brilliance, the battling ruthlessness of his mind, were reserved for the benefit of juries and judges and the belittlement of prosecuting attorneys. “What brings us together en famille, so to say, at this hour?” he demanded. “My child has but just returned from a search of the highways and byways for a fascinating man,” chuckled Mr. Braithwait. “Needless to say she found him.” Warren’s merry blue eyes turned to Patricia. “Man or men?” “Men, of course I found a man.” “But here we have the cream, hand picked." “Don’t mix your metaphor, Jimmie,” smiled Pamela. “ ‘The cream,' he says," scoffed 1 Patricia, addressing Pamela. “My I dear Mr. Warren—l say Mr. Warren, you being my fourth cousin-in-law, don’t you think it would sound more friendly if I call you Cousin Warren, or something? Aunt Pam taught me to call her Aunt when I was little; but I’m big now and you’re too young to be anybody's uncle, and of course she’s not really my aunt, so ” “Why not call me James, or Jimmie ?” “Well, then, Jimmie, you and Daddy being the only utterly fascinating men in Palm Beach, what is your advice, as a lawyer with loads of experience, to a girl who has been out of school over seven 1 months and has neither been in love nor inspired love in a manly ' breast ? ” Pamela gave Blaine a quick look. He flushed. “Pat, politeness de- | mands that you include Harvey,” she remarked. “And modesty forbids it, he not being » relative.” Patricia retorted :Tm f reanien w fo o musl ’ I’oliice Unearths 30-gallon Still Indianapolis, Aug. 11 - (UP) — Visions cf a gruesome murder and hiding c£ the body in a mound f dirt were seen by city police )s they dug into what appeared to be freshly dac-ked dirt in a woods at the

wait to be made love to by the male of the species.” ’ Warren chuckled. “I can’t make > up my mind, Pat, whether you are i an infant prodigy, or merely a 1 prodigious infant,” he grinned. i “I prefer prodigal. It’s generous. I The other words make me either I improbable or huge. And I don’t • care for infant at all. It sets life 1 back.” ■ A feverish gaiety possessed her. r Her voice, naturally low-pitched s even in hilarity, was in a higher ■ key, her laughter strained an-d ■ rather wild, breaking forth on the I slightest pretext as if she had peri haps been drinking and was in ’ slightly muddled high spirits. Mr. Braithwait glanced at his i child with a puzzled expression. > “Oh, there you are,” called Arthur Savage, slinking out of the I lounge. “Come on, let’s get out of I here,” he hissed. His tired dark ' face and thin lounging figure bent i over her. His posture, voice and expression seemed to say: “Life is a mess. Let’s make the best of it.” He held himself upright by leaning ’ heavily on her chair. , “I like it here,” laughed Patricia. "Ye gods!” Arthur groaned. “Oh, well ” With the air of a man going straight off to shoot himself, I he left her. “There’s a desperate lover for you, if heart breaking is your game,” I grinned W’arren. i “Arthur says I’m Madame de Pompadour, a woman with a blonde • head instead of a red heart,” de- ! dared Patricia. “I crave to be the ! Cleopatra type." Her small pointed i face was unrouged and very pale. “Aunt Pam, you’re the Cleopatra : type.” Mr. Braithwait’a old eyes were 1 twinkling. “All home-wreckers—if ■ that’s your ambition — have had t heads—blonde or dark—instead of i hearts,” he smiled. > Blaine, who had found no oppori tunity to edge into the conversation ' which seemed to him to flit about • swiftly, never lighting anywhere, now took occasion to point out to Patricia that the sea was like green class. “Pardon, Mr. Blaine, what did you say? Oh yes, green glass.” ■ rand opera of the sea, she mused, 'he closed her eyes, letting her mind play with the picture of her- | city’s edge. . i A crime was unearthed. • <A 3u gallon still; two empty five gallon jugs, two automobile license plates and a necktie were found. 1 f c — BIftGAINS — Bargains In Living Room.

self and Jack in a boat rocking on the wash of the waves, his brown i arms about her, strong muscles straining her to him. A sense of singing ecstasy swept her, wave on wave. Watching her lovely young face, Warren saw the revulsion in her eyes as they rested on Blaine, and 1 a surge of unwonted anger swept him. A winter in Palm Beach for her, he reflected, was probably her father’s final spurt —to get her settled. Unaccountably, this'most natural step, one which was recognized as right and proper in his set, enraged him out of all proportion to his usual easy acceptance of his world’s standards. Picking up his golf bag, he walked abruptly away. “Come, Daddy,” said Patricia, springing up. “Let’s go for a walk. I want to have a serious confab with you anyway.” “Oh don’t go,” protested Blaine. “I want to hear more about ” “Perhaps I’ll walk with you later, Mr. Blaine, and I’ll tell you whatever you want to know,” she flung back as she and her father turned away. “There is something about these modem girls,” thought Pamela “that we didn’t have. They take life as they find it, and if they shed a few manly tears, nobody catches them at it. She has shouldered it like a man, and no sentiment, you.” “She refused to walk with me yesterday,” Blaine said elatedly “Do you suppose ” “What the modem girl rejects one day,” Pamela said slowly, “she accepts the next. But if I were you Harvey, and reall.v wanted to win I should not get sentimental. Be matter of fact- ‘Patricia, will you marry me?’—and whatever you do if she consents, don’t try to kiss her, or even touch her.” “But, ye go'i, Pamela, that’s no way to make a proposal.” “It’s the modem way. Besides.” she hesitated. “Besides what?” Blaine was a!) eagerness. Pamela came to a quick decision. “Forgive me. Harvey, but you aren't a romantic figure, you know. You are a middle aged man ” (To Be Continued) © 1932, by King Featurct Syndicate Inr J Ancient Brewery Uncovered 3 Newport, It.
