SYNOPSIS Fear that Bill McGee, the racketeer, would wreak vengeance on her and her family if she refused to go out with him, caused lovely Patricia Warren to accept his invitations. Bill is shot by a rival gangster while in Pat's company. Pat rushes home in terror and her stepmother puts her out, saying the police are looking for Pat. Unable to find employment, Pat resorts to her card skill and plays professional bridge. Julian Haverholt, noted bridge expert, makes her his partner. While they are discussing business details at his home, Clark Tracy, the polo player and Pat’s secret love, calls. She had met him once but he does not recognize her. Haverholt introduces Pat as his niece. She is indignant. but he explains later that he was thinking of her reputation and that it would be advisable for her to assume that role as long as she is to stay at his home. Accustomed to poverty, Pat revels in the luxury of her surroundings. Reading an announcement of Clark's approaching marriage to Marthe March, Pat experiences pangs of jealousy. Following the settling of a bridge argument. Haverholt wants to give Pat a gift to celebrate their coming to an agreement. She selects a roadster like Marthe March’s. Noting Pat’s disappointment when Clark goes away with his fiancee's family and breaks an appointment to teach her how to drive. Haverholt asks her if she is in love with Clark. She denies it. Days go by with nothing but bridge and Pat is exhausted. The great test comes when Pat and Haverholt enter a tournament sponsored by Reuben Blair, Haverholt’s bitter rival. CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR They reached the hotel. The club rooms were on the fourteenth floor. Somehow, Patricia had expected unusual excitement in the lobby. There was none. The Hotel Winston, a smart Park Avenue hotel, accepted the fact of a major bridge tournament with surprising equanimity. One or two of the clerks recognized Haverholt and whispered about him and his young companion; that was all. “There isn’t much bally-hoo. is there?” said Patricia, when they were waiting for the elevator. “Reuben Blair’s wa y of doing things,” commented Haverholt disgustedly. “He thinks the press is vulgar. I’d have this hotel simply boiling with reporters, I’d have crowds in the street, I’d have ” “A brass band in the lo*bby?” mirpested Patricia. “Not quite that," conceded Haverholt, unsmilingly. “But, the day is coming and Blair will have to see it, when contract bridge will belong not to the few but to the public." “And you will be king of it all?” "I am king,” admitted Haverholt simply. They stepped into the elevator and swooped upward. “By the way,” said the bridge expert casually, "Clark is back from Aiken. He may be on hand tonight. I thought it best to warn you.” “Why?” she asked calmly enough. “I was afraid his presence might upset your play.” “Then, you were quite wrong,” Patricia told him. But, her heart had set up the old wild tumult and her hands were as cold as ice. The fourteenth floor was jammed. Ballyhoo or no ballyhoo, the real bridge lovers of the city and their satellites had managed to collect there. The velvet-carpeted, softly lighted corridors giving on the ?ard-rooms milled with men in evening dress and bright-eyed, eager women. It was a cosmopolitan, typically N # e w York gathering; there were society people pausing

between dinner and the theater, a dowager or two, splendid in jewels, reminiscing of the days of bridge ( whist, several actresses, not really interested in cards, but anxious to be seen at so smart an eesMion, a sprinkling of the more reputable politicians, present by invitation, drifting uneasily here and there, a movie magnate, alert for color, a famous writer looking bored and self-conscious, waiting for his wife to complete her conversation. Professional bridge players, of course, in the majority. Tension and excitement were in the air. People were laughing and talking, placing bets with each other on favorites for the evening, discussing the most extraordinary hand I ever held, my dear. . .. Immediately upon their appearance Patricia and Haverholt were besieged. Patricia acknowledged introductions to dozens of people. She smiled at the movie magnate, she shook hands with the famous writer, she accepted the good wishes of a sloe-eyed, exotic actress, who had closed in the most successful play of the season just last week. Patricia felt herself carried along by a dizzying, exciting wave of popularity. Silly she knew, but she was thrilled by it. It was fun to be somebody, fun, she confessed to herself a little shamefacedly, to be Patricia Haverholt. Hero-worship-pers, friends of Haverholt’s, acquaintances, utter strangers, hemmed her in, exclaiming, admiring, questioning. Yes, she said over and over, it was her first tournament; yes, she was excited; thank you, she hoped to do well. “Has Blair turned up yet?" she heard Haverholt ask someone. “I hear he isn’t coming, that his secretary wiil make the presentation tonight.” A little significant laugh ran through the group. “He’s ducked out because I’m an entrant,” Haverholt summed it up with a laugh. "Reuben is busy trying to save his face.” The floodgates were opened. The clamor grew. The reputation of the absent host was ripped to shreds by his guests, Haverholt assisting enthusiastically. Patricia liked this less. But, just then, she glimpsed Clark Tracy, browner than when she had last seen him, tanned by the southern sun. He waved, smiled and threaded toward them. Patricia had thought she would be shaken by the encounter. She was not. Her taste of success, the coming tournament, her own assured position, braced her so that she could greet him as she would any other casual acquaintance, naturally, simply, even a little absently. Clark must be introduced all around first, he must speak to his own friends in the group, he must add his own good wishes for the Haverholt team, before he had his moment with her, and then not alone. “I’ve been back from Aiken for several days,” he began, seeing his chance to get in a word. "I’ve been meaning to give you a ring.” “Have you?” she asked with youthful indifference. Flushed and lovely tn the golden gown, smiling here and there, nodding, taking for granted the admiring glances that came her way, Patricia was a picture of poised and confident and exquisite girlhood. Looking down into her eyes, Clark felt a slow, unwilling stir of the pulses. He had an odd desire to capture the attention she was bestowing so lavishly upon others, to fix it ujjon himself. After all he had known her since her first day in the city, far longer than had any of the babbling fools who now surrounded her. “I was sorry,” he resumed awkwardly, "sorry I wasn’t able to teach you to drive.” “That was all right, 1 under-
