SYNOPSIS Pretty, young Patrieia Warren unwillingly accepts the attentions •f Bill McGee, a racketeer, fearing bis wrath should she refuse. One night. Bill is shot by a rival gangster while with Patricia Patricia runs home in terror Her stepmother, fearing a scandal, puts her out. Patricia is forced to make her living by playing professional bridge. Impressed by the girl's beauty and skill. Julian Haverholt, the bridge expert, makes her his partner. She moves to his palatial home where he introduces her as his niece. Pat is indignant until Haverholt explains he was thinking of her reputation. Patricia is secretly in love with Clark Tracy, the polo player, but Clark is engaged to Marthe March, society girl. Pat first met Clark and his fiancee w hen she filled in at bridge (for fifty cents an hour) at wealthy Mrs. Sycott's home. Pat was living with her stepmother at the time Meeting Pat again at Haverholt's. Clark does not recognize her. He breaks an appointment to teach I at to drive her new car and goes on a trip with his fiancee's family. Noting her disappointment. Haverholt questions Pat. but she denies that she loves Clark Pat concentrates on bridge to forget Then comes the bridge tournament sponsored by Reuben Blair. Haverholt’s bitter enemy. Clark is present. He is distressed by Patricia’s coolness towards him The contest is on. Haverholt and Pat play with machine-like precision and perfection and are in the lead. CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX “It’t fun,' she murmured once to Julian. “’lt's so much fun. 1 feel —1 fee' as if ] simply couldn’t lose He smiled. He had felt that way himself—so often. He understood the fever in her blood, the burning triumph in her heart. The world was upside down for her just now, as it had long been upside down for him To win, to win, to win, to wrest from the cards every trick they held and more—what victory in all of life could be so thrilling? Oh, Julian Haverholt knew how she felt. “Don’t, he said mildly, "don’t be demoralized by yo u 1 success. The cup isn’t ours—not yet." It was At one o’clock Patricia and Julian Haverholt triumphed over Mr and Mrs. Granville Simpson, and the officials computed the total scores of the tournament evening The Reuben Blair cup belonged to Julian Haverholt, the donor’s most bitter enemy It was not a popular victory. These players for the most part, were Blair’s friends and supporters. Julian liked that particular sort of unpopularity He quite outdid himself in boasting. Patricia could not object. She could object to nothing now. Sparkling. laughing, intoxicated with the heady wine of success, she stood in the midst of the milling group, which had awaited the final outcome. Defeated players all, bitter, resentful, jealous, smiling their sweet, false smiles, offering their meaningless, insincere congratulations. To the girl everything rang true. She loved everything tonight, even the huge, ornate, shining cup, awaiting her name and Julian’s. A marvelous cup She said so often. “Must we leave it?” she demanded youthfully, appealing to them all. “Couldn’t we have the names engraved ourselves?” “I think it will be safe to leave it,” Julian advised her dryly, eyeing the cup as if he meant to pawn it, and considered that the silver would not bring so much. He picked it up. Just then his glance fell

■ upon the doorway. Immediately his # face lit with wicked joy. "As I live and breathe," he announced it glee- ' fully, “here comes Reuben Blair!” There came Blair indeed, a fat, pompous little man, reluctance in 9 his step. Reuben Blair wore an Immaculate, yet old fashioned dinner ’ jacket with a wide, black waist- ’ coat. He carried a gold-headed ’ cane; in his pocket was a fat, gold j watch which had been owned by some Revolutionary Blair and ' which this last son of the ancient ' Virginia Blairs loved to display. , He belonged to one of the first fam- ' ilies of the South, he had been in the Social Register as long as there ' had been a Social Register. His own importance weighed constantly upon his mind. Since the war, he j thought, the world had gone to pot. What had society come to when such upstarts as Julian Haverholt were allowed to fraternize with gentlemen? Stiffly, slowly, he advanced. “Greetings," carolled Haverhott. “You’ve managed to miss an exciting evening, Reuben. I’ve just won your cup!” For proof he waved the trophy in the air. “So 1 heard,” said the other man, coldly. “Allow me to present my congratulations.” “Are they from the heart?” inquired Haverholt with definite mockery. He added musingly, "I’m afraid, Reuben, your congratulations don’t come from the heart.” “My name is Blair, if you please, sir!” The older man’s red face was quite purple. “You really should have been here,” Haverholt was saying in his drawling, superior tones. “If you had observed me and my partner carefully you might, you know, you really might have learned to play a little bridge. It wouldn’t hurt you, Reuben.” “Thanks,” said the other, trembling with affront, “thanks just the same. I can make out, I believe, without employing your particular brand of grand-stand bridge.” “My grand-stand bridge has proved singularly effective,” Haverholt suggested thoughtfully and then said, drawing Patricia forward, “May I present my niece?" Half a hundred people saw Blair draw back and coldly view the girl, saw him ignore her extended hand, saw her hand slowly drop. “One Haverholt,” announced Reuben Blair, “is just one more Haverholt than I care to know.” Whereupon, he squarely turned his back and left the room. • • • When Patricia came downstairs the following morning Haverholt was at breakfast, not in the austerely formal dining room but in the cozy, comfortable breakfast nook, a pleasant place cheerful with chintz and pewter and delft. Wearing a velvet dressing gown, smoking, hunched over a newspaper, Julian Haverholt presented a picture of solid masculine comfort, a picture that made Patricia almost hesitate to interrupt. “Want company?” she asked, coming up behind him. “I’d love it. Sit down, Patricia. Have you had your coffee?” “Ages ago,” she told him and added in shocked tones, “Have you any idea of the hour? It’s nearly noon.” “Time is nothing in my life this morning," he advised her, stretching luxuriously, looking handsome and satisfied and lazy “Well, Patricia,” he continued, as she seated herself an< • egarded him expectantly, “you distinguished yourself last night. You’ve arrived, young woman, and I’m proud of you.” “Anything in the paper?”

s “A scant half column,” he replied e in disgust and she knew that ho •• was thinking of Reuben Blair'a " golden, wasted opportunities. t, “I hate that man,” she said n apropos of that thought. She looked i- at Julian. "You egged him on, yes, r you know you did, but 1 hate him ,- just the same. He’s a horrid, preti tentious, boorish little man!” d "A perfect description,” respondy ed Haverholt admiringly. He grinci ned. "Rest assured, Patricia, he t hates you too. All us bridge players hate each other.” • - She seemed about to debate the i matter when Haverholt tossed over e the paper. She read the article, saw s her own name for the first time in y print, Miss Patricia Haverholt, the e sensation of the Blair tournament. , , . . She was pleased and thrilled. 1 “How docs it feel to be famous?” t Haverholt demanded, eyeing her i quizzically. “Are you ready to pub- ■ lish your book on the finer points of contract bridge?” . “You’re making fun of me,” she . accused him. Still her face was i flushed with April colors. She wondered if Clark had seen the article, r if he realized that she had won her spurs last night. Not that it mat- , tered particularly, but he had seems ed so interested. “Oh yes, and you’d probably like a look at the telegrams,” said Ilav- , erholt casually, indicating the pile [ stacked in the chair beside him and enjoying Patricia’s big, surprised ' eyes. “I’ve gone through them alt ready,” he added, "though at leaat half the stuff is addressed to you.” i “All this,” she gasped, as he dumped the envelopes into her lap. i “The fruits of glory,” he said, i "Congratulations from crack-pots i who want to sell you a house and • lot in Florida, from deadbeats who i want you to lend them money, from ambitious matrons in Bronxville who would love to have you drop in for an evening and teach them how to play bridge for the price of your , supper. It’s a great life, my dear, if you don’t weaken.” He could not destroy her pleasure. Success and adulation were old , to him, they were new to her. She started going through the envelI opes. It was marvelous to receive good wishes from people unknown to her, to realize that they knew . her, to realize that she had stepped from the ranks into a position of prominence. A playing card company wanted I to send her a gross of playing cards, a cosmetic company wanted her to accept a year’s supply of creams and lotions in return for the privilege of using her recommendation, a Mr. Simon Barnes wanted to call at once so that she might set- , tie an argument between him and his wife, a smart shop warted her patronage, a Mrs. Elton Hart- , Smith, 211 Brooklyn Parkway, desired to give a dinner in her honor, with the strong suggestion t n a t Julian Haverholt act as her escort. “It’s — it’s all mad,” announced Patricia, staring dazedly at this I last communication. "People are crazy.” “They’ll get crazier,” predicted Julian. “Wait till we walk off with the Eastern championship. Then you will see something. You’re going to sweep the town,” he continued half jestingly, half seriously. “You’ve got the stuff that makes celebrities. You have real ability in a world that’s crowded with half-wita, and. what is equally if not more im- . portant. you have youth and beauty. Don't look so modest! You know you are beautiful. Furthermore you must have observed by now that I most bridge players, women especially. are a pretty sour lot.” “You’re very flattering,'’ said Patricia, trying to seem as calm as the man was.
