SYNOPSIS Pretty, young Patricia Warren ■nwiilingly accepts the attentions of Bill McGee, a racketeer, fearing his 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 when 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 Pat to drive her new car and goes on a trip with his fiancee's family. Noting her disappointment. Haver- ' holt 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 win. Next morning, they are deluged with congratulatory telegrams and business offers. CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN “What are we going to do about these?” she asked, glancing at the telegrams. “Waste baskets were invented fur such stuff,” replied Julian so promptly that the girl was disconcerted. In her mind she had been planning dignified little acknowledgments. “Just ignore the whole of it,” he went on. “There was only one decent offer in the lot.” “I guess I didn’t see that one.” “I separated it from the junk. Here it is,” said Julian, rescuing the proper envelope and tapping it against his palm. “It’s from Jarrett’s, the bi g department store. They're planning a tournament for their customers. They want you to run it.” “Me!” “Yes, you,” he smiled. “I think you’d better accept. Si x Friday afternoons, though you can probably duck out on a couple of them. They’ll pay you for your trouble.” “How much?” demanded Patricia, expecting some vast sum. “Twenty-five dollars an afternoon,” Haverholt told tier. “That means a hundred and fifty for the series. They’ll give you tons of swell publicity, paid ads in all the newspapers, circulars mailed out to their customers, they’ll give you an elegant send-off on your dizzy flight to fame.” “Then you think I had better accept?” “I most certainly do.” “All right,” said the girl obediently. “I will.” She bent her bright head over the remainder of the messages. She hardly admitted to herself that she was searching for some word from Clark. Apparently everyone in the world had sent congratulations, everyone except Clark. At the end of five minutes, Patricia folded the last sheet of yellow paper, thrust it into its envelope, looked up and said: “Is this all?” I “Were you looking for something special, my dear?” The man was watching her closely. “Why no,” she informed h i m coolly. “I was just wondering.” “Maybe this is what you want,” said Haverholt with equal coolness. Reaching into the pocket of his dressing gown he pulled out a crumpled sheet of paper, handed it

over. It was a telegram addressed to both of them. Patricia spread the paper flat, read: “Congratulations to two great bridge players. Hoping to see you both next week at Belmont. Clark.” The girl raised her eyes. “Why didn’t you show this to me?” she asked levelly. “I did show it to you.” “Not until I asked.” “Perhaps,” he shrugged, “I panted to hear you ask.” “Why?" Leaning his elbows upon the table, the man suddenly became intent and serious. There was now a certain inflexible quality about him, troubling and disturbing. “If I were you, Patricia," he said deliberately, “I would put Clark Tracy out of my mind this minute.” The girl went scarlet “He isn’t in my mind,” she said quickly, defensively. "You’ll never in this world pull it off,” he told her, ignoring the protest. “Clark Tracy is not for you and the sooner you acknowledge it the better. It’s not because of Marthe either,” he remarked and continued decisively, “You're pretty enough and clever enough to dispose of Marthe’s claims in short order. After you’d laid your groundwork and got your campaign under way, Clark probably wouldn’t remember there was a Marthe March. Don’t bother getting highminded,” he said sharply, as Patricia, horrified, attempted to interrupt. “I've never yet met a woman who wasn’t utterly unscrupulous where the prior rights of other women were concerned. I don’t blame you for it. It’s your nature, child.” The girl was furious. “You don’t know as much about women as you think you do,” she said seething with anger. “I’ve had years of experience, .darling. Ah, those were the years!” “Stop it, stop this minute,” she stormed at him. “You may know women but you don’t know me. I like Clark Tracy. Well, what if 1 do7 I’ve met his fiancee; I like her too. I suppose I have a right to like them if I want to. You—you’re trying to make something out of nothing. I’m sure 1 can't guess why you take the trouble." Pushing back the telegrams she rose from the table and stalked toward the door, half expecting that Haverholt would call. He maintained a baffling silence. She hesitated at the threshold. Still he said

nothing. She could not resist s backward glance. The man was smoking, staring meditatively ei the ceiling. “Can you give me one single reason why I shouldn’t like Clark Tracy?” Patricia flung over a haughty shoulder. “I can give you onq very good reason.” said Haverholt slowly. Unwillingly she turned. He looked straight into her eyes. “Has it ever occurred to you what Clark would think if he discovered that you were not my niece?” Patricia walked to the breakfast table and sat down. She joined her hands beneath a strained white face. “You aren’t going to tell hire, are you?” she whispered. There was a silence in the precisely ordered breakfast room. Patricia sat strained and motionless. Julian Haverholt ground out his cigarette. "I don’t need to tell Clark anything,” he said sharply. "If you persist in falling in love with him you will tell him the truth yourself. And he won’t like the truth!” Patricia faced him bravely. “The truth is not so terrible,” she said. “I have done nothing wrong. I’m not afraid.” “Save your defence for Clark," suggested Haverholt, not ungently. “Whatever you say I will say: your story will be mine. But I very much doubt that you can successfully gild the facts.” He hesitated, added, “Clark Tracy siipply is not constituted to understand, or to sympathize with the peculiar psychology of the adventuress.” "Are you inferring that I am an adventuress?” “I am merely trying to force you to see your situation from Clark’s standpoint. That young man isn’t living in the present century where the question of women is concerned.” “I suppose you are,” put in Patricia bitterly. “I am. If 1 loved a woman I wouldn’t give a damn for her past or for her future. I would be too busy with her present. Clark is different. After all,” he reminded her, , “I have known the subject of our j discussion linger than you have.” The girl ciuld not confute him. She listened, every fibre of her being in silent protest, as Julian continued his light, Blocking dissection [ of tbs other man. (To B- Continued) © 1932, by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Twelve Checks of unusual value I Os all the services that we are privileged to render, we can most heartily commend our One-Year Monthly Income plan. After the death of the insured we deliver twelve checks, one every month for a year. A favorite amount is SIOO monthly. These ready dollars in that trying first year are beyond valuation. They furnish comfort and assurance; a chance to collect thoughts, revive courage and lay new plans. The premium, paid once, twice or four times a year, runs about a nickel a day at age twenty, a dime in the early forties or a few cents more if you start later in life. Larger amounts or longer periods can be arranged. A choice of policy forms is available. Premium referred to above is for "Endowment at Age 85. Set up this safeguard for your home circle and they will never be caught unprepared. It will make an ideal supplement to your lumpsum insurance.
