(U.R)— Because Alex Frejt wanted to catch that big trout, he hooked a duck. Frejt, fishing in Bean Lake near here, cast his line over a clump of bushes, hoping to keep hidden from a big torut he sus- j pected was linking on the other side. A strike.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX i 1 They had barely circled the room . when Clark cut in again. Phil had , made his little speech. His speech had had no effect. He gave up with , what dignity he could muster but ( Patricia knew that he was offended. , She did not mind. Not now. For Clark was smiling down at her, ( was saying: ( “Glad to have me back?” ( "Awfully glad.” Patricia tested j her new found power. She lazily ( raised her eyes, said, “Really, yon j know, we’re misbehaving.” “We’re having a lot of fun,” he ( assured her not quite steadily. “At , least I am.” ( “I too,” she whispered, forget- | ting the part of coquetry. She remembered a moment later. She ( said, “We’re the only ones who are ] dancing. I think we’d better join . the others.” “I'd rather dance.” "I’d rather not.” ( So they joined the others, the ( group gathered in the swing and , lounging on the divan, the group i that had watched and whispered. ' Marthe was the center of that , group, Marthe who was talking so ' gayly that she hardly seemed to , notice their approach. But Patricia ‘ felt quite sure that she had. Phil did. Phil said ironically, “Don’t tell me that you two are tired of dancing.” “We got rather hot," supplied Patricia, fanning herself. “I want a great big drink,” announced Clark. “How about you, Patricia?” “Thanks no, I’ll be all right in a minute.” Marthe became conscious of their arrival. She glanced in their direction, said indifferently, “Well, you two have been absorbed. I had almost forgotten you were here.” Patricia looked at the other girl. “So had we,” she said briefly. A breath of unease ran through the group. The tables were turned with a vengeance. Marthe was afraid now, for all her bright gaiety, for all her air of cool indifference. Patricia knew it. She exulted in the thought. Clark might be engaged to Marthe, but tonight he belonged to her. She saw and the other girl saw how he settled at her feet, how he listened for her every word, how he could not seem to tear his eyes away. Tonight, there was no doubt of it, tonight belonged to Patricia. She had had her chance to be kind. She could say to “No, you’ll have to dance with somebody else. I’ve promised to try the tango with Arch.” It was fun while it lasted. It lasted until Julian Haverholt strolled out on the piazza. Patricia was waltzing with Clark. Haverholt didn’t say, “Break.” He never bothered to dance. He said, “Come inI side a moment, Patricia, when you 1 finish this. I have something important to discuss with you.” « Julian closed the door of the Tracy living room. Through the open window, sweetened by distance, came a drift of music from the piazza. The others still were dancing. Patricia seated herself with a swish of taffeta, crossed her ankles, glanced at the man as he turned. “Well?” she said. "Have you been enjoying your-

self, my dear?" he inquired. He looked st her quizzically. He said, “I thought at dinner that you seemed a little subdued." “You were wrong,” she replied serenely, 'Tve been having a wonderful time. They have all been marvelous to me.” “That’s good,” he acceded but indifferently, as if the matter were of small import, as if the two of them had never debated her wisdom in coming here. She looked at him sharply. There was something new in his manner, a certain gleam in his eye, a certain suppressed excitement She waited. He said, "I wanted you to look at this. It just came out today. That’s what made me so late.” She accepted the magazine he extended. the Bridare Universe, a publication belonging to Reuben Blair, published every month. Patricia had seen copies often, bad heard Haverholt’s far from laudatory comments on the publication. He called it alternately, “Blair’s Monthly Folly” and “A Short Handbook for Fools”. Now she glanced at him in questioning surprise. “I think you will be interested in the leading editorial,” he suggested and indicated the proper page. Patricia glanced at the article headed “The Bridge Racket". Her face turned a little pale. She read: “The Bridge Racket” "Bridge, no more safe from adventurers than racing and lawn tennis, is becoming a racket A game that has been, since its inception, the recreation of ladies and gentlemen is threatened now in this age of upstarts and social chaos with a growing invasion of sharpers, card-sharps and ballyhoo artists. There is no need to mention names here; those who know bridge know who the adventurers and adventuresses are. They know even who is the Chief Adventurer and who is the Chief Adventuress. An unsavory pair! If bridge is to be saved these people must go. And the best way to banish them is social ostracism.” Patricia let the magazine fall to her lap. She said rather faintly, “I suppose Reuben Blair means us.” “There’s no doubt of it,” said Haverholt and declared, “It’s a marvelous break for us. The whole town is talking. The clubs were boiling with gossip this afternoon. A hundred fellows stopped me. People were talking of nothing else.” “People were talking of nothing except us?” queried Patricia with a sinking heart. “Right,” he assured her gleefully. “I’ve never seen anything like it. I was mobbed at the Cavender Club. It was nearly as bad at the Kirkcaldie.” He paused, said in surprise, “You don’t seem particularly pleased.” “Pleased!” repeated Patricia, suddenly angry. “Why should I seem pleased? You may enjoy being called a bridge sharper. I can't say that I do.” “You don't understand,” he said irritably, straddling a chair and looking at her with vast annoyance. He explained as he might explain to a child. “In a business like ours one good enemy is worth a thou-
