CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT “You—we shouldn’t have done that," said the girl at last, tonelessly. "i know,” he agreed with a brief, puzzled laugh. “There’s Marthe.” she faltered. “Yes,” he said, stiff, uncomfortable, ill at ease. “I owe you an apology, Patricia.” Patricia’s hot color rose anew. She should have laughed off the incident, should never have let him see how deeply she had been moved, should never have let him guess how much the brief, stolen embrace had meant to her. Above all, she should never have mentioned Marthe. Why had she been such a fool? He owed her an apology, did he! Inwardly she writhed in an agony of shame and embarrassment, outwardly she seemed as sure of herself as he seemed. “Really it’s not important,” she said gallantly “You need not apologize It was nothing.” “Are you sure?” he asked and she knew that he was vastly relieved. “Quite sure.” “I ean promise you, I think,” he said soberly, “that I will never trouble you that way again.” “Let’s stop talking about it," she burst out. suddenly furious. “You are angry.” “I tell you that I’m not!” “Then we’re friends again?” “Os course we are,” she insisted. “Why shouldn’t we be?” Clark was puzzled and confused, vaguely dissatisfied, but with all a man’s horror of scenes and tears. He was afraid that at any moment she might cry again. Patricia saw his fear She said quite simply, “I don’t know what got into*me a little while back. I was awfully silly.” “You were sweet,” be said. The girl felt oddly flat. Had he guessed nothing of the storm in her heart? Or had he guessed and chosen to conceal his knowledge? His attitude was what it had always been, friendly, serene and in.■rested. His course was wise. It was the only possible line to take. She should rejoice in his tact and wisdom. She didn’t. “Now.” he was saying in his concerned and anxious tones, “you must tell me exactly what was troubling you when I came into the room." He smiled. “Maybe I can help.” “Really it was nothing.” “It was the bridge match," he declared intuitively, “the match that Julian bas set his heart on. Isn’t that it? He told mother all •bout it at dinner." “Maybe," she conceded, not wishing to discuss the affair at all, really longing to get away. Why should she sit here talking with him? Why should she considef him i a factor in her affairs? She said remotely. “Julian and I didn’t agree ' at first about the terms. I agree with him now, so there isn’t anything for you and me to talk about.” He hesitated, reluctant to criticize Julian Haverholt’s methods, yet feeling sharply critical at the

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1933.

WHY IS SANTA ( LAUS? Why a Christmas tree? Why Christmas gifts? Why a Christj mas stocking? Why holly and mistletoe? Our Washington Bureau has ready for you a fascinatingly interesting bulletin on Christmas Customs; their origins, meanings and | the practices pertaining to the celebration of Christmas.

position in which he had placed the girl. It was al) very well for Julian to shout from the housetops that he was not a gentleman and had no desire to be, al) very well for him to hail himself publicly as a bridge sharp and to spring into headlines as such. For him to confer that dubious glory upon a young and inexperienced girl was something else. So Clark thought. He glanced at Patricia. Her face was distinctly unencouraging. At length he ventured, “Are you sure you are happy about the match?” “I’m very happy,” she advised him, a warning glint in her eye. “Why shouldn’t I be? It’s a marvelous chance for Julian and me. Don’t you think so?” He looked unhappy. “Do you want my honest opinion?" “Go ahead." Then I think,” he proceeded slowly, feeling his way, “I think you may find that the match won’t work out as you hope it will. For a girl, Patricia, such publicity might very well prove to be a boomerang. Don’t make me go on. Can’t you see how it might be difficult?” “I see what you’re trying to say," Patricia agreed airily. "The girls you know wouldn’t enjoy being mixed up in a battle of ballyhoo. I’m not one of those girls. I’m a bridge player and bridge players live by ballyhoo. We love the spotlight. We have to love it That’s a part of the racket," she said, borrowing one of Julian Haverholt’s phrases. She glanced at Clark. “Julian and I didn’t begin this feud,” she reminded him. “Reuben Blair began it. But Julian and ’ will end it and we will be famous when we do.” “I hadn’t any right to object,” he admitted quickly. “None at all.” ’ He flushed at her tone. She had scored. He had interfered in a matter which did not concern him and she had snubbed him for his pains. She eyed him distantly. As for the man, he was stricken with chagrin and contrition. “I didn’t mean to offend you,” he said unhappily. Then he asked, “Why must we quarrel like this?” “I’m not quarrelling.” “Then we are friends again?” “Yes," said the girt Clark’s face lighted like the morning. He caught up her hand and pressed it against his lips. “I like you, Patricia," he said a little unsteadily. “I like you so much.” At that very moment Marthe March opened the door. There was an instant of silence i among the three. Clark and Patricia had started apart. Marthe hesitated at the threshold, calm and , undisturbed. “I hope I’m not interrupting," i she said tentatively. i “You’re not,” replied Clark I sharply. ■ Marthe entered then, cool as z : breeze in May. Glancing specula- • tively at the flushed and silent ; Patricia, she said, “Julian sent me for you. The reporters are insisting . upon your photograph.” , "Julian told me that I needn’t • see the reporters," said Patricia

“I don’t believe that ne has changed his mind.” “I assure you that he has." “Wait, I’ll see.” interposed Clark. He disappeared. The two girls were left together Both stood motionless. Would Marthe speak of ' the little scene that she had interrupted ? Apparently Marthe wouldn’t. “It seems a shame for you to refuse such good publicity,” she presently said inconsequentially. “I wonder why you do.” “I’m too tired to talk to anyone.” said Patricia. Was there a hint o£ suspicion in the other’s gaze ? “I suppose you are tired,” conceded Marthe with a tiny laugh. She said reflectively, “You’ve had such a busy evening.” There was a pause. Then Marthe spoke again, lightly argumentatively. “It is too bad you won’t go out. The piazza is boiling with reporters and camera men, all dying for a glimpse of you.” “I can’t say I’m tempted," Patricia observed in tones slightly edged. Marthe’s persistence was getting on her nerves. < “They would be satisfied with your photograph," the other resumed persuasively and added, “Wouldn’t that be pleasant to send back to your folks in California?” Was the question idle? Or was it put with deep intent? Patricia said flatly that Julian would have to supply headlines for them both. She glanced toward the door. Clark i was not in sight. Patricia determined to escape this sweetly pry- ’ ing girl. J "If you will excuse me, please, : she said evenly, “I believe I’ll run ’ along upstairs. You can make my ’ apologies to Clark if you will, tell him and Julian too, that I was too tired to wait.” 1 “My dear, you must wait,” Mar- . the put in quickly. “Clark will be 1 too disappointed if he doesn’t find you here.” Her amused, indulgent > eyes rested upon the younger girl. 1 Marthe laughed and said, “Are you trying to pull the wool over my > eyes, Miss Haverholt? I know that , Clark has quite a crush on you.” ’ Patricia crimsoned to the roots of her hair. With a few well chosen words Marthe had destroyed a glamorous evening. She had made • it tawdry, cheap. Let Clark amuse j himself if he liked! Marthe did not mind. Why should she mind ? j Patricia offered no threat to her j security. Just then (Jlark came in the door. c He glanced from one girl to the other and drew a breath of relief. e To him all seemed serene. He spoke to Patricia. ’ “Julian said you were to do as j you like.” “Then I’m going to bed.” „ “Please don’t!” he exclaimed in dismay. k “Now Clark,” observed Marthe, linking her arm through his with an air of definite proprietorship. “Miss Haverholt has been saying 1 that she is exhausted. Besides,” she added, twinkling up at him, “you _ might pay a little attention to your fiancee.” ~ Patricia left them together. 1 (To Be Continued) t. C 1932. Sr Lin< Features Syndicate. Inc.
