In Greece, or In the Fnr East, they differ in no material respect from those In use today. They were probably evolved from knuckle-bones. It Is certain that dice games were played Id times prior to those of which we have any written record. The fact that dice have been used throughout the Orient from (line imemorlal seems to indicate an Asiatic origin. Pussy Cats I Back A tat belonging tc l. Quick. of Fault Ste.

CHAPTER FORTY-THREE With the others she went out to the car. She felt queer, not herself. Clark was driving. He and Marthe had the front seat. Julian and Phil were with Patricia in the back. Patricia listened to Phil’s naive exposition of the Sky High club, nodded occasionally, spoke when it was her turn. The club was supposed to be owned by a gangster, so Phil said; it was constantly under police supervision, but somehow kept on running. “It's my personal belief that all the gangsters have gone on the stage.” said Haverholt, grinning. “I’d like to meet a dyed-in-the-wool racketeer just once. W hat’s that, Clark?” he called, for the man in the front seat had muttered something. Marthe turned. “Clark just said,” she announced, laughing, “Clark said that a bridge expert didn’t need to meet a racketeer.” “I said no such thing!” “Yes, you did, darling.” “I didn’t,” The two in the front seat wrangled all the way to the club. Julian had not minded, he had, in fact, been rather flattered. But Patricia knew that Marthe was trying to stir up trouble between the two men. The Sky High club was on a mean, quiet little street, given over in daytimes to business. The building was formidable, a ten-story loft building, dark now. A man who had been strolling up and down the sidewalk came up alertly as their ear stopped. Clark showed his card. A door was unlocked. The five streamed into a dimly lighted, bare, uncarpeted hall. “I’m thrilled,” whispered Marthe. “Isn’t it thrilling ?" They were Kfbsd t* the roof in a freight elevator. Marthe liked that too. Clark and Phil were frankly uncomfortable. Julian was curious. He admired this approach, j rather. Good stuff for people who j lived on Park Avenue. It made them feel that they were slumming. They reached the roof. Julian was not surprised by the club. The others were. The club was all that its name had indicated. Sky High. It was luxurious, it was smart, it was modem, it was done in silver gray. There was a gleaming onyx bar. It was just another night club. “Well,” said Marthe, disappointI ed. “Is this it?” “What did you expect?” inquired Clark, not quite pleasantly. “Machine guns at the door?” “Just for that I’ll dance first with Julian." “You would have anyhow,” Clark said in a voice pitched for her ears alone. Marthe pretended not to hear. She linked her arm defiantly , through Julian's, strolled with him to a pocket - handkerchief floor where three other couples were rej volving slowly. That left Patricia with Clark and Phil. The two men looked at each other. Phil sighed and took a seat at the bar. Patricia stepped into Clark’s embrace and drifted into a world of pure enchantment. She forgot her worries, her anxieties, her reasons for coming here, her reasons for desiring not to come. ... Let the future take care of itself while she waltzed with Clark! “There are tables outside,” he said, looking down into her flushed and beautiful face. “Why don’t we go outside?” | “Don't you like this?” “I never see you alone,” ho said. Beneath his breath he said, "Can’t I ever see you alone?” The music sobbed to a close and they started for a door that led to I the cool of the roof. Three men

were coming in from the hall; three men were dropping their hats and coats; three men were preparing to stop at the bar. Patricia saw only one. That one was Bill McGee. Patricia felt the pulses roaring in her ears. She thought for a moment that she would faint, that she must faint. She leaned against Clark, her whole body suddenly stricken. Had Bill seen her? Or hadn’t he seen her? He was giving his hat to the check-girl. He would tarn in a moment. He wculd see her then! She darted through the open door to the roof. Clark, bewildered, followed swiftly. What was wrong? What had happened? The girl had backed against the edge of the roof,'her eyes terrified in an ashen face. Just a minute before she had been smiling, delighting him with her gaiety. He could not understand. “What is it?” asked Clark aloud. “There’s a man inside,” she stammered in a voice that rang with fear. “He’s at the bar now. He mustn’t see me. I can’t let him see me.” At once she steadied. She had said too much. She knew it She was conscious of Clark’s bewilderment conscious of the need for courage and absolute control. Clark was full of a thousand questions. Man-like, he wanted to take up her battle. But he wanted to know why. “I don’t want you to do anything,” she told him frantically. “I only want to leave. I must leave.” “But Patricia " “Get me out,” she said pitifully, as a child might say it. “Please get me out I’ve got to get out.” People were strolling on the roof, were sitting at little softly lighted tables, were admiring a swimming pool that no one had the audacity to use. At any moment Bill might appear for a breath of air. She was not safe here, not safe anywhere hcra CTark reached an instant decision. “Very well,” he said briefly. “I’ll take you.”

“Not to the elevator, I can’t go past the bar.” “Easy does it,” he said and the grip of his hand was infinitely comforting. “There must be stairs, I don’t think we need go inside at all.” There were stairs. Patricia did not stop for her wrap nor Clark for his hat and coat. The stairs were unlighted, uncarpeted, * stone stairs that echoed hollowly to their footfalls. Ten flights of stairs. It was a strange journey. Patricia was to remember that trip afterwards as of something dreamed of, something incredible, something that could not have happened. Once she recalled hysterically Clark’s desire to see her alone. They were alone now. But that glamorous, evanescent moment was gone. It had vanished when Bill McGee walked into the nightclub upstairs. “Careful now,” Clark would say, brisk and matter of fact. “We’re coming to another landing.” “It’s my heels. They—they make me trip.” “Not meant for mountain climbing, eh?” How blessedly normal hia voice sounded 1 How marvelously he was taking this. He was asking no questions now. He was behaving as if this midnight flight were the most ordinary occurrence in all the world. There were questions in his mind, of course. What was Clark thinking? Once or twice Patricia tried to thank him and had for answer the steadying pressure of his hand at her elbow. “We won’t talk about that now. The point now is to get yon out." “I—doesn’t this seem strange to you ? ” Perhaps he did not hear. Anyhow he made no response. She frit forlorn just then, and far away in spirit from the man who was guidme her so carefully, so competently through the darkness. Had the others upstairs missed them ?
