CHAPTER FORTY-FOLK Blinking, the two emerged into the lighted hall. Bareheaded, the color pulsing in her cheeks, the blue gown fitting her slim body like a sheath, Patricia now appeared as serene as she was lovely. Her beauty shook Clark from his chosen intent. He had determined that however odd Patricia’s conduct had appeared her secret was her own, not his. What she wanted to tell him of her own free will he would hear. He would not, could not press her. Now, very suddenly, he felt that he must know. Why should she be panic-stricken because a stranger, a man, had entered the bar upstairs? Why should she desire so passionately to escape swiftly, surreptitiously? “Well,” said Patricia, drawing a long, long breath, “we’re here.” “So we are,” he agreed briefly, unsmilingly. “Do you suppose we'll have trouble at the door?” she asked quickly, troubled by his searching gaze.

They had trouble at the door. The same man who had admitted them now appeared to believe that they should stay. He had dealt before with fashionable young people who thought it a great lark to beat a bill. He had seen these two emerge from the stairs. Coldly, he eyed Patricia’s bare arms, Clark’s bare head. Crisply Clark explained it all. The lady was ill. He was going to put her into a cab. “No, sir, you aren’t. You may think you are, but you aren’t. The two of you are marching back upstairs while I find out just why you decided to take in on the lam.” “Call a cab at once!” “I’ll call a cop instead.” The air was sulphurous when Patricia intervened. Clark would return to the roof after he put her into a cab. The attendant might watch if he wished. Would that be all right? Reluctantly the man at the door let it go at that. He watched though, suspicion lulled but not entirely sleeping. “I wanted to take you home,” said Clark standing on the curb, looking at Patricia in the cab. “That wouldn’t have done,” she told him, quite definitely. She said •ne word. She said, “Marthe.” “I wouldn't have cared ” began Clark impetuously and paused. There w a s an instant of silence. The street was quiet. Light poured from the door while the attendant held it open, ready for Clark. In the obscurity of the cab the man on the curb could not perceive the girl’s expression but he saw one white hand on her lap slowly close. It was then that he said what he had wanted to say, “Tell me all about it, Patricia. Please, you must tell me all about it. Who was the man at the bar?”

"I—l don’t want you to know." “What has he done to you?” said Clark savagely, “I’d like to give him a sock in the jaw.” “The kindest thing yon can do for me,” she said in a trembling voice, “is to forget what happened tonight, to forget it utterly.” “I’ll try, Patricia.” "Promise.” “I can’t promise. I’ll try.” “Hey, you,” called the man at the door. “Break apart. I ain’t going to stand here all night.” “I’ll wait,” said Patricia swiftly. “Will you please ask Julian to come down with my wrap?” “Won’t I do?” “No,” she said gently. “I want Julian.” Clark returned to the party upstairs. Julian, Phil and Marthe were seated on tall silver chairs at the onyx bar, drinking and watching thp elevator. They saw him as he emerged and he saw them. He saw more. Three men, wearing

dinner jackets of the latest cut, occupied a table nearby, three slickhaired well polished men, who used pearls for studs and diamonds for rings. Which one, wondered Clark, which one? “Hello Marthe,” he said. “Hello, yourself. Where have you been? Where is Miss Haverholt?” “Did you miss us?" Certainly she had missed them. Certainly she had noted their absence. She had glimpsed them at the moment they started downstairs. "Whatever struck you?” Clark explained as best he could. His explanation was standard but feeble. Patricia had a headache and wanted to go home. How could he sound convincing when he was so deeply puzzled himself ? Which one, wondered Clark, which one of those hard-eyed, soft-handed men had frightened Patricia to panic? He wound up his lame excuses. They had not believed him. Phil sought to mask his incredulity; Marthe hardly troubled to m a s k hers. Clark had an odd sensation that though Julian exhibited a similar amount of polite astonishment he was not in the least surprised. Julian tossed off his drink. “I’ll take down Patricia’s wrap then,” he announced. “I’ve had enough of this place myself.” “Aren't you coming back?’’ Marthe almost wailed. “No, I’m not Sky High may be the latest thing but it’s a wash-out to me. Goodbye all.” Haverholt was gone. Marthe watched the elevator close him in with bitter, disappointed eyes. It had been a dull, a flat, a dissappointing evening to Marthe March. She turned on Clark. "Now,” she said, “now suppose we have the truth.” “You’ve had it,” repKed Clark shortly, hailing the bartender and ordering a whiskey sour. His evening had been disappointing too. “My very dear boy,” began Marthe in a tone that he had always found peculiarly irritating, “do you really mean us to believe that Miss Haverholt left because she had a simple headache?” “It’s the truth.” “You mean it’a what she told you.” • It was at this point that Philip Gove folded up his tents and departed. For him the life had gone out of the party when Patricia left. He had no desire to be the lone spectator of a quarrel between Clark and Marthe. They were quarrelling, at least Marthe was, in a low, vicious and complaining voice. Clark sat stem and silent, wondering why life was such a mess. “You aren’t listening,” said his fiancee at length, angrily. “Y o u haven’t heard a word I’ve said.”

“I’ve heard enough. Sometimes, Marthe, sometimes when you talk this way I think I hate you. I like Patricia. I admit it. You don’t. Very well, you like Julian and I don’t. I think we'd better call it quits.” “So you liked her well enough to swallow the headache story,” mused Marthe. “Let me tell you something.” She gripped his arm. “Do you see those three men over there, those men that loo’ like caricatures of well dressed thugs’” “What about them?” he asked sourly and requested, “Please keep your voice down. They all have ears.” “I don’t care if they hear or not. Patricia Haverholt,” Exclaimed Marthe, “left when they came in. She left because she was afraid of them. Now, why, I wonder was she afraid? Do they look like folks from California?” "You’re talking utter nonsense!” “I'm not. I saw her face when they came in. She went as pale as death. I can’t understand how you missed it. You were with her. Did

n’t she say anything about them?” “She did not!” "I believe,” said Marthe softly, “1 believe that she did. When this brought no response, she said further, "There’s some mystery about that girl. I’m sure of it. I think I know just what it is.” “What is it then?” “She isn’t Julian’s niece!” Clark stood up. gave Marthe one terrible look and walked away. She called to him. He did not stop. She caught up with him. That night she talked and pleaded and argued with him in vain. That night, at his request, she returned his ring. « • • Dawn was bright at the windows and Patricia had not slept. She rose stiffly, we fit into the bathroom, turned on the steaming water, scattered bath salts from a tall, slim bottle and lowered herself into the perfumed warmth of the sunken tub. She tried not to think. She was sick of thinking of the events of the night before. In spite of everything the torturing memories would return; the black and silver night club, Bill McGee's appearance through the door, the flight with Clark down the darkened stairs. By some miracle she had escaped—last night. Not always would she so escape. Her day of reckoning was bound to come. “What a fool you were,” she sai»! aloud, furiously. Why hadn’t she told Clark the truth, the whole truth ? She almost had. The little she had told was worse than nothing. Wretchedly she recalled her brief, hysterical explanation. She had been afraid of a man. Her lips twisted wryly. What must Clark think of that? What was be thinking of her? “I can’t do anything now,” she reflected bitterly. “Anything I do now is wrong.” The clock struck eight as Patricia seated herself at her desk, spread out a pack of cards, and attempted to dispel the fever of her thoughts with solitaire. Red on black, black on red. . . . Haverholt was waiting for her downstairs. Let him wait! She was bent over the deck when the tall, whitehaired man opened the door and strode into her sitting room, unannounced. The girl looked up and frowned. “Bus-man’s holiday?” Julian inquired, glancing at the cards and grinning. “I wish you would knock,” ehe said coldly, reviving an old difference between them. “I have a piece of news for you,” he said, ignoring her usual protest. His smile flashed again. “Marthe March,” he said slowly, “Marthe is back in circulation. She and Clark split up last night.” A pasteboard fluttered from Patricia’s hand to the floor, the five of diamonds. Julian stooped, picked it up, absently played it on the six of spades, but always his eyes were on the girl. Patricia's own gaze was fixed on space. A queer little smile curved her lips. She sat very still, savoring this news, seeking from some instinct of pride to dissemble her feelings, to hide from Haverholt*the mixture of sensation that his words had brought. “Then—then Clark is free,” she said at last, in an effort at casualness. “Yes,” assented Haverholt. There was a trace of mockery in his manner. He said peculiarly, “I wouldn’t build too much on it.” “I wasn’t,” she told him, stiffening. “You looked as if someone had just left you a million dollars.” “I did no such thing.” "Then, aren't you pleased?” “I don’t like Marthe," was all that she would say.
