difficult te deal. Toby Munroe, proprietor of the Sunset Bridge i Club, sat on the up stairs porch, desultorily fanning himself. The porch was dark. Through the open window he watched the twelve players who made up the three tables of bridge inside. The winter season in Miami was closing with an early heat wave, driving the tourists prematurely north. Ordinarily there were ten tables of bridge going in the club. 1

1 The card fees from three tables ! would hardly pay expenses. Four ■ tables on the ground floor, reserved for small stakes players, a tenth of ' a cent or less, were deserted. The i high stakes room, with two tables ; on the second floor, was dark. There • was ono vacant table in the room 1 Toby was watching. > A young man, sportuig an immaculate mess-jacket, spread his i hand on the table, and with a word : of apology to his partner, stepped • out on the porch. i “How are you making out, Glen?" • Toby spoke without rising. “About even. Eve Farraday’s sw.eter than her game.” He flashed a cigarette lighter. Profound dark eyes absorbed some of the flame, revealing dancing gold flecks. His i cigarette under way, he asked: “Who is the couple playing against ! US?" “Durlyn Bessinger and his wife.” “I know their name, Toby. 1 want to know if they’re worth any space. She smells like ninety dollars worth of black narcissus.” “Black narcotics to me. Why I don’t you hold your nose and ask i Edward Fowler about them? They’re friends of his." s “Thanks for the tip, Toby. Society s news is scarce. Everybody's on the ! way north.” “Business is scarce, too.” Toby sighed. “For two dollars I’ve filled ■ the Sunset with musk and hashish.” • Glen Neal took a small notebook I from a hip pocket and niade notai tions with a tiny psacil.

ing papers would cam comment; about Mr. and Mrs. Durlyn Kessinger, if he found them worthwhile. He returned to his table where the others were waiting. Edward Fowler was seated just inside the window. He was a big man with prominent nose and chin noticeable chiefly for his slowness of speech and movement. In a single winter he had built up a reputation in Miami xs a splurging gambler ready to bet heavily on dogs, horses.

or cards. His clothes, speech, and type of bridge proclaimed him to be English. Direct inquiry evoked only his lingering smile, and assurance that he was a Bohemian, born and bred. Toby, watching him through the window, found himself fascinated with Fow’ler's coat. Unmindful of the heat, the big man was wearing a heavy black and white check, adorned with conspicuous round leather buttons. It topped a pair of expensive, wide striped, black and w’hite flannels, end equally expensive black and white sports shoes. The sight of so much heavy cloth made Toby uncomfortably warm. He turned away to resume hie fanning, when the sound of a shrill voice, raised in heated protestation, effectually put a stop to all play in the card room. Toby jumped to his feet with a muttered curse and went hastily inside. He knew the voice immediately. There was only one voice in the world with its shrill grating shrewishness. It issued incongruously from the cupid-bow lips of Millie LaFranc*. and more than one man was willing to bet that Millie was the answer to all dreams about blondes. She was going strong when Toby entered. The object of her raucous tantrum was her partner, Edward Fowler. He made two attempts to > break in quietly, but she refused to interrupt her tirade.
