CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT Fan Rubles cried out hysterically in the hall. Why did she love Mat Brcanu, a man she should despise? No* he had brought Jane Rider here to Garrison'a, as a challenge. Jane —David’s girl—in whose car the body of Carlie had been found! It was too much. "Quiet!’' klat cautioned Fan. He ami Richard Garrtoon propelled her from the hall into a small anteroom. She arched away from them, her red velvet swaying against the gray panels. Breanu’a eyes were deadly, hi* olive skin a greenish hue. In the main rooms on the other •ide of the hall, the party continued, threaded with whispers. No one had missed the tall blonde’s dash for the door, followed by tho redheaded young man. Scene* were unprecedented in Garrison's cultured atmosphere. To Jane, standing within the entrance of the living room, the evening, she had looked forward to, became suddenly an ordeal. She watched the smart. Jewelled women and well-dressed men casually moving about among rare paintings and fireeious ornament*; saw them daneng and drifting to the buffet in the adjoining dining room. Uncomfortably, she felt their casual glance* sliding around her, too swiftly to betray curiosity. Bill Wright, on one side ot her, grinned crookedly. His left arm was hurting in it* sling. David glowered at her right, his blue eyes I still bloodshot with fury at Brcanu for trying to take his girl away. But she wasn’t Ki* girl any more. Tonight she no longer seemed the Jane of the old farmhouse where he had spent happy week-end* with her and her mother.

David murmured hoarsely. "Jan* —hon—please understand. I didn't mean—" She was staring at the French windows which led out onto the brick terrace. It must be chilly there, under the nippy October sky. Throaty whistle* rose from the East River. Oh, why couldn't she and David go back to the time before he had mixed up in horror* which didn’t concern him! And why, tonight, had she keen him bending over Fan Rubley, hi* hand on her shoulder, a* if—- “ Please, hon—" David begged again. Bill Wright had stepped a pace away. "I know you don't mean to hurt anyone—ever, David," Jane said at last A black-haired young man was plucking at a guitar by the piano, in broken mournful rhytLm*. Jane went on, with a trace of bitterness, “It isn't my business. But you’re living here now with Mr. Garrison. And I saw you with Mis* Rubley.” She could have smothered bar tongue. “So that'* It I" David'* voice equalled her* in bitterness. "Fan Rubley!" “Sorry to interrupt." Richard Garrison earn* up behind them. “But may I have a word with you, Farland? Will you forgive us, Mis* Rider!" He smiled warmly at Jane, but for all his friendly poise, hie look was grave. Bill Wright stopped back to them, dying to know what wae going on. As David hesitated. Garrison said, “Perhaps you’ll toko care <u Mias Rider for a while, Bill!"

“With pleasun. Come on, Jane. Let's sample the eat* and drinks.” Bill sounded mor* cheerful than he felL Jane hesitated. She wanted to toll David that nothing mattered to her but the faith in him that she had never entirely lost But instead, she said tremulously, “I'll see you later.” She felt a* if stranger* had got hold of David, dragging him out of h*r lif*, forever. • • • • Back in tbe hall, Garrison pressed something small, cold and hard into Farland*! palm. "Tuck It away, lad. You may need it” David looked at th* thing in th* mellow light A thirty-eight But why—T Garrison went on rapidly, "111 tak* th* responsibilito. I hav* th* Been**.

Th* I man escaped. Th* woman, Anna, I went to Fan’s apartment this *ve- I ning, and Fan let her go.” H* gripped David's arm. "I think this ’ woman might hav* th* envelop* i we’re after.

H* ( gripped David’* arm, his fare anx- 1 iou*. t "I get you.” Excitement surged up In David. “You dent want th* < police in on this?” i

“No." Garrison said tersely, and opened th* door to th* anteroom. David caught a glimpse of Breanu’s black brow* scowling. He had Fan pinioned against the waU. He whirled. Fan rushed past him, dinging to David, shivering. “Mat's erud," she cried, “h*’* cruellBreanu shrugged. “She's been drinking,” he said, and Ms hand went to hi* immaculate white tie. “Listen, Mat." Garrison's vole* wa* suddenly smooth. “Mis* Rider i* waiting for you. You brought her here, you know. Now I suggest that Farland take Fan home ! ean’t have scenes, you know.” "Take me anywhere away from that devil I- Fan eried wildly. “11l get even with him, though.” She shrank away, her blue eye* dilated, as Breanu came dose to her. She knew him better than David or Garrison did. Bha knew he hated David. David said to Garrison, hl* word* dose-clipped. “You've promised to take care of Jane.” Breanu smiled. “Surely, my dear fellow, you don’t think I’d hurt Mis* Rider!" Ho turned to David. The latter burst cut violently, "I don’t know how she ever eame her* with you, Breanu. But if you—" Fan straightened to her full height. Her hand crooked in David's arm. “Don’t worry," she said. “If Mat tries any of Ms tricks on you or your girl, he’ll have me to reckon with." "Your dramaties pre slightly ridiculous, my dear." But Breanu'* silky look was fastened on her. menacing. "I think my esteemed attorney has an excellent idea. Farland
