CHAPTER TWENTY Tn the paddock, afterwards, when Jim had left her for a few minutes to make a telephone call, she encountered none other than Hank Bruger wandering about. She would have avoided him, after the fracas of last night. But up he came, standing in her path. He held out his hand. “Please let us be friends again, Ann,” he said. "I’m so very sorry about last night's trouble in the casino. It was all my stupid blunder, but nothing more. I do assure you that I honestly believed my ehip had won. Won't you let bygones be bygones, and believe 1 do regret the embarrassment for you?” She hesitated for a moment. Then accepted hie proffered hand. She felt so happy about Jim—about the way their friendship was progressing—that she didn’t want to be at outs with anybody on this glorious afternoon. She conceded: "In the confusion round the table, anyone was liable to make a mistake.” "Thank you, Ann,” said Hank, giving her hand a hard pressure. “Have you bad any luck with the nags?” “Yes,” she smiled. "I just won |4O on the ‘baby’ raee." "That's swell. What about coming to the clubhouse and have a drink with mer "No thanks. I’m waiting for—a friend.” Not mention Jim now. She added, to show she had forgiven Hank, because she was so happy; “Can you give me any hot tips? Os course, on the feature raee, we're all betting on Mr. Willard’a Sfmpsree.” The man hesitated. Then he Mid. Very low: “For your private ear, Ann, I My no! It is true that Stmgarrt is the favorite. But confidentially I have heard that he won’t win the feature!” "Oh, Mr. Willard's an expert. He knows what's what!" said Ana. Hank shrugged oddly. “As you phase. M It was just then that Jim came back. He looked surprised at seeing Ann chatting with Hank, after last night’s gambling affair. He mw her flush a little and look eaught Hank nodded casuaiiy to him, and moved off into the crowd. "I think.” said Jim, "that we should join the Willards now. 1 ran into Lotus a few momenta ago. She told me they are going to the paddock to have a look at the favorite before the feature raee starts.” When they reached the paddoek, the jockeys in their brilliant silks were alrMdy parading the entries. “There’s Julia,” Mid Ann. Then her Hue eyes widened. A Mg man in loud checkered suit was with her sister. There was something alxmt his face that was vaguely familiar. “Who is heT* she asked Jim. Jim smiled a little wryly. "Why; that’s the owner of the ear Vines crashed into, late last night. The man hr gave the check to. Upton is hii name.” “Oh!” She drew in her breath. "If Vince sees him here.

looks like—but if Julia brings them i together and Vince isn't fully in his senses —’’ Jim pressed her arm reassuringly. It gave her an eleetrie thrill. “Vinee is probably dosing in the grandstand logs at this minute, so don’t worry,” he told her. Mrs. Willard and Jinky were with her husband in the paddock, inspecting the gorgeous Stingnrte. Julia and Roger Upton joined them. Introductions were made. Utingaret'i owner, proudly beaming. commanded the monkey-like jockey: "Show off his paces, Steve! Take an eyeful of the winner, all of you! Isn’t he a beauty?” The powerful chestnut pawed the turf impaiicntly. No finer specimen of equine beauty had Hialeah Park seen. Groomed to the ultimate, with sensitive, flaring nostrils and upflung head, it seemed that the beautiful Slingaret longed for the coming contest which would test every powerful muscle of his Mtin-coated body Steve, th* tiny, weasened jockey, wore the Willard racing colors — red. white and blue, with a black lino. It seemed incredible that such a dwarf-like creature could handle such an animal. So to the pari-mutuel windows. for the placing of the beta on the feature now. Avery Willard wagered a large sum. Roger Upton placed a moderate bet for himself, and —to Ann's annoyance—one for Julia out of his own poeket At the last moment, remembering the emphasis with which Hank had cautioned her not to bet on SHngtrtt, Ann passed the information on to Jim—not, however, telling him the source of her information. Jim didn't take Ann's tip on Stinporee. He Mid: "I don't agree with you at all. Mr. Willard's practi eally tops in racing circles. The animal's stupendous. I'm going to put a modest flve bucks on him.” Ann placed |l(> her previous winnings on a horse named lAon Rampant. Why she did that she did not know, except that the name appealed to her. Mr. Willard didn't notice her small bet. In great good

Sis glasses were filled. “Bottoms up!” be commanded. As Ann sipped here, she whispered to Jim: “I feel rather a heel not betting on his hone—but I hare a queer hunch he won’t win!" Jim looked rather oddly at her. The party returned to the grandstand. Vince was awake now. The long row of entries for the main feature were assembled at the starting-gate. Anticipation buried high. The name of Stingarre flew from lip to lip over the grandstand, the lawns, the rails. Avery Willard held his fieldglasses glued to his eyes. "Ab-so-lute-ly he cannot lose I He's marvelous!
