LESSONS IN LOVE

~ By JERRY BRONDFIELD

YESTERDAY: After Larry kissed her, he proposes to Barbara. She redlizes she doesn’t love him and rejects his offer of marriage. She refuses to admit that she is romantically interested in Dugan, but alone at home she concedes to herself that falling in love with Blake is not a remote possibility. ‘to seé little of him during the next few days. Larry, however, tries to persuade Dugan to remain in New York. They talk about iffafter they have won the first game iif the round robin polo series. Dugan says he had better go back to Oklahoma.

CHAPTER TWELVE SUE CAME ALONG to pick up Barbara after lunch. They swung off -through the gray stone gates of the Chase estate and down the smooth oiled road toward the polo field. i “I spoke to Larry Grover this morning,” Sue said. “You did? You mean. to say you got up at 10 o'clock for that early game? Sue, youre losing your mind.” © “No, just like polo.” tinued: “I spoke to Larry. He said - he proposed to you last night, and you passed him up.” Barbara was surprised. “Why— yes, but what made Larry bring that up?’ “Guess he had to unburden his soul to someone, and I was handy, in a motherly sort of way.” - “Of course,” Barbara said dryly. “Larry also said he’s trying to get Dugan Blake to stay in New York. Or at least to come back here soon

“I knew tha here we are, and it's your problem from now on.” - Barbard sat throughout eight chukkers «of polo but her mind wasn’t on the game. Even the fact that Briar Hill won didn’t affect , her as much as the news Sue had told her. } She got Uncle Hank off by himsef that night after dinner.

“Has Larry Grover made any

overtures to you to keep Dugan Blake in New York?” she: demanded. Uncle Hank packed his pipe before he spoke. “Yes, he did. In fact, I thought it would be a good idea for the future and talked to Dugan about it, but he hardly listened to what I had to say. Never dreamed he was in such a hurry to get bac to Oklahoma.” > od Barbara got an intense feeling of satisfaction out of that. So, he was putting his tail between his legs and running out proper. Good. Very good. Mr, Dugan Blake, the terror of the tribe, definitely had decided on: the safety of his Oklahoma oil fields.

She settled back on the rear of

Sue’s convertible and awaited the championship game between Briar Hill and Ocean Side. Well, it had been an interesting interlude. She stole. a sidelong glance at Uncle Hank, : . Next time Uncle Hank had any . ideas about springing a fast one on her, she’d think twice. ! 2 8 #8 LARRY WAS JUST mounting his ~ horse when Dugan came over. - “Larry .., not that youll need any added inspiration now, but I want to wish you the best of luck .. . with Barbara.” He extended his hand, Larry Grover leaned down over his horse’s neck. “What?” “Of course. I—I happened to see .you in the garden the night of the dance, and—well, can’t I wish you

the best of everything? She's a great |

girl, Larry,” he added slowly. “I started out to spin her like a top, and she wound up having me in a . whirl, You don’t mind, do you?” Larry grinned down at him. “Well, I'll be— Look, save it, son I've something to tell you later.” To Dugan that word “later” typi-

fied the end of everything that was:

to come. This polo game was just to be a final piece of necessary busi- - ness before he could leave New * York forever; and he played as though he wanted to put the game on ice in the first chukker. He was a wild man, chances that no one else would dare

Larry shouted for him to east off, but the advice fell on unheeding ears. Dugan got two goals in the first chukker, two more in the second and was roaring on his way to 8 third when it happened. : ; ; his pony stumbled, and at the same time the Ocean Side No. 4 man crashed info him.

Dugan’s knee, and then oblivion as his horse rolled over him. The roar of the crowd was punctuated by the referee’s whistle. “He’ll never come out of that one,” someone muttered and Barbara felt as though she had heard her own death sentence pronounced: . She was scrambling out of the car even as Uncle Hank hurried up. “To the hospital, quick,” Uncle Hank panted as they ran toward his waiting car. } ’ ” ” 2 .FOR THREE HOURS Barbara sat in a chair outside the operating room. The whiteness around her knuckles betrayed her. Then the doctor appeared. His face was grave, but there was a spark of a smile around his eyes, ‘“He’l] live,” he said simply. Barbara fainted. Uncle Hank caught her, a look of disgust on his face. “Now, who's going to catch me when I faint?” he murmured. They waited another hour after Barbara was revived. * “We just want to make sure there

He made out the face of Hank Chase on his right and then turned nis head slowly to look at Barbara. -- She took his hand. “Darling” she ‘whispered. ‘You're going to be all right.” An incredulous look came into Dugan’s eyes. “Did you say darling?” he whispered. Uncle .Hank stood up. “Don’t wear yourself out, my boy, by trying to figure this thing right now. When you get some strength, she’ll probably tell you you're going to marry her.” Barbara's eyes glistened. “And if you refuse I'll take back my blood.” - “I was going to give you mine, Dugan,” Hank said, “but she got to the doctor first. Said it was the right of a- fyture wife, the little cheat.” Dugan pressed her: hand against his lips. “Wait’ll the.tribe I ars about the blue blood in these redskin veins.
