Chapter 21 THOSE JOBS" fiLARICE did not aeem Impressed by Mason's threat to reTeal ber lit history to Brynmor. "Too mean about my living In the slums, dancing In tougb Joints t Ob. veil, there's nothing very bad about that. More credit to me that I pulled myselt out ot tbe rut." . Freddy chuckled. "Credit to youT Wbo gave you the chance to get training to be a good JancerT You know I've never stinted you.' ""Well, I've paid you back, uaven't I?" she demanded. "How about all those jobs I've belped you pull off!" "Oh, yes, those Jobs. What would Master Brynmor think about them?" 8he decided to try another line o(' argument. "Come on, Freddy, be a sport, she pleaded. "I've always wanted to go straight, marry Into decent society. This Is a good cbance for me, and I bate to turn It down, Besides, I'm fond ot Brynmor, Ho's a decent kid." Freddy yawned and stretched his arms. "I've told you what's what, Clary. You either give up all Ideas of this wedding, or I'll spill the beans to the handsome bridegroom. He'll . be amused to hear ot the little trlok we turned together at tbe Emerald Dragon. It's funny, but didn't It occur on the very night that you became engaged to hlmT . (Julie romantic, I'd say." . With tbat he loft ber. She beard him chuckling In the hallway as the maid banded him his coat and bat Bt she didn't bear the few words be whispered In the girl's . ear, Tho last vestige of her self-control snapped aa she heard the door closo behind him. Her whole frame shook with an Intense fury. So Freddy thought he could stop the wedding, did bet Well, for once be !iad ovorstepped tbe mark. She wasn't going to have her whole life ruined Just because ot him. Bbe'd outwit him but how! Tbat needed thought. Was she 10 confess everything id Brynmor? Trust to his love to prevent biro backing outT Tbat solution she set aside as being too risky. She never had been wholly con vinced ot Brynmor's love. At times It flavored too much ot Infatuation. Besides, there were the objections of his father. Colonel Whittamore: .No. the danger was too great. Somehow she must contrive so that Brynmor was left In Ignorance at least until after tbe ceremony. v"lt only Freddy could be kept out of the way for the next few days," she thought. "Then he can say what ha likes and go to the devil for all I care!" There came another Idea, but Wr first reaction was to shy away from It It was an easy way out yet It would be a deteatsbls trick. Still, Freddy had threatened to use equally detestable meana to stop the wedding. Wouldn't It be excus able If she turned the tables on hlmT It was some time before Clarice Anally decided to put ber Idea Into action. Even then, with ber hand on the telephone receiver, she hes itated. In the old days Freddy bad boen a good pal to her. Ha had given her the chance to make good with Itor dancing. In a way she wae fond ot htm. Until Brynmor came on the scene she hadn't been alto gether averse to the Idea of clear ing out with blm tor some other country. Now all that was changed. Mar riage with Brynmor would lead ber Into a very different life, one which appealed to her aa far more agree able. 8 he always had longsd for an entree Into society. Anu. apart from that aha liked Brynmor him self. Now thai she was so near to at taining ber dream, would she let Freddy ruin HT Not If she knew ltl A tew minutes later she bad an Inspector of Scotland Yard on the telephone "This rail la anonymous," she said In a low pitched voice. "I be lieve yuu'f K,-,rklr.g on the recent series of robberies In vsrlous night clubs. 'Gentleman Freddy's' your man. He's not abroad, aa you think. You'll dud him tonight at No. 11 Hcd Hart Square. But you'd better be quirk." With that abe rang oft. She waa breathing heavily as she put down tbe receiver. Now that she actually bad done It she experienced a sense of fear. If Freddy aver found out ... A noise In the hallway caught her attention. Sbe sprang to her feet and threw open tbe door. The maid was on ber knees, pol lshlng tbe floor. Clarice stared at her In surprise. "What are you doing, Gwen, polishing the floor at this hour ot night?" 'The gentleman bad such muddy feet I thought I d clean It up be fore I went home, miss," the girl apologized. Clarice didn't comment but ber suspicions were aroused. Why should there have been muddy foot. prints In tbe ball when it badn't rained tbat day? In tbe light of his approaching marriage, Brynmor bad dismissed all worries about Freddy Mason Instead, bis mind was agog with thoughts ot the wedding and tbe Paris honeymoon with Clarice. He bad the special license and tickets to Paris In bis pocket He glanced at tbe evening paper as be dashed homeward. Tbe head lines read: "Daredevil Tony Still Missing." Tbat meant continued grief tor Mary Lou. At once Brynmor bad the Impulse to telephone her and extend bis sympathy. Surely It would do no barm, and It mlgbl cheer her up. Mary Lou's voice sounded truly grateful when he did call. Ob, yes, we're still hopeful," she replied to bis questlcu. "I'll let you know It we hear anything." Her sincerity embarrassed Bryn mor. I I'm afraid 1 won't be here for tbe next few days," he stammered. "You see, I'm being married tomor row. We re going to Paris for a few days, you know." He felt tactless In saying It, yet Mary Lou seemed positively en thused. Be bad to admit tbat she had been the best kind of a sport about tho whole affair. She's a topping kid," he pon dered as be bung up the receiver. Wish I badn t been so mean to ber that first nlgbt she came to town. But after all, that's a thing ot the past " Immediately his thoughts swung to the future. Tomorrow at this time be and Clarice would be on their way to Paris and two weeks of excitement , . He dressed rapidly. Clarlco didn't know of his plana for a honeymoon, and he waa eager to break the news to her. Brynmor had considered his fa ther's objections to the marriage, hut they didn t seem so serious now. What could his father say. once he really waa married T Colo nel Whittamore alwaya had been reasonable about most things, and Brynmor only hoped he would take a decent attitude when It came to accepting Clarice as a daughter-ln law. He hailed a cab and urged the driver to make all possible spoed toward Clarice's flat He had walked tbe distance many times, but tonight It seemed that the cab was Inexcusably slow. Congested traffic at aeveral cornera made It even worse. Finally Brynmor stepped out, his face flushed with the excitement ot anticipation. He ran up the walk, and started to ascend the stairs to Clarlco's door. A sound behind caused him to look back. As ha did so be felt tbe grip ol a band on his arm, and the figure of a man stood beside him In the dimly lighted stairway. Hello, Whltlnmoro. Just going up to seo Clarice, were youT I think I'll come along, loo." Brynmor recognised the voice Immediately, and with a sharp sense of annoyance. Who else ex cept Freddy Mason spoke with such a sneerT What was ho dolus here tonight ot all times T Thor oughly disgruntled by the fellow'r Interruption, he turned to face M son directly. Whsts the big Idea. Mason? be demanded In Irate tones. "I'm sick ot soolng you whenover I conn to see Clarice. What's, your lam. in trailing ma like this, anyway' I n taking Clarice out to dlnnei tonight and I want no Intertorenci from you or anyone else." It waa the first time Ilrynmn had unloosed his steadily growim wrath against Mason, and be rather surprised at his own oui burst Ha half expected Mason Ii retort with blows, hut Freddy onb grinned. Calm yourself, tnd," be replied I won't be bothering you murl longer. It we never see each olhei again, we're going to see Clarice to gother this time. Understand?" Brynmor decided It was best l say nothing, and they mounled th talrs to Clarice's door. ICopyright. JJI slaysie atrial In SaturdAy'i ehaptvr Brynmor lolttd by torn news that augeara him.
