NEVER MIND THE LADY Ntvra mins rm tur s&by David Garth NIVU MMO SVSOI'SIBt Terry WUlitt hae been troien out by Allaire Weel, the grand girl he had met and talU en In love vXth in the troptce. Out oh fae icay to Allaire'e Waehington house Terry hae found Puff Har rinpfcm. whose father it a eenator and oiven to making epeeches on sugar beete And rug hae fallen hard tot Terry, and right now ie taking him on a round of Neto York ntoht rlube. Four young and pa tered college men have deaided to take Puff avoay from Terry. Chapter 87 SHORT AND SHArlP rHE man took tbe girl's bind. "Ob, don't bo nuisance," laid Puff. Wlllett stood up. "Behave yourself," ha directed. "Who're you?" "Nobody you know, but t think I're seen enough of your face." That started IL The three at the ar piled In. Wlllett saw that be was Ming mobbed and broke a chair over Christy's head. Ned tried to tackle lira football fashion and nearly bad lis brains knocked out by the piston Ike action of a knee. Wlllett fought as be had In the Jollseo In Proplonolre. grimly, dead j. ruthlessly. Walters came running, people relied above the blare of the orches tra, and finally all tbe members of the orchestra deserted their music and stood on their chairs to sae bet ter. Police came in and tbe tour foot ball players went' groglly off to Night Court Puff. Terry, and the - manager went along too. Names and addresses were re ' nuested. Puff gave bers as Jane Browning, Hole) for Women, to cover any possible embarrassment to tbe United Stages Senate. On the manager's testimony the four footbrj) players were stuck with charges of disorderly conduct and everybody else dismissed. And the Manhattan sky was tinted with erlmsjn as they rolled homeward. Puff's head upon his shoulder. "Have fun, darling;" she asked I'.eeplly. , "Sure," said Terry. "Lot'a of fun." But he hadn't. Two lousy evenings . In a row, that's what It had been. Even the fight hadn't been particu larly exciting. He guided Puff to her room and he stood on tip-toe to kiss blm good Bight "Still Galahad, darling? Tea, I see you are. Oh, well 'nlghtl" In his own room Wlllett lit a clg aret and stood thoughtfully at the window, smoke curling Bp between bis fingers. The first flow of the new day'a trafflo was beginning and tbe sun waa creeping up the facades of tbe buildings, and somewhere a girl waa asleep who'd made him feel be was missing something In life. Missing what? He'd been offered i lot of things today. Or was It yes terday? Yes, it was yesterday. Today waa tomorrow. That didn't sound right eltber. do to bed, you fool, you don't know what you want. RAYBURNH WEST had dodged unpleasant Issues all hie life. His standard was comfort and he bad been equipped to maintain that standard by reason of a good con stitution, a reckless carefree nature, and a fot'une. A sizable corps of doctors and ath letic trainers had charge of his health and a legal staff absorbed any worries about his estate. But the arrival of Ramon LaMarr that morning abould hav been defi nite proof to Ray that he couldn't dodge thlnga be didn't Ilka forever. LaMarr had discovered where be was through the butler at Westlands and when he walked Into Ray's suite at the Racquet Club It could hare been considered a piece of unmiti gated insolence. LaMarr had been In constant at tendance on Nell West all through South America and Ray knew It; be'd been indifferent because he'd found a great deal to Interest him as far aa he was concerned and be cause he and hla wife had long alnce followed their own separate Inclina tions. Rut when LaMarr told Ray what ha bad to say his Insolence waa ab solutely unmistakable, recogultable even to a man who's been previously Indifferent He tried to treeie La Marr out aa though he were an Im pudent valet but LaMarr held his cards and played a smiling, unruffled game. "You're one of those thlpgs that crawl through muck. LaMarr," he eeld finally, as coldly angry aa he'd ever been In hla life, "but It'a your damned gall that gets me. I always knew you were an adventurer and gigolo, but I didn't dream you were such an out-and-out awlne." LaMarr elghed with weary pa tlence. "We accomplish nothing, is It not oT' he said. "Please do not be melo. itr-emailr. Mr. West. I have some Coward Annoyed By Garbo Gossip LONDON, Jen. 14.

Do you or do you not want that to get out?" . "1 don t believe it" "Really?" said LaMarr. "I had thought 1 made myself clear, but you will ask her yourself, perhaps? And be quick. Mr. West For my own rea sons 1 am giving you but two days to decide." "How damned noble of you," said Ray scathingly. "I suppose you real lie this has to be taken up by my lawyers?" "That, 1 presume. Is a natural course. Shall 1 communicate with then, or with you?" "With them, r,t course. 1 don't want anything to do with you. No wait I'll see Allaire first." "And then?" "Then I'll tell you what to do. Now, clear out." LaMarr bowed. , "I will get In touch with you later today or tomorrow. May I remind yon? two daya. I am sorry to be so a'jrupt; believe me, it cannot be helped." He left and Ray sat back, breath ing a little hard, and acknowledging a fact that be had tried to Ignore for a long time namely, that as a father he was worse than useless. His daughter had run wild and Heaven only knew what she'd do next He bad to And ber and find her fast He called hla wife's home In Wash ington and asked for Allaire. She wasn't there. She bad gone out two nights before and bad not returned, nbr had she left any word. Then Ray got busy with a ven geance. He had two club attendants put through calls to the Covington Hunt Club and Camberwell Sprlnga Country Club, two favorite baunta of bers, where she sometimes went tor weeks at a time. While tbey were calling, Ray called Westlands. His butler told him that Allaire wasn't there either. Tbe attendants reported their respective verdicts; neither of tbe clubs bad seen Miss West for months. RAY began to perspire. He put through another call to his wife. Her sleepy voice over the wire near ly maddened him. "Nell? Where, in Ood'a name, la Allaire?" "Haven't the slightest Idea." ahs returned. "You know how she bobs off places." "I have to find her right away." "Why the paternal anxiety all of a sudden, dearest?" bis wife drawled. "This Is something new. Isn't It?" "Something new has come up." he told her terse!) "Your dashing friend LaMarr has Just found out she shot somebody in South America" "Rayl What on earth are you say ing?" "I'm speaking English, Nell. She killed a man In South America and he'a asking for thirty thousand dol lars to hush It up. He's giving me two days and then the story goes out I've got to find If the atory la true. It It Is, we can't let It ride. Come on, see If you can't pick up Al laire's trail somewhere. I'll hold on." There waa a silence on the other end of the wire. Nell was evidently thinking aa deeply aa she could with in the bounds of ber nature and early morning shocks. ' "1 can't Imagine Ramon acting like that Do you really mean?" "1 mean he'a a akunk and every body knew It but you. Nice speci mens you manage to pick up hither and yon." "1 don't like your tone, Ray, and you'd better change It" "Oh, Lord, lot's don't get Into an argument. Let'a find Allaire. Can't you sea that It's Important?" That percolated. "Thla Is awful. It mustn't get out Heavens I" "Well, do something," he said crisply. "Doesn't anybody know where ahe Is?" "Walt I'll see what 1 can find out" He atewed around while aha left the phone. Murderl That waa a nlc thing If It waa true. Now that he re membered It, hla daughter had acted rather strange!) alnca her return from South America. His wife returned. "All 1 can discover from the ser vants Is that a man named Wlllett called on her that night and right after he left aha went upstairs, changed from evening dress to sports clothes, and left too. She said noth ing to anybody." "What!" gasped Ray. "Do you think she ran oft with blm? That's a lovely note. Here's LaMarr black, mailing ber and already she's run off with somebody else.
