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.

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.

deal to you. 1 have aketched a situ
ation that could be very unpleasant
Your daughter has killed a man. 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. Who the hell
