Her J voice eeemcd to catch. "Oh, lading," she began again, "Doc'c yori think I've thought of this' I'll marry on If you want L to, only" -Whatr said Fox. "Only whatr "Only, George darling, 1 don't think I'll ever get over that fighting engineer terror, ire tried to, hearen knows 1 have. But," there iras a tar-away look In her eyes, "somehow the note still rlnga." He thought of that thin gold clga- ret case with the vanity mirror set In platinum on the cover, and the detectlvea demanding to sea the girl behind the door In Wlllett's hotel room. Maybe that ringing note would be stifled If Allaire knew about that. Her pride had lowered Its colors once, but this Fox waa suddenly convinced that 11 she knew about this, she would get over the memory ot that striding son of the engineer ing camps. And she deserved to know. Her future and his were at stake. She couldn't go on like this. He was silent so long that the girl looked at him anxiously. "Don't hate me, George. I couldn't Stand It" "Good Lord, Allaire, why should I bate you because you can't forget Terry WlllettT But" . "That's the second time you're (aid 'but' "Did I?" said Fox. Well, I forgot what I was going to say." He smiled grimly. 'It couldn't have been Im portant" They decided to drive back to ;Westlands and Allaire went to change from her riding clothes. Fox (waited for her on the verandah. ' Quite a tew of the Show crowd adjourned to Westlandu that after Boon, a tide of people eddying around tables on terrace and lawn, swirling through the house; backgammon nd bridge going fall blast, buffet tea and hors d'oeuvres served -both on the lawns and In the taproom, cock tails being shaken up In a dozen places. - . Fox waa absorbed by a bevy of girls and departed with a half hearted grin. Allaire looked after him a moment and then west Into Ray'a private study. Ray waa confer . ring with Blytbe, the majordomo of the household, on plans for the eve ning. He dismissed Jhe butler as she cniuo lu. "Come on, baby," he Kid, "get tidied up. You may have a tremen dons board to proslde over tonight' , "Bay," she said Idly, "what would you aay It I told you I was going sway?" "Going away? Where?" "South America." . He stared, astounded. "What the devil do you want to go there for? I thought George was tak in up his duties In London. Has ha been shifted back?" "No, he's still London-bound.' "Then what?" He stopped and regarded her auspiciously. "Don't tell me you've called It no dice with him too." "We both called It no dice. Only decent thing to do." "And when did this South Ameri can Idea pop up?" SHE shrugged. "It's been In my mind for a long time, only I couldn't quite bring myseir to it before. But I've felt like a person with one arm ever since he left, oh, sort of lonely and uncertain and there's no use trying to kid my self any longer. 1 ehould have gone after him a long time ago, but noth ing Is going to stop me now." "You're talking about Wlllett of tourse?" She nodded. "Of course." Ray started to smile. And that little emtio lasted while he. lit a clg. aret and leaned back, viewing her enigmatically through a cloud of moke. "Allaire," he said, "I've tried to aarn you. You're heading for fog. Tou don't know anything about Wlllett." "I know enough." . He threw back his handsome head and laughed. "Allaire, the unattainable. Un touched by scandal, possessed of the pride and Ideals of a goddess" She started to rise. He sobered Quickly. "Walt a minute." ha said. "I owe STEAL LEFT The Joke, one of exploitive mirth, la on whoever alole the 130 worth of flsecreekers from Earl Owtngs. HIS West Main street Tuesday evening.

To both you and George before it's too late." He opened a drawer of bis desk and took out several typewritten sheet clipped together. "Ever resd s detec tive agency report? Very detailed. Makes It Interesting. This Is the re port on the search for you when LaHarr was pulling bis blackmail stunt Take a look at It page four particularly." He pushed It across the deek to her. "Ray, I'm not Interested" "All right I'll read It to yon my tilt." He picked up the report raffled through to a certain page, and leaned back. "I bad them looking for Wll lett" he explained. "1 thought he could give aome clue to your where abouts. This Is an excerpt: " "Wlllett was located in the afore mentioned hotel at six-forty In tht evening. All signs pointed to the presence of a woman In the room. Wlllett admitted the tact but denied that It was the party sought On Mr. George Fox's advice and responsi bility the Investigation waa not pressed. A woman's clgaret case was taken, however, for Identification and possible evidence.' " He paused. "Ton never knew that did you?" "I don't," she said deliberately, "believe It Ton and your damn de tectives." ' "No?" He rummaged In the drawer again and brought out a thin gold clgaret case. "You'll find this described In the back of the report under detailed evidence. This Is the one they found. It was left with me and 1 didn't know who owned It But" he added posi tively, "now that I think about It I could give a pretty good guess. Yon see, we got In touch with Wlllett through Puff Harrington " ' SHE started. "Carolyn I Say, you're a fool That little" "Chaaer?" he finished. "Well, we'll see." He rang for Blythe and gave direc tions to see If Miss Harrington bad arrived as yet and If so to ask ber to drop In and aee him right away. Then he put the case In prominent view on the desk. He was getting set for a Field Day. Allaire sat numbed through all these elaborate stags preparations. And Fox had been so non-committal about how Terry Wll lett came to be mixed up In the LaMarr business. But then, Fox was a friend of Terry's. , . Puff came In r.hortly afterward with a cocktail glass In each hand. "Hello, Ray beloved," she greeted. "Hello, Allaire. Look what I've brought" A sense ot repugnance at seeing her trapped swept over Allaire. Sha picked up the clgaret case and held It out to 'Putt. "Did you lose this, Carolyn?" sbt said Impulsively. . Puff's eyes wldeaed In delight "Why, where on earth did you find that? I wondered where I lost It." She set down a glass and took II gratefully. "Thanks so much. Allaire." Allaire knew ber father's eyei were on her Ironically. "I understand," ehe eald calmly, "that you know a friend of mine Terry Wlllett" "Terry?" exclaimed Puff. Her eyes rested on Allaire, first In surprise, then In quick alive reminiscence. "I should say I do know Terry. He and I did the rounds, had a big time In New York. Did the rounda and ended up In Night Court at dawn. Ha can fight like anything" "Yes," said Allaire absently. "Itki anything." She bit her Up. then suddenly ex- cused herself and left the room. "What's the matter with her?" Puff Inquired. Ray seated himself on the edge ol the dosk. Don't worry about Allaire." ha advised. "And thanks. Puff. You've saved her from making a tool of her self. But, baby." he grinned and shook a finger under her nose, "what I know about you" Luckily, dinner under Ray's roof, although beginning formally, seldom stayed that way. People were always dropping In, and those at the table would get up and wander out be tween courses like Intermissions be tween dances. Allaire thanked her stars for that She appeared at dinner to take he place at her fathar'a wifeless board, but having etarted thtnga off, aha found It no great task to leave the dining room and go up to her apart ment She dropped Into a chair and stared out ot the window. Hum of conversation from the terraces be low, the sound of motors lo the drive and laughter and Puff Harrington dancing from one man to another.
