BREAKUP

J voice eeemcd to catch. "Oh,
lading," she began again, "Doc'c

-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

tms much to you. 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.
