NEWS OF BOX STKWAET CHAPTER VI T7AUGHAN DUNBAR spoke lowly and earnestly, In a very low tone, with iust the faintest memory of the Scotch Highlands in his phrases. He lounged back in the half-light, his fingertips to gether, his smooth black hair catching a gleam now and again from the electric bulbs which shone upon the swimming pool hard by. Cynthia liked him. She thought to herself that for some absurd reason she was pleased that he had not thought to apologize for the rather elaborate formality of his white tie and tailcoat That was, she thought, the way things were done in Europe and why should those ways be changed merely because the country night was warm? . , "Bill told me," he said, "of the wonderful things you did for him that time." "I did little enough. The dar ling. . . ." "Yes. That Is really the word for old Bill. He Is a darling chap whether In the savage heat of North Africa or the wretchedness of a bistro In Sofia. But a tough one, too. I can tell you that, Miss Merriwether." "Go on. Please do. What does he say? Does he ever get ill? Is he drinking very much? Is there enough to eat?" I Vaughan Dunbar's low voice launched out. He chose his phrases with care and with great delib ; eration, and drew the portrait . of Bill Stewart's life In Europe and Africa and the Near East Cynthia listened, enthralled until . Vaughan Dunbar seemed hardly a presence at all, but a mirror . reflecting Old Bill, as he wound his strong, devil-may-care way through the bitter mazes of pain and death. She was startled when Fred . West spoke to her. And she was not pleased. "What goes?" Fred West In quired. "I have some weird mem ory that this was supposed to be a celebration." "Oh, Fred," she said. "You startled me." ' "Happy indeed to learn I can make some sort of impression on you." Vaughan Dunbar was standing. "I really did not mean to monopo- ' lize Miss Merriwether." Fred looked at him. The look " was not that of a friend. Fred said to Cynthia, "Colonel Merri wether would like to see Mr. Dun bar. Something about getting the lowdown on the European situa tion." 'THEY walked toward the house, and Vaughan Dunbar sat down beside Colonel Meriwether's desk, and lighted one of the Colonel's cigars, and Fred took a not alto . gether willing Cynthia off to the dance floor. The musicians had ' warmed by now and were giving . out more lively tunes, and the wine had sown the seeds of merri ment For something beyond an hour, Vaughan Dunbar conversed with Colonel Merriwether, as others of the guests came in and listened ' a while and moved out again , telling the tale of European an guish: of veiled hopes in Vichy - and Norway and Holland, of fear In the lands whose cities bear such queer and juicy names, of incredible strength in Germany and incredible valor in England. But despite the fact that cer tain of the guests found seats and remained In the library, there was no general discussion. For that was not the manner of the Colonel's library at Stone House. Toward midnight, Vaughan Dunbar arose to go, and Penny Hunter (who saw this happen) told Mitchell Grace to fetch Cyn thia (her word being "pronto") and Cynthia came hurrying. "But Mr. Dunbar will stay with us mustn't he, Colonel?" But before the Colonel could give his measured answer, Dunbar hastened to say that he could not think at remaining as house guest Delightful hospitality, profoundly appreciated but he had his quar ters In the city and certain work which would ... "Then you will come back very soon?" a most disappointed Cyn i thia answered. And Colonel Mer riwether spoke also, saying that he would be grateful for further opportunity to share Mr. Dunbar's company and to receive more en lightenment upon the confused events abroad that Mr. Dunbar was more than welcome to make himself at home at Stone House. . Y0U most kind," said Vaughan Dunbar. He seemed, for an astonishing moment, to be : confused, or taken aback. But that was for only the most fleeting . breath of time. "If you like any sort of riding, : next time you come, we're fresh in with horses," Cynthia said, v Dunbar said, without smiling, "I am afraid libotUd cut iMfeM sorry figure. My early education was neglected in that direction." "But we shall expect you back again." "Delighted if I may. You have been so very kind, Miss Merri wether." "Even a creditor, if he's Bill Stewart's pal, is a friend around here." "Then I am happy to believe that Bill's debtors are welcome also." "Sunday is the polo final. You'll be with us then and no argu ments. Please." "I will be most happy." Cynthia walked with him to his car, which stood in the driveway. She shook hands with aim and thanked him for coming with such wonderful news of Bill Stewart He said that he would have the wit to telephone before doing such a thing again. She said it would not be all that formal, unless he insisted upon making it so. And he got into his roadster and drove away toward the city. Cynthia Merriwether was to be forgiven, perhaps, for the relish with which she told Henry Pren tiss of Vaughan Dunbar's arrival upon the scene at Gull Point The idea of stirring a twinge of jeal ousy within the breast of that cavalier soul was, of course, be side the point But he had run out on the party the pig. And he had been downright abrupt concerning the reasons for that running out If only he had used a little diplomacy like business duties, or seeing the doctor, or even an old college chum She tried her best to tell him about Vaughan Dunbar. He tried his best not to listen. But when the last cocktail was gone he knew, though he pretended not to know, that Mr. Vaughan Dunbar was a gentleman of poise, manner, breeding and accomplishment that any woman would pause at least twice before deciding that 1 Goggles adjusted and ready for a take-off is Tech Order, flying mascot of the Cloudhoppcrs Squadron at Army Air Forces gunnery school, Tyndall Field, Fla.
