WAGERS AT DAWN CHAPTER XIII YNTHIA put her small, slim tUts upon her hips and stared t him. "If you're brazen enough to let respectable people look at you In that get-up, you can come around to the table and say how sorry you are alter a while." Her good humor was recovered. "We might even let you sit down. We can take It" Henry Prentiss grinned at her gain. "Where's your high-class archduke?" "He had more Important things to do than kill an evening going around In circles to stupid music." fhe said that with a certain warmth and with no smile at all. Which made Henry Prentiss' laughter sound loud, and that In turn made people look at them. She danced away with Mitchell Grace, giving Henry Prentiss one more feathered dart over her shoulder. "Put your contraption on your collar, though." Henry Prentiss did go to the table in good time, and he did sit down, and he did, surprisingly eaough, say that 'he was grieved to offend both by his appearance and his uncouth ways with women folks. Which evoked an observa tion charged with high emotion from Fred West: "Here comes that wine hog again." '; Tm buying, thank you," said Prentiss. Which he did. And to shame Fred West he raised an eyebrow at the Cordon Rouge bottle, which had been emptied - and lay dis mally in the bucket, and com manded the waiter to appear next time with Clicquot 1919, no less. Eventually, of course, he and Cynthia were alone on the lawn ' which overlooked the dark waters pf the sound sitting at a small Iron table, in small iron chairs. He said, even with a certain gentleness, "I didn't mean to be rude. Miss Pretty. And I really couldn't manage the buttons." "Where's your Man Friday?" 1 "Sick of a mighty bellyache, and gone to the care of a maiden aunt It was only wanting to see you that made me come here at ell" . ; "Why want to see me?" ' "That Is Just exactly why. You never would have asked such a Question last week. You're not Miss Pretty at aU since His High ness showed up." TIER laughter had a brittle tone. xx "Maybe it's lo-o-ove!" "Crazier things have happened. Pretty." "Calm yourself. Anon he shall depart, never, never, never to re turn. Listen, Hank. Do you be lieve I'm the type to keep a lamp burning in the window until I'm an old, old gal, and people coming all the way from Wisconsin to see if the legend is really true?" "Nope. I don't like that either." "Don't like what?" ( "You're making fun of your own emotions. That's never any good. In any language. If you really like the guy, I'm not laughing about it Though, personally, he sounds to me like a stuffed shirt" "I did a foolish kind of thing tonight" . "What? Not you!" "Told him the story of my life.H "Something I was never bold enough to inquire into." "It was funny. All of a sudden I was just spilling beans all over the place." "Well. I guess it's love, all right." "Oh, Hank ..." , "Look here, Pretty. I can take It if you have fallen for this hombre. But I can't take it being me grana old pal that carries around shoulders for his lost loves . to weep on. Button yourself up. You're acting like a baby and a cry-baby to boot" Whereupon she buttoned herself up, and remove-! the single small tear which had escaped her eye, and allowed br common sense to take commatvt once again. "If you think I'm going to apolo gize,, you're crazy," she said. "If you think I'm going to swear you to secrecy, you're crazier still. The way I read all of the best books, every girl has a right to one of thesi) damn spasms once In a lifetime." "Spoken like Miss Pretty her lelf." "A hardy woman, Prentiss. One Of nature's iron souls." "With currents that run deep?" "With mysterious and un plumbed depths." "Inscrutable?" "And glowing with a radiant light that shines from afar." "Full of primitive courage?" "And full of primitive danger. Full or primitive thirst for Old Lady Clicquot's finest. Leave u.i repair to the cave and partake of the bounteous feast" - a EVENTUALLY they aU went back to Stone House together. Very late it was, of a moonstruck night, and so It seemed advisable to swim in the pool. That aim was accomplished oh, decorously, you may be sure and then there was play at cards for stakes which made Mitchell Grace and Fred West worry aloud. And It was perilously close to dawn before they got around to the business of laying stakes upon the polo game which would be played on Sunday. The estimable widow Clicquot had worked certain familiar magic upon Mitchell Grace by the time this point was reached. Fred West's checks were pinker than the fairest Eton lad might ever boast. And he was everything that a male could be short of truculent He demanded of Henry Pren tiss, "Are you going to play." "The good doctor says yes." "Then our side Is certain to win." "And that expressed in terms of cash money, means . . . ?" said Henry Prentiss. "All I've got Which Is a single grand, after I've patched out a few places with loans here and there." Mitchell Grace named an inele gant figure. And Cynthia said, "I'll make up the rest of the pot. Hank dear and you just name what the pot is going to be. Like a good boy. Like the sweet, lov able character you are." Henry Prentiss said, "Let us not be unduly influenced by the bub bly. Let us take reason to our bosoms." And Mitchell Grace laughed. "Go ahead. Hank. Squeeze out of it if you want to." "Now, Mitchell. Be nice," Cyn thia said. Prentiss was steady. "IH lay whatever you lads want to offer. but youH have to wait until to morrow to name your figures. Cynthia and I are not betting. Reason? I don't want Miss Pretty rooting against me. I'm vain, gentlemen. Vain and proud." The butler came discreetly to suggest coffee and scrambled eggs and sausages and thus ended a night" (To Be Continued) Such a victory (Nazi) would vf enslavement for us and other nations.
