In the lew days which pre ceded it, the activities of every body concerned had been conven tional, and therefore unexciting, and therefore casting no shadow of the harsh event that was to come. Cynthia had dined at the Rain ; bow Room with Vaughan Dunbar, who had been reticent and a trifle uneasy. It had been . brief evening. When he returned her to Stone House, Captain Push was sitting with Colonel Merri wether. The Colonel urged them to par take of something cool and re freshing, but it seemed to Cynthia that Vaughan Dunbar positively hurried through his Planter's punch. Likewise, it seemed to her, it was with actual relief that he rose quickly and bade them all good night Even Colonel Mcrriwether re marked upon the circumstance, after Vaughan Dunbar was gone. "Our guest seemed a trifle per turbed," he said. And Captain Pugh observed that Europeans were likely to have a rough time of it with our lata summer weather. During those days, also, Henry Prentiss had dropped around with his customary informality, to chat by the swimming pool or sip long drinks on the lawn, or loaf about - the stables. Mrs. Porter West had entertained at cocktail time at the club, though, as Fred West rue fully confessed to Cynthia, "She had a hell of a time persuading the chairman of the House Com mittee to put it on the cuff." At this affair, as a matter of Unimportant incident, the wager ing upon the polo game was re duced to decently modest sums, and good humors were thoroughly restored. Mitchell Grace had been ab sorbed in one of the Colonel's letters and telegrams and cables. fXR that Sunday, Vaughan Dun bar arrived at Stone House at half after noon. He had been in vited for luncheon, and the polo igame, and the party which Cyn (thia was giving to celebrate the Victors and console the van quished. He came rather earlier than had been expected, for it was Colonel Merriwether's habit to make his first appearance of the day at luncheon time, and luncheon time was invariably 1 o'clock. Cynthia, too, was above stairs, and Vaughan Dunbar had, in fact, to cool his heels in the darkened study for the better part of a quarter hour, j Then Cynthia appeared, and .ang for cocktails, and began a ctory about Bill Stewart which she had neglected to tell before. But she did not have the oppor tunity to finish it For Mitchell jGrace entered, bearing a telegram addressed to Vaughan Dunbar in Ithe care of Colonel Merriwether. The telegram seemed to annoy him. . "Why the devil such a hurry?" be murmured to himself. And then, to Cynthia, "I shall have to run back to the city. It's a plucky bulsance." , Oh, dear me," she said. He idly handed her the yellow Sheet "Urgent thJlt you confer with me immediately. Every mo ment of delay costly. Important pew developments. Robert" "But this is just simply hor rible," Cynthia said. "Can't you Bet him on the phone?" Vaughan Dunbar shook his head. "Can't," he said. "I'll just have to go. But I shall return. Sometime in the afternoon, tthe game is not over, IH find my way to the field. Otherwise, I'll come back to the house here if I may." His hat was still on the table. He picked it up, touched her hand tor an instant, bowed and simply Was gone. He walked out of the door and down the steps and got into his car and left with a swift ness that was actually precipitate, Cynthia Merriwether and Mitchell Grace were altogether startled. They stared at each other with half-open mouths. "Holy smoke," said Mitchell Grace. "The guy didn't even crouch for his leap, did he?" Cynthia was breathless. "It must have been must have been ter ribly Important," she said. "I'll bet his royal highness turns Out to be a spy. He moved like the Gestapo was behind the piano." "Take a cocktnil," said Cynthia t herself picking one up from the tray on the table. And Colonel Merriwether came In to receive the news that his guest had been called back on matters of great moment, which the Colonel regretted in his mild fashion. . . 'THEY finished their cocktails and were moving In toward the luncheon table when Henry Pren tiss called and promptly got him self invited to share the meal. But he could not come. Horse trouble. A pony he needed for the game had cast a shoe and cut a pastern, and another pony had coughed twice, and Henry Prentiss was up to his elbows in veteri narians. He had called to ask whether Cyn'.hla would come by his cot tage in the station wagon, to haul him and his gear to the field. Which she would do, certainly, and how was the hurt hand? Much improved. Practically well. No basis for an alibi, at any rate. And he was mortal glad she wasn't betting against him or was she, on the sly? "Oh, no. Too much afraid youH win." "Afraid?" "In bookmakers' lingo, I mean." "Farewell, my Pretty." "I'll pick you up in plenty of time." "Thanks. You're long suffer ing." Luncheon was not quite satis factory. Cynthia continued, de spite her best efforts, to remem ber the curiously swift flight of her missing guest And Mitchell Grace knew that she was remem bering, and glanced at her now and again with a slyness wLlch she considered quite contemptible. The game besan promptly at 4 o'clock. The crowd was really quite considerable and the weather fine, and the pace launched in the first period was fast enough to have even the old stagers breath ing a little faster and muttering things about suicide. Henry Prentiss was setting most of that pace. He was playing a measurable notch above his game, and gaining the bitter profanity of his opponents by way of re proach therefor. Even Captain Pugh admonished him twice in that first period yelling that he HOLD EVERYTHING! I I I -nt 71 ir ,,wrmmi i "You might as well give upr I've been trying to get space for two weeks!" Dirty fighters. There's no other name for it when a pilot bailing out of a plane in a para chute is riddled full of holes. Lynn Hurst, former Flying Tiger. . . This launches the sniper as If he were a clay pigeon. And as he soars through the air with the greatest dunease, the boys shoot him on the wing. was close to very SaJfcerous foul ing. By way of retort, Henry Pren tiss let out yet another wrap for the second period. He was scoring rather frequently, leaving all the defense work to his mates, and yelling like a madman when he was on the ball. Which w. s often. His cries of "Leave it!" and of "Get out of the way, damn you!" echoed to the far trees. (To Be Continued THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson IN THE SOUTH SEA?
