"You suspected that there was one. didn't you? You and Jed Stew-acame to live in the Other House to watch me, didn't you? Do you think that I have forgotten that you called me a schemer?" "This seems to be turning into a question and answer period. Suppose you let rr.s tell my side of the story. Sit down, please." "I prefer to stay here. Go on. I hope it doesn't take long. I have a lot to do before I leave in the morning sorry to have to ask to let the furnishings stay here until Mother gets back, but " "Don't be so breathless, dearest." "I'm not breathless, and I'm not your dearest. I wish yuu would say what you forced your way in here to say and and go." "All right, remember, you asked for it. I came to say that after I knew who you were that day in Jed's office, I didn't believe that you had used 'undue influence' with my aunt. I admit that for a while I tried to fool myself, but I couldn't keep it up. I didn't open my house because I wanted to 'watch' you. I decided to do it on Thanksgiving day, because I liked you and your 'whole darn family.' As the weeks passed, Jed and I were sure that if the second will had not been destroyed, Henri knew where it was. Not knowing its contents hampered us." "But you know now?" "Yes. And it hurts infernally to think that you should have been " drawn into this sordid "Why shouldn't I be? It's what might be called poetic justice, isn't it? Didn't I start the trouble when I went to Lookout House to see your aunt the first time? I'd been warned that business and friendship won't mix any better than oil and water. Now I know it. You had suspected for weeks that I had no right to your aunt's money, and yet you and Jed Stewart let me keep on spending and spending. When I think of those two cars I bought I almost lose my mind. How can I ever pay it back?" "Pay it back! Don't be foolish. There is no question of paying it back. Have you forgotten that Mary Amanda Dane left an income to you?" "You don't think for an instant, do you, that I would accept a cent of that money? Would you take any from me when I tried to divide with you? I'm surprised, I'm really surprised that you don't play the martyr and ask me to marry you." "No. I shan't ask you to marry me. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but, believe me, I've learned enough not to make that one." His cool denial hurt Brooke intolerably. He hated her, she told herself. Why shouldn't he? "In the library a while ago you told Lucette you were leaving here because you had accepted an offer. Are you engaged to Jerry Field?" A gate in the wall! A way out without letting him know that she cared, how desperately she cared for him. She laughed. "I Here come Sam and Lucette. They are stamping snow from their feet outside as a warning that they are about to interrupt our conference. Amusing, isn't it?" "Amusing to you, perhaps. It isn't to me." Sam's face was as red as the fire as he and Lucette entered the room "Sorry to interrupt, but" "Don't apologize." "I'm not apologizing." His face went from red to crimson. "I'm only trying to explain, Brooke, that the inspector's walking the floor and gnashing his teeth and muttering something about keeping the Law waiting. He wants you, Mark, and he wants you quick." "I'm going." Mark Trent paused on the threshold. Brooke. We'll finish our talk tomorrow." C EmllM did that grubby question CHAPTER J t, XVI "We'll finish our talk tomorrow." A month had passed since Mark Trent had flung those words as her. since she had left Lookout House. They had echoed to the accompaniment of the whir of the wings of the great plane in which she had flown south at the urgency and the expense of Carston's Inc.; they had intruded in business hours: they had flitted like wraiths throuch hot dreams The days slid past breathlessly was conscious of a sort of breathless urge to keep up with something which was escaping her. Keep up with what, she asked herself, as in the flower scented dressing room ot Carston's, Inc. she slipped out of the green organza number she had been modeling and into a frock of cool yellow linen She was looking out unseeingly at the palm bordered white street when Madame Celeste entered. Her thin white frock rested Brooke's eyes after the rainbow collection she had put on and olT for the last two hours. "You done noble, cherie," the woman approved heartily. There was something in her nasal twang as refreshing as a breee from a thousand New England hills blowing through this tropical paradise.

She The char- 'last appearance" in Brooke's the etrated pen-turm- mind. "Last appearance What do you mean?" Madame Celeste twisted her amethyst beads. "Cherie, don't go white on me. You know business hasn't been too good, and I have What Do my orders. After the fashion show I'm to hand you a check for your commissions and a month's pay and you're through." "But but I thought I had sold a lot of frocks since I came." "You have, and you can search me for the boss's reasons. Never knew him to turn a trick like this before but, I ask you, is any business being run as it ever was run before? I'll tell the world it isn't. I'm terribly sorry to lose you." For an instant, emotion threatened damage to the enameled calm of the woman's face. Brooke was still puzzling over the dismissal when she reached the small Bermuda-typ- e house, with its whitewashed roof and walls built around two sides of a patio, in which she had been living since she had come to Palm Beach, and entered her room. She changed from the yellow cotton frock to white shantung pajamas. She picked up letters from a desk, pushed open a window, stepped out on the gallery and breathed deeply of the light thin air. She opened a letter from Lucette. For the first two pages the word monopolized space; to even "Jerry" a feeble-mindeperson it would be evident that Jerry Field was leading in a long stag line Brooke was glad of that, but how did Lucette manage to take on all the festivities and be fit for her work in the morning? As if she had anticipated the question, Lucette wrote, with words heavily underlined for c.ever seen a man who, when introduced to you. didn't stand a little straightor. fuss with his tie, and look get that in his eyes; and you're grand fun and the life of the party "There, you have the inside siory of my life, so what?

Its pied ecessor is folding up; it was a te: rible flop." Brooke shut her eyes to keeb oat k tears. She had known that Lucette loved her, but that she set her on a pedestal was unhelievable As to that Kiok m a man's eyes, she should have seer. Mark Trent's when he had caiied her a "schemer" in Jed Stewart's otlice. Why think ot it? Hadn t she plenty of happier things to think of? She glanced at the clock.

Mark Trent loomed over her. "Put this on again," he commanded grimly. "Why won't you touch that monev?" Brooke thrust her arms into the j thrilling game of Milady, why not take advantage of the holiday season and catch up? Today's trio is especially right for "vacation sewing" because it consists of simple practical pieces that require little time and trouble. Make all three and you'll have gone a long way toward putting the old punch back in the game. Streamlined Styling. The slip at the left is all you could wish for from the standpoint of styling. It offers superb lines from the moderately low cut V waist neck, through the dart-fitte- d right down to the very hem. The clever overlapping back is light proof and provides an action pleat so necessary for complete satis- -' faction. Important, too, is the fact that you may choose the ma--j terial you wish in your own color. Better make it in duplicate for many meticulous months ahead. Pretty in Sheer Wool. The two-piein the center is, like the slip, heavy on style. The defined waist is effectively young as is the flowing skirt and little round collar.
