Pats took a walk in the park to
think things over She walked slow,
ly, trying to outline the story she
must tell Don. As proof of her
astounding news she would pro-
duce the wig and glasses. Step by
step she rehearsed her lines. AU
the time a little dread tugged in
the back of her mind. Could she
convince Don of her love? And
might not his love turn to weary
indifference with the realizalon that
he had been duped? In a state of
confiding emotions she went back
to the hotel. In the lobby, the
manager, asked if he might see her

drove out Fifth avenue. But riot-
ous thoughts claimed her and she
forgot the incident.
After breakfast the next morn-
ing Don broached the subject of
their marriage contract. He told
Pats that he loved someone very
dearly, that she was in trouble
and that' he must be free to pro-
tect her with his name. Pats calm-
lyly accepted the announcement,
acknowledged his sincere thanks for
her many kindnesses and the con-
venient marriage of Don Monteray

within a few hours, to be ended.

paid by appealing to Mrs. Mon- ,
teray. Naturally she would allow
no breath of scandal to touch her ,
famous husband.
Pats explained that Mr.. Monte- ,
ray was in no way responsible for
Miss Akers, but signified her will- ,
ngmess to settle the account pro-
viding Rosie spent not another night '
in the hotel. The manager agreed
and Pate opened her check book.
The amount was rather staggering
but she wrote the check. To be rid
of Rosie was cheap kt any price
“Thank you for bringing this to
my attention,” she said. “Men in
Mr. Monteray s position are—what
shall I say—victimized?"
Going up to the suite. Pats learn-
ed from Sims than Don was lunch-
ing with his lawyer and that h.e
might not return for dinner She
dismissed the secretary for the day
and warned 81ms that no one was
to be admitted If she knew Rosie :
the fur would soon be flying and
it should not be flung at Dons
head or hers On the morrow they
would face Rosie together.

She fell to dreaming of Don. His

ing for his return to Hollywood
Perhaps they would go at once it
would obviate many explanations

Mrs Monteray had changed like
a chameleon over night.
At 3:30 Pats, leaving the hotel,
was a witness to Rosie s eviction.
Her bags were carried out and ar-
ranged neatly on the sidewalk and
Rosie, scarlet-theeked and raging

“It to love and I m this much
in earnest. Tomorrow I shall tell
Patricia, and very soon, in a few
days. I think, I shall be free again "
"But why sitould you think I
want you to be free?"
“I only know that I must be
free. I want the right to make

fiber in Pat's being yearned toward
hir Don thought she needed pro-
tection. Even with her identity
shrouded in mystery he wanted her
for his wife. It had all been simpler
than her maddest hopes. Half in-
clined to tell him the truth, she
hesitated.
It seemed so flat, so ridiculous
to say, "I am your wife, Don."
Such an anti-climax, so demand-
ing of a thousand explanations A
little nagging fear warned her that
the perfection of the moment might
be shattered by such a revelation.
So she drifted on the blissful tide.

Tday’s Contract Problem
West’s contract is seven no
trump. He can make the
hand, even though neither dia-
monds nor hearts break, but it
will require care to the timing
of his trick taking. In what
order should he cash his high
cards to squeeze out his thir-
teenth trick?
They had tea before a blazing
fire.In a small white cottage. Sitt-
ing side by side on an old Duncan
Fife sofa they drank tea from ex-
quisite Spode cups. A withered,
soft-spoken gentlewoman served
them. Twilight fell and still they
lingered, caught in the mystery
and magic of newly awakened love.
Alone in the charming room, Don
took Pats to his arms
"Darling." he breathed. "I love
you.” And blindly she raised her
lips, fiercely she clung to him
while the crimson world rocked
and spun.
' Ive kissed so many women," he
said, half laughing, his hard lean
cheek pressed dose to hers. "And
• Tre really never kissed anyone be-
a fore ”
V 'Dearest.” Pats whisperd.
Later, driving slowly homeward.
Don said, "I promised not to ask
questions but—won't you trust me
sweetheart?"
Pats nodded dreamily. "With my
ills. Tomorrow—at the Coronet.
Vaguely she wanted time to which
to choose the words of her con-
fession. Suppose his love turned to
mere regard for his wife, Patricia,
when he learned that he had been
the victim of a bold feminine trick.

the imposing entrance of the God-
dard Hotel. He was to see Ather-
ton. his lawyer.'before going home
He. too, might have news on the
morrow.
In parting he whispered, "I love
you, dear—tomorrow—"
Pats quickly crossed the crowd-
ed lobby. She saw a man-near the
desk stare at her and knew he
