AS the rented roadster spun

toward Miami late in the afternoon
Of October 16 Mary was uneasily
conscious OF Bruce's presence be

alive" George Bowen had said.
Well, they had spent the afternoon
looking for him and obtained not 50
much as a glimpse. It was almost
an impossible task to find anyone
in the huge crowd and it was made
more exasperating by the constant
feel Of Bruce's mocking eyes upon
her.
In self-defense. Mary had kept
her eyes glued to field.glasses-
turned not upon the track, how
ever, but upon the boxes. Satisfied
that her quarry was not there, she
had systematically raked the stands
tier by tier. But The Fly, il he
was present, had eluded her. What
her next move should be, she did
not know.

They laughed and chatted like two
children.

over her winnings on a horse which
she had chosen by the simple
process Of shutting her eyes ant
poking at the list Of entries with 8
