something that belonged to her.
Don't be mean to ME, Derry"
she pleaded, suddenly becoming
gentle again. Il didn't mean to
hurt you"
Derry laughed. "Just like a
loaded gun, huh? If any one plays
with you and gets hurt, it's not
your fault. Oh, no, not at all"
Il didn't ask you to fall in love
with me-" Irene reminded him.
NO." he said bitterly, you only
did all you could to make me do it,
that was all. You didn't need to
ask me-"
Irene hedged again. Cant we
come to an understandings" she
urged. I'm getting cold"
"Of course we can" Derry agreed.
I'm satisfied. I just wanted to
know that you cared a little for
me. 1t will make it easier to be-
lieve that you wouldn't have
thrown me over if I'd been able to
offer you the things Gaylord can
give you.
shouldn't blame you, guess.
It was asking an awful lot to ex-
pect you to be content with me
after living in the Prentiss mansion.
No, shouldn't blame you"
Irene misunderstood. I'm glad
you see it that way ab last, Derry.
It would be awfully hard for you to
try to support me in the manner
I'm accustomed to.
II have been thinking it over, as
you said, and I realized it might
spoil all your future to have an ex-
travagant wife to take care Of.
You're so popular. You ought to
marry some one with plenty of
money"
Derry interrupted by selling her
savagly in his arms: "JuSt tell me
that you'd rather have me than
anyone else in the world if I could
support you" he said. "Then I'll
take you anywhere you say, and III
never bother you again"
why, of course, would" Irene
said softly. and I mean it, too,
Derry!"
He let her go abruptly then, and
Irene was shocked to see that he
was laughing.
What he said was even more sur
prising. "That'Il do" he said. 1T
guess I can laugh it all off now.
And I'm glad T found out what a
little parasite you are before I told
you anything about"
Irene was not listening to him,
compelling as his words were. She
was looking down the road over
which they had entered the park.
Her face whitened suddenly.
Derry followed her gaze when he
saw that she was not listening. He
recognized Gaylord's car just as
Irene screamed her husbands name.

CHAPTER FoRTY-THREE

IRENE was not to learn that eve
4 ming what it was that Derry
Meade had to tell her that was so
important. One reason for this was
that Irene did not give him the
opportunity.
Another reason was that Asa
Crewe telephoned Gaylor as soon as
Irene and Derry disappeared and
told Gaylord that his wife had been
In the store.
Asa did not know of the condi-
tons Gaylord had imposed upon
Irene and Derry but he did know
that Irene was not supposed to be
IN Oakdale, and that her presence
there meant trickery to his friend.
Asa wasn't inclined to say who
had been with Irene, but Gaylord
could guess easily enough and Asa
saw no occasion to lie about it.
Which way did they go?" Gay
lord asked. Toward town." He
meant toward Oakdale. The river
park lay in that direction from Old
Town, and Asa answered yes.
Then Gaylord began his search.
In the meantime Irene and Derry
had reached their destination, the
seni-sheltered parking space in the
park, and a heated conversation
had begun.
Irene tried to lead gradually to
the subject of breaking their en-
gagement, but Derry's love-sick
mind leaped ahead of her. He
accused her of firing Of him before
she actually had spoken.
I see," he said bitterly, you've
been thinking it over and you don't
want to marry a poor man"

having any one assume a mysteri-

him grew.
"As far as that goes" she said
haughtily, Gaylord is something
more than rich man"
'Yeah?" Derry retorted. Aren't
you late in finding it out? I thought
he was the sort Of fellow who was
Eli right in business, but a bum in
married life. Seems to me I've
heard you say he neglected you"
If you choose to remember what
I said when was unhappy" Irene
cut in, "it Just proves that you
wouldn't understand me any more
than Gaylord did. I was fool,
that's what I was, but I've learned
my lesson"
Don't be so sure Of that" Derry
cautioned her. People don't
change SO easily"

me a fool?"

The Play

Aces are seldom led against a small slam contract as the declarer is usually prepared for that kind of an offense. Most of the better play CTS, with Vests holding. would open the queen of hearts which dummy would win with the ace. Declarer would then take three rounds of trump, ending up in his own hand, West would discard two small clubs. Declarer would then lead the five of clubs to the dum- my's queen and return a club, win- ming in his own hand with the jack, West would discard heart.
 Two more rounds of clubs are taken by the declarer, a diamond and a heart being discarded by West, dummy discards a heart and a diamond, East follows. Now two rounds of spades by the declarer, West discarding the six of hearts and the queen of diamonds, de- clarer the ten and jack of diamonds. East has nothing but diamonds.
 The declarer swings his last trump, putting the squeeze on West. If he discards the ace of diamonds. the king of hearts and king of diamonds in dummy will be good, while if he discards the ten of hearts, declarer will discard the king of diamonds from dummy and both hearts will be good in dummy.
