Love Story Of a Bridge Queen

start as it brushed against her
arm. The noise was incredible.
She heard the wild clamor of
the wind, the ceaseless banging
of the shutters, the creaking Of
the house itself, as she groped
toward the card room and OBJ
served in faint surprise that the
door was closed. Odd of Julian
to close the door.
"I'll wait, if need be, till
morning. I must talk to you to-
night" he had said.
Had he gone to bed? No. He
would not go to bed until he saw
her. She knew Julian we'll
enough to understand his in
flexible determination. She
hesitated to form again in her
mind the words which would
combat the force of his argu-
ment. Julian would not ap-
prove. She must talk him down.
Leaning forward she knocked
vigorously enough to be heard
above the storm. There was no
reply. Again she knocked with
no result.
Julian" she called and then
shouted, Julian"
BeWildered, shaken by some
nameless dread, she stood very
still in the darkness of the hall.
Her mouth felt dry. Her heart
was pounding. Silly to be so
disturbed.

she had survived it. From the
beginning she had feared ex-
posure. She had been exposed.
From the beginning she had
feared that Clark'S love was not
for her. That, too, was true.
It was at a time like this
that the gambling blood her
father gave her stood the girl
in good stead. It's all in the
breaks, Patricia, he told her SO
many times. No use whining,
take the cards as they lay.
That goes for life, too. I guess
it goes for anything. Perhaps
she had not had the breaks.
Why whine? She had gambled
and she had lost.
Anyone can smile when win
ming; the test comes in defeat.
James Randolph Warren would
have been proud of his daugh-
ter could he have seen her
square her shoulders, pick up
her bag and start down the
darkened stairs to fight it out
with Julian Haverholt.
Holding carefully against the
balustrade, the bag humping
against her knees with every
step, Patricia reached the foy-
er. The foyer too was pitchy
black. Outside the storm con-
tinued unabated. A tapestry,
blown by q savage current Of
air gave her an unpleasant

stairs. He had tired of waiting
and had gone to bed. Somehow
she felt sure he hadn't. It was
the frightful racket that upset
her nerves and her apprehen-
sion of the imminent scene. Per
haps he had dropped to sleep
inside. She knew the sound
ness of his slumber; he was a
man who, by his own admis-
sion, could not be walked by less
than an explosion.
Julian Killed
Patricia turned the knob,
pushed against the door. With a
sense of definite shock she saw
that there was no light in the
card room. A fine spray of
water blew against her face. A
window must be open.
Julian" called Patricia, her
tone high pitched and fright
ened, Julian"
Her voice was lost in the Wild
ness of the wnd. Suddenly she
was desperately afraid. She was
afraid to turn on the light. Her
knees shook violently, a lock of
loosened hair whipped across
her mouth. Trembling, terri
fled, she fumbled for the switch.
Light blazed into the room.
Julian Haverholt was seated
in his leather chair. Cards
were scattered on the table be-
fore him and were Scurrying to

child. In her own unhappiness
she had forgotten Julian. If he
had failed to see her side of it
she had most certainly failed
to see his. Because sh e was
Wretched she would rob him of
the triumph of a lifetime. She
owed m uch h to Julian. S h e
owed him less h a n marriage
and more than flight. There

Patricia found it.
Debts to Pay
By reason of IN cir engage
ment, she could in all dignity
insist that she should leave this
roof. Julian himself should ac-
company her to a hotel. Until
the bridge marathan had run it's
course, the engagement should
stand. Upon the termination of
the match. she would slip from
Julian's life and from the world
that knew her, and try to find
what happiness she could in
other ways than playing bridge.
So Patricia planned it.
In a mood more mature than
she had known in her 19 years,
Patricia pulled out the smart
pigskin bag that had once de-
lighted her and knelt to pack
the necessary clothes. After all,
there was a kind of bitter salts
faotion in knowing that the
worst hRd d happened and that

rain was dashing from the
open window. Julian's gray
eyes were wide in a look Of
infinite surprise. Down his
cheek a thin trickle of blood
moved from a bullet hole in his
forehead.
He was dead.
Patricia knew that she was
screaming. Above the wild fury
of the storm she heard her
own screams of mortal terror.
Julian'S open eyes stared
straight into her eyes. Rain
poured through the open win
dow just behind him, beat upon
the carpet, dashed across his
hands. Blood moving slowly
down his forehead, twinkled on
his shirt front, shone upon the
bustling cards beneath his out
spread hands. They danced
with every savage gust of wind,
leaping from the table to the
floor like autumn'S falling
leaves.
The girl clawed backward at
the door and then ran forward
with a rush and flung herself
beside the leather chair crying
It was no use. Julian HaVer-
hold was dead. The smile of
faint surprise was fixed for
ever on his lips. The rain
poured upon them both, the

everyone must adopt who has
any ambition to fall down on
the center court at Wimbledon.
Tennis is not a game that one
picks up overnight, like Truth
and Consequences" or aban-
dons overnight, like Truth and
consequences" It is game
calling for eternal practice, con-
slant study, and easily opened
pores. An extra set Of arms
and legs also come in handy.
MY interest in tennis began
when I was about 4 years old,
when used to watch my
brothers and sisters playing on
the court just outside our
house. CA short trolley-car ride
to the end of the line and then
by blackboard through vipgin
forest to the tennis clubO I
used to stand by the side-lines
and help them by running out
into the court whenever a ball
was served. Sometimes I even
succeeded in actually intercept
ing a serve before it hit the
ground. But always managed
to be on the spot when it was
returned.
"That kid will play tennis
some day." said one OF my
brothers proudly, "either that,
or end in the electric chair"
The popular vote, at the time,
was for the electric chair.
Then came the day when l
was given my first racket. 1t
was my sisters racket, and I
was given it across the neck
and shoulders, but there WASN'T
a prouder little boy in town that
day. I had won for my sisters
opponent) the Ladies Singles
Championship of the Worcester
Country Club.
Then began the practice for
myself. I got an old ball (all
tennis balls are old balls) and
a racket, and would get up at
6 every morning a n d bat the
ball against the side of the
house where our guest room
was. This took perseverance
anN stamina, as complaints be-
gan to pour in and my ball and
racket were locked up in my
parents room until 10 a. m. But
I overcame this obstacle by rid
ing my bicycle back and forth

We hope they are having
the happiest of birthdays and
that we, as editor of this col

opportunities to offer them our
good wishes.
Birthdays are very important
events to little boys and girls.
AS well they should be. Christ
mas, of course, is SWELL and
then there is the Fourth of
July and any number of other
important days. But birthdays
are our very own. Unless we
are twins we don't have to
share 'em with anyone.
1t is because of this that
we always take such delight
in offering our members birth
day wishes. We only wish we
knew the dates of the birthday
anniversary of EVERY member
of the club. There are over
11,000 boys and girls in the
Adventure Club, and, if we
knew all the birthdays, send
ing out the cards would be
quite a job. But we would
gladly do it because we feel
this way about birthdays.

(for I suppose it is a trick,
really) came to me accidently.
when I found that what I was
doing naturally was making my
opponent practically helpless in
my hands. He sometimes would
even give me the game by de-
fault and retire to the side
lines in hySteria.
So I cultivated this knack Of
mine, and to it I lay what sue
cess I have had in the game to
date. Naturally, 1 prefer singles
to doubles, as a partner does
not always think it so funny.
Then, about seven years ago,
I had the good fortune to
throw my left knee badly out Of
Joint at a wedding, with thG
result that practically any ply
sical eXertion on my part now
results in it's bending backward
as we'll as forward. So, while
other people are lashing them
selves into a lather at tennis.
1 can sit under the trees and
knit, with the excuse my old
knee, you know. Darn it,"
Thus have acquired an out
look on the game which few
professionals have, which, after
all, is my only Justification for
these few notes.

the frilly little blouse, the SIM

her stockings and her shoes.
Her plan was formulating. She
had borne enough; she could
bear no more. Escape at any
cost was the essential thing.
To pit her decision against
Julian's will, to face his argu-

When I went away to school,
each boy had to choose one form
of athletic sport and indulge in
it every day between the hours
of 2 and 4 p. m. 1 chose tennis,
as the courts were quite a dis
tance from the school buildings
and, as they we're alWaySe full,
I could sometimes get in a whole
two hours sleep under the trees
without being reported. And I
may say, incidentally, that all
during my tennis career 1 have
always found the courts full
enough to justify a little snoo3e
now and then, or even a trip to
a neighboring town for a movie.
AS my form gradually i'm
proved to the point where I did
not rely entirely on the lob for
returning the ball, I developed
system which has been the
backbone of my game, both in
