Lola Hunts malicious laugh lin
gered eerily in the silence which fol-
lowed her theatrical exit from the
room. Somewhere a door closed
with bang which changed through
the house.
Her spiteful warning struck like
an irritating burr in Brooke Rey-
burns mind. She glanced at the
two men standing back to tn, fire:
Stewards eyes, still on the doorway,
smoldered with anger; the tortured
look in Mark Trent's hurt her un-
bearably; even with his pride
knitted, his courtesy had been in
vincible. The woman had warned
him also. Why think of him, she
asked herself angrily. Better have
her mind on what Mrs. Hunt had
insinuated. Had those two men

Up to $50 years ago most race
tracks around the world permitted
all spectators on horses to enter

had their minds on the race. Their
only thought was to save their lives
from the laundering and bowling
