Today, the first in thirty that l

stopped at the home town of the
Hogue twins
I had heard from several sources
that the replician Jacumbans train
ed quite seriously for their battles
In valley arenas but watching 9TH
er amateur fighters go through the
PAGES before each fight, l dismls-
sed the reports with little thought.
Today, I decided, would be a fine
time to find out if the twins truly
went through grueling training ses-
sions in preparation for amateur
shows.
Shorty was preparing to run up
he invited me to jaunt up the hill
with him. l once ran twenty yards
of a mile race in grammar school,
so | determined that l would beat
the twin to the summit.
You've heard of Putting Billy,
that famous old engine which
toured up and down the tracks at
the mines near Yuma. Well, he
had nothing on me after about
thirty strides up the mountain,
which now appeared to be miles
high and about as insurmOuntable
as the leaning tower of Pisa.
I glanced at Shorty but he was
ploddmg along without SO much as
a deep breath.
How rar are We going?' I asked,
hoping that We would return after
travelling a few more feet.
ITO the top" said Shorty, with
out slackening his pace.
BY this time the mountain was
sWirling like the Mississippi during
flood time and | was rapidly losing
ground Shorty disappeared around
a turn, so | stopped to rest.
1t seemed hours later when I
reached the top-and I didn't run
Shorty was patiently waiting for
me and he didn't appear the least
bit tired.
Ready to start down." he asked
as 1 sprawled in a heap on a rough
stone that now seemed soft.
His question sent the blood run
ming faster through my weary body
and my legs seemed unequal to the
task of supporting my weight.
Let's wait a couple of days" I
pleaded, I've got a month before
I have to be back to work"

Casanova came back to the scene of his
great conquest - and his great defeat
by PHYLLIS DUGANNE

had had to run away from it, in dire fear.
He must have dreaded this return; every
contact with his past must turn the screws of
his torture. If the Monroe estate had been
less valuable, he would undoubtedly have
given it up, rather than endure the reminders
which being in Linfield must shoot into him,
like poisoned arrows. That, of course, was
why he had not come to see her; if she had
thought about it, she would have realized
that before.
She smiled. She was without rancor toward
Dirk, because she had triumphed, because she
had been, for fifteen years, anyway, as nearly
completely happy as any woman could hope
to be: but equally, she was without vestige
of sympathy for him. Dirk, with his obsession
of youth, his desperate attempts to prove his
virility by an unending succession of con-
quests seemed merely funny, now, though she
could hardly expect Laura, or even Bill, to
believe that. Perhaps if he had kept some
trace of dignity in her eyes, there would have

vocabulary - "gribes me, is that he can look
so young!'
Constance laughed. Its his religion,
Laura! It's the only thing, really, that has
ever mattered to him. He designs mag
nificent sets; he's an important man in the
theater; but hed give it all up, in an instant,
to be twenty again.
If Laura knew that at this very moment
Dirk and young Connie were playing tennis
together, she would probably explode, thought
Constance, and she continued to think about
Dirk Monroe after Laura had gone, rather
sulkily, home; to think about him with an
almost scientific interest. He had had his
twenty fifth birthday just week before ne
went away, before she had made that hyster
ical, desperate attempt to end her own life, at
nineteen. The birthday, really, had been part
of his going; she could understand that, now.
Twenty five! Twenty-Five sharp, tormenting

Don't even say the wofds!'
Laura stared at her. Constance had known
Dirk better than any of them known
him better! She had tried to kill herself,
twenty years ago, when Dirk Monroe walked
off, and here she was now, smiling, acting as
though she found all news of him inesistibly
entertaining! And he had not even come near
her.
Il don't understand you, Constance" she
said, resentfully. And l certainly don't
understand Dirk! You'd think with the life
he's led -"

that her playing of Mrs. Alving, in their
performance of Ghosts on the last bill,
was better than Nazimovas, and had been
furious when Constance laughed. Acting was
fun and she enjoyed it, but it was only small
part of Constance Allerton's full life.

considering all the circumstances, it was
natural for him to be interested In young
Connie: surely there could be no harm in his
interest, she told herself - and then she
wondered if Dirk Monroe and harm were ever
entirely inseparable. Bill looked almost appre-
hensive, and she smiled at him. "You look
tired darling" she murmured. What do you
say we have cocktail?"
Dirk Monroe telephoned her the next
afternoon.
"Constance?" his voice asked, and in spite
of all that she had been thinking about him,
she was unprepared for the storm of amuse-
ment which took hold of her. He sounded so
frightened!
"Yes, Dirk" she answered, her warm voice
