to focus on some far away point,
as though they had entered a
financial world where the man
tried to balance the advantages
of the possession Of tenth of a

CHAPTER 81

WHEN WENDA AVER ran up
the wide stairway, along the bal
cony, to her own door, her cheeks
were flaming color and her eyes
were flashing her anger with Car
nv Page who had tried to oppose
her in her wish to leave his play.
The rage reached out like a circle
and drew Barbara into it-sucked
her as though whirlpool had been
formed.
So this was the girl for whose
sake Garry had aroused Jimmy
Minton's displeasure! Wenda had
known that Garry once was fond
Of Barbara. She had known, too,
that Garry heartily disliked Min
ton and had mistrusted him ever
since. the findings in, a case in
which Minton was once involved.
What case, she wondered now?
Well, she would ask Jimmy and
find out.
Wenda liked white. Now she
pulled a white wooden frock over
her golden hair, brushed and re-
arranged her hair so the yellow
bang curled provocatively above
the immense dark eyes that shone
behind long, dark eye1ashes, and
snapped some gold bracelets
around her wrists.
She stood before the mirror
breathing deeply, coaxing her
mouth and eyes to lines of peace
When she was satisfied, she opened
her door quietly and started down
the stairs.
Jimmy Minton was alone in the
den. The logs were burning stead
lily in the fireplace, and a reading
lamp shone on a small table neal
his chair. Otherwise, the den, the
big book Lined room where Basi
Worthington enjoyed his privacy
when he wanted it, was in shadow
Bobbie called from game
room, just beyond.
''Mr. Minton? How soon viii
you be ready?"
''Bobbie 2" Wenda asked, in sur
prise.
We've a date for ping pong

his voice to call to the child

the wall.
'Sit down, Wenda," the MAI
said. 'You look very beautiful to

millionaire and he made lunge,
hurting more invectives as he
came. /;
"Stop!" .
The shrill penetration of Bob
bie's voice made the woman and
men look towards the direction
from which he had come. In his
hand he was clutching the gun
which Minton had been showing
him earlier in the evening.
! Before the three people in the
room had a chance to take the gun
from him, Barbara came rushing
through the door from the game
room. Her face was white and her
eyes were so dark that they were
frightening.

commanded, and the gun clattered
to the floor. She whirled like a
gray cloud on Jimmy Minton.
"You had a bunch you could get
the child to shoot Garry, didn't
you? Don't think was so dumb
I didn't understand! All that talk
about the gun being unloaded and
how it would make a big noise

viper! And he was going to let
you have it instead! IF it hadn't
been for using an innocent little
child that way, it would have been
a good thing for the world if he
had!"
Barbara's words came so fast
that the child, the actress, the
playboy and Garry stood motion

| eyes, I know. Didn't you?"
Barbara wondered where she was
getting the courage to talk like
this to the owner of those sinister
eyes.
Wenda's voice, low and 1modll-
lated and soft as a stream of silver
in the tensenesS of the room, fol-
lowed Barbara's.
my dear, if you are so agitated
because you thought I was taking
Garry from you, please don't dis
turb yourself. I've quite released
him.
The loathing that she felt for
Wenda sno1dered in the gray
green eyes, but Barbara kept her
own tones as low as the other
girls.
Garry is just an old friend Of
mine, Miss Aver. I have no inten-
! ton whatsoever of ever marrying
him." Then, her shining head held
proudly but her eyes glistening
) with tears, she stopped over,
picked up the gun, and walked
from the room.
She knew that Garry followed
her. Barbara, what are you GO
ing TO do with that?" he asked.
Before she could answer. a gay
shout came from the living room.
Hello, Barbara! Hi, Garry!
I'm just in time for tea and how
!: good it's going to taste!" Ray
Upton had arrived.
. Maybe it was better that there
, was no time now to talk to Garry,
, Barbara unused, as she held out a
J welcoming hand and concealed the
gun behind her. AS soon as she
could, she would slip away and
take it to Natalie. She was afraid
