Thanks a lot, Cycle" He rose
to his feet. "See you tomorrow,
then,"
True to her promise Audrey
drove to the house on the hill.
There was little about Olive
Cooper to suggest the invalid.
She was propped up in nest of
pillows and wearing lacy negli-
gee of bright yellow that set off
her coloring Her hair was per-
fectly arranged, her eyes shining,
her cheeks flushed. She extended
her nearest hand, her left, in a
graceful greeting.

Mrs. Castle stared uncertainty
as this information was impaired,
but before she could decide whe-
Their or not some implication was
intended, Jeffrey appeared on the
stairs with Olive in his arms.
Wh;te-faced, and with her hair
in disorder, she looked very small
and childish. One arm was about
her aides neck, her other hand
held her hat dangling by it's elias
tic cord.
Hello, Mrs. Castle" she called
with attempted gayety. Aren't

'You poor darling!" The other
woman hurried forward and
brushed a kiss on the patients

Olive turned her head and
looked at Audrey. $50 sorry,

motion. 1t spoils everything. But
you'll come to see me, won't you?
And please do thank your father
and mother for their kindness"
The late afternoon found Au-
drey on the side porch trying to
forget everything in the pages of
a new novel. When the sudden
crunch of tires on the gravel
drive caused her to- look up, she
was startled to see Jeff in his
yellow roadster.
She was more puzzled when
she discovered that her caller was
decidedly i'll at ease. How IS the
lady now" she inquired dutiful-
ly.
"Olive? Oh, she's all right.
Sleeping when I came away. She
decided not to go to the hospital
until tomorrow. I believe we left
Olives boot behind in the excite
ment," he remarked offhandedly,

She went in and appeared with
it almost at once. "Pity Dad had

seen him"
Hes here"
"The devil you say! So it's as
bad as all that!''
"You win," she admitted to Vic
who stood smiling at her from the
doorway. Lets co."
When the stables were reached,
Audrey introduced the guest to
her father and admitted to little
feeling of relief at Vic's attitude.
He displayed a keen interest in
all that was shown him. The two
men were still deep in their con-
versation when her ear caught
the pounding of hooves in the
lane.

nounced. Lets go out to meet
them. You come too, Dad"
Audrey could not keep her adj
miring eyes from Olives smiling
face and trim, erect figure. She
was even more attractive in her
riding clothes than in a dinner
gown, the girl acknowledged to
herself. Olive was mounted on
Eileen.
Jeff was looking particularly
well in new whipcord breeches,
his shirt open at the throat, bare
headed. The group chatted with
gay informality, with the excep-
ton of Anthony whose preoccu-
pied attention was directed main
ly to Eileen's restless movements.
II was Olive who created a di-
version with a direct question to
Jeff. where are those jumps you
were telling me about, Jeffrey?
I'm anxious to try them. So is
this mare" she added as Eileen
tossed her head fretfully.

he replied with an indicating
wave of his crop, then an uncer-
tain look directed at Audrey.

rejoinder. ell be with you pres

arms on the top of the fence
watching the others ride away.
"Why doesn't Mr.. Jeffrey tell
that young woman to 60 easy on
the curb?" Anthony's usually
mild voice carried a growl.

the caller began a trifle breath

Audrey agreed in a tense little
voice.
Vic took his place at the fence,
held by the undercurrent of anx-
iety in the words he had just
heard. The trio stood in silence,
watching. They saw the horses
reined up some fifty yards from
the first set of bars, then Eileen
shot forward, urged into a swift
gallop.
Suddenly Anthony Swan was
scrambling over the fence.
Sensing that some calamity
was imminent, Vic lifted Audrey
unceremoniously in his arms and
dropped her on the other side of
the white barrier, vaulting over
after her. He caught her hand
and the two raced after Anthony,
who had sprinted ahead.
1t happened before they could
reach the scene. Eileen, head
thrown high, barely had her fore
legs over the top bar when she
crashed down, turned an almost
complete somersault and flung
her rider in a heap. BY the time
the others came up, Jeff had dis
mounted and was holding Olives
limp figure in his arms. Eileen
had attempted to get to her feet
but had rolled on her side and lay
still.

Anthony's order to Jeff. "Audrey,

into the front hall he encountered
his wife at the foot of the stairs.
"No, doctor, yet? I'll have a
look at the girl. Where did you
put herr"
Jeffrey laid her on Audrey's
bed" Martha led the way.
Jeff, white and shaken, stood
beside the bed looking down at
