ANITAYLOOS’ Htustrated by Vincentini THE STORY THUS FAR. Carol Clayton, engaged to wealthy Hartley Madison, plays the horses so that she can pay Duke Bradley, handsome young bookmaker, the $76,000 racing debt incurred by her father be- fore his death. Her luck at the track is phenomenal, with the result that Duke, through whom she places her befs, is all but wiped out. She dislikes him, and her feeling turns to rage when she discovers he plans to recoup through Hartley. Her clashes with him on this score, however, make her realize that in Duke she has met her master and that she is falling in love with him. At the California track, Duke’s luck is 0ood: he begs her to persuade Hartley to stay on a few more days. She, however, secretly in- duces Hartley to plane to New York. Duke discovers this at 5 o'clock of the morning Hartley is to leave. He leaps from his bed and bursts into her bed room. As they quarrel there is a knock on the door. It is Hartley, come to bid her good-by. CHAPTER XIX, Thev had not f was in the Jong h look Duke and Carol exchanged. There was more—he would know she could not be asleep =0 soon after him. She could not refuse to go to the door. But when she did— “Won't you slip into something, dear,” Hartley continued, in a low eager voice. I can't go without seeing you for a moment.” That was true, but he did not say this—that speaking to | Duke who was holding her, in his terror, by her negligee: “Let me go at once, or I'll scredm.” He let her go. He looked wildly around the room for a place to hide. His eye had traveled Lo the bed. “Explain this away," up the long overhanging covers and crawled underneath 8he thought she was going to faint, " he said, mak- | |ing a dash for the bed. He flicked THE EVENING I have only this one room, you see.” “Oh that's all right, dear,” he said. “We'll leave the door open for the sake of propriety. I had to come up and kiss you good-by.” “Are you sure it's all right?” she asked. “Some one might pass, you know.” “Of course, I am, or I wouldn't insist. I can stay only a moment— but I wsnt that moment.” “So do 1" she breathed softly, backing away toward the chaise longue, close to the foot of the bed. She sat down on it and looked up at him with large eyes so full of childlike trust and happiness that Hartley felt shame he had ever doubted her for a moment. She pulled her robe together so it covered her shoulder and arranged the satin and chiffon pleats carefully across her knees. From under the bed a few feet away, she saw Duke's | strained face peering up at her. He began jerking his head crazily to the left, trying frantically to draw her attention to something. She did not dare to look—she must seem to be wholly absorbed in Hartley. An arm suddenly shot from under the bed and tugged at Carol’s skirt. STAR, ing on the dainty crystal ash tray, sending up a thin, wavering line of blue-gray smoke, was Duke's cigar! For one awful year-long moment, during which she was sure she heard Duke's groans under the bed, she looked at it. Then she did the one thing she could do. She reached over, picked it up casually, settled back among the cushions and inhaled a long pufl. “You thought what, darling?” she asked, smiling up at him. Then gritted her teeth. The thing was so loath- some. Through her mind flashed stories of the horrors of “first smokes."” Perhaps it might kill her—it seemed at the moment quite possible, But she took another puff. Madison's eyes were still wide and still fixed on her. It was a moment or two before he could speak. “When did you—when did—" “When did I what?" she asked, putting down the cigar with a relief she had never known before. “Learn to smoke cigars?” he asked in a voice which would suggest he was strangling. “Oh, T just picked it up,” she said. “I don't know—anything you do | is all right—but I wonder—do you care for them much?” “I'll never touch another cigar in all my life, if you don't want me to,” she said. “Of course, I never have smoked except in my own room, and only a few puffs. Perhaps it was my excitement over waking just in time to speak to you—I don’t know— WASHINGTON, but someway, I felt I had to smoke this cigar. D. C, MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1937. “All right, dear,” he said. "I don't want to be dictatorial—but a girl so young and -beautiful and attractive a5 you, has to be a little careful. I know, of course, you weren't to blame for that photograph when you had miniature nervous breakdown, so—"" She reached out her hand and laid it gently on his lips. “Shall we forget all about it, dear? And I promise, cross-my-heart I'll never smoke another cigar so long a8 I live.” “I'll be glad when you'rs away from the environment of the race- tracks,” said Madison. “You won’t be half so glad as I will, darling,” she said. He took her in his arms and pressed his lips to her in a long kiss. She drew away hurriedly, pointing to the door. “It's s0 hard to leave you, he said, “that if you only half-way hinted you'd like me to stay, I couldn’t resist.” At those words, an arm shot sud- denly from under the bed and tugged at Carol's skirt. She wanted to give the arm a vicious kick, but she must walt until later to get even with Duke for all the discomfort he had brought down upon her. “I'm not going to ask or hint, darling,” she said. “I know you should go—and I must be brave.” The hand dug into her ankle, then, and Carol, angry enough to risk every- thing, kicked it with her other foot. Madison had seen nothing—he was too intent looking into Carol's eyes. “All right, little slave-driver,” he sal “I am not resigned. But I g0. “You'll have to hurry, I'm afraid,” sald Carol. “Take good care of your- self—and phone me as soon as you get to New York, won't you?” “My phone bill is going to dizzy heights until you come on home,” he said. She arose, put her arm through his and walked with him to the door. She put up her face to kiss him and be kissed and she stood in the open doorway, watching hith walk down the hall until he resched the ele- vator and stepped into it. She blew him a kiss. ‘Then she clung to the wall for support. “Ouch!” came an agonized cry. Out from under the bed, crawled cobwebs on him. There was some. thing else.

HARDEE, Receiver. dear, But 2 THERE'S PLENTY DOING when Bob Bullock’s in the game! Follow him up the field. (He's wearing the dark shirtin these pictures.) Bobis one of the great No. 3's of polo—plays this key position as it should be played —with strategy, skill, and courage! RIGHT ON THE NOSE! Consistent, accu- rate hitting makes Bob Bullock a dangerous scoring threat. Above, he rides an opponent out of play—at the same time makes a well- timed shot to the uprights at such blind- ing speed that even a fast-action camera catches the ball only as an egg-shaped blur! CLOSE QUARTERS! Bullock is famous as a hard-riding de- fense player too. Above, he's playing to retrieve possession of the ball for his side. Like Lou Gehrig (the Iron Man of Base- ball), Lenore Kight Wingard (America's Premiere Speed-Swim- mer),and Glenn Hardin (World's Champion Hurdler), Bob Bul- lock has a decided preference for the extra smoking pleasure that Camels bring him. He's smoked Camels for over a decade. BEACH BALDNESS WATCHING Helen Howard, one of America’s most graceful divers, you realize what healthy nerves mean to a diver. Does she smoke? "Of course,” Helen says. “I smoke as many Camels as I please. They're so mild!” Naturally Bob Bullock Appreciates Mild Smoking LO enthusiasts will agree with Mr.Bullock thatittakeshealthy nerves to play polo—nerves that don’t fail in a pinch. Bob Bullock says: “Camels deserve the blue ribbon for mildness and mellow- ness. I've smoked Camels for years. They never jangle my nerves!” Mealtime (right) finds Bob, as usual, enjoying Camels— for diges- tion’s sake. *Camels at mealtimes and afterwards add a world of en- joyment to eating,” he says. *'I'd walk a mile for a Camel!”” CAPT. BILL HATCH, deep-sea fishing skipper, gives one of his reasons for preferring Camels. Hesays: "After a tough fight with a big one, when I feel tired, I get a 'lift’ in energy with a Camel.” For unvarying mildness, flavor, and fragrance—make it Camels! Camel’scostlier tobaccos are natur- ally mild and fine-flavored.
