But Terry went back up river and found that his father was dead and had asked to be buried in Virginia, And Allaire set sail for America think- ing more than she wanted to think of Terry.

Chapter 16 SPEED ‘HEY all aren't as nice as you, Charley.” Allaire stood with hands on hips and regarded the pol- ished interior of the Arundel specu- latively. “We really can’t blame the Trigger Fish. Why should it go sev- enty miles an hour when it’s just as satisfied to sleep and eat?” “Pshaw,” said Charley. “I’m no botanist. Or is it biologist? Say, where are you going?” Allaire turned. She leaned for- ward and patted him on the shoul- der. “Out,” she said mysteriously, “to go seventy miles an hour. Charley.” He saw her take her wrap in the foyer, nod to the doorman, and slip| out into the night. Charley couldn't figure her out. She never got drunk, but when she "Night, | a@ car that will make you think you're pedaling a tricycle.

How are you, Murphy?” “O. K. But listen, you hadn't ought to speed like this, Miss: West. You'll crack up some day, so help me.” “I'm trying to get home’by sun- rise. It’s perfectly beautiful then.” “You always go too damn fast,” said Murphy. “That's why I like to drive at night. No traffic.” They lit cigarets in a gesture of | truce between two friendly enemies.

This is the first time you've come through here in months, ain’t it?” “I've been in South America,” Ahaire. “Yeah?” said Murphy. “Yeah,” said Allaire, nodding. “What kind of a place is it?” said A police motorcycle picked her up. wanted to blow off steam she pulled the throttle widt open in bursts of sheer headlong speed. She'd been driving like that ever since she came back from South America. Probably plenty angry at somebody or some thing, although she'd never choose to let you know it. He gave up. Much easier to delib- erate cn the whys and wherefores of the Trigger Fish who sat on the bot- tom of the aquarium like a rock. What an existence for a fish. Charley was convinced it was the stupidest existence he'd ever seen. LLAIRE operated independently of the separate establishments maintained by her parents. Her course lay between her father’s New York town house, her mother’s fam- ily home in Washington, and her father’s country place in Virginia, with little side excursions and dis- appearances of her own thrown in for good measure. And she was driving like hell again. She whipped down to Wash- ington, spent a couple of days there, and then took to the open road again. It was thirty miles to sunrise ¢ wher her long blue roadster raced through a quiet Virginia country- > side in the hush of early dawn. Al- ready the first faint red glow was touching the hills, and her father’s country home was thirty miles up the valley. A police motorcycle picked up her trail and chased her down a long stretch of open pavement in a duel * of roaring motors. Then the policeman won. He drew up abreast and careened about acurve with the car ina hairbreadth partnership of burning tires and screaming brakes. “Get over!” he yelled frantically. The girl flirted a hand and brought the car to a stop. Her white polo coat was streaked with dust} and her bright hair bound by a pur- ple ribband was aflutter at her tem- ples from the windlash of her terrific speed. “Hello, Murphy,” she greeted laz- ily, “Well, this is a pleasure. It’s been a long time since you arrested me last.” The officer shoved his goggles up} on his brow and stared. “Well, for the love of Mike!, Miss West—!” phy, | nearly fell in love. Isn’t that awful?” “Ob, yeah?” said Murphy rising belligerently to the defense of the male sex. “Listen, one of these days some guy is goin’ to come along who'll tone down your speed plenty, lady.” Allaire smiled and flicked her cig- aret out into the road. “I'll be on the lookout for a tall dark stranger on a motorcycle,” she promised. That reminded Murphy. He fum- bled awkwardly for his book. “Il ought to give you a ticket, Miss West. But listen, take it kind of easy the rest of the way and I'll let you off. Shucks, it’s still pretty early.” Her dark eyes rested om him, amused. “Better give me the black spot, Murphy. Today is my birthday and I'd like to feel I'm getting seme place fast.” “Birthday?” said Murpny. He put his book away with obvious relief. “Aw, to hell with it. Go ahead. I'll slap it on you next time.” She waved thanks and the next moment had swept off in a purring crescendo of speed. Thirty miles to sunrise and minutes had flown. But she'd make it! She did. The sun was just begin ning to strike the roof of Westlands” jas she stopped on the crest of the hill that overlooked her father’s estate. The beautiful old red brick man- sion with its white columns and broad portico was graced by lovely lawns and set in a park of great trees with walks bordered by double rows of boxwood extending in all direc- tions. In that breathless hush before the unsoftened light of day, before mo- tors began to roar down the drive } and cocktail shakers rang through the house, the place was old Virginia at its loveliest and most courtly. A | heritage of tradition hovered around, Allaire had a strange love for old battlefields, historic ho and early sun that made her-f ean interloper, a party ta-v: as, she sat in her car and looked dowa on the changes asoeen by modern wealth.
