MONDAY, MA i3, = Gypsy Weather By MARGARET BELL HOUSTON SY NUESIS: Dirk Jorts has take en Elinor Fleming home from din- ner at the old Joris estate on the Hudson. Elinor has told Dirk's older brother, Rupert, that she can- not marry him because of his drinks ng. After leaving Elinor, Dirk drives in the pouring rain to a tent show across the river, where he is to mect Elinor’s cousin, Isabel, and some others. While Dirk chats with a gifted young circus rider, billed es “Firefly.” a horse falls on a clown. seriously injuring him, They are carrying out the clown, Chapter Five ‘TO THE DEFENSE JOW they ng the clown, A giant of a man was car- rying him as if he had been a child. The clown’s head hung back heavily. His gay clothes were muddy, and there was a bright red stain on his little tight white cap. He looked thin and young, almost as young as were carr; the girl who ran beside him. Into the van the giant carried the clown, but when the girl would have followed them the man shut the doors, remaining inside. The girl stood on the steps of the van, beat- ing on the doors. et me in!” she sobbed. “Let me in!” The exit of the tent had been closed behind Dirk. The crowd had “fetreated inside, and the noises of van while she was in it. He said to Madame Chowdhury, “There’s no one here.” “I know,” buttoning the flap. “But they are on the way. I see all things. Besides, when he comes to,” nod- ding toward the man lying outside, “he'll call a cop. You are brave,” she smiled. id he try to keep you out of here?... Stay with me. You don’t understand. He will call a cop. Or maybe he will pull a gun.” “I suppose he'll pull it on her,” said Dirk. “On her? ... On who?” asked Madame Chowdhury. So she didn’t know everything. “On Firefly,” he answered, unbut- toning the flap. “Ah,” said Madame Chowdhury, nodding sagely, as if she had made the discovery by looking into his depths. “So it was for her you knocked him down. You're as big a fool as Pipolo. No, don’t go out there. She will lock the door. She is safe.” “DPIPOLO?” repeated Dirk. Thank God for locks on van: “Pipolo, yes. She will al make trouble—whereyer there are fools.” “If Pipolo is the clown,” said Dirk, “he won't fight for her tonight.” “I know,” said Madame. “Did I not read this accident in the stars? Dirk made contact with a bulbous nose. the show had begun again, the band —louder than ever—the applause. Dirk stood watching the girl in her long greet cloak, hearing the Bead of her fists on the van doors, and her wild sobbing Why wouldn't they let he the thing too terrible for her to see. Perhaps if he spoke to her he might persuade her, induce her to come awa He was « the lot, when the doors of the van reopened. The girl who had stepped back before them, started in, Instantly the figure of the man blocked her way. In th jights of the van Dirk saw him looking at the girl, saw her striving to press past him, matching her strength against hi ‘rossi Suddenly, as one might eject a kitten, he grasped her arm, and flung her from the step. Then with an oath he stepped down, She had fallen sideways, landing against the wall of a near-by tent. And now with equal suddenness the man was sprawled at her feet, and Dirk, his fist smarting from contact with that bulbous nose, was saying to the girl, “Are you hurt? Did he hurt you?” She looked down at the man, then up at Dirk. There was something wild and breathless about her. In stantly she was on the step of the van, beating again on They opened and she went in. The loors closed. IRK was aware that Madame I Chowdhury was looking out the yack door of her tent where the girl had fallen. She stood watching the man who was ris his head as if gnats or cobwebs bothered him. She leaned over, ap- peared to discover who he was. “Well, I'll be damned,” said Ma- dame Chowdhury. Looking up she saw Dirk, and widened the aperture in which she stood. “Come in here.” she said, and as Dirk made no move to obey, “I think the person you were looking for is here.” Dirk went in, though he wanted to wait for the girl to come out of the van.

He wanted to ask her about Torrobin, about the girl. But he knew, looking into her face, that she would tell him nothing—or lies. The girl . . . She was no trouble: maker. She was lovely.
