We m % a: ee UN< By MARGARET BELL HOUSTON ” S SYNOPSIS: Dirk Joris has wit- nessed the final scene between his older brother Kupert and Blinor Fleming—Elinor has broken her engagement to Rupert, because Rupert wil not stop drinking. After taking Elinor home Dirk has gone to a tent show in Jersey to wait for Blinor’s cousin Isabel and her party. He has seen a charming bareback rider knocked down by @ bully, and has in turn knocked down the bully. Now he ts in the tent of Madame Chowdhury, for= tune teller, Chapter Six FIGURE IN SHADOW | eee and Isabel came in. Fred- dy carried an umbrella, and Isa- bel, all in yellow chiffon, looked like an indignant daffodil. Both glanced without enthusiasm about the shrine of Madame Chowdhury. “Get it over, Natalie,” said Isabel. Madame put on her sibyl smile. Her finger left the Queen of Spades, and her eye left Dirk. She lifted the and Madame and Natalie disappeared into the red re- treat. Madame had the somewhat blowsy appearance of a tipsy washwoman home from a costume ball, and a inner curtain, curious oily grace which seemed to annoy the colder and more matter of fact Isabel considerably. “Waited Yong?” asked Freddy, a blond young man who was not him- self when he was damp. Isabel asked for a cigaret and he supplied it. Dirk brought Madame Chowdhury’s chair, and Isabel sat in it and smoked, her slim knees crossed, somnolence re- placing the look of annoyance on her face. She was like a portrait cf Elinor, too youthful, too hardy to be an exact likeness, Darker, slate-colored eyes, more breadth of brow, less soft- ness about the mouth. There was the same clear pallor, heightened by the yellow gown; the same ash-gold hair, the darker brows and lashes. Isabel at college had been accounted a prodigy at mathematics. Now she employed her faculties of deduction chiefly at bridge. Just Dirk’s age, she was as weary of the world as Natalie was avid of it. She said presently, $ nor told you the news, | sup- he news?” repeated Dirk. ge Seymour,” she assisted him. “Oh, Dirk said. “She told us.” “Rupert took it, | imagine, with customary tact.” stomary tact,” acknowl edged Dirk. | The rain had begun again was. pounding on Madame Chowdhury’s |. roof, oozing through the seams.

Suddenly there was the faint sound of applause and two swift buman figures came run ning from the main tent—acrobats they looked like, or like the trapez- ists whom he had watched perform, They disappeared into another tent, vanished abruptly out of the rain. Simultaneously Natalie came from the inner sanctum with Madame Chowdhury. tsabel and Freddy made ready to depart.

An agreeable host, Joe seemed to Natalie decidedly virile and desir- able, in spite of the fact that he had been spending his summer in the woods painting pictures. He showed them some of his work. Not bad, they told him.

Probably one of the he decided. coming home at this hour, though what maid it might be in that body of ancient retainers, he could not imagine.
