FRIDAY, MAi Gypsy, SYNUISIS: Dirk Joris hears Elinor Fleming break her engage- ‘ment to his older brother Rupert because of his drinking. Later that night he comes to the rescue of a lovely bareback rider i. a New Jersey tent show. Stilt later, after taking Elinor’s cousin Isabel home, Dirk returns to the Joris place to find that Rupert just has married a girl he thinks must be the hare- back rider. And he is, very natu- raily, pu: ed about it all, Chapter Nine DIRK PROMISES ‘OMETHING moved in the draw- ing-room. A swift flame-like stir beside the piano. Dirk went and stood before the girl. Her eyes met his, dark, unwavering, the eyes of a guilty child, defying censure, defy- ing punishment. She was the same, yet different. Stripped of the rouge and mascara, of the tight red trousers, she stood in her black dress with the bright fa- miliar shaw! slipping from her arms—here. The girl from the tents in Jersey. So it was she he had seen entering the gates two hours ago. “Will you explain?” he said to her. She answered in a low voice. “Explain to whom?” “To me,” he said. “1 didn’t know you knew my brother.” “Must you be explained to?” she said. “Why don’t you ask him?” “Why don’t 1?” Dirk asked grave ly. “But he could hardly explain what he probably doesn’t know has happened.” She nodded, entirely agreeing with him. Looking at her, he had a dim sense that all this had happened be- fore—some time, somewhere. Per- haps in this very room, she marry- ing Rupert, standing like a flame be- side a dark bowl of dahlias, defying his questions. At first—there in the hball—he had felt that what he saw was a dream. He knew now that it was real, something he must cope with as long as he lived. She turned abruptly, and went out into the hall, as if seeking Rupert. Timothy was taking Rupert up the stair. Slowly. At the top Rupert looked back, looked down at Dirk and the girl standing in the hall. He moved a hand with a heavy gesture of waving, plodded on with Timothy, disappeared. The girl sat down on the lowest step, leaning her head against the carved oak balustrade. Now that Ru- Dert was gone, she seemed to grow suddenly limp, suddenly tired. Dirk thought of food, and men- tioned breakfast. She thanked him, but she was not hungry He sat down beside her, and she said, “Are you going to tell him?” “Tell him what?” asked Dirk. “About the circus. About—where caine from.” “Doesn't he know?” asked Dirk. “No—and 1 don’t want him to. 1 never saw him until tonight.” “Then how—' “It was a whim, a drunken whim. 1 shouldn't have tet him.” She was not answering the ques. tion he had been about to ask. She went on giickly. “It was you | came here to see. 1 knew you were a lawyer. | needed to see a lawyer. You won't tell him about the circus? If you do he'll throw me out.” “But how did you know 1 was a lawyer?” Dirk asked. “Chow,” she said. “Madame Chowdhury. 1 heard her tell Tor- robin. Torrobin is the man you hit. His nose was wrecked when he came to. He said he was going after you Chow encouraged him. 1 think she was sore at you for some reason, and she told him who you were. She told him a lot about yor “But how did she—” 7OU were with others. Some of them had their fortunes told She gets things out of people when they're at all talkative. She probably thought she was going to tell your fortune, too. And you wouldn't let her. She doesn’t like that. Torrobin may come here,” she added. “Are you afraid?” Dirk asked. “Only for you. He carries a gun. Still, 1 don’t think he'd pull it on you, seeing who you are, and this big place, and all.” She looked about the great hall, its tapestry-hung walls. its stone floor and Persian rugs, its dimly lit chandelier swung from the vaulted ceiling—all old, ali a little worn or faded, but formidable. “It’s like a fortress.” she said. “That was what | thought when | first came. A refuge, a fortress. And a gun in New York is differen “You are not afraid for yourself? Dirk asked. “Not now. Not since | married your brother. And in this house.

She was the Firefly till she left a few days ago. “I’ve been in New York, giving | music-lessons. | only had one pupil, and the bank where ! had put my money closed its doors. 1 heard about | Leonor’s leaving the circus, so { went over to Jersey, and got her job. 1 had to have money, and my family —my father, especially—are not very friendly with me just now.

But | didn’t make anything out of the circus. 1 left before 1 was paid. | couldn't stand Torrobin any longer.” “But you liked the clown,” Dirk said, with no motive but to make her talk on, for she had fallen silent. She looked away. “Yes,” she answered. “I liked the clown.” “Was he badly hurt?” Dirk asked. “I think not. You see | came away. Lcouldn’t stand Torrobin any longer. And the Jameson Hotel—the place | where | had been stopping—1 owed them money. They were holding my trunk.” | She looked at him, added quickly. | “That's what 1 wanted to see a} lawyer about. About my trunk, and | the money the circus owes me.” Scarcely adequate reasons, Dirk thought, for a midnight call on a lawyer, let alone marriage to that | lawyer. Yet no doubt they seemed sire to doubt her account. She came back to her question. “Are you going to tell #im?” Dirk said no, that he bad no inten- | tion of telling Rupert, but if Torro- bin came and found her here it} might all come to light. F it does,” she answered, “I'll ex- plain.

And now, whatever tomorrow held—and Dirk’s anxieties in that! respect were concerned chiefly witb | Rupert and his reactions—this child must go to bed. She couldn't sit on the stair the rest of the night, though | that was apparently her intention. At a sound above them they turned to see old Mary standing on | the stair. “Your room is ready, Ma’am,” she said. Dirk asked where they were put | ting her. | “Mrs. Joris ts to sleep in the tow- | er-room,” said Mary. The tower-room had been his grandfather's.
