SYNOPSIS: Dirk Joris is having hig sister-in-law, Hope, shadowed with the idea of finding out what mysterious errand took her out of the old Joris estate early one morn- ing. Rupert Joris married Hope Lnowing nothing at all about her; what little Dirk knows does not help clear the mystery surrounding her. Somewhat to Dirk's surprise, Hope is a success with all the Joris friends; somewhat to his own dis- may, he finds himself thinking about her often—too often, Chapter 20 RODEO IRK was to wonder in the suc- ceeding days if Hope had some- how divined his arrangement with Martin, for she went nowhere during the day. Nothing happened. Certainly the watchers at the gate were discover- ing no reason for being there. Dirk thought of discharging them, still calling himself a fool; then, in a re- curring mood of caution, permitted them to remain. But he made up his mind to keep them only a month longer. One evening, coming home early. and entering the library. he found Hope at the telephone. She put the receiver casually, though quickly, into place, greeting him in a low voice. The room was almost dark, and he could not see her face. “Take me to the rodeo?” she asked. Dirk, drawing off his gloves, was aware of a tension, a disquiet, in the room. He asked when the rodeo was to be. “It begins tomorrow,” she told him. “Madison Square Garden. The two weeks before the horse-show. I want to go the evening of the twenty- fitth, and Rupert may not be in town. alone.” She was moving about the room, had lit a copperyshaded lamp to add its glow to the firelight, was draw- ing the dark-green curtains at the windows, rearranging the bowl of marigolds on the table with swift brown fingers. She stood presently beside the hearth, iooking down at the coals, _ drawing her skirts away. The warmth and light of the room seemed to come from her still, red figure, rather than from the fire. Dirk could see her face in the small, silver-wreathed mirror on the man- tel. She was smiling tremulously. “I know you think it's comical,” she said, “Rupert's not wanting me to go alone. He doesn't know, of course, how much I've knocked around by myself. Unless . She gave him a quick loo Unless you've told him. Have you?” * Dirk answered in a low voice, “How could I tell him what 1 don’t know?” “But you know,” she si the circu “The circus, yes. But I promised not to mention that. Do you think I would break my word?” She was silent, looking at the fire. irk put his answer more positively. I have told nothing. I shall tell nothing. You may trust me.” He had not moved, nor she, yet ‘suddenly they seemed close. Some barrier had melted between them, some tension eased. She was turned away from him, but the little mirror showed him her face moving convul- sively. She seemed to be striving for composure before facing him again. Presently she looked up and in the mirror caught Dirk’s eyes. A look of horror broke across her face. She bent over the fire. Horror smote Dirk also. Horror that she should catch him spying on her, or seeming to spy. He went to her side. “If there's anything ... Listen to me, Hope. I'd do anything for you. Anything on earth. Do you under- stand?” She looked up at him, smiling now, her words a little shaken. “Understand? Of course,” she said. “Ask something of me,” he in- sisted. “Anything.” “I do. Take me to the rodeo.” The moment was gone. She was laughing now, smoothing her hair fat the little mirror, for they heard Rupert in the hall. She must always, thought Dirk, be smooth and beauti- ful for Rupert. As for the rodeo, he said he would order seats. “I've already ordered them,” she answered. “I was ordering ‘them when you came in.” 2 O* the twenty-fifth it seemed so f likely that Rupert would be at home that Dirk exchanged Hope’s &seats for a box, and invited Isabel. In the end Rupert went with them. “ Hope had seemed gayer with ,Dirk since their meeting in the library, and at the same time more “intent on avoiding him. The night -f the rodeo she left him entirely to Isabel, sitting on Rupert's other hand, keeping Rupert's substantial , “about He doesn’t want me to go} | bulk between them, so that Dirk could only rarely see her face. It was natural that she should want to see the rodeo, even in what Dirk felt must be their unsympathe- of horse-show to which she had been bred. Dirk watched the bronco riding, wondering why he had never thought to visit a rodeo before. Isabel watched too, apparently less sports-suit, and a boyish hat. over, but now she was interested part in the events, squatted on their heels about the arena, looking on. Sometimes when a cow or a bucking horse became too general in its ac- tivities they leaped aside, climbing the chutes or the rails of the boxcs. Rupert asked Hope why they were | Dirk and Isabel. watching to see if a horse takes a It was during the steer-wrestling | that a vast scramble occurred in the arena, and a cowboy leaped neatly into their box. “That's the craziest steer we've | got,” he apologized, as Rupert rose to make room for him. “Some devil.” Dirk had been watching the steer, | and the cowboy who, mounted on a | pinto pony, was flying after him | Even as they looked, the boy left | his horse, leaped to the steer’s hack, | grabbing him below the iiorns.

The cowboy in the box heaved a sigh and smiled. “Lucky Dan’s in the money, all ight,” he said. “1 thought he was crazy, trying to wrestle Lucifer. None of us thought a New York kid could do it. Lucifer’s killed two men. Westerners.” Rupert was interested. “Lucky Dan from New York?” he asked. “So they say.” answered the cow: boy. “I sure don’t believe it now.” “Why not?” inquired Isabel. The visiting cowboy was tall with keen gray eyes and skin as brown as a mango. “We have ranches here,” she added. He appeared to observe her for the firet time. His gray eyes held admiration, and repressed amuse- ment. “Yes, Ma’am,” he agreed politely, | and leaped over the rail. Rupert sat down again, but not before Dirk had seen Hope, leaning forward in her chair, staring into the arena with white face and fixed eyes. She was watching the New York cowboy, listening to the mega- phoned voice of a judge proclaim- ing Lucky Dan’s triumph over \ Lucifer. There was an immense sound of applause, and Lucky Dan took off his sombrero, disclosing a grave young face, and a blond head. He bowed, never smiling, scarcely seem- | ing to care. Dirk watched him leave the arena. Something in his walk, something in the way he had taken off the som- brero— Where, Dirk asked himself, had he seen Lucky Dan before? Where witnessed those automatic gestures, that slightly bowed gait? Did he imagine he held a memory of them because the boy was so plainly Hope's reason for being here?.... | | JEXT day Dirk inquired at the + rodeo-offices about Lucky Dan He had come, indeed, from a ranch upstate, had only lately entered the contests, under the management of |his father, a bellicose individual named Jones. “As for the boy,” said Dirk’s in- formant, an arena director in a ten- gallon hat, “as for that kid, he’s got the face of an angel. Golden hair and blue eyes.” That’s enough, ain’t it? Neither him nor his dad mixes much with the crowd, so it’s not easy to know ’em. Nobody likes Jones. He bullies the kid, but the kid don’t seem to mind. Dirk asked when Lucky, Dan would ride again. “Can't tell you that, at least not in advance. He got in late, and he has to wait every time till somebody | drops out. Of course we knew ahead when he was goin’ to wrestle Luci- fer. That's how he got in, offerin’ to bulldog old Lucifer.” And that was how Hope had known that she wanted to see the rodeo on the twenty-fifth. Dirk won- i dered if she would ask to go again. That night he directed the detec- tives to, ook up the history of the Jonseé, father and son. That history he had.sio doubt, was closely wover with theriddle of Hope.
