YPSYy SYNOPSIS: Rupert Joris’ wife Hope has been only a wife in name, married on the rebound after Elinor Fleming had jilted Rupert because of his drinking. On the night Elinor married Seymour Gage, Rupert left for his northern camp—but did not arrive. A posse is searching the snow-drifted woods for him, while Dirk and Hope talk before the fire in the Joris camp. Dirk has been trying to solve the mystery sur- rounding Hope, with the help of d her chauffeur. But 2 learned is that the mys- tery concerns a certain blond cow- boy—in some way.

But it meant nothing. 1 was like a doll that he dressed up . .. for her to see. He thought she might relent. He hoped for this. And if she had...” “But he was married to you,” Dirk reminded her. “I know. Certain words spoken over us, if you mean that. But how long would they have held if she had come to him?” Dirk repressed a smile. The diag nosis was so entirely feminine. “Anyhow,” she said, “I could have told Rupert that Elinor would never come. | think maybe he came to know this. But he went on get- ting pleasure out of showing her he didn’t care, out of thinking he hurt her },;\. with me. 1 was a sort of weapon.’ Maybe he found he hadn't even hurt her, for she went serenely on and got married. And that day the day of her wedding . . . he came in my room for the first time, and kissed me. He was drinking, and angry, and | pushed him away.” Dirk 5 “I don’t blame you for that. | think any woman would have done the same.” “But he left.” she said. “He rode out of town. He felt that no one cared. ... And aren't there ways and ways of winning a man? Shouldn't a wife take any way she can?” The discussion had become pain- ful to Dirk. He replied, “I thought you had won him. | thought it when | saw your ring.” She smiled down ruefully at the chased platinum band. “I'm glad you noticed it,” she said. “Rupert never has. | bought it myself.” Dirk went out on the kitchen porch to get more wood. The snow had drifted onto the porch, and the wood had almost to be dug out. When he came back into the room Hope had slipped sideways in the chair, her face pressed against the rough hickory arm. She was asleep. He lifted her, limp as a child, and carried her over to the bunk, spread- ing an army blanket over her, and her raccoon coat. Then he mended the fire and lay down on the bunk opposite. Dirk fell asleep, and was awak ened by a knock on the door. Hope, too, sat upright. It was Sandy, standing in the dawn, beside his sleigh. “We've found him,” reported Sandy. “Down at Old Forge, at Steve Clapp’s house. He's in bed, sick.” I wanted to win were ANDY told them more as he drove | ‘7 them toward Old Forge. | It had happened the night of the | big snow. Rupert bad got lost while | driving up. In the obscurities of the | storm he had turned off the road | and had stalled. Then he had got out, searching for help, afoot. | “1 guess he saw Steve Clapp’s | fight. Anyhow, they found him next | morning where he'd stumbled at the gate. The dogs found him. He's still unconscious. Doctor says he's got pneumonia. Clapp heard there was somebody tost around Big Moose, and he phoned over.” | Clapp’s house was a cottage of four rooms. They had given Rupert the best bed, and Mrs. Clapp was taking care of him. Dirk telephoued to New York for two nurses and for Rupert’s physician. He said to} Hope, “I want you to go home. We've found him now, and we'll take him to Lowrie soon as we can.” Dirk saw her to the train, a grave, silent figure bundled in a raccoon } coat, a brown antelope béret pulled over her hair.
