PAGE FOUR YESTERDAY: Michael con- eeals the bloody handprint from Tuck and Bunny. The next morn- ing they receive an invitation to bridge at the Deane’s and decide it's a good opportunity to study their neighbors. Chapter 10 Bridge Party AYBE I'll know more—after the party tonight,” said Michael. here’ll be someone there—Dr. McBain—he was assist- ant physiologist working under Murchison, you know. I think I ¢an get the information I need out of him, but I’ve not been able to go to him before this. I have reason to believe that he’s shielded Murchison at other crises. I haven't wanted to arouse his sus- picions.” “Michael!” He turned to Bunny. “I suppose she'll trump aces tonight? Our aces?” Tuck came back to earth. She stopped staring at him. “Now,” she said briskly, “there’s a point we've Zot to settle right here. We simply must not play at the same table. O% course, if we get started at the ~~ | same table we can’t help it for ‘once, but we mustn’t let it happen in.” ‘But how can we help it, lamb? It all depends on who wins and who doesn't.” “No, it doesn’t. For instance, if you're at head table, and Michael’s at second table and is winning, you must be sure to lose so that you'll go down to third. Bid five diamonds on nothing at all and get set. It’s easy. That way we can watch all of them all of the time.” “We'll be extremely popular with our partners,” Michael men- tioned. “Oh, just tell ’em we follow the kefeller convention. It'll be easy. One millionaire’s as good as another.” “How'm I to know when Mich- #el is winning?” “We must be sure and let each other know. Airily, you know. just pass it off.” “1,” muttered Michael over his coffee, “foresee a wonderful eve- ning of bridge.” ith a murderer or -ess for a partner, Michael.” . “Now, Mr. Forrester, you'll have keep score,” said Mrs. Deane at table. “We're one man short tonight, and I thin: men should always keep score because it’s a mathematical process, and you're the only man at the table. so we'll you to do it, please.

She was sheavy and shapeless as she against the big armchair. fy and shapeless, and with a un air of untidiness not quite to define. answered Mrs. Deane in a ugly, toneless voice. “I’m fortable,” she said. “Is it my a?” She held her cards awk- rdly. “It's mine,” Miss Lissey said hortly. “Two diamonds.” “Oh dear, I simply never know hat that means,” Mrs. Deane said unhappily to Michael, “so I might as well pass.” Mrs. Devoe lifted her head and ~“~gazed down at her cards under shieltting lids with the far-sighted gaze of old age. “Pass,” she said. “Pass.” said Michael happily. Miss Lissey snorted. “It’s your she said disgustedly to Mrs. Deane. Michael had more trumps, it seemed, than Miss Lissey. He took the deciding trick. He said nothing. Miss Lissey cut for Mrs. Deane with savage determination, “It’s your deal,” she said. Mr. Deane 'HIS bidding is rather too high for me,” said Mr. Deane, Peering through his thick glasses. “Four spades, then,” Tuck said. She didn’t know whether or not he was looking at her, but his face peted . pepe er sirerton. tt was as if he wore a mask. Marie Murchison’s hands were beautiful and soft against the dark cards. The fingers were soft and a, and the nails beautifully shaped. She shook her head prettily. ‘Every trace of that other woman, hat frightened, demoralized other oman who had stood at that door 4 - his was the man Michael was go- ig to question. He had worked Pan ieee ad the Uni- . He ough’ ow some- bing about him. i} Deane turned his head from ito Dr. McBain. “Did you bid > spades first, Mrs. For- No. Dr. McBain did, thank pdn He has to play them.” Dr. McBain, his legs too long close, his profile turned to Tuck. His eyes were deep set, his mouth firm. He straightened himself and turned toward the table, taking his long briar from his mouth ag he did so. Mr. Deane handed an ash-tray across the table. “That means it’s going to be a battle,” he said to uck. “It; would be well if you laid down a number of good cards for him.” _ There was something vaguely irritatin, “But I haven’t jot many good cards,” Tuck cried in dismay, as she put down her hand. “I thought | you had and I’ve only a little good suit. I’m sorry, partner.” He looked at her and smiled re- | assuringly. “I took my pipe out be- cause it's gone out,” he said. “Mr. Deane is trying to frighten you.” Upon which he trumped Mr. Deane’s ace and raked in the trick. Tuck watched his playing with fascinated eyes. He seemed to be playing quite erratically, leading the marriage of Mary * Angela; were invited to the home of Miss all the wrong cards and choosing the wrong ones from dummy, but the tricks fell regularly to him. His face did not change when he made a little slam. Mrs. Deane was standing behind her husband’s chair watching them. “Is that really a little slam | in your first hand, Dr. McBain?” | |daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A.| she asked. “It's a splendid begin- ning isn't it?” _ Her husband moved restlessly in his chair. “It doesn’t mean he’ll make a good ending,” he said with a faint hint of irritation. McBain filled his pipe imper- turbably and did not answer. Mrs. Murchison, as well as Tuck, had caught the undercurrent. “It was very good bridge,” she said quickly. Mrs. Deane was flushed. “It’s nice of you to take it that way,’ Mrs. Murchison. I'm sure you'll win next time. I do so hope you'll enjoy yourself. I’m sorry the Pro- fessor isn’t here tonight because then I needn’t play and the num- bers would be even instead of some of you having to play with women sometimes.” Quite unconsciously Mrs. Deane was betraying the fact that she | knew Mrs. Murchison would pre- fer to play opposite a man. Tuck smiled to herself. very discreetly. Mrs. Deane’s voice was clear, and it had carried to those at the other tables. Jared Devoe turned to answer her, since Mts. Murchi- son seemed not to intend to. “He would have enjoyed being here very much, Mrs. Deane.” Miss Lissey, cutting cards at Lea table, held them perfectly still, It was old Mrs. Devoe who broke the tiny silence, in her level, un- inflected tone. “If he were here tonight we should be thirteen,” she said, and laughed a little. Mrs. McBain JARED DEVOE turned back to his own table. “So we should | be thirteen,” he repeated. “That would indeed be tragic.” There was sarcasm in his tone, “Aren't you superstitious, Mr. Devoe?” Bunny asked. “As a matter of fact, I am. My work lies in archaeology, . you | know. One learns among ancient peoples that it is wise to err, pe haps, on the side of superstition. . I believe it's my bid, isn’t it? his partner asked quietly. Bunny turned her attention to Mrs. McBain. She was very lovely, in a still, quiet way. Her beauty was perfect, Bunny decided. It did not occur to you the moment you looked at her, but it was there. She was tall and slender and graceful, with very dark violet eyes and ash-blonde hair; and the long lines of her black dinner dress set fe her fair slenderness to perfec- ion. “No, it is Duncan’s,” Devoe said with a glance at the younger man. ‘One heart,” Duncan said brief- | ly, with an involuntary janes at his partner, He had deep blue eyes with the thick fringed lashes of childhood. Bunny blushed faintly. “Two clubs,” Devoe murmured. Bunny’ ‘considered. Duncan straightened in his chai id pushed his wavy brown hi with a boyish gesture. His hands were strong and well kept. His chin was firm and there was a dimple in it. Bunny kept her eyes on her cards for a long minute. Then, “Two hearts,” she said. There was the slightest quirk | in the corner of Mrs. McBain’s mouth. “I think that bid will prob- ably carry,” she said gravely, and passed. Devoe led the ace of clubs. Bunny laid down her hand. “The suit is eer good,” she said, “but T’ve on! ly the queen of hearts.” “That's exactly what I need,” Duncan said firmly. His sister-in-law, dummy at her table, came over and stood be- side him as he played. An insensi- ble change came over his face as s' there, although he did not look up. The atmosphere, Bun- ny realized, was char, Bitter. “Are me going to make it, Dun- can?” Marie Murchison asked brightly. He did -not answer. Devoe looked up at her. “Certainly he Eiklor, was read. Gloria Giles, | will make it,” he said. She turned her eyes away from his, but Bun- ny saw the complete understand- ing that existed between them in that instant. in the little man’s tone. | THURSDAY— FRIDAY— | Youth Crusade Rally sponsored by Island City Young People’s | Union.
