The great wrought-iron gates
guarding the entrance to Windsor
opened into a straight tree-lined
driveway almost broad enough to
be called an avenue. Far down at
the end of a red-and-yellow tun
nel formed by interlocking
branches and autumn leaves I
could see the house.
It was a very big house, long,
low - lying, beautifully - propor=
tioned. It looked solid and sub
stantial, as if the builders — care
fully placing brick upon brick—
had intended it to endure for cen
turies. Centuries had not yet pass
ed but the house gave the impres
sion of beginning to grow old
gracefully. Ivy had crept halfway
to the roof. The shutters were pale
blue, the front door with its huge
antique knocker a shade in be
tween white and cream.
The driveway ran in a circle be
fore the door. Going around this
I saw on my right an expanse of
lawn which seemed to run, slop
ing upward slightly, to bluffs over=-
looking Long Island Sound. Un
der and around a green-and
white garden umbrella on the
lawn was a group of people. I
braked, glad that I had hired this
smart blue convertible for the oc
casion.
There came a cry, “Hello, there,
Jim,” in a clear strong voice. A
tall blonde girl detached herself
fromr the crowd under the um
brella. She ran across the lawn.
She could take long strides with
those long, slim, tanned legs. The
legs were highly visible, because
she wore white shorts.
| I noted unswept bronzy hair,
good shoulders and, presently,
wide gray eyes with a hint of the
tawny in them. That was all, be
fore she swooped upon me and
| threw both arms around mry neck.
| To my regret, she omitted a
'kiss. But she was satisfactorily
close.
She said, into my ear, “Hi! But
I hope you are Jim Orth, or I'm
| going to look darn silly.”
1 got myself together and reas
sured her. She let go of me, step
ped back. Her nose was -cute, with
a splatter of freckless across its
i bridge. “All right, Jim. You know
the routine. Remember — Bermu
da and my name’s Sally. Sally
Cravath,”
“I've got it straight,” I told her.
! She took my hand; began lead
ing me. “Good. Now come along
and meet the people.”
I went, wishing fervently that
that lovely warm greeting had not
been a complete phony — just a
gag to explain my presence at
Windover, the magnificent home
of Mr. Marston Cravath, stock
broker, socialite and sportsman.
Marston Cravath, Marney, as he
was known ot his intimates, arose
as Sally brought me up. The
movement dislodged a chocolate
brown dachshund, with a back
like a shoeshine, which had been
curled at his feet. The dachshund
gave my ankles a brief sniff and
walked off disdainfully.
I'd met Cravath off the record
the day before, when he came to
my cubbyhole office in the West
Forties, Now no hint of recogni
tion showed in his sea-blue eyes.
He was, I thought, a fair actor.
Likewise a fine figure of a man.
Well over six feet and built like a
light heavyweight. But he’d gone
to fat a little, the way former ath
letes oftén do, and his strongly
chiseled face was a mite too florid.
I'd already figured him for around
50.
“So you're Sally’s Bermuda dis
covery,” he said, smiling. “Well,
we're glad to have you.” Running
to fat or no, he still had a grip
like a beartrap.
“Only one of her discoveries,
I'm afraid, sir,” I said. “And I
was in a bad way when she dis
covered me. On a lonely road,
with a flat bike tire, and no pump,
But she had a pump.”
“Just a flagrant pickup, Uncle
Marney,” Sally laughed. “Well,
now for the rest of these charac-

I met in quick succession Dolly
Dumont, a fading redhead with
slanty green eyes, and a languor- |
ous brunette whose name was Eve
Wheeler, Then Jack Dumont,
thickset, mobile-faced, visibly
balding, and obviously belonging
to the redhead. The last member
of the party was Omes Warbur- |
ton, a slight yellow-haired guy in
his early thirties.
Sally couldn’t have been more
than 24. I found my eyes straying
involuntarily to her left hand. It
was bare of diamonds and plati
num bands — and why I should
have derived comfort fromr the ob
servation I didn't know. I had a
job to do.
“Well, that's that™ Sally said.
Her tone was just right, friendly,
casual, and as if we were old pals.
A little Filipino in a white jack
et was circulating with a Martini
shaker. He brought me a drink as
Sally sat me down in a chair be
;side the dark languid Wheeleri
i woman, |
“Watch yourself, ~Jim,” Sally
}said. “Eve's a maneater.” |
~ Momeantarily the Wheeler wom
an ignored both of us. She held
out an empty glass to the Filipino
who stood, shaker poised, a grin
on his face. “While you're at it,
Manila.” Then, to Sally, “Run
away, small fry. I won't hurt
Orth, much.”
Sally disappointed me by run
ning. She dropped onto the grass
besides Ames Warburton’s chair.
“Well, Orth,” Eve Wheeler said,
as the conversation of the others
becanze ,general again, “what do
'you do with yourseif?”
. 1 shook my head. “Don't let it
get around, but—well, I don’t do
anything.”
She looked at me out of eyes al
most completely closed, and nod
ded. “I suspected as much from
your advance press notices. Sally
inferred, in a very nice way, that
you're just a playboy.”
Sally would have. That was
part of the act. ¥
“She slandered me,” I said. “I
am making up my mind about
what _to do. Only it seems to take
a long time.” 5
! Bve tapped my wrist with a
long scarlet-tipped fingernail. “My
dear,” she said, as one giving ad
vice to the young and foolish, “if
you're lucky enough to have un
learned increment, just live on it
! and shut up.” i
At that point a young man
dressed in sports shirt and slacks
of matching blue appeared on the
lawn.
“Well, bere's Dave,” Marston
Cravath said. “He'll want a drink
too, after all those letters I gave
him. Pour the rest of that for him,
Manila, and go make some more.”
~ “We c¢all him Manila,” Eve
Wheeler woke up long enough to

is longer than your arm and very
unpronouncable.”
~ Dave Sladen, Marston Cravath’s
secretary, was about nry own age,
27, brown-haired and stocky. He
gave me a short, but deliberate,
Jook before extending his hand.
That seemed strange. I'd never
laid eyes on the guy before.
Sladen collected his drink and
went away with it. Cravath ecalled,
over the conversational hubbub,
to Ames Warburton, “Don’t sup
pose that watch of yours has
turned up yet, Ames?”
“Not a sign of it,” Warburton
reeplied,
“Ames only got here early this
afternoon,” my soporific informa
tion bureau volunteered. “But the
first thing he did was lose his
watch. They've taken the place
apart looking for it.”
