It was nearly one a.m. when Anne
told Pat she wanted to go home,
“Getting up before dawn in order
to be at the stables doesn’t fit in
with late hours,” she said, suppress
ing a yawn.
Brenda’s party was just getting
. well under way when they left, with
the noise almost deafening. Anne
had a slight headache as a result of
the excitement.
At her door, - Pat put an arm
about her and was about to kiss
her when the girl drew back.
“Sorry, Pat, I’m not in the mood,”
she said.
“No harm in trying,” he laughed.
“I don’t go in much for that
sort of thing anyway,” she said,
and after thanking him, unlocked
her door and went inside.
Her head was splitting as she

“Too much excitement,” she de

the harder she tried, the more wide
awake she became, the events of
the evening marching before her
burning eyes in a continuous pro
cession.
She got up and heated some milk
and downed it, but even this usually
effective remedy failed her.
Darned Fool
“Wonder if I’m a darned fool to
down such a good offer for
Jade?” she kept asking her-

Burgess voice was thick and a
bit uncertain as though he’d been
drinking, and his slurred speech was
further proof, if it were needed. But
the movements of his hands were
as deft and certain as though he
were cold sober,
“If he isn’t home, maybe I can
get him. He was at Brenda’s and
might still be there.”
Anne dashed into the superinten
dent’s office and snatched up the
phone book. But there was no num
ber listed for the Van Evers’ home.
Desperately, she dialed the opera
tor and asked for the number, giv
ing the street address.
“I’m sorry, but that’s an un
listed number,” the girl’s voice
floated over- the wire.
“But it’s a matter of life or
death!” Anne pleaded.
No Number
“Sorry, I’m not permitted to g’ive
out the number,” was the reply and
the connection was broken.
Muttering under her breath, Anne
ran back to the stable.
”Can’t raise him by phone, but
I’ll jump into my car and drive
there,” she told Burgess.
“Hurry up!” he commanded.
“I’m going to give her another,.shot
to relieve the -pain. She’s suffer
ing, you can see that.”
There was little traffic on the
roads at that hour of the morning,
and Anne, driving as fast as the
car would go, arrived at the Van
Evers’ mansion in twenty minutes.
She "dashed through a crowd of
guests just leaving, ignoring their
stares at her unconventional riding
costume. Brenda was just saying
good-bye to some of her friends,
when Anne unceremoniously inter
rupted her.
“Where’s Rusty!” she demanded.
“I’ve got to get to him right away.”
“I think he’s out on the terrace.'
What in the world has happened?”
But Anne already was on hei'
way, running down the steps and out
onto the terrace.x Rusty was just
tossing a cigaret away when she
found him.
“You’ve got to come to the
stables right away,” she cried,
breathlessly. “Doc Burgess wants
you.”
“Anything wrong?” Rusty was
immediately alert,
