I don’t want to be a gypsy all my life. “I know,” Anne whispered. “Everything’s just got to be all right.” Rusty’s teeth clamped down as he swung the car through gates at the track and headed his stables. “Aren’t you going to work Van Evers? Pat told me he’d made an offer. “Not unless I can’t help myself.” Rusty jerked on the brakes leaping to the ground, started ning towards Red Cloud’s stall, (To be Continued) •the for for CHAPTER XIV 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 prepared couple of somewhat, streamline the light. “Too much excitement,” she de­ cided, and turned over deliberate­ ly, determined to get to sleep. But 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- “It would take care of Dad couple of years, and give him for bed and while a aspirins dulled the a’che her mind was racing at speed as she turned out a gotta get hold of Rusty. 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, CHAPTER XV turn 'Moon self.

But then she didn’t know him very well, “I dofi’t see that it’s any of my business,” she finally told herself severely, and tried to put Brenda and Rusty out of her thoughts. But it was as much of a failure aS her efforts to relax and go to sleep. She finally turned on the bed­ side light and saw that it was near­ ly 4 a.m. and disgusted with her efforts’ to vest, she climbed out- of bed.

He narrowly escaped several crash­ es with cars of he whiided the winding roads. When he was on a straight boulevard, he spoke for the first -time. “■What happened?” Might Be Mistaken The girl hesitated.
