“ OLD on. .Pat." John cried
sharply. ‘That's a little un-
called for."
Dick Menefee reddened a little in
embarrassment and Paul Davidson
smiled as if he were enjoying it. but
Noel answered imperturbably. "Gen
iainly." .
“I think you're tying." declared
lbrbes. .
Boyd looked at him coolly and said
nothing. merely turned to his cards.
"Quite an admirable. sentiment.
Noel." remarked Davidson a trifle
sarcastlcaily. “but I don't believe
you either. Mind. I'm not accusing
you of out and out lying. like Pet
Forbes here. but I contend that if
Vera ever did put anything over on
you like that your high and mighty
resolutions would vanish in thin air
and you—well. frankly. you would
lust raise hell.“
"Resume." said Noel. "Before

threw down his cards. "1 think

You're as ofihodor as a flock of
divvors."
“Now. don't get me wrong." pro-
tested Davidson. “This arrangement
you speak of between Vera and you
is all right. only I don‘t think it will
work out so well in practice."
“Well. it's worked so far." said
Noel. ,. .
"You mean." suggested Forbes,
"that you've dons‘sorne stepping out
and Vera knows about it?"
“Absolutely—end it doesn‘t bother
her a. bit." Ills speech was getting

liqum he was absorbing. "And may

John almost. gasped and would
have spoken. but Davidson put up
his hand. 'Never mind. Boyd." he
said sharply. for the first time drop-

dressing him. “We don't want to

not too drunk to realise that only a
gutter pup would think of mention-
ing their names. I don't want to
know who they an. and I'm sure
none of the others do." and he in-
cluded John. Pet and Dick with his
look.
Noel struck the table sharply with
h list and started to rise. but
oh ired himself and sat back in his
chair. “Oh. all right." he grumbled,
and Paul made haste to change the
topic.
“As for myself." he said. “I avoid
all entanglements and complications
by staying single. The way I look
at it. it Duct only foolish to marry
but inariistio as ‘well. ., .. ,. A field

"Oh." and Boyd waved his hand as

"And yet." John put in quickly.

at John as he said this. and John for
the first time was aware that his lit-
tle tete-a-tete with Eleanor Mason
was known to him. and reddened in
embarrassment.
Dick Menefee. observing the silent
passage between John and Noel. out

But the peace-loving Menefse was

swaying unsteadily. waited for the
others to stop talking. Veins stood
out on his forehead. and Paul David-
son. sensing thet Noel was about to
say something rash. tried to quiet
him.
"flit down. Noel." he said sooth-
ingly. “Why don’t you go to bed
now? If you don't you're going to
wake up with an awful heed."
“Shut up and let me talk'." the
other retorted. Addressing himself
again to John. be said. “Now I'm

You cut loose. all of you. and. as the
story books say. you sowed your
wild oats. Of course. Paul isn't mar-
ried. but he doesn‘t make any pro-
tense of being virtuous anyway."
He waved his hands at Paul, who
would have interrupted again.
"Shut up. I said." he cried.
Pat said. "Oh. let the hot head
have his say." and John. aware that
Noel was aiming chiefly at him. said
nothing but continued to stare fixed-
iy at the drunken Boyd.
“I'll make another little bet." went'
on Noel. “And that is that at least
one of you married men has stepped
out since his marriage. and he hasn't
got guts enough to admit it to his
wife."
The‘ usually placid Menctee
frowned ”angrily, but the words he
said to Noel were coolly spoken. :‘l
think you've gone far enough. Noell"
"0h. I'll leave you out. Dick."
Noel continued. “because you're still
a bridegroom. The novelty hasn’t
worn on yet.”
John looked appeaungiy at David
son. who shrugged as if in hopeless
ness and wanted around to Boyd's
side. where he stood wetting.
And Noel went on. "Understand. I
haven‘t the goods on either one of
the remaining two, but my conten-
tion would be supported by the
averages. Take three married men
anywhere-end then try to tell me
that at least one of them isn't an
