LOVE ON A BET."

CHAPTER 1
Story

THE SUPPER coluning, in deserib
ing the Central Park Casin, earry the inetful suggestion: "Better dress but not obligatory." In other words, dinner Jacket or white the und talls preferred, snck suit admissible, but never, by the wildest flight of fancy, may one appear in a simple, homely suit of underwear!
So Michael MacCreigti, who had been a patron often enough to know the rules, was shattering ali precedent that night when he bounded into the Casino garden wearing nothing but a harassed look and his B.V.D's.
The expression wan justinble. A barefoot race over the Central Park cinder paths with a horrified police man in hot pursuit would bring wrinkles and gray hair even to Shirley Temple.
But the underwear is another story, Michnet was not garbed for a Benux Arts ball or a fraternity Initiation, He was setting out to win a bet which.
if he won, would bring him the $15,000 broking he needed for his play which, if he failed. would deem him forever to a Job in his Unele Carlton's meat packing factory.
Michael had hunde the bet with his uncle to prove that the plot of the play was entirely plausible that a man could start in New York with bis underwear and no money and rench Los Angeles ten dnys Inter with a new suit of clothes, $100 in cash and a pretty faneve. And Michael) was going to do just that. He had to do it, he told himself.

"Say please! Michnel retorted and Panin's Ince dared at recognition of the phrase he bad used in the park.

That done, Michael built a blazing log fire in the fireplace,, moved a com- fortable sofa in front of it, and then telephoned Paula's room.
THE SOUNDING of an approaching
car revived his hopes. This time, to his intense relief, his pleading thumb worked. The machine came to arm waved him in- a stop and an vitingly to the back sent.
As he sprawled between pieces of luggage, a swift grin of recognition russed Michael's face, At the wheel Paula Gilbert and beside her an older woman-her Aunt Charlotte.

Michiel shook his head stubbornly. "Not until you say please!”

Michael glanced at him contemptu- ously.

There's a message for you at the desk," he drawled in an exaggerated imitation of the proprietor's tone. "Sorry can't read it over the phone and I can't leave the desk."
Paula came down almost immedinte- ly. The sight of Michael grinning at her from the desk seemed to infuriate her,
"Where's my message?" she asked angrily. "You said there was some- thing for me."
"Oh, yes," he assured her quickly. "IC goes something like this...when you're all alone in the world, hungry and cold, there's nothing like a for firepince "when you grow old!" BT he pointed invitingly, to the

Michael Was suddenly serious. "Stop being a fool," he urged softly. "Come over to the fire and warm yourself. Don't be unfair-if you'd only let nie, try to give you a rough idea of what I'm like," he grin- j ned.
"That's what I'm afraid of," she said, but the tartness had gone from her lone. Paula was, after all, young and susceptible to his tall blond, lithe good looks. And Michael, bliss- fully unaware that she was on her way to marry another man for his money, knowing nothing more than that she was the most altractive, adorable girl he had ever met, fouri himself definitely in love,
Aunt Charlotte found them later seated before the fire, toasting marsh- mallows, Michael's strong arm around the girl's slender waist. There wLS grim determination in her face as she broke up the little scene. Michael might have ruined her plans once; she didn't intend to give him another. opportunity.
