. S Mad Rl Y JESSIE DOUGLAS fFOX SYNOPEIS: Favorabe reports from the art cxhibit etaged by Julian Lake bring to his daugh- ter, Ncra, the hope of cuccass he had predicted. Now, che reflcot’, hc may provide for her Aunt Emily and coucins, Fran- ccz and Hallie, with w che had lived cince the cuicide of her husband, Nicholas Thay- er, th> paintcr. In the mean- time, Ncra's cngagement to Ni- chelas’ brether, Jon, ic a step toward hcr dream of lifz in the Thaycr mancion. Bat when in her cxhibit, she knows that signed his name to the work cof another. Dismayed, she gocs with Jon to the Tha cr heme, where his step-sister, Damon, charges that Juliun had stelen the paintings Nicho- las had left with him. Chapter 28 BACK TO AUNT EM'S Nora swayed slightly at Damon’s accusing words, but she rose with a savage will, clutching at the chair back. The walls of the Thayer home were rising and flow- ing toward her like a mighty wave that crashed on her to suck her under in the crawling undertow. When she looked up she saw Jon was in the room, looking from her to Damon. with a voice like splintered glass. “The pictures on exhibition were not painted by Julian Lake. Nicho- las painted them. And she admits i “Nora?™ Jon cried. His eyes judged her without pity. “You urged me all along not to let your father have the show. You knew then ..." “I didn't know! know?” “Then why did you beg me not to have the pictures exhibited?” “I was ashamed. My father’s pic- | tures were so—bad. “You see she must have known all the time,” Damon said in a low voice. “Coc," Jon saia as though to him- self, “I couldn't have believed it.” She looked at him, imploring him for understanding. But he would not look at her. Nothing she could say would make them believe. She stood beside her father in the ranks of thieves; thieves who robbed the dead. She saw Jon fling out of the room. Damon sat very still, look- ing down at her hands. “I must go.” She must have said it; but her voice soundad very far away as though it belonged to someone else. Tt must be her body that was walk- ing with such stiff uncertain steps| she the not out of the room. It must be who had made her way to highroad and began to walk, knowing where she was going. A man in an old car saw Damon was speaking | How could I her{bear it. It doesn’t ‘matter to me. et e = moving uncertainly from one side {of the road to the other. He stop- !ped and asked her if he could drive her into town. She got in ! without even answering. He turned to speak to her but he saw then | that tears were running down he: |cheeks. So they drove to the city | where she told him where she liv- ed. He left her at her door. She had even forgotten to thank him. If only she could hide some: where, thought, so that ne again would she have to meet them face to face. She could not unlock the door, her fingers fumbled so with the key Shg began to cry weakly, and |then someone had opened the deor from the inside and Fergus stood there looking at her. “What's the matter?” | “Nothing! Nothing! be the matter?” she cried wildly. | But no, this was not the way. She must be quiet and calm. Fer- gus took one of her hands. It was ice-cold. He led her into his office and shut the door. He brought her something to drink. She tried to drink it. But| she could not swallow. She put |the glass down on his desk. | “It would be better if you would |tell me, Nora. I may be able to help you.” “Fergus, don't make me,” she said piteously. “I'm so horribly afraid.” | He was not looking at her. That {was better. He sat in his chair tilted back, looking away from her |to the window. “If I could go away somewhere “You can face it Nora. Ibrave,” he said confidently. “If I tell you, Fergus, you won't |blame him—oh, Fergus, Julian's like a child who takes anything he wants and uses it.” Little by little she told him the story. She sat waiting for his | judgment. But none came. His |dark head was'bent. The tele- phone rang. It continued to ring ‘and ring. After a while it stop- {ped ringing. They still sat there “I'll go to see him tonight,” Fer- {gus said. “T'll tell him all you have told me. The show must be closed. T'll ask him to promise that the ! paintings shall jbe turned over to Jon Thayer. He can do as he| chooses about it. I'm afraid your father will have to foce it.” | | “You're “He's never faced anything in | his life. He's always ran away.” “That, too, can be managed.” “You are good, Fergus. FPrances used to tell me—but I never knew {until now—you don't think Juli |1s wicked? He isn’t—he's only: “Pitiful,” Fergus said. For the first time tears rolled [over her cheeks. “I'm sorry, Nora." “Don’t be sorry for me.
