Then Har- tiet Noel, who has refused to marry him, goes to New York to realize those theatrical as- pirations which had scandalized their village. Tony's jeb when they are billed together is daghed by their quarrel when he learns that she is to wed their manager, Roy Donovan. His hopes dead, he returns home. There, teo, later, Harriet, descried by her husband, Don- cvan, gocs with her son, Pierre, age four. In him Tony discerns the reborn theatrical talent of his mother. After her death the sensitive boy and Bruce, the bullying stepson Donovan had put in Harriet's charge, are rivals for the favor of Ann Be- vis. Chapter 11 CARFER OR MARRIAGE The rivalry between Plerre and’ Bruce affected each differently. When Ann chose Pierre, Bruce would be angry.

Ann will un- derstand some day. Besides,” he added without a trace of ill feeling, but with an odd wistful note in his | voice, “Bruce is the Orchard.

It would be almost a miracle, I think, if such a marriage did not end disastrous- iy t Pierre nodded rewuctant agree- ment. Then he tried to6 speak in a matter-of-fact tone: “Of course, it would be an impossible thing for Bruce, Pierre would make merry of ;& decent fellow to do. If a man his defeat. When she seemed to prefer some other lad, Pierre would jestingly console Bruce, much to the older boy's disgust. Ann laugh- ingly said she loved them all. “Ann’s father, Martin Bevis, and 17 Old Tony explains, “went to se¢hool together. When Martin grad- uated from the academy—the year I ran away to become an actor— he took a position as bookkeeper in the First National Bank. Forty years later he is still a bookkeeper in the First N on Bank. And that,” the old actor declares, “is a complete characterization of Martin Bevis!” Mrs. Bevis took care of her hus- band until little Ann was 13. Then she passed to her well earned rest and the responsibility of taking care of Martin fell upon his daugh- tér. She was a most lovable girl, with a sweet Madonna-like face and that mother sxirit which such girls have. Somehow she managed to. attend the public schools and with her very real charm, she was @ great favorite. Bruce, his school days ended, ac- cepled a position as clerk in the First National Bank. Plerre, when he finished school, accepted a posi- tion at the soda fountain of the Qwl Drug Store—which his moth- er's father had once owned. “You see, Father Tony,” Pierre explained, “that soda fountain is the best place in Orchard Hill for me to study character. It is only for two years—then I'll have the mon- efi whieh mother left for me and Il beat it to New York and the American . Academy of Dramatic Art.” “What does Ann think about it?” Old Tony asked gently.

With me—well, I simply couldn’t give up the the- ater.” We can imegine hew. vividly the boy’s words brcught back to An- tonio memories of Harriet Noel and that scene when she had chosen between her love and her art Presently Plerre said wistfully, “Do you know, Father Tony, I sometintes wish that what people call practical—that T cared more for business and that sort of thing? If I was more like Bruce now—Bruce will have no troubles about marrying and hav- ing a family and all that. He won't need to bother about mar- riage interfering with his career. Good old Bruce—he's a lucky dog, isn't he?” Pierre _had been working at the soda fountain nearly a year when Bruce and Ann married and began their life together in the Bevis home where Ann had kept house for her father since her mother's death. Her father was to live with them. That same year, the old couple with whom Plerre lived moved to Cleveland and Pierre went to board with the Careys. Old Tony says, “It was Ann's idea. ‘The girl felt that Pierre was so like a brother to Bruce that it was their duty to look after him.” It was about three months before Plerre’s twentieth birthday when Picrre first told Tony that Bruce had been offered at ground-floor prices a substantial interest in a Nevada gold mine, certain to de- velop into one of the richest ever knhown, “It's a darned shame ihat Bruce can't grab this chance to make real money,” said Pierre. “Martin Be- vis says the mine is certain to pro- duce millions and that such a chance may never come again. It would mean a lot to Ann if Bruce could get into something big. If he sticks in that dinky First National he’ll never get anywhere.” “Who is this benevolent person who wants to sell Bruce a gold mine in Nevada?” Antonio asked dryly. “Martin didn’t mention his name, just said that he was an old friend who wanted to let Bruce in on a good thing. Martin says the man is all right and that the investment is certain to brihg enormotis returns: Martin told me about some of the biggest financiers in the country who got their first start by just such a chance as this. 'What do you think about it, Father Tony?" “What do I think about what, Pierre?” “Why this' proposition that I've been telling you about—this Ne- vada gold mine.” “I don’t know anything about it, Pierre—do you?” “I know what Bruce and Martin Bevis tell me.” . “Well, why doesn’t Bruce invest if he and Martin think this mine is such a good thing?” “Bruce hasn't the money.” “Oh, I see! Bruce and Martin want you to put the money your mother left for your dramatic schooling into this mining scheme. Is that it?” Pierre’s voice was troubled as he answered: “Bruce says he can | After a long silence, Pierre spoke | I was more | |you think so, Father Ton, When the old actor recalls this incident his faded blue cyes flash with righteous indignation. “You {can imagine,” he says, “what I ad- | vised Harriet's son to do with the little inheritance which, as the exe- cutor, I would turn over to him on |his twentieth birthday. | “And you can imagine what I |said to Bruce and that old fool, |Martin Bevis, for trying to rush a |boy like Pierre into their money- |making schemes, and like as not |ruining his whole life. It was the |most selfish and cruel proposition that could be conceived! Ann was as indignant as I and put her foot down hard, forbidding her father and Bruce ever to mention the scheme to Pierre again.” But while the matter was ap- parently settled and Pierre went Jjoyously ahead with his plans for entering the New York school, Pi- erre’s guardian worried over what might happen to defeat Pierre’s ;purpaw to fulfill his mother's dreams and to realize his own dearest ambitions. “I could not believe that Bruce | would cease his efforts to persuade | ;Pierm to turn his school money |over to him, when he would be | free to do with his inheritance as he chose,” the old actor said. “I remembered how from In- fancy Harriet’s son had yielded to the older boy's will. I knew so well Pierre’s generous, impulsive nature. “Harriet's presence in those days | was very real.
