O R CEETE KITTY | SYNOPSIS: A quick, hot quar- rel—and Kitty Frew is left alone to wait for her husband, Gar, to | return home. Fear overtakes her when he does not arrive. The main trouble lies in her efforts to make Gar settle down and be a good time. They have been married only a short time, but already she has learned that she docsn’t fit into his erowd. The cocl and mannered girls and the swift-paced boys are very dif- ferent from the young people of her small heme town. Even thecugh she fries to lcarn new points of view, Gar finds Kitty stiff and prim before his old friends. His mother’s leased dis- approval to the marriage makes Kitty uncomfertable and strength- ens Mrs. Frew's determination to | maintain control over Gar. Still v. waiting for Gar, Kitty goes into the hall to find a shabby stranger there. Chapter 8 ! CONSPIRATORS “Hello, who are you?” The man’s tone casual, manner equally so. He approached Kitty quickly, concerned, for he had | seen her face whiten, her hands| go to her throat. | “Who—who are you? What do| you want—" | And then Pound appeared, smil- | ing. | Good evening, Mr. David. dt's| nice to see you. But your father| has telephoned that he's left for | New York. Youwll stay? Mrs. Gar, | here, will like your eompany. Din- | ner is ready.” “So you are—Gar's wife?” David Frew laughed. his “And you are David?” And be- cause he hadn’t come to tell her that Gar was killed Kitty laughed; too. “Kitty. That name fits you rather neatly, Mrs. Gar.’ ’ “It's really Katherine, though no one ever calls me that.” “Of course not, you're not big enough yet. You may grow into it—" “I'm quite grown up.” “And wise and experienced, of course—" Kitty laughed at his teasing. She had laughed frequently during the course of the dinner which Pound served them with as much care as though they were guests of state. She had eaten heartily, too, She had felt at ease with David at once. Perhaps, she thought, real- izing that ease, it was because she had not speculated on meeting him, Through the yellow glow of can- dlelight over the le she observed him with interest. He was not like Gar, nor like his father. His face was thin, with high cheek-bones and a long jaw; his eyes were deep- set under heavy brows. His thick hair and his skin were a weath- ered brown that made his gray eyes almost colorless in contrast. “He isnt’ a bit nice looking,” she ap- praised, until he smiled. It wasn't Gar's quick, charming smile — i was slow-coming, lingering, trans- figuring, thing to share. She gathered from what passed between David and Pound that he came infrequently like this, tohave dinner with his father, but only when he knew Mrs. Frew would not be at home, practical, while he wants to have | * ) FREW, “I am an intruder, you know,” he had said to Kitty, lightly. “I'm erc by Pound's grace.

Pound had kindled a small fire on thé open hearth. “It's cheerful [like,” he explained. | “Does he think we need cheer?” [ David laughed.

He a | frowned into the fire, holding to a gsilence from which he spoke ntly with a mocking tone. “I'm here by Pound’s grace, We conspire, the two of us,” David said, s, w has been very sweet to/you, hasn't she?” #Oh, yes. She’s been darling. Lots of mothers, caring for Gar as she does, might not have forgiven me. “I can understand that now. But she's been very nice about it—" “She’s allowed you to sit on the edge of he rthrone. But she’s let you see that hers is a prior claim on Gar, hasn't she?” “I won'’t listen to you if you talk dike that,” Kitty answered spirit- edly. David patted her hand. “Don't then. But I'd like to see you stand square on your two little feet, as long as you've walked into this thing. Now let’s talk about you. T want to know about Bridgewater. Did you live by any chance in a nice friendly old house with picket fence around it?” “Why, I did—a very old house, and a very old fence and both need repairing most frightfully.” ‘"—a nice big kitchen, that smells very pleasantly of baking and a family room with—good, old, hon- orable things in it?” Laughing, she admitted to the good old possessions of her father’s home, to their honorable shabbi- ness. . “I like a place like that,” David said, slowly. A place that seems to put arms around you when you walk into it. I've got one—out on a by-road in the country.” “T'd love to see it 'Kitty said softly. She bent a tender glance on David’s head.
