AKITTY _by JANE SYNOPSIS: Safely hidden, Kitty Frew has thought her- self. A runaway from her husband, Gar, she is working in a store until he is willing to forget the money he will in- herit and settle down to sup- perting her without his moth- er's aid. But suddenly she sees Gar's sister, Carol and fears discovery. CHAPTER 21. FIRM GROUND Miss Lee had ndt noticed Kit- ty’s agitation. She was enjoying herself im- mensely; to talk even with a pre- tense of intimacy of such people as Margery Crosby, and the Idyi- lers, had for her as pleasant taste as thé Chef’s salad. “I don’ care much for amateur things, but I'm going to the first show. I like to see who's in the audience and itl1 be a smart one. That's the way T fix these people in my mind, you see. This Somerset coaching them. He may be a good actor, but 1 can't say I like his looks, do you?” Kitty looked at Paul Somer- set. He was lean, dark-skinned, theavy browed, with black hair which he wore plastered back from his prominent forehead. He was leisurely finishing his meal, appar- ently urdisturbed by Carol's de- sertion. “No, I don’t like his looks.” And Kitty was thinking of Carol, of Carol's face as it hdd looked when she left the table. Carol had said she had nothing she wanted. Did she want Paul Somerset? And if she did there was Marge tO reck- Gar had laughed ove: the way Marge was giving this fellow a rush. The old alien feeling swept all of them, and then almost at once it left her. Why, now she had escaped them—she'd found firm ground for her feet to tread. “I think I'll let you take charge of the display after this” Miss Lee was saying. The next Sunday Kitty, leav- ing the house for breakfast, paus- ed on the top step to draw in a long breath of the sun-warmed air. Usually on Sunday she met David at the comer restaurant to eat breakfast with him, to dally over the meal, talking to him to drink a second and often a third cup of coffee stood off the emptiness of the long day. Now she found him waiting at the ta- ble which they called theirs by right of usage. He rose quickly to greet The concern with which he al- ways met her took nate of her, Highter step, a little glow on her face, a softening of the t00-set,, lines about her face. “Did you ever know such a day?”, she asked gayly as she eased her- self in the chair he drew out for her. “I wish I had wings—I'd fly to a hilltop T know back home.” Her whole heart was childishly, in her voice. David smiled at her as if she was a child. “We can go without wings. Not to your particular hill- top, but to one that's particularly mine, if itl do” “David! You mean to your lit- tle house?” “Yes. There's a bus that goes walking?” “Oh, TNl love it. What a dal- ing you are to think of it. to know how much I'm longing to see real country again. Can we ftake a picnic lunch? Can we start at once?” “And you say you're grown up.” “I feel young today. It's—but T'm not going to ‘tell you now. I'm going to save it. Oh, David. I'm happy again. Did you guess when you saw me?” He nodded. He'd seen that she was happy, perhaps she'd heard from him. But he didn't want to know just now. “You'd better eat some break- your room and get an extra wrap. It may turn cold before night. This warmth is only one of the weatherman's jokes.” “Might not Dorcas like to go?” with such lack of that she had to explain, laugh- ingly. “T'm selfish this morning. over Kitty, for Marge and Carol, 0 within a half mile.

Youre so—so list- ng! You're even better than a brother. 1 think my heart would have broken with every- thing shut up in it” She put out her hand impulsively and closed it over David’s, where his lay on the table, thumb right over his fingers. “David, you're wonder- ful.” He moved his hand out from hers. “Don’t give me too much of the brother role—I've never le ed that part. I might. fall down on the lines, Kitty. Have you finished? We won't bother with a lunch—we’l find something up there. And we won't take Dorcas along.” He had gotten up and was standing behind her chair, her coat in his hands. He smiled down at the top of her head. “This will be our day if you want it so.” They boarded an interban bus at the end of Ketchum street. It took them through the city, on past the suburban bungalows hanging like a fringe on the city limits, on to open fields and farm houses and barns. Kitty's ex- citement was like a child’s. “Look, David! Those willows. Couldnt you think it was Spring? —David, see those ridiculous geese? —David, why haven' ‘we done this every Sunday?” hey left the bus at vad and followed it where it ound through brown orchards up over a hill. Kitty matched her stride to David’s freer swing. She ok off her hat and carried it, and the softly stirring air rongh- ened her hair and brought a high- r color to her cheeks. Her chin lifted, her eyes were going hungrily ahead to the edge of the hilltop. They pased before they started down into the further valley. Da- vid pointed to housetops, a white church spire, visible among the tree-tops in the distance. “That’s White’s Corners. It's a mile beyond my place. Tt's named for my mother's people. Most of them are buried there. At one time my grea‘-grandfather owned part of the valley. There's mill ‘the other side of those woods—it's gone to pieces now—" A new quality in his voice brougl Kitty's eyes to his face. It was of us. a Cross- " jalight with a strong pride. her.) They walked on down the hill and at its bottom turned into a narrow road that ran off at a \sharp angle. And almost ac once David caid, ‘Here we are. It was a low-built gray clap- boarded house, old, but with no dreariness or neglect in its age. It had no look of desertion, rath- er one of waiting. Kitty remsm- a collie dog. The animal leaped upon David, whimpering in his joy, licking David’s hands and face. “Jan, this is Kitty.” The dog greeted Kitty with more dignity, simply nuzzling her out- stretched hand and returning at once to the adoring of his master. “I've had him since he was a puppy,” David explained. ‘“The Dandy’s keep him for me.” He was holding the dog’'s head close to his shoulder. “Jan, old fel- low, have you missed me as much as that?” Jan went with them while they explored the house. Narrow steps led to the sleeping chambers above, small rooms, with sloping ceilings and narrow, small-paned windows. “This was my mother's room —when she was a girl,” David said on the threshold of one. Kitty made no move to enter. She saw the books, the pictures, the little blue glass lamp on the table at the window, the low rocking chair beside it, the pay piece- work quilt folded at the foot uf[ the narrow wooden bed. She slipped her hand thwugh Davids arm. “David, I wish you would tell me about her some- time,” she said softly. (Copyright, Jane Abbott) David tries to break Kitty's illusions about Gar, tomorrow. “Haven't you learned the truth about it all,” he asks. e 8 ‘ L. C. SMITH and CORONA | TYPEWRITERS J. B.
