ICHENDA hesitated and Brett Fairways prompted her with “Until?” “Oh, untii one’s lftle bank balance goes phut and one has: to get down to the trivial round ?ZPln. You see,” a little rebelliously, “I'm out en holiday for just so long as the.good time will last. I didn't mean to tell people about myself,” she went on ingeénuously, ‘“but those dreadful -newspapers: ‘Richcnda Feter- /®on in & corner of her own sanctum,’ ‘Richenda Peterson, hat on," enda ..

Fairways-laughed and fcllowed her exanple. . .. The next few days cemented still faster the friendship which-had grown #0 rapidly bétween the three, “And what did he say?” Richenda could not resist the question, “Oh—oh! He got cold feet at' once. A terrible attack! ‘But,’ says he, ;yo}; ‘What will people say?' and--0 the usual erowd of things the average male might be Boctea to say In the clrcumstances. rett,’ says ‘I, ‘that cabin:is mine till Mombasa—neither yow mor all the Grundys in the uni- verse can turn me out of it till I set foot in Mombasa!

He hasn't bought East Africa! He settled down sensibly at last. But,” she sighed per- plexedly, “of course, it makes some things awkward. You know, the four of us had planned a safari into the ue, and now, I suppose, Brett will have to go alone, unless we can get up another party. Why do idiotic folks have bones in thelr legs—bones that erack—anyway?”’ She sprang up and ran over to the To- | jade powder pot. “Ugh!” she said, as “WHAT WAS THERE TO SAY? HE HASN'T BOUGHT EAST AFRICA.” gether they picnicked on the mainland, probing ‘among the rock pools of the tide-bared resf for quaint shells and vivid ocean foliage.” When the sun fell low in the sky they bathed i the soft, warm water, splashing and laughing like three. mischievous chil- dren. Richenda noticed that "Mrs. Davenan somplexion did not survive such immersions very well, but within 15 minutes of reattiring herself behind her separate bush the pink flush in the pea: hite setting was back again, m&nt and alluring as ever. But Ri¢henda's.awn lips and cheeks needed no attent She’came from the water more Vi apd glowing than she had entered:it. her dark, curls more rebellious than before. Shé was glad that she had but little use for pots and tins of eream and bowder, just a dab on a sunburned chin or on a nose which might show & slight tendency ‘to peel, and that wad all. =} They danced at'several of the little clubs _in - Mombasa, too. Richenda liked Brett Fairways’ quiet, slow steps, djked to feel his arm holding her tightly but firmly as he guided her emong the gyrating crowd; but, best of all, she liked those times when they sat together in a secluded corner and the gay voice would tell her amusing experiences of his wandefings in lands. She was always a little sorry when ucille Davenant embarked herself and her partnet. upon their solitude. But Lucille rarely left the two long alone. At first Richends. had ~wondered what Bond there might,be between Brett Fairways and this:woman. It seemed odd. There was upparently no prospect of marriage hetween them. Yet they had come out on the same {boat. They were staying at the same hotel, were always together, and were obviously good friends. To each other they were frankly Lucille and Brett. Of course, she knew that nowadays the use. of Christian names means nothing. - Why, already Lucille had dubbed Richenda herself Mickie and Fairways had dropped the- Peterson and called her Miss Richenda. 'S, Christian names meant nothing, and yet—and yet—well, she had caught more than one strange look journey- ing between those two pairs of eyes. She had seen Mrs. Davenant’s f'rgers linger a fraction of & moment too long on his arm. She was ‘sure she had— almost. Once she ventured to' put a tenta- Rive question to Lucille: *“What made Yyou come to East Africa?” Mrs. Davenant raised an amused eyebrow. “I suppose it must seem a bit weird to you,” sh& said. *T inight have explained before; You see, Brett got a bit tired of running about in the * lonely, funny places of the world. He 1decided to take a holiday for a while— settle down a bit, you know--and, of course, everybody talks such a great deal about East Africa nowadays, the big game, the picturesque natives, the climate. ~ Brett .thought he'd «ome out.and see if there i any money to be made plucking coffee or:roasting cotton or whatever people do_Lere. mhen three more of us who hadn't anything partictlar on just then taid we would join him for a month or two. 1t’s better than Deauville and .less dangerous than Monte Carlo. . 80™— she laughed lightly—'‘we just hitched on to his wagon and came along, 100, e had a ‘gay time in Cairo—Shep- heurd’s, ' pyramids, * camels, = desert moonlight, and all that, you know." heiks?” &miled Richenda. gh!” Lucille’s powdered tose { wrinkled disgustedly. ‘“The ‘modern ked a purple-yellow cloud about her, “I'm getting tired of Mombasa alread:; It makes one’s nose So shiny.” Brett's moving up to Nairobi next week.

SONS JAIL FATHER, - 72, IN MARITAL ROW Howard Sleeping in Warden's Room as Controversy Becomes "More Involved. she By the Associated Press. - MEXICO CITY, July' 17.—The marital tangle of John F. Héward, wild | 72-year-old manufacturer of Haver- hill, Mass., has been furthér com- plicated by his formal arrest and im- |- prisonment in Mexico City, pending his trial on charges of perjury and bigamy. Howard was arrested in Mexico City and taken ‘to the Cuer- navaca Jail on the instarfce of his sons, John C. of Los Angeles and Albert F., who have been here some time In an effort to secure what they feel. would redress ~for their mother. The manufacturer, who secured a divorce in Mexico and then married Mrs. Eleanor B. Phillips of Milwau- kee, with whom he came to Mexico, has been given the warden's room at_the jail and is permitted to send to his hotel for his meals. Mrs. Phil- lips is now ill at a’Mexico City hos- pital, but ‘her condition is not re- led as serious. According to information here, the sons secured their fatherls arrest after their efforts to effect an ad- justment of the marital tangle had failed. sald the arrest represents ‘their final® efforts at a showdown. If their father makes what they regard as a finan- cial settlement on' their mother, they will not press their charges of per- jury and bigamy, ‘the sons 'say. Otherwise they plan to force the ¥ ¢ trial. The elder Howard has been main- taining that he {s being victimized by his sons for the sake of his prop- erty. but this they deny. They de- clare that they will not touch any of their father's money, but that they intend to force him to give ‘their mother a ‘proper part of his estate, SRR DOTY’S—S—YEAR SENTENCE LIKELY TO BE REDUCED French War Minister' Expected to | Be Lenient to Amerfcan : .Deserter in Syria.
