Patsy suddenly finds her heart wavering toward Lee. She fears a love of this kind. but scemingly ean- not help herself. Ted is madly infatu- ated with Virginia and insanely jealous when Virginia tells Patsy that Lee is married to Kitty Cavendish. who 18 in Reno to get & divorce. and that she.

She is unable to make her way back and finally is found by Lee. The next instant they are in each other's arms and theis lips meet for the first time. her what it had done to so many others. Lee said: “Admiral Warfield, I've fallen in love with Patsy—you can understand that, I know. I want to marry her when—when I'm free to marry any one.” Patsy's icy fingers twined together, her legs became limp beneath her. She heard grandfather clear his throat, heard him tap his cane against the bottom step of the stairs, heard his voice and felt a pang of relief when she recognized it to be gentle and CHAPTER IV. { THERES MUD ALL OVER MY BEST WHITE SHOES SAYS PEE-CHEE WHITE, | *NOW DONT YOU FRET!

He said: “Forgive me, son, but you see it takes a r:oment for an old man, even an old ‘sailor, to adjust himself to surprises like this. Last night I announced Patsy’s engagement to Richard Bowie and today you tell me that——" His voice broke off sud- denly and there was a cogent pause. Then he want on: “Does Patsy know about this?"” Patsy moved a little then, very quiet- ly, until she could see into the hall. Lee was standing, very tall and straight and blondly handsome, looking directly into grandfather’s puzzled eyes. and grandfather, she saw, was leaning a little heavily on his cane. She thought: | @ ve stopped Lee!| Mandy’ S, had sone nto town 0| Geusratner i ol " Macc| 00Kk 088 : 3 illness and Ted's affair with Virginia said that Mr. mchard- h.ddnll’le? vr{{); i Keith and Tippy flunking out of the | ;:"ly&::{‘:‘;?:ad not wanted Patsy 10 |,.94emy worrying him, Now he has awi ; i Patsy went out then.

Next morning she awakened with a faint throb in her tem- ples and her eyes feeling as if they had been starched. While she was still asleep, old Ephriam had brought her iced orange juice, cereal and a glass of chilled milk, and had put it on the little maple table beside her bed. Patsy ate hurricdly. Then she got up, bathed, put on a gray wool frock and tipped into Marcia’s room. Marcia was not there and downstairs she learned from Mandy, the cook, that her sister and grandfather had gone | to Washir n to see Dr. Cole Proctor, nerve specialist. Mr. Cavendish, old It had almost afraid to interrupt the tan- trum, but she began hesitatingly: “Miss Kitty, here's a special delivery for you, ma'am.” Kitty took the letter, opened it, read it hastily part way through and started to throw it into the waste basket. But then she saw Lee's name. Vir- ginia Keith had written: “By the time you get this you'll prob- ably be married to Rolfe—off with the old and on with the new! It's a pleas- ant world, isn't it? You might be in- terested to know that Lee is waiting as breathlessly for the decree as you. You can guess the answer—another woman. Her name is Patsy Warfield and she’s very young and pretty. The odd part is that she met Lee about three weeks ago, the very night her engagement to Richard Bowie was being announced. The courtship has been a whirlwind affair to watch. A love match. He swept her off her feet in the best Cavendish tradition and she’s giving up an operatic career, which the Bowie money would have made possible, to marry him. Richard Bowie took the whole thing as a Mary- land gentleman should, but he looks like a dark wraith and seldom leaves his laboratory. He's a scientist.” Her vivid blue eyes began to glow. Her lips tightened in a narrow line. There wasn’t much Lee could do if she wanted to stay married to him— not with the club she had to hold over his head. She called out, her voice high-pitched and excited: Bertha! Pack my trunks and tell Jenkins to bring the limousine around. We're going to Annapolis!” (To be continued.) My Neighbor Says: The best time to water the lawn is in the evening. There is less evaporation at that time and therefore less waste of water. Candied ginger, diced and com- bined with chilled fruits, makes a tasty cocktail. Long brewing robs both tea and coffee of their flavors. In the first minute of contact between hot water and finely ground coffee you extract about 80 per cent of all the qualities and ingredients you want. Three minutes is the limit for brewing either tea or coffee. (Copyright, 1936.) “Bertha! | D. C, Psychology | BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Independence. THERE are many ways to evaluate persons.

They laughed at the place where they had once | found Victor Caldwell swimming and how they had dug a hole and had buried his clothes in it, leaving him a note to that effect. The ground still showed evidences of the tunneling that | frantic little boy had done -to save himself the humiliation of going home | draped in tree branches. | At last Richard said he had to get | back to his work, and Patsy walked | alone for another hour, down a twist- | ing country road and up through the | apple orchard of Tree Tops to the | house. She came in, her cheeks | flushed from the cold, and found Lee Cavendish making himself completely at home in the drawing room. She | winked a little in the soft light and wondered if her nose was shiny and hated herself for it. | Lee said: “Luncheon has been wait- ! ing an hour and Mandy is in a temper, throwing pots and pans around! What made you so late? I've worn a path | from the door to the window and from | the window to the porch. That'll be | something for you to remember me{ by. You see I now have a home. An | apartment on State circle!” She felt suddenly that she must say something or do something lest he see that she was in love with him and aching and miserable over it. She said, quickly, her eyes bright: “I'll race you to the dining room.” They started off at a run through the big house, slipping on the rugs, colliding at the s:mnall door of the breakfast porch, laughing iike chil- dren. In the silly, youthful tussle Lee was determined to be the first through the door, but his blond hair was pulled and her fingers bit into his shoulders for she became as fierce in play as a tiger cub. “Oh, no, you' don’t, my good woman!” he kept laughing. The struggle grew secretly more earnest than play. Because he was a man he was seriously determined to con- quer her. He finally held her in an iron vise with one arm, blocking her from passing over the threshold, smiling down at her. And suddenly he saw the look in her eyes, felt a glow of excitement | , because her golden head was so close, because there was a faint and elusive fragrance about her, because she was as slim and supple and lovely as a Spring flower against him. His other arm went about her, hard | » and quick and tender, and he bent and kissed her mouth. Her lips clung. And in that moment they went blind with the consciousness that something breath-taking and wonderful had happened. He crushed her o him again and kissed the parting of her hair and her cheek where he had seen the dimple. “I've no right to love you, Patsy—no | * right at all. But I do—God knows I do. I knew it last night on the portico and out in the storm. I think I've known it always.” They heard the front door open; heard Admiral Warfield say: “Now, Marcia, if you'll just try you can lick it, dear!” Heard Marcia say, “Dr. Proctor was right. TI'll try, granddad I promise faithfully that I'll try!” Then they heard her heavy step on the stairs and her door close and grandfather calling old Ephraim. Lee said: “Wait a minute, Patsy.” And he went straight out into the hall to Admiral Warfield. * Patsy stood leaning against the door, her hecrt racing, her fingers trembling, some- thing deep within her urging her to call him back, and yet something more juice and bacon spilled half on the She was school. showed us how Wesson Oil, bles twice as good, foo. goes with vegetables, bot or cold. | coffee pot and the toast and tomntol Mother, may | cook the vegetables for dinner to- night# I've learned a new way of doing them at you've always used for cold vege- table salads, makes hot vegeta- EVERY DAY Have you tried Versis fresk Mayon. naise yet? gredients every with daily del That means you r fresh! qu VERSIS FOOD SPECIALTY €O. 3 But | have, Mother.
