THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1936. olden Golde on Rain SYNOPSIS: After only one night asa boarder in the home of Miss Ela Lanning, gentlewoman who has seen better days, Morgan Black feels more relazed an: happier than for months before. Partly it ts Miss Ella’s good food, partly t ts Miss Blla’s niece Iris and partly Bhrewd and overworked Uncle Wil- liam. Morgan finds that Iris ts be- ing made a sort 0; living sacrifice to her dead father, who was a painter and, unfortunately, a “mis- understood genius.” Chapter Six _ ” STRAIGHT TALK * A UNT ELLA! Where’s the key to the bottom brown trunk— oh!” fris’s vivid-eyed page-head popped in at the jining-room door and withdrew itself; Iris’s voice, stiff as a young duchess’s, said througl the crack, “Good morning. Mr. Biack. Sorry I interrupted,” and was gone. He ran her to earth sweeping out the studio in her clean faded paint- marked linen smock. It made her look more than ever like a pretty page. “Is there something I can get you?” she asked. Her mock-meek voice all but made the sentence end “my lord!” “Yes,” said Morgan with more actually would admit herself in the wrong. ORGAN and Iris slid into a workable relation as the days and weeks went on. They fought a little; but it got to be a cousinly warfare. From time to time they even made common cause. After all, they were both young. “Though after all, why one should think the world owed one such a lot—” said Morgan one afternoon. They were by themselves, very friendly at the farther black-marble fireplace in the sitting-dining room. Iris hed a marred shiny maple cut- ting board across her lap, copying a paotograph of one of her friends on a slip of parchment, in water col- ors. It was the only way she could make presents. Morgan, opposite, had a card table and f pile of books and papers which would presently evolve into a family tree for a man who had always wanted one. “It does!” said Iris. “What makes you uo all that work?” He straightened his tall back and laughee a little shamefacedly. “I don’t know. I like doing things for ing him that. “Look here, let me slip you the check I get for this. It’s Uncle Will’s money, so you can’t be Uncle Will.” He had come to call- | an insulted duchess over it.” ' | | “Do you want me to get out?” asked Morgan. spirit than origiwatity, “a few kind words! If I'm going to stay here we have to come to an understanding. Do you want me to get out? If you do, all right, say so, instead of high- hatting me this way.” “Have I failed in proper civilities and attentions?” He all but shook her, meek hands folded on her broom, lashes dropped, feet together—the perfect slave. “Yes, you have. Stop taking it out on me because you talked out a bad- temyered mood. I know what they are, I have them myself.” “It wasn’t temper—I meant it. I'm} sorry—I haven't been polite. But | can't like you the way they do. Poor old Uncle William, that should have had ten cons, saying if he’d had one he'd have liked him like you—Aunt Ella with her petits soins—” He found himself noting that she had an excellent French accent. Was tiere anything this young crea ture in the sticks didn’t have? He answered none the less sternly. “You're jealous.” “I'm vot. But they're too good for common sense. I'm always afraid” —she was confiding in him again, unconsciously—"“I'll get like that.” “Don’t worry,” said Morgan sar donicelly. “I don’t know—I'm awfully full of ings!” she said naively. “And Uncl2 Will's had me all my life, with his splendid aggravating useless code hammered at me! ‘Give all for an ideal.

A poor old drudging lawyer!” “It's fine, though. I haven't seen too much of it!” “No you've evidently lived with the successful,” said Iris, beginning to dast the mantel. “Well. why don’t you try thom yourself?” “Perhaps,” she said dreamily, “some day I'll have the chance.” “O', you'll get it if you want it badly enough,” he said scornfully. And then Miss Ella called Iris, but not before she had time to say im- “It wouldn’t be honorable.” “And you think you're a modern girl! Take all you can get is their motto.” “I don’t believe a word of it. You're being cheaply cynical.” “Well. what modern gir: would go on acing her duty the way you do, and vake it out in waiting for a fairy prince to ride up in a Rolls with a fairy godmother?” “I don't wait! Id like it, but I know things like that don’t happen. And you have to do your duty. Ev- erybody does.” M ORGAN laughed. = “No, they don’t. As a matter of fact you could marry what you want.

She dropped her brush, yawning and stretching like a kitten in the warmth of the spring day. “Morgan, give me that vest, there’s a button loose.” “Nonsense, you do enough sew ing.’ “I like doing manual things, it’s all I inherited from Daddy.” “All? You have more talents than any sir’ 1 ever met.” His voice was warmer than he knew. “Singing, playing, languages, painting—”" “But | can’t pick locks. Morgan, be a Boy Scout for me as well as Uncle William, your heart’s de light. Come up garret and get intoa trunk for me. You know you love attics. It’s part of your childish in- nocent tastes.” “Burglary? What's inside—some thing Miss Ella considers holy?” “No, merely—or 1 hope—some dresses that belonged to my mother.
