TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 1936. Golden by SYNOPSIS: Morgan Black and ris Lanning have formed a com- radeship; it has developed into more than comradeship for Morgan. He is boarding with Iris’ Aunt Ella, helping Irie’ Uncle William in his law practise to fill time and amuse himself, and on the side he ts trying to find iris’ brother Owen the very existence of whom Miss Ella has kept from the girl until recently. Morgan has gone to Kay Oliver's cocktail party; Iris is at home be- cause she has nothing fit to wear. The Lannings are poor, and are also alaves to the memory of Iris’ father, whom Miss Ella considers to have deen a great genius. Chapter 10 LETTER FROM OWEN K* was warm and cheerful and friendly. She was honestly en- chanted with the idea that she was giving a cocktail party; that she had on a brand-new maroon sheer with puffed sleeves and a lace tle, all tucked to look like waffles; that she had {ost five pounds this last week (she was the stocky kind that has to watch pounds); that her brown hair was curled in three rows of tight little smart ringlets. and that Morgan Black had come to the party which could be heard yell- ing happily within the lacedraped windows of the Olivers’ handsome semi-detached stone house. “I tried to drag her, but she had some work to do,” Morgan said. “She said she could have come ff it had been next week.” “I'll ask her to the very next one, then,” said Kay. her eyes crinkling up with the pleasure of doing some thing nice. You could do worse, if you were a simple honest small-town lad, than go after Kay Oliver. Morgan thoughc disinterestedly. You would always be sure of bounding physical good-nature, of kindness and effi ciency, cheerful obvious jokes told with a burst of laughter, of—every: thing. And perhaps that blunt friendli ness, and that nice friendly obvious ness weren't the worst things in| the world for that lucky small-town | lad to have ahead of him. He slipped his arm through the one Kay held | out to him and went inside and helped with the yelling. There was a friendly rough-house going on inside. As one of the other men grabbed him—it was leapfrog. something to do with. forfeits or some other parlor game, he gath ered — a letter dropped from his pocket. He had stopped for mail at the post office, and then forgotten all about it. As he stooped to pick it up the name across the back caught his eye. “Here, let me out of this,” he said. “Got to read a letter.” RIS went briskly home. her sing: ing lesson once given. She was a little tired. But the men would be coming in soon. She would hear Morgan's quick light step. and Uncle Will’s heavier one, on the creaking porch. She sprang up, smiling a little at being so clever as to hear from ber seat in the dining-room window; she ran out to the kitchen, where the kettle was boiling, and every- thing set ready for tea: sliced lemon, teapot, sugar, cream, and thin bread and butter. She had been doing this for a month or two now. Morgan liked It, and Uncle William, tired from the day's work, was picked up by it; it made easy their two hours’ wait for seven-thirty dinner, which Aunt Ella still kept to because Iris’s fa ther had preferred tt. She had the big defaced beautiful black japanned tray on a corner of he tabla by the time the men were with her. Before Uncle William could bend to kiss her, Morgan had her by the hands. “Iris, I've found him!” She did not need to ask whom. What she asked was “When? Where?” Uncle William looked dispirited. He did not speak. “Your brother wrote me; I picked up the letter at the post office as | came by!” Morgan dropped it in her lap. She stood nearer to the window to get the fading light, and bent her tossed dusky head above it. Her hands shook so she could scarcely hold the paper. The writing and stationery were correct. He was no tramp, at least Owen Lanning and his aunt, Miss Ross, would meet they hoped, Iris, at the Persia Ho tel, at five-thirty on the day they received this. That was all. “Am | to go?” was all she could find to say. now it had happened. It did not seem real. “Yes, dear, you must go,” her uncle answered, and Morgan was putting her into her heavy rough coat and pulling ber Mr. Black and, | ain over her flare of dusky hair, even putting her gloves on. Both men were oddly quiet. She was fright ened, and yet more excited than she had ever been in her life. H® first impression was of the velvets and tapestries. of the “private suite” of the hotel. She had never been inside it before. Her second was of a tall impressive slim woman rising with manner from a chair in the background; and then before her dizzying eyes a young man was coming to meet her, tak- ing her hands in his—hands as cold, as excited as her own. For a moment she did not dare look at him. And then, lifting her eyes, it was all right, for what she saw might have been the kind, wise Hargaret CWiddemer There was a friendl, rough-house inside. face of Uncle Will a generation younger. The same rather long aquiline olive face, the same large black- pupiled gray eyes with thick lashes thai all the Lannings had; a nar- rowly-built, middle-sized man like Uncle Will, but with a quick youth- ful suppleness and noticeable grace of movement under the perfectly tailored blue serge. There was something, she thought at first, a little hard tn his young tired face. But he was kind when he smiled. Here was a brother with whom she would be safe. “Oh,” she said, “you are Owen.” “Yes,” said the voice, which ex- cept for its younger intonations might have been her uncle’s, slow and reflective and steady. “I'm Owen.” They regarded each other a mo- ment longer, trusting and liking what they saw. Then Iris impul- sively kissed him. He was her brother! “This is Aunt Josephine,” he said, turning her to the rigid handsome smiling lady making conversation with Morgan. Iris saw, as they came close, someone she did not feel quite at ease with, but instinctively wanted to live up to. A rather handsome woman whose figure would have been girlishly perfect but for a stiff- ness which bespoke dieting rather than natural slimness. Her hair, dark red by nature or art, was waved and cut as perfectly as a wax head in a window. t, 1933-36, Margaret Widdemer) béret down | Iris learns, tomorrow, how Owen makes a living. ee 1" Today seeeec 1788 en.
