PAGE FOUK Golden Rain SYNOPSIS: Through Morgan Black, boarder in her Aunt Ella’s decaying old mansion, Jris Lan- ning has found her Lrother Owen and her Aunt Phina. Iris believed her brother dead. But in her hap- piness at seeing that Owen isa fine chap, and that her Aunt Phina ts the best known couturiére in Amer- ica, Iris resents a ittle Morgan’s attitude. He seems to fear that Iris will be removed from her simple and appropriate setting. and placed 4m artificial surroundings less suit- able, Aunt Phina ts offering lrisa luzurious home in New York. Chapter 14. STRONG WORDS *y7OU would spend your winters with us in our Park Avenue apartment, and the summers either on Long Island or traveling,” Phina ‘went on, “I can give you everything you should have, and | will With me, you should make the sort of marriage that is right for you.” Owen’s words had almost made her say an eager yes; but Phina’s were so detached and cool that something in her shivered away for moment. The orchestra was play- ing a tripping dance of Delibes’; the chatter of groups around them, the hurry of waiters, went on. After all, to go away from people who were fond of her... Phina didn’t gay anything about love. “Do you want me—because you —like me?” Iris s stumbling a Uttle. Phina smiled. “You foolish child, who wouldn't?” “It’s wonderful—it’s like a fairy- tale,” she said. “But I can’t say yes this minute. May 1 tell you tomorrow?” “Of course you may,” Phina said. But her air said that it was set- tled. “I have to telephone New York now,” she added. “Wait for me in the lobby, when you finish.” “She keeps the shop tied to a tele- phone wire,” said Owen. “Never a detail gets out from under Phina’s band.” “he’s wonderful—and isn’t she generous!” Owen did not answer for a mo ment. Then with a visible effort. he begun to talk. “She is woncerful. And she is generous. But she never gives with- out some prospect of return. I'm being disloyal to her, but you’re my own sister. I want you because you're young and kind and human and belong to me. Phina has some reason, I’m afraid, beyond all that— it may be merely to pay off Aunt Ella, whom she has never forgiven and never will. Come, anyhow, Iris. I need you like the devil! But don't take Phina for a romantic or you'll be disappointed.” “Why.” said Iris, wide-eyed, “if there’s something 1 could do for her to pay her back, I'd feel bet- ter about going! It’s such a lot to take!” Owen said no more. HEN she returned home she ran upstairs, happy, excited, to show herself. “Isn't my hair nice this way? The rings are kept in shape with bril- Hantine so they ‘t come,out! § don't look like a whisk-broom! And see my shoes—-and my nails!” She showed the pointed pink-tipped fin gers, the smart suéde shoes and gloves, the dusky hair thinned and shaped and polished, outlining her living, lovely young head. “Nothing anybody could do to it would make anything but pretty,” said Uncle William. “I sup pose that’s the way girls should look aow.” “She’s been taking you up into an exceedingly high mountain,” Morgan said bitterly from the little table hy the window where he had been at work ft was too much, on top of this radiant, wonderful day! “It’s not your affair as far as I can see,” Iris told him with more of anger than she had shown since their first days together. Before he could answer there was arap on the half-open bedroom door. “May we come in?” said Aunt Phina’s cool loud voice. Uncle Will sat up, a light on his face that transformed him for the Moment into a young man. “Josie, my dear!” He held his hands out. There was no answering light on the face of the tall woman who came toward him. She smiled brightly. mechanically, as something told Iris she hac been doing for years. “I'm sorry to see you so ill,” she said conventionally. He stared up eagerly at the artt- ficially smooth face, the set smile. “Do you know, my dear, you look no older now than you did then? I sup pose”—his thin sensitive face flushed as she took his hand—“I Jook an old man to you.” “You look as if you'd ,life. Not greatly you had a hard . «+I came to talk to you about Iris.” “Ig Iris all you have te talk to me about, after all these years, Col- leen?” It had been a love-name. standing at the door brother and Morgan, knew that, and felt as if she were eavesdropping. But Uncle Will had forgotten everything but the fact that after twenty years he was seeing a wom- an he bad—Iris knew it now—never, in his gentle, romantic way stopped loving. Josephine Ross’s face broke up suddenly into convulsed lines. The smooth massaged youthfulness went; in its place came a haggard youth— she was like a ravaged girl. Her blunt-fingered capable hands wrenched themselves. Then she stiffened, steadied. She too had tor gotten her young people at the door. Iris turned, self-conscious those who were not self-conscious for themselves, and found that Owen and Morgan had gone. There was a small room at the stairhead, glassed in: half conservatory, half sewing room. She leaned her head back. Yes. They were there, with the doors closed; talking pleasantly enough, it seemed. That was all to the good anyway.... “And you can reproach me now!” Josephine was saying furiously, standing over the bed where Uncle Will lay, propped witb pillows, his thin cheeks flushed, his hands play- ing nervously with the edges of his gray dressing-gown. “You, that treated me as you did! You, that let your sister treat Jean and me the way she did!” “]_ wanted to marry you, Josie,” he said. “I loved you. I've never loved anybody else.” “And what good did that do? What did you do to prove it?” she de manded. “You asked me to marry you—you that were twice my age, with twice my knowledge of life. But we had to wait because your brother Lawrence was a genius, save the mark.” “And so my fine genius comes with you to the little house where Jean and 1 were working; young girls who asked nothing but to earn a living and be let alone, and the first 1 know he, that you had to help support because he was a genius—a genius,when he'd done nothing to show it at forty, walks off with my little sister to Phila- delphia and marries her. “He didn’t stop tor thoughts of duty. No, with all his good looks and his selfish charm and his clever talk and bis grand ways, he sweeps off little Jean who would always be Neve anything she was told. and love anybody for a kind word, the poor little pretty thing. And still you persuaded me to wait, and still I waited. “You were too well-bred and proper to marry me and let me go on working, and there wasn’t the money to support Lawrence and Jean and for your marrying too. You loved me, but your duty to every- body on God’s earth came before me—or your sister Ella and your brother Lawrence had you so cowed and hypnotized that you thought so.” Her voice had risen; it swept on like a flood. She came closer, and stood above the bed with clenched hands. “I even went to Philadelphia to work, so that your poverty- stricken fine family wouldn’t be sbamed by a well-brought-up girl earning an honest living—young af- fectionate fool | was!” “Josie, Josie, if you had only ex- plained some of this to me, long ago!” “Explained it to you! Didn't | say it and scream it for five years? But what could two girls do against three middle-aged people who were all set one way, and two of them selfish? For I'll say for you, Billy, you were nevef selfish for yourself, only for Lawrence.” He held out a thin hand. pushed it away. “Never mind.” She had gone back to her hard, smooth, English-ac- She all that, you and 1, and I suppose I should thank you. It was the hate of you and your sister Ella that drove me along. To where I’ve got. To where I'll be... .” She caught her breath. He sat up in bed and caught her hands. “Josie, Josie, I'm sorry. We were selfish—we were cruel. But—” She laughed suddenly, harshly, jerking her hands away. She seemed about to come closer to him, when Aunt Ella, carrying the five o’clock tray of tea brushed past denly still.
