MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1936. Golden Margaret CWiddemer SYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning, with Morgan Black’s help, has found her brother Owen, and likewise her dead mother’s sister, Josephine. Owen ts a likable young man of the world quite unlike anyone tn Iris’ limited circle; Aunt Josephine is Phina Weatherley, the most sa~ mous couturiere in America. And Morgan resents the fact that Phina intends to take Iris away from her simple, gentle Uncle Will and Aunt Ella, and place her in the sophis- ticated world where Morgan feels she does not belong. Chapter 15 MAL PROSPAL apekees me,” Ella Lanning sald in a detached voice. “I did not know anyone was here. It is Jo- sephine Ross, | think?” She passed between the two en grossed people as if Josephine were not there. “Your tea, Will.” and she would have gone out again in ber quiet, automatic way if Phina bad not reached out a hand and stopped her, “Let me pass, please,” Aunt Ella said, still in her quiet voice. But Josephine held the thin little wrist. “You'll look at me and you'll lis- ten to me, Ella Lanning, you that smashed everything in four lives because you had a complex on one lazy brother,” sae said. Ella stood and looked down at Josephine’s white, strong hand on her wrist as if it were a speck of soot fallen on it. “lL can’t discuss things with you that you don’t understand, Jose- phine. Lawrence was a genius. That came before everything,” she said, and would have moved away. “Do you think I'd try to convince a fanatic?” said Josephine with ap edge of contempt on her voice. “That's not what you're to listen to. It’s this: When | went off, 1 said something to myself, Ella Lanning, and as long as I'm here, I'll say it to you. “1 said to myself that you'd broken my sister’s heart and kept me from believing in men or love any more, because the grand Lap nings that were geniuses and aristo crats were too good for us. And | said that some day I'd come back here with everything they'd ever had and more. “I'm a famous, successful woman now. But there’s more, and I'll come back and show it to you. Perhaps I'll help you out with a little money if you ask politely. ‘That's all, now you can go. I'll be back when I've got everything, and it won't be long now.” She released Miss Ella's wrist. “You are quite through. Will? If not, I'll come back later,” Ella sald, taking no notice of anything Phina had said. Phina might have been a scolding servant-maid. She went quietly out without the tray, smoothing down her cuff where » Phina had rumpled it. “Josie, my dear, you shouldn't talk to Ella that way. Just one of your old storms,” said Uncle Will. To Iris, young as she was, It was as if she weré watching the third act of a play whose second act had been played years before. They had all taken up their rdles where they had dropped them when they were young. But as she stood there half be hind the door, stil! forgotten and unheard, Phina suddenly nged again from the furious woman she had been to the smooth and capable lady tris had seen first, and sat down inthe chair by the bed. “Very well, Will. It’s {diotic to lage one’s temper. but rather pleas ant. Now let's talk about the thing 1 game for.” RIS, limp from the brushing wings of the storm, moved unseen from the doorway. Owen was no longer with Morgan in the small room at the siairhead. Morgan was sitting there alone with a moody face. He rose and came to her impetuously. “So you're going to let them sell it to him?” Morgan demanded with a darkening face. “Morgan, bow can you?” Iris pro- tested. It did seem to her that one scene was enough. “You talk almost as if you hated me.” “Hate you?" Morgan said passion- ately. “That's just the trouble, | wish I did bate you. Here, we might as well have it out.” He drew her into the queer little jing aint” the doors, and put a hand on her silk-sleeved arm. His force was more | than the physical hold. She had been ; poised to escape, but she found her- self meekly waiting. | “I came here,” he went on, “<fter | going through an experience—never mind what happened. 1 wasn’t to blame. But the girl I'd believed in, had thought honestly loving—she threw me over. My friends, that J | thought had liked me for myself, nearly all walked out on me. | said good-by to the only two people who did care, and walked out.... “I came here, finally. 1 didn’t be- |, lieve in anything or anybody, any | 4), more. Well, | found Uncle Will— | ihe and you. Honest, innocent, unselfish | e people who would rather give than take. I got to believing in things again. “And by the time I was that far I | found | was in love with you. Iris, if you'll stay here and marry me you ! won't ever have to dress badly or go without normal little pleasures. Ul spend my life trying to make j you happy. I love you. I—1 need you. You're my: faith in girls. Stay here. Marry me.” She stared up at his dayg, excited face. She had grown to care for Morgan, to be grateful to him for the way he had stood by them through trouble. But—marry him? Marry this strange moody man who terrified her sometimes, whom she had grown to care for without think- whether it was brotherly or what? What she found to answer sounded inadequate. oe never thought about any of | tha i “Think then, Iris—darling Iris!” | But before she could say more, before she had time to more than | move away from him, Phina’s taut | tailor-made figure stood at the door. “Your uncle wants to speak to | you, my dear,” she said; and the | Cl moment was over which might have made Iris yield. i Yo Uncle Will spoke quietly. ' “Your aunt and | have been Cis- cussing your future, dear,” he said. She wants you to go with her. I have no right to influence your de- cision. Decide what is best and hap piest for yourself. Both of us will always love you just the same.” | py jeu ico! Cu pic toh pe Lo adi ‘ ( | i ' ‘lyn UNT Josephine, who had done j Pi everything possible to influence Iris’s decision, waited like a sen tinel. Owen had reappeared and sat motionless by the window, as honor- ably neutral as Uncle Will, but his eager face spoke for him. Iris stood silent for a long two minutes, “Which is it, Iris?” Owen said eagerly. “Oh, Uncle Will!” She ran over to the bed and threw her arms tight round his sagging shoulders. “If you say so I'll stay “But what do want to do, dear?” “Owen's my own brother,” she said pleadingly. “And—1 would like some of the pleasures and palaces.” She looked at him with awe; she had just seen bim going through the sort of scene one doesn’t associate with one’s elders. “But ff you want me—if you need me, dear—I'll stay.” He shook his head. “No. You're Di: | Lo Jan Le Ci ; Chicago game ‘league last year and the | the dians Cards open the 'MAJOR LEAGUES WILL OPEN 1936 SEASON TUESDAY | HIGHLIGHTS WILL BE CARD.!

Her foot was on the stair to fol- low Phina to her bedroom on the ; third floor, when Morgan, still { standing in the small room at the stairhead, caught her wrist. “Listen to me, Iris,” he said pas- sionately. “I'm not talking about myself now, I'm not being selfish.
