FRIDAY, MAY 8, i936. SYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning’s great success with the Park Avenue-Long Island set is menaced. Her enemy, Georgia Blair, just as [ris ts abou to appear in the dowager Mrs. Mor- gan’s famous charity revue, accuses Iris of having falsified her mother’s ancestry. Iris has taken her Aunt Phina’s word for certain facts, since she had been kept ignorant 0) the whole matter by her Aunt Ella until recently. To maintain her position, Iris must prove this to Mrs. Morgan. She is telephoning Morgan Black, at home in Pennsylvania. Chapter 37. MORGAN’S SHARE NiCreANs voice, deep, beautiful, a little roughened, came over the wire like a remembrance of everything peaceful and safe and lost. “Well, Iris, my dear, how’s every. thing?” “To begin with, you were right and I was wrong. I wasn’t wise enough for the game I was playing. Morgan—is it a private wire?” “Safe as churches.” “Morgan—Phina and my mother, it seems, were immigrant girls from Ireland. Don’t misunderstand. I'm Prouder of Mother than if she'd been a queen, making good as she did. I’m proud of Phina, too; but she made up a crazy story about being a Southerner with an aristocratic Civil War background. I'd never Hved with anybody who made up things for their own advantage. I can see now I was dumber than twenty rabbits.” There was a little affectionate laugh at the other end of the wire. “I was singi#g in a concert that was all tied’ ap with social stuff and getting into the Junior League. And one of the girls made things seem so that I'd been lying right through.” * “You poor baby. Want me to come over and kill her?” “I want you to come over and tell Mrs. Morgan that 1 honestly didn’t know anything about Mother and Phina.” There was a long silence at the other end of the telephone. Then: “Tell whom, did you say?” “Mrs. Morgan—Mrs. James Ogden Morgan. She's been so good to me, and I like her so. Come to the Com- munity House here—” Iris’s voice grew sharp with terror, “for if you don’t, before seven tonight—” “1 know. I understand. You're asking a good deal more of me than you can tell, Iris. But I won't fail you. Good-bye.” He hung up. Camilla touched her. “Come, you can’t stay here, Iris. Shall I drive you home?” “No, no—I couldn’t go home. I don’t want to see Aunt Phina or anybody till it's over. And Allan might go there to find me. Let me stay here.” “No. Get hold of yourself.” Camil- la put a heavy coat around her. “I'll drive you back to my place; there’s nobody there but the ser- vants. Mother's away, you know.” She put her arm through Iris’s and drew her out through a basement door and to her own runabout. “Camilla, be honest with me. What did people think?” “Everybody always knew Phina was climbing. Of course, Owen could go anywhere”—a twitch of pain came over Camilla’s face—“but he sobbing. For herself, she lay on her back on the bed and tried not to follow the hours. Morgan was at West Philadelphia. ... He was near Penn Station. About that time she turned over and began to cry into Mrs. Wendell’s deep soft pillows; tears that, though she did not know it, kept her from breaking down. She cried and she prayed. At seven a maid brought a tray of food. She sat up and made herself eat something. By the time she was dressed and made up again, Camil- la’s knock sounded at the door. She would be on around eight—perhaps eight-thirty, amateur things were always late. Morgan would be in New York by now. She must stop’ thinking of Morgan. It was like Sheridan’s Ride. She made herself laugh shaki- ly, and went out and met tall, steady ; Camilla. eee Morgan Black, having been told at the Community House by a terri- ! fied maid that Mrs. Morgan was rest- ing at her own home, drove there. He compressed his lips, then walked straight through the garden and in at a half-hidden side door, and up the stairs to the half-shut door of a book-lined room. Mrs. Morgan was sitting, as he had thought she would be, behind the old-fashioned ornate walnut kneehole desk. Z RANDMOTHER,” he said. He was shocked to see her throw up her head, turn white and half col- lapse in her chair. He ran over and put his arms around her. “Dear, what is it? Why~are you so upset? I ought to have explained, but I thought it was easier to come—” “Jim. We thought you were dead. You pretended you were dead—” “Granny, I’m terribly sorry. I | never pretended to be dead. I wrote you I was going abroad for a couple of years, and that I wouldn't write again for a long time. By an impulse | 1 landed in Persia, a little place near Philadelphia, and stayed there be- cause I was happy there, for the first time in a good many years—” “Are you the man named Black Iris Lanning sent for?” Then she re- verted to the more pressing thing. “They found a body—with an en- velope addressed to you inside the bill-fold pocket—” “Good heavens! What a coward you must have thought me. Wait, 1 remember ... a poor devil who begged me for money to save him from suicide. I thought he was lay- ing it on thick. I gave him some, and ff SPORTS BY JOVE : FOXXSTARSAS RED SOX WIN; CUBS WHIP BEES ice | YANKEES DOWN BROWNS; CARDINALS VICTORS OVER) { PHILLIES; GIANTS LOSE TO PIRATES {Speelal to The Citizen) NEW YORK, May 8.—The! m Red Sox went to victory] fever the St. Louis Browns yes- ‘terday, 9 to 6.

I'd seen enough papers.” “1 know, darling.” The sharp clear voice was gentle and understanding. , “We thought you’d given away every cent, and then...” She stopped and put him back, to | never would.

You were Owen's sister Owen's nothing to do with it now; you've been splendid to me—I love you. Iris, you Wave tol’tell<me the truth. Is what teorgid.said about Owen caring for the Silverwheels girl—true?” “It's true that Owef did love Sigrid Swenson, but it’s broken off and she’s gone abroad. Oh, you're so splendid, Camilla, Owen must love you.” Camilla made no answer to that. After a silence, she said: “Did you ever hear of my father, old Johnny Wendell? They said he was made of iron. I've always hated being like him—Mother always used it as a reproach. But I’m beginning to think it’s not bad. I'm not breaking stuff, I find—and I'm rather glad. I wish I remembered him.” Presently they had arrived, and Camilla left Iris in a distant, silent bedroom. Her own room was next look at him. “Oh, darling, how well and strong you look. How glad your mother would have been. Darling, you must come back now, and stay. We've rented Woodlands—Allan and I—to the Ross woman for a year. But you'll come back, you'll stay here with me till the lease is up.” He shook his head. “I’m not far! off, dear, and perhaps you might stay with me part of the time. But I've found my niche. I’m practicing ! law at a Pennsylvania county seat— doing it darn well, if you ask me? Living with the old Lannings, Iris's aunt and uncle—the finest people, except my Granny, the Lord ever made. In partnership with Uncle Will Lanning.” He was talking on enthusiastically | - - He interrupted himself. “But, Granny, let’s get at what I came over about.” He pulled up a chair. “Iris telephoned me in a great state. It seems Georgia has been doing some dirty work at the cross- roads.” He summed up what Iris ‘had said. “So I came straight over to see about it.” His grandmother could not help! saying, “You'd do for Iris what you wouldn't do for me.” He nodded shamefacedly. “I'd have come, not very long from now, anyhow. I didn’t want to—yet—don’t ask me to go into it. But—I’m not : very lucky about girls, I guess. I— wanted Iris. (Copyright, 1933-36, Margaret Widdemer) Triumph, tomorrow, is a little door.
