Need she be so urgent? + “It won't be hard,” he answered. “She was always mentioning Isa- bel, always sceming a little, anxious about her. Dirk had sometimes wor- dered why. Isabel was so entirely capable of looking out for herself. Tonight there dawned on him with a humorous sense of his own stu- Pidity the fact that Elinor, having relinquished the -oris name, would said Driving alone through the rain Dirk dealt with the idea of Isabel asa wife, put it from him, put from him, indecd, the idea of marriage, of taki any woman into Lowrie | le his brother was there. | Dirk lifted the Chowdhury The thought, In the light of what} Repert would be tike without Plinor, without the hope of Elinor, was impossible. Any wife of his—Dirk’s —would have to live under the same roof with Rupert. Elinor must know this. What she did not know, perhaps, was what she had done to Rupert. Dirk could not bear to think of the future for either Rupert or him- If. They had never been close, had never been companions in any sense. Always there had been some separating barrier of temperament, greater than the ten years differ- ences in their ages; but his life must go on in the shadow of Rupert’s indefinitely now. A year ago last June, just home from college, he had promised his father that he would not leave Ru- pert or Lowrie Wood. “Not yntil Rupert and Elinor are married. at any rate. He ought not to pe alone,” father had said. And Dirk had promised. So, close or not, they would stay | together. I AD Rupert ever been close to any one, Dirk wondered, driving through the rain. To their mother who had died when the elder boy was twelve? Perhaps. Had he even been close to Elinor? Had not Elinor failed to warm her- self fully at that dark fire, burning though it must have been for her alone? Elinor was afraid. She was afraid of that dark fire that was Rupert, that fire that had gone a little mad this last year. Others were afraid of Rupert, too. Underlings in Manhattan where the Jorises had their offices, small poli- ticians here in the villa: nen who owed their jobs to his influence, or whose secrets he knew. At home the servants feared him. Even their father had seemed at times afraid of Rupert, of the things Rupert might do. And he—Dirk—had he ever been | close to any one? Now and then to his father who, in his way, was al- most as inaccessible as Rupert. And perhaps (Dirk smiled) to Genevieve, | his one-time nursery-governess, who psy Weatheciys S By MARGARET BELL HOUWSTO! was so patient and so pretty. S NS There, too, was his first teacher, SPOR with cheeks like red apples, and hu- | morous wrinkles around her brown bright eyes. She always spelled his | name with a “c”—Dirck. ! And, of course, there had been pals ; at college, and girls. There had been, and still was, Isabel. That he had never said a word of love to Isabel didn’t mean that they weren't close. And yet—close. Certainly the word must imply more than he had ever been to any one. Perhaps he was like his father. Like Rupert. ... Poor Rupert. Long engagements were the dickens. IRK rode through Yonkers into ; Manhattan, crossed the Hudson [ River by way of the George Wash- ington bridge. He had promised Isa- | bel and her guest, Natalie Page, to meet them at some foolish tented- show on the Jersey side. Natalie was a bubbling person, just out ot boarding-school, keen for | adventure. She was leaving tomor- row, and tonight was her last chance to interview Madame Chowdhury, a Hindu prophetess travcling with the show. Dirk felt out of the mood for Natalie and Madame Chowdhury. Freddy Nevin would be with the girls, plac t would be easy enough with the rain and the scant directions he flap of Cnowdhury’s tent. had received from Isabel. Afterwards Dirk was to remember this impulse, to reflect how different things might have been if he had obeyed it, and turned back. He rode on, remembering that he had promised Isabel, remembering the dance that they must fare to later. F The boat-lights beneath the bridge seemed to waver, to run liquid in the drizzle, but the wheels and tow- ers of the Palisades Amusement Park rose a jeweled filigree against the dark. By that landmark Dirk found the pitched tents which Isabel had so sketchily described. He parked his car among the few that like his own had braved the storm, and joined the damp and rather life- less crowd. The rain had stopped now, but the tents looked soaked and be draggled. A merry-go-round revolved torpidly, its mtsic a mere dreary whine. Yet the animals in their cages. the smells of peanuts and pop- corn, the voices of the barkers, woke memories in Dirk, stirring memories of old Madison Square Garden, and the circuses to which he and Gene- vieve used to go. Such lions, such panthers and tigers—these were mere kittens be- Je them; elephants swinging pro- digious trunks, elephants as big in retrospect as the main tent yonder; impressive hippopotamuses, and po nies with rosettes on their tails. Ladies flying through burning hoops. Here was Madame Chowdhury’s tent, its flap emblazoned with the signs of the Zodiac. It stood with no barker before it, silent and apparent- ly deserted, the rain dribbling from its eaves. Dirk lifted the flap, think- ing that he might find Isabel and the others behind it, though if Isabel arrived before him at a tryst it would be the first time. The inside of the tent was bare, lit only by a lamp burning on a low table. A commodious lady in a soiled white robe and turban sat at the table playing what looked like soli- taire. She turned a dark, inquiring face on Dirk, and rose. (Copyright, 1 Dirk throws a rose to a circus lady, tomorrow. Peninsular & Occidental Steamship Company Erfective December 22nd, 1935. S. S.
