THURSDAY, MAX Gypsy Weather By MARGARET BELL HOUSTON SYNOPSIS: Rupert Joris mar- ried Hope Devine on the rebound, after Elinor Fleming jilted him be- cause of his drinking. At first Ru- pert insisted on an annulment, and offered Hope $5,000 to permit it. But when he finds that his friends insist the marriage will not last he suddenly reverses himself. gives Hope the check and tells her she is to stay. Dirk, Rupert's younger brother. is delighted at the result. He and Hope met strangely, just before the hasty wedding. Chapter 1 HAPEY DAY IRK sat watching Hope. Sunday dinner, which had been usually am abstracted meal, was tonight en- livened by ber presence. She sat in the place where Elinor had so often sat, and she seemed gay and at ease. Dirk had supposed that this first appearance at the table would be an ordeal for her, that sitting op- posite Rupert would inevitably try her spirits. In this he had been mistaken. Ru- pert nimself seemed in rather good humor, although he was drinking less than usual. His presence ap- peared not to disturb Hope. She seemed conscious of him, though not in the way Dirk bad anticipated Laughing and talking with Dirk. it was plain that her smile was for Rupert, her swift dark glance, She had been driving with Dirk most of the afternoon. He had shown | her the village, and they had en. circled the beautiful mountain known as the Storm King, winding through woods still in their suminer green. Returning, they had gone for a stroll outside the walls of Lowrie, on the river-side, passing the tomb of that ancient Joris lying on the embankment. They had leaned together on the fron fence that, amid arbor vitae and | dwarf-cedars, encircled the grave. Dirk read the inscription in the bronze slab that covered it, carved beneath a fion's head: i Bless you, my frien, My curse on you Who touch the place | Iie. “Like said Hope. “The English, perhaps,” eed | Dirk. “You should read the Dutch one just beneath it. It alludes to hell fire as waiting for any one wiio dis turbs him before Judgment Day. Poor old great-great-great—I don't know just how great he was— Uncle Pieter! Why couldn't he have slept with the rest of his family in Sleepy Hollow ... or even inside his own wall?” “Perhaps he liked the river too well,” suggested Hope. “I'll bet he hates the railroad down there. You notice when they cut into the slope to build it they spared Uncle Pieter.” Hope said she didn’t blame them. She would have spared Uncle Pieter, too. “Well, there was some argument, 1 understood. But even corporations have their qualms. Uncle Pieter’s epitaph. ... Don’t go too near the edge there. The cedars hide it. You might go over.” “It wouldn't be much of a tumble,” discovered Hope. She had parted the cedars to look at the river, its far sapphire sweep and tranquil! boats. ‘They went down rock steps and strolled at its edge, facing a wind, faintly salty, coming in from the sea. ‘he wind died, and the sun went flown—deep down into the river, dyeing it vermilion. The sail-boats, moving into the arc of the sunset, Shakespeare’s epitaph,” /H when he went searching for her this morning, that Rupert had indeed thrown her out? He had meant to! find her, wherever the search might take him, but with the hope that she would say, “I have no friend but you... .” Rupert and Hope had risen. Dirk laid a hand on Hope’s chair, fol- lowed her from the room. Rupert spoke to him in the hall as Hope went into the library. “I've got to go over the papers of the Dunhaven case,” he said. “It’s coming up in White Plains tomor- row, and I'll be there all day. I’m wondering if you will mind tak- ee He glanced toward the library, and Dirk supplied the name with a smile. “Hope.” “1 wonder if you will mind taking her to lunch. It needn't be out of your way... say to the Lawyérs’ Club. She'll be at the tbauk tomor- row, and shopping.” No explanation of kis solicitude. No reference to his change of mood. “Glad to,” said Dirk. “Tomorrow evening,” suggested Rupert, “you might get Isabel and we'll go somewhere for dinner. I suppose there’s nothing at the the ater yet.” “There's the opening of ‘The Black Swan,” offered Dirk, “Ernest Webb's new play. Ernest sent Gage Seymour seats, and Elinor asked Isabel and me to have dinner with them, and go along. I'm not tied, however.” “I'd go.” Rupert auswere like Ernest.” He went upstairs, and Dirk joined Hope in the library. She was looking over the books, old, old volumes, some of them, bound in calf and morocco. Their shelves reached half- way to the ceiling. A fire burned on the hearth. and a bow! of chrysan- themums was on the table. There was the strange warm feel- ing of a woman in the house. Even the servants felt it, and had paid the involuntary homage of flowers and a fire. Or had Rupert ordered these? “You said, “Rupert's gone up. Had some pa- pers to go through.” He added, half-sitting against the table, watching her in her pale dress against the shadowy background of old books, 5 “He'll be out of town tomorrow. Says I may take you to lunch, and specifies the place.” “Where?” she asked with interest. “Lawyers’ Club, so that | won't run too far afield. Prosaic, but near the office. All right?” “Alr right,” she smiled. “And will you show me the office?” He promised, and carried to the couch a book she had extracted from the shelves. It was the “History of the Joris Family.” a huge and an- cient tome, bound in pigskin. He re- vered her taste, for few had shown the inélination to delve into its laby- rinth of fine, uneven print, its dull, old-fashioned prose.- She was looking, however, at the pictures. “Tell me about them,” she said. And Dirk sat down beside her, and told her what he knew, turning the yellow pages. There were square Dutch burgo masters, and their squarer wives. There was a duke in a black hat with ared plume. There was his duchess, wearing pearls and a gathered vel- vet gown. Rembrandt had painted glanced about, and Dirk became pointed flames. Presently everything was mauve and misty. Lights blossomed on the Jersey shore. ‘OPE, Dirk learned, was going to remain at Lowrie. Rupert had said so, had given her a check, and told her to buy herself proper clothes, the clothes his wife should ‘wear. All this she told him as they walked in the sunset. Clothes, she no doubt felt, were matters of importance to Rupert, for, coming home, she had changed her dress again, had put on this frock of embroidered muslin, with a dahlia from the piano at her waist. Her curls had a gloss as from much brushing, and she had rouged her Ups with a certain skill. What had passed between them, wondered Dick. The chances were that Rupert had meant to send the girl away; then, hearing how Elinor had predicted she would leave of her own accord, had accepted the challenge, and permitted her to stay. Dirk had relayed Elinor’s remark to Rupert with the suspicion that he would do just that. It was part of his own unreasoning efforts to protect Hope, to keep her in the house. Something dark and strange rankled in him. He was conscious of other feelings, of desires at war with his own efforts. Had he not been obscurely hoping, | them, and they hung in the dining- room. There was a crest, a three masted ship, sails unfurled, pen- nants flying. She paused at a woodcut of Jan Steen’s portrait of Croon Joris. Dirk wondered ff she’ 8aw the resem- blance to Rupert. She said nothing, and he turned the page. “Here’s the ancestor who built this house. Mynheer Hans Joris. Doesn't he look shrewd and twink- ling? Frightful old smuggler he was, but most respected. And here’s the “Onrust,” the Restless. A boat big enough to go on the ocean, first product of skilled labor on Manhat- tan Island. They say the phlegmatic Dutch actually cheered as she slid down the ways.” “Was Uncle Pieter there, do you suppose?” “No, Too early for Uncle Pieter. Did his grave wake your interest in the family?” “I shouldn’t wonder. His wanting to Iie out there all by himself.” She looked at the fire. “Some of us have to be alone. But not many of us want to be.” She was smiling now. Her eyes came back to the book. “Here's a crest,” she said. “A helmet in pro- file.” (Copyright, 1935, Margaret Belt Houston) Hope learns some curious family, history, tomorrow. = of the Works Progress Admin- Today’ S$ Birthdays Dr. Kathavias Blunt, ie dent of the Connecticut College for; Women, born in Philadelphia, 60 years, ago. istration, born 50; years gao.
