FRIDAY, MAY 22 igc6. rey SYNOPSIS: Rupert Joris was drunk when he married Hope—and he only did it because Elinor Flem- ing jilted him on account of his drinking. But when Rupert finds that his friends insist the marriage will not last. he grows stubborn, gives Hope a $5,000 check, asks her to overlook the fact that he had suggested. an annulment, and tells her to'go to New York in the morn- ing to buy herself the clothes she needs. Dirk. Rupert’s younger brother. has met Hope under pe- cullar ‘circumstances before the marriage ; he does not know wheth- er to be glad or sorry of Rupert's decision, He is talking with her about the old and prominent Joris family. Chapter 15 JEWELS—RETURNED OPE spelled out the motto. “Hilariter. ‘Merrily.’ I like that, too. ... Is that this house?” “As it used to be,” said Dirk. “You see Hani ris wanted to do some thing big, so he copied the town-hall back home, and called the place ‘Schlecterhorstveldt.’ ” “Big enough!” she smiled. “Too big for English Admiral Lowrie, when he married a Joris and became head of the family. He didn’t like Dutch things anyhow, so when a fire destroyed part of the castle he rebuilt it ... in good colo Bial fashion, Gothic towers and a colonial wing. Wé're am awful hodge- Podge, inside agjd out. Your room now ... it has all the’ Dilich furni- ture that’s left iif'the hdugé. The old kas...” “The kas?” : “That old patted wardrobe is a kas. There were kasten in all the bedrooms. Almost everything was Dutch to start with. But the genera tions came and went, throwing out, bringing in. That mantel there, for instance, is Italian. And the tapes- tries in the hall are French. And the drawing-room, you may have no- ticed, is all Chinese Chippendale. “The only generation that hasn’t changed something is mine and Ru- pert’s. All we've done is shut up most of the rooms. It took a platoon of servants to run the place. Some where around here,” pointing to the colonial wing, “there used to be a secret stair.” “A secret stair?” Dirk nodded. “Some canny old Joris built it, either to escape from his intimates, or to let them in. It wasn’t discovered by his descen- dants until the fire, and then Ad- miral Lowrie tore it out in shocked surprise. But he did something much worse when he built the wing.” “It's all beautiful,” said Hope. “It looks as if there might have been a moat and a draw-bridge once, and a dungeon and a keep.” “A dungeon, at any rate,” Dirk an- swered. “We call it a basement. I'll show it all to you some day, the old ballroom, and the Dutch chapel . . . and the very top of the tower where they used to watch for the boats. It will take some climbing.” She was looking at another crest, @ shield, a hand that held a broken sword. She read the Latin words. “My shield is scarred.” She closed the book. Presently she said, “That's the motto | choose.” Dirk said, “Can't 1 sell you Mer- rily? Or Favorable Winds? They suit you better.” “No, they suit you. My shield is scarred.” She rose, the book in her arms, “I'm taking it upstairs. May 1?’ “Of course. Aren’t you... aren't you a Joris, too “Perhaps, Thi read it. It's..3§ to.” Dirk went upstairs with her, car- rying the book. He was disappointed. He had thought they would have the evening tugether. At her door he said, : “Don't forget lunch. The Lawyers’ Club.” He gave her the address. She would remember, she told him, and they said good night. When the door was closed she laid the book on the table beside the bed. ‘Fhe bed had been turned down, and one of her own nightgowns folded on the pillow. After a moment she moved noiselessly to the door be tween the two rooms, and pressing her cheek against it, listened. There was a sound now and then of papers stirring, and once a sharp noise as if Rupert were knocking out his pipe. She stole back, and moving the lamp, settled herself in the big gild- ed chair, the “History of the Joris Family” propped against the table. She began to read the fine, uneven print. Reading, she fell asleep, and woke when the great clock in the hall was striking midnight. She rose then, yhy 1 want to hbig tolixeup INDIA’S INTEREST IN U. S.

De met Hope™at one o'clock at the Lawyers’ Club. She had at tended to her deposit at the bank and had already done a bit of shop- ping. Dirk was conscious that the black dress looked somehow different, less demure—saw that the change in it was due to the hat, a rakish scrap with a curling feather. “Stunning,” he said. She sparkled. “Look under the table.” He looked, and as he did not come up at once, “My shoes!” she explained. “Oh, your shoes! I should say.” He came up then to find the waiter at grave attention. Joris offices a few doors away. Grave and dignified quarters that had once commanded a view of lower Manhat- tan and the Battery, but that now were hemmed in by new growths of steel and stone. Amid the dingy comfort of the Joris of- fices, something rooted and secure. The presence of Judge Blaise Joris, Dirk’s and Rupert's father, seemed still to pervade the place, as the light of a master star continues to fall on the earth long after the star has passed. Hope met Sanford Joris, and the members of the Joris staff, lingered in Rupert’s private sanctum. She was interested in his secretary—effi- cient, thirty-odd—in the books on his glassed-in shelves, in the street below his window. Dirk finally enticed her forth to look at his own office, and the morn- ing paper which lay on his desk. He had folded the paper at the ac- count of the wedding. It was short, a mere announcement, and she read it quickly. Dirk explained that Connolly had mislaid some of the data. “Your father’s name, for one thing, and the city you hail from. Or it may be Connolly doesn’t know the items that belong in the society col- umns. At any rate, I have them, and tomorrow’s issue .. .” She turned to him, a little pale. “Please don’t. One account is enough.” “1 think so, too,” Dirk answered. She had seemed slightly relieved on reading the notice, grateful appar- ently for its brevity. There would be no second account if she did not wish it. He went with her to the elevator. “So you're going shopping?” She answered thoughtfully, “What color does he like—for eve- ning, | mean?” Dirk hardly knew Rupert’s pref- erence in colors, and mentioned his own. “White,” he said. It might be Rupert's color, at that, since Elinor so often wore it. He re- flected that a box had come for Ru- pert that morning, a small, precious- looking box. He himself had signed for it, and carried it up to Rupert’s room, Rupert having already left for White Plains. He dreaded the moment when Ru- pert should find the box, dreaded it for Hope. She with her anxiety as to Rupert’s choice in colors! “White,” he said again, for after all it mattered greatly to himself what she should wear. “White, and for daytime, brown—that sort of rusty brown.” into the elevator, and smiling a good- by, disappeared. UPERT found the box on his ar- rival home. It contained the jewels he had given Elinor during the six years of their engagement. He opened it, looking at the strand of pearls that had been his mother’s, the twin bracelets he had bought at Cartier’s, the brooch, the ring, the necklace. ... Their very touch, he had thought, would be like touching the flesh of Elinor. He would have thought, too, that, receiving this box from her, he would have sat down to an evening’s steady drinking. He looked at his watch. Hope would be in her room, he reflected. He had telephoned her two hours before that he would not be home before eight, that she was to have dinner without him, and be dressed for their evening together. She was dressing now, Nora assisting her. He had met Nora going to her room on his arrival. Rupert lifted out the strand of his mother’s pearls, and, opening a small, inner drawer of his desk, dropped them within. Then, the box of jewels in his hand, he knocked on the door of Hope’s room.
