ypsy Weather By MARGARET BELL HOUSTO: SYNOPSIS: Hope Joris, wife of Dirk's elder brother’ Rupert, has shut herself in her room and al- though obviously ill and in fear re- fuses to move or to admit that she feels badly Rupert ia ill of pneu- monia in the Adirondacks; Dirk has returned to Hope because Mar- tin, her chauffeur. heard a man’s voice in her room. And now Dirk, who just has talked with Hope, smelled the faint odor of cigarets athovgh Hope does not smoke. He is trying to pump Mary, a servant, without success. Chapter 28 SPANISH CIGARETS iy Gee felt no particular loyalty to Martin. “Wait till Mister Rupert comes back. She'll be right as anything. You'll see.” Dirk spoke to Mary about the heat. Bernard, who had charge of the furnace, must stoke it a bit more heartily. “Be rd’s doing all ke can, Mis- r Dirk. The tower-room's not ly cold. She can't get warm for ing. I've been thinking of get- ng an electric-stove. If she could fee the red glow of it. a Dirk approved the id ay,” he said, “what br rets does Mrs. Joris get her some.” “Now that I couldn’t tell you, ir.

No, sir, it’s not any ghost, not even Mister Rupert's illness, I think she’s grieving about her people.” “Her family, you mean... in Texas?” “If that’s where they are, sir, Have you noticed she never gets any letters? If it’s worry about her folks, and they won’t have anything to do with her, a doctor won't do any good.” Dirk reflected, when Mary had gone, that her diagnosis of Hope’s condition might be in a measure right. He remem'ered that Hope herself had told him that she was estranged from her family ... from her father, to be exact. He had thought little of it at the time, or since. More likely it was Hope herself who refused to write or to communt- cate, and was suffering the conse- quences of her own pride. [t might even be that she had not told them where she was, or that she had married, HE had probably not wanted them to know. She would prob- ably not forgive him if he tele graphed them now. Yet, even if the estrangement was not at the root of her illness, or in part to blame, he | would feel safer if her father were jh . or at least apprised of her con- I dition. The revolver was unloaded, Dirk discovered. ‘But she smok Dirk “Well, ye! I notice the odor now and then.

She likes the room. She's used to it. It’s next to Mister Rupert's room, and all his things. And she wants to be there when he comes home.

Would ye moind, sir, comin’ and gettin’ it, if ye want it?” Dirk went into Rupert’s room and found the revolver. It was unloaded. he discovered. Rupert, no doubt, had attended to that. Hope was not visi ble when he returned to her room. | Her dinner had been placed on a small table beside the lamp, and there was a light on in her dressing: room. He called out his errand to her. “I’m putting your cannon in the wall-pocket.” She thanked him, and he went | out, wishing he might have seen her aint jf qily for a moment. ‘3 telephoned first to Old Forge and talked with Dr. Graves who he ag; | knew would be there that night. Rupert was doing as well as they could hope, and Graves was return- ing in the morning. He would come at once, on arrival, to see Hope, This, Dirk felt, was imperative.
