SYNOPSIS: Sally Warren, at- tractive, thoughtful society editor of the Warrenton Courier, be- comes secretly engaged to Terry Maynard, boyish blond aviator who has been promised a South American job. While Sally works, her pretty, headstrong younger sister, Tip, is thrown with Terry. Handsome, dark Philip Page re- turns to his boyhood home and buys the Courier as a strike starts in the Morris mill. He backs the workmen. Sally and Terry plana picnic to which Tip invites Philip. Chapter 14 Picnie At Clinton’s Mill UTWARDLY, it was a gay party that left for Clinton’s Mill in Terry’s old car that sultry Sunday afternoon. Clinton’s Mill had been a favorite picnicking spot before Crys- tal Lake was developed, further up the river. Now the place was almost deserted. The mill itself had not been used for years, and had fallen into picturesque decay. The mill pond was still deep.enough for swimming, and an old bath house, built in more prosperous days, was still useful. “Beat you in!” Sally cried, as they piled out of the car and raced for the bath house. Tip was first in the water, after all, because Sally's fair hair was thick and long, and had to be crowded into a cap. Terry was next, looking amaz- ingly tall and broad’in a bathing suit. Tip and Terry played at ducking | each other, and dived from an old spring board. Sally forgot all of them in the pure joy of being in the wate?. She began to swim lazily toward the dam. She did not notice Philip Page till he was abreast of her. “This is great,” called Philip. “I've shed years since 1 jumped into this old mud hole.” He did look younger, Sally thought. He was well built and surprisingly athletic for one who appeared so tall and slender. They swam with long, untiring strokes. At the dam, they climbed out and lay on the bank, resting in the sun. “Young Terry Maynard will hate me,” said Philip, “for taking you so far away.” “He won't miss me,” laughed Sally. “He likes to play with Tip in the water.” “I don’t like that. He should be jealous of you.” “That's silly. We've always played around together—Tip, and Terry and 1. He's been especially nice to Tip lately because I've asked him. She needs looking after.” “Isn't that a little dangerous? He doesn’t seem exactly cut out for a nurse-maid.” The idea made them both laugh. Tip Offers A Toast CLAP of thunder startled them. They had not noticed the dark clouds behind the mill. Now the sun vanished suddenly, and a wind sprang up and whipped the willows into fury. “Tip’s frightened of storms,” said Sally. “I'd better get her under cover.” 1 “Better look after yourself for) once,” said Philip. “She's nearer the bath house.” j Terry and Tip were waving to them and running for the bath house. | Philip and Sally were a good distance from the bath house, but a short swim | would take them to the mill. A jagged streak of lightning split the clouds. | “Let's try for the mill,” said Philip. “It's our best bet.” The water was calm, but the rain| broke quickly. Just as they got to the mill, a clap of thunder sounded | close to them, and lightning struck a large tree on the bank. | “Not so good—but | like the rain,” | shouted Sally, breathlessly, as they | clambered over some broken timbers to the solid part of the mill. Inside the mill was dry and dusty, haunted by the smell of grain. Sally | t leaned against a post and Philip| shook the rain from his curly hair. Suddenly a brilliant flash lit the whole | interior of the mill, and a thunder-! , clap made the timbers rattle. Sally j nervously. struek close. | “Sitdown here,” Philip urged, tak- ing Wer hand ing her toward : he tezsed. | answered Sally, “but 1 don’t like storms.” Th® lightning struck again, seemed to hit the mill whole structure jk flung an arm about Sa “Are you hurt, Sally? “It—almost got us that time,” said Sally faintly. i “It's over now, I think,” said Philip. “Lean against me for a moment.” The storm died away as rapidly as | it had come, retreating with distant mutters and rumble: | Sally drew away from Philip and stood up. She was very conscious of having touched him, and vaguely dis: turbed. “The sun's coming out already,” she said. “We'd better go and get dressed.” “Yes,” said Philip slowly, “we'd better go.” But he did not move for} several moments. | Terry and Tip met them half way down the road. They were dressed and had the picnic basket. Tip hailed them mockii “Everybody's gone but us! Hurr) and dress and let's have supper here on the mill porch.” She went up t . The Philip i That |} Philip. “As for you, you've behaved shamefully to me. I invite you to a picnic and you spend all your time with Sally.” “I can see how you've suffered,” retorted Philip. “Punish me any way you like—but don't deprive me of food.” “Then starved.” “We'll set out the eats,” said Terry, “but we don’t promise to save any- thing.” When Sally returned, looking cool and fresh in white linen, Tip, was pouring lemonade for Terry and hurry up,” said Tip. “We're Philip and flirting with both of them. , She had on slacks and mariner’s sweater, and darted about with fever+ ish gaiety. Terry was strangely silent, and awkward at handling things. Philip did his best to match Tip’s mood. Suddenly Tip lifted her cup of lemonade and whirled on them. “I've got a toast,” she cried, look- ing at Sally with bright eyes and flushed cheeks. “Here's to Sally and Terry—their engagement!” Philip lifted his cup and drank with her. Sally turned a bewildered look on Terry, who had grown red and embarrassed, and then on Tip, who stared back at her defiantly. “Here’s to their South American flight!” cried Tip. She drank the lemonade and crushed the cup. “Don’t look so solemn and stupid, you two. Everybody’s guessed your secret. Everybody’s happy!” She laughed. “Stop it,” said Terry suddenly. “Stop it, will you?” A Week To Decide T WAS an awkward mément for all of them. Terry’s:command had stopped Tip from laughing, but it had also put a constraint on the whole group. Sally came to the rescue. “Let's not talk about Terry and me any more,” she said quietly. “It’s pretty dull for the rest of you.” “I know,” suggested Tip, “let’s take a walk, Philip, and leave them alone. That's what you're supposed to do for engaged couples, isn’t it?” “Right,” said Philip, standing up. They went off down the road, leav- ing Terry and Sally sitting alone to- gether on the mill porch. Neither spoke for a moment, then Terry tried awkwardly to explain how he had come to tell Tip of their engagement. “1 couldn’t keep from telling her, Sally. It--it was the right thing to do. She had me in a corner.” “It's all right,” said Sally. “Tip's very clever at finding out secrets. I— 1 let someone know our secret, too.” “You did?” Terry’s face brighteried. “Yes. That night at Mary’s dance Philip Page asked me if 1 were en- gaged to you. I couldn't tell him a lie, somehow, Ani didn’t seem to mat- ter if he knew.” “Gosh—I'm glad!” “That makes us even.” Sally busied herself with gather- ing up the supper things and repack- ing the basket, while Terry sat and smoked: -Sally -wondered how lung Tip would be‘gone with Philip Page, and what they were saying to each other. It was growing dark, and she said Terry. ;could no longer see Terry’s face clearly. She wondered what he was thinking, and why they seemed to have nothing to say to each other. Abruptly Terry threw away his cigaretie and stood up. “Sally,” he said, in a strained voice, if you really love me, let’s get mar- ried right away—tomorrow. Chuck your job and we'll leave town. I can find something to keep us going till the other job ripens.” “But—why?” Sally was bewildered. “It seems so foolish for me to give up a good job before I have to—” . not so foolish—if you love said Terry, ion’t put it that way,” begged Sally. “I'm a slow sort of person. You mustn't spring these sudden impulses on me and expect me to answer with the next breath.” “There wouldn’t be any thinking do if you loved me enough,” said Ty moodily. “I've got to know, Sally—how much you love me.” Sally started to ‘speak, to assure assionately that he was every- @ to her—more important than her job and her family, But honesty checked her, If it came to a choice between Terry and her responsibili- ties, could she shirk them even for Terry? Sally shivered, “I'm cold and unfeeling,” she told herself. “Perhaps I don’t know how to love Terry as much as he loves me.” “Terry,” she said. “Terry, darling. Isn't it enough if I tell you that you're the most exciting thing that ever came to me? I'm selfish. I want to stay and solve my problems, because they'll haunt me if 1 don’t. And yet, 1 want to fly away on your wings. If you fly away without me, I'll never have another pair of wings.” Terry put his hands on her shoul- ders. hat's no answer. Sally, Sally —what are we going todo?” « She stood there quietly for a mo- ment before she spoke. “Will you give me a week to decide?” ’ Terry drew a breath of re- lief. “A week's a long time, but if it’s a promise—” ‘It's a promise,” said Sally. There no time to say more. Tip and Philip were coming down the road.
