igs Yay: SYNOPSIS: When Philip Page boyhood Chapter 29 Sally ‘Shows The Town’ — did not complain of the long walk from Milltown to the Morris house. Nothing she had to tear seemed very important beside the’ bitter lot of the McDonalds. Mary Morris was on a side veranda of the big house, when Sally came in. ‘She called to Sally to join her. “Darling! You're ‘a wreck!” she eried, as Sally sank down exhausted im a big wicker chair. “1 sent the car “This is what ve used to cal! good tennis weather.” said Sally, fanning therself with the big bat. “Tennis, yes,” said Mary, “But Gragging along the hot streeis is an- matter. When your mother sees she'll ask me to send you home _ to be looked after.” She or- @ drink for Sally. “Ncw, see think of my plans for the i'm going out with Bob Dawes, and youre going to show Mr Giles Benton the town. We'll meet Barn and come home together.” | “Why don't you show Mr Giles ‘Benton the town yourself?” said Sally, )with some spirit. “He's your guest, »Rot mine.” “He's father’s,” corrected Mary. ; “But I've bad this engagement for a ‘week and can't break it. Reason num- “ber two, Giles has taken a fancy to ‘You. Reason number three, Giles has ; ‘Against so many reasons, argu- Ment is hopeless,” laughed Sally. “Only—I'm not in the market for a fich husband, and ! don't think Mr. tage Benton likes me or that I like “Time will tell,” said Mary. “But ‘one of my ambitions is io see you married to a rich husband and queen- ing it over a large establishment.” (“Dream on,” said Sally, Neverthe- fless she cast off her mood of depres- sion as she took a cold shower and it on the blue dress that Philip Page found so becoming. had ised to send her butler with a et of food and a bottle of wine for May McDonald, and even this dittie .elt for May comforted Sally ‘and helped her to banish the memory of the poor tittle house. | Giles Benton made a very agree- j@ble fourth at dinner, Sally had to @dmit. He talked to everyone about @ny subject that was introduced. and even got Mr. Morris to say a few words. Sally supposed that Mr Ben- ton would be considered a nandsome man. Certainly he looked very smart in his white flannels and blue coat. But somehow he did not strike her fancy. He was a shade too polite, too Willing to shift his point of view to ‘gny other that pleased his compan- fons. He was, Sally judged, a little @ily. And she did not- believe that he was rich. He paid too much atten- tion to the lavish display of the Morris house, and was too interested in the cost of things. Rich people, Sally had Observed, take wealth for granted. She wondered more than ever who he was and why he had come. Sally Senses Danger YVBEN Mary escort fina come for her. and Sally wabjeft aione on the terrace with GilessBenton. she felt a curious sense of @angcr. as if she were embarking on ® perilous if exciting adventure. Yet there was no feason for the feeling—Benton was Scrupulously polite and the conversa- tion iad been impersonal. “1 find this little town very charm- fing.” b- said to her. “I have seen little of the south, but | have heard much @bout the pleasant, leisurely life the southerners lead.” “That depends on which sort of @outhberner you happen to be,” laughed Sally, “the leisurely life, 1 @ean. | work for my living.” “But you have not always done so. 3 understand you are of the ola, aris- tecratic family of the Warrens.” “Mary bas been filling your head ‘with notions,” said Sally. “I'm afraid I can't play the lady-of-the-manor for you.” “But you can play the charming @outhern girl.” said Giles Benton. “and very successfully.” “What is it you want me to show you in town?” asked Sally, feeling Mhat the subject needed changing, — ton. She pointed out old landmarks and told Giles the stories she had been told about them when she was a child, Here was the poplar where General Sherman had tethered his horse, when he took the town during the Civil war. Here was the old well, that a woman had once been drowned in during the days when Warren's best citizens believed in witchcraft. Giles listened attentively te al) that Sally told him, telling stories of his own now and then. Only twice dur- ing the evening did his manner change. Once, when Sally pointed out the Page house as a fine example of colonial southern architecture, Giles mopped oe car ond stared for a long “I understand the house has recently mortgaged,” he said, should like to own it.” “That; @an't be true,” said Sally emphatically. “Philip Page loves house—well, next best to his wor! He wouldn't risk losing it for thing.” - “Sometimes there is no choice,” suggested Giles. “You're mistaken,” Sally was firm, “1 mean to ask him, but I'm sure it’s a mistake.” Again, when they passed the ruins of the Palace theater, Giles said, “A reat tragedy. I suppose the people of the town would like to see the man punished—the man who deliber- ately burned that building.” “Most of us believe it. was an ace cident,” said Sally, with an indefinable fear at her heart. “Morris has proof, positive proof, the building was set on fire,” said Giles Benton. “I'm not telling you a secret, Miss Warren, Everyone will soon know.” A Man Lurks At The Gate LSyreatel was glad Giles Benton finally drove to the Barn and they joined Mary and Bob Dawes. Bob was a handsome boy whose father had made Toney in the furntiure business. He lived some 60 miles away, but he often came over to spend an evening with Mary. Mary had gone te many house parties at the Dawes home, and Sally knew that Mrs. Morris hoped that Mary would one day marry Bob. Mary, however, used Bob when she chose to make some other suitor Jealous, but Sally knew she never considered marrying him. “Let’s dance,” Mary hailed them, “Unless you want something to drink oe? bid for Giles. I’m tired of Mary swept off in Giles Benton’s arms, and Sally was left with Bob. “I'm afraid she means that.” said Bob ruefully. “1 can’t seem to amuse Mary for a whole evening. She was tired of me an hour ago.” “Not really,” said Sally. “Mary's Just restless these days. She doesn’t know what she wants. But Sally knew that Mary did at last know what she wanted. She wanted to marry Philip Page, and Philip was as yet uninterested in her, Sally, dancing with Bob Dewes, thought of the last time she had danced with Terry in this same place. It seemed to her that she could never get away from the places she had been with Terry. Philip nad been right when he said that work would dull the pain she felt at parting with Terry forever. But not even work could banish the memory of Terry that came back to taunt her in the places she had danced with him. After they had danced awhile, Mary proposed that they go home and off with @ dip in the pool. They the Barn with Bob Dawes’ car in thi lead, but soon Sally lost sight of big car ahead. “I can’t keep up with him,” laughed Giles. “I ‘haven't got a motor like that.” When they reached the iron gate of the Morris driveway, Bob Dawes’ car was nowhere in sight. “They've probably stopped some- where on the way,” said Sally. “Mary's always changing her mind.” As the car turned in at the gate, a man stepped aside to let them pass. He was a tall man in work clothes, and, as the lights of the car played across his face, Sally recognized him, It was wicDonald. Sally could not restrain a little ex- clamstion of surprise. Giles brought the car to a standstill, but the man in work clothes hurried past them and disappeared around the. , Wallc= ing rapidly. $253) (Copyright. 1936, Bailey, Wolfe) Philip reveals the truth about Giles Benton tomorrow. for Havana.
