MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1937. J wo’s Company By MARGARET GUION The Characters Nina, a nice gi:l with flaren hair, has fallen in love with her stepfather. Richard, the charming, well- tailored stepfather, pays consid- erable attention to Nina, Honey, Nina’s gay, plump, youthful mother, is crazy about her new husband. David, a young auto salesman, has begun to adore Nina. Cordefiais Nina’s closest friend. Chapter 13 The Hunt "THEY had dinner, just the three of them in the spacious, white- walled dining-room. Afterwards, Nina played pool for a while with Carl as Hester sat back looking like some old feudal painting, with her tapestry frame... and at 10:30, they went to bed. _ Carl said—as hedid every hunt- ing-eve: “You cag't hunt and stay up late.” So they said their good nights. Hester turned a cool cheek for Carl's kiss, and they went to their separate rooms. Nina dreamt that she and Rich- ard were walking, hand in hand, down a long, flower-bordered path. She felt tired when she woke up. But soon the excitement of the day overcame her fatigue: dress- ing by lamplight, breakfast, Eng- lish fashion, with hot dishes at the sideboard—a young fellow named Tommy somebody or other, and Lilith Kent came over to join them; gay, sleepy greetings; the creak of leather . . . the faint jin- gling of steel.... “Well, Romy, better luck to- day, young fella' You're riding A stiff post and rail. Headstrong if I'm not mistaken.” Car} was mounting him. “Nine- year-old, clean- bred, doing his fifth season. Capable, cour jeous, but a trifle er—well, ‘Headstrong’ is right, ha! hal” Laughter. Prophecies. Wagers. “Good morning, Mrs. Semple. You really shouldn’t bother to get up so early... .” Hester came in, in a floaty, but- tercup-colored thing that Nina felt was an unfortunate choice. It made her look slightly sallow. Lilith said, in her straightfor- ward way: “Poor Hester, I've heard of golf widows, but you're a real hunt widow, aren’t you?” And Hester crossed over to the buffet with that peculiar, numb look on her face. “Yes,” she answered, quietly, “but it’s my own fault, of course.” A Horn Blows, Whips Crack T WAS another tradition at Harmony that Carl always “hacked” to and from the meets. If he had a houseful of guests, they were usually driven over in light brakes, or the tally-ho, but this | morning his three friends rode | over with him. Outside the air was fresh ... tangy. The four hunters were wait- ing at the steps. “We'll take the cut through Scarborough wood ” said Carl, and they were off. " As they neared the end of th wood path, the gray through the trees gradually began to change to violet, to salmon, to pink and just as they came out upon a glori- aeieas of open country, to The fullest moment of beauty «+. the sunrise. Far away they heard a hound. At the Manor, there was a crowd @f cars, carriages and a small army | ae moons.

Down the main road thov at first, the brittle rhythm of horses’ hoofs mingling with the creak of saddlery, and the sharp cries of the huntsman to his hounds. “Lope on there. “Coop on, Echo!’ Nina took a great deep breath from sheer exhilaration . . . hel it; and Carl, riding beside her, saw it and smiled. He understood just how she felt, Presently, drawing from an im- portant covert, a hound opened in a loud, resounding voice. “Echo!” cried Carl. “Never opens unless she’s sure she’s right. We're for it!” And they were. Through the woods; across a field, with the weird gray mist in their nostrils curling up from a nearby marsh; over a wall, a ploughed field; a muddy brook; a stiff post and rail. It was tough going. “Damn that Worthington crea- ture!” swore Lilith, cantering eas- ily at Nina’s side. “She’s been in my pocket all morning!” . “Too bad. Where’s Tommy?” Everybody kept an eye on young Tommy, spoarenny, he was such a very bad rider... and such a brave. “He got a refusal down the road,” Poor Tommy. They both grinned, and separated a bit. Tommy Falls Off Eye fox were run to ground fore there was a»pause for sandwiches. A few of the ladi dropped out for bridge—but no! many—they were a hardy. lot. At two o’clock, hounds found again at the far end of the Miles Covert. Away they streamed, and the field settled down to what promised to be a nice long gallop. It was tough going. After about 40 minutes, Nina saw Tommy's bay. up in front, oe iene noes nai fence. le scra| and bum along for some distance, first on his kn then on his chin. She swerv sharply, to avoid a collision, and drew rein. “Okay, Tommy?” His nice, freckled face was quite unrecognizable from mud, but he appeared to be sound. ‘his mug is crazy,” he mut- tered. “Just to prove I was wrong, he took that last bit of timber at the owl “Chance-y sort of jumper, I should say .. .” Nina remarked, diplomatically. “Oh, well, there’s always the hound van!” He leughed, and was up again. She thought: “Good. boy, Tom-, my,” and pressed the mare, Gray Dawn, lightly with her kn iO Ina way it was a wonderful day, and yet she found herself think« ing of Richard so constantly that it was dreadful . .. wanting him by her side to share the mo- ments of beauty with which these hours were so replete. But she tried, steadfastly, not to think of him, and when she couldn't help herself, she urged her horse forward, so recklessly that once or twice she almost over- rode the hounds. “Watch yourself, Nina,” warned Carl, sharply. “The M.F.H.’s got his eye on you. . . . Anything wrong?” Tt was not like Nina to commit this grave offence, Everything was wrong, but she = tell him. en... at 3:20, it hay as suddenly as a clock stri rot the hour in the night. They were crossing the main road at top speed at a point just south of Scarborough wood, when Nina’s Gray Dawn collided with a thrust- ing woman follower, slip on the frosty macadam, and went down, | (Copyright. 1987 Margaret Herzog) David proposes desperately te ~m. tomorrow, Seveseesereseoe Walter G.
