PATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Meet Mr. Lochinvar Sooamarcammammammmemmanes FN Shord YESTERDAY: Realizing that she is considered an outcast by the girls of Gloria’s set because she has no boy friend, Cecily im- pulsively says she is engaged to Philip Callen, the author of @ book in her library. Chapter Nine Cecily’s Fiancé RS. WILKERSON and her husband look like a couple of international thieves, Mrs. Brewster says,” iaughed Laura. Cecily nodded. “She probably asked Mrs. Brewster as many questions as she asked me. When she found out that I was Olivia Darrell’s niece, she asked me all kinds of questions about Aunt Olivia, about the parties at Darelea and who the other guests were. By the way, I didn’t know you had been here last summer.” Laura flushed for no apparent reason. “I forgot to tell you,” she said. “I came here when I was about seventeen one summer and I never forgot the place. I've al- ways loved it.” She didn’t say that when she was seventeen she had met a grave, keen-eyed young man who had forgotten, or didn’t know that Laura Atwill was Laura Metcalf, Tae wealthy daughter of a Boston banker who had hired his boat and his services day after day. The oung man himself was later to come a banker. That was to come later—many years later, and much had happened to Laura Met- calf before she met Donald Hem- ingway again. “If you’ve got another brush, Tl help you,” shc saic and settled down cross-leggcd on the floor, trying not to hear the thunder. and shouting above it. “I had to tell a lie while you were gone,” Cecily shouted in re- turn. “I had tu save my reputa- tion with Gloria’s friends. They thought I was a curiosity because I haven’t any beaux.” There was a flash of lightning and a peal of thunder. The little shop trembled and the candles fluttered. When the din subsided somewhat, Cecily, still shouting, said, “I told them I was engaged.” “But you're not!” Cecily laughed. “Of course I’m not, but I did it to save face. I said I was engaged to Philip Callen.” “Who's he?” There was a Guick boom and over it, Cecily’s voice went up again. “I don’t hnow. He’sa writer. He wrote Ride the Rainbow. 1 never heard of him before but I couldn’t think of any name when Karen asked me what the name of my fiancé was, so I selected that one.” The thunder had stopped and her yoice sounded ridiculously loud. “Atta girl!” uc approved. “Never let them know the truth.” The candles sputtered again and the doorbell tinkled at the front} of the shop. “Don't tell me e’ve a custom- er on a day like this,” Cecily said and got up. Before she could get to her feet, Mrs. Wilkerson put her head around the corner of the screen. Cecily had a fleeting thought that the lady had covered the distance from the front door in amazingly short order. It was only a fleeting thought. “Oh, Mrs. Wilkerson, I’m so sorry you didn’t get the message I left. I went to the inn to say that I'll bring the baskets tomorrow They won't dry today.” “That's all right,” Mrs. Wilker- gon said smoothly. “I'm afraid || won't be able to take them. We're leaving tonight.” “Then I'm sorry,” Cecily replied | graciously. “Is there anything I ean do for you now?” ‘Where’s The Fire?’ N RS. WILKERSON didn’t an- ‘ swer at onc-. She appeared to be studying Cecilv’s face. Then, hurriedly, she said, “Nothing, my dear. | just stopped by to tell you that ‘I ‘won't: be able: to wait for them.” Laura watcheu her departure with contemplative eyes. “That's funny,” she said. “Now why would -he put herself out to come down here on a day like this just to tell you she wasn’t buying two dollars’ worth of. baskets?” Cecily laughed at her friend. “Laura,. anybody’d think you thought she had designs on the shop. You ought to get together with Mrs. Brewster and have a good talk about your impressions of poor Mrs. Wilkerson.” “Well, you're likely to be suspi- cious of people who don’t belong in a place like this, an@ the Wil- kersons dor:'t belong Also, while we're on the subject, did you get a lock for the door? I don’t think you ought to leave it open at night.” “Laura, don’t you kn<w that there hasn’t been an occupant in the local jail in the last five years? There isn’t a soul in this town that would steal a postage stamp. Oh, that reminds me, I haven't been to the postoffice today.” She completely forgot about the Wilkersons. She was to think of Mrs. Wilker- son one week frou that day and to wish that lady had not been so kind as to call on her to'eancel her unimportant order. nights a week until eight o’clock but Cecily always left at six. Din- ner was at seven at Darelea and she liked the half-hour before when the family and Gloria’s friends gathered on the porches or in the drawing-room—it was called a drawing-room at Olivia’s —for a cocktail’ before dinner. Cecily spent away from the shop. Laura’s ‘coming had *given her more freedom and she had often gone fishing, played tennis and badminton with the others, There were always the otiers and some- times, noting that Karen and Al- lene were bored, she wondered why they stayed on. “I can take a little of it but 1 should be bored to death spending one of their typical days,” she said to Laura. “You won't get much of it to- night if you don’t hurry. It’s near- ly seven.” Cecily shuffled her feet in the pine-needles and the smooth peb- bles of the drive leading up to the house, a little later. She skirted a smart, sleek roadster that blocked her path and wondered whether it meant there would be another girl or another slouched youth that had come to join the party. “Here she is now!” Karen’s ex- cited voice was followed by Karen herself standing in the doorway waving frenziedly for Cecily to hurry. “In the drawing-room,” Karen answered cryptically, drawing her in, “and if you put it out, Allene and I will ‘be‘fighting over it.” To Cecily’s amazement, Karen shoved, her int- the living-room. Cecily was aware of several things at unce. She ‘saw ‘that her aunt was looking at her with a pleased smile. There was an air of expectancy in the room. Before she cou] voice a question, there was a young man hastening to- ward her, with his hands out- stretched. HE was coming towacd her. He had ceught both her hands. He was kissing her and his arm encircled her! She gsIped and tried to get away from that encircling arm. “Cecily, darling, forgive me for coming without an invitation”— Cecily listened, too dumbfounded to interrupt—“I’m driving back tonight but I had to see you. And your aunt understunds.” “Oh, my aunt... my aunt un- derstands?” Why was she bab- Fantastic! son.ething intelligent to. say? This minute and discover she had been dreaming. But he was still talking. “Tn fact, I've been scolding her.” As he-contined Cetvily looked rap- idly in her.aunt’s direction.’No one ever scolded Madame Darrell! Who was this person? “I told her that she couldn’t take you away engaged.” “Philip, a cocktail?” Allene held out the tray to the stranger. Philip? Cecily, playing for time to as- semble her scattered wits, took a cocktail from the ‘tray, still not having said a word. Something disquieting was beginning to glim- mer in the recesses of her memory. She'd told these girls that she was engaged to a Philip Callea, She'd told Laura Atwill about it. She Bact told one other person. Un- less—- She wanted to ask what it all meant out caution made her hold her tongue. books but they couldn't happen to her. Her aunt was speaking: suade your fiancé to stay. He tells us that he is on a vacation and we want him to remain with us at Darelea. Mr. Caller I'll have Wil- son get your things.” len, with a twinkle in his eye and a challenging strength in his arm was saying, “If my girl wants me to, Madame Darrell, I should like to. Come along Cecily, and per- suade me.” All persuasion seemed to be well in the hands of Philip'Callen. Cecily found herself being gently onto the porch. Out ‘of doors she hastily led the way to the tea- house in the garden, anxious to be out of hearing. She didn't sit down. She hadn't come for an exchange of ipleas- antries. “Well?” she said. Philip Callen lounged easily against the fram work of the door when she refused the chair he in- dicated. He offered her his cig- arette case and regarded her with amusement. “Which one of us will explain first?” he asked easily. Cecily drew herself up with dig- nity. “T should think that you owe me an ‘explanation of this ridicu- lous situation.” “On the other hand, my dear, what about our engagement?” He was right, of course. She should never have been such a silly little fool as to have used the name of an ‘actual person. If she could eed him see that she meant no rm— he continued, “The situation in- Sines me. It piques my interest rand as...er... asa writer, I'd like te see it through. Neither of us has anything to ‘lose if you'll act like a good sport.” That was the day that Philip Callen appeared at Darelea.
