It was a trifle more attentive to That was all, danced on the saucer as she put it back when he had spoken. “Philip Callen?” she repeated slowly and with assumed sweet- ness. “Shall I tell you my name or shall I make up one, too?” “Don’t you like it?” “It’s too common. So many peo- ple s¢em to have it. I won’t insist on your telling me. I don’t wish to Probe,” she added sedately. He leaned toward her andspoke in a theatrical whisper: “Thankee, lady. You've treated me right and I'll do the same. I’m a bad man from the wild West! I’m wanted! The posse is after me for holding up the stagecoach from Beverly Hills to Los Angeles! But I got a head start this mawnin’. Where am I?” Cecily laughed at his nonsense and then, catching herself, she said sarcastically, “Congratula- tions, Jesse James! This is the tockbound coast of Maine.” “My, my, how time does fly! But look here, ma’am, my name isn’t Jesse James.” “I'm not good at guessing games,” she replied. “Now, let’s us think of some- thing more attractive. How about Lochinvar? He was a gallant West- erner.” “A bold one, too,” she agreed, and saw that it was nearly ten- thirty. She got up. “T'm afraid that I can’t offer you my hospitality any longer.” She had forgotten that she hadn’t of- fered it in the first place. He picked up a hat that looked as though it had seen rough trav- eling across the country by pony express. “I don’t like to turn you out into the night. May I offer you a smail lean?” Cecily took two dollars from her purse and held them out to him. He looked at them slowly. Then he looked at her face and some- thing warm came into her breast. She thought: He likes me! He bowed deeply and, with the gesture, he took the bills, slipping them carelessly into his pocket. “Thank you,” he said simply. “Merely a loan, of course.” He bowed again. Cecily could have sworn that there was a flour- ish to the marner in which he swept his hat rakishly onto the side of his head as he went off to- ward the inn. She closed the door in back of her and set out homeward toward Darelea, forgetting the ball of white yarn. Unreality i pve rain had cleared away in the night and the bright morn- ing sun fell on Cecily's eyes, wak- ing her to the day and a realiza- tion that she anticipated that day. She lay quiet for a few minutes assembling the memory that elud- ed her yet quickened her senses. She felt eager and suddenly alive, as though she wanted to go out to meet something. It was a new fecling that per- vaded her, and with it came a rush of clear thinking, of suddenly see- ing herself as she had been dur- ing the last we.ks. She realized that she had insulated herself against the change that had come into her life since the day that she had learned she was no longer fi- nancially independent. She had accepted things without making them a part of her The only thing that had been rea? was the found- ing of the shop. She had refused to make herself a vivid part of anything that was happening to her. Everything had had the quality of unreality. Amd principally among ,these} was Philip Callen. Philip Callen, even now, Was sleeping under the same roof. An imposter—because he was there as @ guest, her aunt’s welcome guest because’ he was her “fiancé.” Cecily thought: I must do some- thing about it. J will tell Aunt Olivia the truth. She was suddenly ashamed that she had permitted the thing to get on as it had. Yet, she reasoned justly, it had done no harm. Philip Callen had addec immeasurably to the gayety of the household. He made himself a useful and pleas- ant guest and he was well liked. Allene Bixby made no secret that she had a crush on him. Karen Willoughly had already invited him—with Cecily, of course—for a week-end at her parents’ home at Southampton later in the season. Cecily had decided to let it go on. Philip would surely not re- main at Darelea for more than a few days and when he left, it would all be a forgotten incident. A feeling of dislike and distrust of him thrust itsel{ into her thoughts. She wanted to be fair, and searched her mind for the TWO SPECIALS AT Specials for today, Wednesday { and Thursday at Maloney Bros. of West Palm Beach Times, Mrs. | as |Balfe, and three children are vis- | on |iting Lieut.-Com, Fort Callahan | (12-10) vs. Chase (10-17). | tand Mrs. Callahan. | They will be here for a few/der (11-8) vs. Donald 413-2).

They always seemed to narrow a trifle as though they were calcu- lating something. , That small sign was a Sanger signal to Cecily and, for all that she could not imagine what he was calculating, she decided to go to Olivia with the truth. She would do it that night. , Having disposed of her resolu- tion, her thoughts turned to the And to the night before. “Lochinvar, indeed!” she ‘said, and was impatient to be up. In her closet her fracks were ar- ranged in a neat row. She selected a bright blue linen without con- sciously thinking that her gray eyes took on a blue light reflected from the tone of the fabric. She brushed her tawny hair un- til it shone and tied a blue ker- chief over it. She put on her flat- heeled moccasins and took them off again, donning instead a pair of high-heeled sandals. Looked like | somebody’s little girl, did she? It was scarcely eight when she | ran down the stairs. She was the earliest riser at Darelea, ‘Rosemary’ “THERE was > letter at her breakfast place. She opened it eagerly. Wilson had returned with the evening mail while she was out the night before and, in her excited mood on her return, she had forgotten to ask if there had been any for her. A newspaper clipping fell out with the letter. Both were from Jean Tuthill, “We miss you, darling,” Jean wrote, “but we envy you. It’s been | beastly in New York. We thank heaven for the coolth of your apartment which Hilda adoré There was more about the acti ties of Cecily’s group of friends. At another time, she would have felt a wave of nostalgia for them. Today, her interest was no further | than where she was. She turned the pages, reading: “Thanks for the bits of news from Vivkersport,” Jean went on. “Don’t forget to tell ne when you have other guests. It’s hard to fill the newspaper columns during this weather and every little bit helps. I’m enclosing a clipping of an Item out of your last letter.” Cecily had written that Philip Callen was a L.ouse-guest. She had added no details. She picked up the clipping. It was dated nearly a week be- | fore and read: Conspicuously absent at the gay parties attendant on Ten- nis Week at Newport are those three popular débutantes, Gloria Watts, Allene Bixby and Karen Willoughby who are nouse-par- tying in Maine. They are the guests of Gloria’s mother, Mme. Olivia Darrell of the Metropol- itan, whose palatial summer home, Darelea, at Vickersport is famed for its almost constant roster of celebrated guests. A recent addition to the party is Philip Callen, well-known au- thor, Later in the season, Mme. Darrell will entertain a party of fellow artists of the Met. This is an annual custom at Darelea to which Vickersport looks for- ward. During the closing week of the summer colony season, a concert is given by Mme. Dar- rell and her guests and the pro- ceeds are given to the local char- ities. Word reaches us that this affair is comparable in brilliance to the more ambitious projects of the New York season. It’s an occasion for diamond tiaras and Paris gowns and the wealthy colony which summers at Vick- ersport puts aside its cottons nd wools to blossom on this oc= casion. Cecily read it hastily and tu¢ked it into her pocket, glad that she had been able to give Jean a bit of news. Her footsteps hastened along the main street of the vill pelled by an urge that she ri to put into words. She wanted to get to the shop before Laura ar- tived. There might be—there just might be—a message for her there. What the message would-be, she had ne idea. Or if there would be one. There was. Slipped under her door was a small white envelope. _ With mounting excitement, she picked it up and opened it. There was a sheet of blank pa- | bef enclosing two Crisp one dollar ills and a small, faded sprig. That | was all. She held the sprig with its dried blossom in her d. “It’s Rose- mary,” she said. And then, “Rose- mary is for remembrance.” ‘SPORTS EDITOR MALONEY BAKERY IS VISITOR HERE’ Continued tomorrow. Robert M.
