THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1939 Meet Mr. Lochinvar By (oare Slrgrd aeons YESTERDAY: Cecily gives a party in her shop hoping the strange young man will come to it. He doesn’t show up—but she sees him a few days later. Chapter 13 Mr. Locke HE HAD come up without her seeing him. He leaned com- panionably against the fat sides of the complacent Bess. “Hello, Lady Bountiful,” he said. “What do you think of my charger?” “Is this the pony on which you fled the sheriff?” “Three thousand miles, and see | how she fiourished under it?” He troked the hefty head. “You must have been good to her.” “I am. Nothing but hand-picked cats for my faithful steed. But then I'm naturally kind-hearted. Many & supper I've shared with Careless Grace. I call her Careless Grace because of her laconic poses. Did I ever tell you how she came to win the Kenutcky Derby?” Cecily shook her head, Sh: thought: It looks as though you had shared many a meal and Se ten the short end of it yourself. His throat exposed by the open shirt looked thin to her. “It was back in '29. Pappy hadn't been doing well with the still. Did I tell you we were mountaineers? Yessir, a long line of ’em. Why, the famous feud of ...” “Lochinvar from Kentucky?” “That's right, I'd forgotten.’ They both laughed. Then Cecily said sternly, “You forgot to tell me anything. And I'm a little bit curious.” | “Let's sit this one out.” He took | her hand, and, unprotesting, Ce- cily sat down on a tuft of grass by the roadside. Her companion oined her, breaking off a long plade and blowing into it to make @ shrill whistle. He's like a little boy, she thought. “I always do that,” he said con- fidentially, “to let my henchmen know when I'm in danger so that they'll be about in case I need help.” “You're not in any danger now, ere you?” she asked an with undue excitement for the an- swer to such a trivial question. He looked at her and there were no crinkles of corners of he said trie! “Well. go on.” “Oh, about the things you want} to know? Well, ma’am, I’m now a resident of Vickersport.

But he didn’t hear her because, when she said it, it was late and she was alone under the stars that seemed to touch the tps of the spruces, suspended a3 they were against the black velvet curtain of the night. Supper Parties HILIP came back to Darelea. Olivia sprained her ankle and took to her couch. A young Span- ish couple — Helene and Manuel Fernandez —came up from New York. Philip read to Olivia, played cribbage with her and became “my dear boy.” He played bridge with Olivia and her guests and lost cheerfully ‘ory night. When the little party went to ‘ta beach daily, it was Philip whose strong arm supported Olivia, Philip who arranged her pillows and beach chair. Cecily put off telling the truth to Olivia. Laura, blooming under her own slow romance, encouraged Cecily not to speak. “It can’t accomplish any good right now, Cegily. Andywhen the summer is oyer it will be easier. After all, your little lie really brought paphintss to some people and maybe he is just enjoying him- self. You know lots of writers are self-made and haven't any back- ground of pleasant home-life. Per- pees that’s what this means to im.” “Well, if he likes toting and car- rying, which is what this touch of home-life seems to be, far be it from me to destroy his little holi- day. But it does bother me that I’m responsible.” “Responsible for what? For bringing a little gayety to a few people? Nonsense! 3esides, he isn’t the type to murder you in your beds or make off with the family “I hadn’t given ides, Aunt Olivia's jewels are carefully locked. up in the safe. She never wears them ex- cept for the concert.” “Oh, inat reminds me,” Laura broke in. “Why wouldn't it be a good idea to get Philip to auto- graph a few copies of his book? There are twelve new people stay- Ride the Rainbow.” “Laura, that's sheer inspifation! Pll ask him tonight. That's a grand idea.” “It was Donaid’s,” proudly. “So it’s ‘Donald’ How’s the fine romance coming along?” Laura colored delicately. “Ceci- ly, it isn’t a romance! He happened Laura said “Will you come to my next par- ing at the inn who'd be prospects | and we have those extra copies of | now, is it? | ‘REDS AND CARDS BOWLERS JUSTIFY | KEEP RACE HOT | (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, ,, Sept. 14.—The ! first, second and third place posi- } tions were not . changed again yesterday in the National League )as Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis!
