WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER. 4, Meet Mr. 1939 Lochinvar By Marie Blizard YESTERDAY: Locke returns, looking like a fashion plate. Cecily eonfides to Laura what she found in Locke’s cabin. Chapter 30 Telephone Call “you can’t be in love with him,” said Laura, “or you would mot be so ready to be suspicious of him.” Cecily was beyond reason. “But, Laura, he was in Vickers- port last night. We both saw. him. And never have 1 seen him look- ing the way he did. He came back yesterday. ony -aw him getting off the bus. And he hasn’t been in ali day’ I haven't left this shop since nine this morning.” “He's a man of affairs, proba- bly.” “Affairs! Filling oerry buckets, dangling a fishpole over the side of a dock, whittling a picce of wood! Affairs!” “Well, Cecily, make up your mind. You like him and accept ag for what he ts, or you forget im “T'll forget him. How could | do anything eye?” “If I were you, I'd find out. ['m on his side. 1 like him! | don’t know much about men but I do know something about human nature. I agree with you that things ‘look suspicious, his fine clothes and his pretenses, and his air of mystery about himself, but 11 rely on my instincts about him. He's a gentleman and I don’t be- lieve he'd do any wrong. Why don’t you have it out with him? Why don’t you tell him how you feel about his . . . well, his ban- ter?” “Easier said than done, my friend. Do you bid the east wind come when you want it? Can you turn on the moon? Can you wave your hand in the air and make people appear out of a cloud of cust?” Laura laughed. “Goose! This isn’t New York. No one could hide]: - ; from you here if you wanted to see them.” “There is also the point that 1 don't want to talk to him. 1 can’t explain it to you, Laura, but —, are just that way between us. I simply can’t seek him out.” “But I coule,” Laura said si: ply. : The idea arrested Cecily. “Oh, let’s forget it. | guess I’m just tired. You're quite right--I have been making a situation out of something that reall, isn’t impor- tant.” She got up and put on her white coat. “I wish I’could ask you back to the cottage with me, Cecily, but I'm having supper at the inn to- night with Miss Dixon.” “Td better hurry or I won't have a chance to change for dinner.” Cecily said. Cecily hurried through her bath. put pads of cold water- soaked cotton on her swollen eyes and came down to dinher a little later as the others were going into the dining-room. She took little part in. the con- versation, feeling herself no part of anything. They were having coffee in the drawing-room when Helene said, “Olivia apparently the recent un- pleasantness, at Mrs. Brewster's is not finished business. Your house- maid informed Wilson who told it in turn to Manuel that Mrs. Brew- ster sent for a detective from a Boston agency. He came yester- day and left today.” ‘I Wouldn’t’ “RQUT Mrs. Brewster said it was all nonsense! That Ladv Rathbone never did have tke pin.” “Wouldn't she say that to make her guests feel more at ease?” Olivia dismissed it. “I suppose She would. What a lot of unpleas- antness over one smal] pin!" “Mother, you'd be having hys- terics all over the place if you lost an ear-ring,” Gloria said banter- ingly. “Listen to the child! Do you see me making a fuss, Gloria? And haven't I a half-million dollars’ worth of jewels in my bedroom eafe?” “Do let us see thein, Olivia,” Helene pleaded. “Tt's silly of me but I always take ther with me even up here. I never wear more than a piece or two but 1 do rather Ee myself for the concert. Aurelia Despecchi always wears her rubies for the concert and Madame Branzanga ‘wears evety one of her famous pearls. I'll go along and get them.” Olivia sailed toward the door but Tony reathed it as quickly. She placed a hand gently on Oliv- PALM DAIRY WINNER AGAIN TOOK STRONG CHEELY TEAM INTO CAMP LAST NIGHT The Giant Killers, also known as the Palm-Dairy bowling team, | polished off their third giant last night and are crying for bigger and better giants for their match next week. Their opponents last night, Cheely Lumber No. 1, came armed with some war clubs themselves with the result that the gallery enjoyed one of the outstanding matches of the tournament. Final score: Palm Dairy 1298, Cheely 1211. In the earlier match, Rotary Club won with a good game against a sub-crippled Cheely No. oeees: OBSERVATION: | FROM THE BLEACHERS ia’s arm. “I wouldn’t, Madame | Darrell. Much as we'd like to see them, I do think they’re safer where they are. After all, one never knows .. .” Olivia hesitated, measured glance for glance with Tony and laughe 1 softl;. “Dear child! They'd be quite safe here. How- ever, 1 think it would be a bore. Some other time.” She turned back to the room and crossed to the piano. Tony’s gaze followec her and Cecily rose swiftly, intending to follow an impulse that came to her. For once she intended to follow an impulse without questioning it. The telephone—there was only one at Darelea and that an old- fashioned one. that required ring- ing the extension one wanted by simply turning a handle—was at the end of the main hall, back of the coat closet. Cecily made her way. to it and picked up the receiver. She twist- ed the handle once slowly, twice fast, trying to do it gently so that the echoing tinkle wouldn’t be heard in the drawing-room. After a little while a voice an- swered her. . “Is this the inn? May I please speak with Mrs. Atwill? She’s having supper with Miss Dixon. . -. Yes, thank you, I’ll wait.” Cecily, waiting, for Laura, couldn’t see around at her back. She heard footsteps come into the hall and go away again. Then she heard Laura’s voice. She dropped hers so that she was speaking barely above a Whisper: “Laura, this is Cecily. 3. Brewster has had a detective up from Boston. I must see Locke. He knows something, I'm sure. I just have a hunch that there is something afoot. Do you think it would be all right for me to go to his cabin? It’s moontight.and [’m not afraid. I want to talk to,him. I have a feeling he can clear u things. ,.. Yes, that trip of his had g to do with it, I’m sure. You will? .. . But should you? ... Oh, it’s easy to find. ... Yes, straight down the North road past the Soderson’s place.. No, there isn’t another place anywhere along the road... . All right, to- night.” Reasonable Explanation? Sie rang off, not knowing what to do. Laura was right, -of paula Laura should go, not Ce- cily. And Laura had promised her that she would not go alone; she’d get one of the Calder boys to walk the lonely road with her. Cecily stood uadertermined for a minute.and then werit out into the hall. She came almost face to face -with Philip. “l'was going to call the drug- stereand ask. to send.up some soda, Cetily, but now I Have a bet~ ter idea. Why don’t :we take a walk to the village together] I haven’t had your pleasant company alone for ‘a long time.” Cecily’s eyes scanned his face searchinigly. Had he heard her conversation? Satisfied that. he -hadn’t, she said, “Not. tonights, Philip, P’'ve had a hard day and I’m going to turn in early and read myself tc sleep.” “Okay, little one. I'll see if one of the others will go. I could do with a bit of fresh air.” _ Cecily went back to the draw- ing-room and picked up her knitting. Mechanically, she lifted thread over thread, clicking her needles smartly in time to the quickening pace of ne: thoughts. Laura, as a disinterested strang- er, could talk to Locke. demand to know all about him, explain the situation and get a reasonable ex- planation. After tomorrow ener ining would be all right. And if the ex- planation were not reasonable— She: thrust the knitting into her bag and got up. “If you'll excuse me, I think I'll turn in.” “Don’t go, Cecily. Philip is go- ing to the village to get some soda. He’s going to make a hot pitch. flies how well you'll sleep after at. “Tl sleep well enough, now, Gloria.” Cecily yawned extrava- gantly. She did sleep. But it was not well enough. Troubled dreams and a troubled conscience haunted her. She tossed the night away ‘reaming that Laure — poor, scared, timid little thing — had been accosted by a mountain lion on the road to Locke. She woke with. the subconscious thought haggling at the edge of her con- sciousness and was on for the daylight which would bring an end to it. Continued tomorrow. 2 team, 1080 to 894.
