THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1940 LEAP YESTERDAY: Tomi inherits a frog farm worth $30,000 from her Uncle. Timothy, with the stipulation that she take imme- diate possession and maintain it at its present financial status for five years, before she can sell it. She can’t accept any aid, nor en- tertain any relatives there for more than twenty-four hours. Otherwise Bartell inherits. ‘Tomi accepts. Chapter Three \- Lawyer And Client No until the heavy front door had been slammed behind Tomi, her many bags and boxes, did she realize she should have called a cab. But then, her denoument had been too swiftly paced to realize anything other than that the family had, to put it mildly, re- sented her choice. They had re- fused to listen to her explana- tions. They couldn’t comprehend her reasons. “Oh, well,” she thought, pulling her collar high so the snow y yh Tomi was out i wouldn’t blow inside, “they'll get over it.” Meanwhile, how reach the nearest her bags througlt the-storm? Like an answer to her qu the headlights of a car filtered through the midnight darkness and, at her hail, drew up to the curb. Tomi helped the driver stack her luggage in the front; then, with a deep sigh of relief, she stepped through the door he opened and bumped heads with a/man who was just emerging. “Heavenly night,” murmured Tomi, rescuing her hat. “Isn't it,” murmured Bartell, rescuing his. “I rounded up the cab and returned with it. Thought | you might be needing one.” Tomi considered sending for another cab, then thought of the storm and reconsidered. “Very thoughtful of you,” she comment- ed, sinking into the seat as the eab lurched forward. “Not at all,” the attorney dis- Paraged. “It is my duty to look after the welfare of my clients.” “Hmm,” said Tomi, and lapsed into silence. So she was to be considered a duty. She supposed she shouldn't blame the man. She’d been a great disappoint ment to him. Shé’ should: have re- fused the estate .nd; saved him months of trouble. That ‘was what he had wanted her to do; that! ‘was what the family had wanted her to do. “And that,” thought Tomi, “is probably why I decided to take it.” She realized she usually re- acted perversely. She excused it because everything she had ever dearly wanted had been won over the objections of the family. “You are naturally interested inithe farm,” Bartell ventured. ‘Fomi didn’t respond. He hadn’t sajd your farm; he had said the farm. ‘Ranaculture’ GNORING her silence, Bartell continued, “It is located on Bay Farm Island, a part of Alameda, | which is another island, both lying directly across the bay from San Francisco. There is an old house, well-built but not at all modern. And there is an old care- taker, much like the house, though not as steady on his un- derpinnings. He’s known as Old Abe. It will be up to you to de- cide whether or not he remains. I might mention that he is an au- thority on ranaculture.” Tomi nodded, and wondered what in the name of goodness he meant by ranaculture. ° “We will fly West.:The farm is within a few miles of the Oakland irport, one of the largest .. .” ‘omi’s mind was occupied with other things.

In fact, you could call it country.” i .,Tomi didn’t like country. She liked pavement, tall buildings, lights and crowds. “Poor transportation, but we will correct that.” . Tomi was exasperated. She was tired. She was nervous. She had carried the family scene with gay flippancy. But A. J. Morris, her employer, could have told that family that the more flippant Tomi acted the more deeply she was hurt. ., She was still hurt and she took it out on the one nearest. “Good- ness,” she breathed in awe, “you must be at least the president of n the cold again. your local Chamber of Com- merce Young And Inexperienced Beas said no more. Only when they reached the hotel ‘omi ad designated did, he speak, and his voice was brittle. | “I will deposit a thousand dollars to. your account in the morning, | Miss Toland. Kindly communicate |with me at your earliest con- venience. I am very anxious to return home.” Tomi, who had been handed out >i the cab, looked up at him and tested him for being so .. . so everything she had ever hoped to find in one man. “Don’t let me de- tain you,” she suggested, mean- ingly. “Unfortunately —” Bartell stressed the word —‘my duties are not at an end until I have ! delivered you on the premises.” | The cab door slammed behind | him as though the driver had been | imbued with his anger. Tomi followed the doorman and | the bellhops into the lobby, feel- ing very young and_inexperi- enced. She was recalling that, since coming from France, she had never spent a night under any roof but a Toland’s. Her signature went onto the |registration card with a flourish |of defiance, and she added Ala- meda, California, as an address. |It was the only one she could ¢laim, In her room she stood listert ing to the Storm outside, and con- | sidering the word “home.” ; | “Home, she’said at length, “is a place where you can move the | furniture around and no one tells you to put it back where it Be- iongs. |__ She was to live in such a place. Not even in her own room at the | Tolands’ had she been allowed to jchange the furniture arrangement. |There, each piece had been placed by Great-great-grand- her ‘Toland—now in that por- | of Heaven reserved exclu- |sively for Tolands—and there it would remain until it or the To- | land strain collapsed. Tomi slipped into bed and lay | thinking of Bartell, wondering if {he had a home. He might even have a wife, she thought, and was amazed to find herself sitting up | in protest. = | Tomi thought of Bartell’s smile, ja lazy, teasing smile. She had | thought, when he started reading | the will, that-he was going to be |nice, the kind’ of man you would \like to know better. That smile .had invited her to share his amusement, And thén . . . Tomi pounded her pillow.ut ch j thousand dollars.
