PAGE FOUR YESTERDAY: Solly has are rived at her country house alone to find even the servants gone, a storm blowing up, and a frighten- ‘ing note in her room which warns her to leave at once, because her life is in danger. Her fright is a little less now, because Bill, her husband, has arrived. So has Aunt Maggie, who is older than the rest of the party and inclined to give herself airs. ~ Chapter Three Eve Opens Fire 'UCH a day, such a day,” Aunt Maggie sighed, sinking with austion onto one . “And such a Pretty, in a haired, Dres- Aunt Mag- all the airs g and beauty. ted for a moment be- ‘S w,” she an- “Didn’t you take Bessie swered accus ly. telephone Andrew to 1e at Roswell to get a to be sent out 2 And didn’t it for the next failed to come Aunt Maggie pt along with- out waiting to listen to my em- whisper your ear. Anyway, Bob’s compliments always make a very special job: And, of course a very special job. of course, Bob is really quite good looking himself in an outdoor, Gary Coop- erish sort of way. _By this time we were all in the library, and in the hubbub of gen- eral greetings I surprised one of those intimate glances that two people sometimes exchange invol- untarily in a crowd. Claire, a lit- tle flushed with embarrassment at the hurt look she saw in Kirk’s eyes, turned her own eyes away. Kirk, recovering himself, looked away quickly, too. His glance, roving around the Toom, came to rest above the mantel on that portrait of Great- uncle Fred, complete with saber— a gentleman so fierce of visage that you almost expected him to charge right out of the canvas, “Good heavens, who's that?” Kirk gasped, shrinking back in mock alarm, the general laughter cover- -|}ing any awkwardness which might have arisen. I said. “He was a captain in the Confederate Cavalry.” “Gosh,” marveled Kirk, who hails from Pennsylvania, “looking at him, I can’t understand how the South lost the war.” Even Aunt Maggie laughed. And, looking at Kirk, I couldn’t understand how I had ever thought I saw him running a foot “I never am the extra woman,” Eve said. Phatie denial. “Of course, you couldn’t know that the second bus would be an hour late and that we would have a flat tire on the way back and that it would rain. And the dampness so bad for my sinuses.” _, When Aunt Maggie finally ran down, I said again, “But I tele- Phoned no such message.” “Andrew probably’ just got fed up with the country,” Eve sug- gested with her usual happy gift for facetiousness at the wrong time. “Still, that’s not like Andrew,” said my husband. “Better look in- to it, Sally.” “I should say I will,” I declared, starting toward the kitchen with- out more ado. “Tell Andrew to bring me a little sherry,” Aunt Maggie called after me, plaintive- ly. But before I reached the din- ing-room door, another carload of guests could be heard arriving and my visit to the kitchen was accordingly deferred. “Hail, hail, the gang’s all here,” sang Bill off key, as he ushered them in. And indeed we were all here. Alice looking more negative and colorless than ever beside a fairly radiant Claire, was fol- lowed by Bob Dunbar and Kirk Pierce. For a moment I thought Alice Was carrying a big white muff, then I saw it was an enormous Angore cat she held*in her arms. “I do hope you don’t mind my bringing Plutarch,” she apologized as she dumped him down prepara- tory to sh ig her wraps. “Since we were to be out here two nights, I told Mamie not to come back until day morning and 1 e been nobody to ter Plutarch.” I don’t mind,” I ad to Eve and be- Maggie, but se- said, jus fore th: cretly hop: t as I a charm and that week end. id be wearing hoop said Bob, as his ‘ked deep into mine, then swept the hall hits graceful stai: smile at me the type, w eyes and brow Fascinating M: qAYBE it is 1 ju are just ,big brown in the room, his blue against a in tan.

There is something so dy- namic and forthright about him, something so reassuring about the humorous glint in his dark eyes, that you cannot imagine his being, well, circuitous about anything. “Black Southerner” ExcePr for the fact that he was born on what Aunt Maggie would consider the wrong side of the Mason and Dixon line, Kirk is the type she would describe as a “black Southerner.” Not that he is swarthy, but because of his black hair and his black-browed, keen black eyes. Kirk’s quick way of talking rather sets him apart in the South and his eyes have something of that same quick quality, as though they see a lot in a little time and sometimes glance away because they have seen too much. No, it couldn’t have been Kirk. a, anyway, hadn’t he been my usband’s roommate at Princeton, and best man «at our wedding, and hadn’t we all. wels comed him with open arms whem i came, Routh 8 Year ago as dige: Tict manager for a Jarge Eastern’ corporation?

With this knowledge, a friendly disposition, a predilection for re- search, ahd a reputation for being one of the most laconic members of Congress when not on his feet on the floor of the House fight- ing for some measure, Jones ham- mered his way to the top of the congressional heap. For nine years, he has been chairman of the committee on agriculture, has been one of the ;President’s most trusted advisers ‘on all farm problems, and has steered through the House almost every important piece of the present administration’s farm legislation. In 1936, he carried much of the load in campaigning for the President's re-election in ithe farm belt. | But it wasn’t only for that that jhis colleagues were singing his 'praises the Other day. It was for those qualities which have en- ;deared him to friend and politicak enemy alike.

Noah, after his deliverance from the deluge, offered sacri- fice of every clean beast and fowl; Job thanked God in his af-} flictions. Different nations and creeds, even pagans, set aside a fixed time for thanksgiving. There are some persons in this day and other times who are mere churchgoers, worshipping God, but not loving their neigh- bor.
