| Boing to try todo... FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7 me MEMORY OF THE MOON | Pieces by Jeanne Bowman ‘Ss YESTERDAY: John agrees to lend Constance $50,000 on con- dition that (1) if she fails to “show a profit the ranch reverts t: him for resale, and (2) she Borees to marry no one else un- Til the loan is repaid with in- terest, Chapter 17 Family Fury Me. CABRILLO'’S eyes rested hopefully on John’s. Then her les sought her daughter’s and hope fled. “I’m sorry you n't let mother know you were home last evening, Constanza,” is murmured, stressing the anish of her name. “I didn’t want to intrude at last moment,” Constance ex- ‘ined. ©“And this morning?” “You were still asleep when I itt the house.” = “You could have left word,” oke from Donna. i “Catch her leaving word,” umbled Don, “she doesn’t work the open.” Constance looked at Don and Wondered what had become of the little fat brother, who had nce punched an older, larger y for tormenting her. She Wished she could find the little y in this sleek young man- about-town. “Your sister has been too busy looking after your good, to be thinking of messages,” John told him. “She’s been raising money to put new life into El Cabrillo Rancho.” A blank silence met this, then Don asked in a husky voice, “You mean ...you mean ee not go- ing to agree to sell... after all this?” “T’ve never said I would agree,” Constance reminded him. “But Good Lord, Connie,” he cried. “1... well, and mother and Donna, we counted on it. You have to. go through with it now; you can’t back out!” “Why?” The very simplicity of her question caught them up into a moment of silence, then Don spoke again. “The publicity. For Heaven’s sake, Con, don’t you know the newspapers have car- ried reams about the sale, and mother and... well, we’ve—” “Borrowed money on the lies you told the newspapers,” stated Constance. “Don’t you say I lied,” Don sprang at her as though he would ‘ike her. “I had reason to be- lieve the deal had gone through Constance thought of the tele. gram he had sent to the Taylors. ‘Oh, Don,” she cried brokenly. Why don’t you grow up. Busi- ess men don't trust the.senders ot anonymous telegrams, | “Business men,” scoffed Don. ‘Don't try to tell me those hicks ut there are business men. Cow asers, that’s all they are.” Constance stared at him a mo- ent. It was useless to try to ex- lain conditions as she had found em on the ranch; to show them ‘would have happened under any other management. “It doesn't matter,” she decided wearily. “John, they'll listen to you. Please tell them what we are for them.” Raskthorne tried. He explained the situation with such clarity that Constance marveled. Out of her scattered comments the pre- vious night and their conference that day, he had woven a con- vincing outline of her plan. ‘A Little Extravagant’ HEN he concluded, Don turn- ed on her. “No one but a damn-fool woman would think of such a stunt ... no, I won't shut up,” he snapped at his mother. “You're afraid of Constance, all of you; you, too, Raskthorne. Well, I'm not! I'm not going to stand by and let her ruin us. I'll take this to court and prove the Test of us have some rights—” “I don’t believe you will, Don,” interposed Raskthorne. “My at- torneys will represent Constance, and aside from the time limita- tion to contest the will being up, they'd force you to show cause why an injunction keeping her from carrying out her plans should be granted. You've done nothing to qualify yourself as a business man. One look at the/ monthly bills I receive at my office, in your name, would stop the suit before it started.” Don evidently recognized the truth in this. “But I'll do some- ee he threatened. he only thing you can do,” advised Raskthorne, “is to take your ppointment like a gen- tlema! “A lot you_know about gentle- men,” flung Don, and strode from the room. “And that goes for me,” Donna, and fled after him, Nadjne Cabrillo sat, cheeks pale under, their delicate rouging. She beld a slim hand out to.Con- Today’s Birthdays prizewinr ter, Minn tric N.Y Pi ittsburg 61 years ago * added | & stance. “I’m sorry I can’t be en- thusiastic about your plan, dear,” she murmured, “but I’ve never liked the ranch, and we were get- ting along so well.

She even smiled when she con fessed, “We are a little extrava- gant, aren’t we? Well, I'll try to talk to Don and Donna and make them see you are trying to help us, only ... they’re going to be so disappointed. We'd made the loveliest plans. Dickey Marable has a beautiful home at Palm Beach and we were going to take it for the season— “John,” she asked in sudden alarm, “you believe Constance is right in this? I mean she won't lose everything for us?” assured her, “and you are pro- tected. I’ll guarantee your share of the sale offer, if she fails.” “Then . . . then good darling. And will you send Min- etta in, I feel a headache coming on.” ‘Not A Cabrillo’ 'ONSTANCE and John left the room in silence, As they neared the library Constance tugged at his sleeve. “Come in a moment. John, I’m sorry Don spoke as he did.” John uated her hand. “He was striking at ou through me. I un- derstood. ner, financially, and doesn’t know how to get out.” Thinking of the ‘car she had seen on the driveway the previ- ous. evening, Constance nodded. I'll buy that for him, she thought. ! I can do that much. “You're going to have a_ busy month, Conchita,” John offered, seeming intent upon changing the trend of her thoughts. “I’m going to take you to some of the biggest up-state dairies, then we'll follow the, milk down through the depots to the creameries, And then we'll make a trip to the livestock mar- ket, and perhaps we'll find some stock shows; this is the time of the year for them. “You know?” he smiled at her confidentially. “I’m getting inter- ested in this myself.” “You're a darling,” pronounced soberly. She held to that thought the entire four weeks that followed. Their long conferences before the hearth, or across some café table, were times of calm, a resuscitat- ing rest‘ from the emotional storm which swirled about her. There was the week in which she sought to compile the family debts and to stand aghast at their total. Mahoney came to her rescue. With cash to her credit, she Constance manded a percentage for pay- ment.
