WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1941 MEMORY OF THE MOON ‘by Jeanne Bowman YESTERDAY: Pedro tells Con- stance the only explanation he will avcept is immediate mar- viage. He doesn’t wait to hear the reasons for her refusal. The next day:the milking suffers be- cause the hands celebrated too well, Chapter 27 ‘Old Sour Puss’ J* DEVELOPED that Lamson knew something of cows. He could “strip” them, and he could watch the milker in one barn. Constance could watch another and keep records for the three barns, watch the milk troughs and, by using Pancho, could see that the lone sober man on the ranch didn’t fall asleep and let the cans overflow at the depot. It was nine o’clock when Lam- son, donning his coat and hat, saw Constance riding back to the barns. Lamson was in high feather. He had stripped. He had mixed feed. He had tossed hay. He had sung “coo bossy” to his heart's content. Constance, disheveled, angry and distressed, found Pedro wait- ing with him. “You're right in one thing,” Pedro, conceded. “You can trust this man. He’s worth a dozen Ca- brillos.” Lamson smiled happily as Pe- dro rode off. “A fine young man, Conchita,” he murmured. “H’about those keys. Juliano took them from your desk for Master Don. H’I took the liberty of telling Mis- ter Taylor.” They rode quietly back to the ganch house. Constance was thinking. “This is a foretaste.” She thought: “worth a dozen Ca- brillos.” She was a Cabrillo, but 80 was Donna. The weird whistle of a work train in the hills of El Cabrillo echoed and re-echoed. She thought: “Saturday Donna will ride a train; ride through the rib- bon barrier of El Cabrillo; Donna ‘who pares nothing for El Cabrillo. Why? What's wrong with me?” arrived at the ranch to find Don already in his car, “Hi, Connie, I'm on My way to Beachport, anything you want ne shook her head. “No. But I want the keys to the wine cellar and I don’t want them taken from my desk without my permission.” And she told him what had oc- curred, Don looked at her angrily. “Who in the devil owns this non he demanded. “Those | eys belong to mother and Donna and me as much as they do to you, remember that. And those men are as much under our di- rection as yours—” “They are under the manager,” Constance reminded him. “We'll see,” retorted Don, “I’m going to need those musicians over the week end, so if you have any of the poor devils milking cows, find someone to take their places. I'm off to buy a station wagon and get some lights in this “Don,” Constance cried, can't afford lights and . Don corrected. “Old sour puss.” And he was off. Comstance sought her mother. Mrs. Cabrillo was still in. bed a maribou jacket, fire in the hearth, and yellow sunshine streaming in through the windows, all warm- ing and glorifying her. “Chita, good morning.” she greeted. “Dear, I believe I'm go- | ing to like it here.” | Constance watched Juanita, Juliano’s granddaughter, come in with a tray, watched her rapt ad- miration of the sefiora and un-| derstood.

She had worked a great hardship on everyone from the Taylors, the Cabrillos, John, the employees, down to herself. And for what? “Sefiorita Conchita,” Dolores rapped on the door, “the Sefior John iss wait breakfast with you.” John was waiting in the patio, a warm, sunny spot. John’s greet- ing was as warm and cheering. “Lamson told me you'd been too busy for breakfast,” he explained, “so I waited.” had waited. Would he never iting? te her depression she was anc th food and hot coffee her spirits revived. “I suppose you're wondering why I intruded,” John observed, as he lighted her after-breakfast cigaret. “I felt you'd need some- one here to handle things for you. The Taylors alone are enough for a little girl, but the Taylors and the family combined—” Constance leaned back in her chair. “You still feel that the Taylors are enemies?” John looked at her sharply. “Don’t you?” he countered. “T've bad no reason to think so.” “I have,” he said_ earnestly. “The old man practically told me last night, that he had stayed on because he thought ‘you couldn't pull through and ‘he’d buy in when you failed. “The young fellow, believes in taking an easier route, He couldn’t get you, so now he’s trying for Donna. He’s taken her on a tour of the place already. They rode out a little while ago... that is.” ‘he qualified. “Donna rode out to meet him someplace, she didn’t say where.” “Donna, up at this hour?” Con- stance wondered why her heart felt dead, a heavy burden in her breast. John laughed. “And looking like something off a dude ranch poster—” Dispute Over Pancho ENORITA!” The patio door “opened and the stableboy stood there, Donna behind him. “Am 1 to saddle Pancho for thees young lady?” Constance didn’t know the cause of her revolt. One thought flashed through her mind; one question, was Donna to take everything that belonged to her? “You are to saddle Pancho for no one but me,” she snapped; and to Donna, “Pancho is mine, and no other person on this ranch is going to ride him.” Donna flashed into the patio. “He’s not yours. He's no more yours than mine or Don’s or mother’s. You don’t own this place and you don’t own anything on it, alone. I'll ride Pancho. . . Juliano,” she called to the major- domo who had appeared as though he'd been waiting for such a call. and this... will you?” Juliano gave Constance one triumphant glance as he passed to follow Donna to the stables. “It would seem,” observed John whimsically, “that you own only one-fourth of Pancho.” Constance looked at him with unseeing eyes. In her mind was a marble shaft, cofying Heaven, and at the base was cut the phrase: —“You win what you fight for.” “John, I must attend to some business; can you amuse yourself for an hour or so?” She didn’t wait for an answer. She ran through the patio gate and up the hill to come face to with Pedro. Here was her chance to unburden her heart; her goldén opportunity to explain. She looked at his expressionless face and the anger of the morning relied. into’ a bafrier between them, She hated him, “Your newest victim will’ meet you at your rendezyous ‘immedi- ately,” she informedjhim, bitterly.

Topping the Key West Arena’s inaugural card, the lightweights made it a savage and grueling battle from bell to bell and Syl- vester was hanging helpless or the ropes when it was over. Twice, in the fifth and eighth, Bobby dropped his jab- bing tactics and knocked the Mexican to the edge of oblivion with swinging rights. The first time, he sent Jiminez sagging to the canvas wth a smashing right to the body and staggered him with a straight shot to. the jaw, but in the eighth it was the Me: can who weathered the storm of leather and came swinging back to drape the Key West boy over the ropes in a flurry of punches. That was as far as Bobby was and badly beaten of 10 two-minute the prepared to go, and in the ninth! and tenth he took a brutal beat- ing. Jiminez, bobbing and weav- {ing, would slide past Sylvester’s long left and then rip his body with a two-handed attack that sent him staggering into the ropes. At the end, Jiminez, himself from a cut behind the ear, had ripped open an old wound over Sylvester’s eye and was shooting in punches so fast the Key Wester could only turn away and let them come. The cold-faced little slugger from Mexico City fought a meth- odical, unchanging battle from start to finish. Working from a deep crouch, he would slide under the rangier ‘\boy’s jab, then hammer his body with short, snappy punches that traveled almost faster than eye could follow. Twice, Syl- vester went down for nine counts, but neither was a clean knock- down, and Jiminez slipped to the canvas twice, himself. Both fighters weighed in at 136. Sylvester, who has been fighting from Miami, gave his home and birthplacejas Key West.
