| OYESTERDA! ‘that iy in Mrs, = bury’s impromptu houseparty at % co-ed eortind. ‘woe body believes in ghosts, yet the caretaker insists he has seen them. Nobody believes in sinister murderers, but Ham and Eve have been shot at. Nobody ‘be- eves in underhanded: doings, yet Brett and Eve find the supposedly dilapidated boathouse in very good repair, And now Brett and Bove find Lawyer Howe hel his assistant, Jim Droissard, up- stairs after an injury.

Jacksons did it,” » Said Brett Rodman thqughifully, - “In a spot like that, they might have got hurt themselves.” “They wouldn’t if they knew just where to step,” Droissard “contradicted quickly. “That isn’t the door the Jacksons use most of the time,” he added, “They go out through the side door, I came that way only because ! was on the other side of the island.” “I do hope your arm isn’t bro- ken,” Eve said, sounding more | distressed than Jim. “TH bandage it,” the lawyer said, epg bis employee up the stairs. Jim Droissard turned to go, | but his resentful mumble was | elear to them in the hall below. “Anyway, I tell you it wasn’t an! accident. It was a fix.” Almost A Quarrel ‘HERE was a council of war the next morning. As they gath- ered in the dining room and made @ pretense of eating, they eyed one another with some disfavor, with the exception of Brett Rod- man, who did not look at anyone at all. .Even Gina’s attempts to sound him out on the faet that the plane might yet come—made when the dacksons had left the room— brought nothing but non-¢ommit- tal answers. Yet when Mr, Howe suggested that they all walk out to the beach, where there might *«be a small amount of privacy, Brett agreed readily enough. He was beside Eve as the party walked down to the shore. She did not know whether he had cho- sen this place by accident or de- sign, and his lack of apparent interest in her, or in any. of the company, gaye no clue. Instead, he seemed to be studying the house, turning from time to time to glance back at where its gabled ener belied the anxiety they all elt. The storm had cleared during she night, but there was still a wind that ruffled the surface of the water, and slapped the wet branches of the rnododendrons against their faces, But even when Brett, turning unexpectedly, found the wet leaves impossible | to duck, he put them aside a gcrente without rancor. His rrowr. was directed, it seemed to Eve, more at the straggling com- any ahead of them, than at the ait shrubbery through: which they walked. Finally. she could | no longer stand it. ¥ ou. hate us so en?" she dca ee Care we spoiling a sale for you—just because there are so Many of us to be frightened? I suppose if only Mrs. Marbury and her niece were here, you could easily have fall jaya away these odd happenings.” He looked at her and, for the first time, Eve saw him off guard. He did not look formidable or even sulky, at ‘the moment. In- stead, his expression was as youthfully bewildered as her own might have been. y There was something else, too, in his face—a sudden awareness that she was trying to hurt him that made her almost sorry she had spoken. But the next minute, his face settled into its accus- tomed stern lines, and he spoke, as usual, without looking directly at her. ‘ “Tt would be easier to make a gale—as you so charmingly put it —if there were fewer people about. However, 1 would like to remind you that I am not con- cerned with ‘the sale. My only in- terest 4 Jn sentoring 38 PES a“ it should be. But of ¢ 2 sate not bien in this.” He stopped abruptly. S ut of course I am,” Eve con- tradicted sweetly. “T'm still wait- ing for an answer, remember? You said you were not interested in the sale per se, but you can’t do the restoration without making the sale, Ge you?” “Why not? : His words were like the flick of a whip and Eve, who had been momentarily ashamed of herself for badgering the man, revert suddenly to her tsual resentment of his manner. She started to ex- plain, belatedty, but his voice cut across her_words. Y: The gg hd Place. But until Mrs, Marbu: ) t ry de- sides against it, the place is hers. I'm not worried about whether or not T'll have an ng eed to work on it, There is always a market for a house as beautiful and charming as this one.” | Eve tried to think.of one devas- tating sentence, but they were al- veady at the beach, and was calling them inio a tight cir- ee Stn could only er ad head in air join. » as if she'd tound Brett tiresome as a companion, _ But her mind was busy search- ing for a possible retort, and she seareely heard the discussion swirling about her, She absorbed just enough to realize that each of the men had decided to sit up in the living room for three hours, in order to make sure that there would be no return of the marauder who had shot at her and Ham the night be- fore. The next minute Ham called to his dog and started off down the beach. Gina followed them, leaving Brett, still scowling, sit- ting alone, Eve forced herself to walk over to him. sane ad she ee coolly, “you might act human. ff I thou: took a lot of mone: mS ple friendly and pleasant, I'd cer- world. But I've noticed that most people who are pleasant, are that way in spite of their worldly goods, And those who, aren’t—are Just naturally bent on belhe ge agreeable.” ae wanted to make it, and yBr seemed obviously bewilde: & her attack, But Eve, without wail ing, walked over to where Julie stood looking out to sea, thinking, Eve knew, of the small but com- fortable apartment they had left in New York. Perhaps Brett did not — or would not—-understand at the mo- ment. But later, when he,thought it over, he would know that she, for one, considered his lofty, con- temptuous air completely silly. There was a little satisfaction in that. “Have you a fever?” Julie in- quired absently. “Your color is so high, dear. Perhaps you’d better go to the house and lie down.” ~ “Tm perfectly all right,” Eve said with some dignity, feeling that the whole world was against her at the moment. “T just wanted to know if I could borrow your hand mirror. The sun may come out later today, end perhaps I could send some signals, I’ve heard of people doing that.” It had been an inspiration of the moment, but when Julie agreed, and later when she spoke te Gina about the idea, Eve her- self became enthusiastic. About Love wt EN they returned to the house, the two girls went out on the second-fleor porch with the mirror and waited for the sun to appear. It was a fitful day, and the sun, although it peeves through occasionally from behind the driving clouds that chased fickle companion, During the periods while they waited for a favorable moment, Eve hesitantly broached the sub- ject of Hamilton Miiliard. “He seems awfully nice, Gina,” she began, feeling that this was a particularly inadequate way to bring up the subject. “He—he'’s quiet,” she persisted, “but I don’t believe anyone in the world ever adored a person as he does you, his life, I do believe, when he isn’t thinking of you, and wonder- ing if he can’t make you happy.” “Oh—Ham's a good sort,” Gina agreed lazily. “Get set now, Eve. The sun is coming out. Here it ist another one of those raean little clouds.” firmly, looking at Gina’s silky hair blowing in the wind, and won- dering how it was she came to be giving advice to someone whom she would never have dared to |speak to a month before. ‘I'm talking about Ham,” Eve went on, “and you’re going to listen. He’s a very nice boy, Gina, and if you don’t care for him, do ig to send him packing, I mean Tee “Mother Wisdom herself!” Gina derided. “This sounds kind of stupid when you put it into words”—she hesitated and began over again—“What I mean_ is, the way I look at it. There’s the kind that usually never append It's—it’s sort of wild and adven- turous and terribly happy all at —the kind that mothers always and happy in a way, | suppose.” “I gather you mean that Ham's love is the second kind,” Eve said. “And it isn’t fair to him.” did not want.to agree. with Gina and yet she admitted to herself that she'did agree. “But it isn’t fair to Ham,” Eve protested feebly. Gina's eyes, how- ever, had lost their dreaminess and her retort was more in her old manner, : “Ham will keep for a while. But before I say yes definitely, I want to know that kind of love. Don’t be shocked, ed | Eve. If I do marry Ham he'll have nothing to complain about the rest of his life. But I just want to be sure that I can’t have—well, all the glory and high adyenture “Tf can do the decarating even first.” i To be continued if the King of Siam buys the Two river basins— the Amazon The U.S. navy increased its) the La Plata—comprise about | personnel from 158,814 to 250,000 | three-fifths of Brazi!’s total area." in 1940. r.
