I didn’t think,” she said. “We were all friends. Anyway, we nore don't look at things like that the wey you men do. I haven't the slightest doubt it was harmless enough.” Brant managed a grin that was ly a reflection of his feelings, Actually he was worried about John and Ella Macfarlane, who had influenced his life so pro- foundly and so differently. John Macfarlane, the rugged, two-fisted Aghter who had battled his way to the head of his busi- without asking aid or quar- ter from anyone, had found time all along the way to help the other fellow. Andy had been in @ military school in Wisconsin when a forest fire trapped his mother and father in their sum- mer cabin. After that, Macfar- lane had devoted as much time to settling the affairs of the Brant Lumber Company, and giving the orphaned boy a start in the world, he had to running his own Red k Paper Company. Mac was a and man and a loyal friend— 00 gtand and too loyal to be hurt if Andy could prevent it. And Mac was so deeply in love with the dark-haired girl who come up from Grand Rapids to be his secretary that nothing short of tragedy could come from such an affair as Carol had hinted at. That knowledge had troybled Brant before this, not because he had ever suspected Ralston Crane was seeing too much of Ella, but because he knew that he himself was think- ime too much about her. lia Morgan had been Brant’s fiancee once. They had fallen in love when both were students at Michigan State, and later it was Brant who had persuaded her to come to Red Rock to work for Macfarlane. But soon after her arrival, Brant had gone away to learn the newspaper business, and as he became immersed in the problems of beginning his chosen career his visits and letters had grown few and far between. He was awakened too late to the extent of his neglect and its sequences. Ella's last letter, telling him that she was going to be married to Macfarlane, had reached him a year ago. Since then Brant had known no peace when he thought of her—which was every day of his life.... But he grinned at Carol, and said scoffingly, “What's eating you? It's a good thing you di mention it, You reminded me of | The Weather FORECAST Key West and Vicinity: Partly cloudy, slowly rising tempera- ture, today, tonight and Wednes- day.

That would put two hundred men on the town.” He lifted the phone from his desk. When the operator came on he said, “Hi, oni give me the paper mill.” Then he said, “What do you make those wires of, anyway? Spaghetti?” And hung up. “Line down?” Quarfield in- quired. He nodded. “Half the phones in town are out, and the rest are foing fast. Trunk lines, too. [’l] ave to walk to the mill. If I don't come back, look for me when the snow melts.” “If I do survive,” he told Caro), lightly, “I'll meet you across the street for dinner.’ [t was a struggle pulling the door shut behind him, then the wind took his breath away, It was only 4:30 and darkness had not yet fallen, but it was impos- sible to see more than a few yards through the swirling white curtain, Before he reached the first cor- ner the cold had pznetrated his heavy clothing, but he hardly noticed it in the heat of his thoughts as they dwelt on Ralston Crane, TOJO ON STAND THE REY WEST CiTIZEN RY pre REE IRR a me nee ame Shroud | By DON CAMERON Crane lived at the Northland Hotel, across the street from the Reporter office, Brant, who also stayed there, had thought him a misfit in this rawboned country, Crane was a city man, in his thirties, graceful and handsome in a rather effeminate way, He drank at all the bars, but after ithe fourth or fifth drink became surly and unfriendly, He gambled good deal in the back of Gene Giebb's poolroom, where poker ames were held regularly, and fad earned a reputation as an overbearing winner and a bad loser, Apparently Crane knew noth- ing about the art. of turning spruce logs into paper, whic made it hard to understand why Macfarlane had brought him north two months ago to be his assistant at the mill. [t was even harder for Brant to understand how a girl like Ella could arrive at a degree of intimacy with Crane that would permit her to walk with him at night and weep upon his shoulder, The 5 o'clock whistle at the mil) was a wailing siren in the gale. Dorothy Clay, receptionist and switchboard operator, was buck- ling on her overshoes when Brant entered the office. . “Sey the word,” she invited, “and I'll elope to Cuba with you tonight.” He glanced at her plump legs. “It would be worth it to see you in ‘a bathing suit. But first— where’s Mac?” ho “He's around somewhere. Try the mill,” : , He went out. As he stepped into the open space between the mill and the office building he was struck by the full force of the storm off the lake, sweeping across terrain that was bare of trees and houses. It all but knocked him off his feet, and for a moment he shrank back in the office doorway. Huddled there, he saw two figures emerge from a watchman’s shack near the railroad spur and race for a distant door of the mill, Blurred as his vision was, he rec ognized the white-jacketed, white-capped figure of Ella Mac, farlane, as he would have recog- nized it anywhere, under any conditions, And he knew the man with her, in the fur-collared leather jacket and scarlet hunt- ing cap, was Ralston Crane. They disappeared into the mill, Crane in the lead. Ella was cling- ing to his arm, literally being dragged by him, unmistakably trying with all her slender might to hold him back.
