He tells her that she should not have come home, that things have changed. Arriving home at the "Castle of the Norns." she is greeted lovingly by her father. Jarvis Dean, who gives her to understand that she is welcome for a short visit. Her mother, former belle named Millicent Odell, has been dead for years. Autumn cannot understand her father's attitude, though gives him to understand that she Is home for good. Her father gives a welcoming dance at the castle. Autumn meets Florian Parr, dashing, young man of the countryside. Late in the evening Autumn leaves the dance, rides horseback to the neighboring ranch where she meets Bruce Landor. friend and champion of her childhood days. He takes her to see his mother, an invalid. His father is dead, thought to have killed himself. As soon as his mother ses Autumn she commands Bruce to take her away, that death follows in the wake of the Odells. Autumn is both saddened and perplexed. Bruce, apologetic, can offer no reason for his mother's attitude. Autumn calls again on Hector Cardigan this time to find out the reason for Mrs. Landor's outburst. From his conversation she inferred that Geoffrey Landor killed himself because he loved Millicent Dean, her mother. Meanwhile, Bruce Landor rides to the spot where his father's body was found years before. There he meets Autumn. Autumn and he talk of their families. They agree that her mother and his father loved each other deeply and that their love is the cause of present antagonism. Florian Parr, at She refuses him. The next day the castle for dinner, proposes to Autumn. Autumn meets Bruce in a herder's cabin. There they declare their love for each other, and determine to stand together against everyone who might come between them. Autumn tells her father that she is going to marry Bruce. She is aghast to see his reaction, and is agonized to hear him whisper that Geoffrey Landor did not take his own life. He tells her the story. Millicent, his wife, and Geoffrey Landor had fallen in love with each other. But Millicent would not break her marriage vows. Meeting Landor one day In a secluded spot. Jarvis Dean was forced to fight with him. Landor is accidentally killed by his own gun. Autumn knows then that everything is ended between Bruce and herself. net dinner gown, with turquoise drops at her ears. "You're lovely," Linda said sim ply, and slipped her arm through Autumn's as they went together to join the others. On the portico Florian met them with tall frosted glasses in his hands and led Autumn to one of the high- backed, deeply cushioned bamboo chairs. "I thought you'd never come back," he said. "I knew I shouldn't have let you get into Lin's clutches. From now on you re mine. He went and got his own glass and d returned and seated himself on the floor at her side. "How lovely this is!" Autumn murmured, as her gaze drifted out over the tessellated valley. "It has never been really quite perfect before," Florian said in a voice that was flushed with a sort of urgency. Autumn lowered her lids in the quick pain the words brought her. She bit her lips in vexation at her own feeble will, her inability to put Bruce out of mind, cleanly and definitively. She must play up now or be lost, she thought desperately. "You are too free with your compliments, Florian," she said wearily. "You mustn't turn my head." She looked across at Linda as she spoke. The girl had seated herself on the porch swing, her shapely legs hoisted above her and her feet "Can't say I blame him, either," Linda added.

Lin thinks a bobtail flush is a breed of dog." She laughed at Autumn, drained her glass and went into the house to prepare for dinner. "Filthy!" Linda flung after her as she disappeared. "Blame yourself for it," Florian said. "You always get the worst of it when you run into Elinor. Here's Dad and Tim." The two men came up the steps as he spoke. J.

He greeted Au tumn with a vigorous handshake. "Well, I'm damned if this isn't a pleasure!" he boomed. "So this is Millicent's girl! Well, well and a fine young filly she is, too. Eh, Florian?" "Don't I get in on this?" asked narrow-minded,- " Timo- thy assured Autumn. "My only kck against the world is that there are g too many women in it, regardless of coloring. A man can't get around to them all." "Timothy does his best," Linda jibed from her place on the swing. "But what did your pater mean by keeping you tied up over there in the Old Country all these years?" the elder Parr enquired. "He probably thought it was for my own good," Autumn returned. "But I'm awfully glad to be back home again." "Hell, yes! I should think so!" Elliot declared heartily. "There's no room over there for a girl like you. You want space to move around in, eh?" He turned away to enter the house. "Well, make yourself at home, my dear. Your mother had many a good time in this house." He disappeared through the doorway as he spoke and Timothy took up the conversation as he poured a cocktail and seated himself. "Well, I've laid a substantial bet against your chances in the game tomorrow, Florian," he said. "Alex Campbell seems to think you ought to win." "Alex is a wise bird," Florian retorted. "We ought to nick them for a margin of three goals, at. least." "Not with young Hutchinson back in the " Timothy argued. iic u nue you into tne ground. "You haven't a chance, Florian," Linda put in.

"You might turn it and look at me," Florian ventured. "Don't let him fuss you, Autumn," Linda said. "He always gets complimentary on a couple of silver fizzes." Autumn smiled and looked out upon the panorama that lay below them. The Colonial mansion of the Parrs stood on a bluff overlooking the long crystalline mirror of Lake Okanagan. From the columned portico one could look down, in spring, upon a sea of bloom, the white, pink, and deeper pink froth of thousands of fruit trees in flower, apple, peach, cherry and pear. And beyond the rosy nacre of the orchards lay the long blue shaft of the lake, vanishing behind misty headlands on the north and south. Here, in the ample security of their the Parrs had lived for years, a and pleasure-lovinlusty, family whose brilliant exploits had become colorful legend in the countryside. It was the boast of J. Elliot Parr that at the age of sixty he could still show his son Florian a point or two at polo, and that a fencing foil was still sweet in his hand. Certain people with a spiteful turn of mind might say that it was not surprising that Mrs. Parr had given up the ghost long ago. but that was neither here nor there so far, at least, as the younger generation of Parrs was concerned. Florian's dog, a d Irish setter, came bounding up the steps and laid his head wistfully on Autumn's lap. "You dear old fellow!" she said, pulling the dog's sleek ears. "How friendly he is!" "Case of loved by me, loved by my dog," Florian said, getting up and setting his glass aside. He proffered Autumn his cigarette case. "What's his name, Florian?" Autumn asked, helping herself to a cigarette. "Tantivy," Florian told her. "He's adorable." "You may have half of him," Florian replied, "whenever you say the word." "I wish someone would bargain for half of Elinor's hound," Linda remarked. "Lord, how I hate that beast." "Has Elinor got one, too?" Autumn asked. "She has," Florian told her. "It's an English bull and he eats anyfond of griffons." thingvery As he spoke, Elinor came up the slope from the orchards, her lugubrious-faced bulldog at her heels.
