It was unfortunate that he meant so much to her if Grandmother approved of him too highly. It might make it difficult at the end of the year, to explain why Deborah would be happier without him. And Grandmother in the meantime might think . . . she might expect . . . Deborah moved uneasily. Grandmother was "My dear boy, saying, "I cannot see that there is the ' slightest resemblance between you and your father. You are so much taller than he was, so much more . . . perhaps I mean athletic looking. But perhaps I shouldnt have expected you to look like the Grahams. My husband told me years ago, after he had been East to see you, that you looked very much like your mothers people. A "Did he? the man murmured. number of people have mentioned it I never could see it myself. "And I cannot see it, Grandmother said decidedly. "Your mothers people were very dark. Why, her two brothers were quite swarthy, and 1 never thought of her as being in the I never least fair, or Grandmother could understand said, and stopped. "But of course, she went on hastily, appalled at what she had almost said, "she was a very fine woman, my dear Stuart. I always believed so. "Of course you did. Although you remember would scarcely her, I think? "He doesnt remember her at all, Deborah said quickly. "She died when he was only three, Grandmother. He couldnt possibly remember her. The man looked across the table. His eyes were twinkling, amused. Deborah looked back at him, coolly. It wasnt going to be exactly easy to carry off this situation. But no matter how difficult It might be it was better than marrying Stuart Graham. Anything was better than marrying Stuart Graham. Deborah shut her eyes for a moment as she remembered that other face, dark and angry and sneering. There had been very little dissembling on Stuart Grahams part, even In Mr. Holworthys presence. Apparently it hadnt seemed necessary to him to pretend gentleness and courtesy even' for the few necessary hours. It had been perfectly obvious that he hadnt dreamed for a moment that she could or would refuse to marry him, refuse to go through with the horrible When she did summon up bargain. her courage, after two hours of listening to his talk with Mr. Holworthy, when the words sprang to her lips and she heard herself saying in a queer cold little voice that she could never marry him no matter what happened, he had been terrible. He had called .her prudish, Ignorant, insane. Grandmother wouldnt have believed ... clear-skinne- k d. An Immortal Oration WNO Servic "Wees it, couldnt have believed it, if she had been told. It would have killed her to bring Stuart Graham here and let her see him as he was. She and Grandfather had told themselves for years that in a miserably unhappy world one star would always shine as bright as the sun; no matter what happened, the Grahams were .gentlemen. Perhaps they were, by birth and tradition, but they didnt always act as gentlemen In books acted. Gary had guessed what might happen. He hadnt been so sure of the Grahams after all. Deborah remembered his words as he had helped her into the rickety wagon down at their neighbors farm, when he was hurrying her off so that he could go back to Grandmother, alone on the mountain. He had tucked the dust-covaround her and stepped back ; and then, suddenly, he had come up close, his old face worn and troubled, and he had said, "If you dont like him, Miss Deborah, dont you have anything to do with him. Well get along some way. If you dont like his looks, dont you do it Well just look around for another way." This was the other way. The tall young man at the head of the table, willing to sell his gentlemanly appearance, his good manners, his smiles, for a year for fifty thousand dollars. Of course, since one must be fair and just, he had not been considering his own opportunities there In Mr. Holworthys office, not just at first After Deborah had stood up and told Stuart in that strange voice that she couldnt possibly marry him, after she had repeated It again and again and made him see that she meant It, he had been in a wild rage. It was then that he had said such horrible things to her. His words had come out In such a torrent that Mr. Holworthy couldnt stop them. After a moment Deborah had run away, into an outer office, anywhere to escape from Stuart so Graham, of coarse, so thick-lippe- d and bold. But Stuart had followed her. Stuart was a bully. He was still talking to her, pushing himself directly between her and the door, between her and freedom, when this quiet young man with the steady gray eyes had risen from a chair and faced him. He stopped his loud talking and began to mutter. But Bryn hadnt moved, except that his arm came straight up, and his fist hit Stuart under the chin with a terrific crash, and Stuart had crumpled to the floor. "Deborah, my darling, what is the matter? Grandmother said suddenly. "You are quite pale! Deborah "Nothing, Grandmother," answered, and managed a smile. "Its rather a long trip up from San Francisco when youre not accustomed to motoring, the man said. "And Its very hot in the Sacramento valley In June. "I am sure It must have been tryGrandmother said, still looking ing, at her tenderly. There was something new and solicitous In her expression. Now that our greatest problem Is loud-voice- d, Cat Has There Is Now No Prince of Wales - calif.Beverly hills, has a rotten trick solved, surely we can make a real change In our way of living. "What do you mean? Deborah asked quickly. Oh, so many things, dear. Grandmother leaned forward. We must furbish ourselves up, for one thing. We are becoming quite careless as to our ways of living. Ive been feeling guilty about It for a long time, but Ive been so worried about Deborah that nothing else seemed of any particular Importance. But now I feel, she finished briskly, that we must have two or three extra servants at once, have the grounds put In order, have the electric plant repaired . . But Deborah said faintly, and stopped. But what, my darling? Would yon not like to see the house filled with young company, with music, with life? To have a host of pretty new clothes? "We dont know anyone to fill the house with, Deborah protested miserably. Stuart does, Grandmother said with confidence. "He told me only a few moments ago that he had a great many friends In San Francisco. Grandmother She smiled. "Now, Deborah, of course we should not ask anyone for some time, my dear. You and Stuart must have a month or two of your own, first But during that time the house and grounds can be taken care of; they have been neglected so long it will be quite an undertaking. Since your grandfather wished that we should spend a year here after your marlage, I think we must try and make it a happy year, and in it prepare you as best we can to mingle in society when we emerge at last from our retreat. I never want to go away from here, Deborah cried, "never, never "Why, Deborah! Grandmother said In surprise. "Stuart, the dear child Is quite overwrought Of course you will go away from here, my dear, you and Stuart. The whole world is before Am I not right Stuart? You you. would not be satisfied to spend all your life here? He hesitated, but only for a fraction of a second. Then, "Im not at all sure that I shouldnt be, if Deborah were to be here, he said. Deborah Jumped from her chair. Her Was that necessary?" eyes flashed. she asked him bitterly. Grandmother stood up too, a slight small figure in her gray. "What do you mean? she asked in a still cold voice. Oh! Deborah began, and stopped. "Nothing, she said slowly. "I am . . . I think overwrought. Grandmother. I will go and rest for a little. "Of course, dear, she answered, relieved. Of course. I understand. Go along, then . . . and your things are in the silver rooms In the south wing. "The silver rooms? Deborah repeated. Involuntarily her startled eyes fell to the mans and gray and violet clung together. Deborahs cheeks began to burn. She looked away.
