Everything I have told you, Hector replied. I see, Bruce said quietly. "Did you tell her?

She called here the next morning I think on her way to visit the Parrs. That was on her first visit, wasnt it? I believe it was," Hector told him. It must have been, Bruce said.

When the children had lugged the sheep out of the house and had gone romping into the yard, Autumn seated herself beside the kitchen table and Mrs. Willmar went on cutting out the cookies with the cover of a baking-powde- r can. Tom says youll be leaving us soon again, Miss Autumn, she said Mo-mo- quietly. Not for another two weeks or so," Autumn told her. There is a lot to do with straightening everything up In a place like this." Ah, dearl I dont know what were going to do! Autumn glanced quickly at her and saddened. Tom Willmars wife little woman who was a wistful-eyehad won her way back to health when she had come to live here ten years ago. The Dean ranch tad meant life itself to her. And now the fear of being ousted from her contentment and her modest security haunted her eyes. Tve been wanting to talk to you about that, Mrs. Willmar, Autumn said gently. The woman turned her face toward her in an utter hopelessness tnat wrung Autumns heart, Talking about it wont change anything. I'm afraid, Miss Autumn," she replied resignedly. Snyder was talking to Tom last night in town. Hes a hard man, that Snyder." What was he saying, Mrs. Autumn asked. Tom told him hed like to stay on here it's been home to us for over ten years now. But Snyder says his clients, as he calls them, have plans of their own and there wont be any more place for us here. Autumn clasped her hands in her lap. For days, ever since the evening of her last conference with conSnyder and the men who were sidering the purchase of the ranch with all its stock and equipment, her mind had dwelt almost constantly upon the WiHmars, and Hannah, and poor old Absolom reck, and the d Will-mar- ? others who had given their years of faithful service to Jarvis Dean. At the outset of her negotiations with Snyder, Autumn had supposed that her father's old dependents would remain where they were and go about their work as they had always done. Hannah, of course, would have to be looked after, but Autumn had already resolved to take her along with her and make her remaining years as comfortable as she could in the service of Aunt Flo. Snyder had been as diplomatic as possible. He was anxious to complete the sale without delay and in a manner that would be quite satisfactory to both parties to the transfer. When Autumn had expressed her wish that the staff should remain to carry on the work, Snyder had been unwilling to commit himself. His clients, of course, would have plans of their own. He would do what he could, certainly, to bring them to accept her suggestion. In the end. Autumn had refused to put her name to anything until the point was satisfactorily settled. The transaction had been delayed and Snyder had been annoyed. Autumn looked at the pitifully brave smile on the face of Mrs. Willmar. This little woman was only one of that small community of souls who, with the toil of their hands and the unquestioning courage of their spirits, had brought to this valrichness and ley. And now that community was to be disrupted, flagrantly, ruthlessly, with no thought of the injustice that was being done to these humble people whose loyalty to Jarvis Dean was no part of the bargain that Snyder was making. In that brief moment Autumn looked inward upon herself and saw that in her pampered life she had taken these honest folk for granted, just as carelessly she had taken for granted the substantial revenue from her fathers estate. Here was a heritage from the past which she had not recognized. I know, Mrs. Willmar," Autumn said at last. Mr. Snyder is being very difficult about it though, of course, he is not altogether free to He must meet do as he chooses. the wishes of his clients. But they will never find anyone better than Tom to manage this place. I have told them so." Theres precious little comes of telling people what they dont want to hear, Miss Autumn, Mrs. Willmar replied. I know, Autumn said. But 1 dont want you to worry. If the worst comes to the worst, I shall see to it that you and Tom have a good position before I leave." Mrs. Willmar had placed the cookies in a pan and turned now to put them into the oven. When she straightened again, she looked at Autumn with a small, sad smile. Thats awfully kind of you, Miss But you Autumn," she said. shouldnt trouble yourself about us, really. We shall get along somehow. And it isnt so much a question of where well go as it is just our leaving here. The Laird was always too kind to us, I guess. He he spoiled us. No other place will ever seem like home to me. You see, I got my health back here and my two youngest were born in this cottage. It makes a kind of difference to know that were leaving home. Leaving home! The words cut across Autumns heart with a cruel import The woman could never guess what they meant to her, of course. she cried. Oh, Mrs. Willmar! If you only knew how how terribly I understand!" She was on the point of saying more, but suddenly, utterly bewildered by the complexities of her own feelings, she got up and went to the little woman and threw an arm impulsively about her shoulders. Ive talked too much, Mrs. Willmar said, the tears starting to her eyes. Im glad you have." Autumn said But I dont want you to quickly. worry about it any more. I know it will work out, somehow, for the best. There was little comfort In that, Autumn thought, but words were so futile, after all. Mrs. Willmar hastily dabbed at her eyes. I'm behaving badly. Im afraid, Miss Autumn," she said brokenly. Ive no right to carry on this way. Its not proper, at all. Autumn Proper, fiddlesticks! replied. She turned suddenly and looked out of the door where the were at some children and Mo-mI'll have to game in the yard. run along now, Mrs. Willmar," She opened the door and then looked back at the foremans wife. Those cookies smell awfully good. Do you suppose you could have one of the children sneak some of them past Hannah for me? Mrs. Willmar smiled. "We might try, she said. A little later, when Autumn slipped in through a side door of the Castle, she surprised Hannah in the small sitting room in the act of wiping her eyes with the corner of a dust cloth. Hannah straightened severely and contrived a cheery smile which in no wise deceived Autumn. well-bein- o g Hannah! she reproved. What'a the use of carrying on like this? Hannah flicked the cloth indignantWho ly over the rungs of a chair. is carrying on? Not me! she denied vigorously. Autumn gave her a narrow look, then went into the drawing room where she seated herself at the piano, thinking to break the heavy enchantment of the house with the sound of the melodies she loved best. But after a random bar or two her hands fell dismally away from the keys and she stared from the windows into the garden, her spirits sinking under the burden that had lain upon her for almost a week. Uppermost in her mind, above all the questions that arose out of her perplexity, was one thought that bore constantly upon her mind. Hector Cardigan had told her about the evening Bruce had spent with him, when he had unfolded the past, withholding nothing of the story of Geoffrey Landor and Millicent Dean. Autumn had lived through four days of unspeakable suspense, hoping for some gesture from Bruce, some sign of his relenting toward her. At last, in utter despair of ever hearing from him, she had turned her mind toward preparations for her departure. Her resolution to leave all behind her and begin life anew might be both cowardly and selfish, but to her defeated spirit there seemed no other way. Late in the afternoon, when it seemed no longer possible to cope with her problems, Autumn went to the rose garden to spend an hour with her own thoughts among her mothers flowers. She had been there only a few moments when Hannah called to her from the bouse. Youre wanted on the telephone, Miss Autumn, Hannah told her as she came up the porch steps. Is it Mr. Snyder?" Autumn breath-takin- the with asked, ever-recurrin- hope that this, at last, g might be Bruce calling. I dont know. It didnt sound like him though I dont hear like I once could. Autumn went to the telephone and picked up the receiver. The voice was Florian Parrs. He had just come back from his business trip to Vancouver and insisted on Autumns returning with him to Kelowna. He had talked with Linda on the telephone, he said, and it was her fervent wish to have Autumn down for a day or two so that she might meet Lindas new fiance. Besides, Linda was planning to go to Europe on her honeymoon. There would be plans to discuss with Autumn. Id love it, Florian," Autumn said impulsively, glad at the prospect of any relief from the depression that had weighed upon her all Fashion Designed For Large Women STAGEnSCREENMDIO By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) f OVIE stars who dont a turn at radio are scarcer than hens teeth these days.

She left the telephone with a sudden feeling of relief. Florian was a good sort, after all. After telling Hannah her plans to go to Kelowna for a couple of days, Autumn hurried upstairs,' took a refreshing cold shower, and proceeded to dress with an attentiveness to her appearance which had, in times past, helped to brace her flagging morale. Presently she stood back from her pier glass and surveyed herself. The past few weeks had taken their toll; her eyes looked frightened and too large in the hollow pallor of her face; the backward clustering of her hair seemed too heavy for her head. And this severely tailored suit of white linen, smart though it was with its mannish silk blouse, gave her an almost ascetii look.
