She said, Im sorry youre taking it this way . . . Ill take it any way I please. And get this. You, I dont like you butting into my affairs.

His cheeks were white, but his step was steady and not too fast He shoved his broad shoulders s through the front door. stopped. Within the Bon Ton there was an air of hushed expectancy, and more than a trifle of apprehension. He did not raise his voice. He made no gestures. But in unmistakable and very profane language he expressed his opinion of the man who had pasted that picture on the window and of the crowd which Pool-game- Herbert Wilcox and Anna Neagle departed for England, Mr. Wilcox announcing that, because of the war, he would postpone making his proposed picture about Bonnie Prince Charlie.

CHAPTER XIII Kay Forrest was happy. True, she felt a sense of guilt; a furtiveness as though there was something indecent about her happiness. She told herself though faintly that it wasn't right for her to forget, even momentarily, the tragic events of the past few weeks, nor her apprehension about the part which Barney might have played in Kirks death. But on this particular Tuesday night it was difficult to be unhappy. The house in Cathedral Gardens was as she had always known it: tranquil and pleasant and millions ot miles removed from the narrow prejudices of Beverly. Mrs. Hamilton. quiet and blonde and capable a perfect hostess, a gracefully maturing woman, an understanding mother and friend . . . and Barney and Margaret. And Jim Owenby. And after supper long after supper wben Jim Owenby announced that he and Margaret were driving out to Big Oak Plantation, beyond Chicora, Barney ana Kay decided to go with them. Mrs. Hamilton begged off, claiming with the wisdom ot understanding motherhood that she had letters to write, and they piled into Jim's car and headed for Chicora; their route carrying them through Beverly. And because they were short of gas, they stopped at Warner's Sudden Service Garage where Andy was on night-duty- . They got out of the car at the garage and went in search of Kay s brother. They found him lying pros trate beneath a rccaleitrant car of a client.
