She had, she discovered, exactly the same Impulse Im-pulse to do something, anything, to attract and hold hit attention. "You're looking well," 6he laid. "You're looking well, too." His eyes, regarding her steadily across the space which separated them, held a faintly ironical expression which she remembered very well. "I'm relieved." The engaging grin slanted slant-ed side-wise. "Your photographs have given me the impression that you'd been skipping your vitamins and losing too much sleep." "My photographs?" Gay questioned. ques-tioned. "The press has been giving you considerable space recently," he said in reply. The pressl Had they done something some-thing stupid at home? Gay's eyes flew to meet Kate's startled glance. Kate's expression was not reassuring. reassur-ing. She looked as though she was resigning herself to some inevitable inevita-ble disaster. Gay turned again to John. "This time you have the advantage," advan-tage," she said. "We haven't seen the papers for two days." She fancied, for a moment, that he, as well as Kate, knew the thought which had flashed into her mind. His expression was wholly ironic aL But "I was referring to the rotogravure rotogra-vure sections," he said, "and the fifty-cent magazines." He hesitated, then, "May I wish you happiness?" he asked. "Why not?" "I do wish that for you." He continued con-tinued to regard her steadily but the slanting smile had vanished and his eyes were very grave. "Thank you, John." His steady gaze presently altered. He glanced around the room. "I'm a very poor host," he said. "You've had to bring to your luggage lug-gage and get your supper. I've been talking politics up at the village store. Why didn't you let me know you were coming?" The question had, for Gay, only one implication. Resentment, like a fresh breeze blowing through a room too warm and perfumed, cleared the confusion from her mind. "Did you think I knew you were here?" she asked quietly but with warmth kindling in her voice. He turned to look at her in surprise. sur-prise. "But if you didn't, why did you come?" Resentment flamed into anger. But anger was stupid. She returned his glance directly, her chin unconsciously uncon-sciously lifting, her eyes bright and scornful. "You haven't become less fatuous, fatu-ous, have you?" she asked. "I didn't mean that the way it sounded," he said quickly. "I'm not that fatuous. I meant, how did you expect to get in unless someone was here?" Her level glance did not waver. His momentary confusion gave her the advantage. She pressed it resolutely, reso-lutely, still smarting from humiliated humiliat-ed pride. "Why should I have had the faintest faint-est idea that you, especially, should be here?" she asked. "But who else would be?" His expression ex-pression was frankly puzzled. "I've never rented it My kid sister had a house-party here this summer. Otherwise it hasn't been occupied except when I've been here." She pressed her advantage stubbornly, stub-bornly, incensed by the possessive posses-sive tone in which he spoke of her property. "Who gave you permission permis-sion to use the cabin at any time?" she asked. "Permission?" He stared at her in perplexity. "Didn't you know that Uncle John left the cabin to me?" "To you?" "Yes." It was the granddaughter of David Graham speaking, the granddaughter of Peter Schuyler, secure In her inherited assurance, quite obviously taking pleasure in the routing of an intruder. "But that's impossible," he said crisply. "His lawyer sent me a key three years ago nearly." Gay said, "just after Uncle John died." She watched him intently, expecting expect-ing some attempt at justification, explanations, an apology, perhaps. She did not expect the smile of somewhat incredulous amusement which crept slowly upward from his lips into his eyes. "Does that impress you as being amusing?" she asked with dignity. "Uncle John was my god-father. There's no particular reason, is there, why he shouldn't have left the cabin to me?" "I suppose there isn't," he said, as though that point was of small importance. im-portance. The smile deepened "I was just wondering how many other oth-er people are likely to pop in here with keys. You see." he continued to a cabin A R R I M O R E MACRAE SMITH CO. WNU SERVICE In reply to her questioning glance, "Uncle John s lawyer sent one to me. I naturally assumed that the cabin was mine and have used it whenever I've had a chance." She had not considered that possl bility. It was true, of course. It was the only logical explanation. She felt, for a moment, in sympathy with John, who, as well as she, was the victim of some sentimentality or eccentricity contrived by a mem ber of an older generation. But Un cle John, as she remembered him, naa oeen neiiner sentimental nor eccentric. The lawyer had made a mistake, perhaps. At any rate, it wasn't John's fault any more than it was hers. "I understand that," she said, "because I assumed that it belonged to me." Neither pride nor resentment resent-ment was entirely proof against the humor in the situation, against the charm of his rare slow smile. Her eyes met John's in laughter and sympathy. Then "So you can't turn me out after all, can you?" he asked. "No," she said slowly, considering. consider-ing. "But I can ask you to go." His smile faded a little. "Are you planning to stay Indefinitely?" Indef-initely?" he asked. "Not longer than a week, perhaps." per-haps." "I have another week." She knew that he, too, was considering, choos- "I must make my experiment here." Ing his words with deliberation, trying try-ing to gauge their probable effect upon her. "It's rather an important impor-tant week," he went on, "my last vacation, probably, for some time." "This week is important for me, too," Gay said with equal deliberation. delibera-tion. My last of" She paused, then added, smiling, "of vacation probably prob-ably for some time." The slanting smile, more mocking than amused, told her that he understood under-stood the implication of the pause and the smile. "I should be a gentleman and clear out, I suppose," he said slowly. slow-ly. "Unfortunately, it isn't as simple as that. I'm making an experiment," experi-ment," he said diffidently. "It's just getting well under way." "Amateur photography?" Kate asked from her position against the chimney. "Probably of no greater importance," impor-tance," he said with a deprecating laugh. Kate shouldn't have, Gay thought, feeling again that reluctant but compelling com-pelling sympathy for John. Kate was getting back at her. She deserved de-served it, perhaps, but he didn't "I suggested photography," Gay said. "I thought possibly the materials ma-terials in your laboratory were things Uncle John had left" "I'm sorry. It's just that" He ran his hand with an impatient gesture ges-ture across his crisp dark hair. "It probably won't amount to anything, but I want to see it through. If I leave here now. all that I've done will be lost" "I suppose I should be a lady and leave you in peace," Gay said quietly, qui-etly, quite steadily, but with a silken thread of retaliation running through her voice. "Unfortunately, that isn't so simple, either. I'm making an experiment" "And you must make It here?" "Yes," she said, after a moment. "I came for that purpose. I must make my experiment here." A pause followed, not warm and intimate as the first had been. This was a truce, a break in active hostilities. hos-tilities. John walked to the table and picked up his pipe. Gay stood half-leaning against the back of the i jL. ? if 14 chair, watching the movements of his hands in the yellow cone of lamp-light She remembered them, brown and strong, against a canoe paddle, brown in lamplight as she saw them now, moving chess-men across a waxed apple-wood board, lean and brown but unsteady as they were now, on the sleeve of a white fur coat Hands had an identity of their own. She would have recognized recog-nized them anywhere. Strange and very disquieting. Her throat ached and, suddenly, humiliatingly, she felt the hot sting of tears behind her eyelids ... Kate broke the silence. "Well, certainly cer-tainly no one is leaving tonight" she said practically. "It's after ten o'clock now." Gay glanced at her In gratitude which held, as well, an element of surprise. "You can draw straws In the morning," Kate continued. "Or perhaps per-haps one or the other of these experiments ex-periments will be completed by then." "Of course," he said, after only a slight hesitation. "There are, unfortunately, un-fortunately, no hotel accommodations accommoda-tions nearer than Machias." "And that," Kate said cheerfully, "would, I think, be carrying matters mat-ters much too far." "I agree with you." He smiled appreciatively ap-preciatively at Kate. "There's a cot In the room I work in. You can have the larger room, there. I see you've brought blankets and there is linen, I think." He started toward the door. "I'll get my things out of the way." "Don't bother," Kate said, start-ing start-ing with her tray toward the kitchen. kitch-en. "We can manage Just for tonight" to-night" They were ignoring her, Gay thought, making plans in which she had no voice. He was friendly enough with Kate. Gay resented that friendliness from which she was excluded. ex-cluded. She felt again, a compelling compel-ling urge to attract and hold his attention. at-tention. "John" she said. He stopped at the""6oorr turned,' stood waiting for her to continue. Kate, at the kitchen door, glanced back over her shoulder. Gay held herself very erect "I will not be leaving tomorrow," she said, conscious of and regretting the arrogance in her voice. She would have liked to reach him through friendliness. Arrogance was too obvious ob-vious and too petty an approach. But whatever he felt for her it was not friendliness. The glance he exchanged, ex-changed, now, with Kate impelled her to add, "Kate can do as she likes, of course. I shall stay." "Which means?" he asked. "That I will appreciate it if you'll remove your things from the room." He ' was silent for a moment. Then, "Certainly," he said civilly. "Now, Gay" Kate began with some asperity, paused, rolled her eyes upward, compressed her lips and went out into the kitchen. John remained standing In the opposite doorway. The slanting smile appeared ap-peared as her eyes met his. "The long arm of coincidence," he said. "It is incredible." "Not too Incredible. You might have found me here any one of a number of times during the past three years." (TO BE CONTIXVED) U. S. Families on Relief Buy 'Protective' Foods What do families on relief actually actual-ly buy with blue stamps issued free as a practical method for distributing distribut-ing foods of which there Is a surplus supply? What foods do they choose when they have opportunity to select as they please from a limited list of surplus foods? It is too early to draw general conclusions, says Milo Perkins, in charge of the United States department depart-ment of agriculture food-stamp pro-gran. pro-gran. But for a six-week period the stamp holders spent a little more than 80 per cent of their blue stamps for "protective" foods and a little less than 20 per cent for flour, corn meal, rice and beans. For this period the stamp plan was effective In five cities. There were minor differences in administrative adminis-trative methods to discover which variations of the basic plan seemed to work best In general, orange- colored stamps, which were bought by the relief family, could be used to buy any foods, and half as many blue stamps given free could be spent only for foods on the official surplus list At that time the surplus sur-plus list included butter, eggs, oranges, grapefruit peaches, pears. cabbages, peas, tomatoes, onions, dried prunes, white flour, graham Sour, corn meal and ric lATTtrnuix V lAAAAllilAAAAAAAA A- UERE'S a beautifully graceful A -1 dress that has everything you need to make your figure look more slender and supple.
