Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH lasttas 7? Anewsn A.y(V. JUI McFarlane, whose father, Rich disappeared In World War I, is in love with Lieut. Spang Gordon. Her brother, Ric, becomes involved with Sandra Calvert, a divorcee. JU1 is thrown from a horse and during her absence Richard returns, telling her mother, Julia, that he is now Captain Mackey. He sees Ric at camp and later threatens Sandra, but the two marry anyway. Richard has Ric transferred and Sandra arrives at the farm to live. Jill and her grandfather, John I., try to make things so uncomfortable for the woman that she will not stay. She startles Julia by recognizing the picture of Richard in Jills room as that of Captain Mackey as a young man. I did have the control of direction. I could have put power behind the weakness and eliminated the meanness and built up what was good, but I didnt. I couldnt somehow ever get near to Ric, Dave. I could only give Turn love, and he accepted that, but always with that faint tinge of condescension. I suppose it was because he had no father. There was a maleness in Ric that only a father could have touched. I was always less a parent to him than just another woman. You gave your children two parents, Dooley. Dont forget that. Jill said that the other day. And I was always aware of it, with Ric. His has that charm that Richard has, that trick of getting what he wants, of being untouched by toe disapproval of other people, a kind of veneer that kept him apart, so that he was himself, complete ar, , ' , ib- y. fly-,n- g, but awfully lonely!

Its your own problem, youve had the misery of it all these years, youve got the anxiety of it now. You may be able to count on Richard to keep his identity concealed. Its to his own interest, of Course. It would be definitely awkward for him if the War Department got wind of it. There are always a few blackbirds in every army, but if theyre found out it doesnt go well with them. What is a blackbird? A man who gets discharged from a military unit for some reason, or who deserts or leaves his command .without complying with regulations and then enlists somewhere else under an assumed name. Thats the spot Richard is in, right more now, and . hes probably acutely aware of it, than even you are. I doubt if hell start anything. He was taking 'a risk, even to let you know that he was alive. But if this woptian knows, anything about it, thats another angle and a bad couldnt. Jill can have is the truth. But Im one. She saw Richards picture in Jills room and identified it instantly as a picture of Roger Mackey. I could see her mind working. Shes a type Ive never met before, Dave. I dont know exactly how to, deal with her. Why on earth did Ric send her to you, anyway? .Because he didnt know what else to do with her. He was shipped out suddenly Richard did that and I suppose she had no money. Theres nothing at all to do, Dave, but wait. Failed in Her Duty to Ric ft. (v.MU(u(W(v.(Wucw(ui.v.fi.o-(u(w('('-N- N 8.

Theres a deadly kind of fascination about it. It makes you want to break through- and make the person who owns it aware of you. Even when I was so furious at Richard Sunday night when he came back,. I was feeling that irritation, the impelling to crash through that shell of his, get past that mocking smile, find some vulnerable spot, some place where he could be hurt. Rics like that, too. Suave and charming, and entirely remote But I should have done something about that when he was small. That very aloofness may save Ric, Dooley, Dave reminded her. If Im any judge of human nature this woman he has married wont like it. I think, Julia said, opening the door and gathering up her purse and gloves, 'that the McFarlane - men were not meant for marriage at all. Theres an atavistic thing in them, a strutting sort of insolence that goes back to plumes and sabers and knights riding alone. The woman who innocently lures a McFarlane man into marriage destroys him. I destroyed Richard, and Sandra will wreck Ric. alone! But of course you were more or less used to being alone. The adjustment wasnt quite as difficult as though youd been with Ric for months or maybe years. You dont know anything about Sandra remarked. love, You dont know what torture it was, seeing him go! All I could do was stand there at that gate and watch him trudging away, looking back to wave at me. . . She began to cry, carefully dabbing away every tear, her mouth twitching. Words Between Two Girls If Ric hadnt had a home for you to come to, it would have been bad, wouldnt it? Jill kept her eyes on the mirror, catching glimpses of Sandra over her shoulder. Just what would you have done, anyway? I dont know. Id have had to do something try to follow Ricky, I suppose. Or perhaps, Jill was cool, you wouldnt have married him at all? Youre a smart woman, Sandra. Somehow I cant see you marrying a boy even one so attractive as Ric, just on an impulse. I suppose youre trying to say, without being nasty about it, that I married Ricky because I thought your family had money? Sandra said viciously. I wasnt thinking about his family when I married him. I was only thinking that at last I loved a man who loved me and that we had something beautiful that we mustnt lose! And now, said Jill, a deadly coolness smooth as glass' in her voice, youve lost you idyllic love inand got a lot of stodgy stead. Tough break! Its quite all right. Sandra studied her nails. I knew how it would be before I came. Ricky warned me. He told me that you were very possessive, Jill, that you thought you had a private mother, and that he had always been made to feel like an outsider in his own ' Heres the movie.
