(WNU Service) ( the heart, the spirit of young a barrier as high, Id SOMEWHERE! practically, as his life was long. Had you even suggested anything of this to any member of the Buh-lo-w family, they would have met the Implication with loyal and heated denial. How could Sterling secretly feel himself an outsider in the Buhlow family, when not one of the Buhlow children, although they had quite simply been told when they each became eight, had an atom of consciousness that Sterling was not blood brother? ' As a matter of fact, bending too ' far backward perhaps to achieve this end, Ann and Proscow Buhlow took pains to see to. It that Sterling received even more than their own chil-,'dr.of parental solicitude. ' The .fact that Sterling had been . adopted by Ann during .a previous marriage was as remote In the minds of her present husband and children as if it had never happened. Sterling belonged. As the senior member of a remarkably alert group of children, he was the acknowledged leader of the clam Sterling Is too- outrageously clever, Ann- was wont, to reiiiark of her alleged eldest, treating him Iq the colloquial young fashion of the modern mother. He sets g dreadful example to .the' rest of the children. They have to live up to him. Sterling Is not clever," Anns real- eldest, Shirley, would sing out on ly. such occasions.' "Hes a soulless mis- g cynic, a anthrope, an misbeh&viorist, and he passes off among the unworldlings of my mothers generation as clever. Oh, Shirley, be yourself, Terry, two years below Shirley, would retort on the fling of a soft pillow. You know youd give your sleepy head to be as clever as Sterling. What- Shirley cant be, she is not going to bid for, remarked her fa- ther, dodging in turn the same sofa pillow flung by Shirley toward him, that had been flung by Terry to his . sister. . Father, it Is a good thing you make it a point to speak your true words In Jest. Otherwise your family would never grant you a hearing. Typical, all this, of the way Sterling stood in the admiration of his parents and brothers and sisters. Not only the two older of the Buhlow children vested him thus In their full and enthusiastic approval, but the stepladder of younger ones followed suit with hero worshiping eyes. Sterling that." If Sterling this. I had Sterling's brains. Sterling Is the genius of this family. only Sterling, would take the trouble he could be anything he set out to be! Something undoubtedly there was In Sterling. The something that would not take the trouble. .Time after time, her sweet, anxious eyes scrutinizing this youth, Ann tried to analyze that trouble. Proscow, too. And as Ann said banteringly of her husband, as a famous alienist whose job It- was' to analyze the workings of the human brain,. Proscow Ought to be able to ferret out the way to attack the streak of cynical inertia In Sterling. , Isnt "Darling, with all there' anything you want to be?

In fact, the problem of Terry had already been handled with decision and the school for his medical training selected. With Sterling, jnst because his equivocal position In the . of household, the dilemma of stimulating him to action was a subtle and troublesome one. You know after all, Sterling, your father, in - spite of his wealth, could never be wealthy enough to encourage a dilettante In the family.

The very coloring of the eyes and hair of his five foster brothers and sisters was something Sterling could never look upon without the cold sense of being alien sweeping through the lonely Inner moors of his desolation.
