The OREGON STATESMAN, Salea. Oregtm, Tuesday Morning, December 10, 1929 PAGE SEVEN 5 -I "MASTER of NGNEV11 J BY. ROY VICKERS CHAPTER II - 1 He' bad sot been sentimental f about Shirley. He did not, for In stance, ezpeet to And the gir! ot (20. all rose and white against the dark softness of tbe luxury she foved. Reasonably, ho could ex pect nothing at all, for what , newt of her he had received had told him nothing- She had written, to him only once, at her father's death, and given him no inkling of growth or ' Change In her. He had many times 'seen adulation of her beauty, her energy, her grace, in the society ' columns. On the other band, she bad not married, though twice tbere had 2een rumors of aa important match. Alan put out his cigarette. He .found another tie, adjusted and tied It carelessly he had always . 3een lnamereni 10 nis appearance finished dressing and went 'downstairs. There was no ner ,.vouBness in him now, only a great longing to learn what, in seven years, she had 'become; because Iter fate was his. her destiny 'prould shape hl own. He felt no inclination to linger by the tablo at which she had left Aiim seven years ago. The Felton tiad given him what be had asked lot it the assurance that ho had made good. He left It without a backward glance. "Park Avenue!" bo barked at a taxi-driver. "I don't remember the 'somber. Drive to the north side of Seventieth street. Can you tiear?"- "AI1 right, sir, 111 slip along aa fait as I can." e "Alan! It Is good to see yon again!" "Shirley ..." He was standing In front of her holding the hands she had given Mm. Her welcoming laughter broke into a little gasp and ho knew he was crushing her hands; ixe released them- then caught them again. "Shirley but, Shirley, you look exactly the same! And It's seven years ago! You were just twenty." "My dear Alan. Is it manners to throw my age in my teeth like jthis?" She drew away, but still 'he stared. It was so amazing that he should be, physically, exactl ly as he remembered her. Her Stair bad. still that queer, dull gleam that was nearer silver than Sold; her eyes wera still wjdely, deeply gray; her skin was still a iwonder of white and rose. Seven years had not. It would teem. touched ber body at all. "What did you expect, you old silly toothless old lady? Peo ple don't change nowadays until they suddenly seem to bo decrepit . . . . Let me look at- you now; you have your back to the light. Tour hair surely to goodness it was dark when yon went away, not fair? Alan! It's It Isn't fair. It's gray!" Her horror was sincere, so sin cere that Alan found himself chuckling over it as be would have chuckled seven years ago. Shirley had always been passionately young. Her eyes were darkening, her color was ebbing at his gray balr. She was pushing him into a chair, putting a cushion behind his back. "You poor Alan, what happened down there? Oh, dear. I wish I wasn't such a wretched corres pondent! if I'd written to you, you would have written to mo and told me what was happening. You might have written anyway, Alan." Alan (Itched the cushion on to the floor. "It was tor you to giro the Sign." "Always proud and stern. Al an!" "With you, Shirley yes." "I wonder why?" She would not bar said that seven years ago, because she would not have wondered why. His puis leaped at this first in trigulng hint of a difference. Be fore ha could probe it, the door opened to admit a servant. The ntan was deft and silent, the china and silver were perfect ly chosen, the trifles of food of fered were neither commonplace nor too strange. While the foot man was hovering and, presently, when ho had gone and she was dispensing with tea, Shirley made Alan talk. Ho recognised with out resentment that ho was being drawn out; Shirley had always been skillful in that direction. Ho found, as the "drawing-out" proceeded, that she bad learned to listen intelligently. Seven years ago her own insistent vitality had precluded a real sympathy. A sec ond little difference . . . She was asking him about his own affairs. "I've got close to three millions out ot it!" "Splendid! Your own personal property?" "Yes if you like to put it like that." "Of course I like to! Don't you?" "I don't know. I've been hand ling big money for seven years, Shirley. Thousands millions; in Today's Cross-Word Puzzle Bj EUGENE SlIfclYElt- 1 2 P li 1 VA WA I7 I6 1 1' . m . .

His excitement was growing. That exquisite flower-tinted face that seven years had not touched, that slim grace, that half-shy voice thero were nothing; be hind their lovely Immaturity, Shirley's spirit was no longer Im mature. If only one could throw all consideration overboard and question her; question her closely, ruthlessly, explore her mind, her soul, as a conqueror explores a surrendered land! "Alan, you're simply scowling at me. You're still, I believe, dissat isfied because I've kept time at arm's length.". "I want so intensely to know about you, Shirley. Ton give me no hint as to what has happened to you the real you in seren years. Physically, not a hair seems to be changed. Bat beneath your perpetual youth you hare devel oped. Naturally. I want to know." She made a little face at him. She seemed reluctant to gratify sua curiosity. "Well, really where did we leave off , as the children say? It la rather difficult to summarise mental processes. Won't yon tell mo instead " "No, Shirley, I won't. We left Off in the Felton well, wo left off with you at 20 telling me that life was an adorable rag , . Those were your exact words. . . . Ot course, that passed. And then?" She was looking a little bewil dered. ut X don't think it did. I still worship life the sensation ot liv ing; It It Intoxicates me." She leaned back in her chair, sighing deeply. "I see no reason why I should ever stop feeling like that; It's my grande passion, my cult What you. I dare say, would call my religion." Re was not yet conscious of his disappointment because he did not yet believe her. "But surely M "When I'm swimming or riding or skating, I I simply exult in the movement of my own body. I want nothing except the strength to continue forever ... I'm a pa gan, Alan. I've discussed it with lots of people social workers, preachers, men of big affairs. They can't convert me." He was silent for a moment "You would have me believe yon haven't changed spiritually either," he said then. "But that isn't so; in one or two things I've felt a difference." "Oh!" She moved a cushion sharply. "My experience has wid ened, ,of course. When you went away, daddy was still alive. He gave me a royal time, you will remember, and himself, too. He believed in the Very best of every thing. He told me, very early, how he managed to get it." "He merely bad to pay for It, I presume," said Allan dully. She moved the cushion again. "What should you have placed his income at?' she asked ab ruptly. Alan considered it MAboat fifty thousand a year, I should say. Shirley laughed when Alan es timated her father's income at fifty thousand a year. "His actual Ineome which I have Inherited was only fifteen, she said. "Good heavens! D'you mean ?" "No, he was solvent, always. But he could only rely on the fif teen thousand. The margin he made by speculating. He never had a crash, because he never fol lowed his own judgment; he knew he was too ignorant" . "He got advice?" "He knew all the right people. entertained them, and they advis ed him. I didn't understand, until I grew older, how easy it really is." . "You don't do tt?" . "My dear Allan, don't shout at me ... No, I don't do It. I don't need to. Ho left me I00 000 fifteen thousand a year and that with Aunt Marlon's backing, is ample tor me. I dont go short believe me!" She sighed and laughed again. "But all the same, I've watched and noted. I've seen men" (To; be continued otmorrow.) sran youth GETS SGU OB Don't Overlook Chestnuts When The Uom$ Kttchea Making Up Holiday Menus n7 alice lyns barry I T holiday season, or any etaert60 10 cupful of not water. aim- mixture before roastinc Jut ntJ . i axinrrinsr swnriT vnr nsarr east nAiie WM.skt.jj, 4k.. t SILVERTON.
