I
! By Iris Bennett :
SYNOPSIS j
Constancy Darby Is just 20 and !
terribly in lovt with young Terry
Cannon, assistant athletic coach in
an ipstate college. They plan to
marry in the fall. For the summer,
Terry will act as swimming in
structor at a boys camp and Con
stance will be secretary to Gordon
Keith, well-known newspaper ,cor
respondent, radio commentator and
ladies' man. As far as Northwood
knew, Gordon, its favorite son, had
returned to write a book. It did
not know that he was ostracized
from New York because of a scan
dal and was also broke. Rosalind,
Constance's 18-year-old sister, en
vies the life of luxury enjoyed by
the folk who live in that exclusive
part of the town called "The Hills."
She has- been seeing the wealthy
playboy, Van Howard. Constance
warns her he is not serious and
would never marry her. - Van
promises his mother that he will
discontinue seeing Rosalind. The
latter is broken-hearted when he
does not come to their usual ren
dezvous. As the days go on, Gor
don finds himself falling in love
with Constance. Avis Bailey, at
tractive . young debutante, who
loves Gordon herself, warns her
not to take him seriously. Con
stance likes the society girl and
feels she can trust her. Later on, at
the exclusive Northwood Country
Club, Constance meets Van. He
confesses he loves Rosalind but
can do nothing about it because of
.his family. One day, as Gordon
1 helps Constance with her coat, his
. hands rest on her shoulders. A rush
. of emotion sweeps over her. Why
had bis touch stirred ber? Later,
reviewing the incident, Gordon
thought, with Constance in his
arms. Avis and her money would
cease to matter. Why couldn't
-Constance have been the girl with
the money he needed so desperate
ly? Brooding over Van, Rosalind
attempts suicide. It develops, she
and Van are married. Knowing
Gordon is a friend of Van's family,
Constance enlists his aid. To
gether, they go to talk things over
with the Howards. Mrs. Howard
Is shocked at the news and suggests
an immediate annulment.
CHAPTER XII
Nina Howard's voice broke. "Van,
how could you, how could you do
such a thing? How could you bring
disgrace...
"There's no disgrace in marrying
'' a nice srirl." Gordon retorted. "The
disgrace is on Van for his neglect
and cowardice ...
He isn't a coward. That girl . .
Constance's eyes flew helplessly
from one to the other. She had to
bite into her lower lip to keep from
crying out, "You think your pre-
elous son, who is too lazy to work in
bis own father's business, is too
good for my sister 1"
When Nina began to cry, Gordon
nut his arm around her and led her
to a chair. Then he said quietly,
"Let's not be dramatic about it
It's done and you've got to face it
and settle it. You've got to think of
Van and the girl, not yourself. I
think you should think especially of
Rosalind." Angrily he turned to
Van. "Well, have you thought any
thing about itf What have you to
say for yourself? You married her.
She's your responsibility from now
on. Do you love her or were you
drunk when you married her? This
la the time to be honest. Van. I'm
probably taking a lot on myself but
your father isn't here and I've been
a friend of tne zamuy xor years . . .
"I wasn't drunk. I I love Rosa
lind." Constance saw that he was
shaking. Ha cried out, "I tried to
tell Mother but I never got that farl
She wouldn't listen I She made me
nromisa I wouldn't se her any
more and she's been having me
watched! I didnt know what to do
either. I've been nearly crazy . .
"He doesnt know what he's say
It.!" Nina cried. "Married 1 Oh,
it's ridiculous 1 .1 wish Stephen were
here. Well never recognize this
marriage 1 Never! Well disinherit
you. Van! You've given us so much
trouble..." . - t
"I couldn't marry her any other
way. Just because she doesn't come
from the Hills crowd . . . He threw
the ciearette into the empty fire
place. "Go ahead and disinherit
me I" Turning to Constance, his
eyes softened.' "How is she? . She
isn't..."
"She's going to get over it."
Gordon asked abruptly, "Do you
want your wife?"
He nodded. "Yes, I want her."
"You'd leave me for for that
girl?" Nina cried.
Gordon looked impatient. "That
girl is his wife, Nina. She is Rosa-
md Howard. Marriage is the best
thing in the world for Van and he
loves the girl. If you oppose it, youll
harm him. It doesnt mean he loves
you any less. I'm sure Stephen will
feel the same way about it. His hu
miliation over Van's laziness and
scrapes is greater than yours over
this." i
"It's not his eettine married
but..." i
"She's as good as we are!" Van
cried. "Who are we? Just because
we've got a lot of money ... I won't
have you say anything against her."
Gordon suppressed! a smile.
That's the most sensible thins: I've
ever heard you say, Van. Let Rosa
lind recover and then announce your
marriage. It will cause a furor, cer
tainly, but it won't last long. Then
bring her here and start to work
with your father." I.
Nina looked up. "You wont leave
me, Van, will you?" i
Gordon said, "That will depend on
you and your treatment of Rosalind.
He needn t leave if you're kind to
her. This is a big house and there's
no reason why you shouldn't get
along. That depends on you, Nina.
You can keep him with you or lose
him, but his first obligation is to his
wife." , i
Constance's heart began to beat
normally again. How wonderful
Gordon was! He had idone every
thing. Without him she would have
failed miserably. j
Nina rose. "You know I would
never do anything against my son,
Gordon. Ill do as you say. But I
must call Stephen at once in Chi
cago and tell him."
Her handkerchief pressed to her
mouth, she hurried from the room-
Van said, "Lord. I'm glad it's
over!" !
" VMl're rVAinfW frl VAnt ZM A MAW
via s,viuc ev j ww a, n ue uvna ,
Gordon said. He looked at Con
stance. "Sorry it was so bad for
you."
"It wasn't thanks to you."
How grateful her eyes were, he
thought! All the time he had been
talking, he had been conscious of
them. I
e
At the Darby cottasre. Constance
led the way upstairs. Asking them
to wait m the hall, she went into her
room. Rosalind was awake. Her
mother and father and the doctor
were standing over the bed. Con
stance went to the bed. sat down on
it. She was smiling through her
tears. , -
"You called for him and he's
here," she said softly, f Van is here,
Rosalind. He wants to see you.'
"Van?" she asked weakly.
"Yes, dear." Nodding for her par
ents and the doctor to leave, they
went out. She left the room and
when she came in again, the two tall
men were with her. i
She and Gordon stayed by the
door. Van went to the bed and knelt
down beside it. i
Feeling that they did not belons
here, that they were intruders into
something they had no right to
share, they went out! In the hall
Gordon spoke to Ruth Darby. "Don't
cry. Everything, is going to be all
ngnt witn tnem now. im sure
they're going to be very happy."
On the dark porch, be said. Tm

Constance. j
She looked up. "Thank you. My
parents thank you, too. You were
splendid.
"And after tonight,! he said, "we
shall be more to each other than em
ployer and secretary. We shalL We
wont be able to help it" But he had
said enough for tonight "Will you
drive Van home?. I've an engage-
men, ana i ll nave to leave now."
An engagement with Avis Bai
ley, she knew.
He went down to his car, thinking
that he did not want to see A via to
night, that he did not want to see
anyone tonight except Constance.
Fool! He wouldnt marry her. What
was to be gained from brief, ex
citing love affair with ber? It was
Avis and her money he would
marry. But that was in the tomor.
row and he was a man who never
looked beyond today. He thought
of what his former wife, Lisbeth,
had flung at him angrily one dav.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20-(M-Gen-erous
snowfalls that iromiseU
moisture relief for large sections
of domestic winter crop terri
tory tumbled Chicago wheat
prices nearly a cent a bushel to
day. Dry areas southwest, where
the 1939 crop has been reported
as showing decidedly poor con
dition, were especially lavored
with snows, i.nd more were
forecast. Almost complete ab
sence of export business in Nortli
American wheat served also as
a weight on values.
In contrast, the corn market
developed firmness, owing to
persisting advices the Argentine
crop was in a critical condition
because of drought and torrid
heat. Buenos Aires corn quota
tions scored 1 cents fresh up
turn, but later reacted.
