OC'TORER 21. 19P,0 PAGE SIX THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON ll Harold Craw HE ROSE frc'cl LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE IN THE DARK Chapter It COHKLftfcD Dr. Lytton vjiid Urmnnock the ext afwrnooa. and found hlra lcaram to leel hi way about Uir roat eardrn, under HaWe'i guid ance. "Mug Cor.aldine has been teach ing me all day," explained Gran nock. Lyt ion. tongue-tied, could only draw fiercely at his cigarette.) He listened to the talk of these two lovers. Between instructions aud directions, always casually given. Halite as leading Grannock to speak of Africa. Tune slipped away among the roses. . . . "I ll go back to the house." she Said, suddenly rising. "You'd like to have a professional look at your patient, doctor, no diubt; and I have my unpacking to llnish." 'Unpacking?" Oh, didn't you know? I've asked myself to stay. I angled hard for the Invitation yesterday but Baxely Is so dens?! or so very, very proper. I can't quite make out which It is. Perhaps you'll smooth him down lor me, will you?" Both she and Grannock laughed the caressing and Intimate laughter of acknowledge! lovers. Lyttoa laughed, too. and hoped he would never again see such misery as lay In this girl's eyes while her lips Curved and pouted so gaily. "She wants to stay here (or three weeks that Is, until we're mar. ried." said Grannock when the sound of her footsteps had died war. "Heaven knows what South Cliff will say!" "Forget 'em." growled the doc tor. He rubbed his hands nervous ly together. "You're to be married In three weeks then that's settled?" It's settled in this sense that Z still don't feel I ouht to marry at all and that she Rose abso lutely refuses to budge from my sidf until X ran live a tolerable life without her. Well, what am I to say to her? What Is a tolerable life to a blind man? And If I could see would life even then be toler able without her? ... Id like to believe that she's getting her own way because the puzzle Is beyond me but. to be honest. I haven t real ly tackled It. I'm afraid of it. And while I'm busy dodging it, she's Simply settling everything." "I see." said Lyt ton. "I heard from Lester this morn lng." sold Orannoek. The doctor started. "I had a wire yesterday," went on Grannock with careful quiet. "His letter confirms It. He has ar ranged to marry Nurse Ellesmore within the next few days and to take her abroad. After that, he wants to sell this place and settle down in New York." "He never liked Southcltff," Raid Lytton, for the sake of saying something anything. "No. It wus mother who loved It. Of course, Lester will be free to do as he likes with nil his prop erty once he Is married. ' He laughed shortly. "It's too bad. Isn't ft, and yet sort of funny that all the elaborate machinery mother set up to insure that Lester should many suitably Is to end In thisl" "Your brother felt that the Elles more girl had a claim on him?": Dr. Lyt ton had found a temporary (solution of the situation by think ing of Nur.se Ellesmore and Rose Conaldlne as two separate people. "He did; and I was bound to arce with him. In other words, ij gave my consent to his marriuTe and by the terms of the will that Is enouuh to put Lester In complete authority c.cr his poroesMons. . . .' Lyt ton " 'Cm?" -What's the girl like? I don't mean physicully I've been told she's dark and hand'-ome with one crooked eyebrow or something i but what kind of a wife wil she make Lester? I "Is she-well, rou know what T meant Is site going to be his social drain-warrant or not ? Because Les ter will never find any kind of life outside toe society of others of his type. He is gregarious or nothing.' Lyt ton shifted miserably In his seat. He was not used, he told him self, to this stepping gingerly about between lies, half-he and evasions He said, desperately, "Old man, I wish I could tell you what you want to know but I can't. And that's the truth." Grannock evidently accepted thfe as normal. "No, I suppose you wouldn't know," he said. "You only knew her as a nurse. . . . It's odd, doc, how Lester's description of her has stuck In my mind. It's the uneven eyebrows, I suppose. I find myself thinking about her quite a lot not in relation to myself but as the woman alio Is to be my brother's wife." The doctor grabbed again at the pretence that HalUe and Kate were not one but two. "I should have thought." he said, "that you had someone else to think about." Gannock smiled. "I don't somehow, actively think about Rose. said Grannock. "She's a part of my mind and of my spirit She is my life. . . . Sory! Didn't know I was given to that kind of thing, did you? But perhaps It's because I've never actually seen her." No. of course you ha vent" "I'm told she Is very lovely. Nurse Casey very sweetly told me so. But, Lyt ton. here's a queer thing! Casey got mixed up with Rose and and that Elle.smore woman. She said Rose's eyebrows weren't level, that one was higher than tlie other. When I exclaimed, she said she'd confused the two." "She's ft foot" "They aren't alike, are they? I don't know why it should have come as such a shock to believe that they are even of the same type. "There Isn't a shadow of resem blance between them," lied the doc tor heftily. "As for eyebrows or whatever it is. you can take it from me that damn" few people have got perfectly level eyebrows. You haven't. I haven't. Your brother has one of the very few symmetri cal faces I've seen and that's one of the reasons I don't like It." You were always a little down on Lester," grinned Lester's brother. "Very likely. And talking of faces, old man, just let me see If that swelling of yours is gone yet." He plunged into a discussion of Grannock's general health and kept at it until HalUe was again visible between the trees. I'm here again, Saxely," she called, and Lytton recognized this as an agreed signal which would re lieve Grannock of speculating on her nearness. "I find I've left some things at Mrs. Bartholomew's. Will you give me a lift there. Doctor Lytton?" "With pleasure." "Nurse Casey will be bark from her walk soon and, in ar.y case, Saxely likes a little time to himrell occasionally." Her hand was Grannock's shoulder and Lytton saw him carry It to his lips. Then, Instead of releasing it, Grannock felt it with his other hand. I must learn this bu Iness, next,' he said, chwrfullv. "This hand ot yours. Rose, is a little different Irom the hand of any one cite in the world. I must learn to feel that little difference. And then I must feel your face. Bend down Just a second. Lytton says faces are rare. ly symmetrical. Perhaps I can tell in my finders where one halt is out of line with the other, now that my eyes aren't able to deceive me." Ha Hie had whitened but, after one startled, inquiring look at Lyt ton, she had bent to the groping (Continued on Page 7 a runs 1. MrmlM atuat pour 4. I'rrit It. VmillMlt 11.
