Golden e byJ(argaret TYlddemer Chapter One DARK YOUNG MAN The dark young man in the rough handsome overcoat moved In his teat. He did not like the girl Bitting across trom him. She reminded him too much ol a girl he never again wanted to have anything to do with. The same slim hairline eyebrows, the same curved mascara lengthen ed lashes, the same perieci groom ing of her thin egg-shaped face and head and body, as it some gigantic nursemaid had Just dressed her, doll lashion, and droppec her In the parlor-car seat. She even had the same bright maroon rails. Then he gave an Impatient shrug. If he was going to be annoyed ev ery time a Kirl like that made a gesture of Interest In him, he would have an irritating life. She was pat tern, that was all; Insolent high- voiced overgroomed pattern; dozens of her on every stage every train, every place you put your foot Into. After all, what she had said was simple enough as he picked up ner sliding magazine: "dotal through to New York, are. nt you? Saw your ticket. So am I." He had never seen her before; he never saw her again But her re minding voice, her reminding quick vermilion mouth, her downdlpplng tiny black hat with a prowthlng up one side were enough. "No, I have a stop-over at Broad street station." he said shortly. "Of course we have to change there," said the painted moutn, laughing provocatively at him. "Here, take my things." The hell I will," was what he said to himself. Aloud, only, "Sorry . . . changing at West Philadelphia." And strode out of the car Just In time: stepping into another train that went he did not know where or care. This had no expensively patterned girls on board. A half-deserted day coach. He glanced out the window, a little elated. Then it struck him that all his life he nad wanted to get on a train that went he didn't know where, and get out at the end of the line. . . There were budding leaves, small woodlands. He was go ing through a pretty enough spring landscape. "There's Just one human being in the world now that I believe in any more," he thought bitterly. "And that Isn't a girl." Then he knew this sounded silly. He hadn't had enough trouble, per haps, to know how to take It with a sense of proportion. But he had believed in the girl like the one on the Pullman. He had believed in everything. In fact. In honor, in un selfish affection, in a lot of things Pretty old to have Just stopped believing In Santa Claiis. He got out, for It was growing to the edge of dark; he Jerked his two BUlt cases down. Through with that sort of thing, too porters kneeling all around you, being waited on hand and foot. Hero was a small town. Everybody in the books you read said that small towns were mean. . . No pretense, at least. It took him out of his angry rev erie to find that the town's one hotel was on the main street, a Main street whose cobbles and motor cars and trolleys managed a noise as un bearable as any New York noises. "I think I know what you want," said the hotelkeeper's wife, placidly friendly. "A place where you can be quiet and get your nerves rested up. You wouldn't find it mere was. n't so much to see " She gazed at the window's vista of small town activity with pride. tell you what. Miss Ella Lannlng was saying she'd like a boarder. I guess she'd be glad of the money they had a death in the family and you know what funeral expenses are." ACROSS X. Inclined walk 6. Marching cry I. Metrlo land measures 13.

They arranged It; he would leave his suit cases at the hotel; If he liked the Lannlng place he would telephone and have them sent over later. She was all enthusiasm and bus tle He wished he hadn't started any of this, It was a nuisance. Better to have gone on to New York in spite of the girl In the pattern. There were ten thousand girls In the pat tern. Grandln Lane, then turn," said the landlady, smiling under her neat, too wavy bob. Iris Lannlng dropped down, sud denly tired, In the spring twilight, on the courthouse steps. The labur num boughs her aunt had sent her for were heavier than she had thought they would be. She nad gathered them In a burst of delight at their dripping "goiden rain" and walked perhaps a haif mile toward home. Aunt Ella, wltr ner evenasv inn adoration of Daddy smemory. . Her own thoughts shamed her. She'd adored Daddy, too; but she and Uncle Will were alive. They had their rlBhts. An afternoon's work, lust so that flowering boughs could be set round the studio walls, as thev had been when he was alive. Uncle Will, still lama from the ac cident that had killed Daddy, all alone while Aunt Ella did the house work, and she carrying boughs home. . , It wasn't only the afternoon out doors that she was brooding over. Evervthlng. Everything from heavy shabby shoes to the place-cards at home unpainted for the Friday bridge. The angry girl looked down at the passing sullen man; their eyes met with Interest, racn was new to wie other. What Morean Black saw was girl more like a page from a medi eval picture book than a modern eirl: a sharply-cut Intense face of flushed Ivory, with Hps that needed no scarlet; framed strangely in an old-fashioned way with thick brown hair cut across her forehead ana across her neck, flaring out In straight bush. The slim tall body tnrown aown on the stone step was dressed in a brown thing, shorter and straighter than the fashion. An allure of angry, flaming charm radiated from ner. She might have been, ne tnougnt, fifteen. No pattern here, this child In a temper with llfei 'Can you tell me the way to oran- din Lane?" he asked her. Her face flashed Into unexpected bright courtesy. I'm going that way, I'll snown you." She rose all In one lithe move ment, and came aown to mm. What she saw as he took over her burden and walked on beside her was a man of perhaps 28. with strong harshly-cut face, heavy black hair, a tall loose rar.gy Doay. tie was dressed more carelessly yet bet ter than the town boys she knew. She liked his voice, the beautiful depth and sure intonations as he spoke. They went on in silence lor ten minutes, perhaps. Finally, as they passed from an old street w strag gling big old houses tr a long nar rowing tree-set lane, he spoke cur iously. "What are the boughs for?" She spoke curtly. "My aunt wants them." "Devoted niece I" Iris answered him with the con fessional Indiscretion one gives stranger in certain desperate moods. "Sometimes I feel as If poor little Aunt Ella belongs In an Ibsen play. She revolved around my father and adored him; If he wanted anything on earth, the world slopped 'til he got it. Now he's dead all she thinks about Is his memory. He used to like 6. Be mle taken 1.

"But sometimes I feel as If I lived In a memorial chapel." He looked at her mora closely. The note of Innocent honesty In her clear slow voice softer and slower than voices he knew was convinc ing. But he'd mixed up frankness and honesty once too often: off- handedness and sincerity. There isn't any Santa Claus, you Idiot I . ., But he went on, half In idleness, questioning her. After all she hadn't had to show him tne roaa. Do you dress in that picturesque way as part of the memorial?" He drew fire, tlungh he nad spoken half in admiration. Yes, I do. I hate It. II It's bad enough so that a passing stranger intrusive enough to comment on It, It's pretty bad; but that doesn't excuse you. It's rudH to comment on what people can't help." The Idea that there was anytning that a man mightn't comment on to a girl, stranger or no, was new to Morgan. What a queer child, with her old-fashioned words and laeaisi But he tried to mate amends. "Sorry. Why can't you help It?" "No money," Iris said sharply. "Money. Money's the worst thing in the world I" She laughed suddenly, with child's unexoected gayety. "Give me the chance to try If It's the lack of it that's the root of all my evils!" "No. it isn't." He spoke as she naa, freely, secure in the knowledge that they would not meet again. no oe continueuj MILLERS GOING EAST Stayton Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Miller are leaving for Detroit, Mich Sunday.

Never again would he be tak en for a lost, homeless dog. Never again would he be off where people could take him, not understanding dog talk, and not knowing that he belonged somewhere. His ears flapped in the breeze as he ran along. Then he sat down at the edge of some woods and played with a bone that he had hidden here once before. "It Is always well," said Rip, "to have bones scattered everywhere. In that way I can wander and yet al ways be sure of a bone to enjoy." He was having a very good time when he saw a little girl walking along the road. "Oh, doggie, nice doggie," she sa d Well, the little girl was alone. She would not capture him. And besides he was stronger than she appeared to be. Not that people went around capturing dogs at least, not when tne dog had a license and a name- on his collar.
