Chapter It Old Balmy Kathleen didn't know which sur prised her the more, herself In this undignified position, lunching with mucher, or the cake. 1 made It," Balmy told her. "Per haps you would have tea with me some Sunday? This Sunday? Ill have some more. I've no wife to make It for me, these twenty years," be added. Kathleen accepted for herself and for Bridget. They taalked of other things, his garden, the dog, the mine, then when the others reap peared he took Kathleen's hand again. "I don't talk overmuch, lass," he said, softly, and returning to his cage, Kathleen wondered what he meant. - Kit-Smyth discussed Balmy, all of the way to hts quarters, an Im posing bungalow on a low hill be yond the mine. '1 wish I could get rid of that man, he fumed. "He gets worse vary day. Take the way he acted towards you, Miss Riley " "He acted the part of a gentle man," snapped Kathleen. "As far as his calling me, whatever It was, I once dashed through a store and kissed a strange woman thinking she was my mother." "Oh, I know, but . . . well, It's his religion. Not that he preaches It, but he Insists upon living It. If any body hands htm a dirty deal, he blesses them. Now what can you do with a man like that? You can't keep on fighting him." Bridget's laugh trilled out. "He has you there," she admitted. "Is that why you don't fire him?" Moving In "No, and he's getting too old to work. Old Angus brought him over from Scotland and when the boss tiled we found his will had taken care of Balmy from that time on. He could own his own property and If he wanted more he could have It. And when he wanted to, mind you, wanted to stop work, we were to keep on paying htm full salary and pay for any hospital or doctor's care he'd need." Kathleen's eyes were wide with hope. Balmy had not only been her grandfathers miner, he'd been hts friend. Now she could learn all she wanted to learn. "Funny his taking you for Old An gus," mused Kit-Smyth as they drove up before his bungalow. Both girls admired Kit -Smyth's home. It was roomy, a bit over-furnished, but comfortable In a man nish way. The Scotch woman who presided over the domicile was dour and disapproving at his entertaining young ladles, until Kathleen re moved her hat, then she beamed. "You'll have ptenty of attention from the Gregorys," Kit-Smyth told Kathleen, as the woman re tired from the room. "They have a softness for red-haired people. Old Angus had hair like a carrot top when he was young." "A parrot top" fame irllv from Kathleen, "Is green. But Tin glad someone likes it. I met that Mao Donald person and he positively Insulted me because of my hair.' The girls thought Kit-Smyth laughed unnecessarily loud and long. "The MacDonalds can't take It. They can do what they want to doll up their town but they haven't a mine like ours and that's what counts In the long run." According to Kit-Smyth, an swering a call from The Golden Girl, the Oregorys had consented to renting their house. "You can move in, immediately, he assured them. He sent for a house-boy, a young Ute Indian and this "Joey-wlde-eyes," looked at Kathleen and &wore silent allegiance to her. Joey-wide eyes, whose name was promptly abbreviated to Joey by the girls, took them first to the ho tel to pick up their car and bag gage while he drove on to open the house. Approaching her grandfather's home, Kathleen felt a strange In terest. When there nad been a dis cussion of family background, It had always, heretofore, revolved around her mother's family. With out analyzing the clan's motive, she had accepted a heritage of knights and ladles, baronial castles and estates. From what she had heard, old Angus Gregory was far from genteel. She felt sudden kin ship. There were times when she longed to be definitely barbarous. Spartan Simplicity The front door of heavy oak swung open and the girls stepped immediately into the living room, Kathleen looked around, then looked at Bridget. "This," remarked her friend, "is what is known as Spartan sim plicity." I like It," declared Kathleen, belligerently. "Urn," agreed Bridget. "Person ally, I could do with some cush ions." They followed Joey to the sec ond floor whre three bedrooms boasted of furniture as Gargantuan in size as they were unyielding in surface. Bridget chose the smallest of the three because the north windows gave view to a cone-shaped peak, and because "the fireplace Is with in heating distance of the bed." Kathleen hurried to the master room. It opened south and west with a view that would be awe inspiring once the windows were cleared of their layers of dirt. "I'll take this" she stated. "No, Miss," protested Joey. "Old Angus depart from this bed. His woman depart from here, too." "I still like It," she said. "But Miss Cleo," walled Joey, some time spirit he come back to place from where depart, and who know, maybe spirit of Old Angus and Old Angus' woman don't like you. A little chill began coursing up and down Kathleen's spine. She looked at the wide bed. Her grand parent had died on that. She'd never encountered death in any form. The thought of It gave her a most unpleasant sensation. Then her heels set. "I ll be bless ed if I'm going to let the ghosts of anyone's ancestors run me out of a room I've chosen.

"And a cat, Joey, shop for a cat with a dozen kittens. There are mice in here as big as donkeys. "Pack rats," Joey had Informed her. Kathleen wandered about the house on an Inspection tour. She found framed lithographs of The Golden Girl In all Its stages of de velopment. There were two gaudi ly painted photographic enlarge ments in convex frames. One was her grandfather, no one but Old Angus could have grown a beard like that. She expected to hear voice boom through at any mo ment She studied the second with swift Interest. Was this young wo man her grandmother? But she was beautiful with the rich, lan guid beauty of the Latin race. And she reminded her of someone. peclally the eyes with their pas sionate defiance . . . Just as the living room had shown The Golden Girl In Its var ious stages of development, the pictures in the master bedroom revenled photographs of her fath er, and of herself, from babyhood to the day of the old man s death, Kathleen removed these immediately. Suddenly she realized that this house was hers; her very own. The mine might be shared by other members of the clan, but this prop erty belonged to the immediate descendants of the Angus Greg orys and she was the last of the line. Mentally, Kathleen began refur nishing, decorating, modernizing the house. She confided her plans to Bridget. Bridget wa lted a moment though dreading to crush this first desire to create a home. "You'll have to let that o for a little while," she warned. This Is a rented house and yfu're a work ing girl on SabbatlcM leave." Bridget, Investigating deep chests for the bedding and linen she'd been advised they held, looked up. "These smell to the high heavens. They've enough moth preventative Cleo, what are you worrying about?" "I'm not worrying, I'm Just won dering where Dad, coming from a home like this, gets his flair for color and rich fabrics. He's posi tively Oriental in taste. Of course it could be a psychological revolt" "Look!" Bridget's arm had dip ped into a chest. Now they came out dripping with cascades of col ored lights, the gleam of scarlet satin, silk of peacock blue, sheen of golden velvet, brocades, tarnished metal cloth. "Here's your answer, she told Kathleen. "These are ancient, and, my dear, there's a mystery In this house we haven't known existed." Kathleen said nothing. She felt she was on the threshold of a new world and a word spoken, might shatter its fragile entity. Bedding was found and aired In the waning sun, then darkness gathered and the girls dined before the living room hearth on bread. cheese and tea, refusing to share the kitchen with the pack rats. Joey's contribution to the house hold, sprawled, jumped and rolled on the hearth-stone. It wasn't the season for kittens, he explained, so he'd brought a mother cat with her latest littler now grown to formid able proportions. The mother cat, a cross between a tiger and a calico, with a white vest and a few black spots thrown in for good measure, was promptly called Circe; the kittens collec tively tabulated as the forty-niners. That night Kathleen slept In the bed from which her grandparents had departed. She neither thought nor dreamed of them. Her mind was occupied with bitter triumph. Here she was, literally in the same building with Donald Mac Don a Id. And he was coming into this side of the house, not to see Bridget, but to visit a "damned Gregory." Curled Into the one warm Island on a vast, hard sea of Icy sheets, she mapped her campaign. First on the list was control of her tem per, instead of retorting In kind, she would give that MacDonald person such sweet answers he'd be ashamed of himself. By remaining on the scene, she could turn on the charm which had reduced other men to subjection, then when she had him Just where she wanted him, she'd bargain for the right-of-way.
