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.
Joey departed for town with a

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

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.

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

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.
