DON'T MARRY THE MAN -$y Jmwm Chapter 14 Tha Shirt If Patched Reluctantly Klt-flmyth reached fai an Inner pocket and withdrew the document. Kathleen looked at it to be iure It had not been tamp ered with. She moved her bags acrow the Una onto MacDonald nrooertr. "Now 0 wire my father that his chance of claiming I tu ur.au thorlied and willful In turning Tha Oolden Olrl over to the rescue of the MacDonald mlnera, la pretty elim. Ai long u he hadnt enough trust In me to write me, you can tell him for me, that I am no longer a Gregory and I'll appear galnat him If ha triea to bring uch a suit." "No longer a Oregory . . . ha!1 Kit-Smyth Jumped Into his car and drove away. Kathleen stood a moment. She had Just renounced her own peo ple. The MacDonalds would wel come her, but she wasn't ready to accept them as an alternative. Was there no truly neutral round In Neutrality? Balmy's house I Wearily she made the several trips down. The old shepherd greeted her Joyously, es corting her each time she went fori additional bags. As Balmy had prophesied, the door was unlocked, there was fire wood and tea In the cannlster. As she brewed tlv tea and toasted old bread. Kathleen Indulged In serious thinking. For the first time in her life she was truly alone. She believed Donald loved her and would ask her to become a Mao Donald, but even In his delirium he had said nothing of marriage. And she had thought her father loved; her and believed in her. Reaction from the dramatic ten. slon of the previous daya and night set In. She sought Balmy's cot and for many nours turned ana tossed. Perhaps she had been wrong In everything. She was young, her father was old and full of rip wis dom. The next morning Kathleen car ried her breakfast to the terrace. Bridget found her there. "We saw amok coming from the chimney," aha explained. "W had no idea where you d gnne to. nit Smyth aald you wouldn't be on Oregory property. Why didn't you come to us?" "I couldn't, and this Isn't Oregory property. It's Balmy'. Bridget, how . , , have they heard about Donald 1 mean?" Bridget nodded, her eyes troubled. "He's fin. Ke needed the rest per haps mora than anything. He sent for hi mother last night." Kathleen nodded. He had sent for his mother. He hadn't sent for her. "That Awful Man!' "The men are being transferred to the MacDonald hospital today, those who aren't ready to come home. Kit-Smyth ordered them off the property. Doctor Cleveland and he had a peach of a row. "What are you going to do, Kath leen? Hadn't you better come up with us?" "I'll wait for Balmy, thea I'm go. tag on." ''Bridget waited a few moments as though desirous of saying some. thing. "Well," she stood up, "111 see you before you leave. "Oh." she thrust forward a package she had asked me to give this to you Kathleen barely heard her. Don ald hadnt called for her. He hadnt sent word to her. Nothing else mat tered. She could at least leave the scene with flags flying. She could t least greet Old Balmy In festive attire. Balmy would like to see her truly feminine. In her bags, somewhere, there was a whit ruffled dress em broidered in tiny yellow rosebuds. Shea don that. She felt better after that: tied her eurla back with a thin yellow rib bon and went back to the terrace feeling mora In tune with the apple tree. It was then sh saw the package. It contained the other half of the blood-stained shirt; the half Old By Bowmtn MacDonald must hav worn. She would sew the two together and give the whole to Bridget. No matter what laws the Oregorys laid down the people of Neutrality would no longer be divided. The last stitch was taken, the thread knotted when she heard someone come around the house. Donald MacDonald paused on the edge of the terrace to look at the girl who waited, then he walked forward with his sure step. Kathleen believed her heart waited with her, her breath waited. "I brought you some wires," said MacDonald. "So nlc of you," murmured Kath leen. The rose faded from her cheeks with her acute disappoint ment, her eyes darkened. "Don't let me detain you. "You're not." He sat on the stone wall as though grateful for rest, and lighted a cigarette. "Oo on read them, don't mind me. "I dont . , . and won'tl" she re torted answering both. She ripped open the first wire. DON'T HARRY THAT MAN! BEATRICE OREOORY. She tore open the second. ALL IS FORGIVEN. COMB HOME DON'T MARRY THAT AWFUL MAN 1 MOTHER. She opened the third. It was much too long for a Scotchman -to send as a straight wire, but evidently Angus Oregory wasn't feeling Scotch. With Increasing delight his daughter read. DEAR CHILD I AM PROUD or YOU.

'fighting My Lore' She laid the win aside and look ed at "the man." It was ridiculous to admire anyone as much aa she admired him. It was rather fright ening to feel your lifetime's happi ness depended upon him. "Peel better?" He smiled at her and the world was suddenly right ed, in focus, beautiful. Kathleen handed him the tele gram. He read It slowly, hi face reflecting the emotion each phrase produced. And when he reached the final line he aald, "Hat Hurrah for him. See, he's told you not to marry me. For the first time I have some hope. I've never yet seen uU3B0Zlftl 1 RADIO PROGRAM Kftf,M I SI KIImfcIm TlMdir P.

"Yet?" questioned Kathleen. "That' what I aid. Now stay where you are." He reached out to draw her close, then his voice chang. ed from triumph to seriousness. "Do you know dear, I've wanted to do this from the moment I saw you? I didn't know the desire to punish and to love were so Involved. I fought it I wasn't fighting you, I was fighting myself, fighting my love for you. I tried to build up a good strong hatred and It turned on me. You'll never know " When Kathleen had use of her Hps again, she exclaimed. "What do you mean I'll never know? Do you think I wanted to love you; you stlff-knecked MacDonald?" They were at It again. Balmy, car ried around the rear of the house, saw MacDonald shaking Kathleen by the shoulders, Kathleen flaying at him with an old shirt, a blood stained shirt, a ahtrt that had been torn In two . . , and mended "Congratulations," said Balmy. They stopped their quarreling then, to sit, Kathleen In the circle of Donald's arm, while they talked to the old man. "Balm y, by the way," offered MacDonald, "you might, like to know that I've sent on the right' of-way. I spent most of the night with mother and my attorneys drawing up the contract I believe Angus Oregory will agree to the terms. From now on Neutrality will be Just that, a Neutral town, and a friendly one. I want to turn the big house into a Community hall one big community hall with no dividing line. I have you two to thank for this opportunity. If those men hadn't been brought out alive, I'd have felt their death on my hands. The Oregorys would have tunneled through if I'd given right- of-way when it was requested; there would have been a way out for the men. I thought I was doing right by the Oregory miners when I re. fused. I had to learn my Idea of right wasn't" Balmy held up his hand. "You had to learn that Ideas based on hatred were boomerangs. Ideas baa- ed on love are the same, but you welcome their return. Now you two run along and let an old man sleep. My work Is done. Prom now on 111 putter around my garden and among my people. I am very tired." Kathleen and Donald walked slowly up the hill, then paused to look down on Neutrality. Their work had Just begun. This was their town; theirs to turn into a place of peace.
