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

Tha Oolden Olrl over to the rescue
of the MacDonald mlnera, la pretty

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

"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

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.

She tore open the second.

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.

'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

you do anything you were ordered to
do."
"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.
