U.ift Steta MePhersoa Bporu Final. TWO AGAINST LOVE by Frances Hanna Th, Characters: Jorrryn Russ.ll. bn tlful h.lrrss. Tally Mack, rounf farmer whose family his inherited half the Rus sell estate. Beadlff. Yesterdar: Gramp Ivea Thorn a phony tip on oil lands. Then Oramp U Injured by . hlt-and run driver. the Chapter 24 The Invalid'. Visitor. Much to the amazement of entire Mack family, both Thorn dyke and Jocelyn became dally vis itors to the sunny front bedroom where Gramp lay helpless but far from speechless. Jocelyn, on the second day of Cramp's confinement, asked per mission of Mrs. Mack to use the in-ter-communicatlng door between the second floor hallways; so the Macks did not always see her come and go, yet her voice, sometimes eager and laughing, sometimes low and soothing, could be heard min gling with Cramp's crackling fal setto and delighted cackle. She brought him roses, hyacinths, and tall red gladioli from her garden. also pictures of her grandmother and colorful stories of the early days in California. In the beginning she admitted honestly to herself she had come because she felt a grudging obi gation; because she remembered how much Grandma Jocelyn had once loved this old man. What she did not admit honestly to herself was a growing. Impelling, rather frightening urge to see more of young Talbot; frightening because so many years she had accepted placidly the fact of her eventual marriage to Geoffrey Renting; yet now that it was Imminent she found herself plagued by disturb ine thoughts and memories. "Josie's a right sweet girl," Oramp imparted to Tally when they were alone a few minutes one morning. "She's Just always had too much money an' her grandma spoiled her. She sets in here an talks an' laughs like any girl. 1 got a sneakin' idea things is goin' to change a powerful lot" "Sure," Tally agreed, his face Inscrutable, "she's going to marry Geoffrey Kensing in a little over two weeks and leave her. to live In his big town house." "You don't, want her leavln'?" old Mack questioned softly. Tally shrugged. "What differ- ence can It possibly make to me? She hates the sight of mo. one told me so often enough." "Well" Gramp drawled "if wanted a gal I wouldn't let her get awav. Not easy-like, anynow. Tally changed to the subject of Thorndyke. "I can't figure why he comes to see you, Grarr.n. He "eve. had any use for us. Now he bounces in and out of the house with the look of a kid hiding In a deeD. dark secret" "Mebbe he is. Now quit totherln' me. Tally." The same ouestion occurred to Jocelyn but Thorn's explanation to her was no more satisfactory than old Talbot Mark's to Tally Two weeks after ranip's a'd dent Thorn stole Into his room with the air of a conspirator and hilt the door. "I cloned the deal!" he declared extending a deed for Gramp's in spection. "That thousand acres cost me exactly $40,000. I hated the Idea of sinking all my capital, but I figured it was really no risk oe eaiuui Inside of another month II sell It to the government at a big profit. If anything harpens that I don t. III borrow some moiw the land and arm lor on my.." Mvh ill do that, anyhow Still. that would take more tlmr and if I tan act a oulck turn-rier i ll proo evhlv make as much Profit. Just wait until Nola hears .bout this'" Nat Worried a Bit" Gramp almost choked with sup pressed glee. He chewed hard on his tobacco until he felt his voice could be trusted, then .aid: Thaf a heap o' cash to put out on my say-so. What if that geologist was wrong? What if there wot no oil?" "No ... no oil?" Thorn stuttered bis fact lining with conatema' Hon. "But that couldn't happen it couldn't. You said the land was full of oil and the government wanted it!" "Sure," Gramp soothed. "1 Jest was supposln'. If I was you, though. I'd get a geologist on my own to take a look at the property before writln' the gov'ment.'' A good idea," Thorn concurred, "even if there lsnt the slightest doubt in our minds. It pays to have conclusive proof. Say ..." he faced the old man with sudden suspicion . "why didn't you think of that before I bought the land? I should have Investigated first! The only reason I didn't was because you said to keep It secret and I was afraid someone might get wind of it and offer a higher price than 1 could pay." "Mebbe so," Gramp nodded. Mebbe so. You didn't tell me you was goln' to buy It right off, though, or I mlght've figured some way o' making sure. Cant blame me for somethln' you didn't tell me." Well, I guess that's true enough. I was hasty, I suppose, but I'm not worried. Not worried a bit." Know when you're liable to get the abstract on the property?" "Abstract? Oh you mean the paper which gives the history of the land, its owners, et cetera" Yep." Oramp appeared slignuy apprehensive. 'Oh. I don t know, rreny soon, x guess. I'll have to have It, I sup pose, before I sell it to the govern ment." When Thorndyke had gone to make arrangements for a geologist to look over and make a report on the property. Cramp settled back Into his pile of pillows. He had counted on Thorn, utterly lnexper enced in business and financial matters, to swallow the hook as well as the bait. So far, so good, nut when Thorn found out the truth there was apt to be a major cata clysm 1 However. Oramp ruminated, Dis missing worry from his mind, there was yet another Job to do. Some how he had to maneuver this two legged horse called Geoffrey off the track. Jocelyn. having spent the enure afternoon watching Geoff and his polo team work out the new string of ponies on the Dunes Polo field, demanded tea and sandwiches of him when he emerged from the shower, his fair hair plastered ag ainst his skull, his big square body encased In white flannels Geoff eulogised his horses over the tea table in the cool club patio until he observed, even lit his ab sorption, that Jocelyn was pay ing no attention. Her eyes had a vague, dreamy light in them and her mouth drooped pensively at the comers. "Are you bored, Lyn?" "Yes, Geoff, I am." "Well, it's Just a mood." he dls missed equably. "You like horses Just as much as I do. When are you going to San Francisco on I shopping tour for your trousseau? "I don t know. There was an evasive quality in her tone which annoyed him. "But, Lyn, our wedding Is only a little more than two weeks off." "I know it. Take me home now will you? I promised Oramp to run in for awhile before dinner." "Aren't you being rather rldicu. lous, Lyn? Running in to see that old crack-pot every day. I don't like It. As a matter of fact, I don't think you care a darn about him or his broken legs; you Just use him as an excuse to see that grandson of his!" "Now you re being ridiculous!' she flared. "I use the communlcat Ing door on the upper floor and I seldom see a Mack." "Much to your disappointment." he grumbled. "First you have a fit because they move in, then you go Into tantrums because they mutilate Seacllff. and now you practically live with them!" "That is not true. Vouie being stupidly Jealous, Oeoff. I did resent them at first I still feel badly about Seacliff but I am beginning to un derstand their side of It. They they couldn't help It. They had to live and eat. Even if they havent illus' trtous ancestors they are human be-tags." "Well, I don't want you running in there. People tal' enough as It Is about you and young Talbot." "I don't believe you. You're mak' lng that up and it's a mean story! You know Grandma wanted the Macks at Seacllff. You know she always cared about old Talbot, went to see him for her sake. I knew she'd want me to. I keep on going now because I want to. It's fun like Gramp."
