Tuesday, May 21, 1940 The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Sine Henry 4L : rrn 1 IMP BEFORE By Peggy I Yeelerdaj: Ths quarantine Is Mtad and r lh Tolands reluctantly depart. They have had a wonderful time. Aunt Han nah aayn she Intends lo change her will, and Toml la convinced Allen's charm la working against her. Chapter 26 Red Ink "No-no." unified Toml, "not that I know of. But don't you see what an Influence he has over people? Two weeks with the Tolands and ha turned them from stuffed shirts to utter idiots." "And without me having ft chance at them," exclaimed Pierre. "What?" burst from Toml. "I mean," Pierre hastened to say, "that I could have mitigated his In fluence." "Umhuh," agreed Toml, "but they did have a wonderful time." Mrs. Dorothy Dougherty return ed that evening. She greeted Toml ruefully. "To think I was cheated out of the quarantine," she cried. "Cheated," echoed Toml. "But you didn't like the Tolands." I "I hadn't had time to learn what J a grand gang they were. Allen says they're tops." "Tops," repeated Toml. "Allen said that?" Dotty nodded and Toml disap peared to digest it. Of course, she thought In sudden understanding. The Tolands were wealthy. Allen would probably come out of this quarantine with ft million-dollar ac count to his credit. Oh, Plerrel Pierre's shoulder was such a restful place to lean a weary head. Toml debated telling Pierre what had happened. Great-aunt Hannah hadn't of fered to nay the expenses of the 14 guests and the nurse. She, Toml Toland,, who had had to watch even the state's sales tax with an eagle eye, must defray them; let ft whole battalion of little red figures her ald a victory over the black army she had tried so hard to entrain to .the battle front. r""Allen put her up to It," she 'thought. "He showed her how that would help cheat me of my heri tage. She's like he is, only differ- ent. She wants me to lose because I violated a principle of the To lands." How could Uie world be so beau tiful and hold such monsters in it? How could that silly moon shed such radiance on roses, draw dis tilled perfume from night bloom ing stock, silver the old house, ana yet make Allen Bartcll look as though he had been formed only to add luster to his hair and laughter to his eyes. Pierre drew her closer, pressed his lips to her brow. She wondered why she was glad his Hps had stopped at her brow. For two days Toml, Abe and Pierre sought to bring order out of the chaos the Tolands had left. Late on the afternoon of the fourth day, Toml, who had been laboring over her books trying to make the black army stand up on I Its hind legs and face the red army, retreated to her room to stretch on the chaise lounge In defeat. "Hoo-hoo," came a sound through the front window. Toml frowned. Probably ft hoot- owl who'd lost his clock and was singing in the daylight. "Hoo-hoo. Toml." It came again Hoot owls don't sing Toml, she decided, and sat up to look out of the window, A woman stood at the front gate, a beautifully gown ed woman In a rose-beige suit, a smart hat. There was an Alameda cab waiting beside her. Toml went downstairs, puzzled. It might be Mrs. Bartell, though she had gone to Allen's prune ranch early In April Swiftly she went to the front gate. The woman looked familiar Her hair was shorts waved, she Imagined. Or was that a perma nent which showed under the smart hat? Beautiful complexion, pink cheeks, a touch of mascarB on the evelashes. Toml turned her head sideways 4nd looked again. Great-aunt Han nah! By iCopr. 19(0, Kinf Puiurrt YOU LOOK (TMnro Great-aunt Hannah beamed. "I put myself in the hands of one of those rejuvenators and told her to give me the works," she announced. Toml clung to the gate for sup port. We're staying here," Oreat-aunt Hannah went on. "We can't come in on your property without violat ing that ridiculous will of Timo thy's so I had Allen buy us a house. Nicer view than yours, Toml. It's at tile end of one of those streets that Jump Into the bay, so I can have my sun baths." B-but, Aunt Hannah," she gasp ed. "Chicago your interest there?" "Oh, tush," Great-aunt Hannah disposed of the mld-weslern me tropolis and her Interest in one sentence: "I've turned everything over to Allen." Allen had scored agalnl "Aunt Hannah " Toml sounded like Han nah Toland of Chicago "do you realize what you are doing?" "Perfectly," came the affable re tort. "You've turned goodness knows how much money over to a man of whom you know nothing. Why?" "Money?" came pertly from Han nah. "I've had money ever since 1 was knee-high, and what has It brought me? Responsibility, I couldn t marry because I had to keep an eye on the money. I could n't live humanly because I had to see the money was properly spent, so the Tolands could live properly Well, damn the Tolands. Prom now on I am going to live, and if I spend every cent so that the sec ond generation has to get out and dig ditches, I'll feel I've done my bit for posterity I" Toml's face expressed ft queer mixture of fear and approbation She felt like cheering, and she felt like weeping. "Darling" she laid an affec tionate hand on her aunt's arm "It isn't that I'm not too happy for words that you're going to live out here and that you're going to enjoy living for a change. It's It's Allen Bartell. "Don't you see, Aunt Hannah? You did at first. You were the first one to accuse him of Influenc ing Great-uncle Timothy to write such ft crazy will. And the Major, right In court, declared you folks were bringing a contest of the will because Allen had handled it In such a way the place would even tually revert to him." Great-aunt Hannah called to the cab driver and stepped Into the cab She lowered the window and looked at her grandnlece. "My dear child," she said, "any one who can Influence a Toland to do anything a Toland doesn't want to do is worth cultivating. Brooks, she spoke to the driver, "take me back to Alameda where I'm allowed to have a mind of my own." Brooks, the Alameda taxi and Miss Hannah Toland. late of Chi cago, left Toml Toland standing on the roadside in a cloud of their dust. "You look exactly like ft hen who's hatched a duck," remarked Dorothy Dougherty, coming down the road from the mall-box. "Who was your visiting dowager?" "The duck," said Toml thought fully. "And I do feel Just like a hen standing on the shore watching my newly hatched foundling take off Into deep waters." And the worst of It was, she thought, as she went again to her office, she had exposed Aunt Han nah to Allen. She should have made Bartell stay on his property and tne Tolands on theirs Toml went into a huddle with her accounts. If she sold as manv frogs In the last half of the sea son as she sold In the first, she would fall short of her quota three thousand dollars. "Why didn't I wait until winter to expand?" she cried. Irritably. "Of course, next season I'd reap the benefits, but It looks as though I might not be here next season. (Continued tomorrow) Carl Anderson N J 6yndiitf , Int.
