MARTINIQUE APPEASEMENT
—10—
Cherry leaned against the rough homespun shoulder of Kelly's coat
and listened dreamily although this talk was mostly about Fran.
"She brought me down to the Prin
gles' to make arrangements and
things. That was on Thursday, two
weeks ago."
"I didn’t know Fran was there!"
He was honestly astonished. "Did
she come to see Alice Rasmussen?"
"Well, maybe she didn’t." Again
Cherry must stand corrected about
Fran.
Instantly the solution oc
curred to her Fran had learned in
some way that Kelly was there, that
by an extraordinary accident he was
the Rasmussens' guest And she had
determined to avoid him.
Perhaps she had made her other
call first and someone there had
happened to mention him. What
ever she had done. Cherry knew she
could believe Kelly now. for his con
sternation at the thought of her hav
ing been so near and his having
missed her was unmistakably gen
uine.
This might be her chance to speak
to him of Fran.
"Maybe she didn't want to see
you. Kelly. Maybe she thought it
would be no use,” she offered tim
idly.
"I haven't any illusions as to its
being any use. if by ’it’ you mean
my feeling for her.” he answered
decisively, almost savagely, and
there was a silence. After a mo
ment or two he said that he was sor
ry to be so rude, and they talked
by rather awkward degrees of other
things until they were at ease again
But the morning’s gala mood was
hard to recapture, and Cherry felt
something lacking in the beginning
of the day. The bridge and the
Sausalito bills were wreathed and
buried in fog; the picnic turned it
self into a house party. Three or
four friends had been asked to lunch
with Kelly, all bringing picnic con
tributions far more suited to the
woods or the beach than to the liv
ing room.
Cherry’s cheeks glowed; more
than once the others smiled to hear
her ringing laughter.
"Oh. Kelly." she said ingenuous
ly when they were back beside the
fire again, "it's such glorious fun
here! Why can’t we all stay here al
ways!”
"All right by me," Kelly said, busy
with drinks.
"It seems so horrible to go out
again into the fog!”
"We’ll give you girls the bed
room," Kelly arranged it, "and we
can go over to the studio and bunk
there.”
"Oh, no!” Cherry turned a fire
flushed face toward the room. ”1
was only fooling. I have to be at
Judge Marshbanks' for dinner.”
"We have to go. We’ll take you
over,” said little Mrs. Wilcox.
“No I’m responsible," Kelly told
them. “I brought her here and I’ll
see that she gets back safely."
Cherry leaned against the
rough homespun shoulder of Kel
ly’s coat and listened dreamily
although this talk was mostly
about Fran.
She was deliciously tired after the
long day in the open air. She thought
how she loved him. and how proud
she would be to belong here, in the
front seat of his car. resting against
him.
They reached the Marshbanks
house only too soon for her. and she
said good night and ran up the steps.
Cherry found a comfortable robe,
slippers ant^a nightgown laid out for
her. She was anticipating the com
fort of an hpur’s rest and reading
before Amy arrived when there was
a knock at her door.
A little puzzled, she said "Come
in,” her heart leaping with irration
al terror when the invitation was
accepted by old Mrs. Marshbanks,
the formidable woman who was her
grandmother and Amy’s.
“I hoped I'd find you alone, Miss
Rawlings. I wanted to speak to
you," Dora Marshbanks said. She
advanced to a deep chair, seated
herself and by a slight inclination
of her head indicated that Cherry
was also to be seated.
“I don’t know whether you know,”
the older woman began, with a
steady look, “how definitely I object
to your presence in this house. You
should know, for I've asked my son
to speak to you of it but I have
nc idea that he has carried out my
wishes up to this time.
For a few seconds the words did
not seem to make sense to Cherry;
their shocking import reached her.

felt her throat thicken and her hands
grow cold.
“Or has he done so?” demanded
Mrs. Marshbanks.
"He—he—No," was ail Cherry

"I thought he hadn't I thought
even the least sensitive person would
hardly come here after any sugges

mistress of this house." said the old
lady, in a sort of cold passion, "but
I am not a cipher yet! 1 am asking
you civilly not to make it a habit
to come here."
Cherry*sat staring at her In a
fascinated horror of silence.
"You know your own history."
said the inflexible voice. "You know
why your presence here is an—an
insult to decency and to me. I bit
terly regret the—circumstances that
have given you what you seem to
consider a right to regard yourself
as a daughter of the house!”
”1 am a daughter of the house!”
Cherry answered, her own words
surprising her as much as they could
possibly have surprised her compan
ion.
"How dare you say that!” Mrs.
Marshbanks said sharply.
“You
have absolutely no claim. You have
been well established in life; you

you have!”
"I am not afraid of losing it, and
I am not afraid of you!” said Cher
ry, at white heat. "1 wiU come to
this house as long as Amy and Fran
and the judge want me! I wish you
would go out of my room! I am
sorry that any blood of yours runs
in my veins!”
"And you think you can go on
with your college work, be asked
about in good society, once your
history is known?” the older woman
demanded, rising. "You think that
Amy will continue to think you the
most charming friend in the world
once she knows that you are her
half sister, that you are the living
reminder of her father's weakness
and immorality. I think you won't
risk that. I think you’ll realize that
only you can keep your own people
from being disgraced in the eyes of
the world. Your own father and your
mother too, you know.”
/’Your own son!” cried Cherry.
"What about Fran’s own son?”
Amy asked, coming in from her
room, tired and cold and blown after
her long ride. "What’s Uncle Jud
done? Why. what’s . . .” She looked
to amazement and concern from one
face to the other. “What is It?" I
she asked. "What were you saying
about Uncle Jud?"
There was a silence while the
three looked at one another. It
seemed to Cherry to last for a long,
long time.
“There we stood like statues,”
Cherry said, telling Kelly about it a
few weeks later, "until 1 thought we
must all be frozen! Amy knew some
thing was horribly wrong, and she
kept asking ‘What is it? What is it?’
and old Mrs. Marshbanks was sort
of panting, and she wouldn't say
anything, and I couldn't. And final
ly Amy said: 'I know it’s about un
cle. because 1 heard Cherry say
so!’ ’’
“You hadn't said so?” Kelly was
lying face down in the fresh, deep
grass now, biting a blade thought
fully; he looked up at her. The sun
was sinking. Below the hill where
Cherry and Kelly were sitting were
the lake and the college buildings
and »eyond them the roofs of Palo
Alto.
“No, I hadn’t said a word about'
the judge, but I had said 'your
son' and Amy heard that!” Cherry
answered. "That’s the whole trou
ble! That old fiend—that old inqulsi-
tioner—had told me that if I didn't
break off my friendship with Amy,
she’d tell everyone who I was—who
I am, and I said that would mean
her son was in it too!”
“You meant that wouldn't help
her family reputation much?" Kelly
asked, with a faint smile.

RED CROSS DONOR
Several weeks ago Mrs Roosevelt
phoned the Red Cross to say that
■he wanted to donate blood to the
Washington blood bunk, but wanted
no publicity.
Red Cross offiemh agreed and the
visit went off without any fanfare.
Mr». Roosevelt merely took her
place in line with other blood donors,
rolled up her sleeve, had a pint
drawn from her arm. and went on
about her business.
Some weeks later, Red Cross of
ficials were astounded to have Mrs.
Roosevelt appesr at the blood bank
again. This time she had not tele
phoned. but they felt their pledge of
no publicity still held good. Once
again, the First Lady took her place
with other blood donors, and scarce
ly anyone knew she had been there.
Red Cross officials wished they
could have publicized the incident,
because they were in the middle of
their drive for funds. However, they
did not do so. und this column

War Production board officials tell
of a heavy snow-and-slcet storm that
blanketed Seattle and left the Boeing
Aircraft plant snowbound, unable
to operate for two days. By the end
of the week roads had been opened,
and Boeing broadcast a back-to-work
call.
Men came to the gates of the plant,
but stopped there. And they de
clined to go further until they could
be assured of receiving time-and-a-
half pay for week-end work.
"But you haven't put in 40 hours
this week,” officials retorted.
The men stood their ground, how
ever, and Boeing officials telephoned
Washington for advice. They talked
with Madame Perkins, who ruled
that nothing should be allowed to
interfere with production and that
the men should be paid.
