Cherry laughed and Re­ becca smiled at Cherry and they immediately liked each other. "It was all stuff he’d never dreamed of mentioning to us before." said Re­ becca. "But I think I hit some of it.

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. in al) its deadly simplicity and she felt her throat thicken and her hands grow cold. “Or has he done so?” demanded Mrs. Marshbanks. "He—he—No," was ail Cherry could feebly stammer. "I thought he hadn't I thought even the least sensitive person would hardly come here after any sugges­ tion from him. I am no longer the 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 are being cared for now Be care­ ful that you don't lose even what 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. (TO BE CONTINUED) How tolerant we have been of the French island of Martinique, for two yeurs thumbing its nose at us with­ in bombing distance of the Panama canal. Is illustrated by u conversa­ tion which took place between the state department's Sam Reber and treasury department officials. Reber had gone to Martinique to negotiate With Vichy Adtnlrul Robert regarding the airplane carrier, cruisers and six oil tankers rusting In Martinique waters. Subsequent­ ly, the stutc department announced that an agreement had been readied with Admiral Robert whereby these ships would be turned over to Die U. S. A Months have passed, how­ ever. with no result After state department envoy Reber returned, treasury officials asked him: "What about the gold in Marti­ nique? Whnt is to become of that'" They referred to 25 billions of gold francs still stored In Martinique "Oh.” replied Iiebcr, "thut didn't come up.” "Wasn't II even mentioned?” asked treasury officials, who remem­ bered how France had defaulted on her debts from World War I, still owing us several billion dollars "No," replied Reber, "did you think it would be safer up here?" "Well, it certainly isn’t very safe down there." countered the treasury. "We decided." replied Reber, "that we didn't want to do anything which might infringe on the sov­ ereignty of France " That ended the matter. The gold Is still in Martinique, und Admiral Robert, who apparently isn't much impressed by the subtleties of state department apjieasement, has con­ tinued to thumb' his nose at the United States.

Name Addicia 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 learned of the facts quite by acci- dent. • • • PAY BEFORE PATRIOTISM 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. see MERRY-GO-ROUND C. U.
