WNU Service SYNOPSIS Kezia Marsh, pretty, selfish and twenty, a r rives home in Corinth from school and is met by her older brother, Hugh. He drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and understanding soul, welcomes her. Kezia’s sis ter, Margery, plump and matronly with the care of three children, is at lunch with them. Hugh’s wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way back to his job at the steel plant founded by one of his fore bears, Hugh passes Doc H iller, a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently be cause of Dorrie’s antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh wakens the next morning from a dream about her late husband, Jim, whose unstable char acter she fears Kezia has Inherited. Ellen Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically inclined girl who is a distant niece of Flu vanna’s. She happily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue. Ellen fears that her father and mother, Gavin and Lizzie, will not approve the match. Hugh and D o r rie go out to the Freeland Farms to dance with their friends, Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who has been out of work, has a new position. Cun and Dorrie dance together and then disappear for a while. Dancing with Joan, Hugh is amazed to find her in tears. Apparently she has some secret worry over her husband, Cun. When Ellen and Jerry speak about their engagement to Ellen’s par ents, Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym pathizes with her imagined ailments. The m at ter is left pending. Unexpectedly Hugh has to visit a neighboring city on business. Return ing home to ask Dorrie to accompa..« him be finds her telephoning. In confusion she quick ly hangs up without saying good by. She finally agrees to accompany him. They spend a delightful day and Hugh is happy. At a family party, Kezia encounters Jerry. Ellen is disturbed when Jerry is absorbed by Kezia. Kezia goes out of her way to charm Jerry. Fluvanna is concerned about Kezia, who is evasive about dates she has been having at night. She muses over the resemblance of Kezia to her late husband, recalling how tem peramental, moody and improvident he had been. She recalls the tragic picture of his death— how after drinking and gambling to excess he is faced with financial ruin, how he tries to force her to mortgage her resources to pay his debts and threatens her with a gun, how in a struggle for its possession he is fatally wounded. CHAPTER VI—Continued —12— “ I’ve been counting the days and it seems as though I could scarcely wait. The cabin has a big fire place where we can burn legs on cool nights; it’s near enough to town — ten miles — so that our friends can drive out to see us. We’ll have suppers for them—play cards—sing—dance to the radio.” “Friends,” mused Hugh. “Any special ones?” “Special?” The reticence of her English blood made her look sud denly shy. “ You mean men? Well, there’s always someone who—takes an interest.” “And he'll come out?” “ Yes.” “ We can’t get along very well unless someone takes an interest, can we? If it’s too special I’ll lose my very good stenographer, how ever. That would be a calamity— unless—it was essential to your happiness.” “ He hasn’t enough money,” said Miss Ruskin in a low tone She moved her pad on her knee and lifted her pencil for his dictctioa. Hugh turned in his swivel chair and picked up a sheai of letters “ J u s t one or two of th e se sh o "’-! go out today. The others can wait. I know you want to get away early.” “ Mr. Marsh,’’ said Miss Ruskin speaking with an effort, “you say we can’t get along without some one who takes an interest. I say we can’t get along without a vaca tion. It helps us to look at things differently; we are stronger io take care of our troubles when we come back. You haven't had a vacation. You—you look as if you needed one.” Hugh shook his head. “Just lack of exercise. I’m all right. Too many problems this rummer to get away. Starting tonight. I’m walk ing home—two miles. I’m going to walk night and morning—exercise is all I need." After she left the room, he re membered that Doc Hiller, whom he had run into at lunch had said the same tiling. Doc had asked him what he was doing to himself— burning the candle at both ends? He had gazed at him critically. "You’d better drop in some noon, let me look you over. That old plant will be there after you’re dead and gore, my boy. You are killing yourself with overwork.” He took his hat to leave the of fice. Five o’clock—Saturday after noon. He would walk home, al though he didn't feel like it. It woiild be good to have a vaca tion, play and swim as Miss Ruskin Intended doing, but that was out of the question. He had urged Dorrie to go away, visit her sister Beryl, or her mother who had m ar ried a dentist in Rochester, go to the seashore. But she had shaken her head. She was contented here. It was no fun at the seashore if he couldn't go along. Late Saturday afternoon traffic tied up the crossings in a tangle of cars and hurrying pedestrians. The September heat was as oppresive as that of July, and it seemed a long way to his home. When he entered his front door he was grate ful for the coolness of the house. He whistled a signal and received an answer from upstairs. He looked at the paper foi a few min utes before going up. Dorrie was dressing when he entered their room, was pinning the shoulder of her yellow dress. She pointed to her cheek and he kissed her there.
