A auarrel. a tight and a mad motor ride end in ths elopement of Hopo ttoss and Dickey Dal. Hops U seventeen end Dickey it still in eolUgt, but they have decided to settls down seriously. The decision might not have been to abrupt it Hope' family had not disapproved of Dickey's father, "Hlckey," a the' atrical manager in Seio York, and her mother had not lorhidden her to have Dickey in the houss. Ths Jtoss family, outstanding in West Chester county society, considers Dlrkey an outsider, Sou) the diffi culty is to tell sir. and Mrs. Host al'Out the marriage, tltckey has welcomed the runaways, but states that IHckey must not leave college to work, as. hs vitshes. Us will finance the couple while Dickey studies. Uope and Dickey have totted to "stick by, no matter vhot." fltrkcy promised to tele 'hone Mr. Hose, and Hops is our ously icalting to hear his report. Cbapte.' 15 PANIC TRAILS HOPE "I DO sea It," nodded Hope breath- lessly over lior coffee. "I want Dickey to finish college, too. I In list upon It. And It'll be lots of fun . to lire up In Harmouth." This last Hlckey dismissed as beyond hint. "So much for my end," he ex plained. "I'm very fond of Hope and proud of her. I'll do anything lo ,nake you two kids happy. As long as you're square with each other and with me. "Now don't thank me. We hae other matters to consider. Hope': family. Thjy aro dreadfully upset. It's only natural, Half the night they'vo been searching for Hope. Borne boy named Crandall came back with the story of how you were drunk, Dickey." "I was not!" denied the bride- . groom hotly. "I had a couple of drinks because I was mad wltb Hope, but I " "Well, didn't think you were drunk," J. Hickson Dale shook his head and held up a restraining band. "But the Crandall fellow arl dently was In a fight with you. and this morning Is suffering with a ' broken eardrum!" "Oh. poor Rusty!" murmured Rope, nearly upsetting her coffee. "That's only a minor Issue. you're to do the manly thing there, Dickey, whatever It Is. I don't know what your fight was about At any . rate, we'll foot his doctor's bills, . It It comes to that." the Crandalla letting anyone foot the doctor bills for Rusty! Imagine the supreme disgust, the outraged .Insult of listening to old Hlckey offering to pay tor a broken ear (rum Inflicted by his rowdy son. "The really Important matter Is til more serious," continued Hlckey. "You two bare got to go mil see Mr. hobs, ltignt now. Ho it home, waiting for you." "Will you come with us?" asked dupe L I in miy. "If you want me to. I think It would be hotter If you stood on around to fight your battles. Fie Ides, my Irish Is not always cal culable. I might break Into a rash and commit melodrama. After what I heard on the phone, I'm aure 1 would. "You two had bettor go alone and do the square thing. After that, come back to me. Because I'm for you. And I'll be right here to take ear of everything. Try to make peace. Don't lose your temper, son. Remember, you had no right to do what you did. No right in the world. Bo It's up to you to make amends, and take your medicine. Take your medicine, and don't flinch. Only remember one fhlnp By God, you're no gutter pup. and you can make as fine a husband tor Hope as the next one! Come back to me, and we'll show them. Eh. Mope?" Hlckey'a voice had risen to a pitch of choler that showed how truly his spirit had been shaken by the treatment I'apa Ross had evi dently seen fit to band him. ' Hope's heart sank. 8he undet tood swiftly and clearly. She had a swift vision of her father, with a grim, anjry, unreasoning stnre. . . Her fingertips grew cold. Even as she gathered Sassy up at Dick ey's command and prepared to leave. Even as she flung her arras, kitten and all, around Hlckey'a neck and kissed him on the ruddy old cheek, telling him she was proud to he Mrs. Dale. , , , The ride hack to the suburbs wis ticklish. Dickey's mind was not -n his driving. Roth were chatting valiantly. Uruently. Ag.wlng on everything. They mustn't he too quirk or Insolent with Pans toss, because Hope understands Mm. and Hope knew It was best to let him steam It h'.i off first and then talk! Agreed! Rut anyway they would stlrk together. , , , !f they expected an armed array lo meet them at the doorway of the Ross estate, Hope and Dickey were sadly disappointed. The huge colo nial house was frotenly silent and quiet Almost as It someone were dead or seriously 111 within. A breathless suspense seemed to hang over the May gardens. The roadster chugged np the gravel-way, and stopped with a hacking cough. Without a word Hope and Dickey climbed out, and mounted the steps hand In hand. Rang the doorbell. Hope ringing her own doorbell, fear and tears In her throat Standing, heart agog, before tbe same door where but nineteen hours ago she had hurried gaily by, dressed for dinner at the Country Club. . . . Not a sound from within. They rang again. And almost simultaneously the door opened! John Howard Ross himself opened the door. Tall, white, fiercely silent Opened the door ao quickly that both klda lost speech. Grasped Hope's arm and fairly yanked her Inside the old hallway. Slamming the door in Dickey'i face I Stick together, will they? With Dickey on one side of the huge iron doorway, and Hope on the other? "Dad! Daddtel" cried Hope fran tically, almost dropping ber kitten In her panic "Let Dickey" "Not a word out of you!" roared her father. "Go upstairs to your room!" "I won't! I won't! Dad, you've got to listen to me! Dickey " "Go upstairs instantly!" Hope caught her breath. She felt herself go weak. There was something close to Insanity In the fury of her father's eyes! Where was good old Papa Ross the big bluff who could alwaya be kissed Into reason? In bis place stood some mighty stranger some grim. towering creature who was the vice president of two banks and who was used to being obeyed! Her eyes closed. To blot out the vision of a father who looked as If he might kill! She turned, fright ened, and started up the stairs. Made straight .'01 her room, gasp ing with terror. Where was every body? Where were Mama and Goody? Why was the house so still and deathlike? In her room, she closed the door. Maybe Papa Ross considered this man-to-man stuff. Maybe after talk ing to Dickey, he would speak to her. Maybe he and Dickey would fight. . . . Oh, dear heaven, don't let them fight, because Dickey Is much the stronger and wouldn't re member his strength. . . . Wouldn't It be awful It Dad had a broken ear-drum too? Voices Jerked her out of her panic. Dropping Sassy to the floor, she hurrlod over to the window. Her room was at the back of the house for Its eastern exposure. She couldn't see then. Not a thing. But she could hear. She could hear men's voices. Voices of the two men she loved. I want my tols" she heard Dickey's yowl of anger. She tried to make out the answer. Papa Ross's voice was too strained, too harshly pitched to understand. Again Dickey's voice getting savage I For some Inexplicable reason, Hope found horself crying. Panting with grent, choking sobs, as she tell to her knees by ths window and called out t Dickey stretching out her arma to the hills of Westchester. Where there was no Dickey to see or hear; for Dickey was on the front steps, doubling his fists and bursting with the desire to awing swift and unarguable uppercnt Through her own aobs and calls she heard heard a strange and fearsome noise that made her heart stand still. Struggling to her feet, he flung open her door and stum bled down the staircase, almost trip ping at the landing so blind ah was with tears. And then In the hall she cams tare to face with her father. Her fnther. who was closing ths door behind him with an enormous and thudding slam! Where . . . T" she stuttered. and then suddenly went voiceless. The chug of a car answered het unfinished question. For a moment, Hope stared through her teara at the Immovable fare of her father. Her thoughts whirled around and around cratlly. Where was Dlrke.v going, and why had he left? Wn he nftor the police? Was he hurt' Why was I'apa Ross standing s stiffly, his arm limp at his side ...
