Chapter 11
, WHO HOLDS TRUMP6T
"fUMOhf" Kltty'a cry waa sharp,
an ideal matcn
weal I h and family. . , ." The
words shot across her memory,
Mrs. Frew bad said It of someon
Joan Travers and Jerry Mont.
"Carol, atop! Why why ahould
you want to hurt meT"
Carol shrugged her shoulders, "I
told you I had my own reasons.
And maybe when you're sunk your
self you like to see someone else
writhe."
"Well, I'm not wrlthlnr. Not
eren to please you am I going to
let you disturb me. I'm sorry
you're not happy. I enn't under
stand It. You have everything
most anyone could want"
Carol's answer was explosive.
"Everything! You've ' lived here
. two months and can't uet Why,
I'd leave this bouse In a minute It
I could just as David did. I will,
Bome day."
Over her own outraged emotions
Kitty felt a need of Carol's greater
tban her own and It held her, pity.
lng, for a moment. But she had
no way of reaching through Carol's
strange unfriendliness, and before
any word could be spoken Carol
went on, scornfully.
"I thought maybe I could open
your eyes but yon won't listen.
You can't see a game when It's
played right under your nose. Well,
that's that."
Kitty's control was close to break.
lng. She would not let Carol see It
break. She would not writhe for
Carol's satisfaction! But the had
to eatch the back of her chair and
hold tightly to It to steady herself,
"If you mean Oar and Marge
I'll trast Oar to play any game
falrl"
Carol had moved toward the door.
She turned with a little mocking
mile.
"But Marge Isn't holding the
trumps, you seel Or that'a what
you don't see!"
When the door closed behind
Carol, Kitty knew only a hot In
dignation In whlcb Carol's parting
taunt lost all significance.
"She wants me to be Jealous! She
jwanta Oar and me to quarrel. Well,
I won't. We won't." She'd been
forewarned. Indeed. She'd been
vary close to Jealously this evening.
She could thank Carol for saving
her.
Her moment's pity for Carol was
(one. Of course Carol wasn't hap
py; who could be happy who so
enjoyed the process of hurting
someone elsef
She and Oar mutt get away from
thla bouse, from Carol's spying,
watching for opportunities to say
uch things as she had aald tonight.
"I'll talk to Oar'a father tomor
row morning,"
Gar came In a little after ten.
Ehe met him almost gayly. Oh,
she'd been ever so busy,
"We closed that deal for the barn,
Kit" Oar threw off his coat and
lighted a cigarette. "It's going to
be a knock-out, the whole thing.
Marge boa an architect making
some drawings already. And Som
erset say, that boy'a a headache!
He'a had a past or I can't smell one.
But he knows his job. And yon
wait He'a going to make a head
liner out of Marge before ehe's
through with him." Oar . had
drawn Kitty down into his lap and
she cuddled her head against his
boulder happily. She was think
ing, not of Somerset and Marge
and the barn but that when they
had their own home It would be
Ilka this, they'd sit like this before
a fire and talk.
But her determination to talk to
Oar'a father atayed with hor. She
slipped oat of bed early the next
morning and dressed quietly so as
not to waken Oar. Slit watched
the clock and when Its hands point
ed to the exact hour of eight she
went downstairs, her heart beating
a little fast because this talk meant
10 much.
Mr. Frew was already at the
table, his newspaper spread before
him. Oh, why, Kitty thought as
she went In, hadn't she got down
before he'd started reading it But
his welcome seemed to bold only
real delight
"This Is nice, Kitty to have
your company. Perhaps It I bad
your pretty face across from me
every morning my digestion might
be better."
And Pound smiled, too, and be
gan devoting himself to her neede.
"Mr. Frew" And then the ab
surdity of that checked ber, to have
no more Intimate name by which
to catcb his attention! But he bad
not heard It
"Well, are yon happy with us
here, my dearf" Eventually ha
came to his usual question and Kit
ty pounced on It in relief.
"Ob, yes! But I've been think
ing I cam down this morning to
ask you Is that position in your
office atlll open to Oar?" Her voice
trembled In spite of ber.
Mr. Frew looked a little vague.
"What position, my dear? Of
course we might make room for
him somewhere. I've always played
with the Idea of bis coming Into
the office some time. But his mother
led me to believe he'd made other
plans."
Kitty caught the table edge with
tight fingers.
"He hasn't any other plans, that
Is none that will get us anywhere!
And ha ought to begin working.
We ought to be living In our own
home, Independently. If you'd
make him think yon needed blm,
maybe"
Her earnestness brought Mr.
Frew's full attention to her. There
was a little kindling of satisfaction
on bis face. "You're rlgbt, Kitty.
The boy ought to begin working.
Tell blm to come in at tour o'clock
this afternoon. We'll talk things
over there'll be soma place I can
put him into. I've just bought a
new business block be might take
over the renting of the offices."
"Oh, I know he could do It" Kit
ty cried and then laughed that she
should be extolling Oar'a ability to
bis own father.
Mr. Frew patted her band. "I
didn't think the girls nowadays
bothered their beads about practi
cal matters. So you want a borne
of your own" For a moment she
fancied a quality of .wJattulneBS In
his tene. "Well, make yours, Kitty,
and keep It a home. Don't let it
get to be a mere abell of a thing"
"Like thla house," she Snlshed
silently for him, on a flash of un
derstanding. But that understand
ing was lost at once In her Joj
that he'd promised to talk to Oar.
And If for even an Instant Dalton
Frew had felt any longing tor t
home that waa not a mere shell,
even a gorgeous abell, that appar
ently waa gone, too, In hla concern
at the lateness of the hour.
You're made me forget that
hare a very busy day ahead of me,
little Kitty," be lamented.
Oar did not waken until nearly
noon. By that time Kitty had com
pleted In ber fancy the home they
would have, to Its smallest cub
board. Tbey would buy their fur
niture carefully, a few pictures, pic
tures they hung because they meant
something to them. Books they
have books, everywhere, not just in
stiff rows.
Oh, no. their home should never
come to be a shell of a place; there
would be love In It laughter, non
sense, a need of one tor the other.
She'd have Oar'a father and
mother, even Carol, come for dinner
often. And David. David must
come to alt before their fire, to know
that their walls were walla that put
arms around you
When Oar wakened ehe met him
with shining eyes, a merry mood.
"Qar, I've a wondorful surprlsel"
But she would not tell blm, she
aald, until after he'd had hla break.
fast; she teased him, eluded him
when he tried to kiss her, shook
her head, laughing, when he made
absurd guesses as to ber surprise.
When she told him she put het
arms about bla neck. "Oar, your
father has a splendid position for
yon, right awayl It'a something to
do with a new building he'a bought.
Renting the offices He wants you
to go In at tour o'clock today to
talk about It!"
Oar pulled her hair. "Since when
have yon been getting chummy with
Dad? I haven't heard of any netf
building."
I ate breakfast with him thli
morning. It waa nice. I think h
liked It And we talked of things."
Ha, I'm jealousl What things!'
I told htm that we ought to have
a home of our own. Oar." Shi
waited, then a prayer heating with
every pound of her heart
