Chapter I
CLIVE THINKS BACK
CL1VE re-wrote bis past In term
of glamor as be tore through
Tillage after Tillage. Erie Dawn,
Santa's father, had been engaged
to Cllre's mother. She had
changed her mind by the ruthless
expedient of elopement. The bold
Locblnvar, Cllve's father, bad died
within a year of the marriage.
FlTe ream later Cllve's mother
bad died, appointing Erie Dawn as
ber son's guardian.
If a compliment bad been In
tended, It badn't been relished.
Erie Dawn bad patched his heart
fcy taking to wife Judy Summers,
who bad brought with ber a pri
tate fortune derived from Sum
mers' Wall Papers. Had Judy been
calculating In the bestowing of
herself, she could bare made a bet
ter match.
to become a dog-Fldo himself.
Judy Dawn bad discovered that
since Cllre was at Princeton, be
also might prove serviceable.
She had also discovered that be
was handsome as the bold Lochln
var, bis carelessly deceased father
which dismissed any doubts she
may have harbored with regard to
bis paternity. She hsd appointed
him Santa's unpaid male-governess.
That a cosmopolitan girl
child, over-sophisticated and broth-
erless, required an escort goes
without saying.
Cllve's memories warmed now
that they were approaching the
present. His- earliest recollections
were of a stately little foreigner
dressed In a black velvet frock wltb
white lace cuffs and collar. Boys
used to say that butter wouldn't
melt In ber mouth. No one had
suspected that this pattern of all
the elegancies was nothing more
nor less tban high explosive. Cllve
bad discovered the secret when be
had kissed ber and she bad mur
mured, "O, lovely!" From that
night his madness had dated.
He considered her poses, the de
ception that gained most applause
and established her reputation for
dignity being ber pose tor the
soul's awakening. She reserved
this for dances and pnblle funo-
Tbe Cfleanere' class of the Baptist
church reserved a section of seats
last night in the third of a series
of revival meetings at the First Bap
tist church. The clssa received spec
ial recognition several times through-
Judy Dawn thought Cllve, at Princeton, might be useful.
Old Mr, Summers had been
equally generous, for be bad taken
bis son-in-law Into bis business.
Sspta bad been born to the happy
couple. To all appearances they
were sitting on top of the world,
when flve-yearold CMre's Intrusion
had kindled the fuse of Jsf.lousy.
Judy Dawn had regarded tbe
dead vamp's choice of guardian as
sentimental blackmail. The admin
istering of Cllve's estate and
there was precious little to admin
ister would keep ber rival's mem
ory perpetually active. She had
argued passionately against ac
ceptance of the responsibility, fin
ishing with the accusation that It
ber husband did accept, he would
broadcast that she herself was no
pore than an after-thought
Dawn's attitude was understand
able. He hadn't sought the duty
In, posed; but he couldn't punish
the orphan by refusal.
I To emphasise her pique, Judy
bad oarrled oft berselt and ber In-,
faut daughter to Europe, Dawn
had hoped that the tiff would blow
over. If she hadn't been financial
ly Independent ot him, he could
jhava dragged ber to her senses by
cutting oft supplies. But the very
house In which he lived had been
her father's wedding-present. Hie
position was rendered doubly deli
cate by tbe fact tbat bis tather-ln-paw
was his employer.
I Before Santa was six she could
babble In French, Italian and Span
ish. When her father had met her,
they had bad no common lan
guage. She could pick up Ameri
can later, her mother bad said.
I When Cllve bad been seventeen
and on the point ot entering
Princeton, as arbitrarily as she
had flown the domeVIo coop, Judy
had reclaimed Its shelter. Her
motives were as usual magnani
mous. Santa was thirteen. If she
Wer eventually to marry and set
tle In America, it was high time
she became an acclimatised Amer
ican. Again Erlo Dawn had performed
the dog-Fldo trick and acquiesced.
It was his beloved guardian's lack
ef dignity in playing dog-Fldo that
had so determined Cllve, even
though he forewent Santa, novor
Mons which older people attended.
It consisted In a starry-eyed stare
of expectancy, the hands still, the
lips slightly parted.
Had the average girl attemptod
It she would have been recora
mvnded to have ber adenoids re
moved. But Santa could make
even an unperformed surgical
operation attractive. This soul's
awakening was her masterpiece.
It lured courtship without commit
ting ber.
"Kiss ma again. Don't peck.
Harder. As It you meant It" Cllve
smiled at tbe memory.
Meant wbatT "What Is fun to
you la death to me," said the frog
to the boys wbo stoned blm.
At first because she had been
sixteen, whereas he had been
twenty, Cllre had reproached him
self with having rousod her. Little
by little the suspicion had dawned
that she was too expert to be en
tirely a novlro. Wltb how many
predecessors had the Indulged
these troplo moments T
"They weren't all cripples In
Europe," she had mocked him.
"But the first time you allowed
a boy to kiss you bow old were
you?"
"Twelve. It happened on ship
board In the Bay ot Naples. Night.
Stars twinkling. Guitars strum
ming. Vesuvius erupting. He wore
a silky moustache that tickled. I
mean my boy-friend did not v
euvlus."
"Then your hoy-friend was
grown up. And yon were only
twelve you say?"
"Have It your own way, darling.
Blame It on Vosuvlus."
She was now eighteen) tbe
petals of ber mischievous beauty
wore not yet fully opened. Hot
socond season course of study
she would have called it would
soon be commencing. Her tele
gram must mean that the last ot
ber wild oats had been sown.
He Imagined that he was hurry
ing to her rescue. Had he been
older be would have known tbat to
attempt to reform a member of
tbe perfect sex Is the surest wsy
to loss her.
