OCTOBER 10, 1935. gjJMORNING STAR L -- ar Marian Sims .-. ftYUVfalnt amuy arnil aj decided to divorce her unbending. stiSiy conventional husband Edwin. Unexpectedly, Xdwin reverse hie earlier couree, admit Emily in ripht to do what eh' propoeee. and afters to help ae best he can. Rul Emily wants to get away from her hometown, and aiTannee that after she hoe "faced the musio" for a week, she shall no to visit enh lepe friend at Morton Halt, her Emulation farther eouth in Ala-affld. Chapter St HOME TOWN TALK EVEN Elston. liter twenty-flvs yean, had Its capacity tor aur prises. Dorothy Shane relayed the Tcrdict, the Inevitable twinkle lurk ing In her black eyes. "Believe It or not, you've become heroine over night" Emily, who wai packing for the risk to Judith, ihook her head so berly. "Heaven forbid." "Rut you hare," Dorothy Insisted. "Now that It has happened 1 can come clean and tell you that every body In town wondered how you tood It as long as you did." She faced Dorothy almost defiant ly. "I can't bear for people to feel that way about blm! He's been de center about It al. than anybody on earth could have been. And be's got ten times as many good traits as - I'll ever have. If that's the way they're going to feel I'll never get over It: I'd much rather they'd put ' the blame where It belongs on me!" Dorothy sobered quickly. "I think they probably understand that everybody knows that Edwin's char acter Is above reproach. But they know, too, that he needs a nice little doormat like Lucy Barnes for bis wife." "That's perfectly true," Emily confessed. "If it weren't, and f'dldu't Imow that I'd actually be hurting him, I'd be tempted to go back to him." Dorothy almost snorted. "Rot! If you dissolve Into sentimentality when you've gotten this far I'll never come near you again! Edwin Is much surer of coming out unscathed than you: nobody can pierce that armor of complacency for long." That was true. Perhaps he bad al ready regretted his generosity of the past week; had already clothed him self In the mantle of martyrdom. She snapped the lock on her trunk and turned her attention to a dress ing case. "Anyhow, I hope you'll let It be known that I don't appreciate being a heroine. My head Is covered wlln ashes and I don't care who knows It." Dorothy looked keenly at her. "Ave you regrottlng this thlngT' She shook her head decidedly. "Heavens, not I feel as It I'd just "mined a sentence In Jail. But 1 hate buying freedom at such a price." Dorothy lit a clgaret. "Vou have to pay a big price for anything you want very badly. Now that you've paid It, for God's sake remember Lot's wife and an!! looking back. What's the little poem: 'Look up, and not down; look forward, and not back'" She grinned Impishly. Emily threw a cushion at her, which went wild and knocked off a lampshade. - "Darn yon!" She held up an era sing dress of Ice-green taffeta. "I wasn't taking this, but I don't know. What do you think?" The grin persisted. "Of course I'd take it. You may 'not need It, but It's woll to be prepared for any ventuality. 'Look forward and not' " Emily laughed helpelssly and machel for another pillow. Dorothy tung up a shielding arm. "I think I'd bettei go home." I "Please don't," she begged. "With all your faults, I love you." ' TMrE train connection to Blrmlng a ham was vory poor, Jeffrey pointed out, and he had planned a business trip there in the Immediate future: there was no reason why he couldn't go Wednesday as well as any other day, and William could drive them both down. Frances looked both roslgned and skeptical, and Emily beamed upon him. "I'd love It for your company more than for the convenience." 8he turned quickly to Trances, lest Frances feel slighted. "Isn't there some shopping you ought to do. Mother?" Frances shook her head. The drive, she felt, was a little too rem iniscent of a funeral procession: she preferred not to witness this arm bollo breaking with everything she had alwaya held sacred and Irrevoc able. "I think not, my dear, t have a Board meeting Wednesday and I'll have to be here for thai." And so Emily and Jeffrey went ai During the drive tried very hard to be gay and casual. He went with her to the train and at the gate they clung to each other for a long time, wordlessly. Then be smiled. "Have a good time, Mick. Have a good time, and raise bell!" She laughed unsteadily. "It, If you could only raise a little hell your self!" Ha shook his head ruefully. "I'm too old for It now." ORTON HALL was less than forty miles from Carrollton, but In the opposite direction from Montgomery. Emily was glad of that; the sight of the railway sta tion alone quickened her heart, and she hated to think what close prox imity to Carrollton Itself would have done. There was a car waiting, as there had been so long ago, and she gave herself uo during the drive to remembering. it was queer the fascination of this Black Belt. Cities and towns were more or less alike the world over, but lite In this country was static: you had a sense of having atepped back into the pages of his tory. Negroes everywhere (seven negroes to the white, hadn't David said?). Squalid, dusty little towns (David had told her Innumerable amusing Incidents about these little towns). Sandy by-roads, along which shuf fling oxen dragged home-made carts. Acres and acres of cotton flelda: occasional enormous plantations some well kept, others in the lasl stages of docay. She wondered about the fate of Carrollton since the passing of the old regime: some Northern capital ist, Judith said, had bought It for a "lodge." Probably his wife consid ered It "quaint" And then, Just at sunset, the car turned Into a long winding drive' way, at the end of which stood Mor ton Hall. Judith burst through the open doorway and charged down the steps. They clung togther tor a moment without speaking, then Judith overflowed. That I should live to see this day! (Gus. those bags belong In the aouth guest room.) I couldn't get to the station and I've boon holding my breath tor halt an hour." She held Emily off and surveyed her critical ly. "You haven't broken much." Emily laughed and wiped her eyes. "Neither have you. And I don't believe you've got a child: I thought people always got fat and matronly looking." Judith was as radiant ai ever and as slim as a sword. ; "Not always: thank heaven!" Ju dith laughed and led tho way Into the house. - Morton Hall, Emily realized, was aa One a house of Its type as Car rollton. A wide stairway, with all the sweep and grace of a perfect sen tence; richly carved mantels; a din ing-room appropriately paneled In hunting scenes: that much she saw in a glance. Then her eye foil upon Davoy, grinning amiably at hor from a coop on the living-room floor. She went-atrnlgbt to him. laugh ing aa she went. Davoy had evi dently Just dined, because his face waa almost entirely covered with a lurk) coating of Jam. In one hand he hold a toy dog, and In the other an as yet unopened package of clg-arms.1 Don't got noar him," Judith ad vised, "until he's been fumigated. Of course it's my cue to run and wipe his nose (why do mothers al waya wipe their children's noses when anybody notices them?) and' say: '1 hate fof you to see him look ing like this!' Only I can't say It, because he always looks like' this by the time you get him dressed."' Davey smiled broadly and bit off corner of the clgarot package. Emily saw with a lightening of her throat that he had the Imnlsh. vivid blue eyes of the other David. She picked him np eagerly and thrilled to the feeling of his heavy, Tlhrant Utile body. don't car what he looks like. he's a lamb. Won't this clgaret paper disagree with him?" leavens, no: ho'e omnivorous. He's In that charming contraption now because I caught him yosterdny eating all the rhoese off the rat traps and I didn't dnre leave him on the loose again. When things get dull or his dinner's late he picks out pieces of his rubber pants and eats e,m. Pavey eyed Emily critically and then offered her the package of rltrnrets. She look It gravely. ' Thank you." (Copsiriaht. IMS, by Marian Sims) Judith makti big puni, temor-row. BUILDING SPUR! PEPS PORTLAND PORTLAND. Or.
