Newspaper Page TextPAGE TOT FIT Golden Rain r'i: SY.10FHIS: Most unexpeetedly. stursiun black hat become very ' much interested in tn-year-old trie t.onnlug, with her precise speech and her old-fashioned clothes when he finally leaves her he dote not know that the ie the niece of the Ella Vanning who will, he hopes, t.ike him lor a boarder to buttress the lading banning fortunes, trie bewails her position ae the daugh ter o poverty-stricken aristoeracv: all she can do is to make partite go with her "parlor trick." Chapter Tbr SURPRISE DLIT Iris's "parlor trlck" were u better than sbe knew. Miss Ella bad unwearledly passed on to her niece everything that In her own more accomplished and literate ije money could buy or art suggest for the brilliant young Ella Lannlnf, rho had Intended to be singer. Iris's unmodern education com prised fluent French ond Italian, the ihlllly to play well the yellow-keyed sld family piano, and a singing voice opoj which Miss Ella had lavished ill she knew of her own "role cul ture" of a good though old-fashioned IC'JOUl, "You'll need accomplishments, dress with," rls thought as she swung along Is the dusk with her armsful of "golden rain," She began to daydream again: per haps somebody would be at Kay's when she sang her old-fashioned songs that people laughed over so; perhaps she'd get a paying engage ment at some bouse In Philadelphia. Perbepe It would end wltb her doing It regularly, earning money enough to buy herself and ber uncle all the things sbe wanted. ... 3be began to sing as she came up the neglected old drive, under the old-fasbloned portico. Sbe had lin gered so long that a bait bour had passed; It was quite dark. She was singing one of the songs sbe would do at Kay's. It was a song of an older day, a funny old thing of the seventies that bad been a show piece of her grandmother's: "Jmt as sure ae It la halt past eight 8omoneTi tapping at the gardes gate ..." It was her signal to Uncle Wll Ham. Sbe knocked on the big front door. Let me In, let me In, Cncle Wll Ham! I haven't any free bands." HER uncle's slow foot and tapping crutch trod down the unseat ball ant' a gaslight wakened. Sbe ran tbrough the opened door, laughed. kissed him above ber bright-colored load. - 'Oh, I'm late," sbe said, "but you can't think how heavy young treet are! And I met a young man oh!" She stopped. She colored all ovei "And I met a young man ohl" larllng. Gentlemen Ilk them," she tad ssld Invariably over all the yeara iris could recall. As Invariably her lather had added gayly but Insistent ly. "Iris Isn't to marry. I want her ill to myself." Nona of It bad seemed very Imme diate to Iris. Rer young vitality and atrength made living a pleasure In Itself, si long as nothing Immedi ately annoying came along, like a party she couldn't have good clothes for, to make the dark side of the pic ture more real than the bright one: the garden, the loving old aunt and unole. the library books, the piano to play and sing at, and all the vague belief In a lovely and fortunate fu ture, with tbe right lover, gentle, gracious, magnificent to everyone but her; the lover partly out of books a little out of movies, but more from old stories of ber grand mother's glories and adorers. There were town boys and there were moments when ber father and aunt bad relaxed guard, and she bad been undo love to In brief awkward phrases; there were boys who by old Uncle William's connivance stole off with her now and again to movies, to a ball game In Philadelphia. But they were not the Prince. IT WAS more curious than they kuew Aunt Ella Insisted on "con tact with society," "ease of man ner." There wore Invariable teas and suppers to which sbe went with ber aunt; Mrs. Cadwallader'a ancient house. Mist Deborah Wayne's, Mrs. loslnh Worrell's. It nover etruck Aunt Ella that these might not iniuso Iris as much as they did her self. It occurred to only one person -Uncle William. He it was who plunned Iris's small scapes, who. In splto of Ella's Arm sold oo all money for ths use of Law renre. Iris's father, squeexed tiny turns out now and again to buy Iris I Icngli of silk for a dress, or a pair f rayon stockings. He hadn't beeu able to do much of :ate. MIrs Ella was more stringent :han over; she was talking about a aeir.orial tor her dead brother. "Oh. well, mnyhe I can find some thing In one of (he trunks of old slothes In the garret lo let down this her, so that It telt like a Ore. There towering easily behind her uncle's stooped black should ti. stood the man to whom; supposing she would never see him again, sbe had told more of her affairs than she ever bad told anyone In her life before. "Thlr," said Uncle William's mild slightly-apprehensive voice, "la Mr. Black. He Is going to board wltb us. darling. This Is my niece, Iris, Mr. Black." "I've met Mr. Black," said Iris In a choked furious voice. "I Oh, yon hadn't any right tot" The bright load of blossoms crashed at the feet of the two ae tonlahef men: Iris was gone, flying up the steep old stairs. "Deal me," said mild shabby courteous Cncle William. "I must apologise for my niece's excitement It Isn't at all like her." "I think It la!" said Morgan Black Internally. Aloud he replied politely, "I auppose she was startled at see ing a stranger." "Sie Is a very brilliant girl, and It Is possible she Is becoming a trifle temperamental," said her uncle, as It thla idea were sew. "She haa nev er behaved like that before." Morgan Black smiled Instead ol replying: which pleased Uncle Wil liam. Since Aunt Ella had decreed the taking of a boarder, this sllenl young man was better than most. Iris, meanwhile, had taken cover In her bedroom. It was large, like all the rooms. It had an old-fashioned brass bed, hideous but comfortable, with a mended whit honeycomb counterpane. A handsome overelaborate ma hogany bureau of the lata aeven Ilea, with tbe rocker and marble topped table which belonged to it and a dejected golden-oak morrli chair which didn't, stood out sgalnst all Iris's Inexpensive efforts toward modernity. Sometimes she was proud of wbst she had done with the nnpromla Ing place; sometimes, as now, she bated it. (Cetrrll. "!. HftstH HMtmsr) Tomorrow, Moroan and Iris have their first meal together.
