Kathleen Oreiorr: rd-halnd daughter 0 Anpui Gregory who ount The Golden Girl mine. Brldret: Greeorv't lecretary. Teiterdsy: After rending a 1I1 iling letter from young Donald MacDonald, owntr of Tht Stub born Boy, Kathleen agree to go Wett and get the rlght-o-uay for the Gregory mine. Chapter Three Gold Incarnated HAVING exhausted hl patience and the battery on the bell connecting hi desk with that of his secretary, Angus Gregory strode into the room. "Miss Riley . . . Miss Bridget Riley, do you realize that I have been ringing you steadily for the last five minutes? For the final and . the last time, are you my private secretary or are you not?" Bridget snapped a rubber band on the last sheaf of papers. "I have not been your private secretary for two hours and twenty minutes.You allowed me three hours to pack up and get out. I'm cutting the time to two hours and a half!" Swiftly she went to the closet to get her hat and coat Kathleen watched her father. Behind perfectly tailored coattails, his hands were clasped in the Gregory pose of Intense feeling. They gripped each other for con trol. The war between diplomacy and stubbornness was visible in the agitated working of his heavy brows. "I'll hold up your check," he threatened. Bridget fitted a mitre hat over her braids and smiled at the mir ror. "I thought of that," she re torted. "I had the office boy cash it immediately upon your sending it to me." "But Miss Riley, Bridget, damn H all, girl, you can't leave me. Why I don't know how I'll . . . well you can stay until you break someone in, can't you?" . "Dad, why didn't you think of that when you ordered her out?" Angus cast a despairing glance at his daughter. "My dear child, I could not allow anyone to speak to a Gregory as Bridget Riley spoke to your Aunt Beatrice. I know Bee is exasperating but she is a Gregory" ; Mutiny A GREGORY!" Bridget had wheeled from the mirror. "You think your clan is the sun about which everyone else has to revolve -or fall into apace. You Gregorys haven't vision enough to look beyond your own orbit. You don't know there's anyone else in the heavens or on the earth. You think you and your gold ore the heavens and earth. You think that you are the gold incarnated. Well you're not. You're nothing but a big, gilt painted balloon and some day somebody is going to stick a nin in vou." She smiled at him then, and her voice lowered to a demure tone, concluded, "It's been to nice, knowing you." She was gone. Kathleen looked at the door though which she seemed to have evaporated, then she looked at her father. "Dad," she warned, "remember the Gregory blood pressure." She darted in pursuit An express elevator had rushed Bridget to the street and when Kathleen reached there, she was departing in a cab. A low swung f olden-red car slid to the curb in Is wake. Kathleen jumped to the running board. "Dan," she pleaded, "can you catch that cab?"1 "If ye'll write to me mlther and tell her I died in service," he sighed. The cab had been swallowed by the traffic. "I didn't know you'd ever had a mother," murmured Kathleen. Dan swung the hood of the car around, mumbling. "What did you ssy?" Kathleen demanded. "I said," blurted the chauffeur, belligerently, "and how in the divil did ye expect me to be here. All right, I'm fired." The hurrying throng paused as Kathleen's laugh rang out. "No luch luck Danny. Get in, I'm riding with you." "You can't do that" "Oh. can't I." countered Kath leen and swung into the landau front seat. "Now take me to a tele ' phone and en route, explain this mutiny. What's the matter with the .(.iregorys, don l they treat you ight. cay you well?" Dan, intent upon putting the .olden car through the massed raffle, shrugged in resignation. You're asking for It" he fore warned. "You pay us right, but there's niver a thought you give to us as numans. I.Ike The Sun SERIOUSLY Dan, what do you think of me?" Kathleen asked ibruplly. "1 don't. I work for you." "Suppose you met me at a dance ind didn't know I was a Gregory; that I was Just some new girl, Teacher Succumbs Conducting Class MERCED. Calif., Oct. 36. AP) loren F.

Bowmm- what would you as a man, think of me? Please tell me, I need your help." Dan sighed deeply. "Sure you can get this car back through traf fic? If it's the truth I'm to be tellin' you, one of the other of us will walk." "Is it that bad?" Dan groaned and for the first time a car he was driving rubbed fenders wjth a plebeian. "Faith, Miss Gregory, it's like the sun you are, fair blinding a man with your beauty. That is 'til he caught a whiff of your temper." Ad then?" 3kp(j itatnen, eagerly. "Catch that cab!" "Then he'd feel the red blood of him boilin' to tame you. His fin gers would twitch with wantin' to get hold of you and shake the sense into you. You'd be a chal lenge to a man, Miss Gregory. I know, I met one like you." Kathleen chuckled. "Have you' tamed her?" "To be married we are, my first vacation." They stopped at a hotel and Kathleen telephoned her mother's secretary. "Break my engagements for this evening and begin to think up a cruise that will last a couple of months. I'll explain when I come in." From her father's office she ob tained Bridget's home address and back in the car, sat silent. She must have her plans perfected when she caught up with Miss Riley, and when she again met her father the entire campaign must be ready for his consideration. This was much more exciting than planning a benefit; directing amateur theatricals, or trying to curb an executive tongue at a board meeting where fussy old women talked endlessly, then left the actual work to a lone paid secretary. This was the adventure with a purpose and inspired by a motive. A "vapid flapper" was she? Russet gloves strained at the seams as her hands clenched. The man was an impossible boor with a rotten temper. He was probably throwing up a defense mechanism to protect his ego from the knowl edge that all girls disliked him on sight. It was going to be a lark to bring him to his knees. She'd never yet met a man she couldn't win if she wanted to. Conquests were a mat ter of propinquity. She'd take care of the propinquity. But she would need Bridget. No one else could possibly take her place. Once she had given her word. Bridget could be trusted implicitly. Monday! Brldiet eonsrnta.
