Yesterday: Kathleen decides

Chapter Four
Outline Of A Campaign
pHE foyer of the apartment
housing Miss Riley was not im
. osaive, but Kathleen exclaimed
ith pleasure when she stood on
e threshold of Bridget's suite.
"Like it?" Bridget, an exotic fig
re in scarlet lounging pajamas,
id opened the door. .
"It's like you," Kathleen en
tered. "Those cloudy blue walls
ive an illusion of space; that
.'hits furniture is so smartly sim
ple; and the touches of gay color
i e like your humor."
Bridget laughed. "Then I'm Sim
la and give an illusion of space,
.'ome in.
Kathleen glanced in to where a
able, for two, was spread before
i wide window. "You re expecting
omeone," she demurred.
"Expecting you," Bridget told
ler. "I know the Gregorys.
"Then you will listen .to my

can do if it's necessary. If it ts nec
essary I'll scrub floors: I'll do any
thing to make that damned Mac
Donald eat dirt"
Bridget studied her a few mo
ments and her eyes were a little
pitying, warmed with tenderness.
"I'll go," she decided. "It will be .
an interesting experiment in hu
man behavior. Perhaps I'm won
dering if your gold is real; won
dering if you'll still be The Golden
Girl when you've passed through
a real world."
"Haven't I been living in a real
world?" inquired Kathleen indig
nantly. "I'll ask you to answer that
yourself later. It's going to be
amusing to watch a feminine
Mounty after her man. Now come,
we've work to do. First on the list
of musts is obtaining power of at
torney, from your father. This is
imperative if you have to force the
right-of-way under Are. Next
your name and background. My
family lives in Chicago; we're le
gion. They'll adopt you as one o)
them and we can use their address
as a medium of correspondence
exchange with your father."
"Then let me take the name ol
Riley," suggested Kathleen, "and
for a first name . . . Cleopatra, Cleo
Riley."
Bridget laughingly agreed. 'Til
drop the Riley and be myself.
Bridget Donahue."
At three o'clock the next morn
ing, Dan drove Cleo Riley, nee
Kathleen went to a mirror. This was the face that
"smirked" at MacDonald.
"Curiosity has overcome discre
tion," admitted the young woman.
During dinner Kathleen out
lined her campaign.
"From what Dad said, I under
stand both mines center around
the town of Neutrality on the
soutnern Colorado-Utah line. I
want to go into that town as Just
anotner gin. i don t want to be as
sociated with the Uregoryt in any
way. I want a reason for staying
there for some time and I want a
companion. I thought we might
pose as artists."
"Do you paint?" Inquired Brid
get.
Kathleen laughed. "I've never
worked on anything but mv own
kin. Aunt Beatrice says a futuris
tic sunset would looh modest by
comparison."
"Small towns are curious."
warned Bridget. "To pose as paint
ers we'd have to splash color on
canvas with some supped ion of
motif. Personally, I couldn it paint
the broad side of a barn."
Kathleen sat a few moments In
deep study. "I know an author. He
does queer things and goes queer
places." '
"It wouldn't be logical for two
authors to be working on the same
story at the same time," objected
Bridget. "Of course it would give
us the right to track the man to his
lair, and the right to actually live
in Neutrality for any length of
time."
"Then we'll be one author," de
elded Kathleen. "You can handle a
typewriter and I can't, so you're
elected. I'll be a friend or cousin or
companion."
Bridget nodded. 'That might
work."
"Then you will go with me?"
A Real World'
TJRIDGET didn't answer at once.
J She sat looking out through
the cross-barred pane to white
walls studded with warm yellow
oblongs.
"Do you realize what this would
mean?" she asked. "Could you
play your part? Could you cook
ana clean, wear bargain rack
frocks, do without, not only lux
uries, but comforts? You know a
mountain mining town is not a
winter resort."
Kathleen stood up. walked to
the window and stood, heels
squarely planted, hands clasped
tightly behind her.
"I don't know," she told Bridget
when she turned. "I've never tried.
But I can do anything anyone else
Kathleen Gregory, to her home. Ii
her bedroom Kathleen disrobed.
Breaking The Shell
THE walls were murals of pale
gold, russet and green, against
a dull white background. The bed
was fit for a princess of childhood
fairy talcs, ruffled canopy, ruffled
flounce, and myriads of ruffled pil
lows. She slipped under the golden
puff of eiderdown.
"I feel like a chicken In a golden
egg," thought Kathleen.
For a moment she forgot Don
ald MacDonald. She was about tc
break through her shell. For the
first time in her life she was shed
ding the Gregory insulation.
"Every time I pick up a maaa
tlne I see her smirking at me
Kathleen slid out of bed and
went to a mirror. She touched i
switch and white lights blazed
down on her; blazed out on her.
The red-gold hair swung just
above her shoulders In a curlinj
roll. Its color was repeated in the
braided belt about the ivory satin
gown, and in the square neck.
Brown eyes were shaded by
lashes of brown with Conner tins,
and arched by brows so strongly
marked that tney set the charactei
of the whole face. This then wai
the face that "smirked" at MacDonald.
Back she went to her bed to sit
huddled in lacy pillows, and te
plan her wardrobe. Bridget said
she would have to "dress down."
But color was the all-important
princinle and that could be nur-
chasen from a bargain basement
as easily as from a snlnn.
There, In the heart of her golden
shell, she dreamed of her conquest,
visualized herself meeting ana
conquering this Donald MacDon
ald. The man was a hazy figure,
unimportant except as an audi
ence. He stood at attention as she
saw herself meeting him under
various circumstances, all romantic.
While Kathleen dreamed. Brid
get sat before her desk working
out the practical side of their ad
venture, long pages filled with
notes and figures. And when these
were completed she went to the
window nncl watched the dawn ap
pear behind tall buildings and of
fered a small, incoherent prayer.
" She's had everything from
toys to the hearts of men handed
her on a golden platter. Let her
light for this"

In an effort to unite Russia under
one common religion, Prince Vladi
mir, 10th-century ruler, undertook
a thorough study of the Mohamme
dan, Hebrew, Roman, and Greek
forma of worship.
Vladimir sent emlasarles to neigh
boring countries to study and report
on what they found. Thoee sent to
Constantinople attended tho rites of
the Greek church In St. Sophia, a re
markable structure built by Justin
ian, later destroyed and rebuilt.
So carried away were they bv the
beauty and magnificence of the
church and th Christian rites that
they reported to Vladimir: "We did
not know whether we were on Earth
or In Heaven."
Impressed, Vladimir Immediately
declared that the religion of tho
Greek Orthodox Church should be
adopted officially throughout all
Russia. It remained the Russian re
liglon until all churches were de
stroyed after the Revolution.
St. Sophia, the church that caused
this momentous change, was the work
of more than 10.000 workmen who
were employed seven years in eroct
Ing It. The building formed a square
whoso Interior represented a Greek
cross. A series of domes rose from
the center.
The interior was decorated with
the finest mosaics and marbles; the
altar Itself consisted of molten gold
into which had been thrown pearls,
sapphires, diamonds, and other pre
cious gems. It weighed 320,000
pounds and cost $66,000,000.
When, In 1453, the Turks took pos
session of Constantinople, they trans
formed St. Sophia Into & mosque,
destroying or concealing the Chris
tian fittings.
Tomorrow: General Stuart's march.
