Chapter 12
Can This Be Love?'
"yOlFLL admit the MacDonalda
have done a better Job than
the Gregorys when you see our
holdings," said Donald "You've
had a chance to look over the
Gregory shacks
"I thought them most pictur
esque," Interposed Kathleen, lnno
cently.
"Picturesque.'" exploded Mac-
Donald. "They're plenty pictur
esque in a rain storm with miners'
wives using every kettle they dm-
ses under the leaks; or in a snow
storm when the root caves in on
some poor devil down with pneu
monia from living in a damp
house. Those places haven't been
repaired since they were huilt,
sixty years age."
Kathleen had one dimple other
men had found ravishing. It was
very much in evidence as she
smiled up at MacDonald. "I no
ticed how new your cottages
looked," she murmured sweetly.
"You mean " For a moment it
looked as though the man who had
so recently replaced cots like those
of the Gregorys, with modern
structures, would burst Then he
laughed.
"Will you tell me why you pull
something like that just as I begin
to like you?"
Kathleen's brows were brown
. scimitars of ennui as she answered.
"It's just possible that I don't give
a continental aarn wnctner you
do, or don't, like me."
And then she gasped. MacDon
ld's arms had shot out to grip her
snouiaers. ruriously sue 'ought
until the turban slid down over
one eye.
"Get this," he stormed and shook
her in rhvthm to his words.
"You're going to like me before
you leave here. You're going to
ime me ana nice llKing mel Under
stand?" Released, Kathleen grabbed for
the turban with one hand, the
other swinging in an arc that end
ed flat against MacDonald's face.
"Like this I" she exclaimed.
"Can this be love?" caroled
Bridget from the doorway.
MacDonald, hand to his cheek,
turned, then hurried to help
Bridget with the tray she carried.
"Miss Donahue," he begged, "have
you ever known anyone as consis
tently cussed as this friend of
yours?"
Bridget giggled. "No, but I'm
f letting acquainted with him, rap
diy." she confessed. .
Kathleen remained silent She
feared if she opened her lips for
more than the rim of the coffee
cup, she would say what she
thought, and that would be fatal to
her plan of vengeance.
All consideration for the clan
had left her. The only reason she
would bargain for right-of-way
was to bring this man to time. This
desire burned so deeply it warmed
her cheeks, her lips and eyes and
eventually melted thi wrath
which had congealed her power of
speech.
Bridget, watching her, was
amazed. Never had Kathleen been
as delightful, scintillating, gay and
altogether adorable. She felt a lit
tle sorry for MacDonald who ac
cepted this play of charm as the
triumph due him. This handsome,
fine young Scot was riding for a
fall
A Letter
"I'LL have to hand you the lau-
rels," she told Kathleen when
Young Donald had left. "But I
didn't enjoy it. It was like watch
ing an innocent lamb led to the
slaughter."
Kathleen started pounding on
the huge oak table. ''Some day,"
she fumed, "I'm going to pound on
him just like this."
It took the girls the entire week
to settle. Kit-Smyth sent Joey up
every day and under the Ute boy's
carefully enunciated directions
and the surprising strength in his
slender arms, the big houso took
on a semblance of comfort.
The living room which contrarl
ly opened onto the cabin kitchen
because, explained Joey, "Old An
gus desire to perceive with the ear
what goes on in the MacDonald
house, was made the focal point
But It was to their respective
bedrooms the girls gravitated for
actual living.
Bridget Indulged in a bolt of
scarlet cheesecloth and a few
yards of scarlet oilcloth. Out of
this she evolved drapes, mantel
and stand covers, and spread; add
ed cushions of blue and yellow and
fireen; stacked books in gay bind
ngs, then called Kathleen in to
view the result.
"It's a happy looking room." ex
claimed the Gregory girL "Even
the typewriter, pulled up before
the window there, looks ready for
action."
Bridget smiled. I've talked
about writing so much, I'm going
to have to carry on the pretense.
Expect to find me at the table be
fore the window every morning,
tapping the keys."
Kathleen departed Immediately
for the Gregory general store, in
tending to buy drapes, cushions
and other accessories, suitable for
a Gregory boudoir. The limited
stock defeated her and she re
turned staggering under bundles
filled with materials she would
never have deigned to notice a
month ago.
Nor would she let Bridget do
more than advise, and help her
solve the deep mystery of the an
cient sewing machine
Hour after hour she labored,
converting the figured yellow
calico into casement curtains; the
kapok into cushions covered with
slips of rust green and dusky rose.
Saturday morning she called
Bridget in to view the result
"There," she pointed to the
heavy library table which had
been carried before the windows
with their astonishing view of
painted cliffs, "you may expect to
find me sitting every morning,
twiddling my thumbs. I can't even
write letters. My only talent is
temper."
She did write one letter that
day. It was to her father in answer
to one relayed through Bridget's
uncle, and it was brief.
Yes, uie are settled. Yet, have met
MacDonald. Yet, he it insufferable.
Ves, am making some headway.
No, I am not proud of our holdings.
I am f lad no one knows I am a Greg'

Yes, I am feeling fine.
And Dad, when you see Aunt Bee

resiet upon his white hair.
. 'Tell Me'
SHE was unaware of the sun rest
ing on her hair also. Fore
warned that the mine women
didn't wear hats to church, she
had gone as one of them and did
not notice their admiring glances.
Accustomed to deference, she
saw nothing unusual in the atti
tude of the congregation as the
members gathered around her at
the conclusion of the service. She
only knew she felt a spontaneous
liking for the people; somber peo
ple with a hint of sadness behind
their quiet eyes.
They walked homeward with
Old Balmy, nodding to MacDonald
who was walking nome with his
housekeeper, a portly woman.
Kathleen conceded to Bridget
that he did look nice In tailored
blues. She attributed her feeling
of intense excitement at the sight
of him to a desire to quarrel.
"I'm sorry vou won't have tea
with us," he told them as they
reached home, each traversing
their respective sides of the road.
"However. I'd foreeo the Dleasure
just to have you spend the time
with Balmv. I couldn t Drescribe
anything better for your disposi-
."Terribly unfortunate he's a
Gregory so you can't leaven your
own disposition, Mr. MacDonald,"
she retorted.
At five minutes of four the two
iris walked up the path to
lalmy's cot the old shepherd doe
ambling beside them.
Balmy led them through to a
stone terrace at the rear. Protected
from the north and cast by the
walls of the cottaee. and shaded
by a gnarled old apple tree, now
a cloud of russet leaves, it pro
vided a cozy retreat.
Here a rustic table had been
spread with a white cloth and set
for three. Tiny blue-banded crocks
filled with butter and wild black
berry jam, flanked the thick yel
low cups and saucers.
1 he talk was general until Kath
leen asked impulsively. "Who is
the lovely lady in the large photo
graph at the Gregory house? His
wile? tell us about her.
Tell vou . . . vou mean vou
don't " Balmy seemed startled
out of his usual poise. "Of course,"
he murmured. I luriiet I am an
old man and few here knew her.
She was the second Mrs. Mac

MacGregorr echoed Kathleen
and Bridget in unison.
