DON'T MARRY THE MAN -By Jttnn Bowmen- Miaruvlcrs Kathleen Qretoryt youngest member ot the Gregory family poee West incognito to vamp a right-of-way from MacDonald for the than of The Golden Girl mine. Donald MacDonald: young own er of The Stubborn Boy mine hates the Gregoryt as much as they hate him. Bridget: Kathleen' companion. Yesterday: Kathleen writes her father she intends to finish the fob without his interference. Don aid's mother arrivee. Chapter 19 Angus And Beatrice F)ONALD'S cousin, Norman Mac Donald, had accompanied his aunt. He was a year or so older than Donald; with his looks and without his arbitrary manner, he fascinated both girls. But he con centrated on Bridget. In fact 'both young men did, leaving Kathleen with Mrs. Mac Donald, a slightly bewildered Kathleen, unaccustomed to being ignorea in so pointed a fashion. "I can't blame them," she thought "She is lovely and as dear as she is lovely, only" The wist ful look in her dark eyes won the woman wno was watching her. This wasn't the hot headed young spit-fire her son had forewarned . her to expect. That is what she thought then, she changed her mind soon alter dinner was over. Donald, going to the rear of the house for more logs, came in frowning. "Kit-Smyth's commg up the drive. Our drive if you please. Now what is he up to? Kathleen and Bridget exchanged glances of alarm which were promptly misinterpreted by the MacDonalds. "You don't have to worry this time," Young Donald-advised. "I'm going to handle that baby as he should be " "Son," interposed his mother as he strode towards the door, "this is Thanksgiving and this is my home. . I'll meet him." At her bidding Kit-Smyth en tered, a perturbed Kit-Smyth who twisted his hat in his hands. He wanted to see the young ladies. He wanted to talk to them alone. Well, ill right then, he'd talk right here. "Listen," he began, "you and your patients have got to get out of that house right now. I'll fix you up at the hotel free of charge, but get out quick. The Gregorys are in town and they intend moving in. pronto." "What Gregorys?" interposed Donald unbelievingly. "Young Angus and his . . . well I guess it s his sister; name's Greg ory." Kathleen swallowed. Her throat had become very dry. "Why can't they stay at the hotel?" she asked. The sound emitted bv Kit-Smvth resembled an explosion. "You should hear himl" he cried. "You should hear what he says about the place! Bridget's laugh rang out. "He owns it, doesn't nc7 Uheer up, Mr. Kit-Smyth, we'll move. And we'll have to send our patients to Car ited. Lucky they're all recuperat ing. You're in rather a tight spot aren't you?" Kit-Smyth ran a finger around his collar.' "Sure nice of you. I'll make up for the inconvenience, somehow. If you'll come over now and toss your things out the rear way, I'll have Joey-wide-eyes pick them up and carry them to the hotel." "But that is foolish," Interposed Mrs. MacDonald. "Norman, you and Donald can stay at our hotel and the girls can come in here with me. They'll be much more comfort, able." Infernal Bole' IT was thus arranged and Kath 1 teen, Bridget and Mrs. Mac Donald went over to pack and move. They would carry things to the rear veranda and the boys would move them over to the Mac Donald side. For the next hour the Gregory house hummed with activity. Kit Smyth would call for the visiting Gregorys the moment the house was clear. He had told them he was having it cleaned, aired and warmed. The girls were making their last trip downstairs when footsteps sounded on the front veranda. The door was swung wide and in stalked Angus Gregory. Beatrice in his wake. "Of all the Infernal holes," he was oratinR. "To think it bears the name of Gregory. I'll fire that manl I could run a better hostelry with one Anger." Behind him came Beatrice Greg ory, stopping to stomp out t ciga rctte. Kathleen looked down at Brid get. Angus Gregory's former sec retary was trapped on the lower stairway Beyond her was Mrs MacDonald. her face alight with interest. "Here," thought Kathleen, "goes our identity in one fell swoop. How can I slop it?" Aloud she caroled. "Try running It with one finger nd see what it's like to run it on nothing at all like that poor fellow is doing." Her ruse succeeded loi only a moment. Angus looked at his daughter, then Bridget moved and he looked at her. The massive Gregory hands met behind the Gregory back. The Gregory feet rocked in their shoes: then, prop erly warmed up, the Gregory voice bellowed. "What in . . . what are you doing here?" Kit-Smyth, who had heard the Gregorys arrive, rushed in just in time to hear the question. "Yes, yes, Mr. Gregory," he hastened to explain, "these young ladies are the two 1 had brought up from the village to prepare the house for you." "Just a couple of working girls trying to get along," affirmed Kath leen, striving to check the tirade she felt Angus was about to turn on Bridget. Angus Gregory looked at his daughter, sputtered, then turned his wrath to a safer subject. "That infernal hotel," he began. "Only one bathroom in the whole place No heat in the rooms. Not a thing fit for a man to cat in that hole they call a grill room " "So you can't take it?" queried Kathleen, and blocked Angus as Bridget slipped past her and out of the door. Beatrice Gregory, who had been lighting one of her chain of ciga rettes, found her voice. "Take it!" she snapped. "Young lady, some one should have taken you when Sou were small and used a hair rush." Kathleen smiled at her aunt. You should know." she observed lightly. "If good little girls stay small from pats on the head I know what made you so tall. She es caped from the room. Mrs. MacDonald, who had re mained in the shadows hurried after Kathleen, convulsed with laughter. Reaching her own living room she said to her son, "Donald, this child doesn't need anvone to defend her. She's completely ca pable of handling her own battles." Donald looked at Kathleen with a teasing, admiring glance. "I was afraid of that," he admitted. Kathleen s mood of the after noon changed In the twinkling of his eves. She was e.iv. audacious. seeking some outlet for the sudden joyous excitement which possessed her. A Fairy Circle SHE found a baby-grand piano in a far corner of the ronm and made it ring with popular selec tions She sang her own accom paniments in a low, throaty, chuck ling voice and flirted with Norman so outrageously that Donald de serted Bridget to join her. And then they sang together, sang to each other while the others beat in rhythm to their melodies a rhythm Kathleen didn't hear be cause she felt for the moment thai the two, she and Donald, were alone in a fairy circle. The midnight chimes ol the clock stopped them. The two young men left for the hotel and Kathleen, in the room assigned her, contrarily threw herself onto the bed and burst into tears, mulTling the sobs with her pillow. She had been ashamed of her people. And she loved them 89. Mrs. MacDonald wouldn't know that Angus wasn't reall; gruff and unjust; that he was only worried, terribly worried and thoughtless. And Mrs. MacDonald couldn't know that Aunt Beatrice would not have been rude to a stranger: par ticularly a maid; that when Aunt Beatrice rubbed against her niece there were always sparks flying. "But why," she moaned, "docs Bee always have to look like a coal burner on the upgrade?" Kathleen quieted in fear. She hoped her father would keep an eye on those cigarettes. At home the servants were trained to follow, their troll, retrieving lighted stub and putting out fires in smoulder ing upholstery. She sat up, dried her eyes an' felt better. Some good might com out of this trio At least Ancr could see she hadn't exaggerated ner letters. He would unquestioi ably build a new hotel. And jut let Beatrice get one good look a the inside of the cols and then would be new ones. After all thc were Gregorys. She wondered If the conaucst! she had made before coming tc Neutrality had been won by the glamour of The Golden Girl back ground, rather than bv her own individuality. Tve had to work to make Don ald notice me. Bridget just sits and acts her age and he hangs around her like a love-sick pup. What has she got that 1 haven't?" Donald had bid Bridget a linger ing good night He had merely given Kathleen a smart salute. "And I can't fight Bridget," shr mourned. On next though! iie fell it might not be necessary igui might win the informal hi wanted from Old Balmy and hei work would be over; at least hei need of winning Young Donald. She went to sleep with an ach in her heart and a heretofore un known sense ot personal defeat Awakening, she knew she mus find some way to see her fathei alone and without the MacDonald: or even the Gregorys knowing.

Wm. Brummett, assistant field rep resentative for the region, said "there has been a partial curtailment of the number of men on the rolls all over the country. The curtailment Is based principally, on persons going Into private Industry who have not been replaced on the rolls."
