Gregory hands were clasped be

stalked home.
"And that seems to be that," mur

him as usual. In the meantime
there was to be a dance at The
juacuonaid Motel.
Mayme had seen to it that they
would attend.
Donald and Norman offered to
act as further escorts and Mrs.
MacDonald smilingly told them
he felt sure they would need a
chaperone.
Mayme arrived early, saw the
simple street frocks and ex
claimed: "Oh you ain't dressed
yet."
She revealed she was properly

The girls exchanged glances and
hurried upstairs. They had brought
formals for such an emergency.
Kathleen dressed with sense of
teiumph. For once she could ap
pear before Donald MacDonald as
herself. With the cloudy weather
the freckles were disappearing,
her hair was growing long, a damp
comb and Bridget's deft fingers
had laid a smooth wave in the
burnished depths.
Mrs. MacDonald, looking up as
Kathleen entered, caught her
breath and discreetly lowered her
eyes. That simple gown of gold
cloth might deceive the eyes of a
man as to its cost, but not those of
a woman who knew and purchased
nothing but exclusive models.
She glanced at her son. He was
taring at Kathleen as though he'd
never really seen her before. "I'm
a romantic old fool," thought his
mother.
Kathleen was also watching Mrs.
MacDonald's son, and what she
saw pleased her. He strode to
wards her both arms outstretched,
caught her hands in his and smiled
down at her. "Faith, ye fair blind
my eyes," he said softly.
But Donald claimed the first
dance with Bridget Mayme's "boy
friend" took Kathleen for the sec

first and looked over ner shoulder
to where Donald's head was low

Ruined Evening
PVENTUALLY she found herself
- in Donald's arms strong, lure
arms that guided her deftlv about
the crowded floor Foi a little while
she could forget his being a Mac
Donald. give herself up to the sen
suous music the exquisite rapture
of melodv and rhvthm.
"I've always considered the
phrase, you dance divinely,' a
cliche invented lor gigolos." mur
mured Young MacDonald.
Kathleen leaned back to look up
Into the dark blue disturbing eyes.
"And now?" she asked, expec
tantly. MacDonald looked away abrupt
ly. "And now. since dancing with
Bridget. I know it's been under
estimated." "It does make a difference with
whom ones dancing, doesn't It?"
she queried sweetly and came
down on his fool with a vicious
tomp 'f her spike heel.
The evening was ruined for both
of them. Donald nursed a bruised
instep and Kathleen bruise she
couldn't locate. It wasn't oride it
went deeper than that.
That might, the formal gown, a
discarded mass lefl on the floor.
he crept into bed determined to
return to New York with her
father. She honed he'd gain the
necessary proof of claim priorltv
from Balmy and close down those

And then she hoped they
wouldn't have to close down and
that she could stay and help Brid-
f;et win MacDonald. It would be
ike pressing on an ulcerated tooth,
a form of self martyrdom but then
she felt like a martyr.
Bridget watched her anxiously
the next morning. She was march
ing about the house, her hand
clasped behind her. The Irish girl
was relieved they were going to
Balmy's, the old fellow had
soothing effect upon this red head.
Balmy's table was set for five
when the girls entered shaking
the snow from their shoulder.
The other two guests entered
immediately after, Angus and
Beatrice Gregory.
Balmy watched for a moment
"We've met before," Angus told
him. "Kit-Smyth had the young
ladies prepare the house for us
the day they came. They did an
excellent job."
Talk was general until after tea
was over, then Mr. Gregory cleared
hi throat and said: "About those
letters my father wrote you. You
don't mind me looking at them?"
Beatrice explained to the girl.
"My father and Mr. Campbell
were boyhood friends. They cor
responded after my father came to
this country. I dare say the letters
Mr. Campbell has kept are most
interesting. The would reveal the
early life here."
Kathleen's eyes widened. So. her
grandfather had written of the
strike, the filing of the claim, and
probably of the feud. Those old
letters, bearing the stamp of the
pony express, would be documen
tary proof.
She looked at Balmy anxiously.
"I hae willed the letters and
trophies to your daughter. Master
Gregory. At my death they go to
her, not before. But if you wish to
hear "
"I want to see," intercepted
Angus gruffly.
"A look at the cots is what you
should take, sir," countered
Balmy, and somehow the talk was
skillfully turned to needed repairs.
How About Murder?'
COON after dusk the four guests
found themselves on the trail
towards the Gregory house.
"The most ungrateful, stubborn
man I ever encountered." Greeorv
snapped, his anger at Bridget for
