'Love To You Both'
"TpHE dayf on th calendar
marched along, each one bring
ing the closing of The Golden Girl
nearer, and Kathleen could get
nowhere with MacDonald when It
came to discussing the mine.
In desperation she went to
Balmy. "It's like watching some
thing die and not being able to do
anything," she told him, and
ought to convey her feeling that
the mine was an entity, a great
being with drifts for arteries, the
life of the miners pulsing through
to the golden heart of It.
"Don't worry, lass," he advised,
"there will be an hour when that
last stone barrier between the two
mines will melt away.. It won't
be hacked away by bate, it will be
melted by love, not the love of a
man for a maid, but a greater, im-
Eersona) love, the love of man
ind for mankind."
Spring came overnight, an early
spring that closed the short win
ter with the swift breath of a Chi
nook wind.
As though a blanket had been
lifted, the painted mountains
sprang up in radiant crimson,
purple, green and white.
Along the canyons, willows and
cottonwoods waved branches blood
red with new life, promise of fill
ing buds and fluted leaves.
. On Balmy's terrace, tiny crocus
and freesias scented the air; a pear
tree in the garden burst into pale
Slossom. And the old shepherd
ragged himself out from behind
the stove to the sun. then frisked
about like a puppy.
Then came an evening in April
when the scented spring and the
new moon seemed a desecration
to Kathleen. She had taken Grand
mother MacBride into Carsted
for the final fitting of new teeth,
a birthday gift from Beatrice
Gregory.
Hands aching from their first
long stretch of grasping a wheel,
he put the car away and walked
lowly towards the house.
Bridget was a white shadow on
the veranda. She met Kathleen
on the steps and it seemed to Kath
leen that her friend was like a
vestal taper, aglow with some
shininR spirit substance.
"Darling . . . would you . , . could
you And someone else to come and
live with vou?"
Kathleen stiffened for what she
felt was coming. "No one like you.
Bridget, but . . . of course why?''
Well, Bridget laughed and her
voice was like the chime of tiny
bells. "I'm about to become Mrs.
MacDonald. We thought we'd wait
. . . that is. I did ... I wanted to,
well you know until you'd finished
four quest. But now I think mavbe
can help. Oh darling. I'm so
happy I could burst, and to think
I didn't want to come out here with
you. Kathleen, do you think a
hanty Irish gnl can live up to the
title of Mrs. MacDonald?"
Blinding Tears
F'ATHLEEN listened to Bridget's
incoherent talk, only half
hearing. She was thinking. 1 must
get away. I must go at once. I can't
stand It any longer."
"The novs have gone to Carsted
for proper celebration knicknacks.
and to wire Los Angeles: they'll
be back In an hour, didn't vou
pass them on the way? I'm going
over to set the table, come over as
soon as vou rest, won't vou?"
Bridget hurried away Kathleen
went to her room, stopped to pet
Circe who was curled on the studio
couch and then went to the wide
table. She could lust grasp the
pen. her writing was barely legi
ble. She couldn t say much.
Mu work is done here, dear i wish
you every Joy. Congratulate Donald
for me. Vou are the two dearest
friends i have, you should be wonder
fully happy together.
I've done all I could do about the
mine. Maybe, when he is your hue

I don't want to spoil tour celebra
Hon. I haven't been feellny welt,
maybe I'm homesick. I'll charter a
plane in Cargted my love to you
both.
Kathleen
Swiftly then she packea s bag
and hurried from the house. She
had to put that ugly structure be
hind her: to get out of this divided
town.
She would hire car In Neu
trallty. Bridget might need the
otner. .
Tears blinding her eyes, she
stumbled down the trail. There
was a light in Balmy's cottage. She
should stop and tell him goodby.
No, she'd return, later, return as '
Kathleen Gregory.
A hand reached for her bag.
"There, la&, come in."
BaJmv bad been standing on the
trail, his white head held in a lis
tening attitude, meres some
thing fey in the wind," he told her.

tell me."
He seemed talking of two differ
ent things Obediently Kathleen
followed and once there she burst
out. Tm eoina home. Balmv. You
see, they don't need me anymore.
Bridget is going to marry Donald,
she just told me. She was father's
secretary, she understands all
about the mine, she'll manage the
right-of-way somehow."
Aye," agreed Balmy In a half
comprehending, half-puzzled tone.
The light from his window re
vealed the heartbreak visible on
the young face before him. Quick
ly he diverted her thoughts.
"And now, lass, that you've seen
fit to tell me you're The Golden
Gir you'd like to hear about the
Kathleen looked up. She hadn't
actually admitted it. She didn't
care about the feud. She only
wanted to get away: to get away
from Donald. But Balmy was talk
ing. Do you know my dear, that one
of your forebears was one of the
first white men to come to this con
tinent? Before the time of the
English and the French, soon after
Columbus returned to Spain,
party of Spanish grandees with
adventure in their blood, and, in
spired by the tales of gold to be
found in the new word, sailed for
the Americas.
The Courting Shirt
"I WON'T go into their history.
Prompted by the Gulf coast
Indians, they came inland. Only
one man was seen again and he
told of the wealth they had cached
in the painted hills.
"Generations afterwards, one of
his line, finding his wealth in
Spain dissipated, decided to search
for that wealth. He came across
the plains with a daughter. Wher
he reached the frontier settlement
we call Carsted, he was old and ill
and penniless. His daughter, this
Castilian gentlewoman, worked ai
anything she could And to do. to
care for him.
"Soon after their arrival, two
young prospectors come to the set
tlement from Scotland. MacDonald
and MacGregor. Women were
scarce and not of the kind to in-.
spire men like these Scots to
thoughts ol matrimony. They both
wanted this girl.
"MacDonald thought he had the
inner road for he was unmarried
MacGregor's young wife had died
before he left Scotland and he had
left children there. He thought he
had the inner road, for what
woman could refuse to mother the
motherless?
"The girl listened to both and
considered neither. They were
penniless prospectors. She wanted
someone to care for her father. At
last she laughingly bargained. Shr
said she would marry the first
man who would prove he had
struck gold."
Balmy paused to light his pipe
and Kathleen relaxed She had
been living in another world foi
the moment.
"You know the history of the
strike." Balmy continued. "How
MacDonald and MacGregor lived
in the cabin they had built tht
previous fall: how they started
out on the same day and struck
gold on opposite sides of the ridge
at about the same hour.
"MacGregor had the best of II

"Brforc that time they had take

Kathleen's eyes were Immem
pools of Interest. "And my grand
father won. and MacDonald nevei
forgave him. But Balmy, wh
didn't Old Angus forgive MacDon
ald. why did he feel such bitter
hatred towards the man he'd
bested?"
Balmy stirred restlessly. He
walked to the edge of the terrace
and stood listening. Kathleen
waited. She could hear nothing
but night murmurs, wind in the
trees and the thrum of chicaders
"There's n.w happiness in a wat
won by bloodshed, nor by a hard
bargain. Donna Emilia was ar
obedient wife. She kept her word
to the letter, but she had no love
for Angus. And Angus, frustrated

Kathleen believed she knew ho'

she was suffering for her grand
father's hard-turned bargain. I
