"1 am over twenty-one yean of age and not under the dictate of my father. You'll either give me my property or be arrested for theft Kit-Smyth blustered a little, but fiast experience had taught him his Kathleen Gregory was fear less. The bags taken from the car, Kathleen looked through one handbag and turned to Kit-Smyth. "Now, my power of attorney. You've stolen that from this bag. I think you've gone just about as far as you're going to go. No one in this county or In this state is going to listen to vou when I've told my story. If we'd waited for you and your right-of-way. those men would have been dead. Come on, now, give it to me!" Reluctantly Kit-Smyth reached in an inner Docket and withdrew the document. Kathleen looked at it to be sure it had not been tarn pered with. She moved her bags across the line onto MacDonald property. "Now go wire my father that his chance of claiming I was unau thorized and willful In turning The Golden Girl over to the rescue of the MacDonald miners. Is pretty slim. As long as he hadn t enough trust in me to write me, tou can tell him foi me. that I am no longer a Gregory and I'll appear against him If he tries to bring such a suit" "No longer a Gregory , . . ha!1 Kit-Smyth jumped into his car ana arove away. Kathleen stood a moment She had lust renounced her own neo pie. The MacDonalds would wel come her, but she wasn't ready to accept them as an alternative, Was there no truly neutral ground in Neutrality? Balmy's house! Wearily she made the several tripj down. The old shepherd greeted her joyous ly, escorting her each time she Weill 1U1 ttUUHIUIltll UBUB. As Balmy had prophesied, the door was unlocked, there was fire wood and le? in the cannister. As she brewed the tea and toasted old bread. Kathleen indulged in serious thinking. For the first time in ner lire she was truly alone, she believed Donald loved her and would ask her to become a Mac- Donald, but even in his delirium he had said nothing of marriage. And she had thought her father loved ' her and believed in her. Reaction from the dramatic ten sion of the previous days and nights set in. She sought Balmy's cot and for many hours turned and tossed. PerhaDS she had been wrong in everything. She was young, her lather was old and full oi ripe wisdom. The next morning Kathleen carried her breakfast to the ter race. Bridget found her there. "We saw smoke coming from the chimney," she explained. "We had no idea where you'd gone to. Klt Smvth said vou wouldn't be on Gregory property. Why didn't you come to us? "I couldn't and this Isn't Greg ory property, it s Balmy a. Bridget how . . . have they heard about Donald I mean?" Bridget nodded, her eyes trou bled. "He's fine. He needed the rest perhaps more than anything. He sent for his mother last night." Kathleen nodded. He had Kent for his mother. He hadn't sent for her. That Awful Man!' THE men axe being transferred to the MacDonald hospiltl to day, those who aren't ready to come horn. Kit-Smyth ordered them off the property. Doctor Cleveland and he had a peach of a row. "What are you going to do. Kath leen? Hadn't vou better come up with us?" "I'll wait for Balmy, then I'm going on." Bridget waited a few moments as though desirous of saying some thing. "Well." she stood up. "I'll ice you before you leave. Oh." she thrust forward 1 package she had been carrying, "Mrs. MacDonald asked me to give this to you." Kathleen barely heard her. Don ald hadn't called for her. He hadn't lent word to her. Nothing else mattered. She could at least leave the scene with flags flying She could at least erect Old Bnlmv In festive attire Balmy would like to see her truly feminine. In her bags, aome where. there wai a white ruffled dress embroidered In tiny vellow rosebuds. She'd dnn that She felt better after that; tied her curls back with a thin vellow ribbon and went back to the ter race fcelina more In tune with the inple tree. It was then she saw the pack ice.

It was ridiculous to admire anyone as much as she admired him. It was rather frightening to feel your lifetime's happiness depended upon him. "Feel better?" He smiled at her and the world was suddenly righted, in focus, oeautiful. Kathleen handed him the tele gram. He read it slowly, his face reflecting the emotions each phrase produced. And when he reached the final line he said. "Hal Hurrah for him. See. he's told you not to marry me. For the first time I have some hopes. I've never vet seen you do anything vou were ordered to do." "Yet?" questioned Kathleen. "That's what I said Now stay where vou are." He reached oul to draw her close, then his voice changed from triumph to serious ness. "Uo you know dear. I've wanted to do this from the mo ment I saw vou? 1 didn't know the desire to punish and to love were so involved. 1 fought it. I wasn'l fighting vou. I was fighting myself fighting my love for vou. I tried tc build up a good strong hatred and it turned on me. You'll never know" When Kathleen had use of her lips again, she exclaimed. "Whni do you mean I'll never know? be you thinx I wanted to love you: you stiff-necked MacDonald?1' lhey were at it again.
