county." tald Kathleen. "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

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

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

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

It was then she saw the pack
ice. It contained the other half

The last stitch was taken, the

Kathleen. The rose faded from her

SHE laid the wire aside and
looked at "the man." 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

When Kathleen had use of her
lips again, she exclaimed. "Whni

They stopped their auarreline
