MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1936. Meet Mr. Lochinvar By Marie Blizard yESTERDAJr:Donald"reoreti" that hrf will be unable to attend the Yacht Club dance with Laura. Cecily it distressed at the trouble she hat cauted her friend. They go to the dance. Chapter 39 Emerald Necklace THE door opened and two more women came in. "Hello, Cecily, you've quite a large party from Darelea, haven't you? Nora lioodale greeted her. Mrs. Goodale'a place was the most : pretentious in Vickersport. She kept a staff of nine servants. It was rumored that her husband had made his money during the pro hibition era in some manner witn which the government wasn't ac ouainted. The colonv went to Mrs. Goodale's large parties and invit ed her to theirs sometimes, she wasn't yet accepted. Perhaps in ten or fifteen years When she had none out and Ccc lly was still struggling with her new hair-do, trying to mane it roil up and not out, Laura said, "I really loathe myself for gossiping but Nora Goodale would get some where quicker if she wouldn't al ways De so namDoyant. Did you notice her necklace?" Cecily said she hadn't. "Just a little platinum chain and n emerald drop that must be worth a fortune. Not exactly what Mrs. Brewster would consider de ripueur for a simple Yacht Club dance." A blast of music greeted them as they opened the dressing-room door. Philip rose from a chair near the dressing-room. "I've never danced with you, Cecily," he said. "Are you terribly good?" "Practically Pavlova," she said modestly. "But you'll have to dance with the two of us. . . ." She turned around to include Laura. Laura had gone. She fitted smoothly Into Philip's arms and they glided off, falling into perfect rhythm. "You are , , ." he said. "I am what?",She was thinking: Glide smoothly "on this beautiful floor. I wonder how Locke dances. I'll bet he can't negotiate a turn without knocking into two other couples. He's just the kind of a man who couldn't dance. "Perfect," Philip said. Cecily had forgotten what she had asked him. It didn't make any difference whether a man could dance well or not. You didn't spend all your life dancing. At least the Cecily Stuarts didn't. General Harboard cut in. "Guess these young fellows can't corner the prettiest girl in the room," he aid gallantly and swung Cecily off her feet. Cecily, making an effort to keep her balance and feeling not a little like a storm-tossed craft, devoted her attention to keeping an even keel. The dance was a long one and there were no young men who dared to cut in on the General. After they'd cavorted, hopped, skipped and careened around the room a seemingly endless number m nines uie music came 10 an ena and Cecily disentangled her tulips irom tne uenerai s oid-lashloned watch-chain. "That was great," he panted. Til claim another dance." "It was fun," Cecily said aloud. Dnder her breath she said, "Not if I know it, sir!" Freed of the General, Cecily found herself instantly claimed by a procession of the younger men. She danced for a solid hour with out sitting down. She finally gave up when she was dancing with one of the Penny boys. "One more twirl, Jim, and I'll have housemaid's knee. Let's sit this one out and you go get me a nice long, cool drink, please." Furtive Figure 'THEY walked their way off the floor and went into the trophy room where cooling drinks were being served. It was chilly there. Jim Penny laid, "I'll got your wrap. Hold this table I'll be back in a jifty." "You'd better take my check. All polo coats look alike." Over the top of her frosted glass Cecily's eyes sought Laura. She hadn't seen her dancing and she didn't see her anywhere about. "She's probably holding hands with the smitten medico," Jim Penny offered. He folded Cecily's coat over her chair. "I say. that re minds me, I've asked Mrs. Fernan da for this next dance. Where'll I take you, Cecily?" "Just leave me." Cecily Im plored, and wriggled her toes In her sandals. "My feet need a rest." "Sure it's okay?" "Of course, it Is. I want to give my feet a rest and if I go back I'll fall into the arms of the General or the indefatigable Grandpa Mac Donald." Cecily finished her drink, put her glass on a table and walked out through the French windows intending to return at once. Back of the clubhouse it was deserted. And breathlessly beautiful. The music was muted there. The night was alive with beauty, the trees stirring in a September breeze. The dock running down from the clubhouse was a shadowy skel eton in the moonlight. A tempting path to walk, Cecily stood mule-1 termlned for a few minute It was chilly without her wrap but if she went back for it, she'd lose her mood. She ran down the steps and along the walk, the breeze whip- Cing her fragile frock. She leaned ack against the rail and looked at the stars. Then her arms felt cold and she turned to go back. She took a step and halted, her heart in her mouth. There on the back steps of the club, peering into the o o m through the window where she had sat, was a single, furtive fig ure. A long, lanky figure with a hat pulled over its face. She watched it bend and straighten. Locke She tried to run. The wind, catching her skirts, impeded her progress. Angrily, she kicked them out of her way, clutched them so that she could run. She was angry, excited She dared not call out. There was something everything in the line of that figure that told her he did not want to be discovered. When she was almost at .he begin ning of the dock, she did call: "Yoo-noo: She saw him straighten, turn to ward her. "It's Cecily!" she called back. She was thinking: If he knows who I am he won't ru- away. She began to run blindly. Throwing all caution, all pride, to the winds. If he went away she would never see him again. What difference did it make If he thought she was throwing herself at him? She saw him turn back to look in the window, saw him raise his hand. He was signaling to her. Her foot found the nm step. Then she stumbled. Her hleh heel caught in the wooden step. She let herself fall, instinctively saving herself from wrenching her ankle. When she scrambled to her feet. he was gone! Lost SHE hurried up the steps, looked riffht and left frnntirnllv nn thi veranda where he had been. Then she ran to the corners, peering into the darkness. There was no sight of him to be seen. She saw her coat where she hnH left it over the back of the chair near the window. She reached in and got it, wrapped it around her shoulders and took a path off the side of the clubhouse. She walked as far as the road and then turned back. She was thoroughly chilled. She wanted a hot drink and to see Laura. The music has stonned. She heard the roll of the drum. That meant the supper dance was fin ished and she wanted to find Laura before the couples paired off for supper. It was a good two minutes after the roll of the drum that she got to the clubhouse door. one found the lounge rooms de serted. The crowd had not yet left tne dance noor. (Jecily made her way toward them. When she got to the door, Mr. Lochran, chairman of the dance committee, was leaving the or chestra stage and the dancers were turning to each other, looking down at the floor, separating care fully, picking their steps. "What's the matter?1' she asked a man near her. Mrs. Goodale has lost a valu able necklace." "Lost it?" "Yes, she'- lust missed It. The committee is going to search the noor while we have supper. Cecily wet her dry lips. Laura. Where was Laura? Cecily turned just in time to see Laura slipping in the same door through which she had come. Cec ily made a quick slide on the pol ished floor and caught Laura by the arm, "Where have you been?" she whispered. "I went out ... I went to the car. I couldn't find my vanity and inougnt i d lett it there. What's all the fuss here? What's the matter?" Cecilv dracned her aside, out nf the way of the people leaving the dance floor. Mrs. Goodale has Inst her em erald necklace." Laura's mouth dropped open. Lost it?" she breathed with the same emphasis Cecily had put on tne worn. "That's what she snvs" Cecilv said, keeping her eye on Laura's telltale cheeks where the quick color came and went swiftly. "Well then, why not? What's being done about it?" "The committee is going to search the room. Laura Atwill. have you seen anyone here tonight who wasn't invited?" Don t ask me. Cec Iv." Laura pleaded. "I ... I think I'll go along and leave my wrap. I'm starved. Philip was looking for you a little while back. He says you're having supper with him.'' "All right. Cecilv said, turn ne away, "I can do with something hot. I've been out having a look at the moon and I'm froien." How was the moon?" Philln asked, guiding her to a table in a far corner of the lounge where Gloria and Tony and the boys had alrendy corralled supper for them. "Cold. Very cold. I hope you don't mind if I keep by coat on wnne 1 get fle-trozen; 1 want von to be comfortable H he answered gallantly. Continued tomorrow. Derby DERBY. Sept. 30. (Spl.) Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
