Novice Brother And Sister Chapter One SUE DAVENPORT came into the big living room with her own pe culiarly light- footed step. She was flushed and tingling from the crisp October air. Her dark eyes, which had a trick at times of seeming far too large for her small oval face, sparkled at the sight of the first wood fire of the season. "Bless Maggie's heart!" she mur mured, coming to rest one small brogued foot on the old brass rail ing which had enclosed the flre- Slace in her mother's girlhood ome. She stood there for some time, smiling to herself in conscious en joyment of well being. It was good to have walked for miles among the rustling leaves along the river bank until the rapidly falling dusk drove her homeward. It was good to come into this spacious room whose every furnishing had been familiar to her since her baby hood, though now it occupied a comfortable apartment instead of the big house where she and her brother Allen had been born. It was good it was best of all! to be twenty-four and not unattractive, and the youthful mistress of this new nomel "Want I should turn on the lights. Miss Sue?" Maggie asked, entering quietly. "Most time to set the table for dinner." Sue roused herself with a little laugh. "I suppose it is! And I must have a bath and change before then." She came close to the old woman. "I smell of woodsmoke and dusty leaves and walnuts. They're thick under the big tree on Wyeth Hill!" "Miss Sue, you haven't been up there alone again and this late in the day besides? How many times do I have to tell you 'tain't safe up there? Jesse James used to hide in Dug Cut " The girl's laugh rang out again and she seized the old servant in her arms and hugged her. "Maggie darlin', they 'laid Jesse James in his grave' before I was born before you were born, if it comes to that! It was grand up there, watching the lights come on in the city, the planes circling down to the airfield. And " she forestalled the automatic protest which she saw on the other's lips "I wasn't alone! Barbara was with me. Maggie sniffed, unmolllfled. "Miss Barb'ra'd be a heap of help if a tramp should creep outen those woods." Suddenly the impli cation of hor younu mistress' first speech dawned on her. "Sue Dav enport! There ain't no walnut trees whatever right on the hill! You must have went right down in'.o the woods to nnd then nuts. Hon estly, honestly. Miss Sue! You ain't no more fit than a baby to be out after sunset. I'm going to speak to Mr. Alien Sue laughed a trifle ruefully. It was perfectly true thai even yet the woods along the river bluffs occasionally harbored undesirable characters. She deflected the out raged Maggie's rage with the adroitness oi experience. , "Look at my hands, Mag dear! Wouldn't you know I'd take off my gloves and get all stained up the very day before Barbara's party? Do you know any way to get this Horrible brown on "Pumice stone, Miss Sue; that Is, if you haven't used soap on 'em yet! bhe examined the small palms -nxiously. "Come straight into ine oamroom wiin mei ooay a think you was only four! Easy On The Eyes AN HOUR later Sue presented herself to Allen, contentedly reading his paper before the Are. Her dark cap of curls lay smooth and shining, she had exchanged . her dusty woolen suit for a silky brown velvet gown with a wide creamy collar, she smeued pieus antlv of fine soap, powder and a hint of her own special perfume.

Presently they were at the table, devouring witn neaitny young ap petites Maggie's delicious dinner. Allen put forward a finger to the silver bowl of violets, long stemmed purple beauties with an expensive look. ''The faithful Kettle?" She shrugged. "Yes. I must be losing my technique. I simply can t discourage him. Lost night I de liberately picked a quarrel with him; and this morning he sent these to apologize for my unman nerly words which, I assure you, astonished me far more than they can have done you.' Isn't he an idiot, Allen?" "He's a darned successful law yer, my dear young woman. You might go lartner ana tare worse, you know. Sue laughed outriKht "Sue Ket tie!

SHE pushed back her plate, rest ed a rounded elbow on the ta ble and propped her chin in her hand. For the love of Mike. Buddy! What's got you all excited over Jim Kettle?

James is a million years older than I am eleven, at leasi. ne Allen interrjnted her. "Honest ly, Sue, haven't you ever been in love? Haven't vou ever wanted to have your own home, order meals for your man, put your nana in nis and bo . . . wherever he wanted you to?" A flush rose under his dark skin, but he kept on steadily "I thought all girls had crushes! I know you're always telling me about Barbara s. You re twenty four, Sue dear; older than Mother was when she married Dad. Aren't vou haven't vou " Really alarmed, she answered almost in a whisper. "Do do you wont me to, Allen?

Later when the two had settled down for one of their rare eve nings at home, Sue curled with her book in a corner of the big davenport, Allen smoking his be loved pipe over his magazine, the girl referred again to James Ket tle. "You gave me a bad few min utes at dinner, Buddy, did you realize It? I truly thought you were trying to break something to me." She let her book slide off her lap as she leaned toward him earnestly. "I suppose I know I knowl that you 11 marry soma day. Of course I do 1 want you to marry; but not just now, Allen, not for another year or so. You're only thirty; that's young for men In these days, isn't it? Why, you've only been out of college five years!'' He chuckled. "You make ma sound positively callowl Must I remind you that I emerged with my doctor's degree in three, branches of engineering? That I'm a Junior member of a some what important firm? And that, he added with a curious sort ot deliberation, "Forest Webb and I are about the only bachelors left in our particular set?" He went on swiftly before she could an swer: "It's your life we're talking about Sue, not mine. It came to me all of a sudden tonight as I said that it's queer you haven't been in and out of love a dozen times. I wonder," he went on anx iously, "if it' because you know too many men? If your life wasn't all cluttered up with my friends if you were really hard up for fellows to take you out, danc with you, send you flowers" Her low laughter halted him momentarily, but he began again, his kind eyes fixed on her wor riedly, his affectionate voice full of brotherly concern.
