Didn't he understand ih muit be making the trip for the food of the whole family, his good as much as any one's? Couldn't he see beyond the end of his nose, or didn't he care about any tomorrow? And if be didn't, and Donna didn't, and if her mother too was only Interested In the present, then it was up to her to look to their future, Constance stood up, sfter her one brief moment of shock. "You're holding dinner for me, Meg, come on . . . and thank you, dear." Peter Taylor wondered if Con stance Cabrillo had undergone a sea change in Meg's room, or if she had changed places with some older sister. The young business woman who came into the dining room seemed years older then the ruffle-haired youngster who had gone in. And the change was deeper than a change of clothing. He questioned Meg with his eyes, and Meg, standing behind Constance's chair, aignaled back, a ludicrous gyration of eyebrows and eyes which sought to express com miseration, sympathy and an ap peal to Peter to be kind to the girl. Peter tried without much suc cess. . "What would you like to do this afternoon, Miss CabrilloT" Constance seemed to bring her self back to the present "You hsven't said how long you Intended remaining. I'd like to plan a few trfrs for you, some en tertainment, and . . . well, ahow you around the ranch." "Thank vou." Constance an swered thoughtfully. "I do want to see the ranch, but not today. Is Beachport within easy driving distance" "Two hours along the coaat road: may I drive you there?" . "No thank you. And about my Visit. I had intended going back tonight. Now I may stay several days." Taylor asked no further ques tions of Constance, but when ahe had hurried down the hill, he called Meg to him. "What happened?" he demand ed, bluntly. Come on, come on, something happentd to Mist Ca brillo after aha went into the room with you, Meg." He eyed her suspiciously, "You know something: out with HP Meg shifted from foot to foot her face red, her apron fluttering with the agitation of her hands.

Give her aomething to remember when shea back: on her lob. tlavtn Two hands came belatedly to Meg's mouth, and her a k I r t a whirled as she rushed into the house before her tongue further betraved her vow of secrecy, "Work!" Peter flung after her. "If she works she isn't a Cab rillol" And he went out on the hill to see Constance, alone, go ing to the little cemetery. Only A Longing -ONSTANCE walked on leaden feet She stopped at the pick et gate to notice how well the graves have been tended, how clear the paths, then moved on to her father a grave. For a long time she stood, con scious of the stillness about her. She had no grief to bring to this grave, only a longing. "If you could tell me what I should do she murmured. "With the world so troubled, did you mean I should keep this place aa a haven for them?" There was no snswer there and ahe started out to stop at a mnn umrnt which thrust an aggressive shaft towards the heavens, a though the one beneath it had de fled eternity and demanded admission. Constance smiled slowly. So f hat was the answer. It was there, cut In the stone "You win what vou fisiht for." Old Michael Ma honev believed that Constance could picture him wrangling I Choice seat in the hereafter. She saluted the shaft and hur rled back to the ranch, unaware of a man on a hilltop who watched her, a strange, unwilling tenderness In his eyes. There waa no tendernesa In the eyes of Constance Cabrillo when she ordered Juliano to have her car brought around and someone, preferably Dolores, who knew the road to Beachport with it. Even Dolores, resplendent in rose-colored suit, blue hat white shoes and black stockings, was subdued by the Cabrillo countenance. "Juliano. Constance leaned from the driver's seat "who han dles the Cabrillo affairs at Beach port?" "Sefior Francks, the Judge. He Is at the courthouse opposite, on the third floor from the front door of the building, which is with cigsr and cigaret counters occu pied." Constance gasped and thanked him. "And no word to anyone of where I'm going. Juliano." She drove down El Camino Real, loving each evenly spaced tree, each foot of brown earth: the vista of blue sea at the end of the avenue. These things were enduring. Human affections were not She had thought that in a crisis hei family would atand by; give her some credit for business acumen.

They had not tried to freeze her out; instead, they had given her a warm wel come. Perhaps, she thought, they sought to disarm her in this way. "Dolorea, tell me something of the Taylor. How did they happen to come here to the ranch? Where did they get the money they evi dently have?" "From Texas came the Senor Taylor and the beautiful senora, who was frail. With the heart ahe suffered. The doctairs, they aay for her sea air and the low lti- tude. For a little while they visit the resorts, but Sefior Taylor he ; cannot what you call twiddle the , thumb?" 1 Constance smiled. No, Mr. Tay lor waa hardly one to ait twid dling thumbs. "So then," continued Dolores, "he meet with your father at Santa Barbara at the fiesta, and your father he tell him he has one rancho which needs the good cattle man. Sefior Taylor he come to the ranch and he roar, he aay: 'What tell, I build heem up for you and you take heem over or you get heem new managair. So your father ne aay no, i give 10 you management ao long as thees rancho, the is in my hands.' - Judge Franck "COOO." Dolores exhaled with 3 austo. "they come and aoon young Pedro fie come from the school militaire in Texas, and very happy they ara with moch work and moch climate. "Alwave they speak of when they go back to thees Texas, then the tehort's heart the quit, tud den, two yeara ago. Now, aay the senora iayior. to texaa we go. Only now they have like El Ca brillo better than lexas. ao men they sell the rancho what they have in that panhandle . . . en orlta Conchita. how doea one have the rancho in the panhandle?" Constance answered vaguely, "The panhandle is a tection of Texas, ao called because of the shape of the state on the map." She was thinking, this accounts for their money. They've had an income from their home ranch. They could have bought and sold the Cabrilloa anytime.' Only why did they have to have El Cabrillo? There must be other ranches in the same vicinity. Why try to rob the Cabrilloa? Gradually she worked up an ansrer at Pedro'a attitude. The tone he'd used when he suggested she could not find money for her very own ranch. His superior at titude, tie d acted as tnougn ne were the host and she a mere guest while in reality ahe was his employer. Min's Tim's engine boiled Into Beachport. Constance was aur prised to find such a thriving lit tle city. It aprawled out over tht sand flats to wharvea and Indus tries edging the bay, then crept back up Into the hills in attrac tive homes. A passing logging train blocked their way. Constance saw nothing in the great hewn lengths moving cast on flat cars, to point to her future. She only wished they would move more quickly. In town the located the court house, artd across the green found s building and Judge Franck'a of fice. Yes, he would see her if she would be brief. Constance stiffened with re sentment. He'd been retained by the Cabrilloa since he was nut of law school. No one had bothered him since her father's time, and now . . . she must be brief. She wondered it he too had received a telegram. "Sit down, Miss Cabrillo." said the secretary, after taking het into the Judge. Constance waa conscious of the Judge staring at her. She stared right back, lie had the appear ance of an ancient tree in that rumpled gray suit His skin was like the November leaf of an elm. yellow and dry. She wondered if it would crumble if aha touched it. "What brings you here?" Constance jumped at the ques tion. There was nothing old about hit voice; it crackled with vital ity. "I don't Intend sitting cleat across the room here so you can shout your answers to the wrold," Constance informed him. "Answers, ansu-ert! ME give anwers?" "Definitely yes. I'm Constance Cabrillo and I intend to know all vou know about the F.I Cabrillo situation before I leave thia of fice." Te be cenUoaee a :S0 Hawthorns Reuaa, KPO. I KOW; King's Orch.. KOIN.

Aug. 28.WP1 All the way from Nassau, The Bahamas, to a cleaning estab lishment In Manhattan yester day came a bundle of clothes from the Duchess of Windsor. The package, labeled "Her Royal Highness." arrived on the steamship Acadia. Customs au thorities, noting that the gowns were not declared on the ship's manifest, 'held them at the pier until a steamship official posted $500 covering bond. Then the package was rushed uptown, where a crew of clean ers worked late into the night on the garments. A few minutes before the Aca dia sailed again today, a repre sentative of the cleaners dashed breathlessly back to the pier, the customs passed the bundle and her highness' gowns were Nassau bound.
