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

"Thank vou." Constance an

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,

Two hands came belatedly to

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

This bothered her for many
miles. The Tsylora had not fol
lowed the telegram. 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

school militaire in Texas, and
very happy they ara with moch

"Alwave they speak of when
they go back to thees Texas, then

Only now they have like El Ca

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

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

if it would crumble if aha

"What brings you here?"
Constance jumped at the ques
tion. There was nothing old about

ity.
"I don't Intend sitting cleat

Constance informed him.
"Answers, ansu-ert! ME give

"Definitely yes. I'm Constance

New York. 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.
