He doem'l wail to (war he rfunu for fltr refusal. The next day the mtlkina iiffer be cause (ha hands celebrated loo trail. Chapter 27 'Old Sour Puss' IT DEVELOPED that Lamson knew something of cow. He could "strip" them, and ho ;ould watch the anlker in one Darn Constance could watch another and keep records for the three barns, watch the milk troughs and, by using Pancho. could see that the lone sober man on the ranch didn't fall asleep and let the cans overflow at the depot It was nine o'clock when Lam son, donning hit coat and hat. saw Constance riding back to the barm. Lamson was in high leather. He had stripped. He had mixed feed. He bad tossed hay. He had sung "coo bossv" to his heart's content. Constance, disheveled, angry and distressed, found Pedro wait ing with hiin. "You're right In one thing. Pedro, conceded. "You can trust this man. He's worth a dozen Ca brillos." Lamson smiled happily as Pe dro rode off. "A fine young man, Conchita," he murmured. "H'about those keys. Juliano took them from your desk for Master Don. H'l took the liberty of telling Mis ter Taylor." They rode quietly back to the ranch house. Constance was thinking. "This is a foretaste." She thought: "worth a dozen Ca brillos." She was i Cabrillo, but so was Donna. The weird whistle of a work train in the hills of El Cabrillo echoed and re-echoed. She thought: "Saturday Donna will ride a train; ride through the rib bon barrier of El Cabrillo: Donna who cares nothing for El Cabrillo. Whv? What's wrong with me?" She arrived at the ranch to find Don already in his car. "Hi. Connie, I'm on my way to Brachport, anything vou want there?" She shook her head. "No. But I want the keys to the wine cellar and I don't want them taken from my desk without my permission." And she told him what had oc curred. Don looked at her angrily. "Who in the devil owns this place?" he demanded. "Those keys belong to mother and Donna and me as much as they do to you. remember that. And those men are as much under our di rection as yours" "They are under the manager." Constance reminded him. "We'll see." retorted Don. "I'm going to need those musicians over the week end. so If you have anv of the poor devils milking cows, find someone to take their places. I'm of! to buy a station wagon -and get some lights In this plnre." "Don." Constance cried, "we can't afford lights and . . . and station wagons." "You can't." Don corrected. "Old sour puss." And he was off. Constance sought her mother. Mia. Cabrillo was still in bed a maribou jacket, fire in the hearth, and yellow sunshine streaming In through the windows, all warm ing and glorifying her. "Chita, good morning." she freeted. "Dear. I believe I'm go ing to like it here." Constance watched Juanlta. J'liiano's granddaughter, come in with a tray, watched her rapt ad miration of the seftora and un derstood. Nadine would have the adoration necessarv to her exist ence. "Now child, tell mother all bout your farm. How are things progressing? Are vou going to in crease our Income this year?" Constance considered telling her the truth. That thev could not expect to profit the first vear. Nadine would not understand, simply because she wouldn't listen. Always Waiting "VOU may count on the usual 1 income." she evaded. "And things were going very well, mother, until last night." Carefully the explained what the dereliction of the employees meant. "Mother, vou must insist upon letting Mr. Tavlor keep those kevs." "Constance, must you take that tone? Here these dear people have looked forward to our re turn for vesrs: it it only natural that they should want to cele brate " Constance wondered what other response she had xpected She told then of her conversation with Don. "Oh, Chita." moaned Mrt. Ca brillo. "Don't you see we must keep Don contented? And we need lights. We can't have guests stumbling around in the dark. As for the station wsgon. how else could we bring them from the airport' "Just remember. Conttance. that if you had not been to stub bornly insistent upon keeping this ranch, this condition would not have arisen. You've worked a great hardship on everyone." Constance went on to her room with that last phrese ringing in her ears: a great hardship on vervone." Slowly, as she changed to blur slacks, white shirt and scarlet Waterworks Boom Washington, Sept. 18 iJ'i- Alt BARKER topcoats are thower proofed $19.95 to $50.00 Barker's MEN'S STORE the moon cardigan, she conceded that her mother was right. She had worked a great hardship on everyone from the Taylors, the Cabrillos. John, the employees, down to herself. And for what? "Senonta Conchita," Dolores rapped on the door, "the Sehor John iss wait breakfast with you." John was waiting in the patio, a warm, sunny spot John's greet ing was as warm and cheering. "Lamson told me you'd been toe busy for breakfast," be explained, "so I waited." He had waited. Would he never stop waiting? Despite her depression she was hungry, and with food and hot coffee her spirits revived. "I suppose you're wondering why I intruded." John observed, as he lighted her after-breakfast cigaret "I felt you'd need some one here to handle things for vou. The Taylors alone are enough for a little girl, but the Taylors and the family combined" Constance leaned back In her chair. "You still feel that the Tavlors are enemies?" John looked at her sharply. "Don't you?" he countered. "I've had no reason to think so." "I have." he said earnestly. 'The old man practically told me last night, that he had staved on because he thought vou couldn't pull through and he'd buy in when you failed. The voung fellow believes In taking an easier route. He couldn't set iou. so now hes trying for Donna. He's taken her nn a tour of the place already.. They rode out a little while ago . . . that is." he qualified. "Donna rode out to meet him someplace, she didn't say where." Donna, up at this hour? Con stance wondered why her heart felt dead, a heavy burden in her breast. John laughed. "And looking like something off a dude ranch poster" Dispute Over Pancho "CENOKiTA!" The patio door " opened ana tne stauieooy stooc there. Donna behind him. "Am 1 to saddle Pancho for times young lady.'" Constance didn t know the cause of tier revolt. One thought na&ncd through her mind: one question, was Donna to take everything tnat belonged to her? You are to saddle Pancho tor no one but me," she snapped: and to Donna, "Pancho is mine, and no other person on this ranch is going to ride him." Donna Hashed into the patio. "He's not yours. He's no mora yours than mine or Don's ox mother's. You don't own this place and you don't own anything on it, alone. I'll ride Pancho . . . Juliano." she called to the major domo who had appeared as though he'd been waiting for such a call. "I want Pancho saddled and this . . . tins boy won t do It, will you? Juliano gave Constance one triumphant glance as he passed to follow Donna to the stables. It would seem, observed John whimsically, "that vou own only one-fourth of Pancho." Constance looked at him with unseeing eves. In hei mind was a marble shaft, tl. 'tying Heaven, and at the base was cut the phrase: "You win what vou light for." John. I must attend to some business; can you amuse yourself for an hour or so?" She didn't wait tor an answer. She ran through the patio gate and up the hill to come face to face with Pedro. Here was her chance to unburden her heart: her golden opportunity to explain. She looked at his expressionless face and the anger of the morning rolled into a barrier between' them. She hated him. "Your newest victim will meet you at vour rendezvous immedi ately." she informed him. bitterly. Pedro stared at her a moment. then his face became radiant. Ht laughed at her. "Oh, so my devas tating charm still works. Well, be seeing you." And he strode ofl towards his horse. Constance arrived in Peter Taylor's ollice. blinded with an ger. "I'm going to buv Pancho." she Informed him Peter Tavlor shook his head as though to clear lis eves of the shacsv brows which had iutted lorward at the voung tornado. ihounhl vou owned him.' he observed. "Only his tail." said Constance "He's a Cabrillo possession, and I m not a Cabrillo. I haven't even bought a shoe-lace ,-jt of that monev I borrowed on mv soul, and so help me . . Pancho isn't going to be ridden to ribbons if I can help it. How much is he worth?" Peter Tavlor rumbled like an approaching strrm. "You would have to choose the most valuable palim:no on the ranch."hr burst out "Whv must vou buv him?" ll(vau.se. Constance cried, "because . . . rh." ler voice broke. "Damn it.

Sept. 16. iP) Allied surrender of Czecho slovakia to Germany, Novelist Frnest Hemingway observed to day, was "like arming a gang ster with an unlimited supply of tommy guns and saying, 'Here, take these, I know you won't use them.' " The author's theory, advanced in an interview, was that with out the arms obtained from Czechoslovakia's famed muni tions plants, the Nazi war ma chine could never have rumbled so pulvcrizingly across western Europe. In support of his argument, Hemingway cited the compara tively poor showing of German tanks on the testing grounds of the Spanish revolution, of which he was an on-the-spot observer.
