A heavy perfuma drenched tbe night air; I perfume made of green things rowing, of fruit orchards, wild lowers and tbe moist fragrance ot newly turned earth. Though the SIddal farm was but Ave miles from Lebanon on the main road. Bill bad chosen a longer, more cir oultous route. The car was a battered one, bad' ly In need of paint, but Donna, her hat In her lap, rested her head gainst the faded felt upholstery and drank Is the night air with keen enjoyment That's tbe Trager place." Bill said. "Do yon remember tbe Tra- gersf Jim was at school wltb me." - And a little later Donna murmured. I'm glad there's a late train Mon day. One ot tbe girls Is going to ride In my place In tbe parade." We might hare asked your - partner to com" along," Bill eng. . gested. "I dldnt think of It Did ahe think It was strange to dldnt ask herr Donna felt a queer little stab In her heart "She almost did come. she said slowly, recalling tbe scene In the dressing room wben Made line, with a sudden change ot mind, had decided that Bill SIddal looked Interesting enough to risk a Ttslt home. But for Con David's jealousy Donna might have remained wltb the circus and Madeline gone to the farm. However, Con had ap peared and to pique Donna (at least ha had hoped to do so) had Invited Madeline to have supper with him and Madeline bad ac cepted the Invitation. Tour grandfather may be In bed," Bill said as he turned the car Into a road only a little wider than a cowpath. "If be Is, we . wont wake Mm. He's mighty feeble these days and needs all the aleep he can get Your coming will be a red-letter day In bis Ufa Ton aon . snow now mucn he cares about you." n CHE had a sudden Impulse to tell htm the truth then, an Im pulse sbe crushed instantly for tbe headlights ot tbe car brought Into stark outline the narrow, austere, brick building which was the Sid dal farmhouse. "There's Grandpop," said BIIL "1 reckon the excitement ot seeing you again kept him awake." He called, "Hello there!" and the old man waved bis hand, i Before the car came to a stop at the front porch Donna had an opportunity to look at her host He was tall and very erect His snow white hair curled slightly and touched the collar of tbe dressing gown that elnng to his gaunt fig ure. "Did Madeline come?" the old man asked as Bill sprinted up the .three steps to his side. "Here sbe Is!" Bill beckoned to Donna who was lust behind him. 'Grandfather," she whispered huskily. "Grandfather." Groping gnarled hands reached for her; old arms enfolded her. Maddie, my little Maddie. The glrl pressed her face against his ishoulder, hoping he would not no Itice how fast her heart was beat lng. "I've wasted you for such a long time and now I can't even see you." "I know," she choked, tears In her throat "Bill told me you are ibllnd. Oh, I'm so sorry, so sorry!" "That's all right Maddie," be an jiwered, patting ber curls with trembling, affectionate Sngera "I'm fold and affliction doesn't matter jBO much to an old feller. Only ll've missed yon and wanted you. iBut there, there! We're not going to be sad for the little time you are here. There must be a heap you've got to tell me and a heap more I want to know. Come in side, Mrs. Planter laid out some supper for you." In books Donna had read ot lust snch a room quaint homely In artistic, :ut containing something between the four walls that be had longed for all her life. There were rocking cbalrs with lace squares on their backs, a "whatnot" in the corner with china bric-a-brac on Its na felt the antagonism of tbe wom an. Though Mrs. Planter's thin lips parted In a smile, though the oitended her hand In cordial greet ing, her pale eyes between white lashes Informed Donna sbe was not welcome. "1 reckon you find your grandpa changed a lot" she said. "He's been falling fast this past year. And you've changed too. Yes, you've changed. I wouldn't have knowed you." "Five years make changes In ev ery one," Donna answered bravely. "You oughta be In bed. Amos," rasped Mrs. Plautur. Meuun uuug folks can miss their rest and not feel It but you 11 be sick tomor row It you stay up any longer." Obediently Grandfather rose. "Emmie Is right You eat your supper, Maddie, and go to bed so's you can get up bright and early. BUI wtll show you your room." He kissed ber forehead and then per mitted the housekeeper to lead him out of the room. There was. a taut silence when Bill and Donna found themselves alone once more. Then he coughed and crossed to the door. "I'll put the car away," he said abruptly. Impulsively she exclaimed. "How sweet he Is!" "He's always been the salt ot the aarth." Bill answered coldly. "How -on could have picked up and run iway Is more than I've ever been able to fathom. It puzzles me more since I've met you." BUI looked at her and the ateady gaze ot his candid gray eyes said more than words. Then he left the room. Five minutes later when be returnei sbe was sitting at tbe table but she had not touched the food. "I'U show you to your room,' he said. a SkVER a bowl ot chiU con earns Madeline winked at Con David, with no thoughts for her partner nor her aged relative. Con's band some face held no answering smile. Already he regretted tbe invitation prompted by his lealousy. Made line might be as pretty and attrac tive as Donna but sbe bored him. "Snap out of It Con." sbe said "It's not very complimentary to have you sitting there so gloomy You ought to know anyway that you dont stand ace high with Donna." "How do yon know 1 don'tT" "She's told me. She wouldn't marry a performer no matter bow much she loved him." "Shell marry me." Madeline laughed sharply. "Say you! No, she wont She's crazy tor a home and children. It wouldn't surprise me If she and BIU SIddal made a go ot It" "Yon said he was her cousin. Cousins cant marry." ! Madeline's eyes bait-closed. "Dont believe everything you're told. Con. 1 bad to protect ber dldnt ir He 'Sprang to his feet "Then sbe didn't go to her grandfatber'sr "Of course not" Sudden fear that she had Implied too much made Madeline add, "For heaven's sake, don't spread it! You know Renfroe and if he found out about It he might fire us both." "Listen. Con!" she said tensely wben they were on the street "You misunderstood me. You've got to give me your word to keep this un der your hat but Donna isn't my sister and the man she went to visit Is my grandfather, not hers Sbe did go out to the farm and "I dont give a hang what she did or where she went!" the train- answered morosely. "There's going to be a show-down Monday She'U either marry me then or" "Or?" breathlessly. "Ill marry the first woman who'll have me." (To Be Continued) shelves, a reading lamp beside a stand holding a huge family Bi ble On tbe big centor table a vase of nurple and white lilacs stood and beneath a napkin tbe supper was laid out Donna's glance rest ed upon an enlarged photograph on tbe wall, tbe picture of a small girl . wltb long, fair, curling hair and wide, questioning eyes. Madeline, of course. - ' ; "It doesn't look much like you now." BUI said. a a npHB old man's faltering steps led 1 him to tbe chair beside tbe Bi ble. "Maybe you dont hold wltb prayer now Maddie," be said, "but I want to tbank God that He sent rou to ms before tbe call came." "Ob Grandfather!" she cried She Iropped on ber knees beside him, feeling suddenly that tbls was her home, this old man, whuse feet touched the precipice ol death, was her relative, "Oh, Grandfather!" In the midst ot tbe simple prayer door opened and the housekeeper, Mrs. Planter, came Into the room. Instaatly the ejU vanished. Don- Carnera-Baer Receipts Near Half Million NEW YORK. June 15.
