, i- CHAPTER IX
THS Curt house was on fashion
'; . able Green street massive,
Jvy-hung (tone mansion let In
the midst of beautifully kept
lawns. Diana knew that people
who lived in Green street had
lived there all their Uvea. No
mushroom development, this, but
sturdy, steady growing with the
town Itself, Stephen Curt had
never lived anywhere else. See
ing his home, Diana learned more
fa a moment about the man than
had been possible in all their pre
vious short acquaintance. She felt
mora of a stranger, an outsider,
than ever before in her life. She
thought of the simple dining
itting room at the farm and of
Stephen's easy acceptance of their
ways. She'd be equally adaptable
tr. his home. She resolved It
fiercely. .
, : Stephen Introduced her to Lar
km. the butler, just inside the
greet entrance halL Lartdn was
Id and dignified and looked at
Stephen with adoration. He led
(hem into the library where
warmth from a log fire penetrated:
- to 'the far comers of the big, book
lined room. As they crossed the
bail Diana glimpsed the elegance
ef the drawing room white
grand piano, a blue brocaded sofa,
aoft, thick taupe carpeting, an
Adam fireplace and glittering
chandeliers.
' A girl was standing by the fire
place in the library. A slender,
intense-looking, dark-haired girl.
As - little like Stephen as could
possibly be Imagined. Tet he said,
Diana, I want you to meet my
Water, Adda. She knows all about
suff er arrangement and she's
Try grateful to you for helping
' na out .
'Diana held out her hand, felt
the strong, daw-like grasp of the
girl, looked into durk, hostile
. eyes, a resentful gypsy face. A
'thin,: discontented face it was,
jwifh a petulant expression about
tthe' lips, Adela was dressed in
jth'e height of fashion, but with
an appalling lack of taste, in
, clothes which did absolutely noth
ing . for her vivid personality.
Diana sensed that Stephen was a
little, nervous, that he was being
. Very careful in giving Adela her
cue as to how she was to accept
her new sister-in-law. She saw
white teeth flash in a cruel, red
tBOUfh. The voice was too sweet,
too friendly.
"Welcome to the ancestral man
sion,'' Adela said in her peculiar,
ihigh, mocking voice. "I do bpe
jyouH be able to stick it until
you've earned your money!"
r. Stephen flushed darkly, an
grily. but Diana said quickly, T
always try to be efficient In any
f my Jobs."
' The eyes of the two girls flashed
land held and after a moment
lAdela's fell.
e e e
iT ATER Stephen led Diana to
the great carved stairway
wnere roeaa, wno was to be her
al maid, waited to show her
to her room. Stephen said, his
id en her arm, "Please don't
A Adela. She's youn and:
illed. She's. had her own way
long." '
'"And may continue to have It
for all of me," Diana said crisply,
then felt sorry for him. She
rmfled briefly. "Don't worry about
me. IH get along. Remember, I
have red hair."
I He stood there watching until
Ishe disappeared with Frieda in
the upper hallway.
l "111 have to be clever to stand
up to that girl," Diana was think
ing. "She knows so much more
than I do about this sort of life.
Shell humiliate me if she can.
She's-taken a dislike to me. I
must be very clever."
Jrleda led her into a wide,
beautiful room done In blue and
silver. A matching bath could be
seen -through a connecting door.
"This will be really mine for a
few . months," Diana thought,
thrilled as any girl would be at
iso much beauty and luxury. The
picture of the only two other
rooms she had had came Into mind
the cold upstairs room at the
farm,, and the bare little cubicle
t her recent boarding house. She
ran gratefully to the bright fire
sparkling on the hearth.
' After a moment she turned im
pulsively to Frieda, a middle
aged, kind-faced woman, and held
ut her hand. "Can't we be
friends?", she asked in her quick,
impulsive way. "I don't know

much about life as the Curts live
jit I'm sure you must have been
here a long time. I'm going to
need a lot of help and if you'll
be on my side, I'm sure I'll get
along."
FRIEDA opened her eyes widely
and looked into the flushed,
beautiful face. The news that the
young master was bringing home
a bride had excited the servants
greatly, and Frieda knew that she
was being envied this first inti
mate view of the new Mrs. Curt.
But she had not expected such
open overtures of friendship. She
smiled delightedly and her hand
clasp was firm and reassuring.
"You may count on me at any
time, Mrs. Curt," she said, pleased
and friendly.
"One up on Adela!" Diana
was thinking triumphantly.
"Frieda will tell me what to do."
And the serving woman had been
the first to call her by her new
name. Mrs. Stephen Curt!
Now Frieda walked to the
dressing table, took up a slender
jeweler's box, handed it to Diana.
"Mr. Stephen asked me to see
you got this," she said, smiling.
Diana's fingers lifted the clasp.
A glittering diamond bracelet met
her eyes and on Stephen's card
was written, "From tne very
grateful groom on your wedding
day." Stephen had forgotten
flowers, but he had remembered
in a more substantial way.
It was the most beautiful thing
she had ever seen. Diana lifted
it, her eyes filling with quick, ap
preciative tears. He'd wanted to
do something kind, to make her
feel his concern for her the mo

heart lifted. She would make her
elf happy and gay and contented.
She'd never let Stephen Curt :
gret his bargain.
Which reminded her of Phil
Bruce and Stephen'a words con
cerning him. She found that she
was still clasping the foolish little
valentine bouquet, and opening
one of the dresser drawers, she
laid it very carefully inside.

Eleven years ago Mel Ander
son of Glendale, Calif., built tiny
motors as a hobby. Now he turns
out thousands for model planes
and cars. He has built 30,000
single-cylinder engines which go
7S00 to 15,000 r.p.m.
Dave Bottrill of Montreal has
patented a novel rail way -mount-
ed landing platform. As it buzzes
along at 100 miles per hour, ul
trafast planes may three-point on
it easier than on "still" ground.
