CHAPTER II yHERE was one individual in that noisy playground crowd "who felt something ot this social difference, and who thought about it. That was Parris Mitchell. Parris was, in his own dark way, a thoughtful boy. He was standing a little apart and was dreamily half thinking something of - Miss Venable's thought. Inside they were all well, kind of alike. ' But outside here, everything was different Two or three girls were stand ing near, talking with their heads close together. He wondered why they always acted that way as if they had secrets. Vera Lichin skywas one of them. She caught sight ot him. "You going down to Professor BerdorrTs for your music lesson?" "It's my birthday." "Oh." She looked slightly mys tified. Nothing ever interfered with her violin lessons. -' "I've got a new Bach piece," ' Vera made it sound important "I have a new Bach piece, too." "Is It hard?" Yes. It's in four flats." "Well, I've got to go." She turned with an air of serious de cision. She did not look back. "Hello, Parris." Cassandra Tower hung back from the other girls who were walking away, their heads still close together. ."Hello, Cassie." Cassandra smiled. "I heard you say today's your birthday. How old are you?" "Twelve." "Fm going to hare a party next Saturday." "Are you?" "Yes. I'm going to invite you." "I'd like to come." "All right I'll send yon an in vitation." He walked slowly toward the r f tile which mounted the tall fence surrounding the school grounds. - He did not see a little girl who . through the gap in the boards. 6he was smaller than Parris, and . rather poorly dressed in a faded r: calico dress. She was extremely - blond, and an expression of sweet ' nest- half angelic half sensuous gave her a somewhat enigmatic charm. 1 "Hello, Renee." .' ' They proceeded without further speech along the road toward Par ris' home. Renee lived on the von Eta place. Her father, Sven t Gyllinson, was the overseer of the . nurseries owned by Parris' grand j mother. Renee and Parris had played together since they were Dames. ne was only a tew months younger than Parris, but , she was a grade behind him in school. Seemingly, they took no notice of each other now. When ' he picked up a rock and threw it ; ene inrew one aiso wiin naicu ' lously similar gestures. ' If he swung his book strap from one shoulder to the other, she did, too. Apparently she wished nothing but his company. She was always lagging aiong always naa Deen as long as he could remember. As they neared home Renee (poke. "I'll be glad when school's out won't you? "Uh huh." ; He opened the wicket gate and stood aside for her to pass through. She waved and turned Into a lane that led to the over , steer's cottage. T) ARRIS MITCHELL'S mother had died when he was born, . his father less than a year later. Since then he had been cared for by his maternal grandmother. She adored him, and he adored her. His grandmother, Marie Arnaut von Eln, was wholly French. Her family came originally from Lor raine. She had been twice married, (the second time to a wandering (German aristocrat who had come Ito America to make a fortune. lAfter various enterprises he had (bought lands at Kings Row be cause of some fancied similarity . of the soil to that of his native German province. He built a house of foreign fashion, laid out elaborate grounds, and manufac tured sufficient wine to drink him self to death. Marie von Eln was a resourceful woman. She employed French and German labor and turned the vineyards into a nursery. Kings Row had never known quite what to make of her. She was a "foreigner," but obviously did not fit into the usual categories of what were always derogatorily referred to as "the foreign ele ments." She had the bearing and manner ot an aristocrat, and her sense of humor was of the kind that often made the women of Kings Row uncomfortable. Parris bore a striking blance to her. "Bon solr, grand'mere." He held tier very tight and kissed her four (times on each smooth cheek. He rubbed his face against her hair. :"Ma belle grand'mere!" ' "Mon enfant." She held him off (and put up her lorgnettes. "Tu lea fatigue?" "Mol7 Non. Fas du tout "Are you hungry?" I "Of course." ?v - t i Madame called, "Anna!" A short fat maid appeared so quicKly that one suspected that Ishe had been waiting at the door. After the pie he went directly to his piano practice. The square rosewood piano was old, and the keys were yellow, but it was in good tune. Very slowly, very carefully, counting aloud as he practiced, ha attacked the Bach piece "in four flats." He began again at the beginning for the 10th time when his grandmother came to the door. "What Is this that you play?" "It is an Invention." "Indeed. Is that something im portant?" "Herr Berdorff says so." "It is extremely ugly. It must be frightful to learn such a thing! Come with me it is enough of this this Invention as you call it and it is your birthday. I have a present for you." Parris lay in bed listening to the little sounds of the night He was very happy. It had been a beautiful evening, and his present all those books! His "belle, belle, belle grand'mere!" He had heard Anna say that Madame was growing old. Old! Some day his grandmother would die sooner than other boys' mothers who were much younger. Terror seixed him. He took the edge of the quilt between his teeth so he wouldn't cry, but it was no use he was already crying. No, no, no! Le bon Dieu would never permit that He remem bered once that his grandmother had shrugged her shoulders con temptuously at something Anna said about trusting the good God. Was it was it possible that his grandmother knew something she Bad never told him that perhaps perhaps there wasn't a bon Dieu at all, just as he had found out when he was a very little boy that there was no Santa Clans and no real giants? He turned his face down into the pillow and pulled the cover ing over his head. (To Be Continued) ALL-OUT BY MISTAKE CHILDERSBURG, Ala. (A5) A visitor called at the high school office of A. H. Watwood, and finding him absent from his desk, pushed a button on the wall. Doors down two long halls swung open and children march ed from the 20-room building. The button had signaled a fire drill. mm OUT OUR WAY By J. R.
