CHAPTER vi

Brend SeIcOSS returned from st.
Louis on the sixteenth of the month.
The train arrived in Dallas in the
early morning when the night prairie
wind was still cool, but she spent the
last dollar In her purse to be driven to
Mrs. Wilkes in one of the old city
station hacks.
"Welll" said the round landlady, ex-
ploding the breath from her little
mouth to express establishment, in
quiry and disapproval all at once.
Eyes, l came back" Brena replied,
lifting her suitcase up the steps wear
lily.
Il thought was going to lose all my
nice young people" Mrs. Wilkie said,
turning on the disk record of her false
good nature. Jim Hennepin went
with hardly a thank you. There's been
no end of mail for him. didn't know
where he'd gone; he made such mys-
terry about it, so l sent the letters to
his Office They probably know about
him-more than l do. He didn't tell
you where he went?"
"No," said Brena, "he didn't tell
me-"
And not word from him. Not so
much as picture post card"
Brena was trying to pass around the
bulk of the older woman.
And you went off yourself without
much explanation" Mrs. Wilkie COM
planned, putting herself in the way,
land without knowing whether or not
you was coming back"
She looked all over the girl from
head to foot with an expression In her
beady eyes indicating that it would
have been better If legal guardian
had been appointed for BTena.
well, I'm here"
$50 / see. Have you had break
fast?'
Il don't want any," replied Brena.
She went up to her room under the
roof where, upon the bedspread were
the dust marks made by her suitcase
when she had thrown it up to pack six
days before. She put it back on those
marks as If round of life had been
completed. Then she got up to cross
the room to the picture of the Acropo-
Usher fathers picture, the last pos
session of the family. For a long time,
too, she looked at this engraving in its
travel-battered frame-a relic of De-
metrius Selcoss.
HE said not TO be afraid" she told
herself. HE said something would
come il | were in danger"
Downstairs at about that same mo-
ment Mrs. Wilkie was writing in her
diary. At one time In her life she had
acquired the fancy that the memoirs
of women often We're important-the
original sources of historical facts and
the mirror of society of period
and the diary habit kept its grip upon
her long after she had ceased to say
TO herself, Think what 1t would have
meant If Madame de Maintenon had
kept a diary" Now she wrote in the
same hasty. out-of-breath style with
which she conducted all ife-Ieaving
out pronouns and writing sentences.
Went shopping Saw Bertha. Said
her husbands teeth kept her awake
getting hot water bottle"
She poised her fountain pen and

her mouth over so that it looked like a
newly punctured pink opening. She
liked to live near immortality; 1t gave
her vicarious pleasure. She had a
magazine picture of a certain French
actress tackled up beside her looking
glass; She would have been sorry If
Brena had suffered misfortune from
glad just as one, though sorry to hear
of distant acquaintance dying, has a
thrill of interest in finding a familiar
name in the obituary notices.
Hennepln was whimsical enough to
repeat to Brena, word for word, this
conversation.
They were sitting in the motorcar
looking out over the undulating Texas
prairie. In the hollows the red bud was
in bloom and the air of dusk was like
the light, velvety.
1T never occurred to her that
might love you" he said
Brena said nothing
Don't you love me a little?" he
asked
Il don't know, Jim-really, I don't
know. | don't know what love is. I've
only read about it, and it Is just like
reading about some place you've never
been. / wouldn't know when had ar
rived there and stood on the very
spot"
my Cd, you're like new flower,
opened up for the first time and wet
with dew!'
AS if he could not conceal haste, he
seized her hand and squeezed it until
she said, ooh, Jim'
well, you're fond of me?"
Eyes, l am, Jim. Pm fond of you"
perhaps it's because you have no
one else to be fond of" he suggested.
81 don't know" she told him. Il
don't know yet"
He looked around at the yellow
horizon in the west and shivered.
"We aren't by ourselves" he ex-
claimed with irritation. Not here in
Dallas. We ought to take trip"
"a trip!" said Brena. How could
we take a trip?"
you mean because of money? Well,
I'm going to fix that" He smiled
craftily. i've strangle hold on some
money, Brena. 1 suppose that when
| turn up with some real money peo-
pie will say that / dipped into the till
or had rich uncle die. 1t will be such
a novelty to have a roll. But they'll
be wrong. I'll get it my own way. And
it's coming"
"Oh, JIM"
Money or no money l want you"
he said. "Some day I'll make you say
you love me-"
Brena lay awake under a hot roof
wondering whether she loved Jim Hen
nepin. There was no one to tell her
that she did not
AS the weeks went on she found
herself asking where the end would be
of day after day of showing perfumed
wives of Dallas business men en-
broidered linens at the Porto Rican
store, of walking home, sometimes
with men staring at her, of trying to
find interest in the chocolate fudge
minds of girls who did not like to
have her around because she talked
like professor and wore the beauty
they wished was theirs. 1t was not
clear that Jim was not the one man
of all, the prince who stepped out of
nothing and held out his hands to her
in some kind of miraculous tableau.
No one reminded her that she was only
seventeen: she felt that she was as old

games, etiquette, napkin-rings, the do
nestle lives Of actresses and royalty,
souvenir spoons, picture postal cards,
talking machines, baseball scores, spir-
itualism, and decorated sentiments or
vulgarities framed for the wall, was
an anomaly like planting a peony
among the cabbages.
But Brena, conscious Of this, found
herself wondering whether every hui
man being did not have the feeling
that he or she was a gem in an infe-
rior setting. Her mothers sense of
humor was in her and she saw her
escape not by fluttering at the walls
but by climbing over them. Even at
seventeen, no doubt her face had be-
gun to take on that calm of centuries
with its tenderness and patience and
usefulness and understanding as if
she carried eternal hopes and bore the
sufferlngs of all mankind; it was only
her mothers sense of humor that
thrust its light through this noun
famous and heroic expression. Later
the punctuation of fear, expressed
only through her eyes, had become a
characteristic interruption.
Mrs. Wilkie often mentioned the
journey to ST. Louis. She would have
given Brena a weeks board to know
why the girl had gone, but even Mrs.
Wilkie sensed some quality in this
beautiful child which made her crea-
ture of different species and filled
others with sense of awe from which
only Jim Hennepin had been exempt ;
she never pressed her questions be-
yond a point where she found her
self looking into the wondering, dark
SelcOss eyes. Brena kept her own
knowledge without an effort it was
done with a magnificent restraint and
with the suggestion that she who until
that year had navigated life not at
all would hereafter navigate it for a
long time without another's hand upon
the tiller.
Brena even asked twice whether
Hennepin had written. She chose mo-
ments when the two other women
b0arders and the accountant of the
Southern Pacific were at the table.
"Wrlttenp said Mrs. Wilkie. puck
ering her little mouth as If she were
going to whistle her sentence. writ
ten? Not hel But l might expect
that; have never found that could
expect gratitude-from anybody"
She looked at each face at the table
severely.
"But that's nothing" she added.
His own father, who is dying Of
Bright's, hasn't heard from him-not
for three months.
oh said Brena as If rejecting
and weighing the matter. She left the
table, and going into the front room,
she played in lively time upon the
piano there-a plano with sheeny
red case and with tone intended to
be the startling opposite of the tin-pan
attributes of old pianos. This one had
tones extravagantly round like the
softness Of an eIocutionist reading
poetry. Brena had remembered this
piano and described its affectation 1t
was nothing to her that those who
heard her play on 1t said. "Oh l--She
makes II talk" for they were the same

is urged by an English comrade
in arms, Eyersby Benham, to visit
the Benham home and meet the
Englishman's mother and sister,
and, incidentally, Breua Selcoss,
young woman about whom there
is an air of mystery. Muriel Ben
ham, Eversby's sister, becomes
infatuated with Peter. but he is
interested only in the mysterious
Brena Selcoss, of whom he has
had only glimpse Muriel urges
him to forget her, warning him
that If she (Brenal should like
him he is in danger of vanish
ing-like the others" Peter gets
a phone message from Brena to
meet her. Peter meets Brena in
a tea room and the meeting re-
suits in the formation of a strong
bond of friendship. After few
days companionship the feeling
between Peter and Brena ripens
into love. He asks her to marry

is married and that her husband
has vanished"

MI distinguddo amigo:
/ Leyendo el domingo pasado, cor
el interes de siempre, la ed1cion de
! su interesante peri6dico correspon-
| diente ese dia, me encuentro con
I'm articulo, a manera de informa-
ci6n, sobre La vista publica que an
tie la "Comisi6n de Hacienda" de

lebrara hace POGO en- relaci6n con
Ia nueva Ley de Arbitrios.
Sjendo uno de los interesados di-
rectamente en- esta question, deseo
refGtar brevemente algunos puntos
de dicha information por considerar
los erroneos.
Para empezar tomo la sintesis de
uno de los argumentos expuestos por
ustedes en- forma de sub-tftulo, que
dice asi:
Los fabricantes de cigarrinos
del Pals solicitan que Sc dupii-
quen los impuestos los cigarri-
los americanos".
ESQ es un error. Los fabricantes
de cigarrillos del pals no solicitsn
n1in ca dr,,I;n,,a., foa ;,,,,,,,as%nc q ~,
c1garrillos americanos, como inten-
cionalmente han informado nste-
des. Lo que sohcitsn los fabrican-
tes de cigarrillos del pals es que Sc
establezca TN impuesto diferencial
(ad valorem) para los cigarrillos
DE TODA PRoCEDENCIA, en- vir-
tud del cual paguen mayor impuesto
los cigarrillos de clases finas que los
de classes baratas.
De igual manera que hay estable-
cido un impuesto diferencial para
los cigarros como consecuencia del
cual aquellos cuyo precio al detail
es de 10 Ctvs. mas, pagan un i'm
puesto de $1,000 por millar; pagan
& dolares Ell millar los que Sc ven
den menos de 10 centavos $50
poI millar los que Sc detallan a 3
centavos menos, creemos justo y
equitativo que un impuesto esca-
lonado Sc establezca para los ciga-
lrillos hacienda tributar en- mayor
escala los de clases finas que SO
venden mayor precio.
/ No es l6gico que cigarrillos que
Sc detallan a Is Y a 20 centavos Ell
panuete de 20 cigarrillos paguen el
:nismo impuesto que los que Sc deta-
Han 10 centavos ell paquete de 30
cigarrillos.
Como en- ambas categorias estan
comprendidos indistintamente cl-
! garriilos producidos en- Puerto Rico
y cigarrillos importados, es necesa-
riamente imprescindible para entrar
