the things are true, too"

since you say you won't marry my
son, will you kindly return to American"
Cyril spoke quickly. How dare
you take such responsibility. father"
He knew he was outraging his fathers
sense of decorum. but even that
didn't matter. This was beyond the
pale of relationship. This was man to
man! You heard her say that she
wouldn't marry me because of our
prejudice against her country. You
bred that prejudice in me! And yet

Sir John looked dumbfounded by
this second avalanche of words from
his habitually reticent son. But at
least his eyes were no longer cold. as
Hope said slowly, her voice now low
and rich, Il have the queerest feeling
that Grimspound is listening to Cyril

She looked from father to son. then
back to Sir John. you see," she ex-

sensitive about your attitude toward
me is because care SO much about all

Dartmoor in wide sweep of her arm.
IT'S mine, you know, because my
people we're here before the Doomsday
book was written. and so it hurts to
be treated as an alien. And I loathe
your stupidity about us and our silly
slang. As if the English language
wasn't safe in our hands, Why, there
are one hundred and twenty millions of
us who've inherited Shakespeare and
Wordsworth and Milton, and all the
fine ideals of America are expressed
and preserved in the tongue those
men used, And our ideals are fine, Sir
John. for they lighted in England
when her heart was burning with big
dreams and for more than three
hundred years. we've carried that
torch. When you ignore this and sneer
at us, you're belittling your own"
There was a moments silence. But
Hope was not quite through. "You

THIS WEEK

Sir John was in his late forties, but
his hair was still thick and fair, and his
eyes looked young, though he eyed
Hope coldly.

Before Cyril could introduce her,

voice. II am Hope Atwell, Sir John.

you that you are wise not to consent

Cyrirs voice was as cold as his
fathers. "I'll marry Hope if she'll
have me or no other woman - ever"
"You silly young ass" shouted Sir
John. What do you know about
women or marriage? And you have
neither mother nor sisters. Ten years
from now. you'll thank me-
Il know this" returned Cyril with
a violence which made his fathers
jaw drop, Il know that age has
nothing to do with what | feel for
Hope. I'm in touch with Il mean
I've laid hold of something eternal;
that always was, like honor or truth
or holiness. And I've made the con-

verse. And it's universe that had

I've never gone against you. Sir, in
my life until now. But you must keep

For a second Sir John continued to
stare as if he'd discovered that his
only son was a nadman. Then he
turned to Hope. but she seemed un-
aware of his existence. Her eyes were
on Cyril's When the older man spoke,

Cyril said about his feeling for me is
true OF my feeling for him. How could
| dream he'd understand so we'll? OF
course I'll marry him.
Cyril gave a tumultuous sigh.
Sir John groaned. There was
another long pause in which the older
man obviously struggled to interpret,
justly, the madness of the two who
eyed him SO eagerly. And slowly. a
new expression dawned on Sir Johns
face. There was in it perplexity,
amusement, compassion and visit 4
fulneSs.

Hope.

gentle. 81 suppose I've been unfair -
about many things. But at least I'll
not spoil something which in spite
of my supposed senility. I perceive to
be very beautiful! Cyril, bring Hope
home to supper. Well make plans.
You'll not find me too unreasonable"
He smiled at Hope and strode off into
the fog.
Cyril 'leaped over the steaming
kettle and engulfed Hope in mighty
embrace. 1t was as if she had always
been in his arms, as if she never,
since time began, had belonged any
where else. And then he kissed her.
And nothing else mattered. Sir John,
Grimspound. England. America ceased
to exist.

They glanced down.
Strutting waveringly yet swagger-
ingly between them marched dust
streaked collie, from whose head a
scalp wound still exuded few drops of
blood. From his collar swung the
badge of the Post and the three

stared down at Anti in slack -jawed un-

Anti had no way of telling them the

he had come to his senses on the

that he had caught the scent of their
footsteps and that he had been guided
by the direction of the music - that
he had cantered dizzily after them,
feeling more like himself at every
