Katherine had tried to write, and,

Because I want more than
that" His voice was tense. "And
I am going to have it, Mimi. You
can't get away from me. You are
mine"
I was listening now with all my
ears. wanted to know what Mimi
would say to this autocrat who
claimed her. I played eavesdrop-
per unashamed.
For a long time she said moth
ing, and Andy drove as if thou
sand devils were pursuing. I be-
gan to realize what Bernice had
meant. Yet always, in spite of his
wild speed, he seemed to have the
car under control.
Then Mimi said, '"That isn't the
way to make me care-to act like
a Turk and a tyrant."

"Oh, well, perhaps. Everybody
says it would be the ideal thing"

The Bradleys' house was more
like country club than a private
residence. It was part Of a fash

furnished with a sunptuousness
that seemed out Of place in the
heart Of those wild mountains.
Yet it was lovely, none the less

CHAPTER IA

THERE WE'RE 10 guests be-
sides Lionel and me. With our
hostess, we made 13 at the table.
Bernice was much disturbed.
Something will happen to some Of
us. you see if it doesn't! And it
will probably be Mimi. She can't
miss it, with her peacock featners
and 10 at table. She laughs at me
when I say such things, but look
at the awful luck she's had with
her grandfather dying-and all
that"
She caught herself up as Olga
turned a little toward us, ana
changed the ending of her speech
skillfully.
"Well, thank heaven, there won't
be 13 of us in the cars. Andy
Fuller will drive six, and Drake
four, and the rest will go in Scott
Selden's car. I am going with
Scott. Far be it from me to ride
behind Andy when he's got Mimi
on the front seat!"
Remembering the episode of the
afternoon, it seemed to me sur
prising that Mimi should ride with
Andy. But she did, wrapped in a
wonderful cloak with a fur collar
which came up to her eyebrows.
It was just as she was stepping
into the car that she turned and
saw me.
aren't you going to ride with
u.s." she asked. We've plenty of
room for him, haven't we, Andy?"
Andy nodded, and before I knew
it was sitting on one of the small
folding seats in Andy's seven-pas-
senger car, with two pretty girls
the Ammidon twins-in the ton
neau, and a stocky little youth,
Girard Sylvester, on the other
small seat.
I was just behind Mimi, so near
that by leaning forward a little in
the dark could touch my cheek
to the fur of her collar. I could
hear her low laugh-the things
she said to Andy.
II haven't forgiven you, Andy,
fioated back to me, "but I'd rather
have you drive me than Drake or
Scott Seldom"
"Thank you. Bernice says she
wouldn't trust me when I've got
you beside me"
"I would trust you, always
a driver"
I felt that I ought not listen.
that ought to talk to the Amni-
don twins. But they seemed alb
sorbed. in the little Sylvester chap.
So once more Minis words hoated
back. 2,hE
" IT do like you, Andy. And the
things you do for me are-wonder-
full. But I won't stand being
bossed. i never have been. j
never will be-"
."That's why love you."
Again, in desperation, I turned
to the twins and spoke of the
beauty of the moon.
But they cared nothing about
the moon. Sylvester had left his
seat and was sitting between them
and they were apparently en-
tranced by some story he was tell
ing. They lent unwilling ears tc
my remarks, so I gave up in de.
spair.
Mimi was saying, "But wher
you do things as you did this
afternoorl-trying to make love t.
me, when you know how I hate
it."
The world was, all at once
flooded with light. So this was
why she had thrown her hat al
him why she had cried.

postulated.

wished desperately that some
one would come and talk to me,
so that Mimi would not see me
standing there alone.
It was Olga who took me final
ly under her wing. She approached
me in her slow way, waving q
great feather fan. She was very
gorgeous in spangled silver and,
must admit, very beautiful.
"You won't mind" she said, "if
I put you next to me at dinner?
The last arrival always gets the
seat of honor. But I know you
men would rather be between two
pretty girls"
IT wouldn't" I said honestly.

laughed together.

think that her real reason for in
viting the young crowd was that
she could get on with them better
than with their elders, and she felt
that friendship with them might
be an entering wedge.
Bernice was on the other side
of me at dinner. Mimi was across
the table, with Andy Fuller next
to her. AS the meal progressed I
saw them talking earnestly.
Bernice saw them, too. "He is
apologizing to Mimi" she said, che
is always doing it,
"And-does she forgive him."
Bernice shrugged her slender
shoulders. It was gesture had
noted among the girls of the
crowd. It was, indeed, subtle re-
minder of their French ancestry
that, and the darkness Of their
eyes.
But Minis beauty was quite
gloriously Irish, by way of, I found,

Her cheeks at that moment were
flaming, and under the lights her
hair famed.
do you wonder that Andy is
crazy about her?" Bernice was
saying in my ear.
I did not wonder that anybody
was crazy about her. wished
that Bernice would not talk to me.
I wanted just to sit and feast my
eyes on Mimi.
Then Lionel's voice broke in.
''They are asking me to read our
play, Jerry. And read like a
fish; so I've told them you'll do it,"
It seemed to me that perfect
battery of eyes were turned on me,
but managed to say, 1--WE can't
read the whole Of it; it isn't fin
ished."
IT know, but we've got the out
line, and the big third act is all
written. We can try it on these
helpless infants when we come
home from the Bradleys'. If they

Across the years came the echo
of Uncle Jerry's voice, IF you
want to win a woman, make you're

me then as a rather attractive
theory; it was hateful to me now.
.She seems very young" I said,

her debut she's not likely to find
anyone with more money than

I wanted to flare into a denun-

to tell him that girl like Mimi
LIE Brun, a little lovely thing like
Mimi, would not give herself to
any man until she found her mate;
that she would not give herself to

too Young now to know what love
really meant. But when she was
taught
I had the sense, however, to hold
my tongue. Lionel would laugh at
my rhapsodies. He wouldn't un-
derstand, and he would find out
how T felt about Mimi. I couldn't
risk that. No one must find out;

When we were dressed, we went
into the great living room where
most of Olga's guests were assem-
bled. 1 saw Andy Fuller, tower

inches with my own, and l had
more than his breadth OF shoulder.
I had, too, enough boyish vanity
to believe that I could match him
in looks. Lionel had slapped me
on the shoulder as we left our
rooms, saying:
you're stunning in those
clothes, Jerry. Don't let anybody
put things over on you"

confessed to him a certain shy.
ness I had felt in accepting Olga's
invitation. I'm not like your
friends, Lion"
"You don't have to be-" he told
me. "Just keep a stiff upper lip
and don't let them see that you
feel the difference"
Yet I did feel the difference,
none the less, and stood a little on
the outside of the group Of young
people, seeing Bernice in the midst
of them locking like bit Of flame
in her amber satin gown as the
light of the fire shown on her.
Mimi was not there when I first
came in, but presently I saw her
approaching through the door of
the living room which led to what
Lionel called "the harem". Olga
had given the men one wing of the
house and the women the other.
Her own suite separated the two.
I was surprised that there were no
older people to keep the Ogre COM
pany. I was to learn the reason
later.
Mimi in the doorway was not
the Mimi Of the afternoon. She
seemed to have grown up in a mo-
ment. She wore a trailing dress
Of a deep sl1immering blue, and on
a thin chain around her neck was
a pendant-an old French jewel set
with emeralds and sapphires and
opals. She told me afterward that
this pendant was the last thing
her grandfather had given her. It
was now her only ornament. Her
FURNISHED hair was dressed high
on her head, and this, too, gave
her a grown-up air.
From the moment OF her en-
trance she was the center Of
things. I did not see her speak to

ed nuisance taxes those on movies,
cosmetics and the like, the Senate
heard an agriculture committeeman
say the pending farm bill was consti-
tutional.
The bill, Senator Pope, Democrat,
Idaho, asserted was based on the
CONSTITUTIONS interstate commerce
clause rather than on the general well
fare provision that was the basis of
the invalidated AAA.
The House Agriculture Committee,
meanwhile, completed drafting its crop
control bill, companion to the Senate
farm measure.
Converting of the House itself was
marked by delaying tactics on the
part of opponents of the wages and
hours bill.
