Another was a full-length por-
trait in oils the first Larry Keith

picture of a slim girl in ruffled
white organdie, held the place of
honor over the fireplace. Sylvia,
laughing out from under the wide,
dropping brim of a hat Wreathed
in pink roses. Sylvia, gloriously
blonde, frailly feminine, frankly
frivolous above that sturdy pion-
eer motto "Fortitude in Distress. "
The incongruity of that juXta-
position had struck Denny the
first time she saw it. She had
laughed and planned to write
Murray about it. He would appre-
ciate the humor of it as she did.
Then Harp had told her about
long, lonely winter evenings when
Larry Keith used to lie on one
Of the couches, listening to radio
music from San Francisco, while
he looked up at Sylvia's picture.
The foreman explained, "Of
course, he never told me what he

thick and the pale-brOWn color of
pine needles bleaChed by weather,

Keith: so had the hangingS at the
doors and the low, wide windows,
and the upholstery on the deep
soft chairs. These were old ivory
with a design in green's, browns,
and rusty apricot, depicting fur
brigade of canoes sweeping down
a river.
Bookcases lined the lower half
of the walls, and there were brass
candleSticks and the glow of cop
per bowls holding branches of
wild crabapple. Two COuches faced
each other before the huge fire
place raised two feet from the
floor. The mantle had a carved
design in maple leaves and a
motto, "Fortitude in Distress" An
old piano of CircaSSian walnut
added to the beauty of the room.
There were only three pictures
in the room. One, an enlargement
of a snapshot showing Denny at
the age Of five, a pup in her arms
and one pantie leg hanging down.

| structure that was to be the nu-
cleus of his business the coming
year.
Though he concealed it fairly
well. Denny felt his growing eag-
erness to get possession OF the
Keith holdings on the Stlkme.
With feminine perversity. tinged
with a certain teasing humor, she
delighted in being indefinite with
him. Now. instead of truthfully
saving that she was enjoying Tar
nigan so fully because she knew
she would soon be leaving it, she
replied gaily, Il believe am 60
ING native. Perhaps when you
come back next year, you'll find
me dreaming in the sun like little
Willow Haskell over there. with
a tilt of her head, she indicated a
slim Indian girl whose head ker-
chief made a scarlet blob on the
bank near Pages river boat which
they were passing.
AT the moment. her horse moved
on ahead of her companions and
she missed the diSpleaSure in
Pages glance that swept, then
studiouSly ignored the small, wait
inc figure seated on the grass.
Denny's eyes were on the Keith
compound which lay just ahead.
The sight of the great log ware
house under the cottonwoodS and
the activity inside the enclosure
gave her a thrill of possession.
Saddle and pack horses were
being groomed for the use OF the
hunters animals sleek and Splr-
tied from a summers freedom on
meadows lush with blue-Stem.
From one side of the compound
tagged path mounted the
slope to the high terrace where
River House stood. Honey-jo was
waving a tea towel from the kitch-
en- window. her head pale gold in
the sun. Denny answered with a
gesture of her riding crop. She had
already grown fond of the blunt,
profane. warm hearted houSekeep-
er. and she no longer resented be-
ing treated as the beloved daugh-
ter of Larry Keith-come home.
She found that she actually did
feel at home in this wilderness
place so different from anything
she had hitherto known.
As her horse. Holiday, walked
TO the hitching rail alongside the
open door of the warehouse, ev-
cry Indian in the yard came to
greet her and help her dismount.
She felt a glow of pleasure, an
odd content. and wished that Muir

place. money was worthless for
that purpose He might find only
boredom here where each individ-
ual provided his own amusements.
Murray slipped from her
thoughts as she turned to speak a
word or two to each of the wait
ing Indians. She noticed that Page
had handed his horse over with
out even a glance at the man who
took it.
Il say. Denise, let's go inside
I'd like to see how the outfits are

Denny wondered if she only

I outfit sat Rio Carew in a white
silk shirt and jodhpurS. Her rec
curls were bound with a jade
green scarf. She was Watchlng
Derek Haskell as he moved about
checking lists. AS she watched, hel
thumb kept slowly circllng the
ball of her forefinger.
While she had been waiting IN
Tarnigan for the season to open
Rio had furnished the village With
much food for gossip. Her langulo
airs were ridiculed by the native
girls. During the first week of her
stay she had walked out each day
dressed as for a promenade at a
fashionable resort, her dog BruS-
sells ON a leash. But Brussels had
each time broken from her and
made an exuberant attack on the
Indian sled dogs chained in sum-
mer idleness along the river bank.
After the first encounter, his ears
were in Shreds, his nose mass OF
wounds. She had sent him down
on the next steamer to board with
the marshal at Wrangell until she
left the country.
Denny had made a great effort
to be agreeable to Rio, who Occu-
pied one of the small guest suites
River House maintained for hunt
ers, but the older Woman'S mixture
of affectation and suspicious re-
serve had kept her from feeling
any real friendlineSS for Rio.
After Denny and Page left the
warehouse, they crossed the COM
pound to the foot of the tagged
path that ascended to River
House. She paused there. I'm 60
ing to leave you here, Jack" she
said. Il must finish my letters for
the outgoing mail"
To that lucky chap down in
San Francisco, suppose"
She nodded, her mind going
ahead to the arrival of the week
ly mail tomorrow. Letters from
home: from Murray. She wonder
ed what he was doing and if he
missed her.
Denny assembled the path lead
ing upward through the wild gar
den of juniper. briar roses, little
clusters of birch. Had she looked
back, she would have seen Page
pause on his way to the Taku
Wind, to speak to the Indian girl,
Willow. The girl came to her feet
and stood laughing up at him like
an impudent child. He geStured
peremptorily. Finally. with a pc
tulant shake of her small body,
she pigeon-toed off toward her
mothers cabin on the bank of
Tarnigan creek.
Denny gained the top Of the ter
race where the tagged pergola
jutted out from the side Of River
House. A massive oak door, made
in two sections, led directly into
the living room. The upper half
was open. letting in a flood OF
sunshine as Denny went through.
The huge room was full Of the
clean smell of river wind and trees.
Now, as always, she was conscious
OF the atmosphere of content, pro-
lection that abided there; con-
Scious also of a material sense Of
satisfaction that came from the
mellowed harmony of wide spaces.
Harp had told her that the
room had not been changed since
the first year of her parents mar
riage, when Larry Keith had re-
decorated it for Sylvia In it were
none of the mounted heads and
grinning bear rugs usual in living
rooms of the hunting country:
those trophies had been placed IN
the card room where the hunters
gathered to smoke and talk over
their kills.

home from her London triumph
to entertain the home folks in

can comedy, based on the POST

and Norma Mitchell, beginning
her engagement at the National
Theater Monday, October 25.
For three years she has been
an outstanding London favorite
and star of the Theater Royal,

miere will be in the nature OF
a homecoming" in which Miss
Greenwood will add to the fes-
tive occasion by offering a mu-

ance, and a gesture Of apprecla-
ton to local theatergoers who
will greet her on the first night.
In Leaning on Lefty" Miss
Greenwood is said to prove her
self one of the foremost come

artistry in this new style of play

Those among you who have

of drama really owe it to your
selves to stop in at Warner

grand work of Paul Muoi in the

"The Life of Emile zola,"

there are moments Of such
poignant beauty, such utter
tragedy, such subtle touches OF
comedy as to lend credence to
the statement that here Is one
of Hollywood's finest.
The courtroom scene remains
an outstanding picture Of a far
cical routine of law procedure;
Zola's denunciation of the ma
chinery of war made in the
office of Clemenceau'S news

you will find.

A WAR SPY STORY
This is a fat part for Actor
Sanders, who made his screen
debut insofar as this Friday re-
viewer is concerned. He plays a
dual role, does it so impressively
it is matter of regret for ex-

Lancer Spy" concerns the
effort of the British Intelli-
gence Service to find out what
the German high command is
planning, through high pressure
espionage.

ceeds, is reunited with his fam

Director Ratoff should have
fought harder for a better script.
This one is a bungling piece of
story telling, hard to follow in
the early sequences, full Of in
credibilities and many unde-
veloped incidents. Before the
story catches hold it has lost
interest for many.
