She shook her head. "I'd rather
talk. There are some questions I'd
like to ask YOU"
Julian's expression grew sud
denly guarded, but he said, go
ahead. I'll answer"
Noel drew a quick breath and
plunged. II want to know why
you dislike me? Why you refused
my invitation to dinner?"
His eyes widened. rDon,t you
know it's only a defense ,mechan-
ism?" There was a teasing smile
in his eyes.
THAT isn't the reason" she con-
tended.
He met her eyes seriously this
time. mo, it isn't. The truth is,
I haven't the slightest intention of
letting myself fall in love with
YOU"
Noel's heart was suddenly throb-
bling high in her throat. would
that be such-a dreadful thing to
happen ?" she tried to ask lightly.
For me, yes" His voice had a
dreadful note of finality.
please tell me Why"
1.-THE answer should be obvious"
he began slowly. 1--WE met purely
| by accident. Just because a friend
of mine who happened to be "a
friend of yours insisted that at
tend one of her parties, which ordi-
narily abhor. This one was diff
ferent, of course" he went~on with
smile, because I met you. But
that doesn't alter the fact that we
belong in different worlds" His
dark eyes rested upon her unhap-
PLY as he went on. "You play and
I work. Marriages between people
as different as you and nearly
always end in divorce. That's a
risk I can't afford to take"
Noel turned pale, and then q
flush swept her face. "You think
because I've always lived to please
myself that I'm a sort of selfish
parasite. That I've never developed
stamina. That if the slightest
thing went wrong with my mar
.riage, that I'd fly off to Reno?"
tits only that you've never had
to compromise, o1 struggle for
anything" Julian said gently.
There's no reason why you
should"
II think there u.s." Noel said
gravely, and then added, II think
also that I can prove you're
wrong"

Probably both," Noel rejoined
"You're q rather irresponsible

Julian Paige"
Julian did not answer for a mo-
ment, but sat there looking about
the long, comfortable room, the
handsome rugs, the grand piano
holding an immense brass jar OF
yellow roses, the brocade chairs
the white marble nantel over
which there was large oil paint

strong, shrewd features.

When he had disappeared, Julian's
eyes met Noel's. "And you are a
devastatingly lovely young woman,
Miss Noel Shayne."
us that what you're holding
against me?" she asked with a
teasing smile.
do you think any man could
hold anything against you?" he
countered, his eyes taking in ad-
miringly the eager vivacity of her
young face, the cleaning ivory OF
her shoulders, the little rounded
chin with it's dimple and tiny hint
of stubborness.
She bore his admiring gaze with
a faint smile. Perhaps you don't
care for my type?"
His eyes turned to the Corot.
"Quite the contrary. admire a
girl like you, much as one admires
a painting like that, always lovely
and inspiring in-in the proper
setting"
'But only in the proper set

discussion Of the recent troubles
and sorrows. It wouldn't do any
good to remind each other again
and again that two Of the border
patrol officers and five of the
smugglers had been killed.
After noon each of them had q
prescribed rest, and toward 4 p. m.
Bill came to her front porch on a
horse. It was the first time he
had been mounted since the battle,
but he said he felt grand. He led
Ellen's Pintado and, delighted, she
mounted also.
Lets just drift around the cliff,
and up there where we can watch
old sol go down. suggested he.
"All right, Bill. I'm so happy to
see you in the saddle again!"
He thought, then, that he had
never seen her smile so beautiful
ly. And for that matter. probably
he never had. She wore the dark
blue jodhpurs and the Indian
jacket that made her look so like
a little girl. Glory, she's not big
as a minute. he told himself now,
as if just discovering it.
They still didn't talk much. Up
on the ridge, not far from the Gap
where they drove in cattle from
time to time, they dismounted and
sat together where they could see
the sinking sun. The earth and
the air were warm. The landscape
was vast and delicately colored and
inspiring.
"Kid, been doing lot Of think
ing" Bill began, after a short lull.
Eyes, Bill"
"Sid Bromberg offered me a
stack of money, under contract.
So I could have had money. a lot
of it. But I turned it down.

quite seriously, gazing at him.
They said nothing else for per-
haps five minutes.
TITS nice up here" he remarked,
eventually.
Eyes. Lovely"
You know why I wanted to
bring you up here 2"
mo, Bill. Haven't the slightest
idea. Why?"
He didn't answer. They lust
sat, while he stared out across
space. He moved once to look at
her, and when she turned and
caught his eyes. he looked hastily
away again.
"Bill Baron" she suddenly
spoke, IF you don't hurry up I
shalt shall scream!"
Even in the red Of approaching
evening she could see him turn
redder, and it made her smile. He
grinned back. like the boy he was.
II never-never knew it would
be this hard, at the showdown" he
murmured. "Or this glorious. But
7 wanted it as they do sometimes
in the movies, Ellen-up here, in
the sunset glow" -
He kissed her then. And kissed
her and kissed her. ~
And because they hadr't been
together much Of late, they had a
great deal of talking and planning
to do. They sat together there far
into the star-gemmed evening.

CHAPTER A8

SILENCE somehow seems more
than silent, when there have been
two days of continued laughter and
talking and singing and dancing
and general whirling of sound, eli
NAKED by the ugly staccato of
gunfire.
William Daniel Baron drifted
tantalizingly into mental aware
ness, and realized at once that
Authorizations were still there to
taunt him. He seemed, diabolical-
ly, to be at ease, resting or feat
ing on the soft downiness Of Ellen
Dale's own bed, inside the heaven
ly pale blue of her own bedroom;
in a moment, he knew, it would all
turn again to blaclmess and hor-
ror and pain.
But this time, niraculously, it
didn't turn. AS his mind cleared
still more, he knew that he really
was in Ellens room, in Ellen's bed,
and that through her window he
could see Sunday dawn reflected
upon the great gray Whetstones.
He smiled a little to himself, then
raised his hand to inspect it and
see If it really was there.
"Hey!" he suddenly shouted, or
thought he shouted. Actually he
didn't put half the energy into it
that he imagined he did.
But it was enough. A door
popped open instantly and a nurse
came in. At her heels was Ellen
herself. And then a serious-faced
man, a doctor.
what is it, a parade ?" Bill
asked, still smiling.
They fumbled with him, ex-
amined him hastily, ignored his
question. Then quietly Ellen
pushed in closer and looked
straight into his eyes.
''Bill?"
"Hi, kid. What's the score
now? Glad to see you up. What
about breakfast ?"
Bill! B-Bin!"

How many times we announced
your engagement to her!"
"Gid outa here" Sid Bromberg
barked. "Gid to hell outa here!"
Five days after the grand fiesta
William Daniel Baron was able tt
walk around the ranch yard anG
down to the clubhouse and cor.
rails. He leaned often on the hitch
ing rail down there and chinneG
with some of the boys, and some
times he'd climb cautiously up the
two-by-eight-inch rough planks
that made the corral fence and sit
on top to watch the waddies at
branding.
"Belly gittin' all right, Doc ?"
the boys would demand, every
morning now.
First rate" he'd answer, with
increasing truth.
But most of the time, GONZALES
cling, he'd sit around and sun him
self and think. He was, he ad-
mitted wryly, behind on his think
ing anyway. He was considerably
lonesome, but didn't admit it.
But old Buckshot went the other
way, and Ellen never left his side
more than five minutes at a time
until about two o'clock Tuesday
morning. Thursday afternoon she
helped bury him. People came
back that Thursday night and told
Bill that more people seemed to
be at Buckshot's funeral than at
the fiesta They had buried the
old man, by his request, out on top
Of a hill, and built a double-sized
prospector's claim monument Of
rocks over him. ).
Bill lodged Ellen all that night,
and all next day. He knew she
needed a long rest. And he was
still busy thinking anyway. Fri
day afternoon, the doctor who mo-
tored out carried D;l back to town
so as to examine him under X-ray
and with full hospital facilities.
Bill just stayed in town that Fri
day night so that he could learn
the results of the X-ray photo
graphs Saturday. He rested most
of Saturday morning in his room
at the hotel, or in the patio watch
ing the famous bullfrog, but that
afternoon he rode downtown and
attended to a few business details.
"You heal quicker'n branded
bull" one rancher friend informed
him, which was about true. Bill
had regained his color, much of
his strength now. The X-rays had
showed him to be all right.
On Sunday morning one Of the
I'D cowboys drove a ranch car into
town and took him back home.
Such hands as weren't on duty
were ell out to greet him, and
among them was the head lady
herself, fresh and rested and smil-
ing again now. ~
He went in. by invitation, to
have late breakfast with her, and
joshed her no end about the ultra
dainty tea and toast and MARINA
lade which she sat before him. He
swore he wanted a hunk Of beef,
and meant it. It delighted her,
because she knew he was getting
well.
Their talk, however, was rather
unnatural. Each obviously was
deliberately talking about imper-
sonal ti!ingss deliberately avoiding

CHAPTER i

WAS JULIAN coming or not -!
It was the question Noel Shayne
was asking herself as she sat on
the moon-lighted terrace in a new
and exquisite dinner gown Of gold
.tulle.
She was hoping Julian would
come for a few minutes anyway,
If only to say goodby.
Suddenly. Noel heard the butler
making his slow, ponderous way
to the terrace. AS he drew nearer,
she drew a quick, excited breath.
Tell Doctor Paige, I'm on the ter
race, Matkin," she called out in
her sweet, clear voice.
Begging your pardon, Miss
Noel" Matkin began. "it's long,
distance from your uncle. He
wants to know if he can see you
tomorrow"
Noel thought rapidly. Her
trunks were gone. She and
frankie, her aunt, had all their
plans made to leave tomorrow for
California, and to go from there in
few weeks to Paris. But Noel
was glad Of an excuse to remain
oyer another day. Tell Uncle
Peter I'll watt" she instructed the
butler.
After Matkin had gone, Noel
crossed the terrace and seated her.
self on the balustrade. The night
was beautiful. A playful breeze
sprang up and famed her temples,
bringing with it the haunting fra
GRANGE Of llilacs. A young April
moon threw delicate glow over
the sleeping gardens.
Noel sighed. She had waited for
Julian over an hour. Never before
in all her spoiled, luxurious life
had she waited for; any man. Why
hadn't she gone on to the, dance at
the Planters with her friends?
The old grandfather clock in the
library suddenly began droning the
hour of 10. Then Noel heard
Julian's pleasant voice, "Is Miss
Shayne at home, Matlxin?"
Before the butler finished an
swering Noel had crossed the ter
race and stood at the low French
windows of the drawing room.
Julian was standing before a.
pastoral scene by Corot. She stood
in the windows gazing at his tall,
erect figure, his broad shoulders
and well-modeled dark head. All
at once Noel knew that something
had happened to her almost with
the first moment of their meeting,
something that all the years of her
life would never undo. Julian
Paige was the man in whom her
destiny lay. as fixed, as unalterable
as the stars in the blue orbit of
heaven.
Suddenly he turned. Their eyes
met. 1T was charming of you to
wait" he said, his eyes holding
hers with their warm, dark gaze.
She stepped into the room,
drinking in happily the quiet
strength of his sun Drowned face.
"Cocktail?" she asked.
He nodded indifferently, and
seated himself on the yellow satin
Empire sofa.
Perhaps you would prefer
milk ?" she leased.
He smiled. ooh, no, a cocktail
by all means. One daren't go
against tradition"
Noel gave Matkin an order for
milk and sandwiches. The buffers
face seemed to twitch ever so
slightly as he left the room. Julian
laughed. "You gave him a shock,
asking for milk. He'll probably
bring it in a champagne bottle"
Il thought you might have for
gotten your dinner again." Noel
said solicitously.
II did," he admitted. And
added. "Or maybe it was lunch

LONCWOOD PLANS
 INDOOR MATCHES
Allison, Kovacs, Seeded Entries, Winners of First
 Round Competition
BY ROBERT WEBB United Press Staff Correspondent)

tOHAkCu II CSo otdAL SOA
 Chestnut Hill, Mass, July 21- (UP)-Although Longwood's grass courts were unplayable following three days of steady rain, tourna- ment officials were not diScour- aged and planned to continue play for the 64th annual Longwood Bowl indoors today.
 So far g of the 32 first-round matches have been completed. Four players reached the second round Monday before rain halted play. Yesterday, there were four defaults and Is matches were completed in- doors on the Longwood covered courts.
 Sidney Wood Jr, of San Fran cisco, number five, was the only one of nine seeded players who did not advance to the second round. His first-round match with Al Jar wis, Tenafly, N. J., stopped by rain Monday when each had won set, will be replayed from the start to- morrow morning by agreement of both players.
 Bobby Riggs of Chicago, number 2; Hal Surface of Kansas City, number 4, and Robert Harmon, Oakland, Cal, number 8, won first round matches in straight sets while Frankie Parker of Beverly Hills, Calif., number 3; Gardner Mulloy of Miami, number 6; and Charles Hare of England, only seeded foreign player, moved into the second round by default.
 The Veteran Winner Allison of Austin, Texas, top-seeded and the defending champion, and Frank Kovacs of Oakland, Calif., number ', won first-round matches Mon- day.
 Today's leading engagements in the upper half bring together the confident Riggs and John Foreman, Chapel Hill, N. C.; surface and Ar thur Prochaska, Hartford, Conn.,; David Burt, Harvard, and J. Nor man Anderson, Dartmouth; Har- mon and Sanford Webster, West Point; Holmes Perkins, Brookline, Mass, and Elwood Cooke, Port land, Ore.
 Lower half matches included Ko- vacs and Robert Kerdasha, Chapel Hill, N. O.; Carl Shostrom, Chica- go, and William Winslow, Prince ton, N. J.; Mulloy and George To- ley, Los Angeles. Calf. Players were given the option of playing in- doors or waiting until the grass courts were in shape.
 Because so much time has been lost on account of rain, finals in the singles and doubles not yet started will be held over until Mon- day. The committee will allow Longwood bowl matches to take precedent over the women's invi- tation tournament which is beipS played concurrently.
 Two of the seeded players in the womens tournament entered the second round with the loss of only a single game. Eunice Dean, San Antonio, Texas, seeded third, de- feated Janet Joseph of Adams, Mass, and Blonde Hope Knowles of Philadelphia, number four, defeated Jane Nawn of Brookline.
 Mrs. George w. Wightman, in charge of the women's tournament, said that play would be resumed today at the indoor courts of the Badminton and tennis club in Bos- ton where Wednesdays matches took place.
