Bradshaw"
DOCTOR Bradshaw TO you,
ma'am," he retorted, saying the
usual prayer while he pulled on the
choke and forgetting, as usual, to
say a prayer Of thanks when the
engine turned over.
Her eyes had a warm light when
she turned them on him. "You
needn't worry about being good
enough for most of those people on
the hill, boy. You were born a gen.
tleman, which Is more than Tom
Kilcran'was."
Il think you're Just prejudiced,
Miss Bradshaw. Tom Kilcran is our
leading citizen, cur only million
aire, the local boy who made good.
He's done all right for himself.
Somebody was telling me he
worked as a fire boy in the mills
when he was only little kid"
That's right. I remember him
when he first came here and his
mother nearly starved to death
trying to get in enough sewing to
live on. They lived in little shack
on the mill property. He was a
skinny little 10-year-old tyke with
brogue you could slice Mercy me,
that was 80 or 81 years ago! Before
you were, born"
Perfect fairy-tale, wasn't It ?"
Tony went on conversationally,
pressing his foot down hard on the
rafting foorboard. From rags to
riches, complete with romance.
Former fireboy marries beautiful
daughter of mill owner. Boy gets
girl AND mill. Was she very beau
tiful, Addie ?"
Adde'S mouth fell into familiar
tight lines. IF you call that skinny

thought she was a mite too skinny.
What she ever saw in Tom Kilcran
l don't know, but they certainly
were in love when they first got
married. Then she began tralpsin'
all over Europe until the war
and :"
And this Is where you're going
to traipse, my dear auntie. I've got
to stop in and see Dan Higgins"
Miss Addie got out and turned
her eyes to the hill, where the tow
ers Of Stormwold, the Kilcran man
sion, rose against the bluest sky. A
copper roof cleaned in the sun and
its wilderness was as white as a
handful Of drifting clouds. It was
no sight at which to sniff, but sniff
is what Miss Addie did.

she wants to stay here because she
loves the place as much as you do,
would you help her? It's only
Christian, you know"
Addie Bradshaw had taken a
deep breath. She let it out ex-
plosively. Lands sake, you don't
have to remind me Of my Christian
duty. I'll help any as needs it,"
He squeezed what little breath
she had left out OF her body.
But there amt thing can do,
Anthony. You know as well as l do
that young people either go TO
work at the mills or go away, be-
cause there amt any work here
There's stores and the town hall
and library, yes, but the folks who
work in 'em have been here always
and they work until they die. May
be she could get Office work at the
mill. Anyway, I'll keep my eyes
open" She meant she would keep
her ears open, but Tony did not
correct her. He rumpled her hair
and kissed her soundly.
MY stars, it's most 9 o'clock
she said, getting up, shaking her
self into trimmer form, unable to
shake off her apprehension.
He hurried through the finishing
Of his toilet. transferring wallet,
watch, stethoscope, thermometer
and prescription pad from the
pockets Of a shabby blue coat to
his best tweed jacket, preparing for
his call on the mill owner, and went
into the surgery.
He picked up the telephone and
asked the operator to get him Kill
Gran at the mills. He waited for a
long time, said Thanks" and hung
up.
Miss Addie came to the door Of
the surgery buttoning her black
cotton gloves. you'd best get a
move on, Anthony, If you're going
to make calls, get to the mills and
back in time to see Minnie Ballard
at l o'clock"
I'm not going TO the mills this
morning. Kilcran isn't going to be
in today"
Miss Addie let out her breath in
a little exclamation that drew her
nephew's glance. Il thought there
was something up" she said, nod
ding between each word, giving a
kind of satisfied accent to each.
Something up?" Tony repeated
absently, thumbing the tattered
book in which he kept his engage
ments.
Miss Addie nodded portentously
again. Mrs, Kilcran and the girl
came home last nigh" she said
simply, as dramatic things should
be said.
They're in Santa Fe." Tony ran
his finger down the page of RS.
They WERE. They got back to
New York last night and came on
the express. 1t stopped specially for
them. Something's up, mind you"
Tony shook his head, smiling af-
fectionately. "Addie, you're Won

"Millie Sims told me on the tele-
phone this morning. Her niece
