She didn't mention David's being
there. She knew Het would believe
that it was quite by accident that
he had hit day when Jake wasn't
home. But Jake got upset so easily
these days he could be extremely
unreasonable, and she didn't want
10 risk bringing one on Of his an
cry, silent spells. She sighed a lit
tie. The last few months had had
their trying moments.
But she was smiling when she
came back into the living room.
You'd better say what's on your
mind quickly. because the snow is

Kay walked restlessly around the
room. David, I don't mean to be
inhospitable, but"
"Now you're the one who's be-
ing silly" he said. In the first
place, I'm not going to risk getting
stuck in a snow drift and spending
the night in the car. My time is toe

the second place, it's more than

I'm here tomorrow. even If you

David was stubborn. This re-

had before. She might as well save
her breath.

She gave him a pair Of Jake

took shovels and cleared the snow
away from the barn doors, pushed

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

THE IDEA that the visitor that
snowy afternoon was David hadn't
occurred to Kay. She hadn't seen
him In months. She wondered what
possessed him to come now. She
was so lonely that the thought of
seeing an old friend was an excit-
ing one. And surely David was
that An old and dear friend.
She went through Jake's music
room into the living room. Hello,
David" she said, holding out her
hand. This is a pleasant surprise"
Hello yourself" David rose
quickly from the deep arm chair
thirst his pipe into an ash tray
walked across the floor to greet
Kay. He looks tired" she thought
That's because of the Christmas
rush. He looks utterly tired, with
the lines around his eyes, his fore
head, the side OF his mouth sunk
deeper than ever"
But he was smiling at her and
his eyes were glowing. II must say

Ing about. I've never seen you with

That's the wind and the snow, "
she said with an easy laugh. II
must hear all the news. You sit
down and I'll make some tea and
then Wen have a real confab."
When they had finished their tea,
Kay threw some more logs on the
fire and lit a cigaret. zone more
thing before we get started. Jake's
in New York and I've got to call
him and tell him not to come home
until the snow ploughs been
through"
In New York! Do you mean to
tell me he goes to New York and
leaves you all alone in an out-of-
the-way place like this?' He was
lncensed.
Now, don't be silly, David. don't
think anything Of it. You sound like
fussy old grandmother" She
wanted to ignore his Indignation.
How often does this happen ?"
he demanded.
"Oh, not often. And It can't be
helped, so just you don't start car
rying on" She didn't feel like tel
Ing him what Jake was doing.
David was so successful that he
was apt to be intolerant of people
who hadn't landed on their feet yet.
She was proud of Jake. Let David
hear about what was taking Jake
to town when he read the notices
Of Jake's first concert.
"Of course, it's no business OF
mine" he said. but I think It's out
rageous. All the more reason why
you've got to listen to what I've
come hare to say"
Il can hardly help listening
There's no place can get away
from you here. so as soon as I've
made my call I'll be all ears"
Jake wasn't in when she called
but Het said she'd see that he got
the message.
Are you going to be all right
Het asked. why don't you get out
while you can and take train tc
town. If it's a real blizzard you
might be showed in for days"

sleep?
According to the fairy tale they lived hap
PLY ever after. But the writer probably had
a deadline 10 make, and just couldn't wait 10
follow up on his story.
BY juggling the characters OF the old
lcgend-replacing the fctional ones with live
ones--you can make pretty good guess how
things turned out.
For Prince Charming let us suppose his
name is Prince Johann Won und zu (of and att
Licchtensten He was young and handsome
and the cousin Of the supreme ruler Of a
postage-stamp country sandwiched between
Switzerland and Austria.
He was a romantic bachelor and when the
spupg Of 1881 came along his young mans
fancy turned from thoughts Of the throne he
might inherit 20 thoughts Of love.
From his turreted castle high on a noun
tain top in remote Liechtenstein his memory
recalled a lovely girl he had met at a dance
in Paris five years before
She wasn't European royalty by a long
shot She was an American girl from Texas.
but "A princess even So. To the cowhands on
her fathers extensive ranch at Weatherford,
Texas she was nobler and more regal than
any crowned poteutate
When Johann's brother Prince Ferdinand
Andreas married Miss Shelagh Brunner in
London, Johann went 10 London for the cere-
mony and stayed on for several months.
His visit was marred by the tragedy which
happened 10 Miss Brunners wealthy parents.

pened but one night he shot and killed his
lovely wife and then put a bullet through his
own head.
The tragedy shocked London society and
considerably dampened the spirits Of pleasure
loving Prince Johann.
one of the first to express her sympathy
was Aleene Mcfarland. Her appearance
brought back TO Johann's heart the memory
of an nfatuation he had had for her a few
years before.
The couple soon fell mady in love and
Johann wired his reigning cousin, Prince
Franz l. the news.
a terse telegram came back saying that
Johann had better be marrying for money
since by marrying a commoner, he would
have 90 surrender his claim TO the throne
Johann didn't even have to investigate his
sweetheart's bank account, Her father who
had died a few years before, had left enough
money to buy almost all OF Liechtenstein
So they were married, just like it says in
the story books. And it's true that the Cow.

together for while.

Detroit evening times., 1943-04-11

His late ruling cousin Prince Franz l.
who succeeded his brother, the Invisible
Monarch had married a commoner too, al
though not until he was safely sitting on the
throne. Her name was Baroness Won Guttnan
and she came from a wealthy German banking
family
But this democratic impulse Of the ruler
didn't soften his heart any when his cousin
Johann also married pebeian. He chose to
succeed him, instead, a namesake nephew the
one who just married a Vicnnese countess
If this union shouldn't bear fruit there is
always hope for Johann, though the possibility
seems remote today. Johann is one Of the
few remaining male members Of the royal
family If he should inherit the throne. he

Aleene knew all about cattle.
Her father was one of the rich
est cattle-raisers in America.
Aleene knew more about cattle
than she did about people. What
more could the prince Of a cow
country ask of his bride?
Yes, the Prince figured, Aleene
would be a real help if he we're
ever called upon to rule his
country.
But Liechtenstein is a strange
country and its ruling family
are even stranger. People down
in Texas, Aleene's country, are
home folks. Altogether a diff
ferent breed Of cattle from the
pedigreed Liechtensteiners.
There was old Prince Johann,
for instance, after whom
Aleene's husband was named.
During his 71-year reign, one
of the longest in history, he was
known as the Invisible Mon
arch"
Few of his subjects ever saw
him. His presence was felt in
the form Of a voice on the phone
and from behind screens and
draperies. 1t was supposed that
the old man had some sort of
ailment, so startling to look
upon that his pride kept him
in hiding.
Aleene found it difficult, per-
haps, TO understand a husband
who had come from such odd
blood.
But there were other things
to make up for what her hus-
band lacked.
With her millions, Aleene was
always bothered by her income
taxes, as who isn't?
But Liechtenstein has no taxes,
because there is nothing to tax
the inhabitants for.
Big-wigs from Vienna often
suggested that Liechtenstein
ought TO have schools, universe
ties and other expensive insti-
tutions, but all such plans were
vetoed.
Liechtenstein would seem like
Utopia, for, aside from being
rich, taxless and happy, it is
also neutral in the present con-
flict.
When Prince Johann married
his commoner wife. he thought
he wasn't throwing away his
blueprint to Utopia entirely.
