Y always have wondered why
you send me so much money when
you hate me So All those birthday
checks"
That" cut in Susy Adams, sis

for a penny if had my way. Your
grandfather arranged all that. 1t
was specified in his will. A thou
sand dollars for each birthday-the
dunderhead!"
May go now, Mother?"
Surprisingly her mother agreed.
yes. Run along. Have what you
call fun, for you're leaving soon"
At the door the girl turned. "Td
feel awful, Mother, except I know
that what you've told me Is not
true" Belinda had not dared make
such a statement until she was in a
safety spot.
However, her mother only
smiled. TRY doing something and
you'll md out what the court calls
true"
Belinda wanted to run when she
was outside those lavish rooms. In
stead, she forced herself TO walk
slowly, unconcernedly, in case her
mother might be watching for a
sign Of agit%tion. She even hummed
bit, but not that II sounded musi-
cal, even to her. But It helped stin
the questions in her head.
Dad wouldn't do anything like
her mother had said. He might be
weak, but he wasn't bad. He
wouldn't do anything like that, she
kept saying to herself, fighting the
assuredness Of her mothers last re-
mark. Dad had always been crazy
about her grandfather. Belinda
could remember that from a way
back. So grandfather, in return,
was crazy about her father. That
sounded right. And II he was, he
Just about would tell him to get
himself some money.
Yes. That was it. Belinda was in
her own room now. Grandfather
should have stayed alive and kept
things Strengthened out. And then
she began to cry. She leaned on the
top of her dresser and looked at
herself in the mirror, watching the
ugly tears run down her cheeks.
And all the while she kept say
ing: Poor Belindal Poor Belinda!"
as II 1t were someone else crying.
She did not leave her room for
several hours. At least a half dozen
times she heard Spenser walk past
her window; she knew It was he be-
cause he had the dog with him
and, exactly as he neared her
room, he found 1t necessary to call
loud admonihons to Tex. hoping
they would lure Belinda
Prepared to fay her verbally
when she did eventually emerge, he
was left fioundering by the sight
Of her. Her eyes were no longer
swollen, but just bright from re-

she was wearing the stunning lit

Spenser stared, fascinated. Tn
