a i MH'SIS Life to lovely Patricia Braithwait was a series of parties, trips abroad and now—Palm Beach. Her castles crumble when her Aunt Pamela informs her that Mr. BraiHiwait’s fortune is depleted and suggests that Pat marry the wealthy, middleaged Harvey Blaine to insure her own and her father’s future, warn- . ing her that love fades. Aunt Pam’s marriage with Jimmie Warren—handsome, young lawyer—was beginning to pall in spite of the ardent love they had had for each other. They still cared but the routine of married life had made them “less lovers and more friends”. Stunned by her aunt’s revelations, Pat is seriously considering Blaine to save the father she adores, when she meets a fascinating young camper, who only reveals his first name. Jack. Despite their instant attraction for one another, Pat discourages future meetings. That night. Pam cautions Blaine to be matter-of-fact and not sentimental in trying to win Pat. CHAPTER SEVEN “I’m only forty, and I don’t look ■ that.” She laughed sarcastically. "You | think you don’t” she said. “Men and women your age tell you that, hoping you'll return the compliment. Girls and boys of twenty ; think you are an old man. It never occurs to them that you are young for your age. They don’t know what ‘young for one’s age’ means. But you have the purchase price ; of young kisses if you care to go into the market.” “I don’t,” haughtily. She ignored the interruption. “You want a very special article. That very special article needs to be bought by you. But because it is a very special article, unless you use common sense, I fear all your wealth won’t buy it—since there are younger, handsomer men in the field. Your one advantage is that she is desperately hard up, and adores her father. But I’m not sure you can press that advantage too far.” “You don’t think I am fool enough to marry a woman to look at her, do you?” The long narrow face was dark with anger. “No. But you might keep that fact to yourself, and win her by great kindness later. Wait for her to offer to kiss you. She will if you win her gratitude. Gratitude may grow into affection. That’s all.” She rose and trailed off to her villa to “rest.” • • « Born to affluence, Mr. Braithwait had from earliest boyhood been a student, an idealist. Following in the footsteps of his ancestors he had been educated for the bar; but, increasingly convinced, in the course of his practice, that no living man could possibly know all the laws of the country, no court enforce the staggering mass of them, no man respect their mob confusion, he had, after a few brilliant years, retired to his plantation up Red River, refusing to align himself, so he declared, with a system which was neither in accord with his idea of the creative plan of Beauty among men; nor of democracy. A system which was nullifying its own demands; defeating its own purpose, and creating a nation of law break- ' ers. He married a sweet young girl who lived on a neighboring plantation, and. with the fire of the idealist. who in other circumstances might have been a poet, an artist, or a martyr, dedicated himself and hi? family to his ideal of a life to be purged of all unloveliness, through true freedom. After twenty years of marriage, Emily Braithwait gave her life in

giving life to little Patricia. From that moment John Braithwait lived but for his daughter. And the very isolation of his intellectual life tended to shelter his devotion to his ideals. His contacts with the world had been limited to occasional visits to New Orleans, New York, and other points where he had attended theatres, the opera, been entertained by wealthy and apparently circumspect friends. Through reading, and the inevitable drift of conversation, he was fully informed concerning all this so-called “modernism” with its rebellion and destructiveness; its flamboyant flouting of manners and morals. But it had touched him somewhat as a foreign war, in which one has no part —a regrettable fact; but out of one’s province. He thought of “moderns” in the strict sense, as a sort of bohemian class drawn from the theatre and other arts. That young people were more sophisticated than in his youth, he also knew; but of this he approved. Did not the very tenets of his doctrine of Beauty include knowledge and freedom? But freedom which included debased conduct was a phase that had never even remotely attached itself in his mind to respectable folk. Certainly not to his friends nor their children. H i s present circumstances had come about through one of nature’s curious vagaries. The Braithwait plantation fronting two miles on Red River had slowly been eaten up by the ravenous stream. The mansion house situated several hundred yards from the bluff at the time of young Braithwait’s marriage, had been moved back once at great cost before Patricia’s birth, and was again moved shortly afterward. The river had not changed its course. It simply rose each Spring, ate into the bluff, and sank back with the coming of summer to its original bed. In his boyhood he had sat many hours on the bluff in front of the house, dangling his feet over the swiftly flowing water. Patricia, standing on the bluff as a little girl, had looked across a waste of sandy marsh to the river a half mile away. And to sell caving land, once the fact becomes known, is impossible. Every planter for miles on each side of him, making futile efforts to sell, had finally, in desperation and without success, tried to realize something by putting ridiculously low mortgages on their lands. They had one and all been forced to sit by and watch the river eat their substance from under them. Pamela’s father, who had an office in Wall Street, alone of all the sufferers, had sold. And he had found a buyer for Mr. Braith-.,ait —a wealthy banker who wanted a plantation for a plaything. The man. coming down to see the place, had expressed his entire satisfaction. . . . And Mr. Braithwait had told him that the land was caving. “Well, why haven’t you bulkheaded it?” demanded the banker. “The only bulkheads that would be of any use would be a cement wall,” Mr. Braithwait replied. “Well?” “And t h a t to be of use w-ould have to extend the full length of all the caving land in this section, ■ since a wall across the face of one or t w o plantations would let the water in at each end.” i “I see. And that would cost several million dollars—with perhaps ■ not more than a dozen men inters ested in the project. How fast is it , caving?” I Mr. Braithwait told him. > “At that rate y<Hir land will all , be gone in, say, twenty-five years?” “Unless it stops. Caving somc- . times stops as suddenly as it starts, i A change in the course of the river,

a deepening ot v<k -—, ■ a hundred miles above, relieving us of the full volume of water. Again, I've known caving land to stop without any apparent cause. But it’s a chance.” The banker grew thoughtful. ' “Why did you tell me? You knew I was green.” “That’s why I told you. Had you been a river man I shouldn’t have ' felt it necessary. It’s there ” He waved his hand toward the uncertain ridge of the bluff, below which stretched that wide expanse of marsh. “Mr. Braithwait, I'm afraid 1 shouldn’t have told you if I'd seen my fortune slipping out from under me and you had been my one chance of rescue. But I can admire a man who does what you have done. And I thank you.” That had been the end of the matter. Meanwhile, the hoped-for rescue by chance had not arrived. The years went on. The river held to its ruthless way. And the land went into its maw. The bluffs, originally some thirty feet high, had gradually been drawn to ten and twelve feet, forming a long slope to the river. In the course of another forty or fifty years, when the bluffs would be entirely washed down, it would be possible to reclaim the waste | land by means of levees. Patricia’s grand-children might come into the spreading acres of her ancestors; but for her there remained a strip two miles in length and less than an eighth of a mile wide on which the negroes no longer dared live. The mansion house sitting on the back of the plantation during her childhood, had grown so soon after she went away to boarding school, that Mr. Braithwait had sold it for old lumber. He h. built, of lumber reserved, a shack on the remaining strip. In this he had lived in greatest economy during the school term, tilling his parsimony with the aid of two negroes who lived in the hills. He had sold off his cattle and farm implements gradually. By making a trip to NewOrleans, taking along photographs he had persuaded an antique dealer to come up and look at his furniture. On the furniture, silver, pictures and the lumber from the house, he had realized a little over twelve thousand dollars. And after considering the smallness of the sum as the possible nucleus of a business, his age and inexperience in the business world, he had put it in the bank for Patricia. It had taken care of her remaining years at school, a n d of their summers together. Meanwhile, never doubting the Ultimate Beauty toward which this seemingly unjust fate rushed him and his neighbors, he had chosen for his daughter a very exclusive i school near New York, content in the belief that she was safe in that Beauty which he had taught her to I expect of life. That such a school was made up . of the young revolutionists of which one heard and read so much, had | been slowly, impinging upon his ; consciousness of late. These young folk, with their defiant egoism, dashing from amuse- ] tn e n t to amusement, absorbed in f objective life, scornful of either , beauty or danger, patronizing their > athers and mothers, moody and 8 contemptuous, he realized to hi s dismay, had been Patricia's com- . panions during the greater part of s the past six years. If I have but broken doctrinal t bars for my child, he reflected, 1 have done no more than these pa thetic young revolutionists are try--1 ing to do for themselves. And they ” are in the midst of carnage and . mob madness. , (To Be Continued) » O 1932, by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
