"STOLEN LOVE I Au HAZEL LIVINGSTON .

CHAPTER LI Bill went to the window, and looked out, his hands in his pockets. "You shouldn't lie about Joan. Ruth. You shouldn't have done it She's so honest herself —so— so sporting. It—it isn’t right.” She opened and shut her hands nervously, waiting for him to go on, ' but he didn’t. He just stood there, looking out. “You can’t say I'm not a good sport, lam. I wouldn t lie about another girl if it was to—to get the Prince of Wales for a boy friend. Why. I’ve known about Joan and you for ages. Do you think I 1 ever let on to anybody? What chance would she have had with Barstow if I had—or any of that crowd?” His back was still turned, but she saw him quiver. The shot told. She went on quickly. “I wouldn’t have told you about Barstow new if ' it would have done her any harm. ' ' I’m just that kind of a good-natured slob. . . . But you’re out of it now. Don’t you see that? She doesn’t I care whether you live or die—Oh, Will’um, dear —can’t you get over it too? Why spoil your life worrying about somebody who doesn’t care about you?” “I know I’m out of it, you don’t have to tell me that. But you don’t have to lie about her either—you take that back, Ruth—” "But I didn't lie! Ng, don’t interrupt me—l’ll tell you—l'll tell you ' just how I know —’ “You don’t know Joan,” he said doggedly. ‘Keep ttill —l’m going to tell yon now whether you want to hear it or not. I didn’t know myself. I thought everything was just like it semed. Who wouldn’t, with all the society stuff in the papers and all, and the old lady herself, his mother, purring around. This morning Joan comes in the shop and says she s going up to Santa Cruz to the Barstow cottage, Mrs. Barstow invited her. I swallowed that— it sounded all right. “I saw her go out alone with Barstow, and get in his roadster, and that looked all right, too. I thought the others had gone on ahead like she said. And then just before I met you, in comes old lady Barstow. ‘ls Miss Hastings in?’ she says, ‘Tell her my son is called out of town on business, will you, and tell her I expect her to dinner this evening*—that's the truth—now do you believe me. Do you see I wasn’t lying—” “You mean his mother wasn't going—she didn’t know they were going—” “Os course not Believe me they took good care she didn’t— ’’ "Then Joan didn’t either. Y'ou don’t think he—you don’t think he would— Oh, Ruth—why didn’t you tell me before —why didn’t you— I’ll never make it now—never —” He was out of the room, running down the long narrow hall, plunging down the stairs before Ruth realized what was happening. She stood in the doorway looldng into the blank, dim hall a long time. • • • The small, high-powered car purred up the hills, swooped down them, sped along the stretches of smooth, level highway. . Bill was coming to Joan again, coming to her at last “I have the right,” he thought. “I have the right—” He hadn’t stopped to analyze Ruth’s story. He hadn’t stopped to think it all out Something was wrong. She would need him, he was coming. He thought of the night he had driven in the fog for Milt speeding to get back to Joan. He thought of her waiting in the garden, listening, waiting for him, all through the night . . . “It was Milt's fault,” he thought unreasonably, “I never liked him, the big loafer, it was his fault I lost her—” Speeding. He was speeding the night he lost her ... he slowed up, 'ianeed back nervously ... he must not lose her again.... It seemed so natural and right hat he should be going to her now. The time between them was as if it lad never been. It was the old Joan ie would find, the girl with the flyaway gold hair, and the warm arms ■pen for him, the girl who had stood ' n the windswept hill on another

April day and promised, ”I’ll al- [ ways love you Bill—and 111 never be sorry—ever —’’ She had said that. She meant it. Things had hafc--1 pened, things had come between them, but they weren’t real, he would sweep them all away n0w.... His heart sang. The warm wind 1 touched him like a benediction. The ? lines by the roadside were sparking and clean after the rains. Their new pale green shoots stood straight I up, tall candles on giant Christmas ' trees, waiting to be lit. Waiting ... ’ everything quiet . . . expectant . . . ’ waiting, ... 1 Joan ... would he find her ? He stepped on the gas again . . . • speed .. . have to take a chance ... i Oh, what a fool he was. not even '■ asking where he would find her.... At the Casa del Rey in Santa Cruz ■ he asked a clerk at the desk. "The Barstow cottage? Never heard of it. You probably mean one of the ■ places out in the country— ’’ He took out his handkerchief and I wiped his face. Little beads of perspiration had gathered on his forehead and upper lip. What a fool, what a fool , . . Ruth must have known, and he hadn’t asked her. Getting late too. . . . He turned the pages of the San Francisco telephone directory. The man's mother, he’d get it out of her. ... “Mrs. Barstow isn’t it,” a woman’s voice answered. “Is there any message?” “It is about the Santa Cruz cottage,” he said quickly. “Just where is it—near what place?” There was a moment’s silence, he thought he heard her hanging up—“lt’s a matter of life or death,” he shouted, “Tell me where it is—quick—” “I don't know just where, I only been there once. It is shingles, all by itself like. From Felton we got the mail... hello ? What's wrong ? Operator—you cut me off—” Bill had left the phone booth. “Where do I hit the Felton road? I’ll have to double back—l see, thanks—thanks very much—” He was in the car again, speeding up the curving mountain road. The sun set The first rain drops pattered on the windshield. The road was deserted. If there were cottages in the wooded hills they were silent and dark. He ploughed on in the dark and the rain, more slowly now, looking for lights. For the first time his courage failed. He must have lost the road, there was nothing ahead but a narrow, wavering trail. And trees. And dark. • • • Joan jumped out of the car almost before Curtis stopped it. “I’ll run ahead, while you park it. Os course they’ll know why we’re late when they see the poppies!" She stopped and looked down at the glowing mass of them in her arms—- “ But we can't leave them in the car to wither, poor dears. Here—you take ’em, Curtis—and then they’ll scold you!" She laid them on the scat beside him and ran up the rocky path to the cabin, laughing. When he followed a moment later with the suitcases she was at the end of the long verandah trying to peek in a window. “Why, Curtis, they aren’t here yet! All the blinds are down, and dirt and pine needles all over the verandah. You don’t think anything happened to them—” “Oh no,” he said easily. “Old lady Cunningham kept them waiting a couple of hours I suppose. They’ll be along. Good thing I brought a key thougjh.” He fitted the key in the door, and threw it open. The musty dampness of the long closed house came out to them from the open door. It was cold inside, their footsteps echoed dismally on the bare, dusty floor of the shrouded living room. “Oh, I say—” Curtis stopped involuntarily just inside the door. “This is a sad looking place! I didn’t know they shut it up like this—” looked so helpless and aggrieved that Joan burst out laughing. “Haven’t you ever seen rugs rolled up, and sheets on the furniture before? I believe you haven’t, your mother usually sends someone ahead to open the house, doesn’t she? Never mind, we’ll fix it—it won’t take any time. You make the

fire—and open all the windows, and I’ll sweep and take the covers off and dust. .. where do you suppose they keep the brooms and things. She flung her hat and coat on a chair in the kitchen and came back with an enormous kitchen apron tied around her neck, and a broom. “Why you aren’t doing anything. Hurry up—we want to have it all fixed before they get here—we 11 put them to shame. t stand and look at me— work! “Oh, I never expected to find it like thi»," he kept repeating, as he pried open the windows, and rolled the rugs back over the swept floor. “I thought it would be —like it always was—” “A fire burning, and flowers on the table!” she laughed. “You see you’re spoiled. But it’s a wonder your mother didn’t send Annie ahead, isn’t it? Maybe they’re bringing her with them in the car. Or do we have to do our own work this time? It would be sort of nice not to have any servants —just picnic. Is she bringing Annie, Curtis?” He was staring at the empty fireplace, rubbing his hands as if they were cold. “Curtis! You never listen to me. Is your mother bringing Annie?” “I don't know,” he said absently. “I don’t think so. I’m awfully sorry, Johnnie —I wouldn’t have brought you. I thought it would be just as usual—” “You wouldn’t have brought me—” she echoed. “I mean—that is. I’d have taken good care they got here first. The fact is,” he said, smiling a little sheepishly, “I had an idea we’d get here before they did. Thought it would be rather nice, if we did get here first, and perhaps have dinner by ourselves—” "It is nice,” she said warmly. “It’ll be lots of fun. Doesn't the place look lived in already? When the fire burns a little brighter it will be perfect, and I’ll find a bowl for our poppies. But we won't have anything to eat until they do get here—there isn’t even a can of sardines in the pantry—just pepper and salt and flour!” “Oh I have some of the supplies in back of the car—l’ll get them—” He came back with a hamper, all out of breath from carrying it up the steep stone steps. Joan rose from the fireplace, where she had been coaxing the big logs with twigs and rolled newspapers. Her face was anxious. “It would be fun and all that to go on and get something to eat—-I am starving—but wouldn’t they think it was queer?” “No—most natural thing in the world. We’ll get dinner for them when they get here. Five o’clock—is that too early to eat?” “N-no. but I think we nught to wait until six for them.” “Well—all right.” He sank into an arm chair near the fire and watched her while she explored the hamper. “Chops and baeon, and tomatoes —salad and coffee and ham and eggs and everything —but not enough for six, Curtis. Why there are only four chops!” “Only four? That’s funny—Oh, well, they’ll have more stuff.” “Yes, I know—but it’s such a funny way to fix it—” Her clear eyes searched his. “Unless you knew they wouldn’t be here until after dinner—” “Well—l had a pretty good idea.” “But you told me—” “Don’t cross-examine me—for heaven's sake, Joan. It’s getting to be a regular trick of yours. 'When will they get here?’ ‘What time did they leave?’ Good heavens—you’re enough to make anyone irritable—” And then at sight of her startled, hurt face he jumped up and put both arms around her, kissing her closed eyes, her trembling hands with which she tried to cover her face. “You mustn’t mind me, Johnnie—nervous— don’t mean anything—mustn’t mind. . . .” She slipped out of his arms. “It’s all right I know you didn't mean it I’ll start dinner then—” “I’ll help—” “No. I'd rather do it alone. You can set the table if you like.” (To Be Continued Tomorrow)
