CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE At eleven Clark arrived, anxious to get started, outspokenly delighted that they were to have the drive together. Patricia was less open in I her own pleasure with the arrangements. but she was inwardly jubilent. Clark carried her bag to the curb, stowed it away in the luggage rack, assisted her into the low-slung beautiful roadster. They were off into the glorious delft blue day. speeding away from the grime of the city, into the peace and greenness of the country. ‘•Grand out, isn't it?” "Grand.” They smiled contentedly. Patricia pulled off her hat and let the wind have its way with her hair. New York was far behind them now, forgotten were the smells of asphalt and gasoline, the confusion of hurrying crowds, the uproar of restless, never ending traffic. They were in the country. The breeze from Long Island Sound was fresh and pure and the trees that lined the road were deeply green. Patricia feasted her eyes on acres of rolling lawns, on private golf courses, on shady tennis courts, on orchards, simulating nature and accomplishing art “What do you think of it, Patricia ?” "It’s nothing short of paradise to a city girl.” “A city girl,” he echoed tcasingly “What a lot of side from a native of Fullerton. California." “I’m a New Yorker now.” she said with a certain quick insistence which brought a flicker of surprise to his face. “I’m from the city now,” she assured him earnestly. “Why look so solemn about it?” “I’m not looking solemn, am I?” She smiled. It was easier than she had thought Just being with him made her happy. She had this moment As for the future, it must take care of itself. “You’re a sweet youngster,” the man said suddenly. It was less his words than his tone that set her heart to pounding, his tone, the light in his gray eyes, his intent watchful expression. A moment before they had been giddy as children, now they very suddenly were serious. Silence held them for an endless pulsebeat. The air was sweet and still. The dust churned up by their wheels revolved in the sunshine like specks of living gold and from a field near by came the sharp delicious scent of clover and drying grass. Clark’s eyes were very close. “Do you like me?” he asked. “Very much.” she said, low. “And I like you—very much." Clark smiled confusedly as if he had gone too far and knew it. Both were oddly shaken, oddly ill at ease. The man's voice was a little breathless, a little unsteady as he said: “Then it’s a bargain that we like each other.” “Y e s,” said Patricia, conscious that the instant had reached its only possible conclusion. She and Clark would be friends from now on. To be his friend was a great deal. She had hoped for no more, she told herself sternly As they drove on through the dreaming countryside she began to question him about the party. How many people would be there? Did I she know them? Clark obediently reeled off the list, Bob Crittenden, the playwright, his kid sister, Virginia, two chap; who chiefly played polo, Tim Burns and Arch Fairfax. 1 Phil Gove, the Wardells—they had been marned the month before and were still in the hand-holding stage —herself and Julian.

tv > - - 5 t •' & a? IMF* < jr - * ij l 717 1 i BLS v na AW”*** -■ Clark's eyes were very elose. “Do you like me?” he asked. “Very much,” she said, low.

“Os course there will be mother and three other bridge players who think, talk, eat and sleep bridge,” he wound up with a note of warning. “Mind they don’t catch you or you will be cutting in and out until Monday.” “I’D take care,” Patricia promised, laughing. She had listened alertly for a name that had not been mentioned. Presently, she said casually. “W’on’t Marthe be there?” “Did I forget Marthe!” exclaimed Clark, looking vexed with himself. He added quickly, “Marthe has been in the house since yesterday. This week-end will give you two a chance to get really acquainted. Marthe was saying so just last night.” “Was she ? ” echoed Patricia brightly. So Clark and Marthe had discussed her. Why shouldn't they? They were engaged. It was perfectly natural that they should discuss the list of guests. Still, a little of the glory had gone from the day. At length they reached an iron gate where Clark stopped, honked. A man, who had been raking the lawns, ran to the gate and opened it, touching his cap to Clark. They put-putted up a winding road, past a tennis court dappled with sun and shadow, past a long sweep of velvety lawn, in and out among oak and beech trees. The Tracy mansion, a structure of stone gray with age. buried in the soft polished green of ivy, sprawled in terraced levels along a sloping hillside, its awmnged windows and colored slate roof flashing in the sunshine. On the lawn, under a beach umbrella, four people, two men and two women, bent over a bridge table. True to Clark's prediction Mrs. Tracy was engaged at her favorite sport. As their car drew up beneath the porte cochere, she laid down her hand, excused herself and hurried toward them, a smart, thin woman, whose gray eyes, so like Clark’s eyes, rapidly summed up the shy, pretty girl, standing beside her tall, long-limbed son. “I’m glad you could come, my dear,” she said with her own pecu-

left Lho United States with an ex-' i cees of at least one hog tn every six 1 grown in the corn belt in recent years and an excess of around 20 million acres of corn” says a statement from A. G. Black, chief of the corn-hog section of the A. A. A. Hog production increased In the ' country during the war has remained high, with federally inspected slaughter averaging around 64 million head annually. On the other hand. (American exports of pork and lard have declined from about 2 billion pounds tn. 1923 to 711 mil-. lion pounds in 1932. the smallest in 50 years. The resulting excess of: pork and lard on the domestic mar-; ket has driven prices to record j low levels and haa prevented their [

•liar graciousness. She extended > thin, ringed hands in greeting. ’ “I’ve been hearing a lot about ■ Julian Haverholt’s niece. I’ve beer. • anxious to meet you." I “You’re very kind,” said Patricia, ' smiling her thanks. “Not a bit,” declared the older woman energetically. “I assure you that we have all been watching for I you. Colonel Gore was only sitting ' in until you arrived.” Her voice dropped. “I don’t mind saying that he doesn’t know the first thing i about contract; he admits it him- , self. You’re really a gift from i heaven.” “Now mother," protested Clark, . breaking in indulgently, “you will simply have to change your plans. Patricia doesn’t intend to look at a card until Monday.” “Surely that can’t be true,” said Mrs. Tracy in frank dismay, turning to Patricia, “I suppose our little game would bore you." “Not at all,” Patricia must deny. “Then you will play with us?" The other demanded eagerly. “Ive i been so counting on you for a part- . tier.” i “I’ll be glad to play.” I “You see, Clark,” said his mother triumphantly garnering the prize, : linking her arm through Patricia’s, I as if, in some mysterious way, the girl might yet escape. Clark and Patricia looked at each other The man sighed resignedly. Mrs. Tracy i but I do so enjoy being selfish.” The two young people laughed . then and gave up the battle. “Where are the others?” Clark : asked. “At the pool, I think,” said his > mother vaguely. “Anyhow Bob and k Virginia are. Oh, yes. and Marthe is waiting for you at the house. ; She wanted to speak to you about something.” i “What?” “Something about arrangements I for tomorrow, 1 believe. She will . tell you all about it, son.” i As Patricia seated herself at the , bridge table, she saw Clark run up , the verandah steps and disappear into the house.

' rise. "Hog production gained after the World War as more corn became available for hog feeding because of the decline in the number of horses and mult*. Now nearly one half or aroiwid 42 per cent of the coi n crop is fed to hogs. “Acreage of corn Is the key to the problem. Corn production must be reduced to help bring the supply of hogs into better balance with effective demand. That balance is essential to the restoration of parity prices in the coni belt. WILL AID SMALL INDUSTRIALIST (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) in general has aroused sharp progressive protest although all of i the congressional progressives are , not numbered among the adverse critics of NRA. Senator Borah, Repn., Idaho, this week addressed to Secretary of Interior Ickes a complaint that a proposed agreement in the oil industry does, in effect, deliver the independents into the power of four or five major producers. The proposed independents’ board would be similar in form to the NRA labor and consumers boards and would have the same relationship to the NRA organization. Its purpose would be to hear complaints of the so-called little fellows in industry and to adjust their problems and incidentally, establish a liaison with congress. Whether such a board operating under Johnson's supervision, would have the power to compel the reopening of codes to ease difficulties of small manufacturers was not evident. Against the NRA is made the complaint that Its codes sanction monopolistic development of industry under circumstances which must drive many independents out of business. Mingled with this complaint, however, is the discontent of the small business man in the small community who is troubled by wage levels. ■—o -j COURTHOUSE Set For Trial Mary Boschet and Floyd Boschet vs. Frank Herber, replevin, set for trial January 9. 1934.
