CINDERELLA" Harold Bell Wright *

CHAPTER XXVII, Neither of the two backwoods women had ever before been aboard a railway train. In journeying from one remote country district to another they had always traveled by team and wagon, with household goods, farming implements, and crates of chickens sharing their accommodations, and with dogs, horses, and a cow or two following after. First, the poor little bob-tailed train from Wilderness Station through the familiar Ozarks to the junction; then the express with the luxurious Pullman in which John Herbert had thoughtfully booked a drawing-room for the two women. The dining-car—the sights from the window as they fled farther and farther from the backwoods—the villages and towns through which they passed—their fellowpassengers—the lights at night—it was all a new and woiTderful world to Ann and Nance. Then the roaring union station in the great city, and the thrilling ride in the taxi through the traffic. Poor Nance was like a frightened animal in strange surroundings. Desperately sne clung to Ann. Cowering in abject misery, she muttered whining protests and , dire prophecies. But Ann Haskel, in away, was like a persoa returning to her na- j tive land from a long exile in a hard ' country among an inhospitable pen pie. While everything was strangle, she seemed to feel that she was not I an alien. In spite of her uglybackwoods garb she carried herself j with a poise and dignity which won her son’s increasing admiration and drew more than a passing glance from strangers. Her dark eyes shone with intelligent interest. Her aheeks were flushed with color. Nothing escaped her notice and she asked questions innumerable wjth the frank eagerness of a young girl on her first trip abroad. There was a new note in her voice, a new freedom in her speech and manner. She was quick to smile, and she laughed often as her son had never heard her laugh before. At sight of the gorgeously uniformed personage who received them at the hotel, Nance Jordan shrank back in the corner of the cab. “My Gawd-a-mighty! Ann Hasbel. you’ve done fetched up at the wrong place. Sich as we-uns ain’t got no right bein’ hyear. You’ll git us jailed sure’s the devil.” “Shet your mouth an’ keep hit shet,” snapped Ann. "Ain’t I told you from the start all you had to do was to watch Herb an’ me an’ do as we-uns do?” She stepped from the cab and, erect and proud, faced the doorman w+th steady eyes which transformed hipi instantly from the haughty autocrat to the obsequious menial. As they followed the boy with their bags into the lobby of the somewhat pretentious hostelry, it was as if an electric signal flashed to every world-wise employee on duty at the moment The room clerk at the desk took one look and turned with a low grinning remark to his fellow clerks. The grin faded into a sickly smile of welcome when the mountain woman, with the woods solt crowding close on her heels and John Herbert following, stood before him. “We-uns air aimin’ to stop with you a spell, mister.” Courteously the clerk placed the register before them and offered a pen to John Herbert The young man was about to write, when his mother stopped him with, “What be you Axin’ to sign, son ?” Gravely John Herbert explained. Ann Haskel took the pen from his hand. “I reckon hit’s all right, but I aim to do all the sitin’ fer we-uns—fer a spell yit” It was John Herbert’s eyes this time which held the clerk's respectful attention. "And what accommodations do you require, madam?” "We-uns want the best you got” “Do you wish a suite ?' r “Heh?” “Do you desire a suite of rooms?” “I ain’t particular Tiout their bein’ sweet but you'd best see to hit

I wired.” The clerk looked at the register. “Oh, of course! I beg your pardon, Mrs. Haskel.” In the elevator Ann reassured the frightened Nance. “Shucks! Thar ain’t nothin' to be a-scared of. If these folks can chance hit, I reckon we-uns can.” “ "Tain’t that I’m sure ’nough scared. Ann,” Nance whined, apologetically. “Hit’s jest the feel of hit.

Seems like the bottom’s a-fallin* out of my stummick.” As they followed the boy through the long halls she clung desperately to Ann’s arm. “You’d best ask him whar he’s aimin’ to take us. I’m a-tellin’ you we-uns air plum’ lost now. We’ll never in Gawd-a-miglity's world find our way out of hyear again. I wish we’d stayed on solid ground whar sich as weuns belong.” When they were ushered into their rooms she continued with tragic earnestness: “I’m a-tellin’ you, Ann Haskel, this hyear ain’t no place fer hill-billies sich' as you an’ me. They’ve done mistook us fer somebody else. We’d best be gittin’ out right now ’fore they find out an’ hit's everlastin’ too late.” While she was trying to convince Nance that they were in no danger, Ann saw John Herbert tip the departing bellboy. As the door closed, the mountain woman faced her son. “Didn’t I tell you as how 1 aimed to pay fer everything?” “I’m sorry, mother.” “What’d he charge fer these hyear rooms?” “You don’t pay the bellboy for our rooms, mother,’ the young man ' answered, gravely. “You pay at i the office when they give you the bill.” “But you give him money. I seen ' you.” John Herbert explained the custom. “You don’t give nothin’ to that i feller what had us write our names : in his book.” ' “No; that is a little different." “Huh! I can’t see no difference. They’re both a-workin’ hyear. ' How’s a body to know who to t>p— : as you call hit—an’ who not to?” “Oh. you’ll learn, mother.” “Seems like thar’s so dad-burned i much fer me to I'arn.” she returned. “Fer instance, what’d you mean when you told the man what give us these rooms that he had our res-

ervations? Hit didn’t make no kino of sense to me, but he sure knowed what you meant right off.” When John Herbert had explained how he had telegraphed for their accommodations in order to be sure of having the rooms they desired, and to make it easier for her upon their arrival, she said, slowly: “That war downright thoughtful of you, son. an’ I’m obliged, but you ought to ’a’ told me’ bout hit right then. You see, I’ve jest got to I’arn all ’bout sich things. I got to I’arn how things ought to be done so’s I’ll know how to do ’em right. I reckon hit jest ain’t possible fer a body educated like you be to understand how such a woman raised like I've been don’t know. I’m as ignorant as an old razor-back hawg what growed up wild in the bresh without ever once even smellin’ cawn. Hit’s easy to see I got to begin I'arnin right

at the start or I won’t never git nowhars. I ain’t aimin’ to hold you down none, son, but you’d best tell me ’bout things as we go 'long so’s I’ll alius know what’s a-happenin’, an’ why. You see, I ain’t aimin’ fer nobody to make a fool out of your maw like them Lodge folks war a-figgerin’ to do with their Cinderella ideas.” The young man, with a laugh which he intended to be reassuring, patted her shoulder comfortingly. If the gesture was a shade condescending, he did not mean it so, and certainly there was nothing but affectionate admiration in his voice. “You are a wonder, mother. Honestly, I have never seen anyone with such poise. You’ve got the best of them standing at attention. I’d like to see anyone try to ridicule you. It simply can't be done.” The mountain woman was as pleased as a girl with her first compliment. “Be you sure 'nough a-thinkin’ that away, son?” “Do I think? I tell you I know. From the minute you stepped aboard the train at Wilderness Station you’ve had everybody kotowing. When you get some real clothes and become a little used to city ways you’ll be a wow.” “I don’t know nothin’ ’bout bein’ a wow,” she returned, doubtfully. “I don’t even know what hit is. But I sure hope you’re right if that’s what you’re a-wantin’ me to be. Hit’s jest like I told you, son: with all the money I got now I aim fer you to have everything a man educated like you be ought to have. You can go as far as you like so long as you keep headed in the right direction, which I ain’t noways afeard of you not doin’, an’ I’m fixin’ to go right along with you.” She smiled happily. “I’m sure proud if you think mebbe I can keen in sight.” (To Be Continued) Ccpyrifht. 1931. by Harold Bell Wrlrht.

Ann and Nance were at a window, looking down on the street below and away over the wilderness of buildings. “Hit’s plum’ awful, ain’t hit?” muttered Nance. “Not a tree ner a bush ner a hill ner nothin’—jest folks an’ automobiles an’ cars an’ buildings, fer as a body can look. How in Gawd-a-mighty’s world do you reckon they ail make out to live? Hit sure beats me.” “Shucks!” returned Ann. “Hit’s all in the way a body looks at hit. .Me, I’m a-honin’ to git right down thar amongst ’em an’ rustle ’round with the best. Hit’s Gaud’s truth, Nance, I’m a-feelin’ thirty year younger a’ready. I reckon if hit warn”t fer Herb I'd be plum’ fool-ish—a-steppin’ high. like’s not, an’ a-gettin’ into all sorts of trouble—nice interestin’ trouble. I mean. Whoo-ee! All this hyear’s sure a tong way from the Pine Knob neighborhood—hit sure is!” “Hit’s all right fer sich as you an’ Herb, mebbe,” returned Nance, dolefully “but I’ve seen enough right now to know I can’t never stand hit. I’ll jest curl up an’ die sure.” “You’ll be all right soon’s I git us a real place to live,” returned Ann. Nance looked at her with fresh alarm. “What be you a-meanin’ by that’” “I mean as how I aim to git weuns a sure-’nough house, with bedrooms dow-n close to the ground, an’ our own automobiles, an’ our own help what don’t have to be tipped every time a body turns ’round, an’ whar we-uns can say who’s to come in an’ who ain’t. I can see right now these hyear hotels ain’t made to live in; they’re jest places to stop at till a body can git somewhars else.” “Huh!” retorted Nance. “Mebbe you’ll say whar you ’low to find sich a thing’s a sure-’nough house in sich a Gawd-awful place as this.” “You don’t need to fret yourse’f none. I’ll find hit soon’s me an’ Herb gits a chance to look ’round t bit. Mebbe Herb won’t like this city 'nough to settle dow-n hyear. Mebbe we-uns’ll jest up an’ move on. You can’t tell, we-uns might go fai as New York. Hit all depends. First thing you an’ me’s got to git us some clothes. I aim fer us to look like John Herbert’s wimmenfolks ought to look.” Nance looked around uneasily. “Be you plum’ certain thar’s money 'nough, Ann? I never seen nothin' like the way you’re a-spendin’. You done paid six dollars jest fer what we-uns et at one meal on the train 1 seed you. These hyear rooms must be costin yov a sight. I’ll bet they ain’t a mite less’n two dollars apiece." Ann laughea, “Shucks! I reckon as how I could buy this whole she bang right out if 1 wat a-wantin’ to bother with hit.’ She continued with a show of impatience: “You jest can’t seem to git hit into your dumb haid. Nance, that what old uohn Haskel done lef* was a real fortune. Hit ain’t no measly little smell of money, hit’s nigh onto two million An’ that’s more'n some kings has got.” “Mebbe I can’t sense how much twe millions of money is,” Nance »-etorted, grimly, “but I know good ar.’ well when hit’s found out what you done to git hit, an’ made me do- • ” She halted and shrank back from the danger lights which flashed in hei mountain companion’s eyes “) ain’t meanin’ no harm, Ann--nonest to Gawd I ain’t meanin’ to tell nothin’." The telephone rang. The two backwoods women stared a the instrument “My Gawd-a-mighty!” wailed Nance, “thar hit comes right now. That thar’s a warnin’ set we-uns to git ready fer the police.” “Shet up!” snapped Ann. “No matter what 'tis—if you open your fool mouth I’ll pee) your scalp if hit’s the last move I make. “I reckon we-uns best git Herb.”

she added as the beii repeated the call. “He'll know bow to work the thing.” But even as she spoke, the door ’ to her son’s room opened and the young man entered. While the two > backwoods women watched with . breathless interest he went to the . instrument > “Hello! .. . This is Mrs. Haskel’s son speaking. . . . What is your J business with my mother, Mr. , Belden?” With quick decision Ann crossed the room and placed her hand on ! her son’s arm. “Wait a minute, ■ Herb. If anybody 'lows they got ! business with me, ~ I’ll do the 1 talkin’.” ; Smiling, the young man silently ’ passed the receiver to his mother. "Hah!” cried Ann, with childish ; delight and wonder. “Sounds like he war right hyear in this room. ’ Bcatin’est thing I ever see. Wai, scat my cats!” 1 “Answer him, mother,” whis--1 pored John Herbert. “Say something or he'll hang up.” i “Yes—sure, this is me,’ she , shouted into the instrument. i “Not so loud—not so loud!” • laughed her son. ) “Sure,” said Ann, “this hyear’s Ann Haskel. You can’t see me. but ; I’m sure right hyear a-talkin’ to [ you. . , . Belden, heh? . . . Never hyeard tell of you that I recollect. t ... Whar be you? . . Right down- , stairs? . . .

You ought ’ to try hit once, Nance; hit’s past > all-git-out.” “But, mother, who is this man Belden and what does he want?" ! “I’ll find all that out when he 1 gits up hyear whar I can take a : look at him," returned Ann. “That’s ’ one thing this hyear telephone can’t ■ do--show you what the body doin’ ’ the talkin’ looks like. Mostly you [ can go more on folks’ looks than i you can on their talk.” . “You must be careful, mother, k about receiving every Tom, Dick. ; or Harry that wants to interview . you. There will be all sorts of i people trying to impose upon you.” i “Like's not he’s one of these t hyear detectives you hyear about, or mebbe a policeman or a reve- . nuer,” said Nance. “You ain’t got r no call to take sich chances, Ann. ’ ’Tain’t safe.
