CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT The following morninc Gabrieli* | went down to her bank, drew out | five hundred dollar* and transferred the remainder In ita entirely to her .mother. i Thu don* she drove out to the field* where the Snow Que- n wa» about to come In. where the Snowball was struggling in its last death throe*, where h<' father'* men were struggling to save some valuable equipment She found Sam smoking near the i Snowball, watchinc a* the n>»n tried all the device* known to them to finish with thia well. It was perfectly •afe for ham to be smoking clow by; th* poor Snowball waa quite b*rren i of oil. , "My business la all taken care of, . Daddy," she announced a* she came up beside him. "If you're aa wise a* I’ve always thought you were, youll borrow some money from Mother 1 without having to bother with interi est. Me—" she laughed. “well. I'm almost broke myself. But l’v* a Daddy to care for me when I need it, and a rich Mother!” "Gaby! You shouldn't have!" > "Oh, don’t lecture. Daddy! I feel | happier than I have in ever so long. I I feel free. You know what I’m goI ing to do, Mister whether it’* unladylike, or not?" "The good Lord knows!” he stated fervently. "I'm going to write Peter tonight ' and tell him I’m coming this week—in time for the Friday night hroadi cast. If he doesn't want me I’m going to go anyway." That night, in the seclusion of her room, Gabrielle penned a letter to Peter, then another, and then another. She tore each of them up in shreds by turn; »he couldn't seem to say what war. In her heart without sounding either foolishly sentimental, or else hopelessly b»**y. t Finally, on h«r fourth attempt she . achieved what she decided would do. She had written: "Peter dear:— "l‘m coming to *ee you next Fri- ' day I’ll arrive about the middle of the afternoon, and I do hope you can meet me. "Daddy’s worried einreesicn i* -xplahmd at last and, I hope, taken care of. It was money, Peter, which after all seams to be moot people’s troubles. I’ve given my parents almost all of my inheritanco from Uncle Gabe. I have renewed only enough to make my trip to New York. I feel wonderful about it, Peter. Think of my being able to help my father now, when h*’s always given me everything I wanted all my life! "No mor* now, but you might let me know whether you’ll meet me, and you might have a ticket for me too, because I’m really making th* trip to see you perform, you know! ’ i As ever, Gabrielle." She put on her heavy eoat and •lipped quietly out of her room, hoping her parents wouldn’t hear her. In one hand she carried her letter and purse, in the other. Odd. Gaby backed out of the drive aa subtly aa she could, wiahing ahe had taken her mother’s new sedan instead of her father’s old ene, Th* cold made it backfire, bat she beard no windows being opened and ah* •aw no lights come on.
