CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT I hsd a very good reason for changing my tact.e* with regard to Harry Craven but it was a reason I didn't want anyone to know; not even Mr. Craven. So when Kobe, acting now a* houseboy, instead of valet, tapped softly at my door nnd told me Mr Craven wax downstairs, I put down my little blue diary, powdered my nose and put on my smdingest face. Right now, I wanted to make Mr. Craven like me. So I fixed up my hair and dabbed lipstick on and added perfume behind tny ear*. He met me at the living room door and took both my hands in his, •nd his sharp, black eyes looked deep into mine—and since I was putting on an act in liking him, 1 couldn't help feeling that he gave me good support. He had a carnation in his buttonhole, and his gray suit was nicely pressed, and altogether he was dressed for the part of a gentleman making an afternoon call. I wondered how much—if any—information I was goiag to get out of him. and I smiled as engagingly as I knew how. Harry said all the conventional things. How he'd sympathized with us in all we'd gone through, how he'd seen us at the inquest in San Francisco, but felt it kinder not to intrude on our grief. I just Ist my hands stay in hi* and looked up into hi* eyes while he said them. He asked after Martha. “She's up at the stable*. Tbe winter show season is coming on, you knew, and she has been away a let lately. She has several entries she's counting on.” “And Lance?” “He's off somewhere with the sheriff. It's rather lonesome.” I expected Harry to ria* to my bait. But I didn't look for him to swallow it so immediately. He pulled me down beside him on the davenport, still holding both my hand* in his, and burst into such an outpouring of affection as I never heard before—nor since. “Ever since you came to Castaway, Gerry, I've been so erazy about you that 1 can't think about anything else ... your courage .. . your loyalty ~. your charm." He almost ran out of breath, and I wanted to say, “Oh yeah?” but didn't “You're wonderful. You're the most beautiful girl in the world! I adore you. Gerry—" “Now, now, Harry—" But be ran oa—“Listen, dear, I'm almoet certain that the directors of the company are going to make me manager in Gregg’s place — after all, I've been filling it for months —sc I can ask you now." "Ask me what?" I blurted. "Ask you to marry me We could drive to tbe city today. Fly to Reno, be married tonight. Say you will, Gert?— if you only knew how 1 love "All thia ia terribly flattering, Harry. You're mighty nice to feel thia way—but you don't tove me and you know I don't love you." "But I do, Gerry. 1 do I want to take care of yew. And IU buy yeti everything you want " 1 bad otartod to play a game with Harry Crave* to s*e how moth | coaM Bed out ebon* krnwethu* I had to know. How coukj I think it would get out of hand Hke the? ‘Don't be foolish. Harry. We hardly know each ether." A

I "But I know you. 1 tell you I've been wild about you ever since the . first day you came to Castaway.” It was as though he had memorized a part. It rang false. I was beginning to be embarrassed. Suppo*e Martha came in—or Lanee in the midst of thia fervid scene. I pulled myself away, slipped my hands from his grasp. “Let's stop thia pretense, Harry. You don’t love me, you know it and I know it and there's no reason why you should. You aren't fooling me one bit—” The expression on his face changed—ever so slightly—but 1 saw it change. “I'm sorry,” he said. “Sorry if 1 have offended you.” “You haven’t offended me. Let's forget it ever happened. I am sure you had some reason for asking me —and thank you for the compliment if it was a compliment. But the answer is—No!" He lowed, stiffly, and left the room I heard bis ear drive away. And I stood at the window, looking out over the ocean, until .Martha came home. I was trying to figure it out. Why had he asked me to marry him? What did he want? Should I mention it to Martha ? Or keep it secret aad see rs events gave me the answer to the puzzle? Between us, Harry Crave* and me, stood a stalemate. I waated infsnaatfos from him. I had been willing to act a friendliness I did not feel in order to get that, information. And he had been willing to pretend a >w« for me that I was certain he did not feel. But what for? The more 1 wontiered, th* less I could tel) the answer. I waa still wondering when I -anee rang from Gallina. “There's a bird here that's being held by the constable for questioning. He answers the description of a hobo that called at Durfee's hou.-e one morning last week and caused some trouble, threatening to get even with Durfee when he ordered him off the place. We want to look into it. Will you be afraid if we don't come home early?" "Certainly not,” I replied. “11l ask your aunt." ' Lance wants to know it youll be afraid here if he aad Sydney stay late in Gallina?" Martha laughed. “Tell him I've lived here alone before he waa born and now that I've got him back from the city. I'm not afraid of anything." I repeated her message. Lance said they might be very late, to call them at the sheriff’s effi*e if we needed them, and hung up. We talked a while in Mart he’s sitting room before the fire and it was not late when I told her good night and went upstairs to my little room at tbe end of the eemdor. I am Mt timid but it was lonesome to paaa EstoUe's room with the door closed. To know that Ute would never open it again.
