chapter FIFTY I f ’ MISTRESS SABRINA returned § Rhoda. Toby had set off tor shipyard. Jennet dropped , vn wearily tn a corner of the tie, ihivered. The fire on the hearth had died down; candles had\ sputtered out. Daylight came, thin arid cold through the windows. Even her anger at Richard, at those stupid men who had taken Quint away, did not warm her. Suddenly the door swung open and Erron strode in, Toby behind him. Jennet I ran to him, clung to him. “Errorj! Oh, Erron!" Then, as quickly as she had flung herself at him: she drew away. He saw her whiter strained face. "What all’s happened T Toby couldn’t get out no more than that I was to come here, quick..." , She had to tell him —first, of Richard’s appearing tout of the storm with Rhoda. “She’s up tn her room —dreadfully ill from exposure. Sabrina’s with her. Then Richard stole my horse. Then .. i" she stopped, to control a need to cling to him; again ... “they came —a horrid little man and—and that Cordy Mosedale—and some soldiers andi arrested Uncle Quint! For aiding the enemy! OK, if you could have Seen his face when he went : tout Uje door." . “Os all the goddioin..." Erron broke off, : chs>4*rasscd. “Excuse me. Miss Jhnnet" Jennet’s I hands tightened into hard fists? "I say It too!” “Now, girl, everything’ll be all right. They’ll find they’re wrong. Soon as It's day I’ll go to the Buffalo village—there’s that Judge Merriam; —he’s a friend of Quint’s —l’ll talk tri him. Right n0w..." He pushed her firmly back and ' down on to the settle. “I’m going : to stir up this fire and cook us i some breakfast! Got eggs? Any | pork slices? Tell-me where I’ll' i find ’em.* q . Curled in her corner, she watched ' Erron rekindling the fire, putting I the pork slices over,' breaking the I eggs, his big hands moving com- | petently. It would be. nice, she i thought, drowsily, if Erron were ; her brother, instead of Richard... , She ate heartily. Erron grinned ,at her. “Like nly cooking, ..eh?” I She flushed a little under his look, i “Toby..." she said hastily, “He i must have some ofJLL Call him, , please," Erron did not return from the Buffalo Village until the middle of the afternoon. Jennet knew at once by his face that his mission had been unsuccessful “Didn’t you see Judge Merriam?" • "I saw him—but he says be can’t

do anything—that it’s in Caton’s hands. 1 tried to: talk to Caton — he wouldn’t listen to mu Reminded me — reminded me — that we were at war! 1 asked, to see Quint —they wouldn’t let me|!" Word of Quint’s all rest went quickly through the little settlement and men came iiio the taproom to protest loudly and profanely against it. Each was ready to swear on a Bible that Quint was as loyal as any of them. What did they expect a max with one arm could do? He’d been watched, had he? Cordy Mosedale, huh? That one would lie M ick as he’d steal! For days Qus tak went on but their defense of Quiht, staunch as it was, could pot release him. Erron had gone on ti> the ship-, yard soon after ibis return from Buffala But at dark he came into the kitchen. “I’m stayin £ the night here," he said to Jennet. He saw Her bps open to protest |t, and added, ’Tonight and every night. Miss Jennet... until Quint’s back." She did not want him to stay—they did not need him, s le declared to old Sarah, indignantly — and then found herself, the next night, waiting for his found it reassuring when she wsnt up the stairs, past Rhoda’s closed door, to her bedchamber to know he was down in the taproom. But he did not try to engage ter in talk, saying little mpre than good evening when he came in ind goodby when he left in the moining. Rhoda remained shut in her room. “But you said she was better,’’ protested Jennet. “Her body, yes." “You mean..Jenm st stopped, afraid to go on. I “The spirit, when it is sick, takes longer to heat" > Sabrina carried fool qp O»e stairs, opened the bedchi rnber door quietly, closed it. But one noontime Jennet met her outside of the door. '“Please let ia« take it in to her," she begged. Mistress Sabrina gave Jennet the tray? \ v Rhoda lay with her i ace to the wall. She did not moie or give any sign of knowing ahyone had comp into the room“Aynt Rhoda, here’s yoi ir dinner!" She Utmed het head sit the sound of Jennet’s voice And Jennet saw in her eyes someth ng of the terror that bad been in them the night she had stumbled in out of the storm.' , j .

Getting on the MacArthur bandwagon is making riome of the senators and congressmen do a fancy summersault./A few months ago these same men were opposed to sending tropps |o Korea and now in their backing of MacArthur they must ascribe to the General’s belief thbt all-out war should be declared against Communist China and North Koreans. They* still have their isolationist stripe, but at the mdment they want to ride with the former commander. They don’b love MacArthur any more than they do - Truman. ■ ■ ' r. i - Veto In America:— Statehood for Hawaii and Alaska has moved a few inches nearer. The Senate committee has recons mended for passage bills admitting them to the Union. The. nrixt task Is to get them on the senate, schedule of bills to be considered. Then comes the actual vote, arid \ following that a favorable action by the House, and signing by President Truman. The last step' is the only assured one, as the President has been steadily in favor of admitting both states. ‘ \ . FA The catch is to grit |he Senate to vote. A group <?f senators have declared their opposition ’ and their willingness to resort to the familiar weapon of filibustering to keep the majority from having its way. Their fear Is that four more senators would weaken their veto power, and no other'consideration is allowed to staiid Ip the way of that. There could begood arguments both ways on the question of granting thebe territories statehood. What is positive/ is that both houses should' be allowed to vote freely on questions of such importance, and should not allow; a small group to have a veto on proceedings. ‘

lovely through the summer—then were some morning giones climb' ing up to the window..." It sounded like babble to her ears but she was desperate to know what to say. "We kept hoping you’d come in time to See it." Rhoda did not speak, but Jennet saw her lips tremble for just an instant. She picked up the fork and began to eat, , “You don’t know about Becky's getting married, do you ? To Michael Duffy...” She sat down at] the toot of the. bed and told the story of Becky's romance. Rhoda went on eating, slowly her eyes on the plate of food. Jennet heard herself asking “Aunt Rhoda, did you come to despise my father and brother—as I do ?" Rhoda looked up, her dark eyes blazing. "Tea." “Then you know why I wanted to stay here with Uncle Quint' and you?” i ? : ' “Yes. 1 know. 1 thought you were a fool, but snow I know." Her lips trembled again and she put the fork down cn the plate. Jennet knew now what Sabrina had meant when she said Rhoda’s spirit was sick- Her pride had been broken: she had nothing to put in its place. She hadn’t knelt by her window since they had taken Quilnt away, but tonight she did. “You will be the stars to me, the moon, the whisperings of the forest..." But she could not find in Peter’s words the thrilling meaning they had had for- her before. A few days later Sabrina said she\ was going. “She’U do and there’re others who may be calling for me to come." Jennet wished Mistress Sabrina would make one of her prophetic pronouncements before she rode away. She said, a litUe choke tn her voice, “M istr es s Sabrina, everything is so wrong—you see ahead, sometimes—please tell me." “Your heart will tell you, child, but, you must learn to know it-” Then she turned and took the bridle from a peg. When Jennet went back Into the kitchen Rhoda was there, dressed, her hair, in, smooth braids, coiled around her head. Jennet's impulse was to run to her and embrace her but the way Rhoda was standing, as a stranger might, looking slowly around the room, discouraged it. “Where is your uncle?” asked Rhoda. Jennet’s heart sank. Os course, she did hot know.. . “And I have to tell her!" {To Be CoatinuedJ %
