CHAPTER FORTY-NINE MUSIC was proceeding from the feig sitting room of the O’Donnells' house, and Henri brightened a little at the thought that perhaps he would be asked to sing. While pressing the bell, he mee-mee-meed softly to himself. Heloise turned away to hide a smile. The door was opened by Betsy, a plain little girl in pigtails, with a huge red bow behind her head, and a scattering of freckles. Her manner was both dignified and cordial. \ “Why Cousin Heloise! And Cousin Henri! Everyone will be so glad you came,” she said. “Thank you, dear,” Heloise said, giving her a kiss. Henn patted her head pindly. Annette, meanwhile, came bustling into the hallway and • gave them the same warm welcome. "But you haven’t brought Leonie,” she said. “Oh, well, no doubt • she’s with some boy or other. It will soon be time for Betsy to be courted, I suppose.” This was a rather inauspicious beginning. “Leonie has her reasons for staying at home,” Heloise confided. “We’ll tell you all about it.” , Confident that the news was of an engagement, and naturally interested, Annette smiled knowingly and led them into the living room. Henry O’Donnell stood hospitably in the doorway. Miss Julie was sitting by the fire with a needle case she had been Working on, and the small boys were drawing. At. a nod from their mother, they stood respectfully, and the entire family acted as if Hbloise and Henri were the most thrilling arrivals in the world. ' ] ' “Good-evening, Heloise. Go o flevening, Henri,” said Miss Julie from the fireplace. “You young folks gallivanting around at this time of night?” \ > Henry O’Donnell, perhaps feeling that this sounded as though Miss Julie’meant that the hour was late, hastened to remedy the discourtesy; “Why, the evening is just beginning,” he said, expansively. “Sit right down by the fire. Miss Heloise. Mr. Henri, here’s a chair fqr you to warm your feet. 1 There was a good deal of almIdss palaver for a few < moments, \ and then Heloise said, "We have some very special news for you. I’d rather have it understood as a family secret right now. We haven’t told anyone else.” She had raised her voice/so that Miss Julie might hear too, and with one accord Henry O’Donnell, Annette, and Miss Julie beamed. “How nice,” Annette said. f 1 Seeing Heloise about to go on, Henn cleared his throat nervously. “Leonie has told us that she wants to become a nun.” Annette’s face fell; Henry looked startled: Miss Julie put down her . needle case. . You don’t tell m e,” she .exclaimed. “It’s a bit sudden, isn’t it?” “We were not exactly 1 prepared for it,” Heloise admitted. “It’s just a whim,” Henry O’Donnell said, flatly. “Girls get these notions once in a while. Just as boys want to be priests. I wanted to be one myself.” ' There was a general laugh at this. Even Miss Julie, to Whom Henry was a battleground between

Nothing special, outside of paying a call on the bride’s parents after the engagement has been announced, and to buy the bride as nice a wedding present as possible. It’s nice, too, for the man’s family to invite her and her

the devil and th|e true faith, was obliged to chuckle. “Leome’s not the first girl to be crossed m love and think she can nave her revenge by going into a convent," she said, with that genius for plain statement which was often so trying. “Naturally, you feel terrible about it” ! / "We are resigned, if it’s God’s will,” Henri said. “God’s will! Folderol,” said Miss Julie. "1 must say 1 never saw any signs of a vocation. Any gyirl that slouches like that one in, her pew is about as tar from a vocation as Ingersoll, it you want to know what 1 think.” “We have not encouraged her,” Heloise said, taking a less firm line, now that Miss Julie had spilled the beans. “At the same time, Brother and I don’t feel that we can stand tn her way.” “A good purge would probably change her mind,” said Miss Julie, still unconvinced that the breath of God had whispered in Loonie’s ear,. “Os course,” Annette said, “Ma is right. Gyirls do get the idea that they have to retire from the world when something goes wrong. I never felt happy about that Cab vert boy and Leonie, but it was none of my business.” Henry O’Donnell, as a connection and not a relative, had been tactfully silent, but he was nevertheless seething with Convictions. “If you allow me to offer, a sug- , gestion,” he said, “why not talk I this over with one of the older priests—” "Father Dodd,” Miss Julie sugi \gested. "1 wish 1 had gone to him about poor Tessie instead of talking to Father Mellon—“I ’think that’s a good notion. Henry," Heloise said, and Henn • remarked that it was exactly what he had thought of doing. No one nad yet said or even intii mated that, after all, it was a fine . thing for a girl to give herself to God in that way and a great blessing to her family, and Henri felt the urge to supply this lack. “As good Catholics,” he said, “we naturally should rejoice if one ’ of our family is ca 11 ed. to the cfiurch.” J“Of course,” Henry O’Donnell , said ironically. f "Naturally,” Annette said. "I would feel bad if it was my own ■ daughter, though. It’s not a thing i that’s easy to face.” I “1 don’t think you need to wori ry,” Miss Julie assured her. "All, the religion in any of your chil- , dren could be put into a mustard seed." ■ r “My children perform their , duties,” Annette retorted. “Their duties," said Miss Julie, i And she shook her head ominously. Henri cleared his tfiroat. , “Os I course, the situation is delicate," ■ he intoned. “We don’t want to say anything about it to anyone because we feel that if|Leonie’s mind ; is not completely made up, it may be mortifying to her to change it I if people have already begun to say that she had announced a vocation.” A \ ! The subtlety of this was lost on i Miss Julie. "It’s nothing to be I ashamed of, if that’s what you meafi." “I’m not ashamed of it, Cousin Julie,” Henn sard, with Some heat. I “I’m simply saying that we don’t

Asks investigation Os Camp Atrocities Repeats Acts Against Fellow Prisoners Washington, May 20 — (UP) — Senate Republican leader Styles Bridges disclosed, today that he has akked (he army to investigate Reports that hard-core Communists at \the tumultuous Koje Island prison <;amp have committed ’atrocities’'! against their non-Com-munist fellow prisoners. The New Hampshire Republican said he made the request at a private meeting yesterday with army secretary Frnak Pace, Jr., and choirman Lyndon B> Johnson (D-Tex.) of the senate preparedness subcommittee. | t Pace promised to submit a “full report” on the Koje Island revolt to the senate armed services committee by Thursday,- Bridges said. “Information has reached meant! other committee menYbers-T---that Communist prisoners have performed atrocities on prisoners who do not how embrace Communism,” Bridges told a reporter. Bridges described yesterday’s meeting with Pacfe as a “preliminary” report based on “sketchy” information now available. j ■ He said Pace has ordered Gen. Mirk, W. Clark to rush to Washington by plane a qopy of the secret report filed by? an army board wlhlch Conducted an on-the-spot investigation at Koje. The report deals with the capture by Koje prisoners of Brig. Gen. FYancis T. Dodd and concessions made by -Brig.' Gen. Charles F. Colson to obtain Dodd’s release. “Secretary Pace assured us that appropriate action will ba taken in the case of the two generals and in regard to the whole prison situation?’ Bridges said. He added that ‘Pace is withholding any , decision involving the future of podd and Colson “until the complete report is available.” “That is only fair.” Bridges said. Bridges said he also asked Pace to explain why “Russian, Chinese Communist and North Korean flags” were ; allowed to fly over Kdje’s prison compound. Pace's report Thursday will follow a similar one by Brig. Mat- ' thew B. Ridgway, new supreme European 'commander. Ridgway will tell the armed services committee toniorrow what -he knows aboit the Koje situation. 7 .. m t IN SERVICE J&A New Address Herman Everett has the following address, Pvt.

He found the room 1 chilly. s “Are you sure you’re wlrm < enough, child?” 1 t Leonie put aside her book. It t was not a volume ot the devo- t tional type he might nave expect- i ed under the circumstanties. “Why, certainly, uncle,” Leonie j said. “I’m trying to learn not to j indulge myself.” This evidence of her intentions . checked Henri’s enthusiasm a bit. . “But you’re not expected to give I yourself pneumonia,” ne objected. 1 Ledme shrpgged, ad it her physical health were the last thing to ’ be considered. “You don’t want to be down with 1 a cold when those friends or yours ( are nere,"/Henn added, out the * girl only sighed. Her expression ( said plainly that the entertain- f ment) of the McDevitt girls was 1 a interruption she meant ( to bear with fortitude. “And 1 nope you’re going to put 1 aside this matter ot a' vocation ' while they’re here," Henri went on. t “1 expect to nave a good time in a worldly way,” Leonie saih. “Be- s fore 1 take the final step that will i shut me away from pleasures forever. 1 suppose it would be all I right to See what the world has s to offer.” “N 6 harm at all,” Henri said. I “In fact, 1 think you are very $ wise. Very wise. 1 think you ought, to know what the world nas to t pffer before you renounce it.” s “There’s no use trying to per- c suade me to change my mind," t Leonie said firmly. “Besides, I’d like to call your attention to the fact that interfering with anyone’s vocation is a sin against the Holy Ghost." \ . - “Thank you for instructing me t in my religious duties," Henri said drtly. “And may 1 call your at- i tention to the fact that disrespect to gyuardians is a sin against the c Fourth Commandnient ?” c “You’re right, Uncle. I’m sorry.” / “Now,” Henri said, earnestly, “I j want to make you an offer—a sug- 1 gcstlon. 1 want you to promise me • that ybu’ll consider It carefully.” r He thought Leonie’s eyes lighted I up briefly. But; she said, “There’s t no use talking to me about Lih- e coin, Uncle. That’s over and gone,” 1 has zxothins: to do with!

"We want to give you time to think over this matter of a vocation. No, let me finish. Before you decide to give up the world, it’s our feeling that, as you Say, you might see a little more of it. If you’ll promise me Lo say nothing about your intentions to anyone, and to tpke at least six months before you decide. I’ll give you a trip to New York.” “That’s a bribe,” Leonie skid, but she sat up with something like interest. “No, it isn’t. We don’t intend to interfere with your decision. But we wgnt you to have a change and think it over.” “It will cost a great deal,” Leonie objected. “Never mind. We promised you that trip to Virginia, and this won’t Cost much more. Antoinette has a relative in New York-r-not a very Close relative’,” he added, for hp did not want to do Antoinette the injustice of suggesting that she had close Northern relatives — “and I’m sure she’ll agree to keep ah eye on you. New York is a very dangerous city and 1 don’t think you ought to be all alone.” Lponie hesitated. “1 wonder,” she said slowly, “if it would be right.” “1 can’t she why it wouldn’t. Did you make a vow to enter the Sisterhood at any certain time?” “No. But I’ha wondering now if I really ought to allow myself to see the world. I be tempted." “Oh, 1 doubt that," Henri said hypocritically. “Now, don’t answer too quickly. You think this over, too. And it will be a sort of birthday present.” He moved toward the door. ) “Just a minute, Uncle.” Henri waited. “I’ll do it,” Leonie told him. “Good," Henri said. He went bver and patted her head, - “How long could I stay?" Leonie inquired. “I’ll give you a certain amount of money,” Henri said. “1 think I can manage five hundred dollars, And you can arrange the length of your stay by how long the money lasts.” , t i “Why, I could stay a cbuple of jnhnths on that,” Leonie said. Henri was disappointed. He had thought she could stay at Least six. “If I didn’t get too reckless,” Leonie added. “You make your clans.” Henri

said. "I ll talk to your aunt." “It will nave to be after the girls go . back." 1 /- “Well, j there’s no hurry,” Henri said. He went in to tell Heloise, who received the news of his triumph calmly.. "It will get her away,” Henri said jubilantly, "and it win divert her mind. It might clear up everything.” “But you’ll ruin yourself, Brother. You’ve already spent—” "This is more important,” Henri insisted. He did not think it neces- - sary to tell her that he meant to borrow the money on his insurance policy. * * * The McDevitts had arrived and had been bestowed in the bleak rooms of Antoinette’s house. Heloise and Henri had been to call, and Annette O’Donnell, and now the McDevitts were invited to dinner in Coming street. Henri felt generally pleased with the state ot affairs. The guests he had recommended had not fallen too far below Antoinette's standard. He was in good voice and expected, when called upon, to perform at his best. He was looking forward, too. to the pleasure of hospitality. It was the first time in over four years that they had invited guests for dinner. It was more trouble for Heloise than he realized. There was, ot course, the question ot expense and quantity — the, ; McDevitts did not look ascetic. And there was the problem of Queenie, who after many years ot cooking for them had become .confirmed tn her ways and somewhat negligent. “1 declare, it’s provoking,” she told Henri, not altogether angrily; for Queerue amused ner. “Every time 1 ask that woman about a dish she just grunts, or says she can do it well enough. 1 thought we might have ham and tomato pilau and gateau~patate.
