He was a pacer, a stalker, and he was pacing now between the windows, halting only long enough to jab out a cigaret as he passed an ashtray. His hair was thin and beginning to turn gray and he coaxed, mousy wisps over the balding places, pasting it down with stuff in away his sister thought revolting. All that George earned he spent on clothes, which were always a shade too natty for Maude’s taste. She admitted to herself that she had never cared greatly for George, though site wanted him to do well because all her family owed it to Elihu to do welt "For -goodness sake, sit down!” she greeted him. "Elihu’s taking a shower.” “He'd better make it snappy. We’ve got an hour and 40 minutes and we have to go to Meridian hill to pick up the Mapes woman. And you know what traffic will be this timg of day.” He was peevish. He lit another cigaret, snapping his lighter several times, then finally resorting to a match. "You should go, too, George. You should go and see Mama.” "What for? Mama hasn't written me a line in a year. Not since Christmaa She's busy. She’s happy." "They're... getting old. They’re both past 70. They might be sick and not let us know. I’ll make Elihu promise to run out there. I ought to send them something but there isn’t time now.” She moved off vaguely. George always made her feel vague, unfinished, confused. That was because they had nothing in common except their birth and neither cared particularly to remember the fact of having been born to the same parents. Wendell had been so different.

would wear always the haunting luster of the lost. She had always been jealous of his wife, Estral, but she would never be silly enough to be jealous of any woman who was so stupid as to marry George. It was unlikely npw that any woman ever would. Elihu came down, carrying his bag. Maude noted that he puffed a little and that his clothes looked too tight for him, his shirt collar lost in a fold of pink flesh, his hat already marking a hot ridge on his waxy forehead. He kissed her perfunctorily. Maude stood in the open door and watched the car as it roared out through the gate. A little green roadster had halted, waiting beyond the gate to let it pass. A horn tooted farewell, then the roadster slid in over the gravel and came to a quick stop beside the house. . The girl who got out, twisting past the open door in lithe fashion, had sleek dark hair brushed back, golden legs beneath a full plaid skirt and impatient, merry brows above violet eyea This was Quincy Houk. “And where,” she asked, "is the senator off to now?" Maude frowned, closing the screen behind them. “Your uncle,” she said with faint reproach, "is flying home tonight" "What’s he going after?" questioned Quincy blithely. L. "I’m not aware that ho is going after anything." "Oh, Uncle Elihu is always after something. Where would we be—all the greedy tribe of Houks and Storeys—if he'Weren’t?” “I’m going out," snapped Maude. "You girls will have to fix your own supper." • • • For two days Penn had been restless and disturbed. And now Quincy was being a nuisance. There were times when Penn was irritated at her twin sister. True, Quincy had a kind of vividness, but it was purely feminine beauty, accented in a very female fashion. “You’re getting crows’ feet, scowling so often,” Quincy said, lying back on the bed, her legs crossed in coral silk breeches, bright green mules dangling from her painted toes. "Where you get the fantastic idea that it’s intellectual to look mad all the time—it's spoiling your looks.” "I’m not mad all the time." Penn was drying her hair, twisting it in a towel so that her face had a stark, undefended and very young look. "Merely because I don’t go around grinning you decide I'm angry about something.

“Oh, I do," declared Qutn cy. “The whole world amuses me. It's so full of hilarious cartoons of people. Take Uncle Elihu. We know he’s a sweet old phony who cares less for the people back home who send him to the Senate than we db, and we know that the only reason he hasn’t jut his whole family oh the federal payroll is because he doesn't want an investing committee from the hostile party after him. He's a lamb, but to my mind he's got less real ethics than a June bug.” “I hate that kind of talk.” Penn shook out her black hair, ran a comb through it with vigorous jerks. “I love Uncle Elihu. But he does give me K guilt complex—l suppose because I profit by everything he does, because I have to be a complacent dependent. Rutherford says he’s a symbol of decadence.” “Oh, Rufe! If Uncle EUhu’s a symbol, so is Rufe. Os the decadence of American manhood,” snorted Quincy. “The thing that bothers me la that you and I are caught in a web of dependency. If there’s anger In me it's because I haven’t got the strength of character to fight out of it.” Quincy rolled on an elbow and lighted a cigaret "I'm not so noble. I adore being dependent I like being comfortable. I like presents and things. Why don't you go back out to the prairie and live with grandma if you’re so' irked by all this luxury? Grandma would let you bathe in a washtub and help her can tomatoes.” "I don’t go because weak character. And so are you, and that’s Uncle Elihu’s crime against us, that he’s made all his family weak characters. Look at Gregg—look at Rufe. Os course Gil does stand on his own feet somewhat.” "Just what I said. Caricatures of people! But I don’t agree about GiL What would he have been if Uncle Elihu hadn't wangled an appointment at Annapolis for him? Another frustrated misfit in some inconsequential job or other, like Gregg, like Rufe.” "At least Gil had enough in him to go on from there.” Fenn twisted her hair into little anchovies and speared each with a bobby pin. "It that brainless little beauty Gil married doesn’t ruin his career.” “You were always slightly soft about Gil, I remember,” Quincy said. "I like Winifred. She's so utterly and naively normal.” “She doesn’t love Gil,” persisted Fenn. "She resents the Navy.” "Because the Navy is Gil's first love and she knows it.

Check Presented To Mrs. Fritz Lehr Over $l,lOO Fund For Widow, Son Mrs. Fritz Lehr, widow of the young Adams county man electrocuted June 18 as he moved a small building onto his* lot In Union township, received a check Friday afternoon from the Chamber of Comjnefce for $1,126.83, from the Fritz Lehr Fund, started by the Chamber in June. Mrs. Lehr received the money from Fred E. Kolter, secretary of the Chamber, Ron Parrish, Chamber president, and M. J. Pryor, vice-president. The check was presented at the First State Bank in the presence of Herman Krueckeberg, bank representative, and the Rev. W. C. Vetter, pastor of the Lutheran church, of which Mrs. Lehr is a member. Lehr, a 26-year-old former displaced person who was brought to this country by the Immanuel Lutheran church in the spring of 1952, was an employe of Klenk’s in ’Decatut, and very active in church affairs. He was electrocuted when a shed he was moving on a truck caught On a telephone wire. When he removed the wire, it sprung high in the air, catching him and throwing him into high tension wires about ten feet above the telephone line. The Fritz Lehr fund was started several days after the accident by the Chamber, on the urging of many of the local merchants. Lehr had left his wife and one son with almost no funds, and no relatives in this country. This payment represents the closing of the fund, which has been managed by Kolter. At the same time, Kplter announced the following donations, which had not been previously reported: Ira 80die......$ 1.00 Mr. and Mrs. Otto Koeneman........ 2.00 - Mr. and Mrs. Aiken 2.00 - A Friend 5.00 , A Friend .40 - Preble Sunny Circle 1(1.00 i i Total ..$1,126.83 1 Trade in a Good Town — Decatun

Penn wonders what would become of the Storey family should her uncle’s life or political career suddenly end. CHAPTER FOUR PENN went to the mirror and spent a moment getting her part straight Her back was turned, she flung her next remark behind her with cool deliberation. “Winifred doesn’t love Gil because she's in love with someone else.” ... . "With who?" Quincy jerked upright her heels hitting the floor. "How do you know?” she demanded. "I think it’s quite obvious, when you see them together. She’s not only resenting Gil and his Navy job all the time but she’s comparing him with somebody else to his disadvantage. Sooner or later I’U know who it is.” “A female Mike Hammer in the family!" jeered her sister. “You’d be pleased if they did bust up, wouldn’t you ?” “It would grieve me to see Gil hurt, but your insinuations that I’m soft about Gil have about as much foundation as the rest of your ideas. Anyway, Gil is like Uncle Eiihu, entirely complacent He’ll never notice what* she's up to," Penn said. —r — “He should,have married Kelly," mused Quincy. “She’d see no evil but if she did see it it Wouldn’t matter." “Kelly,” Penn stated firmly, ‘“is the one wholesome person in the Storey tribe beside GIL She hasn’t made a leech of herself like the rest of us. She got herself a good job and went to work—the thing you and I ought to do. We aren’t getting bg on that little income from daddy's insurance.” Quincy said: “You know Uncle Eiihu wants it that way. He likes dispensing largess.” “Kelly had courage chough not to want to be just another Storey parasite and "I admire her for it. Look at Gregg, always borrowing, bringing notes around to be endorsed. Look at you and me!" , "I like looking at me.” Quincy poised in front of the mirror studying her eyebrows. Her eyes shone through the sooty tangle of her lashes. Her piquant face always looked a little enchanted, as though she were about to glimpse something entirely magical and exciting. Her skin was clear, of the same ivory tint as her sister's, the sort of skin that did not tan or freckle, and she had a soft, impudent mouth. In Penn, that identically shaped mouth was always drawn a trifle too straight. "Why,” demanded Quincy, approving what Conraahi. IDi*. hr Annie

she saw, “can't that stupid idiot discover that I’m a decent-looking female ? Now, if I were the broody type like you, with a lot of anxieties and grievances sticking out like quills to stand a man off, there would be some excuse for his soggy attitude.” ‘ 1 ; , '•”"1 hope you know what you’re talking about,” snapped. Penn, jabbing in the last bobby pin. Tm talking about Yates Underwood, the slippery prawn! He was supposed to take me across the river to see Rufe’s show tonight, so what does he do? Calls up and says he lias to get some poisonous brief ready for court tomorrow.” Penn hung a yellow cap over her hair. “Naturally Yates has to do what he’s a very Junior junior in that firm and junior juniors take orders from the senior seniors. Yates, I surmise, makes about $3,000 a year. Uncle Elihu’S secretary gets more than that.” "Oh, but precious old Claudia has been around forever. She flew west with Uncle Eiihu tonight.” • • • Penn went down the stairs to the library, turned on a desk light and spread her papers out on the blotter. Then with an abrupt gesture she pushed them into a jumble, pressed her knuckles into her forehead. Something had seemed wrong ever since the night before last, when young Marsh Nichols had scowled at her, refusing her help, implying with brusque coldness that he wanted nothing to do with her or of any of the Storey family. It was stupid to be so resentful and troubled at being ignored by a stranger, and a rude stranger at that. It was stupid to have the feeling she had now about this house; though Marsh Nichols, Junior, had left some part of himself behind in the plate where he had been born, some reproachful, hostile, homesick ectoplasm that haunted the rooms and hated the people Who lived in them. That Marsh Nichols was young and engaging in a brusque sort of way, she told herself fiercely, had nothing to do with it. Last spring, when they had draped a bachelor’s hood around her shoulders, she had resolved that men were never going tp complicate her life. Everything had been arranged then. She would study hard all summer, she would take the diplomatic exams next spring, get Into some branch of service whero a cool-headed young woman who spoke Russian could do something important. It had been a goal set with rigidity, the same grim control she had put on herself ever since that day, five years ago, when her cousin Gilbert Storey announced his engagement to Winifred, the blonde daughter of an under-sec-retary in the state department. From the moment when the orphaned Houk twins, leggy and slim as dark young colts, had come into the Storey household Penn had known a secret adoration for Gil, 10 years older than she was. She remembered her desolation during his two years of sea duty and some of the letters she had written hliii. loa-Leßlury-UrofU. Inc. Lutributod hr

A fear that woke her sometimes in the night was that Winifred might some time find one of those letters. Upstairs, Quincy had a radio blaring. Penn closed the library door and set her uppers firmly in order. Determinedly she attacked the exercise before her. After an hour or two she heard a ear atop outside, and voices in the back hall. Then the door opened a crack and Winifred's big - eyes blinked at her. “Here’a Penn—being studious,” she called over her shoulder. Maude opened the door wide. “Hello, darling. We're home.* We’re going to make coffee. Come along | and help us.” "Thank you—l really should finish this,” Penn hedged, hoping none of the turmoil of her evening’s brooding showed on her face, hoping she could manage to be nice to Winifred. But Winifred was gaily unaware. She closed the book under Penn’s hand with a slap, pulled at the girl's arm. “Come along. Leave all that morbid stuff to the Bolsheviks." “How was the play?” Penn followed Winifred into the kitchen. "Wonderfully . well done,” do- 1 dared her aunt, spooning coffee into the percolator. “But slightly corny, Maude, dear, you must admit,” put in Winifred. "Poor Rufe did wonders with what he had, but the play was strictly turkey." ' "Was Kelly there?" Penn asked. “Oh, yes, she Unimpressed. She's coming out with Rufe." "And will you see about the beds i upstairs, Penn dear?" asked her aunt. “They’re all spending the night. I don’t know if the sheets have been changed since Gregg and his-family were here over Labor day.” Penn went dutifully up the stairs. The rooms were hot and she flung up the windows and turned down three beds. They wcr« in order, she was glad to discover. Somebody would have to get up early to get breakfast for Kelly. Penn decided that she would do it Kelly was noisy and brisk and handsome in a fulsome sort ol way. She gave the pillow Kellj would sleep on an extra pat. Is • the other room, she frowned at th« bed Winifred Storey would occupy. Winifred should lie there till noon, then trail down in somebody's borrowed negligee to drink a lot ol black coffee and smoke cigareta while down in the hot city Gil would make his own breakfast in their little apartment. The httle pain still stabbed at Penn when she thought of Gil. Th« other Storey sons were not sandy as he was, nor did they have hu boyish manner. Gregg and Rutherford were dark like the Houks Each had an air of sardonic insolence that Penn, too shrewd sometimes for her years, suspected was a mask they wore to hide a secret panic at their own inadequacies She went down the stairs slowly not wanting very much to see Rutherford. Rufe, with his dry, barbed tongue, his humor that always verged on cruelty. /To Be Continued) Kms Fssuuss ftradMaia, .W: r
