CHAPTER SIXTEEN THE REVEREND Gairdncr took a deep pull oa hia pipe but it was dead. ••Picture, if you can, this bitter boy. The one thing ho had ever loved — hia mother — gone. First, taken from him by this tall stranger and now irrevocably lost. 1 feared be would resent the infant, feeling she had been the cause of BeDe’a death but he didn’t. As soon as it was possible, he and Cricket brought the little thing back home to raise and —would you believe it—Anson seemed to transfer his affections to the child, partly 1 suppose because she was all he had left of his mother. There Dana was raised, up on that wild mountain by her half brother Anson and old Cricket, who some unsympathetic people say is still kept in ignorance of the Emancipation Proclamation. Actually, she is a well-meaning old soul dedicated to all Metcalfs, past and present, and I think she’d Lay down her life for Young Anson.” “So the girl’s name is Dana Harrison,” I said. “No,” he said, stretching, "Harrison is her father’s first name. She is Dana Purcell.” It almost jolted me off my chair. My mind was chewing at something. Dona Purcell. Harrison—- " Harrison Dana Purcell T” I said. “Is that it? The NATO deputy?" He nodded. "Made a career of the diplomatic service,” he said. "He was here to see me last spring —about Dana. After Belle’s death he tried to keep in touch with the baby—money, birthday presents, that sort of thing. You may ask why he hadn’t raised the child. Re?' member, there he was, alone, stunned by the loss of hia wifa Rather than put the baby with strangers it seemed logical that she should be raised on the Metcalf place—you know, family servants, the half brother. Or so Harrison thought. He didn’t know his stepson. Harrison was on a tour of foreign duty and during the war lost touch. He had remarried but it wound up In divorce. All this swept him further from his daughter." His ehair creaked as he tilted back. "I hadn’t seen him since the day 1 read Belles funeral service. When he turned up here last spring the years had left their mark on hun. Not that he still wasn’t straight as a ramrod, just as suave, but now bls hair was snowy white.” He ran his hand over his own smooth pate. "Harrison had always been a bit vain, I thought. It is one of those personal opinions you have and keep to yourself, like your own idea of Bach. Be that as it may, he had received this letter from his daughter that stirred up old emotions. Dana had come across his picture tn a magazine

and from the middle and last names realized it must be her father. Anson always vehemently refused to discuss her father with her but, being the age when a young girl feels the need of family stability and finding the prospect of having such a colorful father as Harrison Dana Purcell romantic, she wrote him through the State department. Her letter delighted him and as soon as he got back to the States he looked her up.” “That must have been a rather touching thing,” 1 said. "Unfortunately it was less than happy.” He Knocked his dead pipe Into his coffee dregs. "Harrison came directly here from the Metcalf place. He had been shockvM, after his chic diplofriallc set to find hia daughter an untamed barbarian’ as he put it. With nis deep feeling of the right thing to do, he was consumed with a tardy sense of parental responsibility tor this girl. There is so much. Yoke,’ he said, 1 can and must do for her. | Cultural advantages she has missed. I’ll show her the world and, above all, get her out of that mouldering place back there in the woodh.’ He had insisted that she leave with him at once. For the girl it was confusing—she wanted to be with her newly-found father and at the same time couldn’t face giving up the life she loved, the place that meant nome. Harrison wouldn't admit it, but naturally Dana has a certain affection for Anson, queer as he is. As for Anson —there a been a scene. He ordered Hamson off the place under threat of turning loose that black beast he Keeps up there Like a dragon. •Harrison Left, stating that be would be back for Dana in October. He left Anson seething, Dana in tears, and he was quite upset himself when he arrived here. 1 advised hun to proceed cautiously but he was determined. He had to be in Europe this summer but will return this talL He is coming tor her and threatens to resort to law if necessary." “The courts would back him up,” I said. "Yes, but don’t lose sight of Uic human factor. Harrison made me promise to talk to Dana Anson. 1 told him 1 hadn’t seen her since 1 persuaded Anson to senfi Dana to St. Hilda s halt Shed stuck tt out for three semesters but she'd been miserably unhappy. The head mistress of the hall had kept me posted. 1 nad tried to see her when she. came home but Anson made it clear 1 was not welcome. After Harrison had gone I tried to fulfill my promise. It was no good. Young Anson refused to see me or let me talk to Dana. He’s savagely }ealous of her. I suppose it follows that, having lost his mother to Harrison, he feels the world is again about to take the only thing he loves. During

the summer I've exchanged a letter or two with Harrison at which time he said he had written to Dana telling her, when to expect him but nad had no replies. He suspects that Anson intercepts his letters to her.” He sighed. ”1 want to help him but I may as well confess there was a time 1 didn't.” “What do you mean?” He glanced at the kitchen door. “1 was in love with Belle before Hamson came along. She never knew it.” 1 stood up . from the table. “A man named Purcell registered at the inn last Saturday." His head came around and the eyebrows lifted. "Harrison?’’ ”1 don’t know." ’Tall, high forehead with abun- i dant hair? A bit dramatic look- j ing, no hat — probably good tweeds ?" “1 can’t say I’ve seen him. In fact no one seems to nave—since I shortly after he checked in." , “If it’s Harrison he’d almost cer- f tainly have come to see—" Both | his nands came around and hit the table with a crash. "What did you say?” The state police found his car in the Potomac river yesterday. Up to the time 1 left the inn, they hadn't found him.” ••• _ I When I got back they still hadn’t. I asked my pal behind the desk to let me see Purcell's registration card. The initials were definltely H. D. Up in tny room after lunch, the next move seemed too easy. Get in touch with the colored hired man and verify the message he'd been given. 1 wouldn t admit it to myself, but all along it had been a grating note. Not that it had to | be anything off-color, arranging to meet an older man in a sechided place, but she was a naive young thing and now 1 knew he was her father, 1 fc« better—up to acer- , tain part That part 1 didn’t like. I picked up my phone arid asked for the post office. When .they answered I asked if mail went out of their office for ■ the Metcalfs up on Third Hill. The man didn't know the name but he said tlie RFD in that area came from an office on the other side of the ridge. ,r- ’ / ; 1 decided the idea was no good anyway. A hired man wouldn’t necessarily live op the place. While 1 had tho phone tn my hands 1 tried something else. "Information ? Does Anson Metcalf have a phone?” There was a pause, then: “No, sir. There is no phone listed under that name.” “You’re sure? That’s not in town. It's on Third Hill mountain.” “I've ncard of him, sir, but there is no telephone listed.” 1 put Uie phone in its cradle.
