(Continued From Pagp One) until the last.” It. was not until she herself was almost grown that she had learned what her mother meant. It was this knowledge and the realization that she was now about to face the stern old woman that caused the blood to mount swiftly to Dana’s face and her neart to beat, wildly. In that moment h n wished unhappily that she had kept the ocean between herself and this queer old house. There were hard, firm steps ourside. Her aunt rushed to the loor. "Sarah!” began a harsh voice. ‘Sarah's busy. Tuesday's .ash day. you know, Agatha.” Aunt Ellen said apologetically. "I opened the door for—for Dana—” Her voice broke in excitement. Dana had risen. She walked courageously toward the ncweom'v, none of her uncertainty and unhappiness showing in her eyes. The old woman who had entered the big. gloomy room had almost white hair, aquiline features and dark eyes that burned in a thin face. She stared down at Dana fiercely, terribly. “I’m very glad you’ve come,” she said, but made no move forward. "The child has come a long way and is very tired,” Aunt Ellen said in a gentle, troubled tone. “Yes, yes,” muttered the oid woman. “She must want to go to her room.” 808 GF ANDMOTHER CAMERON sank into a chair, heavily, hci brooding eyes fixed on a familiar pattern of the rug. She said, without lifting her eyes. You are welcome here. We hopp you will be happy. You must excuse me for not accompanying you to your room, but I, too, am very tired.” “It isn’t necessary,” Dana said through stiff lips. "If you’ll only tell me where to go.” “Ellen, call Sarah.” Her sister flew to pull a long ropp that w'as concealed behind the faded draperies between the hall and ’ivmg room. She pulled it twice in her agitation. An old Negro woman answered the summons, grumbling as she came; “Yes’m. I’m coming. Miss Ellen. Fas’ as ever my laigs can ca v me.”

The door opened and a slender girl with enormous, unsmiling eyes came in. “I came to offer the family felicitations,” she said.

She stopped at the sight of Dana. ”Fo’ de Lawd,” she ■whispered, tier face graying. "Fo’ de Lawd!” “Sarah!” the harsh tones of Grandmother Cameron recalled her. "This is Miss Dana. You have prepared her room?” “Oh, yes’m.” Knotted black hands released the apron corner they had been clutching. Sarah lifted Dana's traveling bag and started up the stair.. The girl followed, conscious of pitying blue eyes and burning dark ones watching her as she went up the wide, walnut stair. The Negro woman led the way down a long hall on the upper floor. The walk seemed endless. And then, suddenly, a door was flung wide.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Sarah whispered: “Go on in, honey chile. You're the spit’ image of yore pore young ma who slep’ in this room. It ain’t never been opened till today since the night she run away with Marse Dana, lovin’ him so and misserble married to Marse John. I dunno what come over yore grandma, ’lowin’ it to be open for you. Mebbe she's gettin’ soft in her old age.” “Thank you, Sarah,” Dana. said, a lump ir her throat. The door closed. She could hear the old servant shuffling down the hall. 808 CHAPTER TWO DANA W’as fighting for self-con-trol as she crossed to a deep w-indow and looked down at the

scene below. The gray day had turned darker, and now a light rain was falling, adding to the dreary appearance of the garden which stretched some distance away until it ran into an old brick wall. That unkempt area, deep in tangled growth, had once been a lovely garden. It was there Dana's mother had moved as a young and beautiful girl, loved and loving. It was there she had carried her bitterness and hurt as a desperately unhappy young wife after she had married “for security” to please her mother. And it was through the garden gate at the far end that she had fled two years later, leaving a tiny baby in this very room. Dana’s father had told her the whole story w T hen she was 16. “I couldn't have you hear from any one that your mother was not a good woman. Dana, dear.” he had said. "She was all that was pure and lovely. We loved each other so very much. We were young, and your mother was desperately unhappy. We felt there was nothing else to do. We were married as soon as John Wallace got the divorce, and a year later you came to bless our lives.” “What became of my sister?” Dana had questioned, then. a o a TTE answered gently. “Your mother felt the baby would be a. comfort to your grandmother, who had closed her home against us. And so your mother lived for 12 years—until she died, Dana—never hearing anything from your little sister at home.” Dana thought now: “Mv grandmother didn't seem glad to see me. Maybe she Is cruel. Maybe this is her revenge, bringing be back to live with unhappy memories.” She shook herself out of the somber mood and looked around her. The room was beautiful. The rose draperies about the canopied bed were only slightly faded. The furnishings were graceful Colonial pieces of an exquisite satiny wood. Her mother’s desk, inlaid in a classical design, was in one corner. The rug was thick and luxurious, of a beautiful medallion pattern. A few choice prints and dainty floral pictures were on the wall. Dana’s eyes fell on a miniature

on the dressing table and she went over, lifting it and staring down at it with misty eyes. This slender, radiant girl, dressed in the quaint ; style of anofher era, was her mother. "How lovely she was,” Dana whispered. Compassion flowed through ner. How that stern old woman Downstairs must have suffered when her beautiful daughter passed from her life forever. “But it was wrong to bring me here.” Dana thought rebelliously, "if she can’t forgive me for being my father’s child and looking like my mother.” B B B THERE was a knock at the door. "Come in,” Dana said, replacing the miniature on the dressing table. The door opened. A slender girl with enormous, unsmiling dark eyes came in. She had a dark, curly bob, and she wore a blue and white frock, cut with uncompromising severity. “She looks all of one piece,” Dana thought. "A mighty sober piece.” And then came realization. This was Nancy her half-sister. “I came to offer the family felicitations,” the dark-haired girl said slowly. “I gathered grandmother had let you in for a rather rough time.” "Well,” Dana, laughed a little shakily, “it was not exactly what you’d call meeting me with a brass band. Won't you sit down?” The two sat stiffly in chairs, staring at each other. “Too bad you had to come at all,” Nancy said. “This isn’t exactly a jolly house to live in. If I’d ever had a chance to live anywhere else —” She stopped, as though realizing she had been too free, too friendly. Her dark eyes, which had held a hint of sympathy before, were suddenly remote. “There wasn’t any other place for me.” Dana said. “I had given my father a. promise that I’d write my grandmother if anything ever happened to him. When he died three years ago, I was at St. Cecile’s. I wrote grandmother, but I did not know until after I was graduated that she had been paying my tuition since then, and that she had sent money for me to come here when I | was through school.” “She probably put a second mort-

gage on something to do it," Nancy said bluntly. When Dana flushed unhappily, she added "Oh. dont mind that. We're so used to them, an extra one couldn't make any difference. Besides, we live in the past—in the grandiose dreams of what used to be. Past glory should satisfy anybody with a drop of Cameron blood in their veins. We musn't forget that noble Scottish Camerons spilled their blood all ovei foreign battlefields and our greatgrandfather was a dauntless southern leader. “We musn't forget.” Nancy continued mockingly, "that until 25 years ago Camerons controlled the banks here in this southern city, dominated the county polities, had all the best pews in the churches, made the most money and gambled it away more recklessly than any other family in the whole countryside." "But this isn't 25 years ago. And I intend to live in the present,” Dana said. BBS WELL said, noble and brave Scot. We'll see.” Nancy smiled cynically. “Maybe you won’t break under the iron hand of your grandmother, but I have an idea you'll be a bit bent in the process. Unless you run away, a.. your mother did.” Dana said, her voice trembling; "How can you talk so lightly of my mother—your mother, too?” “Yes,” the other girl answered slowly. “That's what I can't forgive.” Dana said breathlessly. “What could you know of her problems?" “It's easy for you, who had her love, to understand.” Nancy's lips

curved in a scornful smile. “Remember. Dana. I was the one who was left behind.” A.® Dana did not speak, the other vent on lightly: "No hard feelings between us After all, were pretty much in the same boat. Both fatherless and motherless. Both penniless, because my father fell in with the family failings and lost all his money too. And your father, from what I have heard of him, never thoueht it important to make any. So we both start from scratch here!" She lifted a slim hand in a mock salute, opened the door and closed it behind her. Dana shivered. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She though’: Nancy dislikes me My grandmother really doesn't want me. I shouldn't have come.” iTo be continued.)
