CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE Ar.ne stepped into the pine-pan- elled office and dropped John's sweater Irom her shoulders. It was quiet, here, as she had known it would, be. Quiet and peaceful. She looked around. Everything was in order the way it always was.

The fire laid ready for a match. The book-lined walls tidy. The desk neat. The little calendar pad filled, as usual, with reminding notes. She moved across the room and.

sat down in John's chair. Here be held his conferences and interviews. Here he planned his talks and wrote his speeches. Here he conferred with men from all classes and walks of life who were interested in the land. "It's my profession--roy religion --my life That was what he had said so many weeks ago and she knew now what it meant.

It meant working with all his mind and body and soul to help America get A quiet, pleasant place the whole family will enjoy. Good food, well served.

It meant a.

lifetime of toil, but John never minded that. Would he mind that Alec was going- to take no interest in his work? That he wanted no part of it? That he had plans of hU own? Plans that don't include me. She knew that clearly here in this quiet room, Alec was trying to escape, not only from Stone House, but from her, too. Well, did It matter? She sat very still, her hands folded on the desk blotter before her, her brown eyes wide and grave. No, it did not matter in the least.

For months it hadn't mattered but she had not recognized the fact. She had thought that coming here to this old' ancestral home a brought Alec back to her and it hadn't at. all. What it had done was bring John to her. Alec had left her heart long ago.

It was John she loved. Not Alec. It had never been Alec, really. And it hud always -been John. "I fetl as if something were going to Way back then, on her arrival, she had felt truth but only today was she realizing it.

Only today-this hour this moment here in this cottage where John'i spirit prevailed. S-he looked down at her clasped hands and then slowly unclasped them and laid them flat- on the desk before her. Lovingly she held them there. Then, lovingly and lightly, she touched everything before her that was'John's. His pen.

His pencils. His white pad. There was devotion in her touch, and a lingering farewell, For she would have to leave Stone House Leave it and never come back. She saw that as clearly as she had come to see everything else in this short half hour. It was too bad.

It wag terribly too bad. But she had met John too late. And then she heard the rattle the station wagon in the dis- lance and she went to the window and looked out. Yes, there it was coming- down the driveway and around Una house, to the barns at the back. John was returned from where he gone.

Only she didn't need him now to tell her what to do. She had found out by herself. She watched him spring from the car and start for the kitchen d'oor. But before he got. there, almost as if he were impelled by her watching eyes and her thoughts, he paused, turned, and then started toward the cottage.

She drew a quick, frightened breath. He must not find her here! What would he think? She must get away before he She looked around hastily. She would slip out of the rear door as he came in at the front, she told herself. She would go through the pinei to the end of the garden and so to the barns and back to the house tha way and he would never know she had been here. While she waited, holding the door ajar, she saw Auntie come hurrying out of the kitchen at the big house and heard har shrill following cry.

"Mist 1 John! Mist' John! Miz -want you! Madame Kingsley got took bad. Mist' John Come quick!" John turned again and ran back GARBY THEATBE CLARION, PA. LAST TIMES TODAY! MATINEE 2 P. M. EVENING FEATURES 8-8-10 ALSO COLOR CARTOON i BlG DAYS WED.

She cams into the great front hall but John had already disappeared upstairs. She stood listen- a moment to the sounds from ahove: the lc-w, grave voices, the hurrying foostepg. Something rioos had happened. What waa it? A dour opened overhead and Julia's anxious voice came to her ears. "Try the doctor ajfain, Alec.

Mayhe located him now." looked up. He was coming down the.stairs. She aharted toward him, a question on her Hps, when the telephone rang as she was passing it. "I'll take it." She over to the table. Alec came down, his pace slowing, ate would have to wait now until line was free, unless that was doctor He jstood, a "ew feet hebind Anne, listening to what she said.

"Yes--yea--yes Who did you aay ia speaking?" Alec's voice came "Is for me?" She turned toward him 1 "I don't know. It's long distance She spoke into the telephone again. 'Yes, -that's right Yes, this is Stone House. Yes, he's here. Who? Who? strode the short space be- them but not before Be "had heard the- distant speaker's voice and had seen Anne's face quicken, 'irst' into astonishment, then disbelief, then quisi, proud scorn.

She held the Instrument out to lim, her brown eyes level, her voice icalm. "It's your wife," she said. "Calling as a surprise from Honolulu." Anne went up the stairs with her head 'held high. Behind her she could hear Alec. "Chloe? Why in the devil did you Yes, it was sweet of you, of course.

Yes, it was a surprise, all right, but No, nothing's wrong except that this is a most inconvenient time. I said inconvenient. Why, because there's sickness here. Sickness She- could imagine the dark discomfiture of his face, the anger of tiia heart. Well, she was angry, And outraged and humiliated But she mustn't think about it yet.

Not until she got away from here. She eame up to the top of tha stairs and paused a moment. Her instinct was to rush up to her room, pack and leave as quickly as possible. But first she must see Julia. She could leave without seeing Julia.

And Madame Kingsley, too. She had nearly forgotten about Madame Kingsley. She must find out what was wrong with her, of course. So she moved along the hall to Mrs. Kingsley's room where the door stood open and, rapping lightly, she stepped inside.

Julia and John were over next to the bed on which Julla'i mother lay, an inert figure with half-closed eyes, whose labored breathing sounded frighteningly in the quiet room. Julia, nodded to her and Anne crossed over to them. "What'e happened?" "A stroke," Julia whispered. "I'm so sorry. What can I do?" "Nothing'.

Nothing at all. Did Alec get the doctor?" phoning now, I think." They stood in silence together for a moment. Then. Julia said "She mentioned not feeling wel thie noon, do you remember? She said she had a headache. I suppose I should have realized that that was a warning signal." John sp'oke quickly.

"Even you had, could you have stopped this?" He put hia arm around her "Don't, mother." Anne said, "John is right. You'v; always been beautiful to her. Al ways." She hesitated. "It's one the things I shall like to remember after Ten gone." Julia turned her head and Anne saw her waiting. "What do you mean?" ehe asked, after a mo ment.

The breathing on the bed wen on in unbroken heavy rhythm They could speak above her ant she did not hear. Anne said, "Alec is married. I just found out." There was a moment of stillness during which she felt John's com passionate tenderness like an arm about her although he never moved Then Julia murmured without sur prise, "So." "I must go," Anna went on, no looking at them, looking at Mad ama Kingsley on her pillow. "If can do nothing here, I'd like to go right away." Julia's hand came out and took Anne'e in a close clasp. "I was afraid she began and checked herself.

"I don't need to tell you how I feel. It's a' great disappoint ment. I hope you won't "I'm all right," Anne interrupt ed. (To be continued.) Mrs. Harold George entertained "500" club at her home, 6304 ilain Thursday evening.
