Jimmy was, as she had nown he would be, beside him self with delight He spent most of his time hanging around the huge barna that stabled the cows and the horses. There was a new baby calf that won his heart and he was right In bis element help ing with the chores. But the amaxing part was that the little fellow completely won the Countess' heart "He is a dear little boy," the Countess said, her own dark eyes suspiciously misty with unshed tears after Jimmy had said his good-nights all around and been led off to bed. "He reminds me of you, Lucien or maybe I am thinking of the grandson I have not yet had." "You know ypu will never have one!" Lucien said in such a sharp, hard tone that Hildred glanced over at him in surprise. "Is that my fault?" The Countess' tone was not sharp it was soothing. "My son is be trothed to his cousin, Dorothea Merlin; but as they are first cou sins they have agreed it would not be wise to have a family." Lucien now said calmly, his an ger evidently well in control. "You know why I am marrying Dodo, because you have made the arrangements and have insisted upon it as the only possible mar riage for me to make. It is, as you may well guess, because of the money we Laniers are cursed with." "Lucien!" His mother's voice was as sharp now as it could pos sibly get. Shp held up a lovely, heavily jeweled hand in a grace ful gesture of reproof. "You are being somewhat rude, my dear boy. And I too had no right to bring up such personal subjects. We both owe Miss McNaughten an apology. Let us talk of some thing else. And it is time for a cocktail before dinner is served." CHAPTER 19 she coming south soon 1 your cousin? Hildred asked. Lucien shrugged again. "One never knows what Dodo will do; she is unpredictable. But I pre sume she will come. Liz has writ ten her the royal command that she should. The marriage is sup posed to take place when Dodo arrives. Liz has had some set idea about the ceremony being per- M , I u . : . l . L A. M 1 not Dodo." The line of Lucien's handsome mouth was grim. 'Though in this particular case, 1 must say I am on Liz's side. There is, po use in haying a lot of hiihltcttv Th duiotir and nuirk- tr it U over, the better, no doubt' Though the hurry, again, is Liz's idea not ours." She saw that he did not want to talk any more just now. So she kept silent It was at that moment which must have appeared one of inti macy indeed that the Countess entered the room. "I trust I am not Intruding," Lucien's mother said. Lucien stood up to face his mother. His eyes were hard and bitter, his mouth sardonic. He Save a little bow, from his slen er waist "You never intrude, Liz." The Countess crossed over to sit down beside her, all graciousness. "Men are only little boys as we women know," she said, address ing herself to her young guest "They never grow up. Their wom en must look after them." " 1 1 DOW'lJI -I'W AFRAID THERt'3 M-WO ) I V STOP, VDUR MAJESTY1 )J 4 I I V .,J il 1, .n.uiM 111 1. 1 1 .i.i....i . .1 1 , ii) flltMll bllU jMiUUiA' Lucien turned once more toward Hildred, his manner changing with its usual lightning-like rapidity, so that .he was all charm now. "Hildred will forgive me and you. Hers is a most under standing heart What will it be, my dear, the usual sherry?" HILDRED had wondered If there would be other house guests this weekend; she was re lieved that there were not. How ever the Countess proved to be an expert and entertaining hostess. She talked well, and wittily, on many current subjects. Yet, though Hildred knew the Countess wag actually putting herself out to win her liking, Hil dred still withheld it; not out of any perversity 0,1 her port, but simply because s.i? still doubted tl.-j sincerity bc.ieath her hostess' chrsen attitud-s. More undercurrents, Hildred sighed later on, after a pleasant if a bit dragging evening of more music not all recordings this time as the Countess played ex ceptionally well and sang for them. She felt them again when his mother bid him a fond good night, with an attempt at a caress that Lucien skillfully avoided, if otherwise his response was polite enough. And she saw the flicker of pain in the Countess' beautiful eyes, so that Hildred, impulsively, made her own good-night more warmly responsive than before. "It has all been so pleasant," she said, holding out her hand, which Lucien's mother took to hold in her own. "It is lovely of you to make me feel so welcome. And to have Jimmy. Well, truly, I wish I had words to thank you, Countess de Macena." "You are a sweet girl!" The older woman obeyed an impulse of her own one that must have been genuine; she stooped and kissed Hildred's smooth young cheek, adding, "May God bless you, my dear." "Thank you." Hildred returned and now she knew that in spite It was evident that she had read the silent message Hildred had sent her to let her son find his Own happiness. She practically said as much when, the pleasant weekend final ly over, it was time for Hildred and Jimmy to take their departure. Hildred and the little boy had each made an appropriate thank you speech Jimmy's so spontane ous and sincere that the Countess had given him a pat on his dark head and told him he was to visit the great house whenever he liked j Hildred's she hoped showing the proper appreciation and its sincerity, too. "It is I who must thank you," Lucien's mother .aid. "And to you I say also, please come as often as you like. Of course you will, my dear. I would like you to come Jo see me, as well as my son. I would like you to be friends with me, Hildred may I call you that, please? as well as Lucien. He shall not keep you all for him self." The last was playfully reprov ing and teasing, but the rest was genuine, so that Hildred was touched. "I wish you would," she said in reply to being called by her first name. "And it would give me much pleasure to be the friend of Lucien's mother, as well as his. I proi.ie to come just to see you when I can. But you know," hon esty as well as a desire to be the one, for a change,, to remind the Countess of the vast differences between herself and a little county nurse, prompted the next remark, "I work all the time, nearly. I only have half days Sat urday and Sundays to call my tcjs of herself Lucien's mother won her, as had her son. had. "I told you," Lucien said the next day when Just the two 0? them were alone, "that my moth er would take a great liking to you. I hope you will try to like her too she's really a good old gal is Liz." "Why don't you try, Lucien? b is because you will not .forgive your, lonely childhood? Surety you can see that your mother now regrets that look at her with Jimmy -and you can be man enough to f6rgive her and forget:'' "She may adore me, as you aaqr "but she wants to own me, sou and body." . B "Women and mothers are like that," Hildred admitted. f shouldn't think you would hotfc to marry your cousin if you dfc not wish to do so yes, even fif your mother wishes it." ? "There is much that you do npjt understand." He glanced up now and she caught the dark despair in his eyes. Which was why she venture on. "This is the twentieth century, Lucien. And, again I remind you, you are a man not a mouse! n "Dodo and I understand eaqp 11 eami j ied up t flush' of his other. Lucien straightened now; there was a slight beneath the smooth plane tanned cheeks. How handsome He was! "We both know we afe doomed." II "Such silly talk! How could yev be doomed without your being at fault and if you were, you shoujdV do something about it. . "I wish I could," he said, wiWi so much bitterhess that HildrtH was greatly troubled. Especially because he added, looking deep into her eyes now, "More than ever, since I have met you, HillW dred." Then, before she couW ponder that riddle, he shruggfd his broad shoulders and gavea short laugh. "However, even in this century, a man unless he W the mouse you mention does ritft break his bcthrothal, pledged 8i most before birth, to a girt" tv ill own. I feel that my time, other wise, belongs to those I try to help." ' "You must tell me more about that clinic of yours," the Countess said, making it one of her royal commands, yet a gracious one."I see the secret of your happiness, my child helping others and not just those children for whom you do so much, but all with whom you1 come into contacv" ' "I can hardly do that much1?" Hildred protested, the lovely color deepening in her face. Sne had no idea how beautiful she Was in such moments as this. "I lHce to do what 1 can for my friends, as well as those who come to tjhe clinic; but I am afraid, in both cases, it is but little I'can do." She meant that thinking agajtt Of Jimmy and her promise to biflO. '.That shows how little .you really know!" It was Lucien who spoke up now. "About the goba you do, I mean. You and JimmV have made this old house come alive this weekend. I am count ing on you next Saturday you know. And you might as well Jet Jimmy come then again too. .In fact, I understand he and Robui have a date all set." 5 It began to look as if her wee& ends from now on would Vb pretty well planned for her. but there was nothing Hildred couM say, at present, to change that, even had rh wished. When they finally arrived at some permanent arrangement for Jimmy sne meant to take up the matter Wf trying to get him adopted if it did seem an unlikely prospect, ar again, when Lucien's cousin. Dodo, arrived for the wedding, wejj, then things would change again,)) ' (To b continued) it- Mysterious Melancholia
