VISITING KUBSE CHAPTER 21 7DUR mother Is not a , young I woman, HUdy. Suppose it were a brain tumor an opera-' Hon might not be easy on her at her age' ' "You mean she wouldn't come out of ItT" Such fear as she had never known gripped Hildred's heart, so that she could not get out of the car though Randy was holding the door for her. . "I didn't say that" He took her by an arm now and helped her out His gray eyes smiled down into hers and he gave her a little shake aa if he'd put her feet and herself firmly on the ground. '1 told you, in the begin ning, not to start fretting and look at youl Your mother has had these spells for years ever since your father was killed, as you've often told me. She always comes out of them nicely she told me only a short while ago that they seem much further apart lately. "But they last longer and are worse." How could she shut out worry where her mother was con cerned? "All right, Randy, I won't fret -r- not any more this evening, any wayl" That could not help any and it was not fair to Randy. But Hildred determined that she would see if anything could be .done about that brain specialist : in Atlanta. Randy ought to be able to help he would if she persisted since his recent con nection with that big hospital there. She would have to phone and ; tell Lucien that she could not come this weekend. Poor Jimmy, jshe would have to disappoint him, j too unless Lucien had Robin ; fetch him without her. Randy sat looking at her. His tone was bantering, he gave her his wide grin, which because it was so rare was also so completely winning, "You're pretty enough, as girls go, Hildy, but who can hope to catch the spirit within, or behind your pretty face. You've got a lot of it, you know!" "Sometimes I could use more," CHAPTER 22 r T WAS in the middle of that week, after her mother s re turn, that Mrs. Jones, head of the Home, phoned the clinic to report that the little boy, Jimmy, had run away. It was Doctor Baird who first Rot the message, andi who, in turn, imparted tht in formation and what it meant, in his opinion to Hildred. "I don't want to say I told you so," he said, that deep furrow be tween his sandy brows, his gray eyes stern, "but you can see, Hildy, that it would have been far better to have let the boy alone." Hildred was afraid that Randy was right; but she did not think this the time to argue that. "We must find him," she said. "That's the important thing now. Where do you suppose he has gone?" "Back to the farm, most likely," Randy observed. "I doubt if he'd know his way to your apartment. But it won't be difficult to locate him I've put the police on it eady." "The Dolieel" Hildred was dis- jmayed. If Jimmy was picked up oy a policeman tne cnud would oe terribly frightened. He would think he not only was going to be taken back, immediately to the Home, but that he was eoing to . be punished. "I wish you hadn't dona that. Knndy. I think I could , have found Jimmy." She did not .know why, but she had a feeling (that the boy might try to go to ' the plantation. "Perhaps I should have con sulted you." Randy was the pro- l fe&lonal doctor now, withdrawn ; and forbidding. "It is your case. ! Unless you are ready to agree that you had better turn it back to I me." "Oh, don't talk like that, Randy!" She was so upset over Jimmy that she dared speak up to Randy whether it widened the breach between them or not. "I'll admit it appears that I have been wrong. 1 supposed when Jimmy - - - . - - - - she returned, with that defiant toss of her blonde head. '1 don't suppose you meant that aa flat tery ."Doctor." "I don't believe In spoiling the opposite sex." His grin widened. "Heaven knows they are vain enough as it is." "You seem to have a low opin ion of the fair sex. One would think that you had been crossed in love." "I have." His eyes smiled Into hers. "Have you forgotten that you turned me down when I asked you to marry me? A low opinion? I think women are angels, all of them. Only I have been too busy all my life to test that theory." This was dangerous ground Hildred felt that telltale color of hers spreading into her cheeks. "You should take time, then. All work and no piny you know what is said about that." "Ch, I know I'm a dull fellow," T".ndy return::!. "I must set m ex tremely so to yon now that you fc'iow Mr. Lani r." C 'ild that rean he wns a trifle ietilou;'' But he had let oppor tunity slip by; he had not said anything more. Oh! how she wished something would happen to make him wake up. Something was to do that very thing but of course, as she could not see into the future Hil dred could not know that then. LUCIEN was much disappointed that she could not come the following Saturday, when she phoned nim to explain that she had to go after her mother, who had been ill. But he also was most understanding and sympathetic. If proof were needed of that he gave it by asking if there was not something he could do. "Would you like to have Robin drive you up to get your mother?" Lucien asked. "You can't bring her back on the train if she's not feeling well." Hildred explained, further, that she already had been offered the use of a friend's car. "Doctor Baird is driving me up," she said, thanking Lucien. found I had gone away and that he had to spend the weekend in the Home" Lucien had not sent for him, she had learned "he thought I had forgotten him, and my promise." "It was bad for the boy," Randy said. "It was humoring and spoil ing him. It amounted to more than that. He would have got used to the Home by now, had you not given him glimpses of other sur roundings. Taking him to the Lanier place that, in my opin ion, was a big mistake." Hildred could not believe that the happy times Jimmy had had with Robin and Lucien and her self could have been so harmful; yet she could not offer proof that they had not. She did not believe Jimmy would ever have got used to or been happy in the Home. "Mercy on us!" Mamie ex claimed, after the doctor had gone out in what she knew was one of his "huffs" from the way he had slammed the doors after him. HILDRED put through a call to the big"house: When She Anally got through LwciimV low laugh came back to her over the wire. "My dear," he said.' "'there's nothing to be alarmed about, ab solutely nothing. Jimmy is here." "He is!" Her relief was so great that although she was half perch ed on the edge of Randy's big desk, her knees practically buck led under her. She got a firmer seat, said , "I had a hunch he might come there. But now that I know he has and is perfectly safe I feel like spanking him! Lucien laughed again. "That won't be necessary," he assured her. "I have already given him a good sound lecture." "I have told Jimmy he will not have to return to the Home." Lucien's voice was the one that brooked no opposition. "But you shouldn't! That will only make it so much worse!" "I cannot see why since it is true. You forget, Hildred" his voice became soothing now, pla cating, yet with an undercurrent - - By Kalileen Hams "What is this Doctor - BaJrd like?" Lucien asked. His voice held its mocking quality, even over the wire, "f hope he Is not young and handsome, Hildred." : "Oh, but he is! Decidedly sol" "Aha . . . now I shall be envious i 1 of him! No wonde'nyou are always W saying Doctor Baild says this, or Doctor Baird says1 that You are always quoting him, you know, my dear. ': "Am I? Well he's my boss, you know." "I don't like the Idea of you having a boss." Lucien's tone was his firm, authoritative one. "What does he say about your mother, this remarkable doctor of yours? Why doesn't he do something for . her so she will not have these headaches?" i; Hildred told him that Randy did not think there was anything tv be done. . "There's always something!" t was plain Lucien had no patience with that. He surprised Hildred by adding now, "We shall look into it, my dear I promise yoi!" She said, "You seem to think you must take on all my respon sibilities, Lucien. But it s kind f ?ou. I do appreciate it, mors than can say." J . "I like to do so," he returned promptly. "It gives me more plea sure than I possibly can tell you. And that reminds me, Hildred, I have something to tell you. But I had meant to do so Saturday. Now it must wait until your re turn." "I believe you like to keep we in suspense! But I will be a good girl and wait, as you ask." She wondered, nevertheless, whatl or who it was about. Jimmy? His cousin, Dodo? But no use try ing to guess. Lucien liked to !o everything in his own way. li However, when next Hildred saw Lucien he had two things, each of great importance to toll her. h.stead of just one. Each wjas to be a big surprise, in its way. Each was to affect that future far more than she could have fore seen, i . T. i of amusement as if he anticipated1 her reaction to what he was abdt to say "that I told you I had' something to tell you upon yotr; return. This was that something."! "I wish you would explain." Hildred knew she sounded a jjit curt, almost cross. But to have Lucien chuckling to himself andi talking in riddles and proposing! things that could not possibly, work out. . . . She could just pic-l ture Randy if she were to Vll him! ., ; "I will explain. If only you will, listen." There was a little pause as if Lucien were waiting for her to promise to do so. J "I am listening. Please go ort.": "There is no reason why Jimmy should return to that place be, does not like it, he is unhapjy. there. It makes him physically' and mentally ill." ; There was nothing for her Ao. say to that; it was all true. ? "You pointed out," Lucien con-'1 tinued, "that it was doubtful! anyone would wish to adopt hiPtf since he is not an infant, or a little ! girl with pretty curls and dimples. I And so, I have decided though it really was Liz's original idea that Jimmy should stay here. TbJat was the something I had to tell you, Hildred." . - I "But it is not as simple as thai" ; "Why not?" Lucien s tone was coolly imperative. "There is i plenty of room. The boy likes'' it here. He is fond of me, as you aftc pointed out yourself. In fact.) I cannot see anything more simple, my dear, than this so simple solu tion!" T "I am sorry I sound ungrateful,? Hildred said. "And I would -fie pleased if I thought your solutfttr workable, L,ucien. "That is better! Then you vj think it over and discuss it w your doctor and have evei thing arranged. Now his voere plainly stated that Lucien knew! as always he would win. I "I cannot promise ycu that jau can keep Jimmy. I To be continued) t : i
