"I wasn't sure how you'd feel about it, dear! Or Randy I thought Randy might not like it at all." . "I don't believe it matter a great deal whether Randy likes It or not," her -daughter returned, rather shortly. This was why the young doctor was not to know anything what soever about this particular mat ter until another week had gone by during . which Mrs. Mc Naughten had had that examina tion and Hildred was forced to tell him. For the famous surgeort had found that her mother had a tumor: he had recommended an immediate operation. "If you are not busy I would like to have a few minutes of your time," Hildred said to Randy. She had waited until a time when she knew he would not be it was noon hour and the waiting room would be empty for a brief breathing space and she had sent Mamie out on some errands to keep that well-meaning eaves dropper from hearing what went on. "Come on in," Randy looked up from his desk, the deep furrow between his sandy brows that was so characteristic. j "It's Mother." No use wasting I any of his time if he was willing j to be generous with it now. "She has a tumor. Randy, as I feared. ! She should be operated on, imme 1 diately. She was examined yester day, by Dr. Charles Schouemaker no doubt you've heard of him, the famous Austrian surgeon. He is visiting the Laniers and Lu cien's mother was the one who suggested, and arranged for, the examination." "I see," Randy said: the furrow came back. He reached a long arm for a pencil, began his methodical tapping with it. "Dr. Schouemaker, eh? Of course I've heard of him. None better any where in any country." CHAPTER 28 VTHEN Hildred phoned Lucien W to say tbat it wouia oe an right to anak the arrangements for the operation for Saturday, she did not tell Him that Doctor Baird would also be in attendance on her mother. But when Hildred told Lucien that same evening it was a Thursday and therefore she wes dining at the big house he took it very well. He said he did not consider it necessary as Doctor Schouemaker was capable of han dling the case without any assist ance. But he added that if that was the way Hildred wanted it, naturally it was all right with him. "I want you to have everything your heart desires," he told her, his dark eyes smiling deeply into hers. They were in his rooms, but they were to dine downstairs in the big mirrored dining room to night "Now that you and I are to' be married, Hildred, you must be lieve that It will give me great pleasure to grant your every wish, my sweet.". She said, "That is not always possible, Lucien." And added to herself, ewen for a Lanier. Then, though she felt it was useless, she managed one last protest. "You know I have not said yet that I will marry you." He laughed and drew her down onto the small divan. "But you are going to!" he said. "You know you cannot possibly refuse me, Dep loyed. I shall have patience for a while. I know that' you will want to wait until your dear mother Is safely recovered. But meantime, my sweet, I have some thing which I insist you must wear." He reached in a pocket and drew forth a small velvet case. He placed it in her hands, without opening it bidding her to do so. "And before you do," he added, "you must not refuse it darling. You must make me happy by ac cepting it, for it is the betrothal By KalMeen Harm' That was what Lucien had said, but Hildred was glad to have Randy corroborate it . Oh, if only he would be a bit more human and break down and talk to her as they used to, like the pals and co-workers they were! But she might as well face It that was only la pretense now those days were gone. Some thing had come between herself and Randy. It had started the day she had met Lucien. The day when she had realized that Randy did not love her. "If it's as bad as that and your mother is willing, and if Schoue maker recommends it I presume he will operate? I see nothing else to do but take the risk." She said, "Thank you, Randy. I wanted you to know, of course." He inclined his head in acknowl edgment of that. "Where will they take ! m-? YouId ycu like me to bo thrre, too?" "Oh, Handy!" That was more than sl.j had e:f cted, or dared h Te for. Now -he cc Id not keep bac!. the teais that haW be?n pr?ssii.-; against her eyebails. "It's a small private hospital in Atlanta thp Laniers are interested in it. I hate to ask it of you, but of course I would be so glad, so re lieved, if you would." "I happen to be very fond of your mother," Randy returned. SHE should have known him well enough to know that that was his way of checking her tears by withdrawing the sympathy that always made them flow. But instead, because of his stern way of making such a simple state ment of fact, it made Hildred feel it was said' to remind her that Randy would do. what he pro posed for her mother's sake only and not out of his friendship or fondness for her. "Mummic is fond of you." She made that almost as stiff a state ment as his. "I know she will be grateful. I believe the arrange ments can be made for Saturday, if that would suit you?" present all Laniers have given their brides-to-be. Hildred did not want to open the case. She was afraid of what it would contain. It would be something, she knew, far too mag nificent for her. It would be some thing she would not want to wear or to accept. Certainly not if it were the accepted gift for a Lanier bride. "You do not seem curious," Lu cien urged her. "I thought all women were curias, my sweet. You must not delay too long as already the others are waiting for us downstairs. I waited for you here, in order to give it to you beforehand as I wanted you to have it to .wear it without delay." Reluctantly her fingers released the catch, the lid flew open and Hildred drew a sharp breath of astonishment. She had expected something magnificent, something of great value but even her im agination had not conceived such an exquisite piece of jewelry as now glittered before her eyes. It was a brouih. a beautiful, fragile setting witii a ; design mt : two hearts made from diamonds, per fect, pure white stones. "Pin it on," Lucien urged again. "Over your heart, dearest, that is where it must be worn, where all the Lanier brides have always "But Lucien, I cannot wear it! I don't mean that it is not beauti ful, that I do not appreciate your wanting me to have it. But it is too beautiful for me. It is too much, truly it is!" She knew that if she consented to wear the brooch she would indeed be lost "You will wear it won't you darling?" His voice was tender, instead of commanding; he leaned back, to observe the effect "How can you say it is too beautiful too much for you? You were born to wear beautiful jewels you shall have many more, my darling. You shall have every thing that money can buy. don't you understand that?" "Saturday will suit me fin."5 Randy pushed back 'Ms chair. Hifl face seemed to have softened. "You must not take it too hard, Hildy." His- voice was very gentle for him, "I know you won't I know you can meet whatever' comes. . - - ... "I'll try," she promised, getting to her feet too. She must not take more of his time; he would have to have, some luncheon and she wanted to go out to a private booth where she could phone Lu cien, since she had promised to give her decision about her moth er as soon as she could. "I'm sure you will!" His tone was hearty now; his wide grin al most natural He took a step toward her then stopped aa . abruptly. Had he been going to say some thing more? Had he had a desire, ir. that moment, to take her in his arms, to comfort, her? But no, of course that was her imagination this time. Randy had proved further If such proof were needed that he was her good staunch friend and nothing more than that. Even what he had offered to be with ,' her mother had been done for , her mother s sake, not Hildred's. 1 Had this interview been dif ferent she might have told him a little more that she was prac tically engaged to Lucien even letting Randy see that, since that was not settled definitely yet there still was the chance of get ting out of it. But what was the use? , . . ' Well, she would abandon hope now. She might as well marry Lu cien, since he wanted that so much, since nothing seemed to matter without Randy's love. And besides, nothing really did or could now until she knew that her mother had had the operation and that slip wnnlH hp all riirht Hm dear mother . . . for her sake Hil dred would be brave; she would put everything else aside, out Of mind and out of heart i 1 She could have answered that it would not buy anything she wanted. But, again, what was the use? She said, "I'll wear it to night, Lucien." 1 N the great drawing room the Countess once more was sur rounded by her small court of friends and house guests. But thjis time when she saw Hildred, en tering with Lucien, she rose to come forward to greet them. No doubt, even at that distance, her eyes had caught the glitter of the gorgeous, brilliant brooch on Hil dred's blue dress. And of course, she realized the significance of what its wearing meant. .; She bent her beautiful while head and touched the girla smooth young cheek with her lips. Her dark eyes, so like Luciert'a held Hildred's gaze in a locked moment, saying, as his had, many things that were not put info words. And amopg them was a deep gratitude from one womdn to another. "You are welcome, my dear," she murmured. "So very welcome!" They could have been formal words of greeting, but they Were so much more than that They said that she, Lucien's mother-, the Countess de Macena, welcomed: this girl as her son's chosen fiancee. They said, as her dark eyes had, that she not only was n glad, but gratelul. Hildred knew and felt the bonds tightening further. But tHe gratitude was the hardest of aJL How could she fail another wom ana mother who gave her that? If she did not consent to marry Lucien now she would fel she had betrayed the Countess as well as ruining the life of her son whom she so adored. From now on she would have to answer to the two of them if she were to try to find some way out of this tangle she so unwittingly had got herself into. Time, she reminded herself, thit wa all there was to depend upo. (To be continued) . ' In A Clam, Can't Scram
