CHAPTER 111
—3
SOPHRONIA WILLARD had driv
en a half mile from the limits
of Heron River before she spoke
to the girl, who sat beside her
straight and white as an icicle.
Then Phronle said, between her
long white teeth, "D—n them! The
Ignoramuses. Don't you mind 'em,
child! You've done nothln' wrong.
Don't you let 'em scare you!"
The girl laughed softly. So
phronia glanced at her In surprise,
and thonght suddenly that she
looked In some way much more
than nineteen.
"I'm not a child, Aunt Sophronla,"
she said. Her voice was low and
oddly measured, as though she her
self were listening to It "They
didn't frighten me. I am only sor
ry they upset you on my account."
Phronie was discomfited and a
bit Irritated. "They get away with
too much, those galoots!" she said
loudly. "A stranger can't come here
that they don't act up like a pack
o' hoodlums!"
Silver did not reply. Her aunt
ventured a glance at her as she
Jerked the old car around a corner.
The girl's face, with its rather
small features, was like marble, no
life In anything but her eyes, and
they stared straight ahead of her
as though she saw something name
less beyond the dark of the wind
shield. Qualms were unusual with
Phronle, but she experienced them
now.
"We've got to buck up, Silver,"
Sophronla said violently. "I know
how you feel. Jim was my only
brother. If he'd been my father I
couldn't of felt worse. We've got
to keep a stiff upper lip, my dear."
"I know," the girl said In that
same level voice. "It must have
been a great shock to you, Aunt
Sophronla."
"It was."
For a little time there was no
conversation between them. So
phronla almost wished that the girl
had thrown a fit of hysterics—any
thing, rather than this frozen si
lence. It was unnatural In such a
young thing.
"But we won't do any talking
tonight. Silver," she said presently.
"You must get a good rest I am
sorry Roddy—he's my oldest step
son—l'm sorry he's away In the
'good car. This Is an awful rattle
trap for you to be comln' home In I"
Silver seemed to have been think
ing her own thoughts. "Your step
son—Roddy," she ventured, "will he
mind very much—my coming?"
"He won't mind anything, unless
you sell your land to a cash buyer,"
Sophronla said grimly, and then
could have bitten her tongue out.
She had just Bald that tonight they
wouldn't do any talking]
"Oh 1"
"1 didn't exactly mean that," So
phronla shouted. "It's Just that he's
tilled your section with his dad's un
til be feels that It's his own. Don't
pay attention to me tonight. I'm a
little scattered, I guess."
"I don't think I shall want to
sell the land, Aunt Sophronla," Sil
ver said monotonously. "If you will
Just let me stay with you, I'll be
ever so grateful."
Sophronla's heart leaped. Well,
if It was going to be as simple as
that!
"Stay!" she exclaimed. "Isn't this
your rightful home? And ain't I
. your closest kin? I'd be a fine one,
I would, if I didn't Insist on -our
living with me!"
"Thank you. Aunt Sophronla,"
Silver said. "I can't say any more."
"You don't need to," Sophronla
remarked tersely. "And don't call
m« 'Sophronla'! It's too much like
me. I get 'Phronle' from them
that likes me. You can cut out the
'aunt' too. It makes me feel old."
"Phronle," Silver repeated thought
fully. "Dad called you that, but I
wasn't sure—"
"If li was moonlight," the older
Woman interrupted, "you could see
a stand of white birch against that
rise there. The old house—your
great-grandfather's homestead—sits
back a ways. It's part furnished
still, just like It was when he built
—lt, seventy-five years ago. We
use the place for the crew now
during thrashin'. Well, we're gettln'
home."
The girl stirred slightly and
glanced back down the slope. "I re
member this hill," she said.
"Yes, you was born in that old
house," Sophronia declared prompt
ly. "And your mother died In It."
Out of the sultry darkness, old
Roderick came toward them from
the big house, where one light was
burning in the living room. So
phronla saw his arms outstretched
toward Jim's daughter, and heard
the booming greeting of his voice,
and was suddenly afraid. But Jim's
daughter did not break down. There
was something uncanny about the
girl, Sophronla thought in confu
sion.
In the house, Phronle relieved Sil
ver Grenoble of her wraps and the
men took her luggage upstairs. With
the firm belief In the efficacy of
food to dull the sharp edge of grief,
Phronle then busied herself pre
paring a plate of sandwiches. Ja
son went to the cooler in the vege
table cellar outside, and brought in
a stone jug of ginger beer, while
old Roderick kept Silver company
in the living room.
When Sophronla returned with
the sandwiches, she saw a bit of
color on Silver's cheeks, and al
though her eyes' were darting about
the room like dark flames, they were
no longer the eyes of some stricken
animal.
Sophronla placed the sandwiches
and glasses on the table with Its
crocheted dolly, and Jason poured
ginger beer Into the glasses.
"Now, Silver," she said stoutly,
"you must have a bite. That darned
old car must have played you out
—lt sure did me."
The men helped themselves, reach
ing out to the decked table In paln
•ful fastidiousness with their large
brown bands.
Sophronia took In Silver's ap
pearance In detail. The girl was
slender, but not as frail as Phronle
had at first supposed. Her eyes
were dark blue, although by the
light of the acetylene lamp they
seemed almost black. Her hair was
what would be called ash-blond, she
decided, and It waved slightly and
was dressed in a plain fashion low
upon her neck.
Then Sophronla looked about the
room and saw It, In a twinkling, as
she had not seen It in years. She
saw It now because she was won
dering what Jim's daughter was
thinking about It
She saw the unobtrusive, faded
tan of the wall paper, with the
silver stripe In It That was not
In bad taste, she thought stoutly.
The curtains were of ecru net, with
side strips and valance of plain
blue rep; that had been Roddy's
Idea. She saw the upright piano of
black walnut, the keys yellowing,
and recalled that until Roddy had
removed It there had been a hand
some green velvet scarf on Its top,
hand-painted In pink roses. Sophro
nla looked at the walls and thought
how much cosier they had been with
the pictures and mottoes on them,
and the burnt leather panel with
the head of Pocahontas and the lit
tle calendar below. Now, on the
wall opposite her, were three small
ish etchings, placed step-ladder
fashion. Black and white—no col
or or life to them! One was only
land and sky, the second the same
with a windmill stuck In It, and the
third was an old horse plodding
across a frozen pond dragging a
two-wheeled cart.
"And is this lawyer—this Benja
min Hubbard you speak of —" old
Roderick was saying—"la he look
ing after all the—the arrange
ments?"
"Yes," Silver replied softly but
very clearly. "Ben Is looking after
everything. It was Dad's wish that
his body should be cremated and
his ashes sent here —to be near
Mother's grave."
"And did he live long enough to
tell you that?" Phronle asked, clear
ing her throat.
"Oh —he spoke of that some
months ago," Silver said, "right aft
er he had his first heart attack. But
he mentioned it again—before he
died."
"I see." Phronle winked rapidly
several times.
The men shifted their feet In
awkward silence.
Sophronla kept her eyes on Sil
ver as the girl continued speaking
In the same subdued tone. Almost
as though she had been there,
Sophronia experienced in Silver's
telling, the events of the summer.
THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD, ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA
She saw the scorching day In June
when Jim Grenoble had crumpled
forward on the street and the doc
tor had warned him. She saw Jim's
eyes as he had looked then—lev
elly Into the face of doom. She
heard the doctor's voice telling Jim
that one of these days his heart
would snap like a rubber band that
had been stretched too far. She
heard Jim asking his daughter Sil
ver to see to It —If anything hap
pened—that his ashes should rest
In the country cemetery at Hvron
River. Sophronla could hear Silver
promising—and pleading desperately
with him then to go away with her
to some quiet place, away from the
tension and fever of. the life they
were living. And she could see him
patting his daughter's hand gently
and telling her that they would go
soon—just as soon as they had
enough money put by.
Phronle said, "Did Jim never men
tion wantin' to come back —I mean
—before he knew he was dyln'?"
Silver raised her eyes, and for a
moment Sophronia thought she saw
in them something secret and fear
ful in their expression, something
startling. The girl parted her lips
and then looked fixedly at the wall
opposite her. Phronie had the feel
ing that Silver had been about to
Impart some difficult Information,
and then had changed her mind.
"Yes —he was coming back," she
said slowly. "He and I were all
ready to come. We had planned to
take this morning's train —the one
I took alone." ,
Sophronla started. Her handker
chief dropped limply into her lap.
Then, without warning, two l»i*e
tears rolled from her lids and down
her long brown cheeks.
"Please don't," Silver breathed.
"I'm sorry—l shouldn't have—"
"Never mind me!" Sophronia ex
claimed in a tremendous voice. "I'm
an old fool. I thought we wouldn't
"Yes," Silver Replied Softly but
Very Clearly.
talk about it tonight But—well, It's
time we were all turnin' In." She
got to her feet. "Looks as If Roddy
won't be comin' home tonight Jase,
light the upstairs lamps!"
More than darkness, more than
starlight and an Indolent wind
flowed Into Silver's room through
the dormer windows. Silver had
been gazing at them for over an
hour, and the company that en
tered there was palpable as her
heart-beat, undeniable as a truth
Individualized in loneliness. The
company was composed of Jim
Grenoble's love for her mother,
Anna; of his tragic loss; his sub
sequent folly. But It had other
members as well; the murmur of
trees Jim had planted In his boy
hood, the ripe fragrance of fields he
had tilled, the faint, gliding chuckle
of the creek under the willows, in
the ravine below.
She reached for the flashlight she
had left on the small table beside
the bed. She sat for a moment
holding it and listening to the dense
silence of the house, separating
that silence from the winged pres
ences of her own room.
The others would be asleep now.
Barefooted, her high-heeled mules
In her hand, and a quilted robe
about her. Sliver stole downstairs,
using the flashlight to guide her
through the dark. Once outside the
house, It was a simple matter to
follow the gentle slope down to the
old stone building. Presently she
knew she had come to the dooryard
of the old house, for the air about
her had subtly changed, as though
time itself had gathered there.
Ygdrasil—her father had not per
mitted her memory of It to die.
Anna Grenoble had named it so.
Silver had told Sister Anastasla, In
one of the numerous convents of
her girlhood, about Ygdrasil, and
the nun nad said, "Your mother
must have been a poet, Silver."
Sliver felt her way In her Inse
cure slippers across the ground to
the left, the direction from which
came the sound of the creek. She
seated herself and presently, over
come with weariness, sank down
with her head on her arms. It was
only twenty-four hours now since
Jim Grenoble had died. Just twen
ty-four hours since this spell of un
reality had come upon her. She had
not been able to cry, because cry
ing was something real.
It was Inevitable that he should
die as he had died. There was a
relentless Tightness in his going tne
way he had gone. At a hacienda
near Mexico City, a peon In the em
ploy of Carlos Salamanca had dart
ed out from behind a pomegranate
tree one moonlight night after Jim
had taken four thousand dollars
from his master, but Jim had bro
ken the wrist of the hand that held
the knife and had kept the knife
as a souvenir of a close call.
She sat up and clasped her arms
about her knees and gazed with
burning, dry eyes down at the dark
flow of the creek. What would that
strange aunt of hers. Dad Jim's sis
ter, have thought if she had told
her that there had been another
reason, besides his failing heart,
for Jim Grenoble's sudden decision
to return? Perhaps some day she
would tell Sophronla about Gerald
Lucas. Some day, when his cool
power over her and her capitulation
to him was only an evil dream, she
might tell Sophronla that it was
really from Gerald Lucas that she
had fled; that Jim, knowing Gerald
for what he was, had been over
come by the knowledge that Silver
was in love with him, and had
blamed himself for exposing her to
the corruption of his own life.
Silver Grenoble, as she lay under
the willow tree, was conscious of
a great weariness, she knew deep
ly that a change was coming, per
vasive and calm, into her being.
• ••••••
Roddy Willard brought his car to
the curb in front, of Torson's place,
turned off the lights and stepped
down.
At the end of the lunch counter,
Duke Melbank lounged, roiling a
cigarette in his pale, freckled hands.
His red hair flamed.
"A cup of coffee, Lena," Roddy
said to the elder Torson girl as she
greeted him with a smile.
Then he turned to speak to Duke.
"Time you were in bed, Duke," he
remarked pleasantly. This tall,
soft hulk of a fellow was beneath
contempt, beneath anger, even for
Sophronia's sake, although he had
been spreading gossip about Phro
nle's niece ever since his famous
visit to Chicago earlier in the sum
mer.
"You been away," Duke said as
he slumped down upon a stool.
"Duke checks up on us, Lena,"
Roddy smiled. "We've got to watch
our step."
"No," Duke objected. "I was Just
thinkin' you ain't heard, maybe,
about old Jim Grenoble."
"Gentleman Jim?"
"Sure. Him I seen when I was
to Chi last month. I could 'a'
told them he wouldn't come to no
good end."
"Anything happened?" Roddy
asked. There was a certain leer
ing knowingness about Duke that
filled him, as always, with distaste.
"Plenty! He got himself shot last
night"
"My G—d!" Roddy exclaimed.
"Who shot him?"
"Fella named Rawson, It was.
The police got him. Killed him
when he was tryin' to make his
getaway. Some o' them guys can
shoot, no foolin' 1"
"Poor old Jim!" Roddy said to
himself. "Sophronla will take that
pretty hard, I'm afraid."
Duke laughed mirthlessly. "Not
so's you'd notice it."
"You've seen her?"
"I seen her, all right, all right.
And how! She was down to meet
the train tonight."
"You mean they sent the
body—?"
Duke's hands played together.
"Not exactly. The one that came
in tonight wasn't what you'd call
a dead one, eh, Lena? I'll tell the
world! It was Jim's daughter. Her
I seen that night In Chi with a big
shot by the name o' Lucas."
"Is she here?"
"She's out to the farm, If that's
what you mean. But that oughtn't
to worry you none. She won't be
stayin' long in these parts, If I
know anything. Her kind don't be
long round here." He chuckled.
"I've got her number, all right, all
right!"
But Roddy did not hear the in
nuendo. Duke's disclosure had
flashed like lightning across his
mind. He tossed a coin on the coun
ter, seized his hat and made for
the door.
Driving home, he realized that he
was as near to panic as he had ever
been in his life. What would this
girl's coming mean? She would
undoubtedly sell her land for cash.
It was not likely that a couple of
hundred a year rental would inter
est her. Five years ago the land
might have come Into the possession
of the Wiliards, had It not been
for Jim Grenoble's obstinacy. In
stead, the money that might have
bought It had gone into bad invest
ments. How, if they lost the Gren
oble section, were all the Wiliards
going to live on the meager Income
from their own land, which was,
by some trick of nnture, not half so
rich? And In a week he, Roddy,
would have a wife to support as
well.

Life Is What
You Make It,
Even in Sport
TT IS a rule of mine that letters
A must be answered promptly and
yet the one postmarked from a small
West Virginia town has been here
for almost a wek. That is because
. . . But enough of such stalling.
Dear Mr. : It was nice of you
to pick me out from the midst of
all those other sports writers whose
stories you read while trying to
find some one from whom to obtain
support. Yet, at the start, I may as
well tell you that I am going to fall
you.
Perhaps you are right in saying
that your son lias had too good an
education to waste himself upon
professional baseball. That would
depend largely upon whether he has
the ability to reach the major
leagues quickly and to stay there
for at least five years.
If he can make that grade then I
think that you are wrong In believ
ing that he will spend the rest of
his life regretting lost business op
portunities. Let us see.
The oldest living former National
league player resides In Boston. He
Is past eighty and It has been more
than 40 years since he ended his ac
tive days as one of the greatest of
all stars. Has George Wright spent
all those seasons thinking of the
past and regretting opportunities
that were lost by playing baseball?
Not a bit of it. Like A. G. Spald
ing, another great player of another
day, his real fortune was achieved
away from the diamond and yet be
cause of It What he might have
become without baseball I do not
know, but I do know that lessons
learned In front of wildly excited
crowds in those old wooden stands
were Invaluable to both men later
while they built up businesses that
yielded them fortunes.
You say that you would not care
for him to travel around with a
sporting crowd. Honestly, Mr. ,
I should not worry about that.
There are all kinds of definitions of
sporting and so let us look at an
other side of it.
Ball Players
and the Church
There was a day, which happily
no longer exists, when baseball and
the church were
Wm was much feeling
L; jfjH that young men who
I participated in the
were doomed to no
I good end. That was
fielder who became
Sunday. a g rea (- er evangelist.
His name is Billy Sunday.
You think that if he became a
star hi* later days would be unhap
py because he would always be pin
ing for that thrill which comes and
goes with the limelight? Perhaps.
Most of the old Orioles are gone
now but memory lingers on so per
sistently that they still must be re
called as one of the greatest of all
teams. So the man who had been
their manager might well look back
wistfully upon those glories that
have gone. Let us see again.
Years after the team had been
scattered the citizens of Baltimore
were planning some new parks.
They called upon an elderly gen
tleman who was busily engaged In
building up a worthwhile business.
Now far more residents of Baltimore
think more often and more grate
fully of the Edward Uanlon who
did so ably as president of the park
board than of the same younger
Ned lianlon who led the Orioles.
Let us try once more. To suc
ceed upon the diamond you must
recognize opportunity when it comes
along. Disregard those bits of fic
tion which dot the magazines. The
real truth Is that few players have
become stars through some combi
nation of sheer strength and awk
wardness. The game is one in which
you must strive to think faster and
more clearly than your opponent or
combination of opponents.
When you develop such qualities
before an audience that is quick to
applaud or to condemn haven't you
built up something In you that is
going to serve well whatever you
may tackle later?
Think it over, Mr. . Or bet
ter still, let your son think it over.
The opportunity is there and, after
all, it is up to him what he makes
of it.
SO MANY things are being blamed
upon the weather nowadays that
it la a relief to consider Brooklyn's
Dodgers. Since those athletes prob
ably would continue to drop deci
sions even if they were performing
within the shadow of the south pole,
today's collection of logic is dedi
cated to those persistent customers
who annually must be beset by
chills while the heat is being turned
on elsewhere.
Plainly what Is wrong with the
Dodgers as well as with such better
favored clubs as the Bed Sox and
the Indians Is that even worse team
work Is displayed by the bosses than
by the hired help. Until the front
offices can be made to understand
the necessity of co-operation ns well
as of sustained and Intelligent plan
ning, World Series must continue
to be played at the Polo grounds,
at Yankee stadium, In St Louis and
Detroit.
By this I mean that there are too
many straw bosses floating around
in the Cleveland,
Boston and Brook
■ | yn offjces. o ffj ces . There is
I such an overabund
ance of managers,
both of the business
J and the field vari
'WMk"l, sty, that there is
% i no rea ' central au
\ xWjjfite' J | thority. Instead of
! being Bill Terrys,
\[ f Branch Rickeys or
Terr Connie Macks, too
many of the gentle
men have become Jack Homers.
Too many of them are too eager to
poke in their thumbs, pull out the
plums, echo the what a great boy
I am refrain and then duck out ths
back door when some one discovers
that a mess has been made of the
pie.
"Too Many Bosses"
Is Baseball Nemesis
Such confusion of purpose Is noth
ing new In this combination of sport
and business that Is baseball. For
Instance, there are the White Sox.
When Charles Comiskey was In his
prime the team made money and
won pennants. As he bcame older
he slipped Into a mingling of un
certainty and stubbornness that
caused him to lean too heavily upon
poorly equipped volunteer advisers.
For years then, and after his death,
the White Sox neither made money
nor won pennants. Now a happy
understanding between field and of
fice Is bringing success again.
There also are the Giants. For
years McGraw was the supreme au
thority and the club was one of
baseball's grandest successes. Then
some of the players discovered that
It was perhaps not impossible to go
over the "Old Man's" head. The
next pennant was won when Bill
Terry, who would not accept the Job
until granted full and undivided con.
trol, had become manager.
In mentioning this I have no de
sire to be unkind to the various gen
tlemen who have devoted their years
(albeit at salaries considerably more
handsome than the results) to the
executive end of the game. I merely
am stating facts that are very well
known to any one who ever has
poked an Inquisitive nose Into a
major league dugout.
Probably no club has been in such
a pitiful plight this season as the
Braves. The principal ownership of
this club is invested in two men and
a bank. The season was started
with a manager and with the game's
most glamorous figure in the lineup
as vice president and manager ap
parent. The result was inevitable.
There Is a manager who has been
bitterly assailed by newspaper men.
The business manager, who talks
an excellent game and who takes
bows whenever there Is the slight
est excuse for them, is a pal of the
press. This does not necessarily
mean that Walter Johnson and Billy
Evans do not function In perfect ac
cord. The Yankees ruled by Ed Bar
row and the Tigers directed by
Mickey Cochrane are, though, some
what out In front of the pre-season
favorites.
Bucky Harris, who was the man
ager of two pennant-winning teams
while under the
overlordship of 8
Washington, was I
not a success in Bos- I
Manus, for many I
reasons exceedingly M
popular with the I M
fans, was separated
from the Red Sox
managerial duties
ahead of Harris. I i 7" •
do not suggest that Harris.
Eddie Collins, the business manager,
sat In the stands and signaled to
the outfielders where to shift for
certain batters. I merely mention
that, in the midst of such rumors
of clashing authority, the $250,000
expended by Tom Yawkey for Joe
Cronin may have been a bargain.
I know of a majcr league ball
club where a manager Is not per
mitted to fine or otherwise disci
pline any of the players and, Indeed,
is not even given Information as to
how much money the athletes re
ceive. The club, because of poor
deals or the lack of any deals, Is
going nowhere this season or next.
Still this piece started out with
the Brooklyn club, it may as well
end with it After ail, the weather
is bad enough without getting into
a sweat about so many other things.
And it is true that somebody has tp
lose ths pennants.

Plant Improvement Held
Tedious Task Years Ago
Until the start of hybridizing by
Knight in England, somewhat more
than a century ago, all plant Im
provement was by "selection," says
Little's Industrial Bulletin. This
meant that the seeds of the choicest
grains and fruit were carefully pre
served for the planting of the next
crop and when grafting was used for
Increase of woody plants the buds
or branches were from the finest
trees and bushes. This system un
questionably kept up quality and
ably advanced it. In the hands of
certain "wizards," with keen appre
ciation of what Is of value in plants
and how to attain this, there have
resulted notable discoveries, such as
the Baldwin apple and the Bartlett
pear.
Selection was elTectlve, but it was
exceedingly slow. For centuries most
attention was focused on standard
types and the taming and develop
ment of wild forms was almost out
of the question.
Real progress began when the
pollen of the plant was placed on
the stigma of another to produce
hybrids consciously Instead of wait
ing for the same thing to occur by
the chance efforts of bees, flies or
:he wind.
