Leaving the resort run by fenelopc Hears a widow. Joan ana het aunt. Hallum and his 'ister, Haney, decide i o yo to Oraniteheaa. .On the way they meet Rose Carter, O former sweetheart ot Drew and "her mother, who decide to accom pany them. w At Qranitehead there is 0 bookshop owned by Odes Arnnger, .below which is a shoemaker's shop run by Stephen Scripps. They had become fast triends in France. As a result ot his war experience. Scripps teas obliged to turn from law to a trade and his friend, Giles, remained £lose by. Arriving in Qranitehead, Jpan Dudley brings her slippers to .Giles' shop to be mended downstairs. She recognizes him as a man she saw in a boat near Gloucester. They talk .about books. After she leaves, DiUy, Giles cousin, arrives at Scripps shop .with a birthday cake. Giles and Scripps go home following Dilly’s visit. (HOW GO OH WITH THE STORTj CHAPTKR * ENTERING THIS house. Giles and Scripps went at once upstairs. JSVben an hour later they came down they had bathed and changed. In the tllning room the candles were lighted and the table set for formal service. The two men stood until a *irl in evening dress arrived. She «raa dark with a pale skin, and her dress had a golden glow like that of the midsummer flowers outside. .She went straight up to Giles. •'Why are you so late?" she de manded. “Are we late?" “Yes. I watched ... I wanted to talk to you. About Margarida. She baked a cake and was putting can dles on It when I caught her at it. She said it was your birthday. But It isn’t. Your birthday is in April. Don't you remember? There was al ways dogwood." He drew out her chair for her. “Was I born in April. Scripps?” Scripps said, promptly. "Os course. Fancy a man forgetting when be was fern. Amelie.” She paid no attention to him. "You must speak to Margarida. Giles. She was very obstinate. I just happened to go in tlie kitchen. And I made fer take the candles off.” When they had finished their aar.apes and Margarida brought the soup, Amelie said. “I was right. Mar garida. his birthday is in April.” Margarida. placing a soup plate, kept a frozen silence. “You hear. Margarida?" "Yes. I hear." "How did you make such a mis take?” “I am old . . . the old forget . . ." “Weil. then, you may serve the jgake tor dessert, but there must be no candies.” When the cake appeared the two men ate and said nothing of that .other cake which they had eaten at noon. Nor did they speak of DiUy. They talked of the rain and of books and of things that were in the eve ning paper which they had brought over with them in the boat. After dinner, the men smoked, and Amelie played for them. A little later Scripps read aloud. Amelie listened for a time, then demanded. “Why don’t you read to me. Giles?" She Was Impatient and impolite. Scripps looked up from his book and said, passionately. "Doesn’t iny Voloe mean anything to you?" "What should It mean?" Amelie had risen and stood looking down at him. “You are always saying things like that. And I wish you weren't here. I want to be alone—with Giles . . She turned away from him. “I’m going to bed. I hate the rain. When I’m asleep 1 forget It . , .» After she had gone. Scripps said. "Giles . . . how can I ever stand it?” His friend laid a hand on his •boulder. “Hereafter I’ll do the read ing." But I thought that Aucassin and Nicolette—years ago we read it to tfether.” "I know.” the grip of Giles’ hand Fas coni fort ing. YjWhen Scrijpps went finally upstairs tor the •njgtyt. Giles made, his wjjw to the kitchen. Jose sat frefodfe the glowing kitchen stove with his feet «n the shelf of it. MargarUla was kneading bread, the elastic dough puffing between her strong fingers. "What happened," Giles asked, “About the cake?" Rfcrgarida’a hand, sticky with dough, went up In the air.

So I baked the cake and was going to bring it to you and Mr. Stephen to night after she was in bed. And then she came through the kitchen. And I was caught." “You couldn’t help it, of course.* “What I hate." Margarida was vehement, "was that I was made to tell lies. Which is a sin on my soul . . "May you never have a worse one, Margarida." He talked after that to Jose about the garden and the chance of more bad weather. Jose and his wife had been on the place before Giles' mother had died. It had been the summer residence of the Armigers in her time. But since the war Giles had lived in it all the year around, and there was his friend Scripps to share it. and Amelie . . . But tonight Giles refused to think of Amelie He went back to the liv ing room and hunted for a book. It was a little book with green and gold binding and yellowed pages. He turned the pages and read: ’The ladies of St. James’, Go swinging to the play, • Their footmen run before them, With a ’stand by! Clear the way!’ Btit Phyllida, my Phyllida, She takes her buckled shoon* When she goes out a-courtin’, Beneath the harvest moon.” He turned another page: “The ladies ot St. James’, They’re painted to the eyes. Their white it stays forever, Their red it never dies. But Phyllida. my Phyllida, Her color comes and goes. It trembles to a lily. It wavers to a rose. . . .* He stood there, reading, beneath the light of the standing lamp. He had hunted for the poem because it made him think of the girl of the silver slippers . . . her color comes and goes ... it trembles to a lily . . . it wavers to a rose . . .! And he wanted to think of her. As he had seen her high on the rock with her white wings bearing her up —as he had seen her in his dim shop bending over the old letter—as he saw her in imagination, dancing in the wood! In the bookshop was a tall ladder with little wheels. By means of it books on the highest shelves could be reached. Giles, sitting on the topmost step of the ladder on Tuesday morning, had a bird's-eye view of the tables below him. of the square of sunlight; framed y by the opgj» *loor\ the rfioving.. feet of;' people on the boardwalk'be-'' yond* ,Jl and a brief glimpse of water between the moving feet. So absorbed was he in his task, however, that he did not notice when the sky darkened and the feet hur ried fast and faster. Four of the feet took refuge in his shop, and a man’s voice said: “There’s no om EENDEESON, '(N. CJ DAII.T DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1931' Amelie played for them. here. Fancy leaving a ahop like this.” And a woman’s voiae: “I’m drenched. Such a sudden shower!” “You deserved to get wet Nancy* You would come.” “And you didn’t want me. But 1 had to talk to you about. Joan.’’ “You’ve done more than talk. You’ve nagged unmercifully." "Thank you. Yet all my nagging hasn’t done any good. Here yau are, engaged to sweet and 20. and you don’t know how to treat her." “You’re making a lot of it.” "I can't bear to see Joan hurt." “I have told you I didn’t intend to hurt her.” "But you called her stingy, Drew. And there’s really no reason why the child should not have her slippers mended.” “She should have bought new ones.” Giles could see the pair of them plainly now. The woman was with out a hat, and had opened that it might dry a gorgeous paper um brella, on which white storks flew against a background of lettuce gTeen. Her hair was copper-colored, and in the green sweater that she wore was a little line of copper thread which matched the hair. She stood with her hands back of her leaning against the table. "You sim ply didn’t want to call for the shoes, and you gave her a bit of your tem per.” she declared. “I hate petty economies. You know that, Nancy. You and I have always spent as we pleased.” "Yes, and you and 1 know there isn’t much left to spend.” The man blazed at that. “"Well, and if there Isn’t? I am going to marry Joan. And she’s worth mil lions." Giles, sitting up aloft, felt th« world rock under him . . . millions! He was aware that he was eaves dropping and that he must end it He made a strategic move, however. He descended the ladder noiselessly, and rounding a bookcase, seemed to have just come in. “Can I do any thing for you?” he demanded. Drew said: “Miss Dudley asked me to get her slippers.” "Sorry. They are not quite ready." “She was to have them today." “I will bring them up to the hotel.” “Tonight? She wants tm Trent them." “Tonight.” Giles had known he was stretching fthe truth when he said. Jpan’s slip yjers were hot .Wpdy. jScrjpps could ’ fhaye finished; J. hem in a moment. > ; •But Was it sihipiy to :hand over to this pair those ineffable little shoes that he had waited for this day? Why the morning had seemed glo rious. because it was Tuesday and she was coming. And he would see her yet. in spite of the unkind fate which had kept her from him. (TO JtA COX TIM!
