a parish court building in Shreve

"Well, darling, b

Later, much later, she was on
the last lap of her journey She
had flown as far as possible, to
save time, entrained for a short
trip and now was sitting beside
the driver of a bus.
"Have to lei you oil' here." the
driver apologized "Main's, got the
store circle so soft 1 don't dare
to lake a chance."
She left the bus and waited for
it to move back on its northward
journey, then attempted to shift
her airplane luggage to a better
position. A station wagon dashed
by, wheeled and raced into the
grove where shuttered windows
proclaimed a slumbering resort
center.
Arlela looked down at her skirt
and stockings and sighed. The
wheels had spun up surface water
and cast it at her in passing.
Well, she couldn't just stand
there. Her mother had mentioned
bus service from the highway to
the Langtry tract, but from what
the driver had .said that too was
seasonal. He'd also said the store
had remianed open She'd find
someone to drive her the remain
ing mil
"Oh, look. Lake Langtry."
"Did you say Lake Langtry?"
scotfed the man beside her. "You
don't suppose the people around
here would tolerate that name!"
Arleta was still with the still
ness of shock. She heard the ear
i limbic over the bridge, was
awaie of where she was, but the
i amble w as like the rumble of a
stoiiu she'd known must come.
"That name." The scorn he had
put into the words. Langtry? Oh,
but that had been a proud name,
a name the natives rolled over
their tongue with affection, an
honoied name.
They had reached a turn
around on the far side, and here
three roads forked west
"Sorry." the man beside her
chuckled, "I've failed ot ask your
destination. Which of these
roads
"1 am going to the Langtry
ranch," said Arleta through stiff
lips.
"I.angtry-" He turned now to
stare al her, and in place of quick
companionship, amusement and
admiration, there was watchful
speculation.
"1 am Arlela Langtry."

"l.anglry - oh. you mean the
Sunrise bus. No. sorry. Poor old

They were approaching the store.
Arlela looked up lo see the dark
haired gir l staring down at her. a
look of utter hatred in her eyes.
"Allene--" began the man. Hut
with one quick movement Allene
was down the steps, the wagon
door slamming behind her, Ihe
roar of the car motor drowning
the surprised. "Allene. wait."

turning to Arleta. "You weren't a

live in Ihat general direction. I'd

brushed her uncertainty aside. "I

Cover for a travel mag." he
answered absently, "Good for a

So he was an artist? Arleta
waited for something further, but
he seemed lost in some pleasant
speculation.
Arleta looked north and cried,

"Chips." he spat, and as though
he had to expel further venom
he shot the car ahead with a jerk
and reckless speed.
He didrvH go far. The third
road, the north road forked
again, and a few car lengths be
yond the fork he slopped. "As
far as 1 can go," he stated. "I'll
have lo back down as it is."
Later she might thank him for
comnig lo her side of the car and
offering a hand to help her out.
At the moment she felt he was
anxious to be rid of her.
The moment she and her lug
gage were al the roadside his
courtesy ended. True, he did lift
his hat. and she glimpsed light
brown hair with a single wave,
but a moment later he slammed
the car door and was backing
down Ihe road.
Moving in a stupor, Arlela
picked up her bags and began
climbing the weed-grown road,
cal clung her high heels in last
.summer's vines, rubbery with
rain She made a sharp (urn and
stopped. A giant pine lay across
her path. Automatically she
looked lo Ihe upper bank. It had
been felled by a human hand,
someone who wanted the road
closed. She looked at the limbs
from which the needles had
dropped and estimated the lime
il had lain there.
Arlela wavered. She even
looked hack. And then she reineui
beied the man's voice when
he'd said, "Chips."
All right! She'd been "Chips"
I.angtry. Shed be Ihat again. And
when had greasewood or lack of
a path ever stopped that little
hoy den'.'
She found the lowest spot on
Ihe west edge of the road, tossed
her bags up and then with a run
went up the side. It was like try
ing to run up an escalator the
steps slipped back under her
but like on an escalator she
leached the lop
Eagerly she brushed through
tin' wet greasewood until the
pines began, and there she could
find an occasional open space
thick with needles. And finally
when it seemed she would have
lo leave her luggage, she came to
the clearing and her home looked
down on her.
Great rocks upheld the two
storied log building, bulged out
lor verandas which circled north
and west. Kroni there the many
windows looked bare. Her mother
had doubtless packed away the
draperies.
Hurrying now , wet shrubbery
scalching at her, bags catching
on every outstretched limb, she
went on, went around to the
front of the house and raced up
Ihe stone stairway to come to a
sharp stop.
The door stood open.
Cautiously she approached. But
the door did not stand open. There
was no door, not upright. What
had been the heavy object carved
from a giant slab of redwood and
freighted there lay hacked into a
hundred pieces.
And the drapes had been torn
clown. And the furniture! Chairs,
legs hacked off. Divans had been
turned over, the upholstery slit,
Ihe filling drooling out in moldy
heaps.
Lamps were smashed if they
could be smashed, those of metal
twisted, and such pictures as had
been on the walls had been dis
figured, the oil paintings seeming
ly cut by sharp knives.
Again she shivered and would
have turned back, but Chips as
serted herself. Anger arose like
a hot red tide. This was more
than vandalism, this was the work
of hate.
Nothing had escaped, neither
dishes nor rugs nor windows, and
when she reached the kitchen she
found the coils of the electric
stove pulled out, the wires cut.
Here on the white walls, the
only surface which could have re
vealed writing, were written
epitaphs.
"As the Langtrys have sown,
let them reap."
