He had been, thinking of her all those lonely week's she had been away. Linda, leaned heavily against the table. “You’ll help me, Mor-ris?” she asked. Yes, Miss Linda.” The Breach Widens Then the girl, her lips set firmly joined her mother and brother in her mother's sitting room. “I wom’t stand for it, Mother!” Jimmie’s first wo-rst burst forth be­ fore the door was closed against the curious ears of the servants. Jimmie threw, himself down in a deep chair and -stared up at his mo­ ther. “What have I ever done to be treated like this?” On the wall -over Mrs Laird’s desk hung a yery fine portrait of Andrew Laird. Linda, looking up at it, felt her eyes fill with tears. But Jimmie had turned to Linda, “You did it! He always liked you best! You got him to do it!” “Jimmie, p-lease!” Linda looked sorrowfully at her brother. “Don’t be ridiculous. Mr. Morris just told me father made that will only a month before he died. I wasn’t even home. You know I don’t care. We all share ali-ke! ” “But I the son! from the “Did your father’ mention the will to you in his letters?” Mrs. Laird de­ manded. “No, mother!” How bitter the mis­ erable scene made Linda. What did it matter about Jimmie’s money? In ten years he might be settled down. He would have a tremendous income during the ten years till he came in­ to his fortune. “The yacht! He even left you that! It should have been mothers’s.” “Jimmie, it’s ou-rs. You can have it any time you Linda protested. “You know how snooty if, I wanted to throw a party aboard! “Jimmie, that isn’t true!” Linda tried to- keep harmony at all cost. ‘T think you should give that over to JimmiedMrs. Laird interposed. ‘ _‘b^'n?runXerstand your father. Now think, Jiimnie, if we try, we can .•break that clause about holding the money until ydyr 35^tbAt,fs if .Linda will help.” \ v “Oh, Linda won’t help. She’ll think it is a good thing. At least, it hasn’t cost dad a mililon to marry me off!” Linda turned crimson. It was too cruel of Jimmie. Immediately he said it he was sorry, but he was too stubborn to admit it. “Jimmie, can have the yacht if he wishes,” Linda’s voice was quiet as she spoke. “You know I can’t .support it with­ out more money. It takes a million a year for the thing!” “Now mother will help you with that, Jimmie'—” Mrs. Laird interpos- Threaten to Contest Will Linda, sick at heart, turned to­ ward the door. They’d have to fight it out among themselves. For the first time Linda was glad she had so little faith. She hoped that her ‘father could not know how they felt! She -could see many stormy scenes ahead. One thing she was deter­ mined. iShe would never live at Liard Hall again! For Jimmie would nev­ er forgive that restraining clause which- came with his millions. The next day Linda kept to her rooms most of the day. -She -wanted to think things out. There was so much to decide. What was her life to be in the future? One thing Lint- da knew. There would be no more playing around as she had done. She was going to work. Late that first week she made an appointment to see Mr. Morris. And that night Keith telephoned- again ■from .shipboard. He would dock on Wednesday. A slender figure in black, Linda,, walked into Morris’ of­ fice on toip of one Of her father’s s-kysicrapers.

It was Keith who finally s-P'Oke. “Can you eyer forgive me, Linda, for not being with you, to bring you back home?” “We’ll forget that, Keith.” Another silence. Keith was find­ ing it hard to say what he wanted to say. “Linda, I’ve got to say something to you. How much do you know?” Linda laughed a little. ruefully, trying to keep her voice steady. “Pretty much!” “How much, dear?” “Everything, I think.” She tried to draw- away from but he held her tight. “Linda, you’re the grandest son in the world. I’ve found o-ut. Please, please, listen to That's why I brought you cut here. I had to talk to you.” “Yes—” “I love you, Linda!” She did not an-swer. "You don’t believe it, I know. I don’t Iblame you.” He waited a moment, praying for the right words. “I’m going to be­ gin at the- beginning. But first, me hcxw long you’ve- known Iris and me." “Since the rehearsal dinner.” Keith Pleads His Case Keith- straightened his shoulders, Then he had been right! “I’m not in love with Please believe that.

Another Appeal Keith made one more try. “Give me another chance.” “It isn’t that I don’t want to, Keith. It is of no use. My mind is made up. At least we can start all -over again, try to get our lives straightened out!” “Have you told your mother?” “No.” “-She’ll make a terrible fuss.” “I’m used to that now. Nothing like that will ever matter to me again. I’m free!” “Nobody is ever free, Linda.” “But they have a choice of what they want to do with their lives!” “And just what do you want to do with yours?” “That will come in time. Right mow there is a job waiting for me, and I’m going to carry that o-ut.” “It is only two days until Christ­ mas, you can’t leave me like this,” Keith begged. “I’m not leaving you, Keith. I never had you! And as far as Christ­ mas .is concerned, well that doesn’t matter any mere to me!” The bleakness in Linda’s voice broke Keith’s heart. He could no longer touch her. It was a new experience for the young man-. “Some day you’ll know, Lin­ da, that nobody’s perfect!” “I didn’t want perfection, Keith!” “You’re hard.” Linda felt she had no strength to continue the argument. There had been so many of them. ‘Please, Keith, take me back home.’ Keith toward Apple Marmalade Wash, -quarter and cut into small pieces corse-grained Canadian-grown- apples.

You mustn’t rush into things without knowing just what you want to do.” “No. I'll be careful.” Keith had cabled Linda to meet him at the boat. Mrs. Winthrop tele­ phoned late that night before he was to arrive and asked Linda to he-r up at the Ritz Tower so could go together. Until it time to .go to the boat, Linda not realized haw she dreaded ing Keith. For she had decided they could not go on any longer. It was foo-lish. She faced the thing ' squarely, if he wanted his freedom, he should have it. Keith Goines Home As the great line.? slipped into its pier Linda, looking up on deck, could see Keith -waving to her. Tears dimmed her eyes. It was going to .be hard leaving Keith, but it had to be done! Later, when Keith to-c-k her in his aims and kissed her, she realized how much she really cared about him. He kisseu his mother, swept them both into the car and they were -riding uptown. “Now where?” Keith demanded. He looked at Linda's face. How thin she was and tired. “Young woman, it’s sunshine far you and right away Mother, what are your plans?” “Your father and I aren’t going South for another two weeks, Mas. Laird is going Sunday.” “Laird Hall is no now, Linda,” Keith with an understanding glance, want to get you away. I’ll have to see dad for a -couple of days and then we’ll, see.” In spite of his mother’s protests, Keith went out to Laird Hall with Linda. “The poor kid needs somebody to look after her, mother,” Keith told Mrs. Winthrop. “That family of hers! I’ll bet there’s a sweet row,” he added, when Mrs. Winthorp- told him something of the will. iFo-r Keith- -knew Jimmie, and, although he liked him, was -under no illusions -h-im. Dinner at Laird Hall that was pretty bad. Jimmie had i home because >of his mother’s fence. The co-usins from the were still there. So were the throps. The gloomy dining was depressing, and even the bright fire in the 'fireplace could not seem to warm it sufficiently. Alone with Keith The Winthrops were going to Manhattan that night. The cou­ sins had to pack. Until then Keith and Linda had had hardly a word alone together. But now there was no avoiding it. Finally Keith led Linda into a fur coat and car. “We’re going for a drive, need the air!” he insisted, and they, too, escaped out of that -depressing house. Keith drove fast and furiously for a ’way, giving them both a chance to quiet their disturbing thoughts. At last he 'found a cove, parked the car toward the angry Winter ■ocean, turned on the -heater. “There, youngster!” and he drew Linda close. “Now talk. What a time you have had!” And Linda, held close in his arms, found herself talking, talking, as though she could never sto-p-. About her will, her father’s plans —on she talked until her throat was tired. Then suddenly she stopped in the midst of a sentence-. Keith was back'—Ib-ut he had not come back to her! They must get that settled. And -Linda was asham­ ed that she was so grateful for his sympathy and understanding. “Why, why do I have to be so happy when I’m with him!” was her protesting thought.
