"Didn’t you expect him to? ” She made a place for him beside her on the white bench and leaned back and observ­ ed him through black lashes. Shd looked as though she were amused at his excitement, "We’ve always known gold was there, Ransome,” she said, unruffled, She shrugged her slender shoulder. "Does make a lot of difference?” ’ "But don’t you understand, mar, that you're rich now? won’t have to worry about i thing.

"Tahlahneka has been doing all right,” Tam continued, "There’s nothing that can change Tahlah­ neka, Ransome.” "Pizen” With Gold Why, the ground’s rank .pizen with gold. She had heard' this statement hundreds of times. It was the townspeople’s favorite subject, the gold that lay under­ neath their feet in vast and fabu­ lous amounts. Something to dream and talk about, during the day’s hottest hours. "Don’t get yourself worked Ranny.” "Aristotle!” she called, and thin little Negro crossing the race at an ambling pace, paused ex­ pectantly. "Yas’m .Miz Tamar?” He scratch­ ed his back while he waited-, twist­ ing ludicrously to hit the right spot. "Go tell Phoebe to serve us some drinks and cookies.” “Thanks, don’t bother. I must be on my way,” Ransome Todd' said, striking his riding boots with his crop. "Relax, Ranny. Honestly, it’s too warm lor any use today. Sit down and tell be about the sale.” She looked cool enough, he was think­ ing. He felt like groaning. He wanted to reach out and touch the crisp, black curling hair that fram­ ed her flowel’j-like sace; kiss red lips that could turn up so vokingly—-as they were now.

Go on, now, fore Ah lams yuh!” She addressed her offspring. He scuttled across the lawn in a lope.

He gave vent to a long drawn-out groan. “The man’s struck gold, Tam! A rich strike. You don't act as though you knew what that means. I heard down at the dentist’s that he expected to take out $10,000 a day. Tie that, if you can.” He leaned over confidentially. “Now, the thing for your father to do, Tam, is to sit tight. Make the major offer him big enough percentage of the whole take to keep the fortune where it belongs.” "Oh, but I think Dad’s already leased it to him, Ran.” He stared at her unbelievingly. She nodded, offering him another piece of cake.

He remembered the .sick­ ening splintering of the boards as he went through triein one day years ago when he and Tamar’s cousin had wrestled on ’the little porch. He had caught at an iVy covered shutter on the way down and saved "his hand-some neck by a thread,” as Phoebe. sai(^, in her. disgruntled anger. Ransome Todd saw more /than this as he gazed out into space. He’' saw the legend of other genera­ tions of the Randolphs. There had been wealth in the family who had first settled on the thousand-acre tract; . wealth, English traditions, aristocratic living. The row b'f stone slaye * cabins at the back of the plantation had never be.en torn down, but stood as mute testimony of better days. Phoebe’s old mother could remem­ ber the things her sightless eyes no longer saw. ' When Ransome and Tamar had been younger, they, sat listening to the wrinkled old. of white door. He imprisoned her in his hard arms-. "Tam, honey, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. Honestly, I didn’t!” Her blue eyes were blazing, "Trying to interfere with us when we need the money so! ing my father, a fool!” "Gee! Tam, you’re He tipped up her chin, her red lips, but they returned no pressure. They were hot with scorn.

Sande stared at her. Tears trembled on her black lashes arid: her eyes were the bluest he had ever seen. "I’m terribly sorry,” he said. "I should have been paying more at­ tention.” "It was entirely my fault, Mr. Sande,” ' ■ Tamar said truthfully, starting Up the stairs. Sande hurried down and .Out to the car.' - As he placed the bags in the tonneau he heard a horse’s Whinny and saw a handsome man getting into the saddle. Ransome Todd sat on his horse a long moment. He gave the house a look and saw the young engineer putting the bags iffto the car. In anger, he brought his crop down smartly on the flank of Tah­ lahneka II. The horse jumped and, was off in a gallop. Contritely, Todd bent forward and rubbed the sleek, ’shining coat. "Sorry, old -man. I’ll never do that again.” With a quick gesture he, threw the crop, ana .it landed in the red dust £,t the. side of the road. Coming into the little sleepy *( town, Ranny guided Tahlahneka II across the square and ‘threw liis bridle to a Negro boy standing by. “Watch him, Pete, and I’ll give you a nickel.” . . He ran into the bank building and up the side stairs. He didn’t pause to knock at the door marked “Sheridan & Sheridan, Attorneys- at-Law”. He burst into the room. “Dick!” he cried to the slumbering young man at the mahogany desk, "Dick! . You’ve got to help me.” Richard Sheridan opened his eyes and moved his feet over on the desk to make room for Todd’s. But and said.
