I —-r — SYNOPSIS Worlds separate young Alison Van Dyke and Teresa, her glam orous half-sister. The latter, am bitious and domineering, as one of Washington’s most suc cessful interior decorators, while Alison and Kitty, theii mother, lived quietly in Ver mont. Alison was 16 at the time she came to Washington io>. Te resa’s wedding and something happened to her heart when she met her sister’s fiance, attrac tive Sam Tarrant, quiet, ideal istic newspaperman. The wed ding reception was being held at the home of Teresa's wealthy friend, kindly Edna Castine. CHAPTER THREE Thanks to her mother, who walked bravely and proudly be fore her, her yellow curls in mo tion. Alison did not want to hide as she walked down the church aisle, her tanned hand through the arm of a young .man she would later meet and know as Philip Spencer. With her long pale hair cascading to her shoulders and wearing a soft green velvet frock hastily ac quired. this morning, this mo ment of looking and feeling grown up more nearly ap proached a moment of triumph than any she had ever known before. She slid in the pew beside her mother, folded her tense hands, and absorbed surroundings that would forever be memorable to Teresa and Sam. . . It was all Berger’s Wept.

She did not know why their love seemed more sancti fied and more filled with the substance of which dreams are made than any she had ever known. Flawless, these t w o about to be married. Perfect, this their beginning together. The music had changed to Lohengrin. She saw Sam come and take his place before the altar. . . “There is only one Sam.” her mother had said. She scarcely saw Edna Cas | tine, the matron of honor. For Teresa coming down the aisle absorbed her whole mind. . . Teresa wearing electric blue. . . But was not Teresa flame and electricity and a high wind blowing? Teresa with a look of determination. . . D e t ermina tion? Not ecstasy? Yet-the col or of her would dye all of a man’s days and all of his nights. “Whom God hath joined to gether. . .” Sam kissed his wife tenderly. Alison held her breath. * * Then the chauffeur who had brought her mother and her to the church was driving them through this windy October night to Edna and Philip’s house in Virginia. Kitty said in a tired voice. “I wish we were going home.” Alison opened her gray eyes wide. “Don’t you want to go to the party?” Kitty laughed, but there were sad little cracks in her laugh ter. “Of course I do. Why should I say a thing like that? It’ll be fun. Champagne and dancing— like old times to me. You’ve never been to a party like this. Good for you to see how things are done when they’re done right.” Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully. “But I keep think ing what Teresa said when she came up to see us last summer. She said. ‘I am never going to marry anybody.’ ” “She changed her mind when she met Sam.” “Didn’t she though? I guess he’s the kind of a boy to change a girl’s mind.” “He isn’t a boy.” Kitty tilted her too-yejlow head and laughed again. “He's 24. Eight years older than you, my sweet. But when you’re 20 Sam will be 28. The day will come, you see, when you’ll be contemporaries.” The great brick colonial house sat proudly upon a hill. Bril liantly lighted tonight, it could be seen for miles around. As the large black car ascended with ease, the headlights gave Alison brief glimpses of formal gardens and the dark green of old boxwood. Like long waving arms the tall trees bent in the wind over the roof of the house. Inside the house was so large it seemed to dissolve her will, so that for the next few hours she was like a puppet on a string—except that she had eyes that could see and a mind that would remember. The receiving line. Teresa’s lips were as cool as her eyes. The look of determina tion was gone. If she had not still been sunburned, Alison thought, she would have locked pale with relief. “How pretty-.you look tonight, darling,” was- what she said. It was all that she said. Didn’t she notice, Alison uiuugm, mm sue was nor wear ing the aqua dress? Sam leaned toward Alison and touched her cheek with his lips. It was like rockets bursting in the air. . . And Sam was look ing at her with an expression that wouS haunt her from this moment on—as if he were try ing to convince himself of some thing he could not believe. . . And then she was moving along the line. Then faces floated up as faces in a dream and voices spoke in her ear. “And who are you, my dear?” “I’m Teresa’s sister.” “Really? I didn’t know Teresa had a sister.” She saw her mother with a glass of cham pagne in her hand and she was flirting a little with a small, dark, foreign-looking man. Kit ty’s plump hands were so nerv ous the champagne was spilling slightly on the most conserva tive frock she had ever owned. Perhaps she was afraid that if the little man left her she would be alone and no one else would talk to her. And there was food, beautiful food, heaps of it, and dresses that rustled as they passed and soft music and sure ly a thousand candles burning from silver candelabra. A young woman with smooth dark hair and a gay, wise, worldly face stopped before her. She wore a blouse that glittered. Siie and Tferesa were the only ones who were sunburned. “You must be Teresa’s sis ter,” she said. Her eyes were dark and merry. They were also eyes full of secrets. “And you must be suffering through this as I am, though for different reasons. You don’t know who I am, do you?” “No.” “I’m Nicola, Edna and Phil ip’s sister, the one they don’t talk about if they can help it. I would come home for a vis it and run into something like this.” “I think H’s lovely," Alieon said. “Yes, dear^ that’s what every one thinks — it’s lovely. So ro mantic and lovely. So sudden!’ She smiled ironicallv into Ali son’s face, carelessly flicked the ash from her cigaret and walk ed away. Across the room she whispered something into the e*e of a young man that made INDIAN HELD IN SHOOTING AFFRAY Rowland Man Tells Offi cers Of Harrowing Night f After Assault LUMBERTON, Oct. 9.—Brad dy Locklear, Indian, of Route 1, Rowland, is getting along well at a local hospital after an hours-long harrowing experi ence of being shot, beaten, rob bed, tied and thrown into Lum ber river near Pembroke Mon day night. McNeill Hunt, Fair mont Indian, is held in Robeson jail on a charge of secret as sault and kidnapping in connec tion with the affair, while Robe son county officers continue search for another man believ ed to have aided Hunt in the assault. Locklear told officers that Hunt and another man, whom he did not know, assaulted him about 8 o’clock Monday night. They shot him through the right thigh, he said, beat him about the head, robbed him of $400, then tied his hands together and threw him into the river. He was able to catch his hands on an overhanging tree limb and thus save himself from drowning, he said. He made his way to a nearby house about 2 o’clock the following morning and asked that officers be notified and ,an ambulance be sent for him. Officers today report that Locklear has a suit for $10,474 filed last May 8 pending in Robe son Superior court against Hunt, the suit arising from a collision between an automobile driven by Hunt and a pick-up truck op erated by Locklear. Also pending against Hunt is a suit filed on September 26, by Ila Oxendine, asking $10,000 damages from Hunt as result of injuries sustained in the same wreck while she was a passen ger in Locklear’s truck.

Voices swirling about her: “Do you think we’ll get into the war?” “Where have you been? We’re in it now—informally.” “Nonsense. I can’t see any logical reason for us to get mix ed up in it. It isn’t any of our business, after all. No, I think we’ll have the good sense to stay out of this one.” “Hitler says. . .” “Roosevelt says. . .” (To Be Continued) Tired Kidneys Often Bring Sleepless Nights Doctors say yonr kidneys contain 16 miles ©f tiny tubes or filters which help to purify the blood and keep you healthy.
