The barn and outbuildings were set back a considerable distance from the house, but before they reached the barn there was a soft, scrambling sound inside of it. and is big black-and-white ca.t emerged from the half open door, blinking in the .sudden sunlight. He saw Susan. and started toward her with an excited whine.

"Stand perfectly still. Celia!"

Celia froze in her position and locket. down at the little girl who was standing still, her face alight with warm loving laughter. And then the stampede began. Cats raced from every direction -. big cats, medium-sized cats. 8”! Mid white striped cats, yellow cats and the big beautiful black and white cat with the golden eyes. Tumb- ling along at the rear of the stam- pede were half a dozen slx-week.s- old kittens, fat and round and soft looking with tiny faces eager as they mowed with delight at siglli. of the provider of their daily food.

For a moment there was pande- tnonium. The cats raced toward Susan, colliding with each other; there were a few "sphfts" as they in-iished past each other; an angry paw flicked out to strike at a passer-by; and then they cluster- ed about their mistress.

During the next few days Celia sai.-.' the Mallorys often. She liked them and she found them amus- ing company, and they were a sort of point of contact with friends she had left behind in New York. Wlii made no secret of his interest in her, but Cells; laughed and told herself that Win would be inter- ested in any woman he met who wasn't actually cross-eyed or past- iilty. so she took his attentions us l:i:htly as he gave them. found Jennifer Lawrence more green-eyed every day.

The group of guests now Azalea Court were ready to leave, their visit finished. They admit- ted frankly that they were borer. by the lack of daily newspap- ers. liy the fact that there was no radio and that. the beautiful big Capchart music machine in corner. equipped with an enor- mous library of records that rang- ed from the classics to the very latest. boogie woogie, was merely for playing records and not for re- laying news.

Several times one of the guests asked Celia for war news. Win would lzsten. resenting this intru- sion from the outside world into the little sanctuary he had so carefully planned and built.

Catherine had asked Celia to ride in to the shipyard town with them, to put their guests aboard the train. and Celia had accepted eagerly. She hadn't been in town 5ll'lCC her arrival and there were a few bits of shopping she wanted to do.

When they were leaving Aza- lea Court. Jennifer came down:

cariyving her bags. She wore a lirief white sports frock, and car-i tied a wide-hrimmed hat in hei” hand.

They all trooped-out to the sin- tlon wagon. Jennifer installed her- self in the front seat beside the driver. when everybody was in the station wagon except Win andi Celia. Win slammed the grinned at Catherine and "You drive. Cath. Celia, and I will follow. We'll need both coming back."

"That was meaii,” Celia W-in sharply. "You did that cieii-1 l)('l'l'tCly to humiliate her and think it was rotten of you!"
