(© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.* F THE president of the Colombo Gunnysack Company had ever had time to feel sorry for himself, he might have experienced some righteous qualms of self-pity. As a matter of fact, he did not have time. The small factory of which he was president and treasurer occupied practically all of hM waking hours and, alas, too many of the hours that should have been devoted to sleep. It was that kind of business; one that needed Incessant coaxing, surveillance and study. As Tom Olausson's wife Nedda did not hesitate to put it. It was one of those cussedly little businesses that yielded Its profits begrudglngly and then only after exacting unremitting toll and worry. - There was plenty to keep Tom Clausson worried. The house on Ulster Street was one of those large, rambling, pretentious affairs that; even with the persons of his three grown daughters and wife In It, required more help than, any other home on the street. Nedda, as you would naturally expeet of a good and conscientious mother, demanded the best for those three girls and for her son Milton, who, at twenty-one, was still in college. Nedda^had a philosophy Of life. That philosophy was that her children were to be reared with the instinct to get something out of life. Whatever of her own experiences, or lack of them, may have gone Into this decision, Bbe never divulged. But here was a woman with a formula. Her three daughters and her sob were being reared on the principle that life was an orange to be squeezed dry of content. In other words, Nedda Clausson was like a general campaigning the lives of her children. And. strangely enough, campaigning tt to their satisfactions. It kept Tom's nose to the grindstone, no doubt of that. At fifty-five, he looked ten years older and his knees were bent, but his three daughters were college graduates, his son was about to become one, and the big house on Ulster Street was one of the most exclusive social meccas of the city. Nedda, who privately considered her life a lusterless affair of economic strife, had the satisfaction of seeing her daughters .launched with Impressive debut. It had been her misfortune to marry a man destined for only the petty successes of the average. She was determined that her children should not suffer the handicap of such deterring causes. The three daughters of the Tom Claussons, one by one, made marriages worthy of the ambitions of their mother. The eight years covering the period of those mariages were the most taxing in the Ufa 6f Tom Clausson. In its effort to meet, the demands put upon it by the burdens of Its president, the little gunny-sack factory staggered past one financial crisis after another. There were nights when Tom Clausson, lying beside his Wife, did not close his eyes, planning, figuring, manipulating, scheming one more way to tide over what threatened to be a disastrous climax In the financial affairs of the firm. Indeed, after the marriage of his third daughter, bankruptcy was so narrowly averted that Tom Clausson's hair committed the miracle of turning practically white within a month. And then, to cap that climax, there came upon the house of Clausson what in Nedda's eyes amounted to a blight that obliterated all three sr.ccecses which she had achieved In jfeer daughters. Frank Clausson, college .senior, eloped-wlth a showgirl. The blow fell on Tom with a finality that was crushing. For years he had looked forward to the time when this boy of his could bring into the business a shoulder to the wheel. Money, hope and affection had been expended upon him. Tom Clausson, who was steeled against complaint, felt despair. In the end, Nedda Gaasson was obliged to rescind her stern refusal ever to permit Frank and his bride to enter the home on Ulster Street. Frank fell ill of pneumonia In the college town where he was trying to earn a precarious living as a haberdasher's clerk and Nedda and Tom were sent for as the situation began to seem critical. In the end, Frank and his bride re* turned with the older pair to the house on Ulster Street. Frank was a fair, frail and magnetic fellow and his wife, named Marigold, ,was Just that. Her prettlness was a perfect kind of thing. It astonished old Tom Claiftson. Her bright beauty hud a quality to it that he had never before seen. It made the more studied perfection of his daughters pale to the cemmonplace. But all In all, the coming home of Frank and his bride was at an unpropitious time for the Claussons. The business, as If reacting from the long strain of years, slumped into what was a chronic precarious state. There were days when black thoughts of suicide actually crossed the tired old brain of Tom Clausson. Nedda did not make things any easier to bear. The homecoming of her daughter-inlaw was bitter, humiliating and shameful to her. Social stigma was across the name of a Clausson. Marigold had not only been notorious as a show girl, but she was the daughter of one of the most notorious women In New York. Not her beauty pr her radiance could efface the hatred front the heart of Nedda. It was not a studied hatred. It 1q possible that It was not all a conscious hatred. And In the end Ironically enough it reacted most cruelly of all upon old Tom. Nedda, with the sense of superiority that galled and at the same time animated her, out to Impress Marigold with the scale of living of the family into which she had so unwelcomely projected herself. After the advent of Frank and Marlgold into the household, the regime there became more complicated and more ostentatious. There was less entertaining. Nedda was too embarrassed for that, but a new car was. added to the several In the garage, fresh flowers blazed throughout the bouse, and Nedda took frequent trips to town for new and expensive clothes. It was a curious, twisted reaction that took place in Nedda. She wanted to impress Marigold and yet not to share. Day after day she set out Tor. calls, for bridge, for visits upon her daughters, for this and that recreation without Inviting Marigold. Frank's heart bled for his bride. Yet the alacrity with which she set about adapting herself to her uncongenial environment wis surprising. It Was hard to quarrel with one who held her peace and recognized no slight. It was hard to pick dissonances with one whose capacity for sweetness was without limit. Marigold was like that Frank blessed her In his heart, but, with her, kept up the pretense of not noticing, ! Tom Clausson, whose quandary and/ panic grew as his home burdens be-:.' came inexplicably heavier, eyen with his (laughters married and gone, pretended, too, not to notice. She could keep playful under a snub. Marigold could. That was part of the wonder of her. No limit to her capacity for nonsense and yet, withal, there were scars across the very being of Marigold. Her life as a child had been -cruelly sophisticated. She had seen life in the raw with those clear blue eyes of hers and yet she could laugh as a child laughs. Tom Clausson, when he could not sleep, used to ^ like to think of that laughter. And' more and more his could not sleep. Grave times were about to fall upon him and he knew It The business was about to crash. One day, In the midst of those ter* rlfying times. Marigold Clanssott sought out her father-in-law in hl| dingy office in the gunnysack factory," He was a tired old man now and hi| head had begun to shake with pals/. "Frank and I," she began without preliminaries, "want to take over th* responsibilities of the business. I have succeeded in negotiating a loan for twenty-five hundred dollars, at six per cent. That will avert anything immediate. It'll get us on our feet." "What do you mean?" said her father-in-law, and looked into her eyet which were as blue as a doll's. "You needn't bo, afraid that I am not capable of taking hold. I've been out In the world all my life. I've known nothing but knocks and hardship and struggle. I was a business woman before I went Into the theater. I am not afraid of work. Frank has the makings of a business man. I'U make him." •Tm tired. Marigold," said Claussoa and, to his enormous humiliation and surprise, began to cry weakly with tenrs running down his face. He was not accustomed to anyone being personal with him. "• "I know you are, Father,** said Marigold, and laid her hand on Ills arm, "but nobody seems to have cared enough to notice it It's time now that you were beginning to get something out t>f life, as well as the other members of your family. I'm going to see to It." - v*;. • % She did. \ ^ Saw Ka4 tm IbvMttea ~ ft 'Is one oft the legends of the patent oflce, but cannot be absolutely authenticated, that an official offered to resign from the patent office many years ago because. he thought everything had been Invented.
