Chapter XXXIIL "yes," repeated 'O'Day, "there was hell to pay when Harry and Marie came back." He fell silent, chéwing on the end of his cigar. "Go on," Jimmy had turned quite pale. He lit another cigarette and puffed at it nervously. "The whole town was up in the air," resumed O'Day. "I can still ge6 them now, the way everbody buzzed about the affair and hung '| around* to see what had happened. They were mighty curious to know whether 'the kids had got married. Whether 'hey had or hadn't, it was * fsomething to talk about." "And had they?" "Ot course not. They had tried fo: Marie' conld lie about her agé an' get away with it, but Harry Rand looked too much like the kid he was, "They held the kids for a while at the town lockup, waitin' for their parents to come after them. When Thaddeus Rand and old Angelo Real get there, Angelo listens for a minute to their story an' them he turns to Thaddeus and demands that Harry marry Marie. © 'My girl will have a bad name,' he:says. "There's nothin' else to do.' "Thaddeus Rand doesn't say a word. He just looks at Angels, his face white-as a sheét., Finally he says, 'I thought that's what you were after, an' turns to Harry. 'You come home with me,' he says. "Neither of 'em--Thaddeus or Angelo--understood. The kids had. n't done anything wrong. They ware just nuts about each other, so they made up Bop Binds to déty their parents an' married. They couldn't, an a all Shere was to it. "But all Angelo could think of was that his daughter had run away} with this boy an' they'd been gone for a day an' a hail.

'Get out of my house an' don't come back." Then he walked, out.of the back of the store." ".¢My brother had to pick Harry up. He had fainted. An' for several days after that he couldn't walk. The blow that had knocked him to the floor was a crack on the knee that was terrible. It was enough to cripple him for life." "Il know," sald Jimmy. "My tather's left leg was stiff. He limped when he walked. But he never did tell us how he got it." "Well, it .must have been that awful beatin'. My brother took him home to our house, where we had the doctor for him. He was with us for four days, with never a word from his father. Then he left town, after thankin' my mother, an' not a one of us ever saw him again." O'Day sighed heavily. "It was a rotten shame," he growled. "But nobody could blame Harry. The lad had spirit. He couldn't go back after what Thaddeus had sald. The old man simply didn't understand' him." : "And Angelo Real? do?" "Oh, Angelo was all right. He had one of these hot tempers that flared up quick an' died down just as sudden. He forgave Marie right away. He even went around to tell Thaddeud that he didn't meant what he had Baid about the kids marryin'. Thadfleus didn't speak to him." "And my grandfather--what be- came of him?" "Well, now, comes the strange part of the story. I think at last he | came to realize what he had done] an' he was sorry for fit, although he'd neyer admit it to a soul. "The whole town turned against him. You see everybody was in sym- pathy with the son. He hung around | his store, pale an' silent. . Ewery-| body knew he was waitin' for Harry to come back, or maybe for a letter trofa him. But none ever came to the postoffice. The postmaster had his eyes open---you can be sure of that. "Thaddeus must have remained in Durbin for another six months, Finally it got too much for him. He could feel the town's hostility on every side of him. People refused to come to his store. They wouldn't speak to him when they saw him on the street. If you've ever lived in a small town, Rand you'll know what 4 terrible thing it is to be boy- cotted like that. "Finally he found a man who was willin® to buy his drug store. He opened up a little to him an' told him what a fool he had been--that he had learned a great lesson. He said he was convinced that his un- reasonin' anger had lost his son to him forever. 'Everybody's against me," he says, 'an' I don't blame them. I'm goin" away where nobody knows me. I'm not fit to bear the name of Rand any more." "You see, remorse finally got him, As soon as he had sold his business he left town. But first he went around to eall on old Angelo Real "'I'm sorry," he says to Angelo, 'for what I said to you. I hope you'll forgive me.' "So Angelo shook hands with him. Thaddeus Rand left towh that night an', just like your father, he dropped completely out of sight, as far as the folks fn Durbin were con- cerned." "And that's all?" was still very white. "That's all, lad. Nobody ever heard a word from either one of them. Your father was proud, too." "Yes, he was. . .poor dad." Jim- my stood up. "And Marie "Real? What became of her?" "Oh, Maurie. You see, bld Angelo had ambitions for her to become an opera singer. He spent money on her voice, an' she did have a pretty good one. She graduated from high school an' then she went away to take vocal lessons somewhere, I think she did go on the stage, or be- come a concert singer or something. Nobody got to know 'very much § Angelo moved away shortly after she graduated trom high school." Jimmy glanced at What did he Jimmy's face his watch. Lord, I didn't know it was 80 late.
