Martha Crandall had married Deeping Johnson In her father's home and remained there after her marriage, and after the death of the elder CraadalL Martha Crandall Johnson's daughter Adeline had been bora la that same house, in the same stodgy, high-celling, wainscoated bedroom la which she herself was born. It was a somber house, heavy woodwork, wooden pillars between archways, folding doors, long halls, pierglasses, hot-air furnace, push windowhangings, balcony-fronted china closets, hatracks, what-nots, great bronze figures for bric-a-brac, and a bronze clock with two bronze warriors for the centerpiece on the parlor mantel. And yet withal, there was within this house, the feeling of stability. Its silent old walls had soaked Into their timbers the emotions of sane, steadygoing folks. You felt about the house of the Crandalls that the people who Inhabited it had not made their money overnight, so to speak. Crandalls, ever since Crandalls had lived there, had been able to afford the substantial things of life. Little Adeline Crandall Johnson grew np In that environment, as blithely as if the somber old house had been a rose garden. She flitted through Its halls. She danced through its dark corridors as brilliantly as a butterfly, caught in some strange netherworld environment. staid, cotton merchant of a father and her mother Martha Crandall, who had been reared to be stolid, marveled at the electrical kind of brilliancy of this girl, their child. They marveled, and It was as if they warmed their icy fingers around the luminous flame of her personality. She was something so alien to them and yst so Incalculably fascinating. She had been born in the chill autumns of their lives, when Martha was forty-two and her husband fifty. Almost any way you looked at her she was a phenomenon, the last creature in the world you would have expected to spring from the union of two such angular souls at Martha Crandall and Deeping Johnson. Unconscious of the Incongruity of her young presence in the deep brown plush of the Crandall-Johnson environment, Adeline rushed into the flush of her adolescence. By this time the Crandall-Jolinsons were at the peak of the financial history of all the Crandalls who had occupied that house on Wlttegar street. Not only had Martha come Into a vaster than ever accumulation of Crandall's monies, but Deeping Johnson had practically cornered one of the most Important cotton markets In the history of the industry. * When Adeline Crandall Johnson was seventeen she was heiress to seven million dollars. More than that, and with an obsolete kind of solemnity of which they were totally unconscious, the parents of Adeline had picked out for her In marriage the son Of another local millionaire. It was one of those predetermined affairs about which there had not been much family discussion. It is doubtful If Adeline herself, In those years when she and the fat young boy were so consciously sent to dancing school together, was even conscious of the import of what was happening. Certainly Aa never took Donald Dugan seriously enough to even resent him. The fact that at seventeen and eighteen they were unofficially considered engaged, glanced off her bright young conscience with scarcely an impact. One night, however, In the great deep brown plush parlor, the young Dugan, probably on the crest of his first fierce wave of adolence, caught her Into his short round arms and kissed her wetly, patly, roundly, and with poeseselveness on the lips. Four weeks later Adeline Crandall Johnson eloped with her music teacher. It was one of those seven-day-wonder, local catastrophies. The town shivered. The town stood aghast. The newspapers, muted, as if stunned Into semlsllence, carried news of that marriage as If they were printing the story of a death. The house of the Crandall-Johnsons might be said to have shivered te Its very timbers. For three months the greet, solemn, brown doors were closed to Adeline and her slender blond husband. Then solemnly, Inevitably and rather terribly, with the news that Adeline was with child, they swung open, taking Into the silent maw of that house on Wlttegar street, the young figures of Adeline and Jacques Stendhal. Promptly It swallowed them. Promptly it engulfed them. Promptly the solemnity of that environment •owed around them In rivers brown as mud. The young Frenchman who had married Adeline because te him she was a flower alsooet too sweet to pluck, pulled ia the beginning against the drag of this environment. But in the end he, loot began te succumb. By the time Adeline's baby girl was born, the young pair were $art and parcel of the house located en Wlttegar street it cannot he said for Jacques Stendhal that he was of the stuff that parents would select aa the husband of a loved daughter. He was a frail fellow, probably in character, too. A constitutional dilettante, unstable by nature, playful, ant la a way that was forever to be adotabl* to Adeline, dependent upon her for decision. Then,' too, he loved her. There waa no doubt of that This volatile Frenchman, full of tndlUans that were alien to the vejry Wr and being of Adeline. had one qmUity of stability that was Impeccable. He loved Adoflne. - It was curious, but witgya tint household, slowly, surely, steadily, as relentlessly as the progress of a Greek drama, unspoken plans Mr the destiny of Adeline Stendhal began to shape themselves in the mind of Martha Crandall and her husband Deeping Johnson. This catastrophe that had come to them was not to be bprne. This frail, blond, volatile, young outsider, with the stage-like name of Jacques Stendhal, music teacher, was not to be endured within the substantial walls of the Crandall mansion. And It must be admitted, that aa time marched on, Jacques himself gave Justification to their enormous resentments against him. He twaddled away his days. After his mar*, rlage, his slight Income from the teaching of piano, fell off entirely. It waa nothing for him to spend hours on end in the narrow strip of garden behind the Crandall house, dandling his baby girl on his knees. In vain Adeline, as If she sensed the menace that was forming between them, pleaded with him to stabilize his life; to either resume his own profession of piano instruction, or adapt himself to some form of work in her father's vast cotton organisations. It was no use. To all Intents and purposes, Adeline had married a ne'erdo- well. When the baby was three years, old, a phantom of delight if ever there was one, affairs in that household began to shape themselves toward a climax. For thirty months Jacques Stendhal had not turned his hand in an earning capacity, the threats, the aspersions, the abhorrence of his parents- Inlaw notwithstanding. For thirty months, until her sweet eyes were rimmed with weeping, Adeline had importuned, begged, coaxed. And to what end? To the end that after these importunlngs, Jacques, remorseful for the moment, would promise, and the scene would end in one of play; the young father, the young mother, $helr child between them romping in their youth and vitality through the somber rooms of the somber mansion. It was at the end of the fourth year, however, that the older Orhndalls did succeed in creating a schism. It was finally borne in upon even Adeline herself that life with this play boy waa unendurable; It was not only unfair to herself and to her parents, but to the youngster at their knees, to continue as his wife. Just why it was unfair, Adeline never stopped to ask herself, except, that according to ali the traditions of the Crandalls and the Johnsons, every man must produce. It never occurred to Adeline that the fact that the Crandall- Johnsons had seven millions should be more than sufficient to offset the congenital shortcomings of Jacques. When the little girl was four years to the day, Adeline contented te tha divorce. Curious, but the reality of the situation never seemed to come home to Jacques. He could not take seriously the fact that this sweet girl of his life and heart was about to walk out of them. And yet she did. One year after Adeline's Incredible acquiescence to a divorce Jacques found himself back in his humble studio as piano teacher, pounding out his living at the keyboard. The situation* in the Crandall-Johnsofa house had progressed. With an acquiescence which seemed to denote that the strength for conflict had flowed out of her heart, Adeline resumed life according to the dictates of her parents. Not even the prospect of their designs for an approaching marriage with Donald Dugan seemed to penetrate the icy stolidity that had encased her since her official separation from Jacques Stendhal. Life resumed its even flow. She had her child, a small beauty, who Was permitted by court agreement, to visit her father once' every month, and Donald Dugan as eager as ever to marry her was reconciled to taking the little step-daughter along with his marriage contract to Adeline. Two nights before the wedding Adeline, still in what seemed to be her icy mantle of reserve, walked out of the Craadall-Johnson household with her child in her arms. At ten o'clock that same night she eloped with Jacques Stendhal and was remarried to him In the office of a local magistrate. The Stendhals, there are Ave of them by now, are a playful, unstable, hilarious group. There are a pair of solemn brown doors that remain dosed against them. The Stendhals, both Jacquea and Adeline, try to feel solemn about that Somehow they cannot m-A*tY m* wh® Canada Thistles oa ffeir pidaliasf Y«A are hereby natttad to <pt «a§ care for the same .nt nace.
