Man Who Gives Away
$280,000 Refuses to
Talk About Donation
LOS ANGELES.— () —An 88-
year-old man, who haa just glven

the gift Tuesday. He said he pre
férred to talk about what he had
received,
He was Willard A. Van Brunt,
founder of the Van Brunt Manu

Wis. :
To each of 89 veteran workers
angd five widows of former em

for years of loyalty, three SI,OOO

The retired manufacturer, in hi:
Los Angeles home today, parried
questions about his gift by show
ng his gift from ‘“the boys,” a pho
tograph of his former associates
and employes framed in a black
walnut frame, cut and turned
from the base of the lathe on
which he learned his trade. .
“We never forgot each . other
and the boys sent me this- ino
1932,” said' Van Brunt. “I had
been planning to do something
for them since a day I call one of
the unhappiest mile-posts of my
life—the winter morning in 1918
when 1 left my Horicon home and
the boys.”
The Van Brunt company manu
factures - farm impléments ancé
since 1918 has been a subsidiary
of the Peere company.

Katharine Strykhurst beau
tiful, 20, is discontented and
restless because her wealthy
father, Victor Strykhurst, and
her aristocratic stepmecther,
Bertine, refuse to let Katharine
undertake any sort of work.
Katharine rides daily with
Michael Heatheroe, young
westerner who runs a riding
club. She assures herself she
is not interested in Michael
but feels a pang of jealousy
when Sally Moon, local co
quette, enrolls at the club for
lessons.-
During a storm Michael and
Katharine take shelter in a
wayside cabin. Katharine pro
vokes Michael into seizing her
roughly. He apologizes later.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER 11
Zoe Parker sat at the breakfast
table in the new pseudo-Spanish
house her parent. had built on the
very tip-end of Innicock Point. A
.1l built of blue stuceo and st
ded at intervals with ornamental
colored tiles bounded their
grounds. 'vhere was a yacht land
ing and a pier, and several small
boats floaied at anchor at the foot
of the steps. Zoe, wearing shorts
and a middy-like white blouse
which made aer look like a very
small girl, drank iced orange
juice from a glass aecorated with
lilies of the valley. The glass
stood in the center of a bowl of
the same delicate make. There
weore sheer linen mats, (he texiure
of cobwebhs, on the old oaken tabte.
The maid who serve Zoe was in
pale yeliow, with a mausical com
edy apron. mverything Mrs. Par
ker did er touched had this fa‘ni
ly unrea: theatrical air. Heary
Parke: rad madé his money ia au
tomobile tires and Lisa ‘Parker
knew how to spend it.
The one concern of this pair at
the moment was their daughter.
Zoe had been born to them late
in life—Lisa had been 38 when
Zoe's first faint scream was heard
above the other hospital noises—
and now Zoe, at 20 was - every
thing lovely, but she was a silly
little thing. Even Lisa ackncwl
edged it. Lisa, who had covkad
and scrubbed and washed dishes

Zoe folded back f:hc' fiewspaner to the social notes. Her heart turned over — once —twice —at what'
she read. o .
for 10 years in a little fiat in De- |
troit before Henry came into the |
money, had a fund of ‘‘good, hard | |
common sense.” She said so her- |
self. Zoe was frivolous as the
wind, or as a butterfly set free J.
over a bed of ageratum. And |,
Zoe's mania at the moment was |
Gibbs Larkin, who was 35 and |,
who had been corespondent in at |
least two divorce cases. . i
Lisa Parker told herself com- |
fortably, coming into the break- |
fast rooth which fairly glitter-3 | .
with sunshine, that Zoe had |,
probably “got all over that,” Lisa |
wasn't -absolutely sure, bu@ she |
hoped for the best. Hadn't that |
nite yoting man on the boat—the |4
Princeton boy—made a terrifiet

fuss about Zoe? Never called her
anything but “Beautiful” all the
live-long day And had sent fiow
ers twice since they'd heen back.‘
Lisa hadn't asked about Gibbs
'—but she hadn’t needed to. Peo-'
ple had been careful to tell her.
that Gibbs was in Maine for the|
month of July, at least. So that|
was all-right. How could Zoe
care anything about him? “Vhy,
he was so dissipated looking -— be
fat, too, soon if he wasn’'t care
ful! But there was something—
she didn't know—about a man ln|
his middle thirties that seemed to
attract young girls. They got ti"edl
of the boys they knew. Al the
‘boys had “lines.” Maybe that was
it;“Well, Gibbs had a “line,” too,.
by S 8
i
although Zoe wouldn't admit it.
Zoe incisted he d been Lhe victim
of circumearice. Well, prubaisy
they were all through with that
particular phase. By the .time
Gibbs came back to Innicock—if
he did come back Zoe would prac
tically have forgotten him. May
be she’'d be engaged . . . ;
Thus Lisa Parker's thoughts on
this fine morning. :
“The storm,” she said, casu v,
to her daughter, “just about ruined
my delphiniums.”
Zoe lifted a transparent cp snd
drank her coffee. :
“Terrible!” she said affably.
Wasn't it funny. Zoe mused how
older women were about garden
ing? Herself, she simply couldn't

—By MARTIN
—By CRANE
imagine Zussing about anvthing
so uniwaportant. She folded back
Lue newspareér Lefore her 1. the
social notes. Her heart turnd over
—Cnce-—iwive. It thudded, ad
then righted itself again.
“Mr. Gibbs Larkin is at™ the
Jequot House at White Bay and
will shoriiy depart with friends on
a yachting party for Nova' Scotia’
So that was it. Would a no*2 o
the _ Pequot “douse—air wMeil—
reach him in time Gibbs—uUibbs,
darling, didn't anyone tell you 1
was back? Didn’'t you get my
note? : it
“Will you have mniore coffee
Miss Zoe?" asked the Flack-haired
ma:d, Gerda, at her elbow’ .
“No, I think nct. Gerda, thank !
yvou.” What did Gerda think
abeut when she wasn’'t shining up‘
the silver and making the beds
Slie had a yourg man who worked
on boats over at the cluk, a stolid
young Germin with a forelock
fashion. Did Gerda's heart go
pitty-pat whenever this young
man passed by? Zoe wanted to
know . |
“Tell cook ‘to order some more
of that gluton bread,” Mrs. Par
ker said. “And tell her to come to
me in the morning room right af
ter T have my manieure. We're
having a dinner party tomorrow
night, I've got to see to every
thing,” ske grumbled delightedly,
once the maid had vanished behind'
the swinging door. It was deli
cious to be home again, back from
the wilderness of boats and hotels
and trains angd taxis. Lisa Parker
had had 15 years of running a flat
on a budget of $lO a week. No
wonder she exulted in the manage
ment of this big house with its
backgrounds of blue water and its
acre of colorful garden.
“Who's coming?”’
“Oh, thel Strykhursts and the
Julians, and Captain Bryne and
his fianceé. Two or three other
people-—=l forget—your father has
the list.” fmalen
“Do 1 show up?” - !
“You certainly dol!” Mrs. Par.
tker made her eyes very round-
She wasg a plump, well-facea wo
'man with a nice color and ¢lheer
ful blue eyes behind nose glasses.
"You could see that she, too, had
been a pretty girl; like Zoe, with
all Zoe's amination and verve.
“Dad is having Mr. Cotaine
from the office—very nice Eng
lishman, rubber expert, to take
you in;” Mrs. Parkr went on
“Son of a lord; Dad says.”
Zoe made a not altogether com
plimentary sound with her pret
ty lips.
“Naughty girl,” cooed Mrs.
Parker. “What else did you have
in mind?”
“There’s a dance at the club”
Zoe pouted. “Frank Corliss was
coming for it.”
“The Princeton Boy?” Mrs. Par
ker beamed. Zoe squirmed in
wardly, hating the deception but
not being able to do much about
it. She knew very well her mother
had welcomed the tall, blond,
sophomoric Corliss as an antidote
to Gibbs. Might as well make
Mother happy by kidding her
along oy
“The very one."”’
“Well,” pondered Lisd ' Parker
happily, “Dad can arrarge that.
We'll all go over to the club later
then. Wouldn't you like to ask
Frank to dinner, too? Perhaps 1
can get Katharine Strykhurst.
That will make the table just
Bt oy
¥ “No, don't” Zoe said hastily.
“He's 'dining with some people
from Searsdale. The Williamses—
Willises—something like that, He
just said he'd see me there.” It
woudn't do to get Mother toe ex
cited about Frank Corliss. She'd
h@§ having them engaged before
you knew it. Engagements were
Mother's meat. She adored them
—that 18, if the man was suitably
voung and rich and decent-look
ing She would never, never have
consented 'to an erngagement be
tween Zoé and Gibbs . . .
“Not,” admitted Zoe to herself,
“hat He ever asked me . . .7
“Katharine i busy, anyhow,”
shé amended * hastily. “There's
some boy she khew at art school
ih New York now. He's coming
out for the dance.” ’
“*Oh, Very well, then. It's all
settled'” Mrs, Parker was per
fectly happy this morning. Things
seemed to be going unuysually
well. Zoe appeared to be conten
ted; the trip had been a sucecess.
Zoe ran out of the house and
around to the garage Waters was
polishing the car in which her
father drove to town every morn
ing. .
My cdr all right?”
The little chauffeur came around
to the side of Zoe's roadster. “It
was the gearshift lever sticking
