THE STORY: Fulling in love
nad mot been Clemeney Norton’s
ijdea when she became nursery
governess to Baba, small daughter
of Syrie and Jon Amberley, but
soon Clemency realizes she has
lost her heart to Piers Amberley.
Jon's brother, at whose luxurious
~North African home the married
ramily lives. Syrie is bitingly sar
castic when she hears the news
and Jon watches his wife with an
almost frightening grin of sardonic
smusement. When Clemency re
{urns to the nursery that night she
finds Baba in bed under an open
window with the eool night air
trom the Algerian desert blowing
in on her. The child is chilled and
the next day slightly ill. Clemen
¢y learns that Jon must have left
the window open when he sat with
the child. Clemency is told that
day by Syrie that she Intends to
engage a new*go:ren:m soon.
XXVI
Clemency had said nothing
sbout .finding the nursery open,
rnowing that it would only cause
2 row between Syrie and Jon and
f acrimenious passages between
ihose two could be avoided, she
relt it would be a slight relief. She
had warned Louilie to say nothing,
hut she had every intention her
<elf of coping with Jon in no un
certain manner at the first oppor
{unity.
“Baba’s only got a little cough,”
Syrie said after visiting the nurs
ery, where Baba was inclined to
enjoy being an invalid. “It’s ridic
ulous to keep her in. I've told Lou
ilie she can go out.”
“I don’t think she should,” pro
fested Clemency. “She kicked off
her bed clothes last night and got
chilled—"
“Nonsens2. On a day like this,”
interrupted Syrie. “The sun will do
her good. I have told Louilie to
take her out — please see my or
ders are obeyed.”
Seething with anger Clemency
looked after Syrie as she walked
out of the room, shutting the door
abruptly behind her. She wished
piers were here, and she could
have consulted him. She did not
feel Baba should go out; but un
fortunately Syrie was the child’s
mother. 5
Baba seemed a little more fever
ish when she came in, and by the
evening she was coughing quite a
lot. So_that when Piers returned
just before dinner, and came
straight up to the nurseries, she
asked him if he would mind very
much if she stayed with Baba—as
it was Louilie’s free evening.
“Of course I mind. I'll probably
come and keep you company lat
er,” he told her. “If visitors are
allowed!” Then the tender laugh
ing faded from his eyes: “That kid
does look off-color. I'll telephone
in the morning for the doctor to
come, shall 1?”
“It would be a good idea,” said
Clemency. “Ought you to ask Mrs.
Jon?”
“No. Y shall tell her I have sent
for him.,” Again that shadow in
his face. But it was gone, and she
forgot it as he drew her into his
% DOG TALES
&1‘ . Ballader and Dog Breeder
N):‘,g\(‘,vivwny TOM FABLEY -k
WHEN Burl Ives, the “Wayfaring
Stranger”” of radio and concert
fame, sings *old Blue”, he puts
into the song all the affection and
warmth he feels for the canine
species. Perhaps the plaintive folk
air about the pup that was “just
dog” reminds Ives of the Collie he
owned as a boy on a Midwestern
farm. Anyway, his wife says that
she has watched tears come to the
cyes of many a grown man or wo
man listening to “Old Blue” at one
of his eoncerts.
Most of his admirers know that
‘he big, bearded ballader owns a
Great Dane, Major Ives of Diamond
Lane, a handsome black and white
Harlequin that tips the scales at
207 lbs. However, it isn’'t as well
known that he not only owns, but
breeds, Danes at his California
ranch in the San Fernando Valley.
While Ives has rolled up thousands
of miles of travelling time, flying
to singing engagements throughout
the country, Major has chalked up
an equally impressive record. He
#ot only accompanies-his master on
many singing tours, but has made
the circuit of Eastern dog shows,
g:)('king up a number of blue rib
ns en route.
& One summer Ives and Major took
2 mountain trip in Utah. Despite
the fact that both master and dog
are pretty large physical specimens
(each weighing over 200 Ibs.), they
shared a tent during the several

“Missed me today—a lttle?”
“Every minute'when you are not
here,” she confessed. “I always
shall.” #
“Darling—" He kissed her, be
tween her eyes so candidly full of
her love, on either cheek, and then
lingeringly on her mouth.
“You've a wonderful technique
for a bachelor,” said Clemency,
rubbing her cheek against his
shoulder. “Oh, Piers! I never
dreamt I'd dare say all these things
to you!”
He lifted her chin, a finger be
neath it. “There are so many things
I want to hear you say. Know
what the most important will al
ways be?”
“NO'O-"
“You do. Three words.”
“I love you—" She turned her
head quickly. “Listen to that child
coughing.”
But Piers was in no mood to lis
ten to anything of the sort just
then as he drew her face round to
his again.
:* W L
Can one be too happy? Clem
ency wondered dreamily, smoking
a cigaret in the day nursery two
hours later.
Baba was sleeping—not as qui
etly as she would have liked her
to be—(Piers was sure to remem
ber to send for the doctor) and
she was alone with her thoughts.
Loving Piers—being loved by
him—having each other always.
She fhought, a little smile touch
ing her lips: I suppose I always
knew it would be like this—when
it came. I'm glad I never cheated—
I'm glad I never cheapened myself.
I'm glad every heartbeat—all I
am are his.
She turned her head suddenly,
conscious that there was someone
else in the room, and saw Jon
Amberley watching her from the
doorway, that half sneer on his
face which she had noticed when
he watched Syrie yesterday.
“Hello, future sister-in-law,” he
said, moving forward rather care
fully. “I’ve come to see my daugh
ter.”
Obviously, although he was not
drunk, he was far from sober.
“Don’t go into the night nursery,
please,”, Clemency said crisply.
“Baba is asleep. She hasn't been
well all day, and I don’t want her
disturbed,”
L ]
Jon was in the mood to take of
fense, having had far more to
drink than her inexperience
guessed. He looked at her trucu
lently. “My kid, isn’t she? Or has
my wife given orders, or my wife's
boy friend?”
“Don’t be silly,” she said coldly.
“Baba’s got a bad cold. If she
wakes up now she won’t get off to
sleep again easily. And it’s your
fault she has got a cold.. Why did
you leave the nursery window
open last night?” ’
Jon looked taken aback at this
direct attack. “Me?”
“Yes, you. I came in and found
it wide open.” :
His ‘expression changed to dis
may. “I went out on thé balcony
weeks of the trip. When they re
turned to the ranch, Ives put Major
in the dog house as-usual. But the
trip had revolutionized the Great
Dane's ideas about sleeping arrange
ments. He took Ives’ hand gently
in his teeth (his way of showing
his master where he wants him to
go), led him to the dog house and
insisted that he come inside. Once
the singer was in, Major settled
down happily on his blanket. It
was plain that, if he couldn’t sleep
in the house nights, Ives would
simply have to join him in his own
sleeping quarters. 8
Strangers often ask Burl Ives
the question that is' so familiar to
a Great Dane owner: “Doesn’t your
dog eat you out of house and
home?”’ Ives patiently replies that
he doesn’t consider Major's appe
tite phenomenal considering -his
great size. He explains that Major
actually ate more when he was
still a growing puppy.than he does
now he is a full grown dog.
“A big dog is not a luxury when
it comes to feeding him,” Tves
claims. “Many big dogs eat little
more than their ~moderate size
brothers.” 5 > -
Anyway, he is quick to point out
that Major is entitled to eat as
much as he likes, since he is “self
supporting.” The sales of Major's
yearly litter of puppies actually
pays for his food and that of his
mate, Cheena.

“It’s never stifling in there. The
ventilators are always open. I
found her with no bed clothes on
and chilled through and through.”
“My fault. I was a fool.” ?
“Be more careful next time,”
said Clemency more gently. “A
child could get pneumonia that
way.” .

Safefy Council
Gives "Shocking’
CHICAGO, June 10—(AP)-~-The
National Safety Council expressed
hope Friday that the nation will
be “shocked into action” by learn
ing that 455 persons died in acci
dents in one non-holiday weekend.
‘The figure represents the toll
reported last weekend in a 102-
hour survey made by the Associat
‘ed Press. The check was designed
to provide a comparison with the
four-day Memorial Day weekend.
The comparison showed the fol
lowing accidental death totals:
Memorial Day -— Traffic 375,
drownings 96, miscellaneous 128,
Total 571,
Last weekend — Traffic 270,
drownings 75, miscellaneous 110,
Total 455.
Ned H. Dearborn, Safety Council
president, said the survey has pro
duced two significant facts:
1. “Holiday traffic tolls are, just
as we have feared, greater than the
more normal toll by about 30 per
cent. Therefore, there is need for
extra effort to meet the extra
dangers due to the increase in traf
fic volume over holiday periods.”
2. “Even on a non-holiday week
end there is a death toll from acci
dents that is appalling and a dis
grace to any civilized nation. Cer
tainly no one can ever be compla
cent when 455 people are being
killed in all kinds of accidents over
a four-day period in a needless and
tragic manner.
“We sincerely hope this survey
will shock the nation into action
against accidents.”
