A CHALLENGE TO ELLEN
CHAPTER V
Tf/'HF.N Stephen Curt ushered
her into his stepmother's
presence Dnftia thought, "This
isn't real. It's a play, Old ladies
like that are only on the screen.
It's make-up that causes her to
look like that!"
But when Ellen Curt spoke
there was no mistaking her genu-
ineness. "So, Stephen, you've
come to your senses at last! I
didn't think you'd let the money
get ijway from you. Sit down,
both of you, and tell mo where
you found this girl."
Diana sank into a small, an-
cient, overstuffed chair, but Ste-
phen strode restlessly, about. Mrs.
Curt sat on a straight-backed sofa
as if she scorned anything soft
and yielding.
She was small and fat, but there
was an alertness about her that
centered in her little twinkling
black eyes. Her hair was gray
and curled neatly. Her gown was
gray, too, of a stiff, rustling ma-
terial, and on her tiny feet were
pearl gray satin slippers.
"Well, begin, Stephen! Tucker,
you say the girl's name is—who
is she and where did she come
from?"
Disconcerting, being discussed
as if you weren't present. Diana
didn't line that. She sht forward
on her chair. "You'll let me tell
you, won't you?"
Diana glanced at Stephen, saw
him stop his pacing to watch her
face. She hoped she wouldn't say
too much, but she couldn't lie to
this clear-eyed old woman.
"I've followed your steps-on's
work for a long time," she said
slowly. "Both I and the members
of my family have admired him
greatly. We think lie's a very
great man." .
"Of course he's n great man,"
Ellen Curt repeated, tapping her
little gray slipper.
"Today I met him for the first
time."
She thought the black eyes
opened wider, and for a moment
she expected tin outburst OT in-
dignation, but after a short pause
the old woman said imperiously,
"Go on."
"Mr. Curt was in the office
where I worked when I lost my
job. I think he must have felt
sorry for me. And so he explained
the terms of his inheritance to
me. He asked me to marry him.
That's all. 1 see you're greatly
surprised, but I don't see why
you should be. After all. lie's be-
ing forced into a marriage that
means nothing to him. Do you
think that's fair?"
* !« 9
OLD Mrs. Curt gasped. Could
the girl have suspected that it
was she, herself, who had per-
suaded her late husband to insert
that clause in the will? Anything,
she thought, was better than hay
ing him fall prey to some ad von
ture.-s. Many brilliant men did,
especially when the woman they
loved had married someone else,
and had their careers ruined
thereby. Stephen would be saved
that. She meant to choose his
wife herself. But this girl whom
he had brought for approval was
something quite outside her expe-
rience. f
"It's nothing to you. young lady,
whether what I do is fair or not.
It may not have occurred to you
that 1 have a very good reason
in wanting to secure Stephen's
happiness. His father was con-
cerned only with his welfare."
"But. didn't think enough of his
judgment to allow him to choose
a wife for himself!"
"That's enough. Evidently
you've agreed to the proposition,
or you wouldn't hav6 come here."
"Not at all," Diana answered
coolly. "Stephen said you wanted
to look me over, and 1 certainly
claim the same privilege. I have
not made a decision one way or
the other."
Stephen's eyes were dancing
delightedly. Not in years, he
knew, had anyone spoken to Ellen
Curt in just such a way. He rather
suspected that old Ellen was en-
joying the tilt, foo. From the way
her eyes snapped, from the way
the little gray satin slipper tapped
the floor.
"Oh, I suppose then you'd have
to approve of me?"
"Certainly. You wouldn't want
someone in the family who
wouldn't like you, would you?"
"Humph! Well, then—what do
you think of me?"
Suddenly Diana smiled. She
had seen beneath the forbidding
exterior. "1 think," she said, "you
could be rather a darling if you'd*
let yourself." T
Old Ellen Curt actually looked
embarrassed. It had been so very
many years since anyone had
called her a darling! She did not
see a great many young people
and Diana Tucker was like a
breath of springtime. Pretty, the
old woman thought, and like
Stephen she recognized the
strength of character in the girl's
face. Stephen I ,d been a fool for
picking a girl tit random,like this
—Lilt .surprising! •' •' Wiui going to
be all right.
♦ * *
rPIIEY talked together for a long
time—Diana told about her
people and the farm and old
Ellen nodded v. ii ely. "Good, plain
stock," she muttered, and at last
she said. "You'll d«i. You must
marry Stephen at once!"
But Diana aie v,. . e<l quickly,
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to tall:
to my father about it first,"
"Very well." Stephen said,
"when can you leave for home?"
"Tomorrow."
"That's Sunday, How long
would you want to stay"."'
"Until about Wednesday, I
think."
"All right. Give me instructions
as to how to get there and I'll
drive down for you On Wednes-
day. I can get back i'or my broad-
cast Wednesday night."
"Yes, I'd like that. We could
talk to my father together."
And so it was arranged and
old Ellen Curt, sat on her straight
sola and watched them go. Her
little black eyes were alight with
interest. Nobody's fool, that girl.
No cringing be,'ore her, either,
suing for favor. Straightforward,
honest. Already Stephen was at-
tracted to her—going down for
her on Wednesday. Old Ellen was
smiling as she went to her room
for the night.
Stephen drove Diana back to
the rooming house and it had
never looked so shabby before.
He held her hand warmly at the
door. "You're a good sport, Diana
Tucker, for even considering it,'*
he said gravely. "I shall see to it
that you're not sorry. Thank you
iind goodby until Wednesday."
When ho had gone she went
slowly tip to her little room and
began to put some of her things
into a suitcase. Then she called
her landlady,
'I'm leaving tomorrow," she
said. "I don't think I'll be back.
But will you keep my trunk until
I call for it?"
Why had she said that? she j.
wondered. Had she already made ^
up her mind?
