In His Hour of Need
(Continued from page 47)
Reed was the little fellow in a velvet Lord Fauntleroy suit who carried the ring on a white satin pillow, his blue eyes wide and grave and his cheeks scarlet with embarrassment. Lois, more contained, walked up the aisle beside him with her tiny trim nose a fraction in the air.
That was the way they met. And if they'd known then that they weren't to meet again for years it wouldn't have given either of them the slightest twinge of regret.
Reed's father was a wealthy coal operator in Pittsburgh. There were several boys in the family before Reed came along in 1903 and all of them grew up together in a very comfortable and cultural lap of luxury.
After his entrance at Pennsylvania Military College, Reed dropped everything else in favor of football. He made the varsity team at Cornell, got a fractured shoulder that prevented~him from ever playing again, so he turned his interest toward music.
It was on a spring afternoon during Easter dances that he met Lois Smith again. Neither of them recognized the other. To Reed, Lois was just that gorgeous brunette from the Castle School who had come up for the prom on the bid of one of his fraternity brothers. Tall and willowy, black eyes as wide as black-eyed susans, a swell girl and a swell dancer. They talked together several times before something the gorgeous brunette said made Reed suddenly realize where he'd met her long before.
It was a pleasant shock, far too pleasant to be trivial about when the lady involved was practically knocking the Cornell men for kingpins with her loveliness. All the fellows had been trying to date her up— with no success — and that included Kennedy. So he thought of a plan that simply had to work.
THE next morning a messenger deliv■ ered to Lois a long heavy sheaf of roses, five impressive dozens of them imported by special delivery overnight from New York. The card said, "Remember?"— and Lois did.
All the next year, which was his last at Cornell, he courted her in competition with one of his closest fraternity brothers.
At last graduation time rolled around. Lois drove up with Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy. And one night she and Reed slipped away from the carnival of lights and music at the dance to a lonely spot far down the gravel path that so many lovers have walked so many Junes. A sliced gold moon swung in a white explosion of stars and the sky was deep blue and clear. Reed Kennedy had found the flawless time and place to ask the girl on his arm to be his wife.
For her answer she made a kiss of her mouth and laid it softly on his lips.
So they were married. After a honeymoon trip to the Riviera they, settled down in the sumptuous home Mr. Kennedy had built for them in the suburbs of Pittsburgh and Reed went to work at his father's coal mines.
As the years went by lots of things happened. Tommy, Bunny, Skippy and Bobby were born, four little boys three years apart. Reed inherited the mining business and did well with it. He made a lot of money, provided his family with the country-club social life of the wealthy set himself up in a highly profitable building supply business— his good fortune seemed to be limitless.
Then gradually, as time wore on, Reed
