tiful and that makes her jealous too." Friday, August 5th . . . We're going to the Montana ranch for a month's holiday. Last night, cook's night out, Grant took Dick and Fran and me out to dinner and showed us the railroad tickets — yards and yards of them. It was his beautiful surprise. Ben's going too, of course. It wouldn't be Thompsonville without him. I'll see my beautiful mountains again. Wednesday, August 10th We're traveling as if we were royalty. Our accommodations take up almost an entire car, with Ben occupying the drawing-room on the end. He complains, bitterly, about the luxury but it's evident enough that he's proud of Grant and his social position and his wealth. I think Ben's pride would suffer much more than Grant's if all this should be taken away from us. I like the luxury of my room. I adore my little morocco case with my private bed linen. I love the beautiful flowers Grant keeps around me. I enjoy all the things that money buys. But above all this — far above it — there's the joy I know because Grant and my children seem to be growing fond of each other. He seems very proud when he introduces them to his friends. And they call him General Grant. That, of course, implies a great compliment. No wonder I go around with a little prayer of thanksgiving in my heart. Thursday, August 11th . . Grant and I are aboard a privately chartered plane flying back to New York. The children and Ben remained on the train. What awaits us in New York only God knows . . . Little did I think when I made the entry before this that my joy was going to be so short-lived. Oh, we do well to treasure our moments of happiness— to enjoy any security we have while we have it! I've been cold and numb now for hours, ever since Grant came into my drawing-room with that telegram in his hand. It was from Kenneth. It seems a lawyer named Slemp insists my first husband, Richard Williams, is alive. If Richard Williams is alive I'm a bigamist. They can arrest me. Grant and I won't be man and wife any more. And they can take my children from me. Grant, dear that he is, keeps trying to reassure me. He says the whole thing is probably nothing more than a blackmail scheme . . . that some unscrupulous lawyer probably hopes we will turn over a large sum of money rather than face a scandal. Poor, dear Grant . . . Since he married me — and because he married me — he's had enough worry to drive him mad. Later . . . Maybe I should tell Grant that Richard Williams could be alive . . . that the man they found in that wrecked automobile, the man who was buried as Richard Williams, was so badly burned that the only means of identification was a ring. Has Brenda Cummings' first husband really come back from the grave, to destroy all the happiness she believed she has found? And what of the children who slowly have been learning to like their foster father? Follow Brenda's dramatic story on CBS Tuesday evenings and next month in the pages of Radio Mirror — again in intimate diary form.
