SUMMER RESORT: THE DAILY ALASKA' EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JUNE :24 1930 WERE BROKE WE| s “ BgeMayaise SYNOPSIS: The break-up of ene romance leads to another for Mary Lou Leslie, when' she comes to London for a visit. She is cast aside by Brynmor Whittamore as “too nice,” and he becomes engaged to Clarice Day, a night club dancer. Mary Lou then attends a round of partics with Tony Titherington, a young aviator. Tony's ambi- tion is to fly around the world, and he seeks financial backing from a wealthy aunt. She segns particularly interested in girls with whom Tony goes, and “show girls” find no favor with her. Tony decides to take | Mary Lou for her inspection in the hope that she will approve of her. Aunt Ethelberta, an ec- centric spinster, is curt with Mary Lou at first, but takes a liking to her when she finds that Mary Lou is “sensible” and knows a few things about gar- dening, Chapter 14 A DILEMMA FOR TONY In the dining room, delightful with its old fireplace and antique| furniture, Mary Lou met the other two members of Miss Titherington’s household. Mrs. Fawsett, the elderly widow of an Indian army colonel, lived with her as a companion. She and Miss Titherington once had been schoolmates. The other inmate of “Ham Green Cottage” was a Miss Pitts, a maid of all work. She was a bpxom country girl. The informal atmosphere soon made Mary Lou feel quite at home much to her surprise. Her ner- vousness disappeared as Miss Pitts served lunch. “I suppose you and-Tony see & great deal of each othet in town,’ Miss Titherington said, as the first course was being cleared away. “Oh, yes, Mary Lou and I are great pals,” Tony answered for her, “playtime pals. Dancing together. parties togéther, you know.” Was it Mary Lou’s imagination, or had he deliberately stressed the words “playtime pals?” Miss Tith- erington appeared to notice it, too. “I hear this season is fairly jolly in town.” “It is,” said Tony. “Not half as jolly, I'm sure, as the seasons used to be in India be- fore the war,” Mrs. Fawsett began. Miss Titherington looked de- pressed. “You must bring- Mary Lou down for a week-end,” she interrupted, addressing Tony. “Great,” he said. “I'll do it.” “Have you taken Mary Lou up yet?” “Not yet,” said Tony. “I'm go- ing to ask her to go up with me some day next week.” Mary Lou's eyes shone excitedly. “Oh, T'd love to go up. Will you! really take me, Tony?" “Sure,” Tony told her. “Well, you can have your flights,” sald Miss ‘Titherington, “Nothing would induce me to go up in one of those abominable contraptions.” She reached for a little Swiss cow-bell and rang it sharply. ! “You can clear away,” she said to! ‘Miss Pitts. Then to Mary Lou: “Come. along with me.: I'll take you around and show. you. the gar- den.” Miss - Titherington - talked = volu- bly on gardening matters and seem-| ed pleased with Mary Lou’s intelli- gent comments. Some time later, as they stood in one of the hot houses inspecting some tomatoes, Tohy's aunt remarked suddenly: “Tell me, child, are you playing about with my nephew or are you seriously fond of him?” Mary Lou wished Miss Tithering- ton wouldn't insist on asking such cmbarrassing questions. her ‘idea, anyway? ) ! wW—why, I—I'm fond of Tony, surely,” she stammered. Miss Titherington nodded. «That’'s what I wanted to know. T've always been fond of him my- self, yet I can’t understand any COMES-TO-TOWN 4 |Bhe raise da hand when IRJ sible. There was an opportunity when Mrs. Fawsett lured Mary Lou upstairs to see a collection of Ine| dian brass ornaments. “Look here, Aunt Ethelberta,” he began. “I'm dead keen to start preparations for that flight around the world. ~Remember, I told you about it some time ago?” “I remember.” Miss Tithering- on’s mouth shut like a trap. Tony coughed nervously. “And—er—I—I'd be most awfully grateful if you would help me out L6 “Help you out? What can I do? I'm no mechanic. What are you driving at?” “It—It's about the: expensé;” he began again, this time more dif- fidently. “Well, why on earth!didn’t you say so in the first'place?’ snapped Miss Titherington. Tony swallowed twice in an ef- fort to get control of himself. “I was only trying tobe tactful, you see.” “Tut, tut. I have no time for tact on this proposition. I've been thinking this matter over for some time, for I knew you'd be after me again soon. Here's your -answer: the money for this crazy flight of yours will be deposited in your name at the bank on the day your >ngagement is definitely announced —and not before.” Tony could only stare at her. He never had expected any such stipu- lation as this. Had his aunt gone completely out of her mind? What had his engagement to do with the flight, anyway? “My engagement!” he said weak- ly. “But you know that I've nhever thought of getting engaged!” “well, if you haven't thought of it, I've done it for you. I say again, that from the day your engagement is announced you can rely on me to back this absurd flight of yours. That's settled. Do you ‘under- stand?” His clgaret was burning Tony's fingers, but he didn’t notice it. “My engagement to whom?” he asked. His aunt gave him a contemptu- ous look. “To. this new girl, Mary Lou, of course. She's’ a nice girl, sensible and unspoiled. You're lucky to get her. She'll make you a capital wife.! ‘Tony started to speak. “No, I won't hear a word of pro= test. You've played around tod long. Tt's high time you settled anything in the morld—more than a hundred Mary Lous. Tony knew that Mary Lou would understand how eager he was to| make the flight after planning on it for so long. If only she would consent to become engaged to him | temporarily—say until the flight| was completed—everything would be | fine. ! That would fulfill his aunt’s in-| sane stipulation, and.surely there could be no harm in it, so long as Mary Lou understood perfectly that| he was not serious. Of course, there was Mary Lou herself to be considered, but he |didn't’ see where she should objcc;,{fiubert Skinner of the Alaska Pa- She would have all the fun of an engagement without the dread of matrimony. Besides, she was young, and probably she didn't want to get married for years, anyway. All she seemed to want now was a good time. Tony glanced over at Mary Lou, who was curled up like a contented kitten beside him in the seat. He had to admit she looked pretty there in the twilight. But, hell—that wasn't solving his problem. How was he to approach 'this business of arranging an ‘en- Igagement that wouldn't be an en- gagement at all—except for outward appearances? The more he thought about it, the more Tony became convinced | that there was only one way to handle the situation. At best it would be a delicate matter, but it had to be settled sometime, Why not put it up to Mary Lou herself?
