JAZZ BAND &% An Exciting, Ultra-Modern Love Story. By Wyatt Rundell, INSTALLMENT XV. UESDAY passed and still no Paul. Ina worked aimlessly I about the apartment all morn- ing, a mixture of emotions within her, forestalling the attempted relief of concentration on any single task. She was alternately defliant and calmly reasoning, yet beneath it all a tiny pin prick of anxiety per- sisted. After lunch she waited until the last moment, then ran, with Sue Train, to catch an inward-bound car. A usually proficient operator, twice during the afterncon she repeated numbers incorrectly, aeiaying long- distance connections. Back in the silent apartment that evening she slumped into a deep chair, pliant young bedy drooping wearily, her bright head bowed on a hand. For a time she sat motion- less, then suddenly straightened and, reaching over, snapped cn the radio. As the tubes warmed up & program feded in on-a final identification, the | deep harmony of th: musical back- ground very familiar. - The voice brought her to the edge of the chair. “_Jistening to Babe Bunton and his orchestra, playing from the Tro- cadero, Kansas City's most delightful Summer dance placs, cver Station WDAF. We'll be back with you to- morrow right at 11 o'ciock. This is Paul Machanello speaking in the ab- sence of Prof. Bunton. Good night.” | A second’s pause, then the listening girl was suddenly electrified. “Ill be home pretty soon, Babe.” | eppended the announcer, briskly. The surf-like noises of the milling crowd | ¢ at the dance palace were almost im- \ mediately cut off and the studio an- | nouncer began his routine. Ina sat | rigidly in the chair, her senses leap- | iny !\;Vhen Paul reached the apartment | e took the stairs two aL a time and | burst through the hall door, grinning | eagerly. Ina fought back an impulse to run to him and remained standing by her chair, unsmiling, her eyes dark | with the turmoil in her breast. Paul | sailed his cap heedlessly across the | room and came quickly toward her, | bis face glowing. “Did you hear me, honey?” he asked excitedly. “Were you listening?” He came close and looked down | into her eyes. His own were dancing. She nodded, seemingly unable to speak, and he regarded her in sur- rise. Suddenly she was in his arms, ight against him, her arms close around his neck. He held her hungrily, his cheek against her hair. “Did—did you miss me, honey?” he @sked, rather shakily. She trembled and clung to him blindly, almost frantically, her face | hidden against his shoulder. | “I didn’t get back till late,” he | rushed on. vanted to call but didn’t have & chance. I've been lost without you, sweetheart; starved to death. Are—are you glad I'm back?” Again she did not answer. Her yellow head barely moved in assent, the stormy clasp of her hands un- relinquishing. “Why, honey,” he said, alarmed. “What's the mat—?" She blocked his question by draw- ing his head down and holding her lips to his. Then she looked up at him, luminous-eyed. “Nothing,” 'she answered, slowly. “I guess—I'm just—foolish. It seemed you'd riever get back——" Suddenly she smiled at him, dazzling because of its unexpectedness. “Darn your old union,” she imprecated, softly. Paul hugged her with zest. “That’s what I say,” he seconded, airily. “Just because I was in a hurry to get home, something like that would have to turn up. I argued with Babe till I was blue in- the face, but do you think he'd listen?"” Ina patted his arm comfortingly, the corners of her mouth, whimsically sympathetic. {‘The old—Simon Le- gree,” she murmured. They looked at each other and laughed. The tenseness of the first few moments were forgotten. “On the train, coming home, I told him—" began Paul. But Ina dis- engaged herself from his grasp ab- ruptly and, catching his hand, pulled him toward the tiny hall that led kitchenward. “Come on, honey,” she proposed, “I'll give you some of my cake. Bud ate almost all of it last night, but I took the last plece away from him and saved it for you.” He followed her. They sat in the 1brenkfasr, nook, & spot becoming his- toric for the midnight lunches for two and the accompanying exchanges of confidence it had witnessed. Paul, between mouthfuls, bragged ram- blingly about his wife’s banking prowess. Ina leaned on the table, | chin in hand, a favorite attitude, |and watched him, a deeper tinge of pink heightening her naturally warm coloring. Her eyes were softly thoughtful. “Tell me about Lake Taneycomo,” she suggested. “Were there crowds | and crowds of pretty girls——?" Paul's laugh was slightly boisterous. “Not that I noticed,” he declared. “But I may have been prejudiced, you see.” “Oh-h—and by what, think?” “That’s easy. Have you met my wife?” Ina leaned eagerly across the table. “Why——?" she asked. “Is she pretty?” Paul captured her hands. Their heads were very close together and do you head, as if awed. “Say—she's the last word! Shall I tell you about her?” “Yes——" whispered the girl. “Well, she’s got the bluest eyes in red and gold and silky, and her mouth is the kind you see on cov- ers—you know—sort of curved and perfect. When she smiles you wonder who turned on the floodlights, and there's a dimple that goes with it that's no more striking than a ma- chine gun bullet. As for proportions, I woald say yes—and how is Mrs. Fisher these days? In short, she's the kind of girl you like to take riding in front of you on a motor cycle—one of the real reasons why blindness 15 such a handica; He paused ‘for breath. Ina, who had been drinking in his words, slipped into the seat beside him. “I—can’t hear you very well, away over there,” she explained soberly. She nestled luxuriously into his arms, and when he kissed her she held him tightly for a long moment. “Paul,” she said after a while, “sometimes I'm afraid. I mean I get a feeling that—that—that it's all too good to last. I know it's absurd—and that I shouldn't say things like that, but———" She broke off doubtfully. Paul felt a wave of uneasiness, re- current with her words. He had for- gotten Jessie—everything. The old feeling of helpless frustration returned like a hand at his throat, but he fought it off, unwilling to betray his misgivings by the slightest sign. “You mustn't believe in black cats, honey,” he adjured her. “Haven't we been getting along fine? Is it some- thing that I've done or haven’t done?” “N—no. You've been wonderful— just like I knew you'd be. Oh, I guess I'm silly or superstitious, but—" “Tell me. “Well—" ' She drew a long breath and glacced up at him momentarily. ‘There was & petition in her eyes, im- pressed upon him even in the brief second that their glances met. “Are you still sure that you'd rather they were?” she asked falteringly. The effort upon her was obvious. The lines in Pai face softened, THE DERWOOD MILL DERWOOD, MD. Subject to market chang the followine low prices o g uality feeds for the week starting uly 20th.

She put her cheek against his, her lips close to his ear. “Darling,” she whispered, “I didn’t mean to cross-examine. But it—isn't an experiment any longer. I mean us, It’s real—for me. I love you, Paulino. Every day you were gone seemed like & year. I wanted you—and wanted you. It's sort of an emotional madness, I guess, but I can’t help it, honey.

I—I thought I could make allowances for you, but—I can't—I can't—" She buried her face in the curve of his shoulder and her last words were almost indistinguishable. The hands that imprisoned his head were hot, imprisoned their message of nervous tension. Paul’s mind had a lethargic moment, but spurred by the male horror of womanly grief, he lifted her head. The shadows in her eyes loos- ened his tongue in a flood of reassur- ances. “Don’t worry, sweetheart,” he en- joined, a ghost of the old, confident ring in his voice. “I'm sure.
