BY1AzZ BAND &% An Exciting, Ultra-Modern Love Story. By Wyatt Rundell. INSTALLMENT XXVI UE TRAIN, stopping in at the apartment on her way down- stairs the following morning, S found a tragic pair at break- fast in the tiny kitchen. Ray sat dis- consolately in his built-up perch in the booth, his light hair turbulent, | his untouched cereal in the bowl be- fore him. Great tears rolled down each side of his nose and dropped unnoticed into the dish, mingling With the cream that surrounded the brown flaky islands. Paul sat, chin in hand, his eyes harassed at the grief opposite him, but a firm line at the corners of his mouth. Sue, after a startled, questioning glencs al Paul, dropped into the seat (beside the boy. She slid a camforting arm around him, touched by the blurred, appealing eyes that he turned upon her. “Ray!” she exclaimed. “Whatever is the matter?” ' She rescued the del- uged cereal. Her eyes swept Paul first, then the tiny figure beside her. Paul remained mute, carefully exam- ining a cigarette that he brought from & pocket. ‘The boy burst into a frantic ex- posure of his wrongs. “The ba-band is going to D-Dallas next——next Friday,” he gulped. “An’—an’ Paul s-says I can’t go! I hafta stay here—with you” His voice rose hysterically. “I wanna 80——!" he wailed. “The guys are all goin’l I got t’ go! You telf him, Sue! You tell him——I gofta go!” Paul, apparently hardened by sev- eral like exhibitions during the morn- ing, remaved the cigarette from his mouth and offered calm explanation. “It'll be a hard trip,” he declared. “A week in a.strange town, workin’ late every might——playin’ two or three times during the day—I won't have much time to look after him. Then, the outfit'l throw parties in their rooms anc. run in on you an' nobody’ll get any sleep. You know how it is, Sue, a lot drinkin’ and raisin’ Cain. I think he'd be better off here. You'll keep him, won't you?” He evaded the real point, but Sue understood, after a fashion. “T'll be glad to keep him, Paul” she agreed, gently. “But, he’s so dis- appointed——" She patted the small, convulsed shoulders, Her brain worked rapidly and she repulsed a statement that had arisen to her lips. The habit of avoiding the subject of Ina, long taboo, restrained even her woman's impulse to get at the root of things. She bent over the child consolingly. “Don’t cry, Ray,” she admonished. “We'll have a lot of fun—you and I Just think, Il be off every evening next week and we’ll go to shows and ball gameés and take aeroplane rides! Won't that be swell?” Ray realized that his hoped-for champion had failed him. He refused to accept the substitution. He burst forth in a new torrent of justice- denied distress. He struggled from Sue's grasp; beat upon the table with small, clenched fists; wailed loud and | | an average human being by glancing long. “I'am goin’! I am goin'! I am| goin’! shriek. Sue looked helplessly at Paul. His mouth set firmly and he stubbed out his cigarette in a saucer before him with & hand that was uncompromis- ing. “Cut it out, Ray,” he ordered. “Or it's the dark closet for you. D' you hear?” They waited, Sue palpitatingly, Paul grimly. There was no decrease in the volume of the stricken cries. The dark closet held no unseen terrors comparable to this visible one. Then Sue gasped as Paul picked his loudly rebellious son up-bodily, strode into the short hall and deposited him in His emphasis mounted to a THE EVENING intervening panel dmmyod their ec Paul turned to Sue, who had hastily followed the march of stern discipline. He had a somewhat abashed air, now. “He'll be all right, directly,” he promised. “And he won't give you any trouble, Sue.” Sue listened attentively at the door. She was pale, nervous. “Paul Ma- chanello!” she gasped. “You're a—a— tyrant! Suppose there'd be a big rat in there.” Paul . "“In that cue," he declared, ‘“the rat will have to look out for itself. I got plenty t'do, with- out lookin' after any rat.” * ok K X Came Friday, Paul bag in hand, stood at the door of the Trains’ apart- ment. His eyes were expressionless as he regarded a small figure, in white duck with nautical emblems, that stood just inside the threshold, framed against the black silk background of Sue’s frock. The boy's lips quivered 'slightly, but he forced a grin and his brown eyes gleamed with a hint of the old irrepressibility. “So long, Trouper,” said Paul. a good boy.” “So long,” replied the boy. “Keep ¥'r nose clean, Paul.” At the corner, the departing one stopped and gazed down Prospect for in-bound trolley transportation in the offing. Unrewarded, he dropped the traveling bag and produced a cigar- ette. He next proved himself to be “Be at his watch and, this over, leaned idly against a convenient mail box and contemplated passing traffic with a somewhat bored air. Orthodox form in waiting for a street car, surely. But—no! He suddenly stood upright and snapped his cigarette into the gutter—one does not do this until said car has appeared in the middle foreground, and there was still none in sight. He stood stiffiy beside the mail box and for a moment ap- pum to glare flercely at an offend- ing placard attached thereto, which had to do with “Hours of Collection™ and other postal data. The watch was again extricated from his pocket and its dial hastily checked. He picked up the traveling bag, swung Take Your Vacation Trips On New KELLY-Springfield STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Par- sons, Tulsa, Okmulgee, Dallas, etc.” Around the glistening footwear of the waiting travelers was piled their hand beggage in various grades of artifi- cial alligator hide, generously plastered with steamship and hotel labels, color- fully impressive but of doubtful au- thenticity. Small talk and »iue smoke filled the air; there was much banter and laughter. Some bought the Ilatest magazines, vividly inllustrated ones preferred, with & vicw to literary pur- suits once the traon. had been gained. Suddenly a sho-t, thick-set youth in the center of the noisy assemblage, drew attention by ccavulsive motions toward the stream of humanity that flowed along the ioiddle aisle of the vast room, “Get a load 3’ that, you guys,” he directed. “Here comes old Hard- hearted Horace, the stern parent. No kid taggin’ him on this trip— not much!” They gazed in the direction indi- cated. They stared. It was the ap- proach of ‘Paul Machanello, the sil- ver-voiced banjo strummer, and—be- hind him—a swmnall figure, in white duck with nautical cmblems! * ok kX Dallas and the rcof of & popular murmur of a crowd's conversa- tion, mingled -with the tinkle of ice against crystal and the penetrating but unobtrusive clatter of table serv- ice in the hands of deftly stepping attendants. In their leafy g:ofto, at one side of the inclosure, sat the men of Bunton, their while suits strikingly relieved by touches of black at neck- tie and sport :hce, a unmiformity pleasing to ‘he eye. Although, at the moment, they were silent, groups of dancers lingered in front of the pit, held by the peculiar fascination of watching, at clase range, the clock- work precision, the sudden earnestness of an orchestra’ whose time has come “to go on the air.” When the world listens, one’s best hecomes only his duty—a missed cue, an error in count- ing, an imperfection in tone—may slay the goose of the 18-karat eggs. And 50, all leniency van‘'shes and the most sympathetic director becomes an exacting task master. Bunton swept the tense faces before him with a last critical glance. He repeated the numoers of the open- ing group of dance tuves, and with a curt gesture turned his trumpet men & little more wward the microphone stand.

Paul, in the front row, was tense, robot-like. The arrsngements were his own—no need to match his score.

Soon he must rise and sing into it, and he turned over He sang and it was well done. Bunton commended Lim with a brief glance, and a nod.
