Perhaps he will return to the tropics to finish up the engi- neering job he and his father had begun. He has boarded the fast New York troin at a tank stop and is in the private car of Ray West— by accident West ts the father of Uatre West. and Allaire is a ee erry met in the tropics and has not been able to forcet since. Chapter 20 FAST WORK HE scanned him interestedly a a moment, beginning to smile. “Haven't 1 seen you some place before?” “If you have you've been in some queer places,” Terry answered. “That's not the right answer, but you're elected anyway. Come on in.” “Sure,” said the army officer. “Have a drink with us.” “Thanks, no.” There was a study in amazement. “You don’t want a drink—?” “Not today.” said Willett. The girl sat down on a small divan and drew up a pair of silken legs under her. “Then what do you want, Lance iot?” “Just a ride to New York,” said Terry. “Who owns this work of art?” “Ray West,’ said the girl. “We've been over at a house party and we're booking a ride back with him too. He's in bis, stateroom recovering from a gad afternoon.” She gave bim a long slanting slance, Her eyes seemed violet in quality. “My name's Carolyn Har- fingtony “'*Is if?” sald Willett. fer old man’s a Senator,” con- tributed the officer. “He won't be for long,” said the girl nonchalantly. “They are after bis scalp.” She put a cigaret in her mouth and leaned forward for a light, a subdued scent of jastnin mingled with rye whiskey brushing his nose as he bent.to comply. She patted a place on the divan and he dropped down beside her. Willett was offered a drink again. Again he refused. Tuo easy to drink ou this day when he'd left bis father behind for good. The trek up from the Palva hadn't been long enough to make him forget his feeling of Dumbuess and a sense of onus. The army officer was talking ami- ably. His name was Denbigh and he informed Terry that he had joined the Army because Puff had told him she could love a mao in a uniform and then after he got stuck with the Army, he found she meant a gen eral’s uniform. He was on leave from Fort Mye?, and what good was the cavalry with out sabers? That was Congress again. Congress ~vas ruining the Army, but he'd die for his country just the same. He was very emphatic on that point. He repeated it half a dozen times, THe other man was Steve Perry, very good-looking, with black hair and eyes. He had big shoulders and a sunburned face and was in- troduced as the objective fort of many a fond mamma's strategy. Puff said he played polo so well that a strong suspicion prevailed he could probably do nothing else. Steve reminded her that he was a vice-president of a big bank. Puff asked him if he knew where | the bank was, and Steve said he wasn't sure, but his father was president, so what the hell difference | did it make? As for the girl, there was some- thing very intriguing about her. Her mouth was scarlet with too much lipstick, but there was some thing leisurely, and careless, and Softly challenging in the way she 8 d Jofiged insouciantly on ie 0! ita great deal, looked at him often, and seemed perfectly agreeable to Denbigh and Perry’s doing their drinking out on the ob servation platform. “You don’t say much,” she com- mented, “but 1 like your style— sind of—” “Thanks,” said Willett. “I can see where you have a lot to learn.” She watched ,him, one hand Poised on hip, the other slowly ca- ressing her throat. “Have you, 1 wonder, anything to teach me?” “Who knows? Bui I'm not going te try.” “You discourage me terribly,” she sighed. “You really do—" Somehow she seemed slightly closer to him suddenly. Once again be was conscious of the scent of her hair. He knew she wouldn't mind a bit if he kissed her. She worked fast, Puff Harrington. Maybe that came from riding on fast trains. “But,” she went on, “I like you just the same. You're brown and tall and —please smile—more often—Lance- lot.” Willett grinned. If Bucky Corri- gan were here!—Bucky worked at a speed approximating airplane velocity. “One of these days,” he com- mented, “you're going to wake up married.” “Well,” she said, considering, “that would be a break for Honor. Loosen up, Lancelot. How about yourself?” “Nothing much,” he returned. “The name is Willett, Terry Willett. (ve just come from South America and one of these days I'm going back.” “Ob!” Her red mouth formed the word. “How interesting. 1 knew you'd been places. The dickens!” she said suddenly, sitting back. “Here comes Ray. He would recover now.” Ray West made his initial appear- ance, coming from a private com- partment at the other end of the car. He wore a sports camel's hair and a wuite silk muffier about bis throat. His gait was a little uncertain past the effects of the train's motion, and he had the servant mix him a pickup im.nediately. “Say hello to Terry Willett,”"Puft requested. “He dropped into our lives at Carteret.” Ray shook hands. “Haven't seen you before, have 1?” he said. “Are you one of Allaire’s friencs?” Willett sat up. Something clicked in his mind. He remembered Fox's introduction to a lovely girl in the Legation Club gardens— “Whose?” “That's his daughter,” Puff ex- plained. “But don’t get him started on the subject. He’s peeved.” “Well, why wouldn't 1 be?” de- manded Ray, with the argumenta- tiveness that is rooted in strong waters. “She won't doa thing | want her to. I'm her father and | can’t do anything with her. Nobody can.” UFF was vastly bored. She called in Denbigh and Perry and re sumed the crap game. Willett re jected an invitation to participate. He sat down next to Ray West. Ray seemed favorably impressed with him. “Awfully glad to meet you,” he said. “You look like a nice young fellow. Did you say you knew Al- laire?” “I'm not sure whether | do or not,” said Terry. “Was she in South Amer- ica recently?” “Yes,” said Ray. “So was 1. Polo trip. Puf sat back from the game for a minute. “They're talking about Allaire, Steve,” she said to the broad-shoul- dered man. “You'd better retire to the platform.” “Why should 1?” said Steve. He rolled the dice in his hand and looked moody. “Don't mind me. She was nice enougl about the whole thing even though 1 felt like seven kinds of a fool. Oh, the hell with it, Ray. Allaire has always done just as om damned pleased and she always will.” He bent over and rolled the cubes. “She's too snooty,” said Ray. “That’s her trouble. She has some queer ideas. I told her so this morn- ing.” rhis morning!” said Willett. Vhere is she now? “I don't know,” said Ray. “Wash- | ington, maybe, with Nell. New York, maybe. Havana, maybe. I don’t know where she is half the time or what she does.” He fizzed something into his glass. | He was just getting warmed up. “You'd think her own father would know where she was once in a while,” he complained. “Well, I don’t unless she chooses to let me know. And she’s had a lot of chances to marry nice men and settle down. 1 don’t know what the devil she’s waiting for—John the Baptist, may+ be, to come down on a snow-white’ oz" That's Jupiter, Ray darling,” oe interrupted lazily to inform im. Perry asked them please to talk | about something else, and then be | Sot up and went out on the platform. “Poor Steve,” said Puff. “He's had | to take it for once in his life instead of dish it out. He’s still bouncing.” “It's a damn shame,” said Ray. “Steve's all right.” The train was coming into Urion Station. Puff war standing up, pull- | ing on a smart little black hat. She turned to face him. “This is where I get off,” she said. “Ever been in Washington? Lovely city. Give me a break, Lancelot, and [ll show you the town.” Washington, maybe. That’s whal her father had said. He stood up. “I think,” he said, “I'll get off here myself.” (Copyright, 1985, by David Garth) Terry Willett is frost-bitten by @ girl, tomorrow, PROOF READING CONTEST Address............

COMMENT ON SERVICE OF HIGHWAY FERRIES; I would greatly appreciate and thank you to allow me a_ little space in your valuable paper, in order that I may comment on the Oversea Ferry service. | I was a passenger on the ferry; south bound Sunday, Jan. 5th, was loaded onto the ferry at 8:30 a, m, together with 19 other cars,} and unfortunately there were}! about 20 cars that would have| come over had they been able to obtain passage. At a few minutes past 10 o’clock I approached the captain of the ferry asking him why we were not sailing and what was the delay, as the ferry was loaded, with the exception of two spaces,! and cars were waiting there for a chance at those two spaces. He advised me that he had_ received; instructions from one of the high- er Administration officials who} had passage on the ferry, to hold said ferry for his arrival, that he; was up in South Miami with a/ broken axle, was going to have same fixed and would then come| on down. At 10:30 they stopped the engines which had been run- ning all of this time. I and a number of other passengers ap- proached the captain protesting; against the delay, as it was very; apparent that the tide was going out, and from appearances would be very low which may have caused the ferry to stick in the cut and thus delay us another three to six hours. He stated that he just had to wait as it was or- ders from one of the officials, but that if he did not show up by 11:00 o’clock he would leave. We left at a few minutes after 11:00 o’clock and when we arrived at) the shallow part of that cut the ferry almost knocked her bottom out getting over the shoals and 1 am sure received considerable damage from same. This was not altogether fair to the rest of the passengers on that! ferry to delay thém one full hour, and then cause the ferry to be! jeopardized and possibly damaged! to satisfy the whim of one who is! in power, How much nicer it would have! been for that official to have sent/ that captain word not to wait on him but sail on time with his pas-| sengers and cars, This official/ knew that he was in a position to| charter a plane or speed boat or) any other means of transporta- tion, as when he did arrive at sel ferry slip he crossed the gap in a speed boat passing us later in the; day, and unless this boat is a part | of the administration I am sure that she had to be paid for. Just a few more trips like the one south Sunday and you will not have to wonder why there are no tourists in town. We who live here and travel back and forth will have to submit to it but they do not. And all to satisfy the whim of an official with authority enough to stop the ferry. There was no blame placed up- on the captain in this case, as everyone who is familiar with the conditions here fully appreciated his situation. There he was, with orders from an official to hold the ferry for his arrival, the tide was leaving the channel fast, and his passengers that were on board were raising a fuss to be on their way. What a mess, Again thanking you, I am. A CITIZEN OF KEY WEST. - Key West, Fila., Jan, 6, 1936, Subscribe to The Citizen. LEGALS IN THE COURT OF THE COUNTY JUDGE, MONROE COUNTY, STATE OF FLORIDA.
