TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1! NEVER MIND THE LADY 936, 7 NEVER MIND THE LADY ~ NEVER MIND THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY wor SYNOPSIS: Allaire West sud- denly has deserted the gay life her parents lead, and George Foz, who wants very’ much to be Allaire’s fiancé, and hasn’t made the grade. ‘Allaire just has landed in South America. has located Terry Wil- lett in a rather dingy hotel, and is giving that astonished and puzzled young engineer something to think about. Allaire has finally admitted to herself that she loves Willett ; Bucky Corrigan. Willett’s partner, could willingly substitute for Terry. Chapter 38 DISAGREEMENT “gue 4 like it, but what are you doing down here?” Willett an- swered. “Fox with you or some- thing?” “No,” Allaire said, forcing a smile. “George isn’t here.” “You didn’t come down alone?” “All alone, Terry.” “1 don’t get it. What made you pick this jumping-off place for a sight-seeing trip?” “It isn’t a sightseeing trip.” Her voice was low. “Il came down be cause I—1 wanted to be with you, and I was afraid you might not come back for a long time, if ever, and, Terry, life didn’t seem to mean a thing without you—” There it was, a girl snowing ber heart. That same girl whom Geatge Fox aad once seen gently probe the splintered leg of a beautiful quiger- ing thoroughbred and sighias $ a loved chila were dying. A.girk put ting all her chips on the turn @ a by David Garth “Terry, look at me.” He swung around lowly. Her eyez swept eagerly over his face. It was set like stone, even though his hands clenched behind his back. She knew the answer to her question was there, that it was useless to ask, yet she had to anyhow. “Don’t you love me, Terry?” she said quietly. “Have I ever done anything to make you think I did? Allaire, you don’t love me—” “Stop telling me what I do or don’t,” she said spiritedly. “Answer e. “I try to keep my path clear of women,” said Terry tensely. “They —get in the way. They should stay out of a man’s way—when he has work to do.” She stared at him, white to the lips. And because he didn’t know how long he could stand there look- | ing at her without going soft as a sponge, he turned back to the win- dow. Her lips trembled. He was hard, and somewhere along the course of his battling life he’d lost the capact- ty to love. Or, anyhow, he didn’t love her. And she could crawl back to the States defeated and ashamed and lost, the spirited youthful Odyssey ended. It was pride that came to her aid then, a flash of pride that wouldn't let him see how hurt she was. She turned impulsively and left the room quickly and silently, a step ahead of hot angry tears. He didn’t want her. He didn’t love her. And he was going on without her. wheel. THE KEY WEST.

And she’d followed him down here? This girl of private cars, and stone mansions, and silver evening gowns; this girl in a town like Pro pivucire. It was impossible. She didn’t know what she was getting into. Even as he recognized those qual- ities of initiative and action, some- thing varned him—something whis- perec—something sat on his shoul- der and yelled it his ear --stay hard, the sofi stumble. Stay hard, no good can come of this to either. “Dou you mean to tell me—?” He stopped. Why talk about it? But the girl wasn’t afraid. “That I'm in love with you, Terry. I've always been, I guess, but I— well, + hau so much to learn.” “You're not in love with me,” said Willett. “Yorry!” “You're in love with George Fox,” repeated. It was almost an order. You've had a row, maybe.” “Terry, | haven't had a row with anybody but myself. | haven't come to you on the rebound. I came be- cause I knew you wouldn't come to me and we shouldn’t be kept apart. And nothing will -if you love me—” Obviously, he was expected to an- swer. There was a sudden uncertain, apprehensive note in her voice. Did that hard brown figure love her, that fighter and builder and descendant of the Cavaliers? Oh, why didn’t he say so? Willett turned suddenly and went over to the window. There were little beads of sweat upon his brow. He could see the streets of Pro- pionoire, smell the stale seafoam and coffee beans. There was a man sitting on the curb across the street. He was a cripple and a beggar and there were lots like him in this town.

He took a long deep breath and tried to make his voice steady. Stay hard, you fool, or you'll both stumble. Stay hard; you have a job to do and nothing on heaven or earth is going to stop you. “You've got to go back, Allaire.

He was striding across to her from the bar. She wished he'd go away, but Cor- rigan wasn’t wired fo. mental telep- athy. “Where are you bound?” he in- quired. “If you're bent on wasting an evening, | know all the best ways to waste ’em.” “Thanks, Mr. Corrigan, but really I'd like to be alone.” Corrigan was scrutinizing her thoughtfully. “Say,” he said abruptly, “you're not that polo babe Terry met in the capital?” “Polo babe”—heavens, away that seemed. “I probably am,” she said with a slight smile. Corrigan looked at her with awe, “I've often wondered what you were like. Only I'd imagined you with wings. Let’s have a beer.” She didn’t want a beer, but this husky, enthusiastic specimen with the jaw like the front of a locomotive seemed to know her. She looked at him curiously. “What gave you that idea?” “Wasn't I in jail the same time Terry was? Didn’t I see him stall off the police until you’d left town? Say, there aren’t many women Willett would have done that for. In fact, I would have bet my shirt there weren’t any.” “Mr. Corrigan—” she said breath- lessly hat do you mean?” “Mean?” said Corrigan. “Why, aren't you the girl who took a pot shot at a Spig on the docks one night? Ob, don’t look startled—I’ve seen a lot of Spigs popped off. There ought to be a bounty.” “Why shouldn't I be startled? He was in jail—?” “Listen,” said Corrigan, “do you ean to say you didn’t know it?” how far Vr it?” She suddenly felt as though the earth was shaking gent- Wy She sat down witL widening eyes. = “Please,” she begged, “tell me all about it, Mr. Corrigan, Oh, it’s so important. I didn’t know, 1 did't mee ~ So you never knew he walked into a pinch for you?” Corrigan rubbed his jaw. “Well, if he didn’t tell you, why should 1?” “Because it’s my right to know,” she said fiercely. “Come on, Corri- gan, spill it.” Come on, Corrigan spill it. Bucky grinned suddenly. She wasn’t fool- ing around; she wanted to know something. “Sure, it’s your right,” he agreed. “You wondered why 1 thought you had wings? Because that man ditched his father and his job to go to jail for keeping his mouth shut. With every hour worth its weight in gold, he stalled along until you left and then he took twenty lashes to square his sentence so he could get out and get moving again.” Take a room here for the night and tomorrow I'll put you on the north- bound steamer. This is no place for you.” (Copyright, 1935. by David Garth), Terry and Bucky collide in mids air, tomorrow, TO SUBSCRIBERS If you do net recelve your Paper by 6:15 o'clock in the afternoon, call telephone 51 and @ paper will be sent to your home.
