THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1936. THE WORLD WITH A FENCE A New Novel by Marian Sims SYNOPSIS: Carol Torrance has left Meredith, Ga., which is her home town, and gone to teach in the Ashboro, Ga., high school. It was a wrench to part from her fam- ily, but not to part from Meredith. Now she has spent one day in Ash- boro, and made one friend: Mary Ellen Sands. Carol believes that a yor of teaching may be possible, ut she does not intend that it shall diterfere with a career in other and bigger centers. The career is pretty vague in Carol's mind, however, Chapter Six ANOTHER DAY (Creates waked next morning to a knock at her door. Someone, Mrs. O’Connor said through the door in a thin, pleased voice, wanted her on the telephone. She slipped on a robe and went to answer the call. “Carol?” “Tee.” “This is Ben Tyler. Why in the devil don’t you let somebody know where you are? I been phoning everywhere.” She gave an instant to remember- ing about Ben Tyler. The town bachelor, short and plump and in- curably romantic—so long as the recipient of his attentions was very new. She was warmly grateful for his interest because it re-established her as a woman instead of a teacher. “Darling, I hadn’t had time.” That LLEN was in the living-room with her hat on, experimenting with the radio. “What church do you go to?” she asked. Carol shrugged. “I was born an Episcopalian. What about you?” “Presbyterian.” “Then we'll go there. It's closest.” The rear half of the church was well filled; the front half empty’ex- cept for a yery old lady with an acousticon. The minister was an earnest young man with a mind as orderly and conventional as his ap- pearance. Aided by his notes he | preached a neat and orderly ser- mon, pouncing at intervals upon his original premise with the vigor of a fat robin on a worm. At the last he tied all the ends of his discourse into a neat and ornamental bow of rhetoric and tossed it to the congre- gation. The sermon was over, and the minister was pronouncing beautiful, | singing words: “And now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ rest and abide upon you all, and upon all God’s people everywhere. . . .” Mr. Hudson was at the door, beaming upon the world. The min- | ister, whose name was Mr. Wil- liams, was beside him, waiting to extend the right hand of fellowship. He was delighted, he said, to wel- come Carol and Ellen into his THE KEY WEST CITIZEN S SPORTS BY JOVE hist Anniversaries @eececcenconcccooccoces 1745—Francis Asbury, Metho-| | dist preacher, pioneer of hi church in America, first Metho- dist bishop here, born in England. ; Died in Virginia, March 31, 1816. | GIANTS WIN AND CUBS LOSE; CARDS IDLE YESTERDAY | Today the C ‘tackle the Admini: |; YANKEES DOWN S=NATORS; | Department.

How are you?” “Never felt better and had less. When'll I see you?” “I dont know. When?” “Well—have you had any break- fast? If not, you've missed it.” Her watch said half past nine. “Oh, Lord, so I have!” “Get your elothes on then, and I'll take you to the Acropolis Cafe. A poor thing, but our own—and only. Ten o'clock?” “Right.” Ben Tyler was almost unchanged in four years. A little more stomach and a little less hair, but otherwise the same. He squeezed her hand and beamed at her. “Younger and better looking than ever.” She scowled. “When a gal gets to the age where you feel impelled to comment on her youthfulness, don't do it. Ben, it’s grand to see you. It was. Ben seemed to bring with him the odor of gay days when she was a Visitin; 1.

Carol ordered breakfast and Ben decided to have another cup of cof- fee. Then she said: “Something tells me that jubilees will be out of my orbit. I’ve got the young manhood and womanhood of America looking to me.” He grinned. “They could show you things, honey. Besides, teaching’s not that bad; all you have to do is use moderation and keep your mouth shut.” That was a relief. “You cheer me up. I've always made a practice of those, even when I didn’t have to.” He dropped her at home a few minutes before eleven. “I love you, and all that, but I won't go to church with you. Wanta play golf this afternoon?” She did, desperately. “Isn't it ver- boten?” “] don’t know. Try it once and see. About two-thirty?” church. He wondered, he said al- most in the same breath, about Sun- day school. There was a class of teen-age girls. ... Carol threw up her hands. “Mr. Williams! We teach those same girls all week long, and we all need a rest from each other. For good- ness’ sake have a heart!” He looked surprised and rather pleased. It was obviously the first time anybody had laughed in his face in church and begged him to have a heart, and he enjoyed the sensation. He became almost arch. “I hadn’t thought of that. Since you put it up to me like that, I'll leave you in peace.” Were they comfortably situated? Mr. Hudson asked solicitously. They said they were, and made an es- cape. FAILING sun made long, thin shadows on the eighteenth fair- way. Carol sat and watched the shadows, and swung her legs in the clear green water of the swimming pool. “This pool is a gift straight from heaven. You didn’t have it four years ago: how'd you acquire it in a de- pression?” Ben was lying on his stomach, ab- sorbing the last rays of the sun. He grimaced. “It was built right after you left, when they still called the late unpleasantness a Temporary Flurry. The only reason we've still got it is because it’s practically im- } possible to repossess a swimming pool. stretched and got up reluctantly. “Much as I hate it, I'll have to go. We eat supper at six o'clock.” “Oh, that’s all right. We'll get a sandwich out here. Sit down and re- | lax and I'll get you a Tom Collins in a little while.” “I'd better tread lightly, and take my dissipation in a more private place, thanks. It’s been heavenly, Ben.” He grunted and got up. “Oh, all right. And while I think of it, there’s a dance Friday night. Go with me?” She nodded. “Of course.” A dance would be something to cling to dur- ing this first crucial week. (Copyright, 1986, by Marian Sims) Carol has, tomorrow, her first bout with Mrs. Tavior.
