MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1936. WITH A A New Novel by Marian Sims SYNOPSIS: Carol Torrance is doing, quite well at teaching high achoot in Ashboro, even though 3 only took the job to get away irom her own home town. She has found @ few congenial people, and curi- ously enough, she has found also a blonde Irish gio’ in her classes, whose determination to get an edu- cation at any cost interests her very much. Mike Hannigan is his name, and Mike already has told the world what he'll do*to anybody who starts anything in one of Carol’s classes. Chapter Nine DENIS FORD EN TYLER said: “I don’t know how good this dance’ll be. It’s ‘what the society editor will call ‘in the nature of a farewell to the col- lege contingent.’ The contingent may overrun the place completely, ‘and considering that I used to run around with some of their mothers ft don’t make me feel any younger.” Carol shrugged. “I’m used to it. Don’t worry about me.” They were to stop by Alice and ‘Tom Harrison’s, he said. Most of the crowd would be there. ..« ‘The Harrison house was brilliant with lights and crowded with guests. ‘Alice put down her glass and rushed at Carol with outstretched arms. “Carol, darling! I’m so glad to see you! I’ve been meaning to call you all week, but little Alice hasn't been well, and I’ve been swamped with...” She kissed Carol, deftly avoiding enumeration of the things she had been swamped with, and Carol kissed her in return. Tom came up and said: “Well, well, well. Welcome to our fair city!” He radiated hospitality, He'd grown fatter too. When she had been greeted by her acquaintances and introduced to the strangers he steered her to- wards the portable bar that stood in the dining-room. “Good Lord; you overwhelm me! (I'll take a small quick one, I think: vye and ice water.” An unattached man drifted in, and was greeted with shouts of wel- come. Carol looked at him in sur- prise. He didn’t look like Ashboro; he looked more like Hollywood. Most ‘of the men wore white linen suits, ‘but the new man wore a linen mess jacket, and he was almost garishly handsome. The sort, she thought, who would have his picture taken with his shirt open at the throat. Tom wanted, he said, to present Denis Ford. She acknowledged the introduction with a casual nod and went: on talking to Ben. Denis Ford's type never cared for her—for some reason she attracted solider men who admired her mind and were afraid of it—so she saw no reason to bother. Ben looked grati- fied, and went on telling her about this trade he'd made, ‘HEY had one more round and then went. They assaulted the club house with noisy gaiety. They were a so- cial unit in themselves, and if the college crowd thought them antique, and the older people thought them fast—why, to hell with ‘em all. They were self-sufficient. Ben was waiting when Carol came out of the dressing-room, tap- ping a foot to the music. His danc. ing was even more unchanged than Ben himself; it went back to the days of the onestep and the hesita- tion. She followed him effortlessly, lost in the joy of dancing—even of dancing with Ben, Someone touched his shoulder. Denis Ford's voice said: “May I break?” and Denis Ford’s arms had carried her off. He danced beautifully, of course. He probably knew ‘all the steps of the tango. She smiled at him vague- ly, and let herself drift. He drew his head away and stared at her curiously. “What are you doing here?” In Ashboro, he meant, intending it for a compliment. She said: “Teaching history and French in the high school. What are you doing here?” He grimaced. “Living on the fam- ily until I can get a job.” And then, in an awed whisper: “History and French. My God!” That made her mad. “So I won't have to live on the family,” she ex- plained sweetly. He should have winced, but he only grinned. “Oh, mine can afford ten: do you excoriate everynoay, or is it just me? After all, I've only been here a week, and it’s my first real trip home in six years.” She was surprised, herself, at the way she had lashed out at him. I must be attracted in spite of myself, she realized, or I wouldn’t be so pas- ty.... She smiled suddenly. “I'm just naturally vicious.” His ewn smile was disconcerting because his eyes were so black and his teeth so. white. “Oh, yeah?” He drew her back to him. “No, sweet; you're just scared. So'm I, I’m in no position to be fall- ing in love.” Tom cut ‘in then, snapping her fury off at its root, She turned her back on Denis and smiled brilliant ly at Tom. “Just like old times, Tom.” She said it, defying herself, because nothing could be less like old times than this. Tom nodded vigorously, “You said it.” ENIS turned quickly away from ! Carol and Tom. He’d look up Alice, and check that off tempo- rarily. He felt sore all over, as if he had played an unaccustomed game of squash, Damn the girl anyway, for not seeing how he felt. If she was as intelligent as she looked she ought to have guessed that his atti. tude about the job was bragga- docio: he had to get the news across before somebody else did. The music expired with a death- rattle. He walked into a couple, + backed away and apologized, and the girl smiled a brilliant invitation. He looked after the girl. She was a kid who lived next door to him; , she couldn’t be more than sixteen or seventeen. An accident, Denis thought indifferently, looking for a Place to happen. Well, let it. Alice’s smile was an older, wiser version of the kid's. She said: “I was wondering where you were, darling. Let’s have a drink.” He agreed, and thought casually what a brainless fool Alice was. Tom’s wholesale business had made money, and she couldn’t take it. Ail Alice knew was what she saw in the movies. They went downstairs to the grill and began making a lot of noise. Tom and Carol Torrance came in, and Denis looked quickly away from them. He'd meant it when he told her he was'scared. She was the sort he could go crazy about: cool as spring water, with a sense of humor and a nasty gift for irony. One eyebrow wasn’t higher than the other for nothing, and her mouth was a little crooked—probably from smiling on the other side of it. They could have a swell time laughing at the show together. He looked back at her, and their eyes caught. He made a wry face at her, but the room and the noise were outside the moment, and they were alone in it. Alice said finally, against his shoulder: “Do I hear music?” “If you want to call it that.” “Finish your drink in a hurry, then, I got rhythm.” He waited half an hour before he broke on Carol again, but he spent the half-hour leaning against a door frame watching her. He liked the way she danced, without giving per body away, ds if she were keeping herself physically as well as spiritu- ally inviolate. Her glance brushed him now and then, but after the first casual smile their eyes were sober and speculative, and he knew his own fear had found its counterpart in her, She guessed, of course, why he wasn’t dancing with her. When a man stands against the wall for half an hour and then cuts in on you, she realized, it’s because he's fighting something he can’t resist, or be- cause the moment’s too big to snatch at. He's playing with it, like a cat with a mouse, before he eats it.... He went deliberately across the floor and touched her partner’s shoulder. With the width of the room between them, and without a spoken word, they had fought it out in the last half-hour. They could even succeed, now, in being casual. “Sort of belle of the ball, aren't you?” She shrugged. “Novelty. Some of them are even pupils, and they can brag about it Monday. I hope to heaven my authority won't suffer.” “I'd put my money—if I had any— it—for a while.” “What sort of job would you pre- fer?” “None. I'm—uh—fitted for news- Paper work. At least that’s what I thought. The last managing ed. didn’t agree with me.” “So you're waiting now to select something from all offers that are smailed in to you?” He held nee off and scowled, “Lis- Scovocccccccecs YOUR DESTINY By ‘LE MA MARS eecccece ene The character and talents of those born between AUGUST 23 TO SEP- TEMBER VIRGO people are very orderly, } methodical, and good magnetic healers.
