WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 238, 1986. SYNOPSIS: Dark, hanasome Philip Page returns to his boy- hood home and buys the War- renton Courier, backing the workmen of th~ Morris mill in their fight for better living con- ditions. He uietly admires at- tractive Sally Warren, the soci- ety editor. Her engagement to Terry p boyish blond aviator, Ewher he admits he has t@ love pretty, wil- younger sister.

So long.” “He's a peach,” said Tip soberly, as they went into the house. “I'll never laugh at him for being too fat again.” Mr. and Mrs. Warren were in the dining room. Tip ran to her mother and hugged her close without speak- ing. None of them spoke until Mr. Warren said gravely, “Now, Tip, sit down and tell us where you were last night. You've caused ali of us a great deal of anxiety, your mother espe- cially. 1 hope you can justify your actions.” “Yes, sir,” said Tip meekly. They all sat down solemnly around the bare table, as if Mr. Warren were holding court and they were the jury. Tip drew little circles on the table with her finger as si.e talked. “1 went riding with Duke Adams last night. I—1 know you forebade me to go out with him again, but, well— 1 did. 1 guess it must have been eight o’clock last night when | called him up.” “You called him up?” cried her mother. “How could you, Tip!” “I—1 felt 1 couldn’t bear to stay in the house another minute longer,” said Tip, without looking at Sally. “1 tried to get Joe Morris, but he was out. Then | thought of Duke. 1 was crazy to get out of town—get a job somewhere. 1 thought Duke might help me. He’s not a bad boy, honest he’s not. He hasn’t had much of a chance—” - Sally interrupted. “You may as well know that Duke Adams had a crash in his plane last night. He'll get over it, but he'll probably not fly again.” Tip grew very pale, and her lips trembled. “He tried to get me to go up with him last night.” “But you didn’t,” said Sally. “Go on.” “When 1 called Duke, he didn’t want to come and get me. He—he said he’d promised father not to see me again. But I begged him, and fi- nally he said he'd meet me at the drug store.” “So this disgraceful escapade was entirely your own doing,” said Mr. Warren sternly. “Yes—yes, it was.” Tip went on shurriedly. “Duke took me a way I'd jnever been before, through Milltown. ‘He said it was one way of getting to the airport. When we got out into the country he—he tried to kiss me. 1 was sorry enough I'd called him by that time. I—1 knew he’d had some- thing to drink. 1 asked him to take me home, but he wouldn't. Then he turned into a little bumpy road, that I knew didn’t go to the airport.” “He'll pay for this,” said Ray furi- ously. “When he gets out of the hos- pital I'll put him back in again.” “Quiet!” Mr. Warren was angrier than Sally had ever seen him. “Your sister was more at fault than the Adams boy!” “Yes,” said Tip. “It was all my fault. 1 had better luck than 1 de- served. The engine of the car went dead. Maybe we were out of gas. Anyway, Duke got out and raised the hood. While he was looking at the engine, I sneaked out of the car and ran down the road the way we had come. Afterwards | heard him calling me, but when he turned the car and came by, | hid in the bushes.” “You've got more nerve than | gave you credit for,” said Ray grudg- ingly. “Such a thing never happened to anyone in this family before,” said Mr. Warren. “The whole thing sounds like—like a cheap novel.” “That’s me,” said Tip. “Everything that happens to me is like that.” “Go on,” said Ray. ‘I Wish I Was Dead’ ‘HAT’S all—except that I walked and ran till £ thought I'd die of— of things in the dark, trying to jump out at me. 1 sat down and cried. Then Td get up and walk some more. { didn’t see a soul the whole way. It must have been awfully late when I got to Milltown, only | didn’t know it was Milltown. 1 saw Mrs. McDon- ald’s light. She was up late sewing, and 1 guess she thought 1 was a tramp at first. She made me some coffee and told me to lie down on her little girl’s bed. I wouldn't tell ner who I was ’because | was afraid she’d tell about me and you'd all be dis- graced. I meant to wake up and walk the rest of the way home, but, well—/ you know! the rest. I slept till this; morning.” “I never in all my life heard such a tale,” said Mrs. Warren weakly. trembled. “I’m a little fool. 1 ought to have a nursemaid. I deserve any- thing you say or do to me.” “You do,” said her father sternly. Suddenly Tip raised her head and broke into a wild speech that startled them even more than the story she | had just told—startled all but Sally, who knew what lay behind the out- burst. “You sit and stare at mel” cried Tip, “all of you!.Thinking you're so wise. You’re not so wise. If you were you'd know why | went with Duke. 1 wish I'd gone up with him last night —and erashed—and died. 1 wish J was dead!” Tip put her head down on the table and wept, hopelessly. Mrs. Warren stroked her hair and tried to silence her. The others looked on uncom- fortably. Mr. Warren got up. “I'm going to the office.” he said. “1 have an appointment. You will go to your room, Theresa, and I will talle to you after lunch.” Sally followed him out. She longed to tell him that he need not worry | much longer about Tip. She would soon belong to Terry. Terry’s love would make him know how to take care of Tip. But the news was not Sally’s to tell. When Mr. Warren had gone, Terry came around from the side porch, where he had been waiting. “Terry! I'd forgotten about you!” It | C. was true. In the excitement she had not given Terry’s anxiety for Tip a single thought. “l came just after you went for her,” said Terry, turning his hat awk- wardly in his hands. “1 knew nobody would want me horning in. but | had to wait around. J had to see her.” “Go down there tc the hammock,” | said Sally. “I’ll send her to you.” “Will you?” Terry’s face lighted up. “You're pretty swell, Sally. 1 guess | couldn’t hope to have a better friend than you've been.” “It's all right.” Sally went into the house. If she could not have his love she could not bear his friendship— not just now. Sally Plays Her Part HE managed to get Tip away from her mother and send her out into the garden. Afterwards she went up= stairs, brushed her hair, and pow- dered her nose mechanically. She was the same work-a-day, sensible girl who held down a desk at the Courier. And yet, she was not the same. : The Sally of yesterday, of these last few months, had carried about a dream of adventure and romance in her heart. She had kept it buried deep. She had gone about the duties that were necessary. But she had known that she had, folded close to her. a pair of wings, waiting to be tried. Terry’s love had given them to her— now Terry’s love had taken them away. While she dreamed, Terry's love had gone elsewhere, and taken ! with it Sally’s wings. Sally took up her hat and purse and went downstairs. There was one thing more to be done. Tip must be faced. Tip must be made to believe that Sally had given Terry up be- cause she wanted to—not because she must. Sally had expected to find Tip in Terry’s arms, but she had reck- oned without the pain that the sight of them caused in her own heart. Best get everything over quickly. “Happy—you two?” she asked lightly. “Oh, Sally. 1 don’t believe it yet.” Tip looked at her incredulously. “How could you love Térry so much last might, and not love him at all today?” Wise Tip! How could she indeed? But that was nothing that Tip or anyone else could help her with. “It’s not so strange,” lied Sally glibly. “When | found out that you loved Terry, 1 was angry. 1 couldn’t believe that you weren't just flirting with him to hurt me. If | hadn’t been so angry with you, perhaps I'd have spent more time deciding whether or not I loved him enough to marry him myself. Last night, when it came to a decision, 1 simply found out ! couldn’t go away with him. That opened my eyes, and 1 saw then that what | had felt for him all along was really—a —a sort of friendship.” “That's it,” said Terry. “We've been good friends—we've had some swell times together—and I'll never forget them.” “Of course not,” said Sally. “We have a lot to—remember.” “And | want you to know, Sally, it’s not a mistake this time. | love Tip. 1 never will quit feeling—the way 1 do now. I'll take good care of her.” “I know you will, Terry.” said Sally. “Now go in, both of you, and break the news to the family. After all the excitement, the family resistance is so low you can put almost anything over on them. Tell them you're en- gaged and that you're going to be married next week. I’ll back you_up.” ee Wait a minute, Sally!” cried ip. But Sally had turned her back on them deliberately and gone resolutely up the street. She had played her part well thus far. The rest would not be so hard, perhaps. A week longer, and she would, at least, not have to look at their happiness. Sally was glad of the busy clack of typewriters in the office. Everybody was at work. She, too, had work to do for no more time to think about hers self. (Copyright. 1936.
