MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1939 Meet Mr. Lochinvar omens By Marie Blizard To Cecily’s emazement, Philip Callen ap- pears at Darelea and admits to being her fiancé. Olivia has al- ready accepted him as a house guest. Chapter 10 ‘Interesting People’ ‘UPPOSE I make myself clear,” Philip told Cecily. “You an- nounced rather publicly that you ‘were engaged to Philip Callen. In fact, you did it, in your own words, “tosave face.’” “How did you know that?” demanded heatedly. “You look too intelligent to be- lieve a little bird told me so I'll be honest with you One of those things happened! My—that is, a friend of mine, June Wilkerson, happened to hear your little dis- closure, was amused by it and brought the news to me. Well now, I thought, I really ought, to see my Cecily. And here I am.’ “Yes, I see that you are. But, of course, you'll leave?” “But, of course, I will not leave! 1 think you are charming. I like your aunt and I think I shall en- joy a little visit with you all. A writer ought to get around and meet interesting people, don’t you agree with me?” Cecily walked in his direction. To: the door. His hand fell on he! m. “Where are you going?” “I'm going to ‘ell my aunt the truth.” His hand detained her. He began to speak very softly. “I wouldn’t do that, Cecily. I'd let it go if I were mp I mean no harm. After all, "m only looking for material. And if you'll forgive my seeming lack of modesty, I am a rather amusing fellow? There is also this—you will, continue to keep face. I sized those other girls up in five minutes. What will they think of you if you go in there now and admit that you had to manufacture «a ro- mance? Can't you be a good scout? Can't you pay your little debt that you incurred yourse]{? Don’t you think it is a bit unfair to use me for your own ends and now not want to make it up?” Philip Callen reached Cecily in her one vulnerable spot—she al- ways played fair. She looked at him steadily, saw that he was handsome in a heavy way, saw that there was a twinkle in his eye end—somethin~ else in she the firm line of his jaw that she| didn’t like. “If this is the way that you en- joy being invited to be a house- guest, and if this is your idea of payment for a foolish impulse, by all means do accept Aunt Olivia’s invitation. But please don’t annoy me > by any implied intimacy.” ell, you'll expect me to act like your fia: I hope,” he said, laughing at her. Cecily didn't sl very well that nce troubled n ‘ctedenti AGE asked for his Was TeSponsi- ble for ab "presence under her aunt's roof. Her uneasiness melted during the next week. Philip Callen fitted into the housé-party at Darelea ‘with charming grace. It was Philip who planned the costume dance at the Yacht Club. It was Philip who @rganized games in the evenings that had seemed long and dull be- fore he came. It was Philip who ar- ranged delightful motor trips for them. He was distinctly a.. addi- tion to the household. And he did include Cecily in his aura of popularity. Her own importance increased with his. Against her will, she found herself laughing at his impudence. But she avoided being alone with him. She found that she liked him when others were about but when she was alone with him, she felt that she distrusted him. She told herself fairly she had no rea- son to feel that way and tried to explain it to herself by saying that he had no charm for her. She didn’t dislike him. Nor did she like him. When Olivia insisted that he stay on after his first week at Darelek, Cecily sighed and accept- #6 thesituation. . Visitor HARP néedlesof rain struck the drawing-room. windows with, @ staceate sound, like points of steel on glass. Cecily, stirring the spoon in her coffee cup glanced idly over the room. At the far end, Olivia thumbed through her music. Karen and Allene bent over a jig- gaw puzzle. Gloria slouched in Be big chair and pouted. Cecily down her cup and picked up knitting. Then Philip came into the room. He had had some letters to write directly after dinner, he had said. Immediately the room came to life. “Isn't it dreadful, Philip, this rain!” Olivia moaned. “I don’t mind a little rain. When I was in California—Hollywood— we had six weeks of it. It was when Metro was making a picture of my novel—” Cecily sighed and looked at the clock. It was only a little after nine. She knew what the rest of the evening was going to be like. Philip had started on one of his “When-I-was” discourses. She'd already heard about when he was ion and, one anne “an SLOPPY WHIPS UNBEATEN PARK RETURN GAME IN SOFTBALL LEAGUE THURSDAY AFTERNOON By CORRESPONDENT Sloppy Joe whipped the unde- feated Park team Friday after- ‘CONCHS VICTORS IN TIGHT GAME ES, WIN.

She’d heard all she want- erd to hear, and all she wanted at that moment was another ball | of white yarn which was in the shop. Philip had audience about in a tale of the night that he was lost in the mountains when Cecily Be up and stole softly into the ‘athered his little She slipped on her sturdy boots and threw a raincoat over her frock, caught up an umbrella. She opened the door a ietly. With her flashlight, she picked out her way through the pines to the road to the village. It seemed to her that she was the only person out that stormy night. The village was dark as she ap- proached it with her head down. Nearing her own shop she saw that there was a light burning at the back. She made a mental note to remind Laura to turn it off when she left. Laura was a darling but she was absent-minded. Cecily opened the door which, as usual, she had left unlocked, took two steps inside and stopped where she was. ‘There was a man seated in her wicker chair calmly reading a book! “Hello,” he said in a voice with a drawl. He rose and stood towering >but with no menace—above her. Cecily saw in a quick, appraising glance that he was not frightening for all that his clothes were shab- by and his hair tousled. “Can I do something for you? The proprietor isn’t in and I don’t know much about the place but—” “T’m the proprietor,” Cecily said. “Oh, really?” I thought you might be somebody’s littlg girl,” he answered. His aplomb was un- | shaken by her announcement. “Thanks,” she said, and after a moment, “I don’t suppose you mind telling me if there’s some- thing I can do for you?” “Well, now,” he said thought- fully, “I’m quite comfortable, but I am hungry. Just a touch of chicken perhaps?” Definitely Pleasant (CECILY recalled herself. “Just ‘ what are you doing here?” He tried to smooth his rumpled | hair by running his fingers through it and Cecily saw that his hands were nice. Not the rough, unkempt hands of a sarap. She saw also that he did look hungry. Perhaps that was because he was tall and gaunt, because there was a kind of wistfulness about his face for all that he was entirely at ease and more in command of the surprising situation than she was. Then he looked at her with a glance that said plainly that he knew she understood. His grin be- came a wide smile. His white teeth lighted up his whole face and brought crinkies to the corners of eect brown eyes. ‘i a se, Lowe my hostess.an explani ton +2 said then. “Here -| it is, lady: I got into town after the telegraph office was closed, discov- ered my luggage hadn't arrived, that I was*momentarily embar- rassed for funds and therefore didn’t wish to register at the hotel. I just naturally gravitated toward a bookshop, discovered that the light was on and.the door open and took it for an invitation. It’s very comfortable here. I like it. Do you rent rooms by any chance?” “No, just books.” “Well,” he said, indicating a chair for Cecily which she sat on at once. He returned to the one he had vacated, and continued, “I’ve often felt that a book was more | necessary than a room. Although there are times—” Cecily thought: This is ridicu- lous. This man is treating me as though I were his guest. And I’m taking it! Then she wondered if he | really were hungry. She kept a jar of cookies, tea and coffee in the | cupboard. The girls frequently had their lunch or tea in the shop. Per- haps she ought to feed him before she turned him out into the night. “Pll make some coffee,” she said. “Let me,” he said, taking the can from her hand, and went at the coffee-making as though it were the most natural thing in the world for.him to be doing it cily thought: If I were the ae the most impudent, presum- in; i She couldn’t think of anything unpleasant to add to her summing up.

Yesterday afternoon at Trum- bo Field the up and coming Blue! Sox met defeat at the hands of Ray Bush’s hard-fighting Pirates. | Bucs started hitting Guiro Diaz, | Sox moundsman, at the very he- | ginning and scored two runs in the initial inning. After giving up eight hits and eight runs, Diaz was relieved by Molina, who set the Bucs down in one, two, three order in their half of the sev- enth. During the remainder of the game the Pirates scored. two runs and hit two safely. On the mound for the Pirates was Mal- grat, who gave up six hits and six runs. Final score was: Pirates 10, Blue Sox 6. In the nightcap, city champions and first-half winners, Key West Conchs, scored another victory over Earl Adams’ Trojans. Jackie Carbonell, twirler for the Trojans, held the mighty Gas- house Gang hitless until the sixth jinning wken Armando Aceyedo, league leading hitter, knocked ‘out the first single, immediately followed by another by Villa- | real. Cates, next man to bat, hit a line drive to Kelly, Trojan sec- ond sacker, who tagged second to jpuiout Villareal and pegged to first to catch Cates. This was \the only double play of the game.
