SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Meet Mr. 16, 1939 I 2 ee By Mare Blizerd Es YESTERDAY: Although Locke doesn’t come to Cecily’s first pay- ing supper, he drops around af- terwards. They eat let-overs to- gether and she tells him the story ofjher life. P Chapter 15 Mystery Man q MUST tell you about how I learned to make an Italian salad,” Locke said. “It was in Nenice—the Lockes were doges, of course — and I used to putter around in the kitchens, a floor be- low the canals and very conveni- ent, too. Many a cabbage did I hook as it floated past our kitehen window. Have you ever been to Venice?” . “Yes, Lhave, and nary a cabbage did I see floating in the canals. You must have been very lucky that day you caught a cabbage.” “Well, maybe you have to be Irish to sense those things,” he answered readily. “Where was I?” “In the kitchen under the canal.” “Not under it, Cecily. How ‘would you expect me to fish unless I were on a level with it?” Cecily sighed. “I don’t expect you to do anything that makes sense.” “Good! That’s the best start I’ve ever made with a girl.” Cecily thought: This is the most inane conversation — but please don’t stop. “You don’t mind if I make a Start, do you?” Cecily felt the quick flush that Tose to her cheek. The nearest she had ever come to conversation of this sort was the night that Ted Pryor had asked her to marry him. And that brief conversation could hardly have been called light banter. She didn’t know what to say. She said, “I'd like another cup of coffee. Would you?” He gave her a quick glance and 8aid he’d make it. “If I remember, you said that you learned to make coffee on the desert?” “Did I? I thought it was when I ‘was a beach-comber,” he replied glibly. “When you run out of a story- book background, would you tell me what you really do?” There! She had started asking him ques- tions again and she really hadn't meant to! . It didn’t really make any differ- ence. No matter what she said Locke was not for answering her seriously. “Do you mean how do I live in this workaday world? I’! tell you. I on along on very little, earning @ few cents here, a few cents there. Just enough to get around and see what's going on in the world. Why, only yesterday I sold a mess of fish to Mrs. Arnold down the road. Made a pretty. penny, too. May take fishing up seriously.” “It's nice work.” Cecily felt un- Teasonably aggravated by the re- sults of her probing. “I say!” He got up and walked toward her window. “You've got just the place for it!” “For what?” “You could put a partition up here, cover it with glass and floor it with salt ice.” Cecily watched him, amused. “It would attract attention to the books and bring the curious.” “Whatever are you talking about?” — “The window. Make a great dis- play case and add a little life to the place to see it filled with a few fish. We might catch only the ones that matched the color scheme here.” “Fish in the window!” “Certainly. I'm offering you a partnership. How about it? I'll €atch the fish and you'll sell ’em. Start a little competition with Calder. Nothing like competition to spur business. And some day when you're head of the Vickers- wt Chamber of Commerce, I ope that you will remember me ‘when you make speeches. That’s ail the jeward I ask. I will feel that in my small wy, T have helped to carry on. That I have contributed @ small share in the. development of the world’s business, been even 8 remote part of the industry that has made Maine... .” ‘Fascinated’ BD you mind selling your fish somewhere else, Mr. Locke?” Mr. e deflated. “Sorry, didn’t mean to bore you. That’s the way san agro ret = om petuous thoug! nd it's Locke, not Mr. Locke.” “You weren’t boring me,” she said contritely. “In fact, I'm fasci- nated. I was only thinking that our staff isn’t very competent to han- die fish. We're too tender-hearted to see their poor eyes staring at us #s they yearn for the blue waters.” “So you're sorry for tramps an fish! kittens and stray pups when you were a kid.” “Doug and I were crazy about kittens and puppies, but we = so keen for tramps or dead Up went his eyebrow in that crooked, quizzical gesture. “Oh, I didn't mean that you were a tramp. I didn’t even think it,” she said hurriedly. 7 “Didn't you?” he returned easily. “But, of course, I am. Na I don't often admit it. ‘A gentle- man of the road,’ I call -myself.” By CORRESPONDENT Park team in the afternoon Old Men's Diamondball League has selected Fred Marvil as their new Cecily wanted to shake him. Oh, she thought, you’re nothing but cruel. You know I want.to know about you and you turn off my questions with the gentle breeze. of your words. You make me feel completely ineffectual. Don’t you know. that I think about you, won- der about you? She didn’t say any of those things. Nor did she say that she was thinking: In a little while he will be gone and then there will be an- other week or perhaps longer un- til I see him. And in between times Tl wonder if he has enough to eat. A gentleman of the road. Ye he was definitely.a gentleman. You saw it in his face and in his man- ner. Cecily corrected the word manner to manners. Anyone could have a manner. Manners meant breeding. Philip Callen had man- ner. She did not admit.Philip to Locke’s eategory. “Then I suppose you know the habits of the little wild things, the birds, the bees and all that?” “I know a place not very far from here that I think you'd like. You walk through a.pine wood to get to it and suddenly -you come on a cove where the waves pound on ‘a white beach and there’s lots of dried seawood for a roaring blaze. I also know hew to cook a fine steak and bake potatoes in that fire.” “Near here?” she asked eagerly. “It’s a secret hideaway of mine,” he cautioned. “It’s a long walk, Jong enough to work up an appe- tite. And after you’ve rested your weary bones and filled the inner man—not to mention the inner woman—with the salt of the earth and a little of the seasalt, you lie hack on the sands and wateh the stars fill the bow! of the heavens. ‘Would you like to see it?” Cecily’s lips parted and her eyes glowed. “Yes,” she said softly. Strictly Business “QUNDAY?” “Sunday.” “Great! No high heels and no powder puffs. We'll adventure life in the raw, in a manner of speak- ing. Got a good stout pair of boots?” “Yes, and a warm sweater.” “I see. You’re experienced such a great adventure before?” “Not like this one,” she said truthfully. “We shall see,” he answered. “Now, then, all else that. you will need is a good appctite, a Jong stride and a stout walking-stick.” “For walking or protection?” “Only for walking,” he said re- assuringly, and Cecily felt em- harrassed. She hastened on. “What time will you come by for me?” “T’m not coming to Dare!ea,” he said. “I'll meet you at the fork leading to the North road at three o'clock. On?” “Why won't you come to Dare- lea" He looked away from her, his: face setting. Then he looked back and he was grinni| forgotten the pos: Locke left Cecily at the gates of Darelea. He stood in the shadows until he saw the big door open to let her in. If she could have seen his face then, she would have seen his eyes, that the lines beside his. laughing mouth were set reso- lutely. He lingered there for a few minutes, Then—when the door had closed behind her — noiselessly, with an Indian tread, he entered the gates. His feet made no sound on the pebble path. He left the path where it turned toward the porch and swung around to the where the long drawing-room windows showed a slit of light be- tween the drawn curtains. quietly faded into the night. cn sank into a chair, “Well,” Philip inquired bright- ly, “how did party comé off oe . “It wasn’t, aparty,” Cecily re- turned. “It was strictly a business arrangement and it was quite a success, “Olivia”~-Philip appealed to his hostess by the name she had in- sisted upon—“what am I going to do with my Httie career woman? Do you suppose when we're mar- ried that she’s foing to take her work seriously? Under his lids, he flashed a mocking glance at Cecily. Cecily wanted to slap him. “You know Cecily better than I do, Philip,” Olivia answered. “You must know that she is not the flip- pant type. I trust that you'll be able to handle that situation when the times comes.” A lot he knows me!
