\ MESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1939 ee , YESTERDAY: Buff Carroll, the ~ aughter of a famous cartoonist, slways thought her impractical parents couldn't get along with: out her. She is shocked to over- hear them planning to go on a motor trip by themselves, to put her on her own. Chapter Two The Ranch BUFF was packing when her ) mother came to say they were ging down to dinner. “Already?” Eleanor’s eyes wid- ened. “You aren’t starting for the ranch tomorrow, Buff dear?” Buff. kept her back to the light, She had bathed and powdered her throug ber mop of bright gold r er mop of bright go haig.. She ho; she looked as Ps but $here ras no sense tak- 4 own of displeas- ure knitted her brows at the note of hoarseness she heard in her own voice, “Might as well! This gorgeous ‘weather-—~” She stopped, began again. “I may have to stay. on long- er than a week,-Eleanor. We left in a good deal of a mess, we yw; and Lance told Mrs, ¥ebb mot to-touch anything of bis, evento dust it. You'll be”— wed a little: but forced go on—“you'll be all f until I get back, Even if you have one of your headaches, you can get a nurse. It’s not like the ranch, or some of the funny places we've lived in——” At the nought of those funny places, and Tesponsibilities she had shoul- dered with such pride, a lump ame into her throat. They had ser her, Lance and Eleanor! Dr if not resented, exactly, they d been restive under her atten- ons. She felt her breast rising on tumultuous sob. “My leather acket———” she muttered, and Mived into the closet until she had | Fegained control of herself. Mrs. Carroll was too preoccupied ‘with her own_uneasy thoughts to Pay heed to Buff. Her dear little girl, her precious daughter! It Seemed too ungrateful, too actually mean to deceive her! But the child ‘was really developing a responsi- bility complex, ran the mother’s @nxious mind. For her own good a Stop must be put to it at once. “Of course I can get a nurse, if I need one. You're not to worry about us at all, darling! It'll be giorious in the mountains this time of year. The aspens will be turning -—you remember we said we want- ed so much to see them turn? And Mrs. Webb will take the best sort of care of you. Are you ready? Lance will be wondering what on earth has become of us!” When The Cat's. Away “TID it!” said Buff Carroll aloud and with triumph. The road which led to the ranch ‘was even worse than she remem- bered it. A heavy rain had exposed new boulders to surprise the un- ‘wary motorist. Her progress along it, she thought, resembled that of a snake in op But now she had attained the ranch house; pulled up her car by the side of it. She OBSERVATIONS FROM THE BLEACHERS By O. L. MILIAN Armistice Day, November 11, Trumbo Field will be the scene of a motorcycle race which will be sponsored by the local Am- erican Legion Arthur Sawyer Post No. 28. In addition to the Tace, there will be a ball game in which a strong local picked team will cross bats with the Key West Conchs. Last year’s show at the Navy Field was a grand Sutcess and the Legion commit- tee in charge of arrangements look forward to a greater day this year. Negotiations are almost baseball series between the Key West Conchs and Tampa's semi-} pros to be staged in this city next month. The probable date is November 18 and 19. , The semi-pros composed most- ly of Florida State Leaguers and better loop players recently de- i ) straighWéin a series in Ybor City. Players on the team who will make the trip to Key West are: Catchers, Peter Shiro, Sally League, Manuel Fernandez, Reids- ville, Bi-State League and Sam | Pizzaloto, South Boston, Bi-State League; Manuel Onis, first base, ) Leesburg, Florida State League; Sindo Valle, shortstop, Waycross; ) Florida-Georgia League; Ramon | Rodriguez, secondbase, South Bos- ton, Bi-State League; Vicente Granell, thirdbase, Fort Meade, Orange Belt League; Willie Beasley, Joe Diaz and Nick Shiro, outfielders.

She slid from beneath.the wheel and approached, the veranda. “H’m! Asleep in Lance’s own deck chair. “Able man, Atkins!’” The sun was:in her eyes so that she saw little more than a pair of long legs and a hat tipped over a face. “Atkins!” she called sharply. And then, “Hi!” The figure shot to its feet; eyes— which were certainly not those of Atkins—blazed into her own. “What the devil do you mean by all this row? I told you when I congrats I wanted quiet ... good gosh! “You may well say so,” Buff re- plied severely. She sat down on the top step, leaned against a pil- lar, and returned glare for glare. “Who do you think you are, to be ordering me around like this? And, incidentally, what are you doing ere? ‘Hallucinations’ H's gaze, growing bewildered, roved from the snow-capped range to hersmall figure.“Halluci- nations,” he muttered, “Doc told me I'd have ’em if I didn’t pull up. But I have po up,” he went on aggrievedly, more to himself than to her, “I’ve been out here for three of the ‘most confoundedly long days I ever lived through.” She removed the ghillie from her left foot, and rubbed an ach- ing arch, } | “What are you doing here?” yelled the strange young man, Oe which she summoned the capa- | hi ble kins a whacking sum to pose for i | i | Just keep a pencil near your bed, j | You should not risk ’till break of | , To “Cracks and Comments” and { | We find your efforts lots of fun, «Dp, T's?” “No!” he exploded. “Overwork —at least so they’ve almost con- vinced me.” i “Doing what?” “Slaving over ore analysis... | hey! you're the one to- answer | questions! What are you doing | ere?” She shook her head. “You're in a bad way, m’lad! You don’t even know where you are. This isn’t a hospital, not even a private sani- tarium. It’s a ranch. You have no business here at all.” | “Your mistake.
