PAGE THREB AT THE BOTTOM. - : THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1939 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN After A Man’s Heart by JEAN RANDALL YESTERDAY: George tells Buff Tim’s story. Tim took ore speci- ‘mens from the land Iris wanted him to buy, but Iris had an op- portunity to change the speci- mens before Tim could test them. Tim bought the land, found it worthless. Iris faded out with her ecegmplice, Latshaw. Chapter 10 A Girl Proposes INNER was early that evening for two reasons: Buff and Tim were faint with hunger, and George Weekes had to return tc Boulder before nightfall. “And even though the latc la- mented Atkins improved your road somewhat, I'd like a little light on my flying trapeze act,” he told Buff. He happened to be in the hall when the girl came downstairs, and he gave a low whistle when he gaw her. For reasons best known to herself, she had changed into the one dressy frock she had at the ranch. Its material was chiffon, its color pale green, and its floating hem almost touched the floor. Buff was transformed, Weekes told himself. He had seen her hitn- erto only in her favorite knitted suits, more often than not almost obliterated by one of Mrs. Webb’s voluminous kitchen aprons. Also she had changed the style of her hairdress tonight. The severely plain knot was loosened a trifle, allowing silky little waves and ten- drils to escape; and to top it all, she had used a knowing bit of lipstick, and clasped a sparkling bracelet about a slender wrist. “Help!” exclaimed the visitor. Buff extended a satin sandal to- ward the fire. “Like the getup? It’s to cele- brate.” “Celebrate?” Tim put the ques- tion from the doorway where he had halted at the sight of her. “Celebrate. First the rout— horse, foot and dragoons — of the Hunts—appropriate figure of speech, don’t you think?—second, a good meal which, oh, rapture! I didn’t cook myself. Though per- haps in the interests of accuracy, I should say I didn’t try to cook. All in all, I thought the occasion warranted a bit of dressing up.” She smoothed the folds of chiffon complacently. “Gosh, I'd hate to see you when you really celebrated,” George told her. “As it is, it's only the| knowledge of my penniless condi- tion that——” He halted abrup!t- ly, aware of the tightening of Tim's jaw. It was a gala meal. Mrs. Webb apparently labored under the de- lusion that the thrée would have no opportunity to eat again for days, and supplied them with food to him. I shall make it cp {> him,” he said with quiet firmness. “Tim.” The word came merest whisper. “We're bo eu in—in a fix, do you r ¢ that? How would it be if—if we joined forces?” He turned a perplexed and frowning look ugon her. ~(By Associated Press) | | | | (By “Associated Pressey t 7 ; ~|FINAL INTRAMURAL| SIDELINE BUSINESS | VERY SPECIAL SPECS KEY WEST IN DAYS:GONE BY | As Taken From The Files ie Citizen | OCTOBER 26, 1934 } School !iill be the subject for the!

You need to be taken care of,” she said simply. “Both pees premises are false, my dear, but even if they were not, what could we do about it?” “They're not false!” Stars of anger shone in her eyes. “I took a | course in psychology -—it lasteé | only four months becavse Lance | had to go to England—cor thought | he, had to—but I had my texthooks and I kept on studying. I disco ered that I’m definitely the ma- ternal type.” A flush rose ia her checks, either from the heat cf the fire or from embarrassment. Tim could not decide which. “I'll .al- ways need someone to take care of. And it’s simply rot far you to say that you don’t need to be looked after. You do—ycu vw for months. You have,” she ished proudly, “a scar on y psyche.” “Great guns!” was his starticd commient. “If that’s the sort of thing you learned in your course, I'd say you were definitely better without it. ‘Scar on my psyche,’ indeed! It sounds as if I'd had my appendix out, or had stopped a bullet!” ° She said coldiy and swee “You're simply betraying how tle you know of psychology! shall pay no attention to you—any more than you would to me if I came in all excited over finding a bit of fool’s gold in the mountains and declaring to you it was the | real thing!” Then seeing his ex- pression change, she hurried on: “What matters—the thing that really counts—is that we. shoul as I remarked before, join forces. “Meaning——?” “Meaning marriage,” she said, though this time the fire could ncf, be held responsible for the bright color in her face. “B JEFF, you're crazy!

Just so did her father look when life oecasionally seemed too difficult for him. George took his departure with effusive thanks and admonitions to his partner to “stay on as long as Buff can put up with you.” “Which will be no longer than tomorrow,” Tim said. They had re- turned to the fire, Buff curled upon a fat pillow on the floor, Tim oc- cupying the hardest and’ straight- est chair the room afforded. “No use telling George so. All he'd do would be to argue—to quote the doctors, and so on.” “Well, but —but—you aren't really well, Tim!
