MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1939 After A Man’s Heart| by JEAN RANDALL YESTERDAY: Buff tastefully decorates her new apartment, and Mrs. Webb cooks delicious din- ners for Tim and George. Tim is beginning to feel that Buff is car- tying the joke about being en- gaged to him, a little too far. Chapter 13 Parental Pressure BURFs parents arrived in Bould- er the next day, Lance raging at having to come for his recreant daughter, Eleanor uneasy over a situation which she did not in the least understand. Buff made it all clear to them both in half an hour’s talk. “Tim needs me,” she said. “And 1 —I need him. That's really all there is to it, dears.” Lance, hitherto restrained by his wife’s hand on his, burst into ex- clamatory s “All? All? It’s neither the begin- ning nor the ending. Buff, are you sure you're well? You may be com- ing down with one of those linger- ing illnesses; walking typhoid, perhaps. At any rate, I want to see this fellow; ask him some ques- tions. Who does he think he is, any- way, that he expects to marry my daughter on such short acquaint- ance, and without my consent? Why, I've never so much as laid eyes on him! Your mother and Eleanor again silenced him. “There’s really only one question to be asked, Buff darling. Do you love him?” Buff raised clear eyes to hers. “I don’t know, Eleanor, truly 1 don’t. All I know is that I want to take care of him. He’s been so ter- ribly hurt”—her own sensitive face reflected Tim’s misery—“and he has nobody but George Weckes to stand by him. And—and I do need an occupation!” “Marriage should be something reore than an occupation, dear. It is an occupation, of course; a full time joo for any woman. But un- Jess there's romance—glamor—to start one off with, I doubt if it would be bearable.” They were talking together, mother and daughter, as if Lance were not present, a fact he re- sented. “What’s the man’s name?” he demanded. “Corliss—oh, yes, I re- member you wrote us about him. Tell me why he’s been hurt. Why should he be hurt? He’s a grown man, isn't he? Men don’t allow themselves to be hurt. Men are first of all—that is, if the amount to anything! — self-reliant. Look at me, for example. Do I need help? Does anyone look after me? On the contrary I spend my life protecting a and daughter.” is wife and daughter ex- changed smiles. Buff launched into a detailed account of what had happened to Tim. She knew and counted upon her father’s easily aroused neal for the unfairly tweated. Nor-was she disappointed in this case. By the time she had finished, Lance was boiling with rage at Iris DeMuth, her partner in deception, the entire citizenry of Boulder, its government, its local ordi es and state laws. He was with difficulty restrained from lunting up a lawyer and filing charges against several people, George Weekes included. “He should have realized what ‘was happening,” he said illogically. “He was here while poor Corliss ‘was in Idaho Springs, you admit that yourself!” Elearor remained unmoved by the story of Tim’s various misfor- tunes. Usually the softest-hearted of women, she was definitely an- tagonistic toward this man who had usurped her parents’ place in Buff’s heart. ‘Incredibly Stubborn’ “[F IT is her heart and not her maternal complex,” she mused. “Heaven knows I want a happy marriage for my child, but how do I know this would be happy? It doesn’t sound so. The only thing in the man’s favor is that so far he has held out against Buff.” She used to reflect on this amazing lortitude, She and Lance knew what*it meant to oppose the pz when she set her id as well as ee come ct any action. “He re: must a strong person,” she admitted reluctantly. EGr else incredibly stubborn.” Mrs. Webb greeted the Carrolls with joy, declaring it was a real leasure to have the artist to cook or. She served them a lunch which banished the last of Lance's ill humor, and he set forth to call on Tim in his pleasantest mood. “I wish he wouldn’t go,” Buff said eabepply. “This is my own problem. I don’t want any parental pressure spceee If Lance chooses to play the heavy father-——” “Darling, don’t you know him better than that? He'll probably fall into conversation with Mr. Corliss——" “Tim!” “Well, Tim, then,” she sighed. “He'll probably get Tim to talking of mining and miners and before ees Today's Birthdays SSSSSESSSSSSOSPOLOSSOSOS BIRTHDAYS iwr Lynn P.

Then one of two things will happen—as you should know by this time; either Lance will walk away absent-mindedly, with- out remembering even to thi Tim, or he'll hook a friendly arm through his and pane him along back here to dinner. The one thing you can depend upon his not doing is to ask Tim his intentions.” Buff shook her head mournfully. “I know them all too well. He’s made them perfectly clear to me. That Iris person has turned him definitely against marriage. Added to that, he’s in debt and he thinks I'm an heiress. Also he believes me to have left kindergarten year be- fore last and consequently I’m too young to be taken seriously.” “He knows about your plays— your short stories?” The girl shrugged. “The achieve- ments of a precocious child—if he thinks of them at all.” She left her chair and came to curl up on the floor at her mother’s feet. “Eleanor, tell me! How did you know whether you were in love with Lance or not?” The older woman put a tender | hand on the golden head. | “Darling, if you’re in any doubt | about the matter you simply aren’t, | that’s all. Being fond of a man, | wanting to look after him—that’s ! not enough. The old rule of not | considering whether you can live , with him but whether you can live without him still seems to me the | best touchstone. Buff, can you— | ean you live without Tim?” | There was a moment's silence, | then Buff raised a flushed face. | ‘Head Over Heels’ “NOt happily,” she said, her eyes | meeting Eleanor’s squarely. | “If that’s really the touchstone | then I’m sunk—head over heels } about Tim. When I wake in the | morning I try to imagine where he | is, what he’s doing. When I plan | the meals I think what he’d like or not like, even though I know he'll not be here to eat them. When he and George come to dinner I seem tu hear only what Tim says, though it’s George who does most of the talking. A—a sort of light comes into the room with him, the sound of his voice makes me shiver a lit- tle. His face—and I know with my mind that he’s really not at ail handsome!~seems to me the most | attractive I’ve ever seen. Does— does all this make sense to you, Eleanor?” “There's no sense in an attack of first love, Buff dear. I wish I could feel this is only that; an attack of sentimental measles from which you'll recover,” “But you don’t think so?” Mrs. Carroll’s face was sad. “I’m afraid not, my Buff. You always were a loyal little thing. You’ve held on to your friendships through travel, change of any kind. Oh, how I wish I'd never let you go ‘out to close up the ranch!” “Wait till you see Tim,” was the confident reply. “Then you'll be dancing iperkent jigs of rapture that fate sent him my way.” Not even a mental picture of her- self saulaing, in this form of ac- tivity could banish the look of worry from Mrs. Carroll’s face. “Buff, darling, before this goes | any farther—before you settle down to what really amounts to a siege—use your zommon ‘sense. If this man doesn’t love you—and it would seem that he doesn’t in the face of what he’s done and said— the wise thing, the only thing to do is to leave here as soon as pos- sible. A change of scene, new friends, your playwriting — you need them all to cure you of what may be merely infatuation for the only man who’s needed you besides Lance; or for what may be genuine love, unrequited.” She smiled faintly at the old-fashioned word. “He’s just recovering from an un- happy affair with a woman. Usu- ally a man’s heart is rather easily captured on the rebound in such cases. If it isn’t, then he’s pretty apt to go through life without marry- ing. Better come back with us to Chicago for a while, dearie!” “Mother”—Eleanor started a lit- tle at the unusual form of address —‘“don’t you believe it’s really the woman who selects the man rather than.the other way about? Think back-to.your own girlhood. Hadn't you decided on Lance as ahusband ages before he—proposed to you?” An unwonted pink crept into the older woman's face. “Y-yes; but then he’d been pay- ing me marked attention, Buif: courting me, as we called it then.” “Nevertheless you had settled it in your own mind before he spoke. You made it easy for him to see you. You employed all sorts of feminine arts to win him even though you weren’ honest enough with yourself in those days to ad- mit what you were doing. True?” “True, I'm afraid. But Lance wanted me, and this Tim Cor- ore it ‘Is going to want me, too. You wait,” predicted Buff confidently. Continued tomorrow.
