TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1939 [After A Man’s Heart}| by JEAN RANDALL YESTERDAY: Buff’s parents ome to Boulder to find out what she is up to. Buff confesses to her mother that she is “head over ‘heels about Tim.” Chapter 14 A Father’s Advice NEITHER woman was surprised ‘ to have Lance arrive early with Tim, bewildered and a little angry, in tow, Lance triumphantly exhibited @ notebook crammed with sketches. “Got ‘em hanging around Cor- liss’s office,” he explained. “Won- @erful place. Corking types. El- eanor, I think we'll stay on here @ week or so. Too bad Buff hasn’t toom for us, but then the hotel’s comfortable enough. Corliss has promised to show me some types that will fit right into my plans for the new series.” Buff was demure and quiet all through the meal. Lance’s exuber- @mce made any other attitude im. sae and it pleased her to see ‘im thawing out minute by min- ute, under the genuine interest the older man displayed in his work. Confronted by Buff’s father, and feeling an apol due for his long stay at the ranch, Tim had tried to into words something of what ad happened to him. He was halfway through his second stumbling sentence when the cartoonist gripped him excited- ly by the arm. “Look at that fellow outside! Tim, my boy, go out and engage him in conversation for five min- utes, will you? Five will do though if you could make it ten... get'a move on!” Toward the end of tle afternoon, when Lance firmly annexed him for dimmer, Tim made a second and moré determined effort. “Mr. Carroll, about Buff. 1 think you ought to know——” “I know Buff, and that’s all that’s necessary.” Lance chuckled. “If she’s picked you as her partner for the march up a church aisle, my boy. you might as well give up first as las it. What that daughter of mine wants she gets—regardless, It’s simpler to yield than to fight, I’ve found.” Tim’s jaw set stubbornly. “You must do as you think best, of course, sir, but remember I'm not her father; I’m not related to her in any ie I want to make it clear to you that Buff is staying in Boulder because she chooses to, not because of any persuasion on my part.” ince nodded, turned his head to view with admiration a grizzled man who might be either a WPA worker, or a miner, Tim thought with grim amusement. The Carrolls spent ten days in Boulder. Lance was here, there and everywhere in his usual friendly way. The Denver and Boulder papers were highly excited by his pres- ence and he was generous with in. terviews. Buff did not know whether it was by chance or by intention that each newspaper story contained some mention of Timothy Corliss, friend and recent guest of the famous artist. What- ever the motive, the effect was beneficial. George caught Buff alone and told her, smiling radiantly, that Tim was now the town’s white- headed boy, his recent escapade with Iris DeMuth apparently for- gotten by popular consent. The evening before her parents left, they had a serious talk with their only child. Queerly enough it was Lance who began it. “Buff, that young man of yours is all right,” he announced. She said wryly, “If he only were my young man! But he behaves as though I had a peculiarly loath- some form of leprosy, or some thing.” ‘Burned Child’ ‘ARROLL shook his head in. dulgently. “Defense mechanism. He's a lot more attracted to you than he knows himself, or would admit if he did know. He’s a burned child just now and doesn’t realize that wi winter sets in a fire is going to afford a grateful warmth if used Oi ppaioeraon Stick around, Buff! weather comes early ‘up. “That's honestly your advice, Father and daughter exchanged @ long look; a look which made Eleanor feel momentarily isolated. She reminded herself that Buff had always been more Lance's child than hers; touched with his genius, endowed with his ability to get his own way, gifted with his happy-go-lucky charm. ly advice—honestly. At least for a few months. Between us, Weekes and I have hauled him out - ae shell—for the time being at ast.” BOY SCOUT NEWS TROOP 52 Garland Cates, Henry Gomez and Archie Potter were awarded their Tenderfoot badges and their names were placed on the ad- vancement roll at the troop meet- ‘To her amazement he tossed his notebook of sketches onto the table. “No earthly use to me, of course; but priceless as a means of oe Tim in touch with his fel- low men after last summer's de- bacle, He’s out now—of his shell, I mean. It’s up to you to keep him there, my little one.” juff, grasping the significance of these ten days—wasted as far as Lance’s own work was con- cerned—laid her cheek against her father’s hand. “You're + you're pretty swell, darling,” she told him huskily. “And if I can’t carry on from where you're leaving off, 1 don’t deserve him.” “Or he doesn’t deserve you!” Eleanor could not forbear the comment. Lance disposed of the subject so far as he was concerned. “Tim’s all right. What happened to him might have happened to any ee fellow. The thing is that he’s not played enough—got around to see people. He’s made a fetish of work and responsibility. When he thought he’d failed at both, and lost his ideal woman be- sides, the sky fell—or so he be- lieved. Give him a little time to re- gain his sense of proportion.” He rose, stretching his big frame in relief. “You're perfectly safe here with Mrs. Webb. You ought to have enough spare time to doa little writing. Won’t hurt Tim to realize you have other interests, you know. I think your mother and I will go to Bermuda. Early enough to eseape the tourists. Kiss your fond parents goodby, dear ¢hild, and don’t forget to write!” “Letters, stories’ or one-act plays?” Buff called after him. “All of ’em!” He swept his wife from the doorway where she lingered, gazing. mournfully at Buff. “Come along, sweet! Remem- ber that our train leaves at an un- godly hour tomorrow morning!” Popularity coe friendly little town of Boulder took Buff to its heart almost overnight. Tim Corliss, coming dutifully and reluctantly to-pay a late afternoon call on his erstwhile hostess, was arrested by sounds of hilarity from the living room, “I didn’t know Miss Buff was having a party,” he said to Webby, who had admitted him. “No more she is; unless you call every afternoon a party. Miss Buff and me, we decided we might as well serve tea every day. These here young folks that drop in are always hungry. You go right on in, Mr. Corliss.”*she urged hospitably. “Miss Buff'll sure be glad to. see you!” If she was, she restrained her delight admirably, he told himself. He found her the center of a laughing group of young people, some from the University, some older. They sat upon the floor, they filled the couches and armchairs to overflowing, they were very much at home, he thought with a trace of resentment. One of them in particular aroused his disap- proval, “Mr. VanLander, Mr. Corliss,” said Buff demurely. “Van's a neighbot of mine, it turns out; lives in the apartment just above.” “Van,” already, thought Tim. He surveyed the neighbor with ap- praising eyes and was far from liking what he saw. Young VanLander—Tim grave- ly doubted that he would-ever see the late twenties again—had hair a shade too long, lashes like a movie actress’s, and a vocabulary which was evidently his own pride and joy but which fell harshly upon the ear of the young assayer. “Cup o’ tea?” Van inquired brightly. “Ogle-dogle! Get it for you in a sec!” He ceremonious!: presented his “as if I were own chair to Ti ninety, or thereabouts,” Tim mused with hostility. When the tea was brought, Van doubled his long legs perilously close to the other man’s feet. (“If he onl knew how they itch to kick him”) Cosy little joint here, eh, what?” he began. “Nice child, our hostess, in spite of having brains. Personally I prefer women to be as pepe cere nM Bray. matter as compatible with making a man comfortable, But Bug ‘Are you speaking of Miss Car- roll?” inquired Tim coldly. Van stared. “None other; but why the formality? Buff is much easier to say, believe me! Lucky break for me, having her move in- to this apartment. I'm perpetually out of groceries — I'm my own housekeeper, see —and Buff and dear old Webby come to my rescue.” : “What else do you do howsekeen!* besides n expression of deep gravit: settled upon the other’s face, if ‘Continued tomorrow. rd ‘Today’s Horoscope Today indicates intensity, en- jthusiasm, a restless disposition, always trying new experiments and effecting operations without (design.
