PAGE FOUR fter A Man’s Heart by JEAN RANDALL YESTERDAY: Lance Carroll draws Tim out of his shell. Their friendship helps Tim’s standing in Boulder. After her parents leave, Buff enters into an actine social life. Chapter 15 Soapy Buffs 1 alata cozy apartment was filled with a laughing group of young eople. Van, one of Buff’s satel- lites, aroused Tim’s disapproval at once. “What do you do?” Tim asked him. “I model in soap.” “You—what?” “Model in soap. It’s one of the newer arts. Soap is a softer me- dium than marble and — though this shouldn’t be taken into con- sideration —less expensive. I’m doing a rather good thing of Buff now: three inches high, full length.” “Does she know it?” The artist shook his head. “My dear, no, and | hope you won't tell ier; ii ns spontaneity to have the model conscious of osing. Here a little and there a ittle—her upflung arm one day, her ankles another—” Tim found the idea of this p son's concern witl. Buff’s ankles singularly repellent. “What,” he demanded, “shall your figure when it’s , | always sell my ent on cheerfully. ig like their true value, of cc e, but even z sculp- tor must There's a gift shop in town which handles my work with some profit to us both.” “And how much do you expect to get for this—this masterpiece?” dollar and eighty cents,” sighed Van. “The shop takes the Carroll are conc ready sold to me The arti: ned, they’re al- d and ran his hair, increas- ‘ance of artistic di- shevelment. “Opens a nice little avenue for blackmail, if you get me! But Art with me always. Be- fore I execute your commissions— oh, joy and gladness, at last I'm using that longed-for combination of words!—I heve ic know what you will do with the figu. iues.” “Dissolve ‘em in water!” Van shook his head. “There goes a weekly payment on my grocery bill,” was his mournful comment. “* was afraid you were like that. D’you think I’m going to toil with skill and a paring knife for hours only to have you make a suds of Buff? Nay, not so, and no, no, Na- nette!” “Then I'll keep em,” Tim prom- ised recklessly. “Not more than one a week, however; and aside from not destroying ’em, it’s none ef your business what I do with em. Is that perfectly clear?” “Perfectly.” Van scrambled to his feet and raised his voice, wav- ing a long arm toward the seeth- ing Tim. “Friends, behold my pa- tron! I have a weekly commission from him — indefinitely. On the strength of funds to come I invite you all to eat scrambled eggs and Saltines with me ne: Saturday night. I knew if I held on long enough success would surely come!” Tim, feeling as though he had borne as much of this sort of thing as he could, departed abruptly. In a few days a small box was ' { delivered at his boardinghouse. It was plastered with labels, warn- ing all beholders that it was “Fragile,” “Perishable,” “Break- able,” but its flimsy container was little or no protection to the figure within. Tim took it out and viewed it carefully, hoping or fearing that several serious accidents en route accounted for its appearance. If it was as it had left the creator’s hands, then Tim was paying two perfectly good dollars a week for practically nothing at all; for by no stretch of the imagination could Buff be recognized in the weird object thus disclosed. Beyond the fact that it was female and pre- sumably human, it looked like nothing ou earth. ‘Booby Prize?’ y JEEKES came in and found him staring at it. “Booby prize at a baby party?” was his cheerful inquiry. “Soap, isn’t it? I don’t advise using it, Tim. You might cut yourself on all those sharp lines.” ‘Tim put it on his closet shelf. “I think you're right, George Don’t be surprised if you see more of them appear. It’s my way of con- tributing to the Community Chest, that’s all.” He took occasion to make a tour of the gift shops in the town. Ina window he found several of the soap figurines. Even while his sur- prised gaze rested on the display, a clerk's hand withdrew the most hideous. Presently a woman came out, bearing triumphantly a parcel which Tim was sure contained one of the VanLander master- pieces. Tim wandercd away in a trance. “That makes three dollars and eighty cents he’s earned—earned? good Lord!—this week. I suppose on the strength of it he will give Navy Dance ?
