The Key West Citizen Newspaper, February 20, 1940, Page 3

TYESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1940 Bi itiiiiiiiiitd YESTERDAY: Sue goes to Kansas City to take a plane, and ‘3 from the newspapers ‘that Bob is bankrupt, She realizes then that Pat knew of Bob's straits, and that Bob is not in love With Pat. Sue dashes home, again, Chapter 29 Change Of Fortunes S= went to the telephone, called Bob’s number. His personal Secretary answered. “Mr. Trenton’s out just now, Mrs. Trenton. I don’t know when he’ll be back. No, he left no mes- sage but I got the impression he didn’t intend to return at all to- day.” “You have no idea where he went? The Benton Club, perhaps? The Chamber of Commerce?” “I wish I knew.” Something hu- man and sympathetic crept into the crisp voice. “Neither of those places, I'm afraid. It’s—it’s a ter- Tible blow to him, Mrs. Trenton; but of course you don’t need me to tell you that!” Sue, her hand still on the instru- ment, bit her lip. Where should she call, whom should she call next? Alien! The answer blew grate- fully across her hot perplexity. Tt was late afternoon before Bob returned to his home. Allen had telephoned his sister several times, reassuring messages for the most pert. Bob was tied up in a ¢on+ ference at the bank, Bob would be free presently, Bob was perfectly all right; pretty low in his mind, poor fellow, and dog-tired, but taking the blow like a man. Sue met him in the hall. Her small face was quite beautiful in its forgetfulness of self, in its sweet sympathy. He stared at her for a moment as though she were a stranger. Then: “Sue!” he said brokenly. “Oh, Sue, you're going to stand by me! I knew of course you would, but I didn’t realize all it would mean to me. Sue. ...” “There, Bob, there!” She drew him into the livingroom with a moming hand on his arm. “Of course I'll stand by you. I'm your wife!” Kitchen “VOU need a man to do that, Sue,” Pats said disapproving- ly. “That is, if you’re going to bother with it at all. Personally I don’t see why you do!” Sue, panting a little, ceased her attack on the clods of dirt in the tiny back yard. The area she in- tended to be a flower garden had been spaded but not raked. Now in the thin April sunshine, she was dressed in old riding clothes and her shabbiest shoes, wrestling with the stubbornclay: “It's fun,” she informed her sister-in-law. “This used to be a charming old garden, Barbara’s grandmother tells me. I’m going to try restoring it just as it was in the Academy’s time.” Pats’ disparaging glance traveled from the tiny brick building which was now the Trenton’s home, to the larger one some fifty yards away. ho but you would think of iving in an old kitchen!” < ‘Kitchen! It was the dining- room, I'd have you know! That’s what gives us our lovely big room downstairs. But think of the poor eg having to trail clear over ere in wet weather when meal- time came around! I wonder why, when they were building the academy, they didn’t include din- ingroom and kitchen!” The other girl shrugged. It seemed to her supremely unim- portant. The Young Ladies’ Acad- emy had flourished more than half a century ago. Now the larger place was an apartment house, the smaller had been made modern to the extent of adding plumbing, lights and furnace. Nothing else had been changed. “You were foolish not to take an apartment,” she rebuked the gar- dener. “You could have had five nice rooms for the same rent as this shack.” Sue smiled but said nothing. Her tiny domain had charm, and she knew it. The wide-boarded floors were of walnut, the big old room which, with the exception of the small kitchen constituted the entire first floor, was quaintly panelled. “You haven't asked me what I = for,” Pats suggested present- iy. ie was smart ina green wcol suit, with gloves, hat and shoes of the came creamy brown. She had dragged out a chair for herself, careful ‘o see that it was placed on the sidewalx and not on the actual scene of Sue's labors. s “Por the pleasure of seeing me, T hope!” 2'ats did not-smile. Allen’s sister was no longer an adret to her save that her popularity in the town seared undiminished. Mrs. Allen Davenport had to her own clothes now, could no longer dine #t the besutiful Trenton place, nor rely on a Trenton car'to drive her about. “I came to tell you that your house is sold!” ; Sue’s smile vanished. How like Pats to wish to be the bearer of CASH REGISTERS ON DISPLAY AT CONCHA BY LOUISE PLATT HAUCK SCOOBRHOSASEEEEOBEEOES bad news! Not that it was bad news, in this case. The sale of the PEREZ ALL SET | FOR RETURN BOUT SECOND STRAND ARENA| SHOW TO BE'STAGED | beautiful home north of town had , been an occasion of rejoicing to both herself and Bob; but Pats could not know that. “Aren’t you sorry?” Pats de- manded. “Heavens, Sue, you're the coolest thing! Think of that lovely place—all its furniture and everything! I should think you’d gee howl at the idea of letting it go. Forest says'you needn’t have: given up the furniture, or your personal things — like your own car, and the pearls Bob gave you. You were an idiot to do, it, I | think!” “I’m sure you do, Pats; but Bob and I saw the matter differently. Whew, this clay is stiff!” She du; into a pocket for her handkerchie! and wiped her warm face. “As for the sale of the house, I knew about it last week; knew that there was a chance for it, anyway.” Her tone dismissed the subject so emphat- ically that even Pats hesitated about Somumen ting Sar pet: How- ever, she had other tiny barbs which she proceeded to throw at Sue, hoping to penetrate that busy | young person’s calm serenity, Tragedy? SpOBsst says they offered you a grand position in that new antique shop,” she observed. “Why on earth didn’t you take it?

It’s far smarter to be a business wo- man these days, whether you need to or not, than it is todo yourown | housework.” Sue’s ironic gaze rested briefly on the expensive figure of ‘her sister-in-law. This from Pats! When Allen’s home was badly run by the servant who had finally succeeded ‘the long suffering Mag- gie; when Pats’ earlier training could have enabled her to take her own advice without difficulty! Sue remembered the last time she and Bob had dined with the Daven- ports, and Bob’s disgusted com- ment on food and service when they reached home, “Forest says—” “Forest has a good deal to say, it seems to me, Pats! What we do, or don’t do is really none of his business. There! I’ve got this pretty smooth, I think. Bob and I are going to put the seeds in to- morrow afternoon.” “His afternoon off, isn’t it? Doesn’t he feel terribiy, working in a retail shoe store? I told Allen I wouldn’t embarrass poor Bob by ! going in—” “He isn’t a clerk, you know; he’s a buyer. I doubt if you’d see him. Go in by all means, if that’s where you like to buy your shoes!” There was an edge to her voice. She had haa enough of Pats for one morn- ing. “Well, anyway, I do think it’s been a tragedy for you both! Giv- ing up your membership. in. the. Country” Club,” losing “everything on earth you possess, having peo- ple drop you from their lists—” Sue suddenly lost patience. “Did you ever hear of Job’scom- | forters, Pats? You're a swell imi- tation of one, anyway. I’m going | into the house now. Coming?” “Y-yes. For a little while, per- haps. I've got to meet some of the | girls downtown for lunch but there’s an hour yet.” She glanced about the big room they had en- tered. “I’ll say for you, Sue, you’ve done wonders here!” The other nodded briefly. At last her share of her mother’s furni- ture had come out of storage, and beautiful old furniture it was, too. The well-proportioned old room would have satisfied the most ex- acting taste, its owner thought. Upstairs were two bedrooms and a bath, reached by an almost spiral staircase curving from a narrow hall. This was her entire domain, and she had come to love it al- ready. _ She was not unhappy, she real- ized suddenly. She was, in fact, more nearly content than she had been in years. Perhaps it was be- cause all decigi ad been made, the uncertai: led, the parting with Eric finally effected. There had bem a terrific struggle between them.! seemed toiSue icredible that go momentous a situation could have existed for days and none of those near her have realized it. She had sent Eric a letter on the day of Bob’s catastrophe. She had worded it cautiously but so ex- plicitly that she felt he could not fail to understand. His sole reply had been “Come at once.” Telegrams flew back and forth between them for two days; then he called her, flinging discretion to the winds. Sue had taken the call ‘in the living room at the act- ual moment Bob and his lawyer were discussing the settlement of his affairs in the library adjoining. {aeeiSIOe her eager flow of words, Eric said: “The failure is beside the point. It has nothing to do with us. For the last time, Sue, will you come?” “Eric, you rust see that I can’t. Not now, at least. When things are beiter, wher. Bob ‘gets this mess straightened oui—”” “Do you love me, Sue?” ‘Oh, Eric, yes!” “Then put all this nonsense aside and come. Or I'll come. to you, if you'd rather. I'll take you away. you hear, me, dearest?” ee 2 ‘man, who will be glad to take |care of the needs of customers in} | this territory. ooking backy,it | Complete line of new and used | National Cash Registers will be displayed for this week up until Friday, February 23, at the Laj Concha Hotel. j Representatives of the Nation- | al Cash Register Company here} include an authorized service | i | stense nose eee | NAVY NOTES By BYRD U.SS.
