THURSDAY, MAY 9, «MAY 9..1940 — LEAP BEFORE YOU LOOK | By Peggy O’More ae YESTERDAY: Tomi goes into Allen’s arms, but as soon as help es for the disabled boat, she lunged back to reality. Pierre at her prolonged stay e island with Allen. Chapter 21 The Whole Family ILY said—” Pierre hesitated. ’ “She said Bartell was pulling his third degree on you. Those are her words, ‘pulling his third de- gree.’ And then she explained. She it looked as though you were going to win the farm.” “Pierre, snap out of it and talk sense. What has a third degree to do_with my success with the farm?” “When ever Bartell sees he’s losing a case, he turns his charm on some feminine opponent. He makes her want to lose, so he can win.” Tomi’s hands gripped the edge of the bench. Last night she had thought just that. She hadn’t cared about the farm, about suc- cess, only about Allen Bartell. “Lily said from now on Allen would be dating you regularly so he cotld keep you away from your work; ake you lose interest in it. Tom: think I’m a species of rat for tell- ing you this? Tomi looked at Pierre without seeing him. “Don’t you understand? If any- one were to treat my wife that way. le have a right to forewarn her, wi were shining like| two black diamonds. “Of course. Pierre, and you are preach Iun derstand. W Ve feel thin s different- ly. We react differently “And, Tomi, you wil marry me, t ve won the farm?” Tomi looked down at him and again she nodded with ee standing. “I think so, Pierre. not sure now that I want to care anyone. I mean, I do ant to think of marriage until this season is vale After that—” haf ni to do 5 Tomi stood up. “That’s where you are wrong. Pierre. I’m going to see as much of Bartell as I can. I'm going to stay so close to him I can itch his every move. No, Pierre, I won't listen to you. I am not your fiancee yet. I'm free, and | I want to be free. By the way, will you go to Sacramento for me this | week? I haven't been able to sell | the buyer for The Senator Hotel. That’s one of the best markets in the valley.” Pierre was satisfied, elated. Again, he was the dignified busi- ness man. The boyish, appealing Pierre was lost behind the brisk business- like attitude. “You'd better drive up today so you can see him first thing in the morning,” Tomi concluded. She went to her room to sit, tense, bitter. Everything Pierre had reported tallied with what had occurred the previous day. Allen had thrown her off-guard. She had seen him as a man, not her great-uncle’s attorney. Dotty had warned her he could turn his charm off and on, at will. He had willed to turn it on her for that brief time. She had basked in it, gloried in it. What a/ fool she had been. So the feed-line had vibrated loose, had it? And that island obligingly appeared at the proper time. Something else was going to vibrate loose before she got through with Allen Bartell. See him again? She certainly would. She’d be the Tomi he pro- fessed to like. Other men had found her enticing before she ever | heard of this legal gigolo. ‘Tm So Happy’ = Ae can play at your game, Allen Bartell, she eae and started towards the window which gave view of his house. She wheeled before she reached there and went to the front wi dow. She wouldn’t even look a’ his place. And Lily! What a fine wife she} would make, divulging Allen’s professional secrets to Oppo- | nents, Dotty said their engage- ment had never been announced, 89 she, Tomi, wouldn’t be violating any ethics if she gave that brassy- headed little blonde a long stretch of mma 5 hours. ad driven the car to the spot nearest the veranda ae om opened the gereen on and leaned out, watching him, talking to him. ‘TH — home that order,” he er.

They’ve come to visit me!” Dorothy Dougherty uttered a Pious phrase, eee to_ the aay, and sank into the nearest chair. out to the gate, and through th gate down the road. “Aunt Hannah!” she caroled. “Dear; dear Aunt Hannah!” The Queen Mary hat which rode the high pompadour went side- ways under Tomi’s onslaught. “Must you always leap?” de- manded Miss Toland. “Of course,” laughed Tomi. “Oh, Agatha, Amanda, Parilla, May— hello. And Carrinj Major, Harold!” She the last word, for Harold. May Toland-Carrington’s nine-year-old son, called her to attention with a vicious pinch, “I’m so happy.” Tomi bubbled. She was. The farm was going to be hers, and now the family forgiven her. They proceeded towards the house, flaying her with remarks. “You look like a picked chick- n,” condemned Great-aunt Han- nah. “Can’t you afford to have your house painted?” inquired Austin. “And why must you live ‘so far from transportation?” whined Agatha, limping. | “I don’t think slippers like that |appropriate for country roads,” | sniffed Parilla. Tomi laughed happily. The old | sillies. Where had they found new clothes that looked so exactly like the ones they had started buying ;back in 1898? And didn’t they | know there were other colors than | brown and gray?” | ‘I Was Here First” s= ushered them through the gate, thankful the garden was in such riotous bloom, up the path, | grateful that Abe had mowed the | lawn early that morning, and into iste house, confident no one could | find a speck of dirt. In the living room they sat and became silent. Harold had disap- peared. Great-aunt Hannah looked around, then said: “Your Great- uncle Timothy’s will states that no relative may | visit you more than once a year, jor remain longer than _twenty- four hours at a visit. Therefore, I | decided we should all come to- | gether to spend the alloted time.” Tomi gasped, “Oh, lovely,” and |indulged in mental gymnastics. |How would she sleep fourteen | people? Had she enough groceries to feed them? Why must there be a Sunday closing law affecting food stores? Tomi introduced a grim and approving Mrs. Dougherty who promptly counted noses and sighed. Then Tomi was engulfed in talk. She listened avidly. Never had there been such a trip, They had traveled on a beautiful new streamlined train. Such comfort, such food, such scenery. Tomi smiled. Heretofore the family had thought the continent started at New York City and ended at Chicago. The girls hadn’t | been to New York since Captain |Tom embarked for France. They | had visited him at Garden City. Tomi assigned them to rooms as best she could. She would bring their beds from the shed where she had had the extra ones stored. Then, while they toured house | and grounds, she hurried to the | kitchen to help the silent Dotty prepare dinner. | A high, shrill screech broke the Sabbath siillness, Tomi rushed to | the front porch to see Old Abe | fishing Harold out of the goldfish pond. He applied a sharp cuff fo the boy’s ear |_ “That'll learn you to catch | Tomi’s pets, you little heathen.” “Get off of this property!” de- | Hannah and she sailed into view. “Get off yourself.” spat Abe. | “Who do you think you are, any- how?’ Hannah Toland! “Well, I'm Old Abe,” he pro- claimed in return. “And I was here first.” Tomi sj to the rescue. She soothed Abe and soothed her aunt, then sent Harold in to don dry clothing. “Sit down,” ordered Great-aunt Hannah. Tomi sat on the bench she had occupied earlier that morning. “T just want an tell nT forbid you marrying All: tn Bartell Tomi ptotaced 2 if she were go- ing into hysterics.

The contest was loosely played, the victors allowing 11 hits. A ninth- inning rally by the Browns was halted with two runs across. Cincinnati Reds’ victory string was chopped off yesterday when the Boston Bees jumped on Paul! Derringer early in their game and continued, to win the fracas, 10 to 4. The Reds had won five straight games and the loss de- prived them cf moving into a tie with Brooklyn in first place. ! | St. Louis Cardinals opened up their game with the Philadelphia Phillies with three runs in the very first imming yesterday and continued with heavy hitting to! win the contest, 7 to 4. Stuart Martin hit two home runs for the victors. New York Giants respected | not the hopeless case of the Pitts-{ {burgh Pirates, who had lost ‘se en straight games up to yester- day.
