WEDNESDAY, MAY LEAP BEFORE YOU LOOK By Peggy O’More YESTERDAY: The quarantine is lifted and the Tolands reluc- tantly depart. They have had a wonderful time. Aunt Hannah soys she intends to change her and Tomi%s convinced Al- charm is working against Chapter 26 Red Ink debated telling Pierre d happened. -aunt eames hadn’t_of- State’s sales tax eagle eye, must defray ‘ole battalion of lit- herald a victory he black army she had tried so hard to entrain to the battle- | front. “Allen put her up to it,” she| thought. “He showed her how that| would help cheat me of my heri-| e’s like he is, only diff he wants me to lose because} I violated a principle of the To- lands.” How could the world be so beau- tiful and hold such monsters in it? | How could that silly moon shed| such radiance on roses, draw dis- tilled perfume from night-bloom- | ing stock, silver the old house, and | yet make Allen Bartell look as} though it had been formed only to} add luster to his hair and laughter to his eyes. Pierre drew her closer, pressed | his lips to her brow. She wondered why she was glad his lips had| stopped at her brow. For two days Tomi, Abe and Pierre sought to bring order out of the chaos the Tolands had left. Late on the afternoon of the fourth day, Tomi, who had been laboring over her books trying to} make the black army stand up on} its hind legs and face the red army, retreated to her room to stretch on the chaise lounge in defeat. “Hoo-hoo,” came a through the front window. Tomi frowned. Probably a hoot- ow! who'd lost his clock and was singing in the daylight. “Hoo-hoo, Tomi,” it came again. | Hoot-owls didn’t sing Tomi, she | decided, and sat up to look out of} the window. A woman stood at the front gate, a beautifully gowned woman in_a rose-beige suit, a smart hat. There was an Alameda cab waiting beside her. Tomi went downstairs, puzzled. It might be Mrs. Bartell. though she had gone to Allen’s prune ranch early in April Swiftly she went to the front gate. The woman looked familiar. Her hair was short—waved, she imagined. Or was that a perma- nent w showed under the} smart hat? Beautiful complexion, pink cheeks, a touch of mascara on_the eyelashes. Tomi turned her head sideways and looked again. Great-aunt Hannah! Great-aunt Hannah beamed. “I put myself in the hands of one of those rejuvenators and told her to give me the works,” she an- nounced.

Responsibility. | I couldn’t marry because I hac to keep an eye on the money I couldn’t live humanly because I had to see the money was prop- | erly spent so the Tolands could} live properly. Well, damn the To- lands. From now on | am going to live, and if 1 nd every cent so that the second generation has to get out and dig ditches, I'll feel I've done my bit for posterity!” Tomi’s face expressed a queer mixture of fear and approbation. She felt like cheering, and she felt | like weeping. “Darling—” she laid an affec- tionate hand on her aunt’s arm— “it isn’t that I'm not too happy for | words that you're going to live} out here and that you're going to enjoy living for a change. It's— it’s Allen Bartell. “Don’t you see, Aunt Hannah? You did at first. You were the first one to accuse 21im of influenc- ing Great-uncle Timothy to write such a crazy will, And the Major, right in court, declared you folks were bringing a contest of the will because Allen had handled it in such a way the place would eventually revert to him.” Great-aunt Hannah called to the cab driver and stepped into the cab. She lowered the window and looked at her emcees “My dear child,” she said, “any- one who can influence a Toland to do anything a Toland doesn’t want to do is worth cultivating. Brooks,” she spoke to the driver, “take me back to Alameda, where T’m allowed to have a mind of my ae Brooks, the Alameda taxi and Miss Hannah Toland, late of Chi- cago, left Tomi Toland standing ee the roadside in a cloud of their just. “You look exactly like a hen who's hatched a duck,” remarked Dorothy Dougherty, coming down the road from the mail-box. “Who was your visiting dowager?” “The duck,” said Tomi thought- fully. “And I do feel just like a hen standing on the shore watch- ing my newly hatched foundling take off into deep waters.” And the worst of it was, she thought, as she went again to her office, she had exposed Aunt Han- nah to Allen. She should have | made Bartell stay on his property |and the Tolands on theirs. Tomi went into a huddle with her accounts. If she sold as many | frogs in the last half of the season as she sold in the first, she would fall short of her quota three thou- sand dollars. “Why didn’t I wait until winter to expand?” she cried, irritably. “Of course next season I'd reap the benefits, but it looks as though I might not be here next season.” At least she could have let such things as draperies for the living room, paper, paint and rugs wait. Each item had seemed so inconse- quential. Combined with cther inconsequential items, the result | was staggering. And the Tolands’ visit. One hun- dred dollars for the nurse. Surely Carrington would pay that and he doctor’s fee, whatever it was. it the groceries. Tomi gasped as she saw the bill. No wonder Great-aunt Hannah had fed tripe to her multitude. Tripe and pota- toes and bread and mutton were cheap, compared with the food she, Tomi, had purchased. Only One Answer (35 family had cost her seven hundred and twenty frogs. Resolutely Tomi reached for the telephone and called the Alameda - Hotel. “Aunt Hannah,” she began, when the connectian was made, “ordinarily I would have been happy to have had the Tolands as my guests, but under the present circumstances, having to watch my expenses as I do, I’m going to have to ask you to assume the cost of the Tolands’ board.” “Hmm,” buzzed Great-aunt Hannah. If you will remember, I was Tteady to assume the expensé he very hour I learned of the quarantine. However, you had the temerity to countermand my gro- cery order, to inform me you were |running that house and-intended to run it as you wanted it run. Under those circumstances, I can’t see that any of us are indebted to you in any way.” “Aunt Hannah!” But Aunt Han- nah -had replaced her receiver with empha: Tomi jiggled the hook and the operator came on to say, , icily, “Your party has hung up.” m again,” cried Tomi. aes completed. Tomi quic! “But I didn’t order cases ‘the nurse or the doc- ‘ou may send that bill to my ney,” conceded Hannah To- ‘I will... and how,” promised Tomi, to nothing but a singing She sat back and wondered just w her family should assume such an attitude. They all felt bet- ter for their change of diet. They'd learned to enjoy life while living on her farm. Then why? There was only one answer. Al- len Bartell. Tomi walked out into the gar- den. Sunset lay heavy on the world. The green cavern of shrub- bery was shot with gold. Beyond the garden the bay was a sheet of led gold. Even the old house mellowed, its peeling gray surface tinted to amber. “I love you,” Tomi cried pas- sionately. “I can’t lose you. Noth- ing ever could take your place.” She must find a way to save it That night she called a confer- | ence. Frankly, she told Pierre, Old Abe and Dotty the financial status jof the farm. |. “Our sales have to double the last half of the season if we are to | offset the cost. I spent so much the | first half. the second half has to meet the expenditures of the first j half and show profit.” “Miss Toland—” Pierre was | Speaking like the perfect em- |ployee—“may I speak to you | alone?” Tomi signaled Abe and Dotty to leave them alone. Pierre came close to her. “Why don’t you let me assume the re- | sponsibility. You've proven you jcan’t handle the business of | this. That is only natural Girls are not mentally equipped for business. You've worn yout wan little self to a shadow, trying to face an impossible situation. Pl relieve you, dear. Now turn your books over to me.’ “Pierre—” Tomi's voice was thin —“don’t you understand? Great-uncle Timothy was on my iakig «ties ee - ness woman. Allen is counting on that. And no one else can assume the responsibility if I am to_ win. That is the very point. I. Tomi Toland, must win.’ Continued tomerrow EXCHANGE | MATES | LOS ANGELES.—Following di- vorce suits in which two h bands charged the other hb stolen his wife’s affection and <l| Francis C.

CLASSIFIED COLUMN HELP WANTED (Spceial to The Citizen) NEW YORK, May 15.—Brook- ‘lyn Dodgers moved back into first-place position in the Nation- al League yesterday with a 13- inning victory over the Cincin- nati Reds, whom they replaced. It was a nip-and-tuck -affair all the way through, the score being knotted three times before the final run came in the thirteenth. Score was 6 to 5. Pittsburgh Pirates took heart and renewed hope yesterday and rose up to defeat the New York Giants, thereby breaking the lat- ters’ six-game winning streak. The 7 to 2 victery was engineer- ed chiefly. by a five-run sixth in- ning in which Elbie Fletcher hit for the circuit with the bags loaded. St. Louis Cardinals bowed to the Phillies, and bowed low, The Phillies blanked them with nine hits. Hugh Mulcahy, hero for a day, turned in the pitching fete, and contributed two safeties, ac- counting for three of his team’s runs. Score: 4 to 0. In the American League, the league-leading Boston Red Sox edged out the Chicago White Sox with.a lone run in the tenth inning. Score was 7 to 6. Jimmy Foxx hit homers number seven and eight to aid his club’s at- tacks Cleveland Indians took it on the chin yesterday from the Phil- adelphia Athletics, 9 to 7. Bob Feller was driven from the mound. Al Simmons, pinch hit- ter, drove in the winning tallies in the ninth with a single. Washington Senators knocked out a 4 to 2 win over the Detroit Tigers yesterday. Gerry Walk- er’s homer drove in a man ahead of him in the sixth inning. Emil Leonard gave away élévén hits to the Tigers, but kept them well scattered. Results of the games follow: NATIONAL LEAGUE At Brooklyn RHE) Cincinnati 513 2!
