SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1940 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN t ‘the School lads, connecting for Cette SPITFIRE YESTERDAY: No one in New York takes pretty Brenda Burn- hom’s writing ambitions serious- ly, so she arranges to live for awhile in the old Burnham resi- dence, now a boardinghouse, in a@ midwestern city. On her ar- rival—disappointed at the dp- pearance of the shabby house on the shortest street in the city, tired from her journey, and an- noyed at the absence of the housekeeper — Brenda quarrels with the only person at home, Dion Dale MacKelvey, a young advertising man. Chapter Two Isobel SOBEL BURKE was at the sink, washing lettuce. She was tall and thin, with gray-green eyes and red hair. When she gazed mourn- fully intp her mirror, she saw the freckles on her nose, and not the white skin which set them off so piquantly. She set her wide mouth so grimly that she never knew how charming were its curves when she smiled. She was a pian- ist of real ability, and divided her time between a daily radio quarter of an hour, and teaching at the ambitiously named Conservatory of Fine Arts. Without turning, she said: “Ade- lgide got back yet?” Mac unwrapped the steak. “No. Nor Grenadine. You know as well as I do that it will be midnight be- fore they call it a day.” “But I heard you talking to somebody upstairs! It was a wo- man’s voice, Mac!” He grinned. “So it was, my dear Miss Burke. No concealing any- thing from you, is there? Miss Brenda Burnham, our distin- guished new boarder, has ar- rived.” “Mm. Young?” “And pretty.” Isobel had put the lettuce into a tea towel, caught the edges to- gether to form a bag, and now stood hurling the contrivance about her head to free it from water. Mac dodged the sudden shower. “Pretty?” She let the bag fall to her side, regardless of its dis- mal leakage. “Oh, Mac!” “Nothing to be worried about,” he soothed her. “She thinks this vies is terrible, and I’m worse. e’ve already had two rows.” This information, far from cheering Miss Burke, seemed to finish her. She slumped into a chair and regarded Mac despon- dently. “This is simply frightful! If you’re already on rowing terms what her——” He was busy with the steak, trimming it, fitting it into a broil- ing pan and lighting the gas oven. “Oh, I am! As a matter of fact, I doubt whether we're even on speaking terms at the present mo- ment. She’s a scrapper.” He leaned against the kitchen wall while he waited for the broiler to attain sufficient heat. “Her hair curls all over her head like a baby’s, and she’s got the most alluring pair of dimples I ever beheld. But don’t you care,” he further consoled her. “She's spoiled, and she’s up-stage -.. the last of the Burnhams, d’you get me?—returning to view ‘her ancestral home and throw in her lot with the hoi polloi.” Isobel brightened. “She does sound pretty bad, but still—she must be a pretty fast worker! Just got here today and been fighting with you already. I,” she added virtuously, “make it a rule never to row with any man till I’ve known him at least a week.” She rose and began removing the lettuce from its bag, drying| each leaf carefully. “Maybe Eric will fall for her,” she mused. “I suppose he isn't home either?” CHISOX GAIN ON TIGERS; WIN 2 701 RIGNEY HOLDS DETROIT TO THREE HITS: GIANTS DE- FEAT BEES IN NIGHT CON- TEST, 8-1 (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, May 25.—John Rigney war the hero of the day ye:terday in the major leagues when he turned in a_ three-hit peiformance for the Chicago White Sox against the Detroit Ti- gers, thereby’ protecting the Sox’ hold on fourth place in the stand- ings and coming to. the third-place Tigers. White Sox made it five: victorie Tigers, close aight the game were in their over nal 1 win score of this being 2 to All runs scored in the fourth inning. In a night game played in this city, the New York Giants over- whelmed the Boston Bees, 8 to 1. Harry Guimbert was in top form, allowing the Bees only five hits. Three G hit homers, Joe Mocre, Jurges and Albie Glossop. All other games in both leagues were either postponed on account nts Bill By Jean Randall “No. But I’m going to put this steak in right now!” He suited the action to the word. “I’ve been working like a fiend all day and meat and lettuce?” “These rolls. Pop ’em in the oven to warm while the steak is cooking, Mac——” He said dryly: “You don’t really, Isobel, you just think you do!” She sniffed. “I suppose you call that saving my pride? Well, let me ju, Dion MacKelvey, I'd rath- er be——” HE TOOK her by the elbows and reseated her in the chair. “When you begin calling me Dion, it’s time for desperate measures. Saving your pride — thunder! If you will have your little joke, I’m willing to support you in it; but some day a stranger will overhear you, and take you seriously; and then you'll find yourself engaged to me willy-nilly. Which,” he add- ed firmly, avoiding her eye, “would be a dickens of a note when neither one ‘of us has any- thing more than an_ affectionate concern for the other.” There was a short silence in the kitchen. Then Isobel sighed and arose, “T’d better be g: set, I suppose. Miss coming down?” “Yes. I promised to call her. There’s Eric! Hi, old man!” he called. Eric Mason appeared at the door of the kitchen. He was a tall young man with bright dark eyes and a smart little mustache. He had spent a long day showing empty office suites to prospective tenants, but he looked as immaculate as if he had but that moment tubbed and dressed. He sniffed the broil- ing steak with unmistakable eagerness. “Grenadine back?” . “Does it look like it?” Mac in- dicated the apron he had tied about his waist. “But Isobel here had an inspiration. She brought home some food and dinner’s practically ready. Remember last Parade Day?” “Do I? Peanut butter_sand- wiches and lemon pop. This is something like! I always said, Iso- bel, you have your good points. Anything I can do to help?” .Put four glasses on and fill the pitcher. I’ve already put ice cubes in it.” “Four? How come four? You don’t mean to say that Ade- laide——?” “The new boarder,” Isobel briefly informed him. “Brenda Burnham. She came this after- noon. Mac says she's pretty.” “That so?” Eric put a hand to the knot of his cravat. “Blonde or brunette?” “You'll see for yourself in about two minutes,” Mac replied. “This steak is ready to be eaten right now! How about your running up and asking her to come down, Iso- bel? A woman’s gentle touch, you | know—that sort of thing! I expect the poor girl has the impression she’s got into a madhouse, or some- thing. Adelaide forgot she was coming, the wire her aunt sent is on the hall table unopened, I took | her for an agent. ... How about it, | Isobel?” Isobel moved reluctantly to- | ward the hall. “I call you both to | witness that I hate her with a deadly hatred before I've even seen her! Remember that, Eric, Eric ing the table hatshername feminine proneness to personali- ties!” Left to themselves the two oung men exchanged expression- glances. Then Eric Mason said, She's more than half in earne: about being head over heels where you're concerned, Mac! Better ‘ watch vour sten!” BOWLING SCORES TOURNEY OPENS The blitzkrieg . came to West last night when the ship Lea’s bowling team sank their opponents, the Cheely er Company, in the open- ing battle of the Terrace’s Sum mer Bowling Tournament.

What else besides the} when you begin to lecture onj rt trailer coaches “Rot!” was the careless reply. “Isobel’s a good scout and we're friends; that’s all.” Eric shrugged his shoulders. “Glad she doesn’t elect to show her friendship for me like that! But it’s your lookout, old man!” Adelaide ’THERE was time for no mote. Down the wide hall which bi- | sected the house, the two girls came. Isobel walked a step ahead, defiantly, as though inviting com- parison between her own angular height and Brenda’s dainty round- ness. The newcomer had run a wet comb famous, her silky curls and - had changed her rumpled travel- ing dress for a thin pale pink wash silk. Eric suppressed a low mur- ly of astonishment as he saw er. Dinner, in spite of Isobel’s ob- vious depression d a certain stiffness on Mac’s part, was highly successful. Perhaps to punish Mac, perhaps because she was innately courteous and sweet, Brenda ex- erted every effort to make the oc- casion a gay one. She questioned the other girl about her music, was genuinely interested in her radio work. She lured Eric into telling his funniest stories of im- Possible tenants and those who would like to be tenants. She even spoke gratefully of Mac’s recep- tion of her, and his kindness to a weary traveler. By the time des- | sert—which consisted of fruit and cheese Mac had found in the ice- | box—was served, the four young people were on the most amicable of terms. It was not until breakfast time the next morning that Brenda met her landlady. Tired from her long journey, nevertheless she had wakened early and lay listening to the hum of preparation for a new day which resounded through the big house. 3 After the decorous silence of Aunt Anne’s, there was something heartening about the gay voices which sounded from room to room. “Through with the bathroom, Mason!” she heard Mae call, and soon after there was a rush of wa- ter which indicated Eric was hav- ing a shower. Isobel called down: “Adelaide, darling, did the laundry come home last Saturday? I can’t find my blue linen anywhere!” Delightful odors of coffee and bacon began to drift upstairs. The telephone rang repeatedly. Final- ly, half in despair and half in an eager anticipation which was en- tirely new to her, Brenda arose and dressed. Breakfast was going forward briskly when she reached the din- ing room. Mac and Eric both rose and Mrs. Rosttetor, a plump motherly looking woman, fol- | lowed their example—though | more slowly. : “Brenda, my dear child!” she said warmly. She took the girl into her em- brace quite simply; kissed her, in- deed, as if ties of blood as well as of affection united them. “I was so sorry about yester- day,” she went on, a mist of emo- tion making her blink. “I got all mixed up about the day of your coming, and Anne’s telegram came —Mac said it did!—after Id left the house. I hope he took good care of you? I hope you found every- thing you needed in your room? Sit here, dear!” She resumed her own seat and glanced challengingly about her. “The last of the Burnhams come home!” she announced. “This child’s father and aunt were brought up here—her grandfather built the house itself! I want you | all,” she went on impressively, “to | be thinking of some way we can | mark her return to us. The Street | will want to celebrate it!” BASEBALL GAMES FOR TOMORRO Two games of baseball will be played tomorrow afternoon.
