4 ‘ FRIDAY,, JULY 5, 1940 HIGH TIDE By Frances Han YESTERDAY: While oil-paint- ing on the roof of her house, Jan sees something bobbing out at sea. She take her boat to the res- cue and pulls in a red-haired young man against his will. “Yowll be -sorry for this,” he warns her. Chapter Two Lance “TAKE him =p ‘to the room across from Lance's,” Jan or- dered, throwing open the door. “Better run_over for some brandy while I start coffee.” “Got any rubbing alcohol?” asked the lifeguard. “Lance has. Tell Lanee about it. Pil be up in a minute.” Frank started up the wide oak stairway with its old-fashioned balustrade. “Tl rub him down ‘with alcohol and wrap him up in blankets,” he said. Norma ‘Fulton came into the kitehen. while Jan was measuring coffee into the electric _percolator. “Can I help, Jan? I heard Frank saying something to Lance about your pulling a man out.” Jan explained briefly. She liked this gentle young teacher with the plain -face and neat brown hair who taught in th school a few blocks away and bad roomed here with her and Lance since last -Fall. a “EL patel ge must bestarved,* jan worried, pluggi! e perco- lator .cord -into:a socket. “Would you mind -terribly ing some potatoes into a pot to hoil, Nor- ma? Frank’s off duty and he prob- ably has a date and wants to get away. I'll run up for a look at my victim.” Norma’s eyes twinkled behind shdil-timmed glasses. “Sure you aren’t eaten up by curiosity as to what sort of man you fished out of the ocean?” “Norma, you're too darned in- tuitive!” Jan flashed at her as she scuttled for the stairway. Yet, curious or not,.Jan first at her brother’s door, going soft- ly into the wide room with its many windows looking out over the “beach front. It was a soft, faded, lovely room. “Lanee,” she called to the hack of a wheel chair near a lamp. “I'm sorry, dear, about your din- ner. I'll have it ready in fifteen minutes.” Under the practiced pull of a thin nervous hand, the chair swung around. “It’s quite all right, Jan,” he answered. “I've been so busy I haven’t noticed the time. Isn’t it superb, Jan?” He held uP. a small, exquisitely made airplane modeled .on the lines of a big clipper ship. “It’s done now. It ought to bring a good price.” She went over to him, ruffled his hair and kissed his forehead. “It's lovely, my dear,” she assured him soberly. With ‘tender hands she straightened and adjusted the plaid blanket extending from is waist down over the stiff straight expanse of his legs. His beautiful face twisted. His voice, harsh with restrained an- _ hit out at her. “It’s lovely! quisite! Artistic! To hell with that stuff, I say! I want to fly planes, Jan, not make toys of them!” “I know,” she soothed. “How could you know?” he cried, his anguish torturing her. “How could you know what it is to fy like a bird, free, glorious, then end like this? I'd rather be dead!” inured as she was:to his moods of depression and melancholia, she still winced under them with almost physical pain. “I’m going to‘fry a chicken for dinner,” she said cheerfully. “You love chick- en, Lance. And I went berserk and bought a box of the very first strawberries down at the market this morning so you just get ready for strawberry short- Today's Birthdays U. S.

I rubbed him hard, bundled {him up and poured a big shot of brandy down his throat.” “Did he say anything?” “No. Conscious, though. Jan, he didn’t go in off the beach out here. He must have swum down from quite a ways up the ceast..I didn’t even see him. Think he might have been attempting sui- cide?” “I wouldn’t know,” she said briskly. “Help Lance downstairs, Frank. And if you don’t have a date tonight, stay for dinner. It’s fried chicken and strawberry shortcake.” “V'd~-break-a date for that?’ he inned. “Say, whatsabout clothes for _that bird in: there?” “Til dig up something of Lance's.” “Say, that guy is easily six feet two or three. Lance’s stuff won’t fit him, and neither will mine.” “One worry at a time,” she said, shoving him toward the opposite door. The man looked at her as she came in and the door. Only his head. protruded from the heap of bed covers. His hair, almost dry now, glinted bright copper in the light. His skin, though drained of color from his long soaking, was tanned and lightly freckled. His eyes, black and bitter and Satitic, fascinated her. “Gosh, you're little,” he said. “You must have the strength of an Amazon.” “Tm Jan Merriner,” she said: “How do you ferl now? Better?” “Don’t start asking questions, for I have no intention of telling you anything,” he said. “I didn’t ask to be rescued, but now that I am I shall probably never again find the courage and the proper frame of mind to attempt dying. I’m not the least bit grate- ful to you. I wanted to die. I'm an adult of sane, reasoning mind. I know the difference between right and wrong. I failed to do | what I wished to do with my life and I decided to end it. I do not feel in the least cowardly about it, so kindly refrain from preach- ing.” His voice, spent and tired, dwindled to a whisper. Surprise held her speechless a moment. His voice was cultured, | perfectly controlled; his enuncia- tion was slurring enough to be enchantin; ly, a_gentleman. “You're young and very good looking,” ‘she stated frankly. “Won't someone be searching for you?” “Women and their hateful prob- ing curiosity!” he muttered. “T’ll tell you nothing. I'm only thank- fal. you aren’t beautiful. I couldn’t stand that.” His eyes closed and he turned his head away from her. “Tl bring you some food the minute it’s ready,” she said, and went out. Before going downstairs, she went into length mirror. So he was glad she wasn’t beautiful! Observing her image, she laughed with gen- uine merriment..She did look a mess. Her taffy-colored hair, sun- bleached to varying shades, was ‘SCHOOLGIRL POSSESSES NAVARRO'S CA 39 UNUSUAL TYPES OF He seemed, obvious- | er own bedroom and | looked at herself in the full ne a tousled, riotous mags on her face, innocent any was There were on shapeless white -sweat-shirt ! : i p jarge ically lashed, so ys teeth are above reproach.
