SESDAY, JULY 10, i940 HIGH TIDE YESTERDAY: Jan puts Johnny in his place, She is pleased when + Lance finds Derek a good listen- er, although “too close-mouthed” about himself. Chapter Six No Work No Eat ‘OU asked Derek not to tell me about his suicide attempt?” repeated Lance. “Because of my reaction? Don’t be a silly goose, Sis. In my opinion it takes a lot more ‘courage to live than die. I told him so, but he didn’t agree. Please. honey, don’t ever let any- thing like that worry you. 1 know when I get those fits of depres- sion I say I'd rather be dead, but I don’t mean it. Not so long as I have you. I guess I just have to let off steam when the pressure gets too high.” She dropped to her knees be- side his chair and laid her cheek against his hand. “He wants to stay here with us, Lance. I’ve gota idea I can do some- thing foe readjust him, some- how. Have I a crusader’s complex, do you think?” “A too developed maternal com- plex, I'd say. You always did drag in stray cats and pups when you were a little kid. Mother used to have a fit, but Dad always made up excuses for you.” “It seems like more than four years since—” “I’m glad they went before this happened to me. It would have hurt them so.” She sensed his withdrawal from the pain of re- membering. He went on: “It doesn’t seem very provident to keep the fellow here, Jan. We have so little as it is and we've talked of taking in another roomer this summer.” “Lance, will it be all right if I promise to make him useful?” she pleaded. “I—I'll try to make him a paying proposition, if I can. There’s jobs to be had around here with summer coming on: Maybe Captain Tupple will take him on one of his fishing barges.” Lance pases her wind-tumbled hair. “All right, baby, if it'll make you happy to have a stray man to fret over.” “Johnny was so mean about it this morning,” she said in a little- girl voice against the woolly blanket. “He suspects Derek of everything from larceny to may-| d hem.” “Well, I: hope Johnny isn’t right,” Lance sighed. She looked up, defiance in her deep blue eyes. “You don’t think he’s a criminal, Lance?” “I don’t know anything to think, Jan. But your man had bet- ter make good or Johnny and I} will both annihilate him!” Put on the defensive she de- liberately submerged any doubts she herself had. “He’s a fine per- son,” she declared. “I'll prove it to you. Wait and see.” She stirred to action. She would find Derek and tell him he had to get a job right away. But Derek was nowhere in the house, she found. He must have gone for a walk, and here she was in a mood to talk to him without mincing words, Later she might not be, her moods were so evanescent. Disturbed, nervous, not nearly so sure as she'd tried to make Lance believe, she sought. the grand piano and the soothing touch of its keys. Although she did not practice enough to play really well, her fingers were light and facile and drew comfort for her from the classics she loved. In the semi-dusk of the familiar, friend- ly living room she dropped to the piano “bench and let her fingers drift into the sad beauty of Schu- bert’s Serenade. Smooth Mask ENB4°T, singing the words soft- lyto herself, she didn’t hear the door open nor did she see Derek come in. When the last tone sighed into silence she looked up and saw him. The expression on his face startled her, hurt her in some vague manner she could-not com- prehend: It was an e: ssion of torment. of agonizi: rustration. Then a smooth, blank mask cov- ered it and she felt as if, for a fleeting moment, she had been Permitted to look into his soul. “Derek,” she began, “I have something to say to you—” But he fied upstairs with the ongec step of a man pursued y ghosts, leaving her alone with the echo of Schubert. Jan emptied the contents of her coin purse on the kitchen table. Eighty-nine cents and two three- cent stamps. “And four people to feed.” she wailed softly to her- self. “Johnny’s rent is due to- morrow, but that doesn’t help out tonight. And I ought. to get Derek a razor and toothbrush and comb. I suppose I could bor- Tow money from Norma if she at home in time, but I-hate to io that. I guess I'll make a meat loaf. Hamburger’s cheap enough.” Lifting her old black sweater from ‘the hook on the_kitchen door,.she mumbled to Neptune. “Thirty-five cents 11 10 do it. ter, bread and coffee. Oh, yes, and a can of peaches for dessert. 1 wonder why he looked like that and why did he run away? Is my playing as bad as al) that?” Frank had his big fist lifted to knock as she pole open the front door. A delighted grin creased his broad face. “I’m bringing pay for last night’s feast,” he said, extend- ing a newspaper-wrapped bundle to her. “Yellow tail, and a big] one!” “I could hug you for this,” Jan cried. “I’m down to hamburger tonight. Frank, this is grand. Lance loves fish—want to eat with us?” “Wish | could, but I have to Play watchman tonight. If you think of it, you might send a cup of coffee over to the station about ten. Guess I'll run up and see Lance a minute, I think I’ve got a buyer for the clipper ship he just finished. Say, I almost forgot to ask, how’s that bird you pulled out yesterday?” “Hale and hearty, 1 guess. At least he eats as if he were. Frank, you don’t happen to know. of some kind of job for him, do you?” “Job?” Frank rubbed his brown jaw thoughtfully. “Does that mean he’s going to hang around here awhile?” “So he says.” “Now, listen, Jan, if you don’t want him around just say the word.” “I want him around if he works,” she put in hastily. “I need money. I thought maybe Cap Tupple?” “That old grouch. He’d love to mistake me for a tuna and stick a harpoon in me! Trouble with him is he’s griped because he has to run fishing barges instead of liners. He ain’t fit for anything but a barge, if you ask me!” Heart Of Gold ay started kitchenward with the fish. “He’s all right, Frank. Tl ask him about a Derek.” Frank, following her, declared: “You don’t know bad people from good, Jan. You think everyone has a heart of solid gold!” She laughed merrily. “I’m not quite that stupid, old dear. Most People aren’t really bad, though, if you take pains to know them. Run up to Lance now, will you? A prospective purchaser for the clipper ought to chirk him up for inner.” A grateful warmth put a smile on her lips as she heard Frank call out to Lance. Frank was so good. He had been Chief Life- guard at Sea Tide for five years, ever since old Peter Merriner had bought this house as haven for his years of retirement. Lance and Frank had hit it off from first ac- quaintance. Jan remembered what a joke it had been to every- one at the beach when Frank and job for Lance took turns entertaining each other on their days off by alternating flying trips and fish- ing trips. It was Frank who had kept un- ceasing watch over Lance two years ago in the hospital; Frank who had kept the plane factory conscious of their duty to Lance; Frank who had forced them to bring in specialists so his friend might have a chance to fly again. And now it was Frank who came every night without fail to carry Lance downstairs for dinner and up again; to make him chuckle over the mishaps and adventures of a lifeguard’s day. Sometimes, when the day was hot and not too windy, he took Lance in the wheelchair out on the beach front. Frank had enough medals to cover his great barrel chest, should he ever choose to wear them. He had saved, literally, hundreds of lives. He insisted, chuckling, pulling at his old black pipe, he would write a | book about it some day and give the world the lowdown on human nature. Gratitude, he contended, was an artificial emotion of civili- zation. People, generally, were ungrateful. Few of them ever bothered even to thank him for saving their lives. Jan often argued this with him. “Gratitude!” she’d scoff. “My goodness, Frank, they’re scared half out of their wits and can’t even think!” At the market Jan spent five cents for carrots and five for let- tuce, then emerged triumphantly from the fifteen-cent store with a razor, comb and toothbrush. still | the thrifty possessor of two dimes. She found Derek and Norma in- specting the fish when she arrived home. “I see you two are ac- quainted,” she smiled, tossing her sweater on the hook with prac- ticed ease. Norma shook her head. “I think ‘ he’s quite hopeless, Jan. He just asked me if fish always looked like this before it was cooked! He admitted never seeing a. raw fish Teady for the frying pan.” “Never had a fishing pole in my hands,” he stated cheerfully. Jan groaned, “And I'm p! to get you a job on a fishing | barge!” “Job? What if I don’t choose to work?” “I won't choose to feed you.” To be continued. Tae PLAYERS JOINING THEIR TEAMS FOLLOWING ALL- STAR GAME YESTERDAY: McKECHNIE PRAISED (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, July 10.—Major league baseball teams are pre- paring to resume regular play tomorrow as players are. enroute to their various clubs following Participation in the eighth an- nual All-Star game yesterday at | St. Louis. No games were sched- uled for today. National Leaguers were loud in’ their praise today of Bill “Mc- Kechnie in leading players of the senior circuit to the first ‘shut- out victory of maneuvering his pitchers to hold the American League sluggers to the lowest number of hits ever recorded since the “dream game” inauguration eight years ago. Paul Derringer, for the Nationals and received credit for the 4 to 0 win, allowed one hit, the double by Luke Ap- pling that brought grief to Max West, home-run hero of the con- test. Bucky Walters was next in the box and he did not allow a hit or run during his two-inning asssignment. Whitlow Wyatt, who followed Walters on the mound, gave up a single in his two innings, Buck Newsom se- curing the safety. Luke Appling collected another hit in the. sev- enth inning, his off Larry French. | And that was all the Americans got for the day. Carl Hubbell twirled one inning for the Na- tionals and gave up narry a hit. Only one error was committed in the game, that by Rollie Hems- lley in the eighth inning that fig- ured in the fourth run scored ,by the Nationals. Rollie failed to back up a throw from the out- field which allowed Danning to go from first to second. | Three American pitchers gave up seven safeties. Ruffing, who was charged with the defeat, ac- counted for four jblows. Newsom and Bob Feller did the rest of the mound duty. President Varela has called .a meeting of all managers in, the National and American Softball Leagues of Key West for tonight at 8 o'clock in the City Hall. Managers and league officials are urgently requested to be present as matters of importance will be discussed.
