PAGE FOUR IGH TIDE | Deane trartetrtreaiead YESTERDAY: Derek reflects on his unhappy boyhood with his rich, divorced parents. Heir to a huge fortune, he is amused at Jan getting him a job. Later he crit- icizes Jan’s paintings. Jan weeps end he kisses her. Chapter 11 Blunderer iyAN pushed her hair back. Her mouth was stubborn, her eyes determined. “I will not tell him to 0,” she said to Lance. “He’s going to stay here as Jong as I wish to, or he wishes to. This is my affair and you keep out of it. If you don’t, I'll] Wh: never forgive you. I won't listen to you, Lance. I won’t take orders from you.” “Very well.” His tone was curt and cool, withdrawn. “There is lit- tle I can do, I suppose, since you're determined.” Leaving him, her heart felt bursting with rebellion and grief. This was their first quarrel since his accident. This was the first bar- rier to come between them. Yet she could not go back and assure him she would obey his dictates, for she would not, could not, send Derek from this house. After she had gone, Lance fin- Bered absently the little plane with the crumbled wing. He had, he de- cided, behaved with incredible stupidity. Not that there would be ‘an open breach. Oh, no. Jan would s.nile and laugh and they would talk together, but underneath that exterior she would be hiding from him, afreid of him. “You poor, blind, crippled blun- @erer!” he rasped. Wheeling his ‘ch~‘~ to the windows overlooking the ocean, he sat in the encroach- ing shadows of twilight ana played is rusty game of remembering. Of course he, being ten years older than Jan, had been taught ‘very early a responsibility for his small sister. But that sister now carried responsibility for him, and she also had plenty of spirit and temper. He realized abruptly that her @pparent evenness of temper, her soothing tranquillity, were prod- ucts of self-discipline, artificial re- straints built up in consideration of him these last two years. He had too self-centered to stop and wonder at her sudden meekness. He was sick, crippled; he was her brother, she loved him, it was only right she should care for him. So he had thought, subcon- ey » Perhaps, sublimating erself to his needs, she ha turned to painting for release. It was her outlet, her safety valve. Knowing they could not afford a murse or companion for him; knowing she could not leaye him alone; knowing she must forego re pleasures, she had feigned difference to young men, to dancing, to parties, to all the a she should normally crave and have. And now romance in the form of a castaway stranger had come seeking her out. Of course he fascinated her; of course she might fancy herself in love with him. Why wouldn’t she? Still, Jan ‘was practical and level-headed. It wouldn’t amount to anything. He. should have employed more diplomacy, demonstrated a great- er Sian & “Tl apologize to her,” he de- elded. “I can’t have her hiding her life from me.” And now he went on to remem- ber other things. Of how, at twenty-eight, he’d been a fine aviator, a trusted pilot, of how his exuberant young spirits went on leash the moment he stepped into a cockpit and were released only when he stepped out; of the foot money he earned. He paid for Jan’s schooling and living and his life was his own so long as his’ parachute opened. Eyes Of A Dog ‘HERE were girls, lots of girls, always. He had the sort of looks women fancied. Sometimes, fora while, there would be one girl in particular. But they were all alike if they cared for him; they wanted him to stop flying. They never understood. '_ Well, he’d stopped fiying. Rather, flying had stopped him. And now the only girl he saw was & mouse of a little school teacher. “You're all bursting to know how I made out. Well, I stuck it all right, but I don’t like it Your Captain Tupple is a Simon Le- gree, Jan, but this old Uncle Tom took his beating without a yowl!

He held up his hands to show her the rising blisters on the palms. “Anyhow, I’m tired as a dog, if a dog ever gets tired. iy. do people say that? Why should a dog be tired, he never does any work! Happen to have any cream or lotion for my face, | Jan? T'll look like a Mexican vaquero by tomorrow night.” “And what does a Mexican va- quero look like?” Norma asked. “Like an Indian trimmed in sil- ver.” Observing his listeners’ in- terest he expanded under the in- fluence of a well-filled stomach and a steaming cup of coffee. “The vaquero is picturesque, but not | nearly so much so as the street sleepers who sit all day huddled against buildings, benches or trees with a blanket over their shoul- ders, knees drawn up, and a gaudy sombrero over their faces. You see the same ones in the same places every day. If one of them died it wouldn’t be discov- ered for days! It’s different, though, down around Acapulco, Most of the natives, men and wo- men and children, work very hard, keep immaculately clean, and save their pesos.” “You must have traveled quite a bit in Mexico,” Lance com- mented. “I was offered a job once flying the Mexico City airline, but I didn’t take it.” “I spent six months there,” Derek said, then cut himself short as if afraid he’d talked too much. He rose from the table, frowning. “Tm going to bed.” “He’s a queer cuss,” Lance said as the sounds of Derek’s feet died out up above. “I’m beginning to feel the stirrings of curiosity.” Red Flag And Bull Jonny came in, putting an end to speculation. As if by tacit agreement they never men- tioned Derek to Johnny. “It’s like waving a red flag at a bull,” Nor- ma had put it succinctly. “I can get you a swell job,” Johnny told Jan with explosive enthusiasm. “They want a hostess over at the Club and they’ll pay good money. Fix yourself up ani Tll take you over for an inter- view.” She looked at Lance, who shook his head. “Thanks, Johnny,” he said stiffly, “but we don’t need miey that ae = ai “There’s nothing isgrace: about it,” Johnny argued. “All a has to do is meet people nes “No,” Lance cut in. “She’s too want her mixing with that arti- ficial bunch of rich picture people from Hollywood.” Johnny looked so crestfallen, so injured, that Jan said, “It was sweet to think of me, but Lance is right, Johnny. I’m definitely not the type they’d want. I'd have stage fright and jitter all over the place. Besides, I have no suit- able clothes and no way of get- ting any.” “You are the type,” he insisted. “That is, = could be, if you have your hair done by an expert and your face—” a eae ee alone Lance oe ered, his thin hands gripping the ruber tires of his fies aaa: worn face flushed with annoy- ance. “She’s fine just the way she is. I don’t want her made into a is no reason she—” the anger died suddenly from his voice and he seemed to shrink into his shel] ot meager. flesh. “Do as you please, Jan,” he ended. “I wouldn’t consider it for a moment,” she i the en- tire matter. The brief scene distressed both her and Norma, for they knew such a swift ascent of emotion might keep Lance sleepless for hours. Norma, driven m her usual placidity by concern for him, an- nounced young. She isn’t the type. I don’t | __NOTES OF TODAY _ Finish Church Work David Panzione and M.
