FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1940 YESTERDAY: Jan is furious at Derek for exhibiting her paint- ings, and Derek realizes he has pulled a boner: Derek reflects on his past, on Lenore Page who hounded him for his money. The Merriners still know nothing about him, Chapter 20 ‘I’m Sorry, Dear’ 'HE door of Jan’s room was still closed. He could, he mused, give her a million dollars. What would happen to this household if he did? The contem- plation of the change put a scorn- ful smile on his too vulnerable mouth. Lance would buy Rose Cornwall. Rose would cheat. Jan would suffer for her brother. As if in a mirror he saw what the burden of riches might do to these people. Let alone, each would work out his own salvation his own way. If Jan had any cre- ative ability at all, and he thought she did have, it would come out eventually and give her at least fair recognition as an artist. Lance, handicapped, would get over Rose, who would drift away with some man or other. Norma, in all probability, would one day marry Lance. As for Johnny, who cared? Yes, Derek Knowles would re-|keg of dynamite around this!of the A’s and one Lee Ross, main in China a while longer. Perhaps he might never return. He sat down at the piano and picked out the refrain of a popu- lar, sentimental song. To the devil with yesterday! He was learning jstanding, Jan put it down to emotion. But Derek knew that in this moment he’d made himself an jenemy who would injure: him: if |she could. | Rose nodded briefly to Jan and | Pan up to her room.

He went upstairs, intend- | ing to drop in on Lance, but out~ side of Lance’s door he heard Rose’s voice. | “Hang her!” he muttered. “Jan ought to get rid of her. She's a house.” With a shrug he climbed the |ladder to the roof, glad of the | cold. salt wind that smacked his: | body, glad of this.galitude. |.

Sox,. who now are only 'a game ahead of the New York Yankees. Chicago is steaming forward just two games away. from a tie for third place. Bos- torr collected three home runs but Host the game, 6 to 4. Yankees came out on the long end of a walloping, free-hitting score with the St. Louis Browns, 13 to 8. Red Ruffing was the lone Yank pitcher, but he was touched for 12 bingles. The 16 hits amassed by the New York- ers netted a baker’s dozen of jruns to eight for the Brownies. In the National League, the Boston Bees fell before the Chi- cago Cubs yesterday, 8 to 4. Bees executed the first triple- {killing in the senior circuit this lseason in‘the eighth inning—too late; however, to affect the score. A late Bee rally chased Big Bill ‘Lee-from the mound and brought the veteran Charlie Root on the scene. Root proceeded to hold the |Bees in check. New York Giants ran into hard luck with a 2 to 1 loss at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pi-| rates. Hal Schumacher gave up jonly six hits but his teammates couldn’t bunch any of their nine safeties to get more than one run for the day, the game end ing 2 to 1. Deciding marker for the Bucs came in the ninth in- |ning without the aid of a safe hit. Bases were loaded on a | walk, a sacrifice, an error and an intentional pass.
