JULY 30, 1 HIGH TIDE by irantestianna | YESTERDAY: Lance insists bitterly that they sell the house, do anything, to get money for an operation on his legs. His mood casts a shadow over Jan's date with Derek, Night Of Surprises Chapter 23 ‘THEY danced twelve times at! the big ballroom, gulped strawberry ice cream sodas, and walked the length of the pier again to cool off. “T’ve never had such fun in my life!” Jan gasped. “I’ve al- ways wanted to do ‘his.” “Then why haven’t you?” “Never had anybody to do it with, nor enough money.” He jingled some coius in his Pocket, drew them out and counted. “We've a dollar left. What shall we do with it?” “Listen,” she breathed. Near the place where Jan kept her own little boat a man was bawling through a speaker: “Take a moonlit ride on the ocean, folks! A moonlit ride over the waves in a big speed boat! Right this way, folks, only fifty cents.” “Shall. we?” sounds divine.” Hand in hand they ran down the steps to the float below, slipped into the transparent slickers handed them and stepped into a wide, leather-cushioned seat. The, forty-foot boat_filled a few minutes later and. cast off. It darted around the breakwater’s formidable rocks and. headed for the open sea, leaving: a wake of lacy foam behind it. Jan snuggled closer to Derek, tingling to her fingertips with happiness as his/| hard arm held her tightly. She adored silently as he raised his dark, arrogant face to the wind and the salt spray. “If we could go on and on like she asked. this,” she thought, her imagina- |‘ tion humming. “We could be traveling to a palatial yacht an- chored miles out, waiting to carry us off to the Mediterranean Sea— together forever and forever!” Then the cold water of reason drenched her, chilling her. To- gether — forever? Is that what she wanted? Yi She loved this man beside her. A deep and blissful emotion took hold of her, filling her, bringing awareness of Derek be- side her and she was glad of the darkness. The boat made a wide circle and turned back. Derek looked down at her parted lips and dreaming eyes and_ chuckled. | “You look like Alice in Wonder- land must have looked when she adventured through the looking | Blass,” he teased lightly. “Having | a good time?” “Just happ: che said, won- dering if he would appear gay if he knew a very foolish girl had just given him her heart. But} he didn’t know, she thought, nor} would she ever tell him unless} he should—but that was unlikely. | “qr |S saw that-one of-his violent moods was upon him, What had this wo= man done to him? She pondered, her bright new love suffering its first deep wound. How he must have cared to be so hurt! What was the girl doing here? Had she happened to come to Sea Tide for an evening’s lark or was she stay- ing some place nearby? Did she know Derek was supposedly in China? Derek was wondering the same things, Lenore Page was here. If she had bothered to look him up at all she would have been told he left_several weeks ago for China. What in the world was she doing in Los Angeles? It was hard to picture her away from her eastern setting. Did meeting: her. tonight spell the end of this cherished second life of-: his? Would she tell of seeing him and would someone be sufficiently in- terested to set detectives on his trail? Lenore herself might, pro- viding she had-abandoned Ron- nie and had found no other ideal- istic fool like himself to turn about her finger: Suddenly conscious of Jan be- side him, almost running to keep: up with his angry strides, he said, “I’m sorry to behave like his, puss. I was startled, I guess, and ducked like a criminal. 1 don’t want to see her. Jan, and I can’t talk about her.” “Some. day.” she_ predicted, sadness flowing all through her like a river at flood, “some day you'll have.to go back to your world and. your own people and leave mine “Some day. Not yet.” “I want you, to return in tri- umph,” she urged. “Sure of your- self. of your ability to stand on your own feet and take what life hands out on the chin! Why do you think God gave you a big, strong jaw?” fool people.” he joked ‘I Hate You’ D/SREGARDING this, she went on. “You must try again to compose, Derek! Your creative nt has lain fallow a long time now. I believe most of your ouble is resentment against so- . judging from the little you've told me. In self-defence, to keep from being hurt by a world you couldn’t adjust your- self to, you’ve erected such a thick, hard wall about your emo- tions you can’t break through it all at once. Please, begin tomor- row to play some each day until you get back the feel of the keys, Please, Derek, promise me you'll try?” “T can’t promise. Anyhow, your reasoning is uncanny. think you've hit on something, Miss Freud! Say, what's going on at your house? Look. every Hight in the place is burning!” Startled, she looked ahead, then broke into a run, digging in hurried up the walk to the front door. Trembling, she fitted the What matter?

Two From Contest (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, July 30.—Brook+ lyn Dodgers gained a full game on the Cincinnati Reds yesterday by defeating the Pittsburgh Pi- rates, while the New York Giants were downing the Redlegs. Victory margin was narrow for the Dodgers, the score reading, 7 to 6. All of the Bucs’ runs were scored in the ninth inning to tie the count at that point. In their half of the inning, Dodgers went to victory as Pete Coscarart sin- gled with two men on base. Con- test was hard-played, the Pirates using 21 men in an effort to win. In the final frame, a fist fight de+ veloped between Arky Vaughan and Babe Phelps. Both were ejected from the game. Cincinnati Reds fell before”the New York Giants, 4 to 3. Reds led 3 to 0 up to the sixth iinning, but from that point on the Giants pecked away at the lead and got a run in each of the last four in- nings to bring the triumph. Carl Hubbell was the twirling hero of the day, but was denied credit for the victory as he departed from the game when his team was behind. Chicago Cubs defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 7 to 3. Win- ning margin came’ in the seventh inning when the Chicagoans pushed across four runs. Three Philly pitchers worked in vain to gain victory. Claude Passeau was the triumphant moundsman. St. Louis Cardinals banged out an 8 to 3 win over the Bos- ton Bees. Johnny Mize led the hitting for the day with a single, a double and a triple, knocking home half of his team’s runs. Only one game was played in the junior circuit and it develop- ed into another of those jinx Philadelphia-Detroit affairs. The Tigers have performed remark- ably sad against the A’s this sea- son. They dropped yesterday’s game, 9 to 7, despite Hank Green- berg’s 20th homer of the year and Rudy York’s 16th. Tigers’ lead was cut to one game. Results of the games: NATIONAL LEAGUE At New York R.
