SATURDAY, AUGUST 32, 1940 YESTERDAY: Jan’s kitten pchicid Gre rejected, and she quarrels with Derek, calling him a “spineless failure.” At the piano Derek finds himself again. Taking Jan's sketches with him, he leaves Sea Tide. Chapter 27 ‘Serves Us Right’ [JOHNNY and Rose sought Jan out, their faces disturbed and annoyed. “Where's Derek?” Johnny asked. “Gone,” said Jan. “Gone for good.” Rose demanded, her eyes hard and greedy and angry, “Are you absolutely positive, Jan, you never at any time had the slight- est idea of Derek's real identity?” “He never told me and I didn’t bother him to find out. Why?” “Why? Why?” Rose wailed. “You tell her, Johnny.” “Well, it’s like this,” he started, seeming vastly irritated with himself, with Rose and with Jan. “I found out the girl we saw him talking to at the Club was an eastern socialite by the name of Lenore Page. I managed an in- troduction to some people who knew her and got the low down. It seems this Derek of yours is really Derek Knowles. He’s the only son of Gregory Knowles, one of the ten richest financiers in the country, and he’s got millions of his own besides. He was all set to marry Lenore Page, then suddenly changed his mind. He disappeared from New York, turned up out here at Malibu Beach, disappeared again, leav- ing word he’d gone over to watch the map of China change!” “Good heavens!” ranted Rose, “to think I actually lived in the same house for weeks with an honest - to- goodness millionaire and didn’t know it. Oh, I knew there was plenty of phoney about him, but I thought he was a de- pression pauper—strictly no-ac- count. I'll never get over this! | Never!” “And I,” Johnny agonized, “ar- gued and quarreled with him all the time. Why, if I'd treated him right he could have backed me in a swanky night club with a big swing band of my own!” Jan looked at their vexed, dis- appointed faces. She giggled. Laughter started deep inside of her and welled out, peal after peal, helpless laughter, genuine Jaughter. She held her sides and rocked with it, fumbled for a handkerchief and dabbed at her streaming eyes. Johnny glowered, ‘but “Rose caught the infection of Jan’s mirth and smiled widely. “Serves us right,” she declared. “Truth is, | I.never had a chance with him,: anyhow, so why cry?” “Just the same,” Johnny snapped, “I can’t see why it’s so darned funny to Jan. She had to wait on him and feed him and she’s always stewing around about being broke.” “Tll tell you,” she said, .sub- siding. “In the first place your. reaction was terribly silly and most enlightening. In the second plaee Derek asked me only a few days ago if I'd like to have a mil- lion dollars and I told’him to stop teasing me about impossible things!” “That is not laughable,” John- ny asserted. “After all, he cer- tainly owes you plenty for all ou did for him. Maybe he would ve given you a million.” “I wouldn't take it if he did. And he doesn't owe me anything, Johnny. He worked and paid his board. I let him stay here because I liked him and wanted him here. Maybe you'll think twice before you highhat my next roomer!” She started to giggle again and | Johnny fied. ‘She Has What It Takes’ | gece placed her hands on Jan’s shoulders and shook her gent- ‘ly. “Stop it, Jan. I suspect a lot of this is hysteria,” she hazarded | shrewdly. “You're in love with the man, aren't you?” The younger girl bit her lip. “I thought I was, I guess, but no more. My being in love with a millionaire is as ridiculous as— as his being in love with me.” | “That's good,” Rose said brisk- | ly, “because that Lenore Page is | still after him from what I un- derstand, and she certainly has what it takes!” Jan thought miserably, “She! must be the one he told me about | —the one who hurt him so dread- fully. Maybe they made up— maybe she went to New Yorkj with him.” And abruptly all laughter, hysterical or otherwise, left her and she felt wretched be- cause he had gone and more wretched because she'd been such | gla as to fall in love with | The next day, dismantling | Derek's tent on the roof, she} found a folded newspaper photo under the mattress of the army cot. A picture of a slim, beauti+ ful girl in luxurious furs alight- rae a an airplane. It was cap- ioned: Miss Lenore Page, of Boston, New York and Palm Beach, soon to wed Derek Carter Knowles of New York City im what promises to be one of the most colorful and sociall: important weddings of the season. t _Jan knew, when she tore the Picture to bits and flung the pieces over the parapet, that her artist's eye would never forget one curve or line of that exquisite face. Yet, her memory thrust. at her, this is the woman responsible for Derek’s trying to destroy him- self. “Surely he won't give her an- other chance to hurt him?” she thought. “He must have learned something during all these months. Oh, I've got to stop thinking about him, worrying about him. I'll never see him again. I won’t think any more. I won't.” During the next few days she endured a fine tortue which be- came increasingly unbearable. She would wake in the morning anticipating breakfast with him before she remembered he had gone; she would walk on the beach and turn to stare if a tall man appeared in the crowd. Nep- tune would go at night to the trap door and cry as if he mourned, too. She caught herself listening at odd moments for the sound of his step on the walk, on the stairway; for his tuneless whistle. She missed his mocking smile, his teasing deep voice, the way he turned his head, the look of his face when violence and re- penton stirred him to denuncia- i0n. ‘I Don’t Want To Go’ TE fifteenth day of June school let out for the summer months and Norma unwillingly turned to ! packing her clothes. “I really don’t want to go home,” she told Jan. “I don't fit in any more. They make me feel as if I ought to have a home of my own and a husband. Actually, to them, I’m rapidly becoming an old maid schoolteacher!” “Then don’t go home,” Jan said , quickly, a plan taking decisive shape in her small head. “I—I want to go away for awhile, Norma. I think I almost have to go away or give way. You stay here and eare for the house and for Lance and T'll go in town for | | Tigers, Indians In Same Status; Dodgers-Gain As Reds Lost Two To Bees (Special to The Citizen) NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians lost their games uyesterday, the American League lead still re- maining with the former ahead by one game.

Aug. 3.— Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in their game last night. Contest was tied up at l-all in the end of fhe ninth inning, but the next frame saw the Bucs Fush across four runs and the Phillies one. Score was 5 to 2, the Pirates receiving eight hits to 12 for the Phils. St. Louis Browns blanked the Philadelphia Athletics, 5 to 0, in the other night con- test.

Will.you do this for me, Norma?” ‘Td love it.” Enthusiasm warmed ner voice. “I can cook for Lance and do things for him. He's better about her, don’t you think?” “Definitely. He informed me yesterday he’d never seen a wo- man so crazy for money. Oh, darling, if you do this you'll save my life, or at least my mind, what there is left of it! I'll go talk to Lance right away. And Norma,” Jan clasped the other girl's hands affectionately, “will you act upon some terribly well-meant ad- viee?” “What is it? I'll try.” Jan narrowed her eyes criti- cally at Norma’s straight brown hair, parted in the middle and form, giving up but six safeties to the Indians. Al Milnar was the losing hurler. Chicago White Sox retained | their hold on fourth position in the league standings ahead of the Yanks by turning in a neat 10 to 2 win over the Washington Senators. Thornton Lee was the pitching hero of the day with a two-hit performance. Victory marked the 12th for the Sox in the last 15 games. Cincinnati Reds dropped a doubleheader to the Boston Bees yesterday, yet lost only a half- game off their lead to the losing Dodgers. First contest was set- tled early when the Bees jumped on starting pitcher Turner in the coiled in a heavy severe knot on first inning and came up with a the nape of her neck, at the dark- rimmed glasses which hid her lovely eyes, at the sweet, color- less face which never bore a hint of makeup, at the crisp white shirtwaist and sensible tweed skirt and low-heeled walking shoes. i “Try looking frivolous, darl- ing,” Jan advised.
