ESTERDAY: Eileen Gardner finally broken with Jordan ill. Jordan had assumed that would. marry him, and so she. But a stranger named tin has come and gone, and him has gone Eileen’s heart. she is taking a job with the gands, whorun a small and ely solvent radio station 150 es away from the city, and ing a long ‘chance at.a career ell. Besides — Martin might ir her sing. Chapter Seven New Job 'HE battered Weigand car| bounced over the desert road tween Denver and Piute, the] little town where the Weigands’| Station flourished. It held a pair| of Weigands, their small casual Suitcase and” a large case of records, Eileen and. her two large suitcases. It was all fun. It was| poss gypsy, cheerful, out of the} “1 packed a luncheon,” Mrs. | Weigand said simply, poking her wind-tousled, gray-black head, still bound by the gold candy- ribbon, over the back of the seat. Eileen had been rather amused by, the. fuss made over her. “You must sit with the Treat.” Mrs Weigand had beamed. “That's what we always call Mr. Wei- gand. Don’t we, Jimmy darling?” Jimmy. darling, shy, spectacled, | and silent as ever, had made an| embarrassed noise, Eileen supposed he scarcely knew whether it was she or his} wife sitting there; indeed he| automatically reached out for her | hand to hold and looked extra- embarrassed when Eileen} laughed and took her own away.| “We save every penny we can} for the station expenses” Mrs Weigand went on earnestly. Full- | bosomed heavy-faced her prom- inent brown eyes bright under! the straight bang and its fillet, a green sweater incongruously pulled over a black georgette which still betrayed its concert origin, she had Art Movement written all over her. One could imagine her running any sort of a thing from a Pullman dining service to barefoot dancing. The car was pulled up along- side the white, dusty road, and everybody ate thick, buttered sandwiches made of ham slices and baker’s bread, with pop and a thermos full of sugared, lightly creamed coffer, “We're really a sort of family,” she told E‘:een cheerfully, brush- | ing crumbs off the heavy ter- races of beads that rode on her ample breast. “All for one and| one for all, I think you'll love it.” “I know I shall,” Eileen said} sincerely. She had heard of the place, where they lived. It had started life as an art colony. Then the colony had failed, faded out. But} the delightful adobe cottages, sright-cofored, with their central dining hall whié: was now the radio station, the swimming pool | which was filled by industrious souls with a hose when you wanted to swim, were still there, and the Weigands had rented it from the directors for a, song. People came and went. Not all were radio performers. Mts. Wei- | gand kept boarders in a sketchy | sort of way; her energy. was. ap- | parently infinite. “One of these days,” she said) earnestly, “our station is going to be one of the big national chains. Already we have prospects of a couple of new hookups, and one of the Eastern stations is deeply interested in some of our record- ings. You will never regret this 'o Eileen, used to Western dis- tances, a hundred and fifty miles was not a long stretch from} home. It occurred to her that it was a pity she had no car of her own. But there would be people at Piute Station who had cars, she recalled comfortably. Sunset brought them to the sta- tion; to a delightful group of bright-colored huts with.their low found hall in its center. The bat- ed cat drove up to the line of ttle cottages. “Isn't it lovely here?” Mrs. Veigand said enthusiastically, “I iiways tell people that the great} hing about Piute Colony is the ace—" No Peace ‘HE door of the cottage they were passing was flung open/ angry girl} Dlently. and a tall, e out. ‘All right, then, But I won't in this cottage one minute er— And sure I see no reason why should,” said the stocky, red-| ked git! behind her, hands urdy hips. “I’ m not too mad} your company.” irls, girls, what’s the mat- demanded Mrs. Weigand, out with all her i said the tall arply, “that I have been | yoom with a girl whose used’ to wash for mine! hile I bel in democ- draw the line— SMe Haths oftener than} notice,” interrupted the iheeked’ girl viciously ou're so off the washin matter is,” or the “ae pinly I am,” Arline said. ation and the program ink about me.” Her black} d back at Molly, who ng, merely stood still ation ds on her hips, an/ desime to spring, | cheerfully, “Molly, what is this,” “Just what Miss Carson says,” Molly answered. “It’s the facts.

And it-was with washing that she gave. me the education tosupport herself, And Miss Carson’s mother, being | well known for the sort of wo- man. that never, lifted, a. finger could, she hire it doné, also in Piute, Mary Flanagan it seems washed. for her—and, very, well, Tl be bound.

Mrs. Weigand seemed. appalled. , | “Girls, girls — you mustn’t, you can’t. You're ruining every- thing. Miss. Carson, Miss Flana- gan—you know I haven’t any other, places to put you—I'm putting Miss Gardner.here in the only other vacant cottage. Eileen took pity on her. She seemed completely at sea, though why she could not think. She laughed, “Here, what about me for a roommate, Miss Flanagan. Then Miss Carson can have the place I was going to have.” “If you don’t mind—that would straighten out everything,” Mrs. Weigand said, snapping at it eagerly. She seemed to want to propitiate both girls. “If, you’re sure you don’t mind, Miss Gard- ner. “why should I?” Wileen said. She liked Molly's look Mr. Weigand, who ‘had sat mousily quiet, now emerged quickly with Eileen’s suitcases, }and carried them in hurriedly before anybody could change her mind, “That suits me,” Arline Carson |said. She whisked in, Molly. fol- | lowing, Eileen, amused, sat down on the edge of the tiny adobe |porch. She could hear the girls’ voices, still angry, as Arline made quick work of her packing. “Allright,” she said presently and Mr. Weigand was in and. out with them. They were piled. on the back seat of the ear where Eileen’s had been, and the. car chugged off. About Molly es a little puzzled: at. it all, went in. The cottages were tiny things. Each was a suite, rather than a cottage; a bi |toom with two couch beds, wit la tiny. bathroom chaning. OF off. it; and on the other side a kitchen- ette, Molly Flanagan turned: her head from where she knelt as Kileen entered. “You're a good sport,” she. said, Eileen laughed. “Arline Carson | seemed so funny,” she said. “I | thought they were only like that | in_old-fashioned. novels.” Molly sat back on her haunch- smoothing her green slacks down. “To tell you the truth, after working in New York, where. the girl at the counter with me was |driven to work by her father’s chaufeur, the town of Piute gave me a jar, too,” Molly said. “But it’s like that.” “Where is it?” “Piute? About three miles off the colony here. The Carsons and the Flanagans came there to- gether, but owing to my. old man drinkin’ instead of cheatin’ at groceries, the Carsons now are the leaders of society, while my. mother lives with my brother Dennis, who just about keeps a roof over his head with the gas station. You can still leave me. I hear you're a college girl, with honors and elegant prospects and. what not.” Eileen came over and dropped |down by Molly and hugged her. | “Leave you? Not uhless you }throw me out. I like you. And. |I want to hear all the dirt while. 1 unpack. Why was Mrs. Weigand so upset? Surely she could, re- place Arline.” “Or me? Not a one of us.” “I don't understand.” “It's this way. Things. wi S.. slack at the office wh ‘ And I hadn't seen the since I hitch-hiked back the }city with me business-school di- }ploma and a willin’ heart, thrée |years ago.

Well, we can’t offend her. She doesn’t get. paid at all.” Eileen, hanging up her dresses the frowned. ‘What does Mrs. Weigand do it And—and is it succeeding?” Molly shut the last drawer and sat on the broa seat, lighting herself a cigarette. “What for? Well, she’s just one. of those women who has to be runnin’ somethin’ that makes g) jnoise, and so people can sai pee wonderful and unselfish!

In the three ;games, Brooklyn. has been allow- {ed only two earned. runs. | St. Louis Cardinals failed to take advantage of the Dodger {loss. ‘Tackling the lowly Phila- ‘delphia. Phillies, the Redbirds were nosed 6-4 in, 11 innings. |Going into. the sixth, Cards. were | leading 4-0. A pinch hitter, Geo. | Jumonville, blasted a homer for j Philadelphia’s first. score and the | Phils kept pecking away. | New York Giants again fell ivictims to the Pittsburgh Pi- jrates, 7-5.

Cleveland’s Indians other game off. their American league lead, While. the Tribe ! was succumbing to the. Philadel- phia Athletics 6-5, Chicago White Sox crept a game closer. by de- feating the Washington Senators 5-2. A’s scored all their runs in the ifirst six. innings. Indians, who marked up two in the fourth, ral- lied in the seventh but were held to three runs.
