CHAPTER I
"Guess Dulcie's got another of her
spells!" exclaimed Rod O'Rorke, turn-
ing with smiling eyes to the girl at
his side as the car came to a sudden
stop. "Well, I'll soon fix her," he ad •
-
ded. Then he pulled his long legs from
beneath the wheel and swung himself
over the battered door.
"It's a wonder you wouldn't get a
neia car," Maris Trevor replied, an un-
expected edge in her tones. "This old
. thing's always falling to pieces."
That red-haired giant, Rod, opened
the hood of the car, and then let it fall
as he took a step toward the girl.
"You know why I'm not buying any
new caaa,Maais." There was a hurt
look in his seablue eyes. "You used to
like to help me fix Dulcie."
"Oh, well, a girl gets tired doing
that all the time," Maris replied. Ig-
noring the pleading look in his eyes,
she took out her compact. Calmly, she
powdered her small, straight nose, and
with her lipstick, accentuated the very
lovely outline of, her soft lips.
Trouble Ahead
"What's come ver you, sweet-
heart?" asked Rod. "Don't you love
me any more?" And he imprisoned
her soft hands in his.
"Oh, don't Rod, your hands are dir-
ty!" She quickly pulled hers away.
Rod laughed. "There's only a little
grease on them. You didn't used to
mind a thing like that, nor if you got
your own hands black. I can't under-
stand you, Maris darling."
The girl laughed. "You should," she
answered, and, as her glance met his,
the tenseness in his face relaxed. But
when she added, "Hurry up and fix
the old bus," a troubled look came into
Rod's eyes once more.
He bent over the engine and tinker-
ed with spark plugs and feed Iine. At
this point, a look of annoyance spread
over Maris' fair face while she took a
tiny eyebrow pencil and touched up
her .straight brows so that their dark-
ness accentuated the golden sheen of
her wavy hair. Then with moistened
finger tips. she curled the long dark
lashes that fringed her big, brown
eyes.
Adjusting the tie of her smart print
suit, she slipped her compact into her
handbag and closed it with a sharp
snap. Then her eyes rested on Rod.
Beads of perspiration dotted his
cheeks, while a black streak furrowed
his forehead where his greasy fingers
had pushed back the lock of curly red
hair that persisted in falling across it,
She Loved Him
A frown of annoyance darkened the
girl's face. Why did Rod insist on
hanging onto the old car? He could
afford a new one if only he weren't
so crazy about his radio invention,
that cost him so much.
At first it had been fun going out
with him and.fixing Dulcie when she
became balky. It gave them a chance
to stop and then Rod would take Maris
in his arms, kiss her tenderly, and tell
her of his love.
The girl's eyes softened, as she sat
and watched Rod. She loved hint. She
had loved him from the very first day
she had met him, In spite of his red
hair, or perhaps because of it, he was
a handsome young man. He was tall
and lean, with flashing sea -blue eyes
and tanned cheeks. He herd himself
like a Viking of old, she thought,
In the rapturous days tha,t followed
their first meeting, Maris told him a
thousand times she didn't care if he
hadn't much,money. He had ideas, and
as a radio engineer he would. surely

cash in on them presently. But lately
that wonderful future had seemed so
far away, and now as her eyes rested
on Rod she, saw has no longer with
the adoration she had lavished on him
at first, but rather with'a critical eye.
"There," Rod exclaimed, wiping his
hands on a bit of waste, "guess Dulcie
will make it all right." Sliding his long
legs over the side of the car, he seat-
ed himself once more beside -Maris.
"I hope so," she remarked ungrac-
iously.
"Of course she will," insisted Rod,
with a forced note of gaiety in his
voice. Just then,'after a few coughings
and splutterings, the little car started
to speed along the road as though she
were setting out to win the Derby.
But to all Rod's efforts to get Maris
to talk, the girl was strangely silent,
or gave him quite curt answers. This
was so unlike her usual gay banter,
that at last he slowed up,
Not Being Fair
"Don't you feel good, honey?" he
asked, slipping his arm about her. But
Maris shook herself free.
"You'll crush my dress, Rod. Of
course I'm all right, but I wish to
goodness you'd get a different car."
She tried to laugh lightly as she fin-
ished, but there was a note of annoy-
ance in her voice.
"Is that what's bothering you?"
"Well, isn't that plenty? Cars are
surely cheap enough," she declared,
though deep in her heart she knew
she wasn't being fair. Rod was saving
every penny so that he could perfect
the device he was working on — a
gadge5 which he was sure would bring
him independence.
There was a hint of reproach in his
voice, when he finally` spoke. "I had
thought you understood. Maris. Just
as soon as I manage to get the gadget
finished —"
"You've been saying that for so long
Rod," she interrupted petulantly.
How long did he expect her to wait?
Would he never realize that a new
car now was worth more to her than
the possibility of financial independ-
ence in the future?
Rod looked at her. Then as they
neared Van Cortlandt Park and turned
down the street to the apartment
where Maris lived with her friend
Patsy Desmond, he mumbled thickly,
"There's someone else?"
For a moment Maris was silent.
Maybe it was just as well to let Rod
think that, Maybe if he thought there
was someone else he would get a new
car. But before she could deny it, he
said, "All right. Now I understand,"
and without another word, hurried to
the curb.
"Aren't you coming in?" asked Mar -
is.
Rod laughed. "Not where I'm not
wanted," he said, his blue eyes flash-
ing.
Been Cutting Up
"Oh, well, if that's how you feel,"
answered Maris, suddenly angry.
She entered the house then and
stepped into the elevator. Her cheeks
were flaming. Evidently Rod didn't
love her very n'ruch if he could let her
go like that. Well, she would show
him. She had her pride. Maybe it was
a good thing after all. He had been
so sure of her.
Swiftly in her mind rose the picture.
of another man — dark -eyed, debonair
with swell clothes, a Pierce -Arrow
roadster, oodles of money, everything
a girl would like. His reputation —
well, it wasn't like Rod's — But then,
this man moved in a different stratum
of society.
Her thoughts were swiftly envied.
The door of their apartment had open-
ed and Patsy stood there. •
"Isn't Rod coming up? I've made the
loveliest dinner for him," Patsy an-
nounced. A spot of chocolate icing orn-
amented her flushed cheeks, while
the heat from the kitchen had twisted
her Niue black hair into tiny cork-
screw auris about her heart -shaped
face,
"No," answered Maris shortly, as
she brushed past her.
"You've had a scrap?" she asked.
"Oh, honey, didn't I warn you not to
rouse his Irish? He's one of us and
you must handle him with kidi gloves,
I'm going down to get him," and, suit-
ing her action to her words, She dart-
ed down the hall,
"He'll be gone by now."
"Not if Dulele's cutting up her us
nal capers."
"She's been cutting up all right,"
answered Maris, "rut s'tie's going like
the Royal Scot now, 1 guess. N'ev'er
mind Rod." Thegirl pulled off her soft
hat and crossed the threshold.
"Ile can't be far away. I'll bring him
back with ore," called Patsy es she
hastily pressed the elevator bell once
again.
Five minutes later site re-entered
the apartment. "Well, I guess Rod's
Irish is up all right, Not a sign of ll1xn
anywhere. What did you do to flim?"
she asked her friend as she stood for
a nioinent 3n the doorway.
"Didn't do a thing to hint. But what
is the use of talking?" Maris walked'
toward her dressing table while Pat-
sy returned to the kitchen,
As she stood for a moment before,
the mirror, a tiny frown creased her •
forehead. Smoothing it away, she then
smiled at her reflection in the mirror,
then steeled her heart against any
thoughts of Rod. Picking up her comb
she quickly pulled it through her fair
hair and set the soft euris with ex
pert fingers.
Pat would be likely to lecture iter,
but she'd stick to her point, Rod had'
no right to expect a pretty girl ,like`
her to be satisfied with an old car like
his. There were lots of other young
men who'd be only too glad to have;
the chance to elate her.
Entering the tiny living room„ she
passed through the dining room. Thexi
opening the swinging door into the'
kitchen, she asked, "Anything I can
do to help you?"
"Put the water in the glasses and
get the butter; then we're all set."
"Smells awfully good!" Maris ex-
claimed. "What are we having?":
"Roast duck and all the fixings, It-
is a shams there's only the two of us
after all my work."
"Well, what about the boy friend?
Why. isn't Timmy here?"
"Oh, some trouble in the Bronx, and
of course he was roped into it. That's
the worst of being .connected with a
telephone company's trouble depart-
ment."
"But surely he won't be there all
night. Let's wait for him."
"No use doing that. He won't be
through for hours. Besides, I want to
get back to 'the hotel early because
Mame wants to go to a dance tonight
Why Waste Your Time?
"Seems to me you and Jimniy are
always doing something for soinebody
else. Why don't you ever think of
yourself, Pat?" asked Maris as she got
the butter and water from the ice box.
Pat smiled. 'Well, isn't that what
we're here for?" she answered gaily,
and looking at her; Maris realized why
she had made such a success of her
job as telephone operator at the Van-
guard Hotel. The management was
crazy about her, and she could have
had it lots easier, but she was a bea-
ver for work.
Pat was a slight girl, with laughing
hazel eyes and masses of blue -black
hair, that curled naturally about her
shell-like ears and smooth forehead:
She was engaged to -Jimmy Doyle, rip
Maris had a sneaking idea they were
.-waiting to be married after they knew.
what she, Maris, was going to do.
"It's too bad Rod missed this," said
Pat. "I really got the duck because he
said he was hungry for one."
"Oh, he'll get over that, and lots of
other things!" Maris spoke lightly.
But she could not deceive Patsy,
who exclaimed, "Look here, Maris, I
know it's none of my business, but
since you've been working at Fayson's"
you've been different. Come on, spill
the beans."
"There aren't any to be spilled."
"Sure you're not Interested in some
of their smart salesmen?"
Maris smiled a Mona Lisa smile,
and she crumbled a roll without ans-
wering. Then she glanced up brightly.
"Oh, no!" was all she remarked.
"Seems to me you've been all excit-
ed since you told me young Fayson
had started to work for his dad and
was going to revolutionize the piece
goods business."
"Well, Stanley Fayson's certainly
some bright boy," conceded Maris.
"That's all right, but take it from
ine, a fellow like that isn't going to
waste his time on a stenographer —
not that I'm looking down on your job
— but Maris, why do you waste your
time thinking about him?" she asked.

A rubber "gas bag" for babies is

A spokesman said last week that

30,000,000 gas masks which are being
manufactured at 1' rate of 500,000 a

quantities of 30,000 to municipalities
throughout the country.
The masks, however, will not be de-
Iivered to the inhabitants unless war
becomes imminent. Then, the Home
Office has guaranteed every Briton
will get a gas mask within eight hours.

Do Not Expect
Food in Fills
Professor of Biology Says Day Is
Not Yet Envisaged When All
Nourishment Can Be Taken in
• Pellet
The hope of reaching that advanced
state of nutritional science in which
we will be able to take all the nour-
ishment we require in the form of .a
pill is discounted by Dr, James W. Ma-
yor, professor of biology at Union Col-
lege, The minimum average reouire-
ments, of the human body is 3,000 ca-
lories a day and this energy must be
furnished by food. The number of ca-
lories Might be obtained from a re-
latively small amount of dynamite, but
this material is hardly acceptable to
the body as food. Fats supply approx
imately 9.3 calories per grain and car-
bohydrates and proteins about half
this amount. If all the calories wore
supplied by fats, 323 grams would be
required, or about tis°o-thirds of a
pound. A pound of food can hardly be
made into a single pill. No matter
what other improveinents are made in
diet in the matter of vitamins or the
other factors, we must still meet the
minimum requirements in calories,
says Dr. Mavor, so the story about
man some day taking all his nourish-
ment in the form of a small pill must
remain in the book of fables.

Fruit Discoloration
Checked Chemically
Thiocarbamide Keeps Salad Look.
ing Fresh and Nice for Weeks
The benefits of abstract scientific'
research are utilized in most unex.
pected places. The hostess of an ail
liner told one of the scientists at the
Boyce Thompson Institute, N.Y. for
Plant Research of her difficulty in the
keeping of fruit salad looking nice and
fresh because the apples and peaches
discolored so rapidly.
The scientist recalled an experiment
in plant physiology in which pieces of
plant tissue were placed in the ground
after being treated with various chem.
Teal •ubstances and that one of the
pieces was removed several months
later looking just as white and fresh
as the day it was buried. The sub.
stance with which the piece was treat
ed was thiocarbamide, said Dr. Wil.
liam Crocker, director of the institute
who a few weeks ago received the
gold medal of the American Institute,
Thiocarbamide, he said, is entirely
non-toxic and tasteless, and he exhib
ited several trays of apples that had
been cut for varying periods. Each
batch was divided into two parts, one
that had not been treated, which show.
ed a brown discoloration; and one that
had been treated with—the chemical..
remaining as white as the minute they
were cut.
