The Huron Expositor, 1950-03-10, Page 7ret 7^' CHAPTER X Aunt Clayton takes a job on -the Courier, , despite the op- position of its editor, Tracy Driscoll, who wants another woman reporter. But, under the terms of a' contract, a 'Clayton could work on the pa-. per • if he or she chose. When Ann enters into a make-be- lieve engagement with Dr. Lyn Frazier, Tracy tells her he is going to stop the mar- riage. Ann tells him she is quitting the paper, but Tracy refuses to accept her resigna- tion, saying that under the eontract she Faust give a month's notice. Tracy now declares his love for Ann, but says he cannot . marry her. "Why can't you, darling?" Ann asks. Then Tracy tells how the is under obligations to - Lissa Marven, another em- ployee of the paper. Julie Bar- ton telephones Ann to come and see her -at the point of a pistol -that she -Ann -is not going to marry Dr. Frazier. Frightened, Ann breaks off her engagement. Lissa asks Ann to lunch with her at the Mag- nolia Room, and Ann accepts. Sarah stroked her soft hair for -a moment and then she asked sternly, "You are 'terribly' in love with Mr. Driscoll, and Yet you were going to marry Lyn?" Ann said" unsteadily, "Lyn - knew I didn't love him -abut -he didn't -m -m -mind. He didn't know 1 was in love with T -Tracy, of course, b -but he said -I'd -learn to love him-" THE McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE • INSURANCE CO'Y. HEAD OFFICE-SEAFORTH, Ont. "Then ,he's not onlyea fool, he's a double -starred ilio snapped Sarah. Sarah studied her anxiously, and then she rose and. drew Ann up with her and said briskly, "Go up- stairs to bed and to sleep." "I -don't feel as if I'd ever sleep again," said Ann huskily. "Now, don't you : go dramatic on me, my good girl," protested Sarah sternly. "You'll drink a glass of hbt milk with a. sedative in it and you'll sleep like a baby and in the morning_ things will look better. One of the most valuable things I've learned in my seventy years of living is that things never look ,quite so dark after a good eight's bleep. Up with you.now, and scoot! I'll bring you the hot milk!" It was a few night later that Ann was alone in the living -room. Sarah was dining somewhere and helping withplans for a Bond Rally, and the servants had long ago gone to bed. The hour was close to eleven and Ann was lis- tening subconsciously for Sarah, as she herself sat curled up in a deep chair beside an open window. She had not heard a car in the drive, but suddenly there was a gentle knock at the open window beside which she sat, and she jerked to her feet in sharp alarm, just as a voice that would always tug at her .heartstrings said quick- ly, uickly, "Don't be frightened, Ann -it's only nae!" I'm looking for room and board for a pal of mine." Tracy went on quickly, indicating a little dog. "Come around to the door, Tracy -we'll find him something to eat," said. Ann, and felt a little warm rush of tenderness at the thought of Tracy's gentleness and: kindness. to all small and defenseless things. She was standing at the front door, holding it open when Tracy reached it. As he stepped across the threshold, he looked down at u the anxious -eyed p pp� and said confidentially, "We're in, pal - we're in! I think this is your new home!" There was milk in the icebox and Ann warmed it a little before she filled a bowl and put it down on Martha's shining clean lino- leum. "Poor little scrap!" she said as she watched the starving puppy eat- `"Where did you 'find him?" "In a vacant lot down the street, where some person 'too kind- hearted' to kill a dog tossed him out to starve," said Tracy grimly. "Ordinarily„ I'd have staked him to a hamburger and let him alone; OFFICERS: President, E. J. Trewartha, Clinton Vice -Pres. - J. L. Malone, Seaforth Manager and Sec.-Treas. - M. A. Reid, Seaforth.

I bet hie mother's worried to death about him - that is, ;f she's alive and hasn't been tossed out to starve too." t . After awhile the puppy could eat no more. Ann bent swiftly and gathered the small, cringing body into her arms and held 'him close, and looked at Tracy across the small body that was quivering now with delight. "He's very • -becoming to you," Tracy told her •midly and lit a cigarette with a hand that shook just a little. "Thanks for feeding him -I guess- he and I had better get going-." • "He's going nowhere - why should he? He's at home!" Ann said firmly. Tracy studied her for a moment, a gleam of tenderness in his eyes, but a hint of warm laughter in his voice as he said mildly, "I'm afraid to bet he's got fleas." "So what?" Ann said serenely, playing with the puppy's floppy, satiny ,ears. Tracy said quietly, "You're a very swell person, Ann Clayton!" Ann gave him a soft glance that flickered away before he could be quite sure it had been there at all, and she said lightly, "Well, but, of course - are you just finding that out?" "I've been suspecting it for quite a time!" Tracy told her levelly. Ann looked up at hi•m for just a moment. He made an involun- tary step towards her, caught him- self and said, his voice not quite even, "We'd better clear away the remains of the pup's feast, or your cook will hate him!" "How right you are!" said Ann, in a tone that tried hard to match his. On Sunday morningthe news- papers carried, the story of the an- nouncement of the Board of Dire; - tors of the beautiful new Chil- dren's Hospital, that Dr. Marilyn Frazier, brilliant young gynecolo- gist, had been appointed as Head of the Staff and would assume hit duties on the first of the month, two days hence. Ann, reading the account, smil- ed rather wryjy. So Lyn had se- cured his- precious appointment, and now she, Ann, was quite free of him. On Monday at the office Tracy merely greeted her as he greeted the other reporters; he was as brllsque and as hard to please as always; but there was a look in his eyes, atunguarded moments, that made Ann's heart sit up on its haunches and whimper like a starving puppy. It seemed so cruel, such a wicked waste, that they should have to deny their hearts and their loves, just because Lissa had helped Tracy over some rough places in his life. But she told her-, self quite honestly that Tracy would not ,..have "seen Tracy if he had not felt that obligation keen- ly, and its claim on him. She was going out to lunch one day when. Lissa fell into step' be- side her, looking cool and serene in a blistering hot summer sun. 112 a powder -blue linen trimmed with a. few judiciously placed enormous white buttons and a white cart- wheel of a hat. "Nick's place is unthinkable on a day like this," said Lissa-light- ly. "Why don't you go somewhere where they have air-conditioning -the Magnolia Room, perhaps? Will you join me in a salad and something tall and pleasantly iced?" Ann was startled. She hesitated. Why should Lizza ask her to lunch? Her first instinct was to refuse •brusquely and go her way. But there was an odd gleam in Lizza's eyes, and a queer little quirk to her lovely mouth that made Ann wonder. Now why the dickens should Lissa crave her company? It was a thought that would bear looking into, and so she said pleasantly, "The Magnolia Room sounds enchanting." The Magnolia Room was on the sixth floor of the city's most popular department store. • On a blazing hot day the dim green walls splashed with the cool beauty of giant magnolia blossoms cupped in their thick dark green leaves, tables like small white pools with shaded lamps,and with neat -looking mulatto girls in print dresses and white aprons to serve the delectable food, it was not odd. Lissa and Ann were given a small .SEAFORTH CLINIC E. A. McMASTER, B.A., M.D. Internist P. L. BRADY, M.D. Surgeon Office Hours: 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., daily, except Wednesday and Sun- day.

I mean. at the night . spot." "It's so hot -and I've been. Pret- ty busy," answered Ana evasively,. "Oh, yes, an engaged girl and her trousseau," said Lissa, . and smiled, though 'not with her eyes. "When's the great day? Or haven't you set• the date yet?" Ann hesitated and then she said evenly, ."No -we haven't set the date yet." Lissa laughed. "Well, if I were in your place, I wouldn't lose any time. Dr. Frazier's darned attrac- tive, ttrao-tive, and with so many men away at the war, he's likely to be snatched up any minute," she sug- gested lightly. , "I'm not worried," said Ann, and meant it; though not, of course, the way Lissa took it. "Hi, wait up!" protested Lissa, shocked. "That's no way for an engaged gal to talk! What do you mean -you're not worried? That you are so sure of him you're sure no other girl could take him? That is flying in the face of Mate, to hurl a challenge like that!" "I -didn't mean it quite like that," said Ann evenly. Lissa studied her shrewdly, "You meant that since you are not in love with him, any- way-" she began, but Ann stiff- ened and straightened. "I'cl rather not discuss it, if you don't mind," she said stiffly and added deliberately, "Have you read any good books lately?" Lissa tipped back her chair and laughed richly as at, some delect- able joke. You are transparent, aren't you?" she said flatly. "You're not one shred in love with Lyn Fraz- ier -but you're completely mad about Tracy-" "How dare you?" protested Ann. "Then why in Heaven's name don't you marry the man?" de- manded Lissa sharply. "Tracy's completely off his head' about you -and if you are . in love with him ' suppose you wouldn't have. any idea why Tracy hasn't asked me to marry him?" asked Ann. Lissa looked at her shrewdly. "Unless because you're engaged to Dr. Frazier -Tracy's pretty much a nut about loyalty and stuff," she returned carelessly. Ann said deliberately, "Tracy feels under such obligations to you, that he will not even consider. -marrying someone 'else -just - on the off -chance that some day you may -need. him-" •Studying Lissa, Ann said dryly, "I suppose you had not the faint- est idea that Tracy felt so obligat- ed to you?", Lissa's eyes widened a little and she started to look surprised and hurt, and then she relaxed, grin- ned and said with a little shrug, "Oh, I knew something about it, but I did not dream he'd go to such lengths. I mean, I've turn- ed to him for help when the going got a bit tough; he sent for me to come down here as soon as he got the job on the Courier. be- cause I was but of a job and bored stiff and at a loose end. But -- goodness, there's no reason for him to stay single on my account. After all, I could yelp to him for help even if he was married-" "Not if he were married to me, you couldn't," said Ann impulsive- ly, and was a little startled be- cause she hadn't meant to say it. But the 'picture of Tracy, as her husband, receiving "yells for help" from the lovely but reckless and careless Lissa, and responding to them, was a little too much. Lissa smiled, pleased at the thought that Ann was jealous of her. "But, my dear!" she protest- ed prettily, "I'm not in the least in love with Tracy. He's a sweet old thing and I'm • terribly ' fond of him but I haven't the faintest ob- jection to his marrying you, if he wants to!". On their way out of the tearoom, half an hour later, there were a number of women chatting in the foyer, waiting for, tables, and among hem was a slender blonde with too much make-up, wearing a sheer, thin black frock and an enormous black cartwheel hat. As Ann made her way through the group she came face to face with the 'blonde, who started, and shrank a little, before she recov- ered herself to say hesitantly, "Oh -hello, Ann." And Ann said evenly, "Hello, Julie." • There was a tiny taut silence, and Lissa looked curiously from Ante to. Julie, .so that Ann knew that Lissa expected to be intro- duced. "Julie, this is Miss Marven, Lissa, MI'S. Barton!" And Lissa said, round -eyed, with every evidence of delighted sur- prise, "Not Julie Barton?" The painful red surged up under Julie's too -heavy make-up and her eyes looked sick and hunted. But she said evenly, "Yes, Miss Mar- ven -I've heard a lot about you, too.". Lissa laughed._ "Not really! I'm much too unimrportant to be talk- ed: about-" "You dance beautifully and - Lyn loves dancing," said Julie quietly. Lissa stood very still for a mo- ment and an odd little expression flickered over hier face and was gone, before she said smoothly, politely, "Lyn? You mean Dr. 'Frazier? Yes, he does dance well -I've met him several times at the Driving Club." "And at less ,public places," said Julie so quietly,. so gently that for a moment Lissa seemed not to grasp the full iinpllcations of that. When she did, She lifted her lovely head and her eyes were frosty, her tone'hostile as she said quietly, "That hounds very much like an unpleasant crack, Mrs. Barton: I'm' afraid' I shall have to ask you to explain it." "I'd be glad to," said Julie and her voice lhad risen a little; not much;' no more than the veleet of the wotnen gabbing and darting around them; but there VMS a faint thread of by Steria do J'nilie's GOING EAST (Mortling) A.M.

Julie's voice went.. up another note and alis was trembling vio- lently, and as she swayef ilia little, Ann -put out a swift hand to steady her and caught the scent of liquor on Julie's breath. "'You can't have him!" she was sobbing, clawing at Liasa, reaching for her, sobbing wildly. "You can't have him - do you hear? He's mine-" Ann did the only thing she could think of in that moment when she realized that the well-bred women about them were staring, whisper- ing -she slapped Julie hard, full across the face, and Julie's head rocked, and then she was still, and a tiny drop of blood- spurted from her lower lip into which she had sunk her small, sharp, white teeth. "Thanks, Ann," she said huskily, and became shamedly conscious of the group about her, and lowered her head until the brim of the cartwheel hid her face. "Sorry -I -I'm not feeling so well-" She tried to make her way through the throng that opened to let leer pass, but she stumbled and swayed and Ann went to her, and put an arm about her, steadying her to the elevator. Outside in the blazing hot street, Ann summoned a taxi, put Julie into it and told the driver the address. At home that night, Ann found Sarah waiting for 'her, with the news that they were having guests for dinner and dinner would be put back an .hour. Ann smothered her • weariness and her impatience at the thought of guests and dutifully took time out to make herself look her pret- tiest. It was time well spent, for when she came down the wide stairs, she looked truly lovely. At least, to the man who stood at the foot of the stairs, and watched her descending, there had never been anything in the world more lovely. For a moment she stood quite still on the bottom stair, and look- ed at Tracy with wide astounded eyes. "What -what in the world are you doing here?" she demanded swiftly. Tracy grinned. "I'm just as sur- prised as you are!" he admitted frankly. "Your .grandmother called me an hour ago, and asked me to come to dinner. She was very in- sistent -snot that she needed to be, of course. I was delighted." Ann's head was swimming a lit- tle. - "But - she didn't say anything about you coming - she said we were havings nests -and made me dress up-" she said hurriedly, be- cause if he kept on looking at her like that, his eyes clinging hun- grily at her mouth, she would fling herself into his arms and beg 'him to kiss .her, and that would be a terri'bl:e"thing to do -terrible -but beautiful, "And a. Very nice job you made of it, too," said Tracy and his eyes took her in from the turquoise flower in her hair to the tips of her silly little strapped sandal slippers that peeped like two sil- ver mice from beneath the long skirt. "You're -you're so beauti- ful, darling -it's all I can do to keep my hands off you -Ann, dear- est-" "And- now that we are all set- tled and cozy," said Sarah in a voice so artlessly pleased that Ann stiffened a little end looked at her with suspicion, "I have to ask you a few questions, Mr. Dris- coll,,and I do hope you won't mind answering them frankly - and truthfully, of course." Tracy grinned a little. He liked the old girl. She was quite a char- The < Q ay0n l i t40 ',.

"Good!!" said Sarah happily. "First of all, then -are you in love with Ann, Mr, Driscoll?" Ann was for a moment rigid with shock and embarrassment, the color burning hot in her face, and then she cried out, angry and in- credulous at Sarah's outrageous frankness, : "Sarah!" . Sarah flung her a quieting glance and then looked straight•at Tracy. "Well, Mr, Driscoll?" she asked briskly. Tracy's hands wee locked tight- ly and his face washite and set. He flung Ann a glance that all but took her. into his arms and kissed her. "She knows that . I am, Mrs. Clayton," he said quietly, the quiet of hard-won control, of dearly - bought composure. "She knows that I adore her." Ann felt warm and breathless with happiness, and a, sudden shyness that made her eyes fall before his, and that set her heart pounding. ses "That's splendid!" said Sarah briskly, "and since she has admit- ted to me that she is madly in love with you, it seems to me that the two of you should do something about it, don't you think?" "Such as what, for instance?" suggested Tracy, almost grimly. (Continued Next Week) The Voice Of Temperance rd 110 4 „.� affil Mr. D. P.

As a mechanic in a garage, he had hopes that someday he would own his own auto repair business. He had the necessary experience and promises of financial backing. But certain obstacles that he would have to overcome always dis- couraged him. So to this day he has never put his plan into action. The world is full of Howards - people who never give themselves a fair chance at success because obstacles, which could be over- come by determined effort, held them back. This is not to say that obstacles should be ignored; it's only com- m mon sense to take them into account But too often we overrate them. . Frequently, too, we exaggerate the probable consequences of failure. Yet Cyrus Field failed three times before he succeeded in span- ning the Atlantic with the first cable! So next time you shrink from tackling some project, step up your "will to win"! • • Fear can also serve useful purposes - as, for example, when at prompts us to prepare for old age and emergencies by taking outlife in- surance.
