Attorney Philip Rogers is another suitor to whom Judy turns for comfort, de ciding to put Sandy out of her mind. CALL FROM SAN FRANCISCO CHAPTER IX Sara Fuller and Philip Rogers had entered the drug store res taurant and sat down In a booth near Judy's. She took a tip from her Dockctbook. left it by her Rlass, and spoke to Ihc two late comers. "HI, you two. Since when have you taken to the 35-cent lunch eonette 7 Last J noara 01 you, Phil, you liked the Coq Rouge and the Rainbow Grill. They do have good sandwiches. I've tasted them. Phil arose and motioned to a scat. "Sit down and join us. It's all impromptu. I had to come up town, and Sara was the only one at the office left to take pity on me. She said she wouldn't go anvwherc but here." Judv shook her head. "I've mountains of work making a bor der around my desk. Can't wait a minute. Just don't form the drue store habit, Phil. Sara and I are addicts, but men hate it. It doesn't fill vou up." Sara smiled brightly under the up-lift brim of the hat which matched the honey stripe in her frock. "Yesterday it was the Coq Roeue. Judy. But he came too late today. Why shouldn't we start a department on manners for men in our magazine?" Her voice was too smooth, her eyes too superior, too satisfied. "We'll talk about it later," Judy answered. "1 have to fly." .. . . ; For a moment, hurrying across the street, she felt a pin point of anger at Philip. Why had he flaunted Sara at her today? True, Sara owed her job to an aunt who had supplied most of the capital for the magazine. The aunt was a board member. May be the board members would ap prove of Sara's story thievery that was what it was. Maybe she, Judy Allen, Vassar '37, could be asked to pack her books and cos metics and start to drop around at agencies. It was odd to be disappointed in two men in one day. Maybe people were right who bound themselves to nothing, although they walked a lonely way, a fear ful way. Hearts weren't pin cush ions. But the moment's interest in Phil died. It was of no conse quence. There was a call waiting for her at the office. "From the Mu nlplcal airport in San Francisco," the receptionist said. "I'll gel the operator immediately." Judy's knees became limp and her hands trembled as she dosed and locked the door Into her of fice. Shakily she tossed her hat onto her desk and picked up the telephone. Across mountains, through gorges and streams, Sandy was calling her. One could believe In rainbows and dreams, In faith that did not fail! "Ready with San Francisco," an operator's voice usked quietly. "Is Miss Judy Allen there?" "Yes, oh, yes," Judy caroled. "I'm waiting." "Go ahead, please,"thc opera tor concluded her part in the coast conversation. "Judy?" Ah, there was no voice so low, so heart-stirring; no voice that repeated a name and opened the gates to heaven so instantly. "Sandy darling? Did you finish your trip?" she asked, all hurt forgotten for a brief, bright mo ment. "Without another mishap, Judy sweet! The oil's grand. But I can't see you for a few more days. I'm delayed." Three thou sand miles his voice hesitated, spoke too carefully. ORDER WINTER FUEL NOW! Slab Wood Prices 4 ft. Green Slab Wood, per cord S2.3S Sawdust, per unit $2,85 per cord $4.00 16-lr.

"I have to fly back to the Gor don lodge and pick up my plane as soon as It is ready. It will take three days at least." Judy hated women who asked curious questions. She believed In oi nean ana sow ana mina. xci she heard her voice asking Sandy how he had reached his destina tion. Not her voice. A quiet, un moved voice. A voice that sound ed uncaring because it cared so much. "Peg let me refuel with the new oil and come on as I had planned. She's all right, Judy. You'll like her." "Am I going to met her, Sandy?" "Certainly, you are. What is this, honey? A quiz on my late adventure? "Silly nut, of course not. And why shouldn't you have an ad venture? You're not bound by any reasons." "Except that I love you and nobody else will do." "Are you sure?" "Hey, nitwit, I'd try to Impress you, but It comes high at $5 word." "I'm Impressed and the an swer to your usual question is in the affirmative!" So he still loved her. It wasn't too late. Men couldn't turn off their emotions like twisting a spigot any more than women could. "And you wait until I'm three thousand miles avyay to tell me! I'll fly back on something more than wings. But, Judy" Now she knew that his voice was un certain and worried. "All right, Sandy. Say it." Pecs here with me. insisted on coming on after her ankle was fixed. She's getting a thrill out of the notoriety and making up , a romance that doesn t exist. She's been kind to me and well, I can't lot her down right now. Next week when I'm home I'll tell the world about us." His tones were definitely worried. 'Please understand, Judy." "Why can't you let her down Sandy?" 'Because sties a real person, and she's said a few things, think ing I was free. You and I will show her, Judy. We'll never let on we understood what she meant. And everything you hear is nonsense. Please believe me." Three thousand miles was such a far away distance. Three thou sand miles was the distance be tween now and never. 'But I'll be the one to be pitied!" She had never thought she would plead with a shining- haired young aviator across a continent. "But why, Judy?" His voice was perplexed. "You've always told me to fly away before. No one knows." It was so masculine for a man not to understand so dumb and yet so dear, for Sandy to take her at the words she hadn't meant. "Peg's flying back with me so she can see her own doctor about her ankle. It would be an awk ward trip with the kid In snif fles-" '1 know. Men hate women who cry. And it will be lovely in your silver plane in the sky. She may even forget her ankle. Goodby, Sandy. She knew that he tried to call her to promise something - but she hung up swiftly. Ilrr face was while, her mouth a Valentine red when she met Phil at 5. He looked solid, sturdy, devoted. The kind of a man every giii should marry. When Phil s hand coveted hers across the table, she withdrew it quickly. He had something to ask her, though. Wearily, politely she raised her eyes to listen. (To Be Continued.) FREE! TO THE LADIES Constance Bennett Cosmctlci every Monday and Tuesday eve ning at the Rose theatre. (Adv.)

Rhodes, secretary-manager of the Associated Grocers of Seattle, to day announced that Unilod States sugar supplies are ample and there was no reason for the unus ual sugar-buying spree grocers c-ijeountered yesterday. He said some small stores sold as much as 2,500 pounds in a day. "The public is hurting its own Interests by this unwarranted buying," he announced. "The great demand might cause whole salers to boost the price." But, he added, he douted if the government would permit raw sugar prices to rise more than 25 to 35 cents per cwt. Many dealers reported sell-outs of flashlights, one having dis posed of a normal year's supply.

V lilt- WATERFIll & FRAZIER DISTILLERY With Major Hoople Politics Junked By Leaders to Aid In Tasks of War WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (AP) President Roosevelt, hailing of fers of the major political parties to aid the war effort, asserted to day that they were capable of "inestimable service" and he thought they could function to the best advantage in the field on civilian defense. Edward J. Flynn, democratic national chairman, wired chair- man Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of the republican national committee, on Tuesday declaring politics stood adjourned .and pointing to the pos sibilities of service by the two political organizations. Martin wired back that repub licans would gladly answer any call to national service and stood ready to contribute their talents and abilities in every way to the' defense of their country. In identical telegrams to the two today, the president thanked them on behalf of the country "for the patriotic action you have in contemplation." . . Senate republicans adopted una-, nimously today a resolution pledg ing to the president their "unani mous support in the vigorous and efficient prosecution of the war.", Announcement of the action was made by minority leader Mc Nary, who said he had outlined a legislative program which he ex-, pected to be before congress be tween now and the end of the session, including measures to give to President Roosevelt the war powers granted President Wilson. Ho said there would be no price control legislation at this session and it was doubtful whether any labor legislation would be ready. McNary added that he would not agree to any period of recess for congress. House leaders, he said, had proposed an cightday recess, but he said the most he would accept would be two or three days for Christmas. FREE!
