CMS tiers panta descend on his head. This creates an awkward altuatlon (or a moment. But Pack, finally saya "yea." Chapter 35 Return of the Native " Thouuri mythology does' not be. labor the point, It Is conceivable that at the moment when the re turning Ulysses crossed his thres' hold (o find a bevy of lounge lizards making time with the fair Penelope, a vasty silence settled over the palace. Conversation, In dubitably, stopped abruptly; wise crack died on shocked lip; lutes were muted. For it Is moments like these that breed silence. And such a moment occurred when Mr. Richard Craftonbury Adams, fol- InwNl hv Matherton In a (Treat state of treDidatlon. aoneared like a form! of harried avennlng anael In the doorway of his own living-room. For two awful moments Richard Craftonbury Adams glowered at the assemblage. Then he folded his arms and spoke. "What the devil's going on here?' quoth Richard Craftonbury. No one seemed prepared to reply to this simple Inquiry. Richard Craftonbury tried exhortatory mea sures. "Well, speak up, dammit," he said. "Speak up, somebody I" As he said It, he peered at the group and dis covered two Individuals with whom he had a nodding acquaintance They were Van Harkness and Jumbo Cutler. He picked on Van. "Ha! You. Harkness I What does this mean?" "Er aagh ..." began Van and stopped, finding himself supersed ed by someone possessed of a bet ter gift of language. It was, surprisingly enough. Miss Dorothy South. For some seconds Miss South had been studying Rich ard Craftonbury. Now she had him categoried. He seemed to her the Incarnation of a breed with which she had had a world of experience, namely, the tired business man. He looked like a harassed sugar dad dy. And, such being the case, she held him in no awe whatsoever. She addressed him as she was won't to address sugnr daddies. "Hello, Pops," she said. "Come . on In. The water's fine." Richard Craftonbury Jumped. "E he ejaculated. "I said 'oil up the Joints and let's you and me touch olf a rhumba You look as If you could bend a wicked ankle, Fops." Richard Craftonbury smirked slightly. Back In the golden nine ties he had bent ankles with the best of them. But in his day gen tlemen had not danced with young ladies to whom they were not yet introducer). He sought introduc tion In a direct and tycoon-lsh manner. "Who the devil arc you?" he de manded. now, Pops." said Miss South soo'hlngty. "Keep vour shirt on Exitement's bad for your blood pressure. But. Just for your Infor mation. I'm the head mistress of the School for Backward Oirls There! That'll leam you to swear at a lady." rucnard Crartonoury regarded her wilh Interest. He liked this young woman. She had spirit Epunk. He studied her for a sec ond. She was a good looker, too. "Didn't exactly swear at you.' he said now, a little grumpily. "Always swear at everybody. Don't mean anything by It." "That's okay, Pops." Miss South said. "Come on over and sit b me and let's take our hair down.' On the point of obeying this com mand Richard Craftonbury was di verted by a slight noise behind him. Jonathan Harland was coming long the hall convoying a most attractive young woman. 'Von Voting Rapscallion' Spiritually, Richard Craftorburv was over on the divan letting down his hslr with Mia Don. thy South, By But corporeally, he remained In the doorway of the living room Now that he had culled a speak ing acquaintance with Miss South he was willing to Join the party. But, under the circumstances, It was a point of honor with him to bawl somebody out before becom ing a member of It. And here made to order, was his nephew Jonathan. He took a breath and began. "You young rapscallion," he thun dered. Tacks halted, an arm around Packy. "U-Uncle D-Dlck." he stammer ed, mouth agape. He had thought Uncle Dick safe In Europe. Ricnard Craftonbury whipped out a cigar. He could bawl-out better when champing on something. "Well." he snapped, "speak up. Don't stand there like a driveling Idiot. Explain this! I demand an explanation of this. I come home from Europe for peace and quiet and wnat do I find? What do I find? Hey? A brawl. A shambles going on in my house. A blowout, a Jam boree and every light In the place blazing." He moved to the hall table and pounded It. He could enunciate better when pounding. "I won't nave It, I tell you, I WONT HAVE IT!" Under this barrage Jonathan Har land Adams wilted like a rose In the desert. "Nothing but a little party," he muttered sheepishly. "Party? Hal" Richard Crafton bury's cigar bobbed up and down like a light on rough water. "I'll knock your party Into a cocked hat." Mr. Adams had not the slightest intention of dispersing the gathering but, at this point, he thought It strengthened his posi tion to avow such. "Entering my nouse, tearing up my living room playing my radio. I ought to have the law on you. Dammit, I will have the law on you. 1 , . . Ouchl1 Something had pinched his arm, Mr. Adams went half a foot Into the air, came down and wheeled as he landed. Miss Dorothy South stood at his elbow, a glass in her nand. "Let the engine idle a while. Poos." she said, "and drink this. It'll put a wave in your hatr. "Hal" roared Richard Crafton bury. You pinched me.' "You re lucky I didnt make you stand In the corner,' said Miss South. "Kicking up such a fuss In the middle of a swell party. Here!' sue thrust the class at him. Richard Craftonbury drained It at a gulp. "That's good liquor." he announc ed, wiping his mouth. "It ought to be. Pops." said Miss South. 'It's yours," This called to Richard Crafton bury'a mind another Item which he had omitted to mention while addressing his nephew He swung around to the spot where he had left Tacks. 'You Old Oriiily Bear' "Sol" he shouted furiously. "Drink ing my liquor ..." He broke olf suddenly. "Here, what's this? Where Is the young Jackanapes?" But Tacks had converted the after math of Miss Souths pinch. Tak ing Packy with him. he had depart ed to a far corner of the room. "Now. Pops," said Miss South, "you let that nice grandson of yours alone." Richard Craftonbury swelled like a pu!f adder In wrath. Orandson?" he bellowed. "He's my nephew. Who do you think I am. Methtwaleh?" Oh. skip It, Pops!" said Miss South. "I was only kidding. Honest. you don t even look old enough to have a nephew." She tucked her arm through his. "Come on now! Show me over this castle of yours You've probably got secret stairways and live ghosts 11' everything." Nothing she could have suggest ed would have been better calcu lated to mollify Richard Crafton bury.

They crossed the room and en tered the library. "This Is the library," Richard Craftonbury announced. "I'll remember," said Miss South "I won't speak a word." "Five thousand volumes here,' pursued Richard Craftonbury, way. Ing his hand. Continued tomorrow Radio Programs KSLM ISM RllMrdM Ts1sr f.
