FOUR BLIND DATES

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. H Joved exhibiting tiis

"AU right." he said. "Let's leave
these caterwauling idiots."
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.
