Saturday; December 21, 1940 The Capital Journal, Salem; Oregon Seven Henry 1 1 1 I 1 (Y X-21 fcj) Angela The Characters Noci Mnrchand, a beautiful young actress. Allan Colllngs, a young man Noel likes. David Norrls, Noel'a wealthy aultor Yesterday: Allan kisses Noel, but when Elaine summons him to town he goes immediately. Chapter U A Decision Made "Let's talk of something else, dear, I had a miserable trip and would rather not think; of It again." Noel, sitting with David at one of the corner tables In an exclusive restaurant, felt an angry flush rising In her cheeks. She was back in New York, with the pleasant days at Claiborne behind her and this was her first meeting with David since his return yesterday from Bermuda. He was different, somehow. She had a feeling he was blaming her for all the unpleasantness of his cruiss. She felt, too, that he was being deliberately woeful about the whole thing. . . ,. , . "Swanstrom expects the revised play script from Dixon on Monday," David said quietly. Noel looked at him startled. "I was going to call him this af ternoon. How did you know? I should think he would have told me first." "Well" David's words came slowly. "I happened to be talking to him and he mentioned it." That wasn't like Swanstrom, Noel realized. So instead of phoning her producer as soon as she left David she took a taxi to his onice. "I'll expect the world to come tumbling down on my shoulders If Dixon keeps his promise," Hwans trom told her when she arrived. Noel thought he would offer her the contract then, hinted at such, Even suggesting that if he waited too long, some other producer might sign her. "I'll take that chance," Swanstrom told her cynically. Both of them knew there was no other vehicle into which she might fit. But his mood changed quickly. He talked of her part, of how much he counted on a long run of the other mem bers of the cast. David didn't call her but the next morning a huge box of flowers was delivered early with his neat writ' ing inscribing the penitent message: "Noel, my dear one, it's because I love you so much." David, she decided, was over hi. peevish mood. When the mall was brought up she found a charming note from Mrs. Marchand: "Allan and I are coming down to New York for New Year's Eve. I'll call you when I arrive," she wrote Then she added: "I dread it so much, as the time for his going back to South America draws near. Noel's spirits sank as Rhe read that part of the letter, sne, too, hated to think that in two weeks Allan would be going so far away. There was nothing important on her list of engagements to make the day interesting. Then she made a sudden plan. Using Her Head It seemed foolish all the way down to Pennsylvania Station, but she bought a round-trip ticket to Orson and learned she had only 20 minutes to wait for the train. Sitting, staring out through the train window, past the towns ana fields of New Jersey, she thought about the Impulse that had driven her to this journey. She knew more than she cared to admit that an' other line In Mrs. Marchand's letter had something to do with it. "Elaine seems to realize she made a mistake In not marrying Allan. I wish they'd decide one way or an other. I want my boy to be happy." Elaine, Noel thought bitterly, al ways had gotten what she wanted And now obviously she wanted Al lan again. It was nearly three o'clock when she walked tlirough the narrow rough streets of Orson, familiar yet so different. She stopped In front of one house, smaller and din gier than the rest. Almost expected, for a brief breathless moment, to see x familiar lace at the window. By Ccff. 1910; rfj rWn lu, WoU rtoMt Carl r Lorden "That's what you came from that's what you'll go back to if you don't use your head," she whispered vehemently to herself. And knew that using her head didn't mean depending on the whims of play wrights like Dixon, nor the uncer tain calls from producers' offices. In a shabby old taxi she went out to the cemetery carrying the white winter flowers she'd bought at the only florist shop she could find. While the driver waited outside the gates, Noel laid the blossoms on two mounds near a weatherbeaten fence. Tears filled her eyes, and flowed down her cheeks as she spoke to herself. Mother, darling, can you hear me? You told me to watch out for myself," sobs punctuating her spok en thoughts, "and I will. Look what love got you I" Riding back to the train, Noel's cab passed what she remembered as the town's most Imposing resi dence. It looked shabby now and much smaller. Once it had seemed like a mansion. There was no one in Orson Noel wanted to see. While she waited in Philadelphia for the New York express, Noel sent a wire to David to meet her at the station. And on the train she tried to eat the chicken sandwich she ordered with a pot of hot tea. The first bite made a lump in her throat. She knew her decision was made! She should be so happy 1 But the darkness outside her window was a winter bleakness comfortless, a little frightening. David, worried, rushed toward her at the head of the steps in the big station rotunda. "Where have you been, darling?" David took her arm solicitously, waiting her answer. "I went to see my old home." Noel's voice sounded tired. "I need- ed to, David." She was asking his understanding, without further question. In the cab that took them into the brightly lighted Manhattan streets, Noel turned to David sit ting quietly beside her. She let her hand slide into his and marveled at his eager acceptance of her ges ture. "You're sweet to care about me: David; maybe I don't deserve it." Encouraged by her attitude he put his arm protectively about her shoulder. She drew away slowly and said with regretful apology: "I'm so tired, David. There's been so much I had to think about." And when they reached the hotel she made that her excuse to leave him. David was substance, security all the rest, make-believe and un certainty. 'Practically Cured Next morning a note came by messenger from David: "I woke up with a beastly cold, and a temperature " Davtd wrote. Noel called David's apartment. His servant answered and told her Mr. Norrls was in bed. The doctor was returning before luncheon. "Ask him If he'd like me to drop over and see him, Josephs," Noel said impulsively. When Josephs came back to the telephone, he reported: To be continued KSLM ISM ItlM relet Monday 80 Pmtor'l Call. 9:15 MelodlO Uoodl, 10:00 Newt. 10:30 Hi U Of Senoni Past. 10:4& Dr. R.
