Monday, August 3, 1953 Pace 12 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, Salem. Orefsn BURNED FINGERS By KATHLEEN NORMS CHAPTER 12 The ilow months won sway through Chrtsuiias. the new year cam in, and In binary spring u In the air. Acacia bloomed; grasa pushed up on empty corner lots; tiie sun ahone in a blue Italian sky. March rain and winds iwept by. April brought shining, lull heavy evening. "Betty," yawned Jennifer, "why doesn't something happen? In time for something to happen. Things happen to other people. Why don't they happen to us?" -someday youii iau in wve with someone." Betty said, turn In the dials slowly. "And then maybe you'll wish you hadn't wanted something to happen I don't mean crackpots like poor what s-his-name uene mans. But that other man who used to telephone you Borrows. You aald he'd let you down. What happened?" "I don's know where he Is now." Jennifer made her voice sound mildly Indifferent, casual Sud denly she got to her feet "I'll tell you what," she said. I'm going to take those dish towels upstairs and hang them out. And then I'm going to bed." She wrung the soaking towels with vigorous twists of her hands, tossed them Into a pan. climbed the Iron ladder from the back porch. The moment her head emerged from the square trap door In the roof she was out In the velvety blackness of the nlnht under the areat throbbing arch of the stars. "On, stars stars stars!" whis pered Jennifer, r.er hand auto matically busy with the clothes pins while her eyes were turned toward the throbbing vault above her and the misty shining scarf of the Milky Way. She went to the low cement parapet that fenced the roof and stepped up as she had many times before to the neighboring roof and on to the other roots. staring overhead at tne tapestry In silver and velvet black that was the sky. At the corner there was a gro cery with two flats above It, and beyond that on the side street a large ouuaing wnose grouna ana second floors were occupied by an auctioneer. The third floor of this building rose half a story higher than the grocery building on the corner: It was apparently a sort of loft, with glass doors opening on a brick terrace, now checked with long oblongs of light from the room within. Jennifer, amazed to see lights here at this hour where there had never been any signs of oc cupation before., effaced herself against the wall, and took a side wise view of the lighted room. She had never seen a studio before but she had read of them. There were easels, canvases, a model platform In view, and with them, all In dire confusion, for the occupant was obviously In the process of moving In, a hun dred other objects. The man seemed old to Jenni fer. His bald dome wss fringed with light fluffy hair, his thin face was lined. He wore paint spattered slacks and a smock, a pipe was between his teeth, and he was whistling softly. Tall, stooped, with shrewd keen eyes, he gave an Immediate Impression of unconventionallty, Independ ence, and ft sort of lean and wiry virility. Jennifer grew more and more absorbed ln watching him. She jumped and started back as he aid conversationally: "Come In 11 you want to. What re you doing out on that pnrch t run o'clock at night any.' iy." "I came up to hang out some dish towels," she explained. "But It was such a beautiful night I walked on the roofs. I didn't know anyone lived here." "Nobody has until today. "Come In and sit down. I'll take a breathing spell. Your name Is . . . 1 "And you're fourteen?" I'm past nineteen. I look awful . . ." Jennifer murmured, sud denly conscious of her appear ance. "Well, my name's Montgomery Smith. And there you have my history. An impressive start and a sudden fizzle out into the com monplace." "This Isnt commonplace." Jen tilfer aald. "It's a studio. Isn't It? It seems very fascinsting. And this terrace you could do anything witn mat." "Have, breakfast out there? "I never thought of that. But it would be wonderful to have breakfast out there." "in a north light, you see?" "The stars, you mean?" she asked. "No. North light. An artist." he explained, "always likes a north light." "Ph. and have you got one?' ah asked, still uncertain. "The Lord has provided me with one," Montgomery explained. "The sun neither rises or sets In the north. The light on your model is always the same. "Can't I help you?" she asked "You wouldn t want to put those books on tne shelves mere? Jennifer stacked books with anxious care; she turned them right side up, nut all the shorter ones on the top Shell. "Do you need any help with that piano?" she asked as her companion hurled his whole thin body against the case of an old fashioned sousre Instrument. "Jennifer, In what academy of KIEPWOUTH HAPPY. " WnHn, Cum, Enjoy lively sprannint flavor. Coots your mouth- sweetens breath. aJaassass7 V.v:'T; v.v learning are you enrolled?" "I'm working. All I did was finish high school." "That's more." he said, ."than I did.'1 "You!" she exclaimed. Incredu lous. "I stopped In the middle of the third year. An aunt 01 mi wn me thirteen thousand dollars. I immediately took a trip around the world, took another trip around the world, and studied for four years in ran, bo, you see, vnitYnnw more than I do." "I don't know anything." Jen nifer answered seriously "I wish I did. I am always wishing I wss one of the girls whose families let- them travel teach them things. Riding horseback, and tennis, and how to talk about things. And playing the harp A girl I know can play the harp." Montgomery laid. "You've nothing to worry about. Very few persons ride horseback nowadays, you can learn tennis, and as for the harp well, you might as well learn how to milk a rein deer." "Gills look beautiful playing the harp." "Well, vou might manage it some other way. Now talk that's different." the man went on half seriously. "Talkers are bom, not made. All you have to do Is say what you re thinking quite nat urally. Sooner or later somebody'll listen. But of course you have to think first. This girl wno plays the harp is she ft professional player?" "Oh no. She once worked in the office where I do. But she played the harp: she had a harp." "She probably played rottenly. You've never heard her play. Can you make coffee?" he asked. "Oh yes. Would you like me to make some?" "Perhaps' your harp -playing friend couldn't make coffee?" he suggested. "I don't know that she could,", Jennifer aairl lallffhtnff. V.. ---I V,. ..an At thlmM f uu arc r iuu ...n, w ..... . she couldn't do. But as for edu cation, Jennifer," the man said, I immensely enjoying a steaming cud of coffee, and rapidly butter Ing crackers, "here's something that has interested me for a long time: how much do you have to know of a thing to oe considered pretty well up in It?" "For Instance if I spoke of Berlin, 'Ah, the beauty of that Mllet Gate In the Pergamum Museum,' or If I speke of Wag ner and vou asked for the "Sieg fried Idyll' I'd think you were pretty well up on museums and German operas, wouldn't I?" "And would I be!" Jennifer ex claimed with conviction "The question Is, how much more than Just those phrases would vou have to know?" the man said. "Suppose, now. you got up twenty little remarks smarty remarks, touching on every con ceivable thing from heraldry, say to Robert Browning from Min orca to Paul Revere. Suppose you wrote tnem down ana memorized them. Then next week you worked up twenty more, and so on for oh, twenty weeks. Twenty times twenty is four nunared, isn i it? "But I was thinking that, to night." she put in eagerly as he paused, "and thinking that It would take me years and years last to read those books you have here. And then I wouldn't remem ber them, and even then people wouldn't talk about things I knew but millions of other things." "I aont mean atuov inose things, for you're quite right It would take years, and then tne conversation would be eternally getting away from astronmy or asbestos or whatever you a mas' tered. I mean regular little par' rot speeches. Like, for Instance. I ask vou to fix my books. You say you don't know tow to ar range books but you are "not bred so dull' but that you may learn. , Why do I say that?" Jennifer asked dutifully. "Because that makes the hear era think you have a knowledge of 8hakespeare.'' Montgomery said. 'They never go any fur ther! You rip off a dozen words in oerman and someone nears you and tells someone else that you're a linguist. You see a pret ty child and say. 'What ft little Romney!' And It It by George this would be ft very interesting experiment." he ended, breaking Into his own soliloquy enthus iastically. "Not a book in the whole course. Just a flock of cul tural phrases. 1 wonder how far we'd get with it? Every time you see a picture of Venire you sav 'Ah, Guardl. Guard!, what aren't you responsible for!' If any one speaks of Swinburne" "But would anyone?" she put In earnestly, and he laughed. "Well, It doesn't have to be Swinburne or any other one poet." "Now I'll tell you. little Miss Jennifer Richie." Montgomery said, "you trot along home It's almost ten o'clock. Here. I'll go with vou: 111 at least get you onto the roof You think It over, and If you like, come bark any evening you can tell by the light If I'm here and well start the Smith Capsule Svstem.' Tell your mother that I'm very respecttable. that my aunt saraii lives in port. land and Is married to a minister and Is eminent In good works, and that I'm twice your age and then Just four more years . . . Here's my flashlight. Let's get going Once or twice, as they stepped up or down on the levels of the roofs, he grasped her hand, and after she was In bed that night she thought what an extra ordinary experience ft handclasp I was. what a thrilling thine a studio could be. hew heart-warm- lng It was to have a friend.
