She Allaire) Chapter 28 PUFF AGAIN lirllXETT went up to b1 room, tT opened tbe door, and stopped on the threshold In astonishment. A girl was sitting In the chair. It was Puff Harrington, wlllett was speechless for a moment, then be remembered she bad asked turn where he was staying In New York. "Hello. Louise," she greeted. "Louise?" "Ub bub. Vou'ro Louise Marran- way whom I'm visiting In New York. Dear Louise." Terry shut the door behind him and looked at her tbougbtfullyr She lounged nonchalantly In the chair, attractive In ber soft cadet blue wool sports suit, light fox collar and smart little felt bat with nose veil. "How," he Inquired, "did you get here?" "Alas, .what a welcome." she sighed. "Puff, my child, you picked s, darb to chase. Terry, It was very simple. Examine my sleeves at your leisure and look no more for mir rors. "I waited a long time for you last night and when you didn't coma J called the West house to Inquire your whereabouts and was told that a Mr. Wlllett bad called and left long ere since. So I took a chance, do parted thither, and by Judicious use ' ot several pictures of Abraham Lin coin against a background of green, contrived to be let Into your room." She smiled at him. "It was so much pleasanter wafting here than In the lobby." She gestured toward a tray of White Rock, glasses, cracked Ice and a large square bottle. 'I sven arranged It so that the party starts off right." "Oh, we're going to have a party?" "So I hope, and so I've planned. J told you I knew tbls town like tbe palm ot my hand. We're golug lots of places and see lots of things. Just take my band, Lancelot." Well, why not? Better than sitting around alone. Looked as (hough that coin had spun both ways. Step on the gaa and catch the lights as you go along. They had a drink together. Puff was already a couple up on him. "It's so much nicer being here with you. My statesman father is giving a spoech today. 1 nearly got. hooked Into attending, but Louise came to xny rescue. Dear Louise." "I'd like to bear the speech your father would give If he knew where you were." "Couldn't be worse than tbe ono he's putting a few assorted senators to sleep with. It's about sugar beets." "Sugar beets?" "Or sweet potatoes, or something. Who cares?" She yanked off her hat, flung her eon on the divan, and gave a deep algh of relief. "Who cares?" she repeated. "You had a lousy time last night, didn't you?' Wlllett frowned at hla glass. "I'm forgetting last night." "What wore you looking for par ticularly?" "Puff, I don't think you'd under stand It 1 told you." "No? What makes you think so?" She clasped her hands behind ber dark head and stretched herself com fortably. "Come on oror and sit down, darling." QUE liked to play games and her Idea of life was one long good time, but Wlllett, as he looked at her lust then, felt that this nonchalant girl filled a quoer need In his life. He'd lost the only person In the world be'd cared anything about. Puff was very pretty and very In triguing and there was no reason why he shouldn't flow along with the stream. She gave him a slow mocking (lance from those heavily lashed violet eyes. "Afraid of finding something you were looking for?" He didn't say anything, but went tver and sat down beside her. She stretched out her arms and clasped ber hands behind his neck A bracelet slid down one tanned young arm. tier mouth was very red and there was sn air of cocktails delicate perfume and clgareta about her; but there was also the Intrlgu Ing slow caress of ber words and a !IM( T Ot-VMPIA, Jsn.

Chief William Cols of the wsh lnun State patrol said today. The truck was loaded with ore con centrate. Cole said, bound for Ta c.mia amelter. The freight carrier was ounied bv J. H. rtk of Eiwene. S'ata patrolmen reported to head quarters that evidently the driver had dropped off to sleep or that s front vire blew out causing the truck to a-wrve from the highway and crash into e telephone pole. The driv er was pinned Inside. I trick of invitation in tbose eyes ot hers. "Well, Terry Wlllett?" she said. "This Isn't heading right. Puff." "Don't be silly," she requested "Darling, you're such a little boy "Ob. hell" He made an Impatient move, but ber hands tightened. "Little boy," she repeated provoca tively. "Little boy lost In a depart ment store and yelling for tali mother. Tall, and strong, and straight, but you feel lost. I can tell, darling. Why worry? the world wasn't made to worry about. Do you know that you haven't kissed me yet?" "I know that," said Terry. "Don't you think you'd care to try It?" Wlllett tried It. She didn't want to let him go, but be gently disengaged ber bands. What was the matter with blm, be wondered. Was be about to turn bis collar around, or something, or did he seem to feel the Ironlo mockery of two dark eyes as he landed wltb Puff on tbe rebound? He got up and walked back to the table, poured out two shots and banded one to tbe girl. 'You're a swell kid. Put It down to dumbness and let's head In another direction." "Lancelot," she sighed, "I dub thee Galahadfor tbe nonce." She raised her glass. "For the nonce." The' rest of that evening was a confused blur. Puff took a room near by to which she repaired to dress In an evening gown, and she called up some male friend of bers In town whose measurements she computed to be close to Terry's to send over some dress clothes for Wlllett When be appeared In evening dress she won a mental bet wltb herself. He looked grand In them, the bronze of bis face contrasting with the gleaming whiteness of bis starched shirt bossom, and the easy natural way his rangy form carried thorn. Wlllett didn't care he Just flowed along wltb tbe stream ot her enthusi asm. Time enough tor struggle In tht days tn come. THEY landed In some night clut far untown where nleht's grin nlng Jungle ecstasy was rampant in the spectacular savage blare of s colored Jazs band. Lights flashed In darkness, a mas tor ot ceromonies Introduced lots ol people, a chorus ot garishly decked girls pounded the floor with tbe sharp staccato of dancing heels and raised their voices In tinny song. A dusky prima donna sang throaty haunting retrain about winds and ber man, or something A blonde girl at a table near them giggled over the antlca ot ber escort Tbey left that place and went tc another. Puff had an argument wltb somebody about a cocktail called tbi Earl of Westminster. A rillor-skat Ing entertainer asked for a volunteei to be swirled around; Puff volun teered nd was loft so dizzy shi couldn't stand up. Everybody laughed. Terry wondorod If all these peo pie were having fun. He had a coupli more drinks and tried to Join tht parade. Tbey mot complications at a clul filled with dress clothes and hlgb prices. There wore four men if everyday clothes loaning against I bar. They wero all members ot I nationally fnmous football team am they said so. They also said they had been Ii the place since four o'clock that at ternoon. The manager warned then he didn't want any hlgb Jinks. Whei Puff came In with Terry they trie some high Jinks. "Hey, Christy," said one of them "know that girl?" Christy, lounging against the bai wltb bis cheok on one hand, opened his eyes boredly. "Oretchen Tllllngbast," he re turned, and closed his eyes again "I'll bet Christy doesn't know del name at all." "Do so." refutod Christy with dig nlty, his eyes still shut "It you don't like the name, Ned, pick 'nother. All the same." "It's all right," said Ned "Let'i huddle." They put their beads together. "1 figure the escort for a five-yard loss," advised one. We'll ask the babs In," decided the man they called Ned. "I'll flip you," offered Ned. Tbey Hipped; Joe lost Ned ambled over to Terry's table and addressed himself to Puff. "Babe," be said, "do you know that there have been times when seventy thousand people would glvs their shirts to know what went on In that huddle?" (Copyright.

Whon the grand opening took place the first show' at the new theatre was 'The Road to Ruin" a play In which a young spendthrift brings about near ruin to hts father's bank. and almost has to give up the girl he loves and marry a rich old widow. The title of this opening attraction at the Bowery thoatre was prophetic of the theatre's destiny. The theatre became known as the unlucklest cne In the world, and for 35 years mlt- haps dogged It. Two years after the theatre was opened It was destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt by the manager who soon took to drink because of the falling venture thla led to his death nd the killing of Charles Young, an ac tor. In 1930 the building was agtn destroyed by flro, bringing financial ruin to the new manager who had let his Insurance lapse a few days before the fire. The Bowery was reopened the fol lowing year by another manager. Thirteen months later It was again destroyed by fire, Insurance this time only partly covering the loas. In 1830 it was' opened again, but six years later burned again. For the TAILSPIN TOMMY Tommy 'ffbinatzo qv 7Uor TJe: "&.AVO V THE GKV'OY 7aV&a?
