Pat Oft A New Novtl by Morion Sims L KYSOPS18: Carol Torrance fini$ teaching school In Aehboro not futte mo bad ae ehe had expected, here le Hike Bannlgan, lor exam ple, who is a handeome youth and devoted to her. And outelde the erhool there are casual frlende plue a young and rather Holly-wood-looking chap called Denle Ford. Carol and Dcnlt began their acquaintance at a dance. They had a fight, made up, and now are placidly "kidding6 each other. Be tween them there le already a bond, tenuous, but actual Chapter 10 SURRENDER THE mask of mockery slipped a little, and Denla saw a corner of Carol'a (aca behind It. "I think there's too much and not enough. I think we'd better let well enough alone. Skip It entirely." "We'd better, but we won't." He knew It was (utile to pretend with her. There was no use kidding them selves about what came afterwards, "Unless," he experimented, "you're afraid to take the cash and let the credit go?" Her eyes were narrow. "How a man does love to pass the buck. . . ." He frowned Impatiently. "This Is damn foollshnoss all this footwork and sparring. Come on, Carol." But aha shook her head. "I'm a public servant, Denis. Caesar's wife. We might sit on the terrace and talk Einstein, but It would add up to the same thing." "Tell me about this man "Uh, all right. Tomorrow night, then? Make up your mind, sweet; Den's heading this way with a predatory gleam In his eye." She gavo It up. "Yes." He didn't dance with her again, and Ihoy both knew why, SATURDAY afternoon In Ashboro. The streets and aldewalka were . clotted, crawling atroams of humani ty. Farmera In wagona and small cars, with provisions and children spilling over the edges of their vehi cles, blocking the way for cars that st)uawkod profanely behind thorn. The farmers' Uvea wore adjusted to a different tompo, and they hoard tho Impatient squawktngs with a superb Indltforence. Mill girls and women trod the sidowalka. The oldor women were stamped unmistakably by their gait and their fncos; they moved delib erately, pushing their heads and their stomachs bofore them, and their (aces hold neither happiness nor pain, hope nor despair. Nothing, Carol thought, but emptiness. Only the Negroes seemed alive, tholr dark faces slashod with wide, whito grins. Thoy alone were alive, and with so little reason. Carol said despsirlngly: "If I'd known it would be this bad I think I'd have stayed at home." Ellen laughed. "Evory town In America must be this way on Satur day. Don't protend you nover knew that." "1 don't But this seems worse than Merodith, probably because we've only got three cotton mills." "Well, It's very Instructive. The correct remark Just here la: "I love to watch crowds.' " She shivered. "I do. Or at least I think 1 do. Only It's pretty wear ing, like being poumlod by waves. You feel all their povoi ty and misery breaking against you so vividly. "Probably moro vividly than they do poor devils, because you've got something else to compare It with." Ellon turned Into the drug store. "Come on, and I'll buy you an orangeade to choor you up." When the drinks appeared Ellen aald cheorfully: "Tell me about this man you've got a date with tonight." Carol sipped her drink and forced her mind to think about Ellen's BVDNKY, Australia (UP) Ameri can advertising methods am to be used thla year to push the world wide sale of the Australian wool c rep. A flrat attempt, last year at adver tising produced such astonishing re sults that all of the wool grower this year consented to a voluntary levy of 25 cents on each bale of wool for advertising purposes. The experimental 1035 advertising campaign resulted In a 3 per cent Increase In anlea. The campaign was carried on along the lines of creat ing new fashions and coiwqi irmly new aemsnria tn woolen wear. The 1O36-1036 Australian wool crop question: to put Denis Ford Into words. "Well, he looks like a composite of Valentino and George Raft and all the other Big Menaces of Holly wood. He even weara a mess jacket." "I don't see anything wrong so far," Ellen said stoutly. "There Isn't. It's Just perfect." "What does he do?" "When he does anything he's a reporter. Just now he's at leisure. And of course I suppose he writes." "What makes you suppose that?" "Did you ever see a newspaper man that didn't?" "I never saw but one," Ellen ad mitted, "and I don't know whether he did or not., Ho didn't say." "I know. He did." "You sound awfully vicious," Ellen said shrewdly, "as If you were trying not to fall for him." She laughed ruefully. "Not quite. It wouldn't get me anywhere at all." "Oh, he won't he out of a Job In definitely." "No, but he will periodically, tha rest of his life. He's got the charm ing aroma of Instability about him. And," she added resentfully, "he's probably clever aa hell." "Well," Ellen reasoned, "aa long aa you're forewarned you might aa well go ahead and enjoy him. Edu cators have to have recreation Just like anybody else." you've got a date with," She laughed. "It depends on ths recreation. I've got an Idea thai coping with Denla might be aa ex haustlng as plowing, and not hall aa productive." . But she knew aha waa aaylni words, and that the worda fell witfc a hollow sound on her own ears She took the offensive defensively. "How re you doing with Macs Hudglns?" ' Mack Hudglna waa a delightfully Ingonuoua youth who worked In Ben's office, and Ellen had seen him twice In a week. She grinned, and held up two fingers pressed close together. "Just like that. He'a coming again tonight. He'a one of these uncom plicated people, like I am." "Lucky devils! ' She said It hon estly and without bitterness. To be uncomplicated onough to accopt without rosentment and without question a complicated world. She pushed her empty glass aalde. "Let's go out and walk In the woods, whero It's clean. I want to get these smells out of my nose. . . ." rvENIS came with eight o'clock, U because one didn't call earlier than that, and because he couldn't wait longer than that. He burled hlmsolf from a roadster that gleamed darkly tinrlor the street light and ran up Mra. O'Connor's un adorned walk. From tha shadows nf the porch Carol'a voice checked him. "Is there a fire?" "Oh." She was a blur of whits against the dingy cushions of a swing. He went over and sat down beside her, and his hurry folded Its wings. "1 Just wanted to sea It you were like I remembered you. A lot of drlnka and a audden enthusiasm can throw you protty hard." He could say that now. becausa her voice In the dark had been enough to ro-ombody her. Ho leaned back and took her hand; felt It lie quint and tentative in his. She didn't ask whether his enthusiasm had thrown him; she knew that tha ad mission Implied a negative, He said casually: "Now begin at the begin ning, Carol, and toll me how corns."
