Chapter 31
Denny Walk Out
"WELL, the worthies! panhiv
t dler!" Denny, tall end furloui.
the sun shining across his tossed (air
hair, took Eve In his arms. "My poor
darling little idiot, to think of your
letting them gyp you that wayl How
far back were they on boa.d?"
Eve laughed a little hysterically
against his shoulder. "All the wayl
And she didn't even put away the
butter."
. Denny released her, and whistled
as they took in the wrecked dining
room Marylln's hospitality had left In
its wake. A split glass of Eve pre
cious wine dripping across a big dish
of limp lettuce. A vegetable dish with
the remains of the peas. The big gray
coffeepot in the middle of a big stain
that spread across Aunt Line's best
damask tablecloth, meeting Jimmy
Katz's usual cigarette hole. A alop
of red-and-whlte that had been Ice
cream; a woodei dish with the but
ter melted by the warmth of the day.
Marylin had fried both the chickens
Uncle Henry haa killed for Sunday,
and the remains were on one end of
the biggest platter. Jimmy Kati had
been hospitably given of Eve's best.
Denny followed Eve in as the began
mechanically to tidy the table. He
laughed, too, though he swore.
"Hollywood orgyl" he said, and
reached for a chicken leg at he
perched on a chair arm. Then he
frowned. Eve felt better. Denny's
anger for her was comforting.
"Hollywood orgy," she agreed, pil
ing plates.
"Precious, this leaves you In a hell
of a hole."
She realized at he spoke Just how
deep the hole was. Her own savings
nearly gone, and no Featherstone
money till goodness knew when if
ever for repayment or expenses
ahead. She couldn't expect Denny to
pay everything for thla big house
even if they married on the spot
Taxes repairs well, thank good
ness, she had Denny behind her,
gnawing his chicken bone gaily In his
white shirt and gray trousers on the
chair arm In the sunset light As she
passed, piling the dirty plates, mak
ing the table a little less dreadful,
he put his unoccupied arm around her
again.
'Judge Is Ihe Bother'
"T TNCLE HENRY can be given back
KJ to the Indians any time, of
course. Judge Is the bother," he said.
frowning in thought. "1 wonder If
there's anybody who would advance
the kid's carfare to Hollywood? Trou
ble Is everybody knows the Feather
stones never pay their debts."
"But, Denny, I can't turn an Invalid
child out (Ike a cat"
"Sweet you talk as If he wasn't a
Featherstone! That kid has been
checked around and left on people's
hands all his lite. He's led the life of
a library bookl He doesn't know any
thing else."
"But that's why, the doctor said,
he's In the condition he Is."
"His condition Isn't your affair, Eve.
Your affair la to get married to a fine
young man who has a swell Job, and
come live In New York with him,
and have weekends at Southampton,
and a nice little honeymoon et Nas
sau." He laid down his bone and fin
ished the claret In the bottle and
amiled up at her.
She leaned against him, feeling sud
denly tired and confused.
"But 1 can't break my promise to
him."
He looked at her in surprise.
"Darling, you don't care more for
Judge than you do for me, do you?"
"Of course not. But throwing him
out now might smash him for good.
The doctor said "
"It would mean postponing our
marriage again!"
"I don't see wh- at alll"
"Well, but my craiy lamb, we can't
etart married Ufa with a ready-made
nervously-smashed son. Be reason
able. 1 promised MIUI maybe I'd
aweep you off with me to her place
even today. Leis drive back now.
There's a regatta tomorrow night and
a big dance tonight We'll pick a few
more bones and leave a note for Uncle
Henry and drive till about nine, land
ing on Long Island in the excellent
moonlight I'll get Mita to send the
.ad out by Jove, bright thought!
And Monday, what do you say we get
all married?"
She could only say helplessly again,
"But I promised him I'd keep him. A
child who trusts me, Denny"
"For the matter of that 1 promised
Mltz you and 1 would turn up for the
old regatta. I thought you could pack
what you wanted and tie up some
strings. I like my promise best."
He was smiling at her winnlngly,
Denny's own flashing smile of happi
ness over a good party.
'Toe Voat love Me Enough'
"rvEN, ccr.'l yuu ft it's lililerent?"
Lf "Well, 1 fc';n't ki.or what to do,"
ha J:d despairingly. "You mean you
won't go to Miul'i u.d get rid of the
child, after I mane these arrange

"But how can I?"
He nlKiuicrl. "All 1 see for It then Is
to go back without yo'..."
"Denny Just tn-.-ause I can't put
that poor little cl.llu out?'
"I never saw anyone so stubborn!"
Denny said angrily. "Or.ce for all. Eve.
it's the only thing to do unless you
feel he's more to you then I am."
"That Isn't the point, Denny!"
"It is the point." Denny had sud

enough to turn the boy .ver to his
parents so you can marry me, the
only thing I see (or me to do Is to go
to Mitzi's alone, and give you a chance
to decide about 1. I didn't think It of
you. Eve."
"But. Denny, of course I'll go to
Mi til's If you like. Only I can't send
Judge away."
"That s your decision?
"It Isn't a decision!"
"Sounds like It to me." He stood up.
flinging his coat across his shoulder
"Once and for all. Eve "
'Denny, don't you see that 1 can't?"
'All right. I have your answer. Tel
ephone me if you change your mind."
He picked up Lis bag and walked
out. Before she could run after him
or cry out he was whirling down the
road In the old car. Aghast, she stood
watching him from the doorway.

Jamulul Klrmnn II. Sultan of the
Sulu group In the Philippine Islands,
agreed to do all he could to prevent
his subjects from warring against
Americans In return for the tribute

Great Britain paid the Sultan a sim

he was the nominal owner. The Sul

Mosquito Caller. ,
Hog-calling and husband-calling
contests are quite common. Perhaps
a promoter of such events will branch
out some day and hold a mosquito
calling contest. It actually can be
done.
The male mosquito has a sharp
sense of hearing for certain tones or
sound waves. His feather antennae
serve as ears and can pick up the
sound of a female mosquito's "song"
from distance far beyond human
earshot. The male, upon hrnring th-j
female, faces the direction from
whence the sound cornea and then
files directly towards It. The hum

male mosquitoes from almost incred
