On Tbe Warpath WITH undisguised pleasure, Asey Mayo abandoned himself to a prolonged survey of the new post office. Opened the day before, that post office had played the beanstalk which overnight sprouted Quanomet into the headlines, lifting it forever from its unquestioned posi- tion as Cape Cod's forgotten hamlet. For twenty years, while others sprightlier towns continued to burgeon and flourish, Quanomet had steadily withered and decayed. Finally, when people recalled the place sufficiently to mention it at all, they spoke in tones of deepest condolence. Poor Quanomet, they said, Poor Quanomet, it's Gone to Seed. But Quanomet, thanks to the post office, had sprouted. Ordinarily Quanomet would have been thrilled to the core by the picture of Asey rolling along Main Street in his newest stream lined Porter aixteen roadster. But that Friday noon, Asey was not even noticed. He got only the shortest of nods from the state cop who was helping unsnarl traffic in Depot Square. Reporters, who usually dogged the heels of the - man they had popularized as 'The Hired Hand de Luxe," "The Hay seed Sherlock," "The Homespun "Well," she said, "the Civil War's a fat Aunt Jemima in the far left panel, frying pancakes. Grant is badly burned." In the general shushing that fol lowed Asey's unrestrained roar of laughter, he and the girl tiptoed outside to the pink steps. "I shouldn't have let myself go," Asey said, leaning weakly against one of the chromium pillars. "What's that artist wastin' his time on federal pictures (or? With a in Quanomet all the year round, but he could not imagalne what possible charm or opportunity the place held for her. "Oh, I do most anything to earn money," she told him with com plete candor. "In a nice way, of course, I've done any number of things for Peg Boone's stuff. I'm ladies with dlshpan hands, and gray sheets Heavens, it's nearly one o'clockl I've got to dash." "Wait a second," Asey said with sudden inspiration. "If you still like sailin', why not come back to Wellfleet with me, an' help me try out this new craft of mine that's just been delivered?" "The new Marv B? Oh. Asev. I saw her Monday, in the creek She's a beautyl I'd love to go. But I've got this new crop of boarders to feed" " "Of boarders? Whose boarders?" "Father and I and Octagon House." Pam said, "we have board ers, with stewed prunes for break fast. Our first two boarders, Asey, not prunesl They came today, and it behooves me to put my best foot forward. They re very nice more decent than most, and fathei can't be trusted to cope with a whole meal. He's absent minded Spectacular Tire Safety Test Will Be Held Wednesday Ont of those thlngi that have to fee seen to be believed, the blowout of a tire on a car traveling at up ward ot 60 miles an hour without fjrioua consequences of any kind, is to be shown In Medford on Wed nesday, June 1. This demonstration will be staged at Fourteenth street and South riverside. Local police au thorities have consented to the dem on At ration and will assist in con ducting It. The purpose of this apparently dangerous but really routine per formance la to prove that In a car equipped with Llfeduards, tire fail ure at any speed Is no more danger ous than a slow leak. The blowout la Induced either by means of rail road spikes firmly fixed In heavy steel plates or by dynamite caps detonated from within the car. The casing la ripped to shreds, but the car remains In control of the driver and Is brought to a smooth, safe stop without weaving or leaving the road. The explanation, according to C. O. Furnas, local tire dealer, la that the UfeOuard. a re serve tire within a tire. Is not af fected by the destruction of casing or tube but holds air long enough to enable the car to be stopped. The LlfeOuard la a two-play tire plnced within the regular tube, to which It la Joined at the base. They are inflated through the aame valve . When the tube Is auddenly deflated, ft tiny vent allows the air to pass lowly from the reserve tire of the UfeOuard, which meanwhile sup ports the car. As the LlfeOuard re serve tire floats freely within the tube. It "gives" with sharp objects that puncture casing and tube, In stead of being ripped. Although the demonstrations are conducted by factory representative, there Is no special premium on skilled driving or coolness. Attorla Mtife Bobbed ASTORIA, May 38.

"Say it, Asey," she advised pleasantly. "Don't try to hold in." Sleuth" today they dismissed Asey with a languid wave. Parking his roadster in the square's last available slit of space, Asey Joined the crowd mill ing towards the post office. The building would have inspired un abashed awe in a good sized me tropolis. In Quanomet it assumed an aura of complete unreality. For the most part the structure was red brick, but here and there whimsical areas of concrete had been Introduced. The front pillars wero dazzling chromium, the steps pink granite, the windows were strangely barred casements. A self-conscious placard announced that the architecture was Early Colonial Modified. "Modification my eye!" Asey . murmured. "It's out an' out repeal. Wowl" Inside he found most of the sum mer residents of the Cape, gazing up in spellbound fascination at the mural. Asey gazed, too, Peace, her wings protruding irom oeacn pajamas, was starting a side chancery on a clam digger, who resented it vigorously Ignor ing three heavily armed apes in gas masKs who Belabored her irom virtually every angle. Peace beamed down at a stalwart youth whose full nelson on Capital was definitely getting results. Capital, Asoy decided, was mighty sick. From the clam digger's left knee tottered a leering British Grena dier, and a pirate hugging a mussed Red Cross nurse. Near her, two tired women stirred something steaming in a kettle. Out of the steam emerged a Model T Ford driven by a child who looked like Shirley Temple. Myles Standish sat in a cramped position on the spare tire, making faces at John Alden and a tubercular Indian. 'Bewitching Marina' "UMIEEI" Asey said. "Wheeel" ' ' He didn't realize that he had spoken out loud till the girl stand ing beside him chuckled. Say it, Asey," she advised pleasantly. "Don t try to hold in." "Do you suppose, Asey asked, wondering who she was. "that feller with the scythe who's float in' on top is he death, or the tax collector?" "He's father, and 1 think he's got grounds for libel. Have you come to the Civil War yet?" Asey shook his head and tried to figure out where he had met this girl before who so obviously knew him. She had a nice voice and a nice laugh, a well tanned lace and wide bi brown eyes. sense of humor like that, he'd ought to be sellin' things over the radio. My, I'd like to meet him." The girl looked at him quiz zically. "I don't think," she re marked, "that you would. Not un less you ve changed a lot since I knew you. You see, the artist has no sense of humor. Not a whit." Go onl Asey didn t believe her. He don'tl" "He's Jack Lome, my brother- in-law," she said, "and it pains me to say I speak the truth about him. After the tumult and the shouting die, come over to the house some day. and I'll take you over to their place and Introduce you. That is, if you'll promise not to hurl any thing very Urge. Most people want to. "What house do I get you from?" Ascy's eyes twinkled. Pamela Frye OU mean, who am I anywoy? Oh, Asey, I'm so crushed! I was so sure you recognized me. I live in Octagon House" "Octagon Housel" Asey said. "The oldeight sided Sparrow place why, I ain't thought about that In years. That makes you Pamela Frye, an' you mustn't hold my not rcmemberin' against me. It ain't often that a spindly little shrimp like you was. Pam. grows into such a nice lookin' young lady as you are. Sure I remember you now. I taught you to sail a '-.oat" "It's still the thing I do best." "An' you used to drive me crazy," Asey said "always wantin' to go ashore to hunt for ambergris. Mormn'. noon an' night, you combed the shore for ambergris." "And 1 still do." Pam Frye said. "I still do, in spite of what every one, including my excellent and talented sister, says. Look, come over In a few days and I'll show vnil .Tnrlf I .nrna anrl thm httr i t-h i n a Marina. Don't look so puzzled, you Knew her too. brie was plain Mary Hosannah Frve In those davs. but she's turned out to be the bewitch ing Marina Lome.

I'm one of those weary wenches next the ket tle, but happily po one's recog nized me yet." "You model, too?" Asev. whose curiosity rarely pot the better of hi'Ti. unashamedly pumped. The girl interested him. Somehow he got the impression that she lived Look, will you ask me sailing next week, when Quanomet's back to normal? Is that a dote7 And in return, I'll display the Mighty Jack and the Bewitching Marina." 'Wide Open' AS SHE paused to light a ciga rette, it suddenly occurred to Asey that never in all his life had ho heard such hatred as Pam's quiet voice held while speaking of her sister and brother-in-law. "I'll even show you," she went on, "Father's collection of odd and curious clocks, and oh, look at those tourists eating their filthy lunches in the old cemeteryl What horrid people! I suppose it's what comes of headlines." "The headlines won't last," Asey assured her. "You don't know the half of it. This town is torn wide open. Quan omet's in upheaval." "What's it upheavin' about?" Asey inquired. "The new P. O.?" "That, and the mural, and Jack Lome. They never did want the post office, they loathed the thought of the mural, and they've cordially disliked Jack for the five years lies been here. And in the mural he's been unwise and mis guided enough to caricature half the town." "Come to think of it" "Yes. Y'-i co caoe acain." Pam said, " ,v ' ou'll see why fifty Der cent of Quanomet itches to tar and leather Jack Lome, and why the other fifty per cent is convinced that tarring and feathering is far too good for him. What's going to happen when they finally come to their senses and begin to realize that Jack hasn't the brains to be that malicious all by himself, with out outside inspiration!" wno prompted him? Asey knew the answer even before he asked the question. "Three guesses," Pam said tart ly. "Thank heaven, the town likes rather even though they secretly think he's slightly daft, and I play the church organ and help run the Women's Club, so I'm reasonably safe. But what's going to happen to the rest of the family. I can't hear to think. Quanomet's aroused for the first time since I've known the place. It's on the warpath And some of the mutterings are down right ugly. And if these headlines keep up " "They won't, ' Asey said. But they did. fCHmttl.
