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

"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.

course, I've done any number of
things for Peg Boone's stuff. I'm

"Wait a second," Asey said with
sudden inspiration. "If you still

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

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.

'Wheel" Asey said. "Wheeel" The girl standing beside him chuckled. "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

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

got the impression that she lived

return, I'll display the Mighty Jack

'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.
