Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX After A Man's Heart by JEAN RANDALL .STERDAY. But bt&nt to tht proteetlenl tht onct reiervtd lor her parents on tht Indifferent !nn!ld Tim Corliji. Hit friend and partner, Georgt Weekei, U rummoned to cheer Tim up. Chapter Five George Weekei rwn weplu went by. three; and 1 the only real change at the ranch was Tim's promotion to crutches which allowed him to come downstairs once a day. This usually haoDened about four o'clock, and he stayed down until his early bedtime. George Weekes came often to visit his partner. "Yon nueht to charee me board h tnld Bufl. "Or maybe I earn my vittles by taking old Tim off your hands for a wnne. no noi exacug thrilling company these days. There was a hint of interrogation in his voice, question in the way he looked at her, but sne cnose 10 ig nore everything but his actual words. "Oh. he's coming along nicely now. Dr. Westland is quite pleased with him." "That's a darned nice girl," George informed Tim upstairs a few minutes later, i-reuy, iuu. Or had you noticed?" "I I'm afraid 1 hadn't." The other man was apologetic but still vague. "She's a kind little person.' He nn'sned his hand over his fore head. "Now you speak of it, it oc curs to me she's given me a lot of her time and hasn't bothered me witii questions. V.'eckes said pointedly: "She's prrity! Did you hear mo tell you an"" "Her name Is Buff." Tim had the air of a man who has performed his whole dutv. "And you think that describes her, my dear cnapf rar, lar irom it. I have an idea it's a nickname, earned by her achievements as shock-absorber. Any notion what cobr her hair is?" Tim shook his head. "It's like gold, flaw yellow gold. You used to be familiar with the color, old man. How come you to miss it now? True, she wears it as unobtrusively as possible, but it's gorgeous hair, just the same. Her cyrs " He stopped for Corliss' big hands were opening and closing; there was a fine beading of per spiration along his upper lip. "George, tell me . . . I've been trying to get up enough nerve to ask you every time you come. Have you is there " Weeks replied baldly: "You're wanting to ask me if there's any further news of Iris DcMuth. The answer is: no; and God be thanked for that," he ended piously. Silence fell upon the room. Be nca'h the open window came the sound of voices: Buff Carrol! sp -a'ting to Atkins; Atkins' almost inaudible reply. Suddenly words pa'.' ea trom Tim uornss in a tor rcn' "C'oorge, I can't yet believe HI That it happened to me, I meanl I wake up in the night and I think it s something 1 dreamed some thing I read in the paper. She was is so sweet, so . . . wnen sne miles, George, it's absolutely in credible that she . . . but even if I distrusted my own knowledge there's you, of course. The thing is what torments me is thinking that perhaps I could have prevent ed it. If it hadn't been for my damn' carelessness if I hadn't gone to Idaho Springs for those ten days " "Pipe down, old man," his friend saiil gently. "Remember it wasn't onlv Iris. There was Latshaw, too." Advice AT this, Tim's face went down into his hands and he sat so till that a belated butterfly sailed in and alighted on his shoul der. George viewed the pretty thing with bitter eyes. Just so had Iris Iris of the wistful eyes and graceful limbs come to rest against the bigness and simplicity and belief in the goodness of all women that was Tim Corliss; rested briefly and moved her painted wings and flew away. But unlike the butterfly, she had left a poisoned barb behind. With an abrupt movement Weekes startled the insect into night. "Snap out of it, guy!" he ad monished his partner. "It's over and done with; nothing left for you for us but to forget the whnlo infernal business." "If only you hadn't been drawn Into it, George!" They had been over this ground many times. Weekes made the onlv answer that helped the other. "I was, and that's that; and the sooner you get well enough to take your nlarc in the office, the sooner we'll both be on the upgrade again. You owe it to mo, Tim, to shake this off as quickly as possible." Tim's face was haggard but pur poseful when he lifted it. "Ye j." he assented And again, "Yes, I'm coming along, com ing along. In another week or two " His friend studied him anxious ly. It didn't seem to him that Cor liss was making improvement. George thrust his hands in his pockets and pondered. As a result of Uis thoughts, he approached E ON HEADS OF 25 SHANGHAI. O't. 11. ( AP)-The 2Rth nnnlveranry of rMnbllAhmtnt of the Chliu-B republic wns mrtrkrd today by p pen rime of circular purporting to offer 10,000 Chlnrne dollars for the killing of WniiK ChtiiR Wct. dissident former premier of the cent ml government.

"Buff you don't mind If I call you Buff, d'you? Thanks. I'd like your advice, if you'd be kind enough to give it." "Advice?" She reached for a bit of wild sage, sniffed its clean fragrance. "What about?" "Tim. I'm worried about him. Not his leg. That's coming along all right, Westland says." "I know what you mean." Her small face assumed a look of gravity to match his own. "He's upset about something, terribly upset. It isn't only overwork, is It as he told me?' "No, it's not overwork. Tim's strong as a horse. He he had a shock. A bad one. I wonder it 1 ought to tell you about it?" "Please don't. It's sort of taking advantage of his being here, don't you think? Suppose we just let it go at what you've said: he's had a shock. It's affected his health." She smiled at him suddenly and he jumped. "What can we do to help him?" "Golly!" said the startled young man. "That's some smile of yours. Did you ever turn it on Tim?" "I don't know; he wouldn't know either. I might turn flipflops all over his room, or stick out my tongue at him I doubt if he'd notice. I'm just a voice to him That's all right, too," she went on comfortably. "All he needs at pres ent is a nice soothing voice. The impingement of another person ality " "Hey!" he exclaimed, aggrieved. "If it's psychology, I don't know any. And if it's classical English, I majored in mining and civil en gineering. Please don't go high hat on me." 'A Love Affair?' SHE explained with youthful dig nity. "I simply meant that un less I can keep myself in the back groundpart of the scenery, in fact Tim will depart hence. If that clear to you? If you want to know," she continued with a hlnl of malice, "it's about all he can en dure to have you here. 1 let you come 1 n.slc you to come! because it's good for him. But what he'd really like is to sink back into hi; thoughts ond just remember what ever it was that happened to him That's what he was doing when I got here. It was a love affair wasn't it?" "Thought you didn't want to hear about it?" he grinned. "Bui yes, it was a love affair; at leost, that was part of it. What really happened was that the sky fell down on Tim, the earth broke up into chunks beneath his feet . . the world, for the time being at least, came to an end for him. He's trying to pick himself up again The trouble is he think's it isn't worth while. He'd sooner go down into oblivion than make the ef fort." "Then why doesn't he? 1 mean why is he really fighting to put this experience behind him? Be cause of you?" "A little; but mostly because he'i a real man," he assured her earn estly. "If you knew the whole story and some day you're going to know it you'd realize that Tim's rather taken a beating, in more ways than one." He cleared his throat. "You've been kind to him. Go on being so, will you?" Just before he left the ranch Sunday afternoon he concluded his Boy Scout endeavors, this time in the direction of Tim. "Listen, fellow!" He leaned for ward, his hands swinging loosely between his knees. "You might show a little appreciation of Buff's efforts to look after you, you know!" "Look after me! Why should she or any other girl look after me? I'm no child even" his mouth twisted wryly "even if I did be have like one!" "I mean showing you hospi tality, and all that, his partner hastily corrected himself. "She's a kind little person and" inspira tion descended upon him like a gift from heaven "not too happy herself. I got a distinct impression that she's passing through some trouble of her own." It was the right note. Tim looked at the girl with a new gaze when they next met; really looked at her. tier Blue eyes did seem shaciowed, he thought, and he seemed to re member that once or twice they had showed signs of recent tears. From that time on he was curi ously gentle with her. Just as Buff found relief to her surcharged heart in tending Tim. so he les sened at least to a slight degree hi.i own dumb agony by meeting the girl halfway. "Tell me about your father," he would urge. He soon found that to talk of her parents was what Buff wanted. She would launch into a monologue which had to do with Lance's cleverness, Eleanor's sweetness, the casual life all three Carrolls had lived. Tim usually heard nothing beyond the first few sentences. Nor did Huff require his attention. She sat in the window seat, hugging her knees and look ing toward the range as she talked: Tim lost himself in his own bitter memories. Thev made a curious pair. Mrs. Webb used to think, waddling into the room with glass of milk for Tim, or to an nounce a meal. Continued tomorrow. K uoml n t ti n s ( govert mien t party ) al.inR witu her husbnnd.
