Tim up.

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

"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

Buff late that afternoon when Tim
was installed on the veranda, his
crutches close at hand.
"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.
