Sht disregard! her parents instmettoni to return to Chicago, and moaes to Boulder to be near Tim. She telii George Tim will marry her. Chapter 12 New Establishment THROUGOUT the day George contrasted Buff, her small en ergetic figure, her a?ile mind and her self-reliance, with the help, less and appealing Iris. 'Fraid old Tim's the kind that likes to be leaned on," he mused. "Iris got his number the first time she saw him. Golly! When she lilted those long lashes and gave him an I'm only - a girl please eome-to-my-rescue look, even I tarted figuring what I could do to help her. Buff, on the other hand, stands straight as a young aspen and defies all the winds of heaven to move her. I wonder " He found this line of meditation so profitless that he abandoned it, re alizing with a grin that he was de pending on Buff to work out her own plan for Tim's ultimate re covery. Tim accepted ths dinner Invita tion without hesitation. Whether his willingness came from George's inclusion, or whether belated gratitude for Buff's kindness dic tated it, his partner and friend cared not a whit. The important thing was to get Tim within the sphere of Buff's influence. They found her Installed In a five-roomed apartment, the ornate furnishings of which produced solemn amusement in its new tenant. She pointed out a large oil painting above the fireplact. "It was done bv a local artist," he explained. "Before I retire it to oblivion I'd like your separate opinions upon its subject. At first I thought it was the explosion of a featherbed on the shnte of an Italian lake. Then Mrs. V," bb said that it looked to her like a cherry orchard in full bloom 'in a desert sort of place. This morning the sun slanted on it and 1 became con vinced it was the surrealist's idea of a cottonflcld. Now. with the fire light and lamps, I'm beginning to waver, wnat do you ana Ueorge think. Tim?" George made opera glasses of his hands and retired to view the work of art from different angles. Final ly he announced that Buff was all wrong in her guesses. "It's a couple of dozen white filgcons trying to fly without using heir wings," he asserted. "Three of 'em are doing a darned good inb of it, too. One of 'em's two f shove ground." To the amazement of the others, lim joined in the nonsense. "I'm surprised at you both," he Ha id severely. "Don't you know Art when you see it? The painter has clearly depicted a busho! of popped corn being flung across the water. I suppose it's a summer resort of ........ Irln " Un U,s. ...!. QU1IIU niuu, IIC WUIl Ull kliuullb- fully. "and the stuff was neither buttered nor salted. The purchaser thus expressed his indignation." "We're all agreed on its being a waier scene or some kind uny way," Burt said with relief. "Now when I get used to one or two other trifling items in the place. I can seme flown, for instance, II you . want hot water in the bathtub you turn the knob Hint's marked waste.' And vice versa. And those two chairs that I've put in the corner and hedged off with a table re not to be relied upon. Even the original tenant Im sub-letting you know forgot and tried to sit on one, with alarming results. He weighs around two hundred, and I thought for a while I was going to have to call Mrs. Webb to help me jet mm to his feet. Tim ran his hand through his hair, always a sign of bewilder ment with him. "But why did you rent this apartment? ' he asked. His eyes went from the rug, against whose crimson background green and yellow flowers were flung, to the array of hideous ornaments on the mantelpiece. "There are plenty of nice places in Boulder. What made you choose this?" Gay Evening SHE shook her head but made no reply. Luckily Mrs. Webb came in at that moment and announced dinner. George rolled expressive eyes as he tasted his soup. "I hope you're going to ask us to dine here frequently." he said. "When I eat Mrs. Webb's cooking I realize I've practically starved when away from her " "What," Buff demanded cau tiously, "do you feel would be 'fre quently'?" "There are seven nights in each end every week," George said. "I don't want to presume on Rnmi na ture, and it's true that if and w hen you leave Boulder Tim and I will nave to subsist on what we receive t our boarding house. 1 think every othr evening would be a happy compromise, dnn't vou? That will give you time to miss us. If you like our company; or to rest up, if you don't. That strike you as fair and square. Tim?" "It does not," was the succinct answer. "Buff, pay no attention to him. His lower nature gets the bet ter of him when he's hungry After dinner he'll be more reasonable." It was a gay evening. Bull was careful to mate it so, avoiding any topic whicn mignt aisturo iun. "But just you wait, my dear bov." she mused when her guests had departed with enthusiastic thanks lor ner entertainment, i shall play a waiting game for a few days a week perhaps. After that the delugel She let both George and Tim severely alone for the next two days. Indeed it was George who telephoned to ask if she had for gotten about them, lost Mrs. Webb s vajuaote services, oi naa fallen into the lake depicted in the masterpiece over the mantel. "I've been busy," she said. "But you can both come out to dinner tonight, if you like." "If we like!" George threw sufficient feeling into the words to make other com ment unnecessary. But when he told Tim of his plans he encoun tered an unexpected obstacle. "Go if you wish and since you invited yourself 'm said. "But I have other plans." Questioned closely, he muttered of work to be done at the labora tory, "trying to catch up." George argued and pleaded in vain. Final ly he again had recourse to the telephone. "Tim says he can't come to night," he announced plaintively "Can't or won't?" inquired Buff "Says 'can't'; means 'won't'!" "Leave him to me!" So it was that when Tim emerged from his tiny office a lit tle after six, he found Buff's car parked in front and Buff herself slumped restfully in the seat. She had the air of having been in that position for hours. "Hop in!" she bade him. "Non sense, of course you'll come. Well, you can wash up in my bathroom as well as in your own, can't you? Your shirt s reasonably clean," she added, inspecting it critically. "Anyway Webby's heart will be broken if you aren't there to eat her biscuits." Very, Very Determined HE HESITATED, but the door she held open and the imperi ous gesture of her small hand were too much. He climbed in. Present ly he said: "Look here, Buff, it seems we'll have to talk this over after all. I hoped by this time you'd have tired of your efforts to look after me. I hoped your father would have sent for you. I hoped "You hoped to get rid of me. In fact!" Her tone was cheerful and she gave a little tilt to her perky hat. She looked gaminish and very, very determined. "You're wasting a lot of my time, Tim, and not do ing yourself any good either. But I'm prepared to let you drift a while. Tonight I want you to see what I've done to the apartment." She had done a great deal, he discovered. The too-cheerful rug had been replaced by a restful tan nish square. Several comfortable armchairs stood about. An open bookcase glowed with color from rows of volumes. The painted mon strosity above the mantel had dis appeared and a panel of Lance's cartoons, plainly framed, lent an impish note to the room. Ash trays stood conveniently about; the big square pillows on the couch were covered with whipcord. "Better?" she inquired. "Much better. And cost about a thousand dollars, I suppose." She produced a slip of paper which she shoved triumphantly in his unwilling hand. "Eighty-seven dollars and forty five cents," she announced. "Of course the cartoons and the books aren't included. I brought them from the ranch. But all the rest 1 paid spot cash for " "Imagination must be the strong point in the Carroll family." he said rudely. "I happen to have priced a couch similar to this my self. It was a hundred and forty five dollars. As for the rug " George, horrified, attempted to interrupt but Buff intervened calmly. "Both are secondhand," she said. 'The couch was all right as to springs but needed re-covering That stuff looks expensive but it s only glazed chintz. The rug was a bargain because it had a burned place in one corner. Webby and 1 put the biggest chair over that so you can't see it. A carpenter made and stained the bookshelves for me. You'll find them on that list $11.60. They're only pine though they do look like walnut," she con cluded complacently. "Golly, what a wife you'll make some man!" The words burst from George involuntarily. "I know I'm getting a bit thin on top, but then all the Weekes become bald pre maturely. Once you get that firmly fixed in your mind, it doesn't seem nearly so bad, Buff. And I know I'm er not slender, but I'm sure the right diet could correct all that. Do you think vou might consider me, darling?" She shook her head. "Sorry, George. I thought you knew Tim and I are practically en gaged." "We're not!" He glared at her. "It's all right to have your joke. Buff, but if you aren't careful peo ple will begin to talk. All college towns are gossipy, didn't you know that? How'd you like to have everybody taking you seriously on this subject?" "It gives me an Idea," she said. "Dinner, Webby? Come and eat, Tim. You won't he half so cross after you've been fed."
