Bug confettet to her molher (ha! the If "head over heelt oboul Tim." Chapter 14 A Father's AcMce TEITHER woman wa surprised IN to have Lance arrive early with Tim, bewildered and little angry, in tow. f.ance triumphantly exhibited a notebook crammed wim iKetcnei "Got 'em haneina around Cor liss's office." he explained. "Won derful place. Corkine types fcl eanor, 1 think we'll stay on here a week or so. Too bad Bun hasn't room for us, but then the hotel's comfortable enough. Corliss has fTomised to show me some types hat will fit right into my plans for the new series. Buff was demure and quiet all through the meal. Lance's exuber ance made any other attitude 1m. possible, and ft pleased her to see Tim thawing out minute by min ute, under the genuine interest the older man displayed In his work. Confronted by Buff's father, and feeling an apology due for his long stay at the ranch, Tim had tried to put into words sometnmg or wnat had happened to him. He was halfway through his second stumbling sentence when the cartoonist gripped him excited ly by the arm. "Look at that fellow outsidel Tim, my boy, go out and engage him in conversation for five min utes, will you? Five will do though if you could make It ten . . . get a wove onr Toward the end of the afternoon, when Lance firmly annexed him (or dinner, Tim made a second and more determined effort. "Mr. Carroll, about Buff. I think Ton ought to know " "I know Buff, and that's all that's necessary." Lance chuckled. "If she s picked you as her partner for the march up a church aisle, my boy, you might as well give up first as last. What that daughter of mine wants she gets ntgardless. Its simpler to yield than to fight, I've found." Tim's Jaw set stubbornly. "You must do as you think best, of course, sir, but remember I'm not her father; I'm not related to her in any way. I want to make it clear to you that Buff is staying in Boulder because she chooses to, not because of any persuasion on my part." Lance nodded, turned his head to view with admiration a grizzled man who might be either a WPA worker, or a miner, Tim thought with grim amusement. The Carrolls spent ten days In Boulder. Lance was here, there and everywhere in his usual friendly way. The Denver and Boulder papers were highly excited by his pres ence and he was generous with in terviews. Bud did not know whether it was by chance or by intention Hint each newspaper slory contained some mention of Timothy Lorliss, friend and recent guest of the famous artist. What ever the motive, the effect was beneficial. George caught Buff alone and told her, smiling radiantly, that Tim was now the town's white headed boy, his recent escapade with Iris DeMiith apparently for gotten by popular consent. The evening before her parents left, they had a serious talk with their only child. Queorly enough it was Lance who began it. "Huff, that young man of yours is all right," he announced. She said wryly, "If he only were my young man! But he behaves as though I had a peculiarly loath some form of leprosy, or some thing." Burned Child" CARROLL shook his head in dulgently. "Defense mechanism. He's a lot more attracted to you than he knows himself, or would admit if he did know, lie's a burned child Just now and doesn't realize that when winter sets in a fire is going to afford a grateful warmth if used In moderation. Stick around. Buff! Cold weather comes early up here" "That's honestly your advice, Lfnce?" Father and daughter exchanged a ng look; a look which made EI .mor feel momentarily isolated She reminded herself' that Buff had always been more Lance's child than hers: touched with his genius, endowed with his ability to get his own way. gifted with his hanpy-go-lucky charm. "My advice honestly. At least for a few months. Between us. Weekes and 1 have hauled him out of his shell for the time being at least." To her amazement he tossed his notebook of sketches onto the table. "No earthly use to me, of course; but priceless as a means of putting Tim in touch with his fel low men after last summer's de bacle. He's out now of his shell. I mean. It's up to you to keep him there, my little one." Buff, grasping the significance of these ten days wasted as far as Lance's own wck was con cernedlaid her cheek against her father's hand. "You're you're pretty swell, darling," she told him huskily. "And if I can't carry on from where you're leaving off, 1 don't deserve him." "Or he doesn't deserve you!" Eleanor could not forbear the comment. Lance disposed of the subiect so far as he was concerned. "Tim's all right What happened to him might have happened to any young fellow. The thing is that he's not played enough got around to see people. He's made a fetish of work and responsibility. When he thought he'd failed at both, and lost his ideal woman be sides, the sky fell or so he be lieved. Give him a little time to re gain his sense of proportion." He rose, stretching his big frame In relief. "You're perfectly safe here with Mrs. Webb. You ought to have enough spare time to do a little writing. Won't hurt Tim to realize you nave other interests, you know. I think your mother and I will go to Bermuda. Early enough to escape the tourists. Kiss your fond parents good by, dear child, and don't forget to writel" "Letters, stories or one act plays?" Buff called after him. "All of 'em!" He swept his wife from the doorway where she lingered, gazing mournfully at Buff. "Come along, sweet! Remem ber that our train leaves at an un godly hour tomorrow morning!" Popularity THE friendly little town of Boulder took Buff to its heart almost overnight. Tim Corliss, coming dutifully and reluctantly to pay a late afternoon call on his erstwhile hostess, was arrested by sounds of hilarity from the living room. "I didn't know Miss Buff was having a party," he said to Webby, who had admitted him. "No more she is: unless you call every afternoon a party. Miss Buff and me, we decided we might as well serve tea every day. These here young folks that drop in are alwavs hungry. You go right on In, Mr. Corliss, she urged hospitably. "Miss Buff'll sure be glad to see you!" If she was, she restrained her delight admirably, he told himself. He found her the center of a laughing group of young people, some from the University, some older. They sat upon the floor, they filled the couches and armchnirs to overflowing, they were very much at home, he thought with a trace or resentment. One of them in particular aroused his disap proval. "Mr. VanLander, Mr. Corliss," said Buff demurely. "Van's a neighbor of mine, it turns out: lives in the apartment just above." "Van," already, thought Tim. He surveyed the neighbor with ap- uiiMsniK eyes ana was iar irom liking what he saw. Young VanLander Tim grave ly doubted that he would ever see the late twenties again had hair a shade too long, lashes like a movie actress's, and a vocabulary which was evidently his own pride ana toy Dut which fell harshly upon the ear of the voung assayer "Cup o" tea?" Van inquired brightly. "Ogle-dogle! Get it for you in a sec!" He ceremoniously presented hi. own chair to Tim; ''as if I were ninety, or thereabouts," Tim mused with hostility. When the tea was brought. Van doubled hit long legs perilously close to the other man's feet. ("If he onlv knew how they itch to kick him!") "Cosy little foint here. eh. what?" he began. "Nice child, our hostess, in spite of having brains Personally I prefer women to hr as nearly devoid of gray matter as is compatible with making a man comfortable. But Buff " "Are you speaking of Miss Car roll?" inquired Tim coldlv. Van stared. "None other: hut why the formality? Buff is much easier to say, believe me! Lucky break for me, having her move in to this apartment. I'm perpetually out of groceries I'm mv own housekeeper, you see and Bud and dear old Webby come to mv resrue." "What else do you do beside? honsekeep?" An expression of deep gravitv settled upon the other's face. Continued tomorrow. I FILED 10 CHECK COLLECTION SUIT San Francisco, Oct. 21. (AP) The world's fair on Treasure island did a brisk business at the same old stands today, but It was operating under a fed eral court restraining order pre venting anyone from suing to collect $4.fi06,R14 in unpaid debts. The exposition board of man agers filed proceedings In fed eral court yesterday under a special section of the emergency bankruptcy law a section deal ing particularly with unsecured creditors.

Britain's Royal Air Force may soon be ordered to abandon their leaflet warfare and go into bombing action for the first time since the first week of the war, if German air raids continue on Scotland.

Peary, four Eskimos and an American Negro were first at the world's top. Peary chose Matthew A. Henson lo go with him because he considered the powerful youth the best dog-driver living. Pearyordered Henson to precede him and on April 6, 1909, Henson found he had crossed the top of the world and was heading south. Forty-five minutes later Peary caught up with him and the party returned about one mile. Henson is alive and well today. He lives in New York City. MONDAY: Painters' War.
