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

a week or so. Too bad Bun hasn't
room for us, but then the hotel's

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

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

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. It issued a brief state
ment saving the move
made to Insure "an orderly and
equitable liquidation of its af
fairs" Attorneys explained that the
bankruptcy section, chapter 11,
could be invoked only when
the debtor was threatened with
involuntary bankruptcy pro
ccedings against it.
Federal Judge Harold Loud
erback issued the temporary re
straining order permitting the
fair to continue operating up to
its announced closing date of
October 29 under the present
management and prohibiting
filing of any collection suits
against it.
Meanwhile, the exposition
which started with the hope
20,000.000 persons would pay
to see It, and which has gar
nered high praise from visitors
the world over for its scope and
beauty, was registering attend
ances still under 10.000.000.
Vndaunted by developments,
a group of business men pro
moters went ahead today with
their efforts to raise a needed
SI. 640.000 to re-open the fair
next year "under new manage
ment."

(UP) A partridge flew through
window in the city hospital
operating room today, and when
first aid was rushed to it the
frightened bird crashed ii lo im
other window, cutting its throat
and dying.

FIRST AT THE POLE
Sought for 2.234 years, since the Greek Pytheas first crossed the Arctic Circle in 325 B.C.,
the North Pole was conquered in 1S09 when Commander Robert E. 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.
