PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1939. After A Man's Heart . by JEAN RANDALL YVSTERDAV. Lane Carroll drawi Tim out ot hit shell- Their friendship helps Tim'i tlandfnp in Boulder. After her porenO leaue, Buff enter fnlo an active social Ute Chapter 15 Soupy Bulls BUFFS cozy apartment was filled urilh a lanfhine erouo of young people. Van, one of Bull's satel lites, aroused Tim's disapproval at once. "What do you do?" Tim asked him. "I model In soap." "You what?" "Model in soap. It's one of the newer arts. Soap is a softer me dium than marble and - though this shouldn t be taKen inio con lirlfratinn 1 ess expensive. Im doing a rather good thing of Bud now: three incnes nign, iuii length." "Does she know it?" The artist shook his head. "My dear, no, ind I hope you nmn't tell ler: it ruins spontaneity to have the model conscious of posing. Here a little and there a little her upflung arm one day. her ankles another Tim found the idea of this p -son's concern will. Buff's ankles singularly repellent. "What." he demanded, "shall you do with your figure when it's completed?" "Sell it. Oh, 1 always sell my things," he .went on cheerfully. "Not for anything like their true value, of course, but even l sculp tor must eat. There's a gift shop in town which handles my work with some profit to us both. ' "And how much do you expect to get for this this masterpiece?" "A dollar and eighty cents," sighed Van. "The shop takes the rest as its commission." "Not this one!" Tim spoke sharp ly. "So far as any figures of Miss Carroll are concerned, they're al ready sold to me." The artist grinned and ran his fingers through his hair, increas ing his appearance of artistic di ihevelment. "Opens a nice little avenue for blackmail, if you get mel But Art comes first with me always. Be fore I execute your commissions oh, joy and gladness, at last I'm using that longed-for combination of wordsl I have tc know what you will do with the figu. i.ies." "Dissolve 'em in waterl" Van shook his head. "There goes weekly payment on my grocery bill," was his mournful comment. "'. was afraid you were like that. D'you think I'm goinf! to toil with skill and a paring knife for hours only to have you make a suds of Buft? Nay, not so. and no. no, Na nette!" "Then I'll keep 'em," Tim prom ised recklessly. "Not more than one a week, however; and aside from not destroying 'em, it's none of your business what 1 do with 'em. Is that perfectly clear?" "Perfectly. Van scrambled to his feet and raised his voice, wav ing a long arm toward the seeth ing Tim. "Friends, behold my pa tron! I have a weekly commission from him indefinitely. On the strength of funds to come I invite you all to eat scrambled eggs and saltines with me ne: . Saturday night. I knew if I held on long enough success would surely come!" Tim, feeling as though he had borne as much of this sort of thing as he could, departed abruptly. In a few days a small box was delivered at his boardinghouse. It was plastered with labels, warn ing all beholders that It was "Fragile," "Perishable," "Break able, but Its flimsy container was little or no protection to the figure within. Tim took it out and viewed it carefully, hoping or fearing that several serious accidents en route accounted for its appearance. If it was as it had left the creator's hands, then Tim was paying two perfectly good dollars a week for practically nothing at all; for by no stretch of the imagination could Burt be recognized in the weird object thus disclosed. Beyond the fact that it was female and pre sumably human, It looked like nothing on earth. Booby Prize?" U.'EEKES came in and found him ' ' staring at it. "Booby prize at a baby party?" was his cheerful inquiry. "Snap, Isn't it? I don't advise using it, Tim. You might cut yourself on all those sharp lines. Tim put it on his closet shelf. "1 think you're right, George Don't be surprised if you see more of them appear. It's my wav of con tributinc to the Community Chest. Hint's all." Ho took occasion to make a tour of the gift shops in the town. In a window he found several of the soap figurines. Even while his sur prised gaze rested on the display, a clerk's hand withdrew the most hideous. Presently a woman came out. bearing triumphantly a parcel which Tim was surt contained one of the VanLander master pieces. Tim wandered away In a trance. 'That makes three dollars and eighty cents he's earned earned? good Lord! this week. 1 suppose on the strength of It he will give Thompson Creek Thompson Creek, Oct. 23 (Spl.) Mr. nnd Mrs. C. D. Vro man of Phoenix visited at the Bud Turnbaugh home Sunday. Geo. Coffeene,' who has been helping build a CCC camp on Williams Creek, finished his work and Is now putting in bntli fixtures nt the Claude Hawkins ranch. Mrs. Anna Knutzen and baby Crenshaw of Applogate called on old neighbors here October 18. Elmer Koss has been hauling logs from his place to Jackson ville to be sawed Into lumber for a new house, which he intends to build soun. several parties. Andl thought buff was a sensible girl!" Sheer curiosity took him back to see her a few days later. He ap proached the subject of VanLan der cautiously. "I met an artist here last week," he told her. "Have you seen any of his work?" He was relieved to near her de nial. "He's invited me up to his apartment to see a display of it but I've been too busy to go. He says he's very successful, how ever." A sudden thought occurred to her. "Didn't I hear him an nouncing that you had become his patron? You must have been very favorably impressed by his workl" Tim found himself in a dilemma. If he told her he was buying Van's productions in order to spare her the shame of being exhibited in soap to the eyes of Boulder, she would naturally wish to see these presentments of herself. She was the daughter of ',ance Carroll and really knew something about art Tim wondered whether her wrath would fall upon his head for pre suming to find a likeness to her in Van's laundry writhings. or for his colossal ignorance In encouraging the artist in what amounted to criminal activity in soap "I ordered some of his things be fore I saw them," he said at last. "I I had a reason for doing it. I wish now I hadn't. They're be von d words." "How d'you mean beyond words?" She was curled in a deep chair, one foot under her, her chin propped on her hand. She aske the question with interest. "They're like something a back ward four-year-old might do II you encouraged him sufficiently. I . . . was led to believe thev were were otherwise." Buff grinned at mm. "Tim dear, you do need me, don't you realize it? What you're trying to say is that Van told you he was doing me, and intending to display the figures in a shop wi.idow. So you came nobly to my rtscue by buy ing up in advance anyining ne chooses to whittle. You're simply putting a premium on that sort of silliness. Suppose couple of wa ter colorists and heaven Knows the place is full of 'rm! confide to you that they're doing a profile. full face, or figure of me and in tend to show their wares in prominent place. Shall vou imme diately corner the market on all possible Bufls?" 'Male Clinefng Vine' HE muttered Incoherently, once more thinki"g himself the world's wirst idiot. She said briskly. "I'll sneak to Van myself! Hush. I shall, tool After all, you were my guest and he took advantage o." you." iims law squared. Mill bent on taking care of me, are you. bull? I hoped vou fl forgotten thai foolish idea." She put on her softest and most feminine expression. lim, there s a gaciet to the stove that neither Mrs. Webb nor 1 can understand. Personally, I'd just ignore it, but We'. by fears we'll be blown up in our beds some night. I wonder if you'd look at it and try to figure out what it's for?" Presently he was tinkering hap pily with an oven thermometer which had temporarily forgotten its duties. By the time he had ad justed it, dinner was ready and Webby had set x place for him. For one reason "nd another, he drifted into the habit of dining with Buff at least once a week, sometimes oftener. George usual ly accepted the invitation for him Also Tim could not quite rid him self of a sense of responsibility for this young girl who was staying in Boulder because of him, and had surrounded herself with a group of young people aboul whom he was a trifle dubious. "That VanLander guy." George said thoughtfully one evening as they were driving out to Buff's "He practically lives there, did you know it? He's a fool and Buff knows it; but he's leaning so hard on her that she's going all mater nal and protective about him. She's a set-up for the male clinging vine I wish we could think of some wav to give him the gate." Somehow this anxiety on the part of the usually cheerful Weekes upset Tim. He remem bered that Van had either been departing or arriving for the last half dozen times Tim himself had called. It was true that Buff had stopped what she called "Van's soapy sales" to the engineer. Van apparently harbored no resent ment toward what he had counted on as a steady source of Income. He remarked cnsiiall; that he had sold "three Huffs," and the object of his artistic achievements gave Tim a reassuring nod. "I've seen 'em." ihe said. "No body could possibly recognize me In fact one of 'em looks like the sheeted dead, the other two like a Cubist's nightmare. Rest easy Tim." "What's It to Tim?" Van In quired casually. "You two en gaged, or something?" "It amounts to that." Buff said Which was whv the paper nexl evening had a none-too-subtle paragraph to the effect that no Boulder swain need exert him self to woo the talented and charming visitor to their fair city since her alTectior.s were already engaged.
