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.

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

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.

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.

Tim put it on his closet shelf. "1

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

Mrs. Anna Knutzen and baby

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

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

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

PAINTERS' WAR
Abandoning paints and brushes for grimmer implements of war, three European artists
turned to carving up landscapes instead of reproducing Ihem on canvas.
"All my life I have wanted to be a great painter in oils," Adolf Hitler recently said.
"Future historians will remember me, not for what I have done for Germany, but for my
art. . . ."
Former Generalissimo of Poland's army was Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz, an able and
academic landscapist. Supreme commander of the combined French and British armies, Gen
