Chapter 21
Srii'iilific Sillily
I'LL BACK you to do whatever
needs to be done." George rose
and rested friendly hand on her
shoulder for an instant. "Of course
I know you were Joking, Buff,
when you used to talk about mar
rying Tim; but golly, how swell it
would be if it really happened! I
couldn't wish anything better for
old Tim and he's one of the best,
though 1 admit he's acting like
seven kinds of a fool just now
than to pick himself a wife like
you."
Sue looked steadily ahead of her.
"I wasn't fouling, George. I'm not
now. I'm going to marry Tim."
"He know it?" demanded the
startled Mr. Weekes.
"No." Her mouth drooped a
little sadly. "That is, I've told him
often enough but he refuses my
oft or."
"Ho why, tho silly so-and-so,
the . . . why, I'll make him marry
fou if I have to bash his head inl
"Calm yourself, George dear.
You sound like the father of the
wronged maiden in a dialect poem
'In Texas, down on the Rio
Grande,' or something like that. I'll
handle this matter myself, and
thank you so much! Is that clearly
understood?"
He opened his mouth, shut It,
opened it again to say, "Clearly;
most clearly indeed, my dear Miss
Atlas. Any other little jobs you've
laid out for yourself? Like shoving
Long's Peak a mile or so nearer to
Pike's, for example?"
"You consider mv task so diffi
cult?" "Well. Tim If Tim's made un
nis mind either to do or not to do
something, he's not what you
might call easy to influence. And
with this Iris complication again to
the tore but my money s on you,
Bud, every time. And may heaven
hlngs vnlll" he snirl nt the (fnnr
Buff set herself to the study of
iris ucniuin wun the com aciacn
ment nnd concentration of a scien
tist. She wanted to know two
things about her: first whether the
newcomer was sincere in her pro
testations of innocence about the
ITnir of the summer; second, in
just what lay the charm she ex
erted over Tim, as well as over
most of the men she met.
The second question was more
easily answered than the Hirst Iris
was sex-conscious. It was not in
her to allow anything masculine,
whether it was Boulder's most eli
gible young lawyer or the freckle
faced urchin wlip brought cigar
ettes to her room, to depart without
having her mark put upon him.
She did it automatically, perhaps
instinctively, mui decided.
"She was a lovely little girl," ran
Bull's thoughts. "Graceful, pretty,
with that white &kin and those
wistful dark eyes. She probably
flirted in her kindergarten days. In
her teens she got real results. It's
an occupation with her just as
Lance must concern himself with
the reaction of his public to every
new character he puts in his car
toons." Bag Of Tricks
THERE was nothing spiteful In
this analysis. Buff was honestly
trying to understand a nature dis
tinctly foreign to her. Her life with
her parents had given her a large
tolerance of humanity's foibles.
Somehow the discovery that most
of Iris's "affairs" were impersonal,
merely the nrtist's display of talent
before an audience of one and that
invariably masculine, served to
soften her fault toward Tim in the
younger girl's eyes.
She discovered that Iris had a
bag of tricks, as professionally nec
essary as that of a conjurer. The
drooping of long lashes against a
petal white cheek, the sudden wide
and radiant smile which so trans
formed her, the appealing hand on
a man's arm. the caressing little
upward- inflection in the lovely
voice Ins used them, one after
another, impartially. Buff came to
know them all. to watch for them.
What mystified her was that Iris's
victims remained unaware of her
technique no matter how often and
automatically it was used.
Lance Carroll's daughter, gifted
with his own ability to burlesque
anything and anybody, took sober
counsel with herself on the subiect.
She know how delicately but effec
tively she could exhibit Iris to Tim
tinctiy phony to me. However. I'll
wait to be sure!"
So Boulder was treated to the
unusual sight of Buff Carroll and
Iris DcMuth, Tim's erstwhile
fiancee and his present friend and
comrade, going everywhere to
gether. Bull lunched at the Boul
derado with Iris Iris, witli Tim
and George a George who exhib
ited an unexpected suavity toward
the girl he disliked and distrusted
dined with Bum at her apart
ment. The quartet took in a weekly
movie together. They drove, when
the roads were clear of snow, up
into one alter another ot the sev
eral canyons opening out of the
University town.
Tea In Buff's living room became
a daily function; with Iris, always
lovely, always a trifle mysterious
and remote, lying back in the chair
which best framed her dark head,
while Bulf presided over the table.
and the town's younger set came
and went.
"No chance at al! to see you
alone these days," George grum
bled. "I've been wanting to toll
you that the land still stands in
Iris's name. Whatever her game is
she's going to play it slowly and
cautiously this time. She needs to,
in view of the rumpus that busi
ness kicked up here last summer."
"You're still convinced she's
playing a game?" They were talk
ing in undertones in the small din
ing room. Buir had slipped away
to stick her head through the
swinging door and ask Webby for
more sandwiches. George had fol
lowed her, and detained her in
consultation.
Thrill Of Danger
"I VHAT else?" he Inquired sim
' ' ply. "It's not in her to love
Tim, or any other man. She might
be devoted to a bully, the sort of
man Latshaw is, for instance but
it's more fear and admiration, the
thrill of danger, than it is airection
she feels, even for him. She has no
inner resources, if you understand
what I mean. Two steps lower in
the social scale and she'd be the
typical gangster's "mo'l." She loved
the feeling ot power it gave her to
be catspaw for t.ntshaw golly, it
rhymes! Sorry, Buff! If she had
more brains she'd make a dandy
spy for some European country. As
it is. she's not bad. she's not clever.
She's a darned sight closer to be
ing tho sweet clinging vine she's
always portraying than she real
izes." "You think this man Latshaw
sent her back here? Gave her in
structions to make it up with
Tim?"
"Exactly. They figured he fell so
hard for her last year that .it
wouldn't be a big job to get hold of
him again. It's exactly the sort ol
thing to flatter Iris's vanitv. Lat
shaw knows that and is making use
of it. For some reason best known
to himself, he wants that land
back. ... I wish to heaven I knew
why! If it is merely to get posses
sion of it legally, he could have
bought it at the price Tim and I
had set on it. But no, Iris must
needs pay what we'd lost, and
therefore renew her hold on Tim.
Tim's tho keystone of the deep
dark plot if plots have keystones.
Latshaw needs him for some
thing." He scowled all the way un
to his rapidly retreating hairline.
"I wish I knew what!"
Bulf nut a question she had lone
hesitated over. "Tim . . . what do
you think about Tim, George?"
"You mean, is he back in Iris's
toils? We sound like characters
melodrama. Bull! That's
hard to say. If I had had the sense
in the beginning not to sail into
her, that infernal chivalry of his
wouldn't have been aroused. As il
is he's looking for trouble every
timo I open my mouth about her
xou two are queer, he mused
aloud. "You and Tim, I mean.
Neither one of you is happy unless
you are protecting somebody.
Tim's doing a knight-in-armor act
lor Ins, you re on guard for Tim s
sake. I wish," he finished plaintive
ly, "somebody would yearn to
look after me a while. Is it because
I'm not tall and sort of gaunt look
ing, like Tim? Or is it because his
hair is so thick and .-.iruly? Why
docs no one long to rush to my de-
en so,'
She patted Us arm soothinclv.
"You belong to the League of de
fense yourself. George dear! Who
saw Tim through that had time in
August? Who came out to the
ranch and fussed anxiously about
his health, his mental state? You're
worrying now, you just said so!"
tie grinned sheepishly and Mrs.
Webb appearing at that moment
with a replenished sandwich plate,
he took it from her and went about
the living room, offering suste
nance to Bull's guests.

the softest chair and drown it close
to the tire. She had a cat's talent
for making herself comfortable;

MONROE DOCTRINE
Strange as it seems, the efforts of a European statesman were responsible for America'! for
mulation of the Monroe Doctrine, the keynote of which it keeping Europe out of American al
fairsl George Canning, Great Britain's foreign minister, in 1823 four limes proposed that the
United States join England in a declaration to check invasion of the western hemisphere by
Spain and Russia. England was interested in unrestricted trade with the Spanish-American
countries and was opposed to the Holy Alliance.
President Monroe- was inclined to accept, but after lengthy discussion John Quincy Adams,
secretary of stale, convinced Monroe of the worth of an independent declaration.
