PAGE SIX " MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1942. tror rm, June i Chapter 18 Soar Note JOE Instinctively placed his arm about her. drew her to him. Ruby did not resist. She relaxed against him like a little girl who was all tired out from too much running about They sat thus, silent, understanding. And Joe knew that he would always remember the moment It was a sweet moment to remember Ruby, with hrr appealing per fume, the dark, star-sprinkled kv, the sound of sleepy insects. '.Something for me to remember in my old age." he thought Presently Ruby stirred. "It's dear of you, Joe," she said, "to let me rest here like this. I know you must be wanting to get back into the gaiety." "You're wrong," Joe said. "I like this much better. The two of us here together sort of of understanding, not needing to talk a lot of chatter." "It is nice," said Ruby. "I like It also." , And they relaxed again, (axing off toward the barn. But thry did not know, of course, that Kath leen and Paul were also relaxing sitting upon a bench, their backs against the barn's wall. "And do you suppose," Kath leen was saying, "that Ruby really will do something about Joe's play, if she likes it?" "I wouldn't be surprised," said Paul. "She does - seem to want to try starring herself. But get ting a producer interested, and finding backing means a lot. "Yes, I suppose so." Kathleen was thoughtful for a moment "Has the author of 'Goodbye, Honey Chile!' gotten his back ing'" "I'm not sure about that," Paul replied. "But I hear some scouts are being sent down from New York to watch the production here In Llnvllle." 'Then if I had a small part me scouts wouia see mer "Unless they're stone blind," said Paul. He took one of Kath leen's hands, and laid It against his cheek a gesture he was using that week in the first act of the play. "You are mighty easy to look at" "And you are going to give me chance, aren't you? said Kath . leen. She leaned forward, so that she could watch Paul's face. "It means so much to me." "I know it does," said Pul. Til bring the script of the play out to the barbecue. You can read it, and tell me what you think." "But I know I'll love the play," said Kathleen. "May I read aloud to you the role you have in mind lor me?" "Of course you may," said Paul. He pressed the hand he held to his lip a gesture he used in the second act of the play. "You go with moonlight and roses," he said, his voice husky with emo tion. "You spell romance Kath leen, my aweet one." "Thank you," Kathleen said. "I love having you say things like that to me, Paul." She had forgotten completely that only a short time before, when with Joe Neely, she bad used the expression "sentimental nonsense." , Sarcasm JT WAS one o'clock In the morn . ing when Jo walked over to the barn. "Sorry to Interrupt such a charming scene," he said, "but I'm a working man. I have to get home for some sleep." He smiled at Kathleen, who edged away from Paul. "Mind going now? "Certainly not," Kathleen said. Tva been wondering what was keeping you."

And I," said Joe, "thought you were coming back to the old tree. Ruby and I were discussing my Play- Kathleen g' hand to Paul. ot up, held out her . "Goodnieht. Paul." she said. "Thanks so much for the helpful talk. I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few days, getting the old farmhouse in shape for the party but drop by whenever you feel like it." "Thanks." said Paul. "I'll do that Good-night, and good luck." He turned to Joe. "Same to you, Neely. When does Ruby expect to produce your play?" "We haven't gotten that far," said Joe. "Coming, Kathleen?" Kathleen walked away with him. "You needn't have bitten the man's head off," she said, when thev were getting into the car. "What man?" said Joe as If he didn't know, "Paul, of course. He was only interested in the play. That's all." "Maybe. But I didn't like the sarcasm I detected in his voice." "That was your imagination," said Kathleen. ' "My imagination Is never sar castic," Joe retorted. They rode back to town In silence. But Kathleen's silence was a pleasant one that is, to herself. In spite of the strained relations that had sprung up be tween her and Joe, her heart was singing. Matters were certainly looking up for her and she wasn't going to worry her head about Joe and their disagree ments. Cosy Picture ""yOU and Paul made a cozy pie- ture sitting with your backs to the old barn," Joe said, as he brought the car to a stand still in front of the Vaughan residence. 'Terribly cozy and romantic." "Really?" said Kathleen. "You saw us that way because you'd just made a cozy and romantic picture with Ruby sitting be neath the old oak tree." "Maybe." Joe got out, held the car door open for Kathleen. "How about a date one night this week? Bette Davie is going to be on at The Galax Theater." "Sorry. Joe." said Kathleen "Tm not making any dates. I've got so much to do digging up stuff to carry out to the farm for the party. The place has to be al most completely done over I mean cleaned from cellar to attic." Working nights?" Partlv. ves. But I'm ffolne to do a lot of reading too. I want to study some parts so's to be able to show Paul and Ruby that I nave aDiiiiy." "Oh, that!" "Yes, that," said Kathleea But you needn't take such an unpleasant tune. I'm not being unpleasant about you giving so much time to writing your play." "No, you're not," said Joe. "But that's because you're more or less glad to have me occupied. It gives you more time to spend with Paul and Fred." Kathleen sighed. "It's no use. Joe," she said. "You will keep on trying to pick ouarreL I don't see why we can't go on acting like adults instead of children. You have your ambition. and i nave mine and we snould be mutually helpful." "J hat." said Joe. "sounds like something you'd read in a book." there you go again, saying something nasty!" Kathleen flared. "Good night Joe Im tired. There's no need standing here like this, if we're not going to say something constructive." "Good night." said Joe. "I wish to heaven you d stop talking like a phonograph .record, or some thing and be yourself." Te bs continued ,rW w" A - . I ' .; 4 V.- i ; . ' 3 ; 1 Y . J ':U X 4 ii On the Radio Chains STATION!
