Chapter 22
Kiss For A Rola
THE moon had evidently decid
ed to be as generous aj the
weather nian, and soon It was
high above the trees that sur
rounded the pond. Its soft radi
ans ttimfrf th nnn4 intA a sheet
of quick-silver. And gliding over
this silvery surface moved three
canoes, t
Joe Neely, In one of them with
Daisy Doran, felt strangely philo.
aophical. He kept thinking of the
six people in the three canoes as
mere human atoms driving upon
life's deceptive surface. Wnere
would they all be this time next 1
year? i
would rvauueen nave auauiru
her goal? Would Daisy Doran be
in a Broadway play and her
father in a "cure"'? Would Paul
Pennell be in Hollywood a place
to which -he referred with in
creasing monotony?
Would Fred DeMille be direct
ing another group of players
in another reconstructed barn?
Would Ruby Howard be starring
in a play? And would he be the
author of that play? Six uncertain
people on life's troubled seal (It
sounded almost like a poem.)
Drifting drifting drifting
"Are you always this quiet
when you take a girl canoeing?"
Daisy asked presently, smiling at
Joe from the bow of the canoe,
where she sat tral'ing her fingers
through the water.
"No," said Joe, "but but well,
ao much seems at stake for us all,
I feel serious."
"And such a wonderful moon,
too!" said Daisy. She glanced to
ward the canoe in which sat Kath.
leen and Paul. 'Those two" she
nodded toward Kathleen and Joe
"aeem to be more moved by the
moon than you, Joe. honey."
Joe stopped paddling for a mo
ment, ana he frowned. He wished
Daisy hadn't called his attention
to the other couple. Paul was not
paddling now. He was sitting De
aide Kathleen. The canoe was tak.
ins! care of itself. His frown deep.
ened when he saw Paul's arms
about Kathleens waist, saw
,im draw her closer closer
1 hope they remember they're
In a canoe," he said.
"So do I," aaid Daisy. "One feels
to foolish being dumped out in
the middle of a lake or 1 pond."
"Are you speaking from experi
ence?" said Joe.
"Yes, Joe, honey, I am," she ac
knowledged. "Last summer a
local Romeo tried to make love
to me in a canoe and did I get
wet!"
"Him, too, I suppose," said Joe.
"He looked too silly for words!"
aid Daisy. "And his enthusiasm
fjr romance was certainly damp
ened for the time being.
Kid Thought
JOE resumed his padding. And as
he did so he found himself wish
ing that Kathleen couldn't swim
that the canoe would capsize
and that he could play hero and
rescue her. "Darned kiddish
thoughts." he told himself. And
then he began wishing something
ainerent that the
nartv w,
pariy was
over.
In another canoe Fred and :
Ruby were talking shop.
"You're not going to interfere
with Paul's plan to give Kathleen I
role mat i it ne carries out
the plan?" said Fred.
Ruby shook her head. "T don't
aeem to care one way or the
other, Fred," she said. "Anyway,
I just haven't the energy to argue
with him or to fight."
"What's come over you? In love
or something?"
"No, of course not
"Thought you might be falling
for Joe Ncely or Mr. Vaughan.
"Nonsense!
"Well, it could happen, you
know."
"Joe'i much too young for me,
nd "
"And Mr. Frank too old?"
I "No, it isn't that at all.
I "Then what is it?" '

Tin uit restless. Fred. I don't
know why exactly. But her of
late I don't teem to have my old
enthusiasm for the theatre. It'l
left me temporarily, of course
but that'i the way it is."
"I understand. Ruby," Fred
said. "I feel the same way. At the
moment 1 a rather be plowinf
land of my own than anything
else. It couldn't be any harder
thn directing."
Ruby shrugged wearily. "And
if Kathleen Vaughan gets a part
in the play," she said, "we'll all
be up against it. Oh. well, it's all
in the game. So long aa people
turn barns into theatrea, there'll
be stage-struck rustic maidens
begging lor parts.
I'm afraid you're . right" aaid
Fred. "But let's not bother our
heads." He dipped his paddle into
the water, and the canoe shot for
ward. "Let'a try to feel. the in
fluence of the moonlight and get
some romantic twinges."
"A difficult thing to do," said
Ruby, "considering neither feels
romantic toward the other. Just
a couple of theatrical folk, drift
ing, and wondering."
"I'm afraid you're right again,"
said Fred. "Being forty-five, and
directing for pittance isn't very
pleasant."
"Dear, dear Fred," Ruby said
tenderly. "And don't think it's
any fun being thirty-seven. Just
being that wouldn't be so awful
but trying to be twenty-eight in
real life, and twenty-five on the
stage sort of complicatea matters."
There's one thing I've always
admired about you, Ruby," said
Fred. "You're so honest I mean
with me, with people who under
stand and sympathize when you
let down your back hair, so to
speak."
Kiae From Paul
RUBY laughed. "What a roman
tic pair we are!" she said. "We
do discuss the darndest things by
moonlight!M
"Don't wet" chuckled Fred.
Then he (topped chuckling with
astonishing suddenness. "Damn."
"Whafa the matter?" Ruby
asked.
"I just saw Paul kiss Kathleen,"
Fred replied.
"Well, don't get so excited
about it," Ruby said. "She prob
ably encouraged him in order to
have her way about the part in
the play, you know."
"Did you ever do a thing like
that?"
"Yea, Fred. All girls who want
to get on the stage have to use
allurement or what have you."
"Nevertheless," said Fred. "I'd
like to push Paul under the
waters of this pond three times,
and bring him up twice."
"Murderous thoughts by moon
light," said Ruby.
"Or. The Moonlight Murder.'"
said Fred. "Good title for a book."
"Or a play."
"Yes."
Then they felt silent, as Fred
begar, to paddle back toward
shore. They kept on being silent
as they passed close to the canoe
in which were Kathleen and Paul
Not that it mattered, since
.neither Paul nor Kathleen saw

because of the kiss Paul had given
her- And Paul was still feeing

"No. Paul, please," said Kath
leen. "A canoe's too wobbly "
"Meaning I can have another
when we are on terra firma?"
s:lrl Paul.
"Perhaps."
Paul began paddling with In
creased energy. "Then to land we
shall go."
"Paul," she said, "I hate to be
pest, but have you decided
about giving me that part?"
"Yen. said Paul so promptly It
gave Kathleen a little shock. "I
made my decision just a little
while ago right after I'd kissed
you."

STORE BEAUTIES
YT.ten the makeup of the man-
nlkins, who pose daily In the
Montgomery Ward windows, be
comes thin and faded H. L.
Brown, store manager, sends for
Bill Birkmire, cowboy sculptor,
who imparts that something un
defined" which gives the cre
ative artist the power to give to
immobile clay the warm glow
of pretended animation.
Bill Birkmire who travels all
over the United States every
year 'is now at the local Ward
beauty treatments that will
make them last until the end
of the war when It will again be
possible to replace them with
new models.
"Broadway Bill" Is the name
the 63 year old sculptor and
world traveler prefers. He was
raised from the age of 11 by
"Buffalo Bill" Cody who sent
him to Pans to study sculptor
ing when he was 21. While with
Cody Birkmire learned to ride
the wildest horses and he never
misses a chance to ride in a
rodeo. He has won several
bucking bronco contests.
Statues of Theodore Roosevelt,
William McKinley, William S.
Hart, Abraham Lincoln, General
Grant and Will Rogers are
among the important pieces
Birkmire has done during his
colorful life.
Birkmire spends short rest
periods on his 1500 acre cattle
ranch near Miami, Oklahoma

FORGOTTEN ENGINE
To avoid dangerous rapids In a Jungl river, concern attempted to build a railroad ta
haul raw rubber through Braiilian jungles. All attempt failed, and one of the engine was
abandoned by its crew, who staggered away to die. Thirty-four years later, in 1907, a new rail
road was being pushed through and the workers came upon the ancient locomotive. A tree was
growing from the smoke stack, insects swarmed in the cab, and huge roots twined between the
spokes of the drive wheels. Nevertheless it was hauled out, reconditioned, and was used to haul
trains on the Madereia-Mamore railway for more than a quarter of a century afterwardsl
