OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1942. tlfiBFAJgJggl By Wotkins Chapter ZB Stubborn Girl AS THE days passed Joe had the feeling that Kathleen had walked straight out of hii life. So far as ever netting an opportunity to talk to her, he and aha might ai well have been living on oppo se !s of the ftiobe. He forced himself to keep hard t work, trying to improve upon the play, giving a "homev" air to his column, and polishing up his play reviews. There was certainly plenty to do and he liked work ing. But he couldn't keep his thoughts from returning again and again to Kathleen and the dreams and hopes he had so long held where she was concerned. Finally there came day when he could no longer resist the urge to see her. to talk to her. He wrote a last Hem to his column an item about Miss Camilla's furni ture being used to outfit a stage setting and then placed the cover over his typewriter. He picked up some rewritten scenes of his play, planning to read them aloud to Kathleen, ran down the worn stairs of the Linville Gazette Building, and lumped into his car. Not long afterwards he was fac ing Lizzie out at the Vaughan residence. "No, Mr. Joe," said Lizzie, "she ain't to home. Seems like she ain't never to home no more." "Okay!" said Joe. "Thanks. Liz zie." He turned to go, but Lizzie had n idea. "Ah's got some sugar-cured ham tor supper. Mr. Joe, she said. "No kidding?" said Joe. "An it's a shame for Mr. Frank to be eatin' by himself all the time." "Are you going around your eipow to asK ma to stay and eat some 01 mat nam?" Lizzie's face brightened. "Yas'r," she said. "Ah shore hates feein good food going to wast 'Then I'll stay said Joe. "St I'm not going to be a pest?" "Lawsy, Mr. Joe, you-all ain't never no pest Lizzie hustled off, calling back. "You-all Just set there and cool on. Ah II go add the final flxin's." Joe dropped down Into a porch chair. He took the rewritten scenes of the play from his pocket, and tried to read them. But he felt no interest He jammed the typed sheets back Into his pocket, and tared out across the well-kept yard. He was still staring, Inst in moody thought, when Mr. Frank drove up. Supper For Two "TTELLO, Joe, boy!" Mr. Frank I--1 greeted. "Waiting for some one? "No," said Joe. "I'm waiting for some sugar-cured ham. Smelllt?" Mr. Frank sniffed the air. "Do I?" he said. "My, that smells ap petizing. Where's Kathleen? I thought you were waiting for her.'' "She's not coming home," said Joe. He explained about the tele phone call. "Lizzie thought you might like to have me eat with you." "Lizzie's right," said Mr. Frank. He sat down upon the top step. "Kathleen's been as scarce as hen s teeth here of late. Oh, well, I sup- Eose rehearsing is an exacting usiness." "Evidently," said Joe dryly. "But not unexciting when you have a handsome actor to coach you, and drive you back and forth to the theatre. "Don't let it get you down, Joe." aid Uncle Frank. "I don't think it's going to come to anything." "What's not going to come to anything?" Joe demanded. "All this stage-struck business. Ruby told me the longer Kathleen rehearsed, the more certain she became that she was an amateur and nothing more." "She did?" Joe brightened. "You i -A ,.4. 0,v 4 v. ., -1. (.' .'.. -v.

Wright! mean she thinks all this acting craze of Kathleen's will turn out to be Just a tort of teapot tem pest? Uncle Frank nodded. "I only hope Kathleen won't take it too hard." he said. Lizzie called them to supper then. I "Come on." said Unci Frank, "let's go wash up." ' Presently, washed up, their hair neatly combed and brushed, the two men walked into the dining room. Lizzie beamed upon them. I "Ah shore does love cookin' for men-folks,' she said, bustling ' about the table. "Men-folks al ways eats like they enjoys it" "And when men-folks have a ; cook like you. Lizzie," said Uncle Frank, "they just naturally have to eat." Lizzie smiled her thanks. "Had it occurred to you, Joe," i said Mr. Frank, "that you've got a fine opportunity to squelch Kath leen's plans to be an actress?" "How?" said Joe. "By panning her in your review of 'Goodbye, Honey Chile!' " "But suppose she's- good?" said Joe. "No matter how much I love her. Mr. Frank, I couldn't pan her if she didn't deserve it." Mr. Frank turned to his meat "That," he said, "is what I call true love." Laura Again VHEN Kathleen and Paul had left him, Fred relaxed a little. He nibbled on a Western sand wich, sipped rather dish-watery coffee, and listened to the insects. Actors! What a heck of a lot they were! Feeling as though they were nmvthinfl nnnrtl Ahnv riti ! cism! Know-it-alls! Then as he I saw Ruby Howard coming out of the barn tneatre, looking slim and appealing In slacks and a bright sweater, he said to himself: "There are exceptions, of course." Ruby saw him, and came over. "Aren't vou going into town for dinner?" Fred asked her. "No," Ruby said, sitting down beside him. "After that strenuous rehearsing you put us through, I'm dead. I'm too tired to eat, much less drive miles to get it "Have a Western sandwich on me." said Fred. "They're about the only things cur cook knows how to make. The coffee's tired, too but it's hot." "All right" said Ruby. "I sup pose I'll have to take something, if I'm to get through the show tonight." Her order was elven. and when It was placed before her, she gave it her listless attention. 'I m worried, Fred," she said. 'What about?" Fred wanted to know. "Kathleen Paul." "You mean off stage?" "Yes." "And Paul's worried about vou on stage. He thinks you make too early an entrance that you de- iiuciairijr iiy iw upon nil scene with Kathleen." Fred eyed her with one brow arched. "Do you do it deliberately?" "No, I don't," answered Ruby. "It's onlv Paul's imagination. Bui It gives me an idea." 'Yes, go on," said Fred. This ought to be good." "I'd do it deliberately 'on the night we open," said Ruby, "if thought It would finish forevet Kathleen's feeble chances of get ting anywnero wun a stage ca reer." 'Has Paul said anvthlns about Laura of late?" Fred asked. "Onlv when I referred to her." said Ruby. "Then he nearly bit my neao on. 'Do you think we ought to tell Kathleen about her?" "It wouldn't do anv good. Kath leen's too stage-struck at the mo ment to care. Besides, she minht develop a terrific sympathy for Paul and then things would be even worse."
