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

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."
