"Oh, no," Kathleen lied. "Of eours not. He'i been very kind ' to ma, but that's aU." "You know perfectly well you're not telling the truth. Laura Pen nell aaid. "But never mind. Only remember thia! I'm sticking round from now on, so well, tm sure you know what I'm driv ing at" Kathleen itruggled for a show f dignity. "It's terribly sweet of you to have this little visit with me, Mrs Pennell," she said. "But 1 o-iust be running along now. Someone is waiting for me. "If it's Paul," said Mrs. Pen. nelL, "please tell him mamas llso waiting. Kathleen made her escape, for her departure was just that and nothing less. She hurried around the corner of the barn, feeling like a very small child who had been caught sampling the jam iar. She saw her uncle and hurried over to him. "Hello, Kathleen!" he said. "Congratulations!" "Thanks." said Kathleen. "I'm tired. Uncle Frank. Would you take me home nowv "But. Ducky I mean, Kath- leen it's early. I planned to stick around some, and visit Besides, if you don't mind. I'd like to take Ruby for a late ride " "You mean you refuse to take me home?" "Certainly not. I tell you, let Jo take you. Hei around here some place. "Thanks very much," said Kathleen. "I can take one of those taxis standing out there. Good nieht." "Boy, she certainly has got her dander up!" Uncle Frank said, as h watched Kathleen streak across the open space to where ears and taxis had been parked. "Wonder what could have hap pened to ner. "I think I know," said Ruby. "Paul's wife appeared upon the eene." "HU wife?" said Unci Frank, astonished. Upperent "VES," answered Ruby. "I sup s' pci I should have told you Paul was married, but I kept put ting it oil. I saw her talking with Kathleen a moment ago. She probably scared the poor girl half out of her wits." "I hope she did." said Uncle Frank. "Maybe it'll teach the girl a lesson." Joe joined them. "Still want m to take Kathleen horn for you, Mr, Frank?" he asked. "She's gone in a taxicab," Uncle Frank told him. "She's run ning from Paul Pennell's wife." It was a cruel thing to say, but Unci Frank was annoyed. "If you speed up vou mav catch her before she goes to bed." "Did you say Paul Pennell's wife7" inquired Joe unbeliev- '"He did," said Ruby. "Paul's been married for years but he has his moments with other iris." "Oh, he does, does he?" Joe flared. "Well, if he thinks he can fool around with my girl, he's got another think coming to him." "Where are vou going?" Ruby and Uncle Frank called, as Joe Itarted toward the barn theatre. "I'm going to blaek a certain actor's eves, said Joe. "Pardon me," he said, when he aaw a woman sitting beside Paul, as he removed his stage makeup. "Pardon me, but I've got a lob to do." Paul turned. "What's th Idea. roming in without knocking?" he demanded. "This is th Idea," announced Joe. He walked over to where PRESERVE OLD LETTER Carml. 111. U.

Joe brushed his hands, pushed an overturned chair out of his way, and marched out without a word. Two minutes later he was in his car, racing after the taxi cab in which Kathleen was riding. Temper ALTHOUGH Jo ignored all speed limits in an effort to catch up with Kathleen before she reached town, Jo failed to do so. As a result he arrived in front of the Vaughan house just as Kathleen was unlocking the door. He brought the car to a grind ing stop, leaped out and ran up the walk. "Just a minute, Kathleen!" h called. Kathleen turned to face him. She looked remote and cold like someone eyeing him from a very great distance. "What did vou come here for?" Kathleen demanded. "Just to be with you, that's all," Joe said tenderly. "How perfectly sweet" Kath leen walked to the edge of the porch. "You'll have a wonderful time panning me. won't you, when you do your review?" "1 shall probably say something very nice, said Joe. "However, as a general thing, I agree with the two scouts who were sent down to see the play. They thought the play smelled, and they didn't mean the bam. either. But they were verv kind to vou." "Really?" Again Kathleen could not conceal what she felt "I sup pose you disillusioned them in stantly." "However, it wasn't your fault that the acene with Paul went sour," Joe continued. "If Pennell forgot his lines, and " "No wonder he forgot them," said Kathleen. "When he looked down and saw his" She stopped short "His wife?" said Joe. "Oh. then you know?" "Yes. Probably everyone else dies by now." Kathleen narrowed her eyea, and looked at Joe closely. "I've a pretty atrong feeling." she said, "that you had something to do with Mrs. Pennell being there. No doubt you planted her in the third row orchestra, just to spoil everything, just to prove you were right In thinking I was no actress. "Don't talk like a little idiot" said Joe. "I didn't even know Pennell had a wife, so how could I plant her anywhere?" He didn't wait for Kathleen to reply. "How ever, when I did And out there was a Mrs. Pennell, I went back and visited Mr. Pennell. As a re sult. I'm afraid you'll have to handle him very tenderly when you play vour love scene with him tomorrow night" "What are vou talking about?" said Kathleen uneasily. I gave pretty Paul an upper cut to the chin." said Joe. "And there's probably a cut on his cheek, since he hit a broken cold cream jar when he feii." Kathleens eves flashed. "Joe Neely. I loathe vou." she ex claimed. "You deliberately picked a fight with Paul just so you'd be sure we went on making a a mess of our scene." "I did not," protested Joe. He softened his voice. "Listen, honey, I hit him because he " "I won't listen to another word!" flared Kathleen, on the I verge of tears. " And don t you ever come near me again. She ran across the porch, flung open the front door, and disap oeared inside. She locked it be hind her. and fled up to her room. There she dropped down upon the bed. and sobbed.

By Lawrnc Haas (UP Latin American Editor) Six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor finds the en tire North American continent (including the three Caribbean island republics) with a popula tion of approximately 185,000,- 000, at war with the axis. Eight of the 10 South Ameri can republics, with an approxi mate total population of over 7U.ouo.ooo, have broken rela tions with Germany, Japan and Italy. Brazil, the largest in area and population, engaged in the fight against axis submar ines committing depredations against shipping along her leng thy coastline, although no form al declaration of war has been made. Only two countries, Argen tina and Chile, with a total population of something over 18,000,000, remained outside the united nations orbit. Mexico Important Ally Although the actual fighting burden so far as America is con ,"erned remained on the should ers the United States and Can ada, tht other 10 belligerent re publics, as well as the eight South American countries that broke with the axis between De cember 7 and January 28, are quickening the tempo of their cooperation in the fight. All of them are accepting the sacrifice that the war entails with an evident spirit of calm and equanimity; they are ration ing scarce materials, organizing their armed forces for defense so far as their resources permit and maintaining a rigid control over axis aliens, many of whom have been jailed, interned or de ported. The extreme importance of Mexico s entry into the war, even though not a single soldier may be sent to overseas battle- fronts, cannot be minimized. Mexican acceptance of the role of belligerent establishes a friend as guard on the southern flank of the United States, as sures a complete cleanup of well entrenched axis agents in the neighborhood republic, and assures a set-up in Mexico's pro duction of a large number of strategic materials. Furthermore, with Mexico as a full-fledged ally of the United States, additional strengthening of the Panama canal defense may be expected through elim ination of much of the red-tape, customary in international deal Ings. Mexico's powerful labor and peasant organizations were in the forefront in the demand for war on the axis following the sinking of the tankers, Potrero de Llano and Faja de Oro, and these groups are the backbone of the country. With such sup port pledged to President Man uel Avila Camarho. national wartime unity in Mexico seems assured. Many observers have ex pressed belief that a Brazilian declaration of war may be forth coming soon.
