LAURA PENNELL found cig
arette and lit it. "I hop the
foolish boy hain't been holding
out hopes and dreams to you.
Miss Vaughan.
"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

ordered.

but he got to his feet
He didn t remain upon them
long, however. Joe's fist shot out
It caught Paul upon the chut. He
went down like a log. The woman
with him screamed.
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. Onlv faintlv did
she hear Joe's car when he drove

OREGON, TUESDAY,

COMPLETELY AT
WAR WITH AXIS
Eight of Ten South American
Republics Also On Outs
With Aggressor Nations.
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. However, there
