Chapter 31 Joe Disappear 1VHEN Kathleen opened her eye, the sunlight was stream ing Into the room. She sat up and looked at the time. It was eleven o'clock in the morning. She Jumped out of bed, and turned on the shower. Half an hour later she walked Into the dining room. The telephone bell rang while Kathleen was having her first cup of coffee. She went to answer it It was the editor of the Linville Gazette. "Is Joe Neely out there, Kath leen?" he asked. "I've been trying to locate him all morning. That crary Lizzie of yours wouldn't call you to the telephone." "No." said Kathleen, "of course Joe's not out here. "Okay. Sorry to have bothered jrou." Kathleen went back to her breakfast She tried to put the matter of Joe's absence from work from her mind. But it was difficult She kept thinking of theii quarrel of the night be forewondering L that had any thing to do with Joe's non-appearance at the newspaper office. Fred DeMille arrived in the amidst of her wsndering. and worrying, and breakfasting. "We're calling off 'Goodbye, Honey Chile!'." no announced, after he and Kathleen had laid their good mornings. "We're go ing to use one of our old plays during the rest of the week. Sorry your professional appear ance was so short-lived, Kathleen, but'" "Why this sudden decision?" Kathleen asked, amazed at the relief she felt. Fred chuckled. "We've got to put on a play in which Paul has a less conspicuous part," he said. "The patch on h's forehead shows rather plainly and hia chin Is "Joe's doings." said Kathleen. He told me." Then she said, try ing to speak calmly, "By the way. have you seen Joe today?" "Yea, I saw him early this morning," said Fred. "lie was helping Ruby into his car." "Where on earth could ihey be going so early?" Kathleen said, as though speaking to herself. "I ahould think Ruby would be all worn out after last night" Fred shook his head. "It puzzles me, too. Maybe Ruby Anally made up her mind whjch she wanted Joe or your uncle." Dire Possibility TOU mean It may have been an an elopement?" "Yes," said Fred. "Ruby's got a romantic streak a yard wide. He looked up as Li7zie walked in. "Hello. Lizzie," he said. "Mind if I have a cup of coffee." Fred got his coffee. He sat drinking it "I hope you don't feel too badly about it," ho said to Kathleen. "Joe's a swell kid I know but with you planning a career, and sort of ditching him, he natural-ly-" "I'm not planning a career!" Kathleen cried out "I hate ca reers, Fred DeMille. Sometimes I wish you and your old actors had never come to Linville. I I" Words failed her. She caught up her napkin and dabbed at her eyes. "There, there, Kathleen, my child," exclaimed Fred. "I didn t mean to get you all upset I'm sorry." "The Idea, Kathleen rushed on. "Ruby Howard is years and years older than Joe why. it's nothing less than a kidnapping!" "Maybe so," said Fred thought fully. "And yet Joe certainly didn't look a bit unwilling when I saw them." "Oh. shut up!" said Kathleen. Fred got to his feet "I'll be Moosehead, which cutsldcrness for 35 miles, through trackless Maine wll-1 England's largest lake. Midway Hero iff, L w " " 1 4 ff VI MP? r AT- v . f if- r & Ensign C. H.

If there's anything can do, lust " "Will you stop talking as though someone had died!" cried Kathleen. Fred, somewhat confused softly mumbled "goodbye," and de parted. Kathleen went Into the living room. She paced up and down, up and down. "I've been the world's prize idiot!" she told her self. She wanted to cry, and couldn't She picked u- a book. She put it down. The minutes dragged. Finally she went out into the kitchen. "I don't want any lunch, Liz zie," she said. "I ate breakfast so late. But you'd better fix some thing for Mr. Frank. "He ain't comin' home to lunch," said Lizzie. "He et break fast pow'ful early, an' said not to expect him till this evenin'. He said as how there'd be company for supper too." "How many?" "He didn't say. You know how Mr. Frank likes to drop in with folks to eat Miss Kathleen." "Yes. I know." said Kathleen wearily. "Just plan a good meal Lime- -and plenty of it" "Yas'm." No Cncle Frank AN hour later a garage man telephoned to say that Mr, Frank Vaughan's car was ready. "I didn't know there was any thing wrong with it," said Kath leen. "Nothing serious," said the man. "Just took a few hours to make some adjustments. Shall I drive It out?" "No" said Kathleen. "I'll come and get it" On the way to the garage, she decided to run up and see her uncle. She had to talk to someone. or go crazy. She knew Uncle Frank would understand about Joe, and comfort ner, make ner feel that her world hadn't really come to an end. She reached the building in which Mr. Frank had his real estate office, and went up the stairs. She tried the knob of the office door, and found it locked. Then she noticed a small card stuck in the glass. She bent down to read it It said: "Gone for the day." She turned away, her heart heavy. Joe gone! Uncle Frank gone! She had never before fell so utterly alone. She went down to the street again. A short time later she was driving her uncle's car out into the country, wondering in a sort of half-interested way where Un cle Frank had gone, and how since he didn't take the car with him. It was nice in the country. And she drove on and on. faster and faster, as though trying to get way from ner thoughts. She stopped at the farm, strolled through the old house, tidying up here and there but when she saw the barbecue pit. and remem bered all her nopes and dreams, she felt sick with an almost over whelming conglomeration of emo tions, bhe went back to the car, got in. and drove away fatter than she had ever driven before. When she drove into the drive way of the Vaughan place, trie saw Ruby Howard sitting upon the front porch. She barely missed the elm tree that grew near the garage, as she stiffened. "Well, of all the nerve!" she thought Uncle Frank daring to bring Joe Neely and his actress bride out to her house for supper! "Hello!" she said to Ruby. "Hello! We've been wondering what had happened to you." "Really?" jaid Kathleen. "I've been doing some wondering my self. So has Joe's boss. He's been wondering why Joe didn't come to work.

Senators Ellender (D-La.) and Brewster (R-Me.) in separate in terviews said that top ranking admirals had informed them that no new battleships would be started and that plans for cruisers now underway were be ing converted so that these would be completed as aircraft carriers.

At the age of 13 gave my first professional exhibition. At the age of 14 could punch the bag better than many professional fighters, including James J. Braddock, Primo Camera, Steve Hamas. Lou Ambers, and others ..." At eighteen, it is said, Doris could punch a bag faster than any man in the world. One of her most novel stunts consists of bag-punching and tap dancing at the same timel The navy finally has decided it must have more airpower to protect our present fleet," Ellen der said. "Some of the cruisers being converted were pretty well along." 8upor-8hlps Out Senator Brewster said that the new decision would mean abandonment for the present of navy plans for constructing five huge super battleships of 60,000 tons each "that were to have been the largest things afloat." Brewster said that naval au thorities had been working on the plans for the huge battle ships larger than any previ ously built for more than a year and probably had learned that "some of our enemies had abandoned plans for similar nuge battleships. The Maine senator said that the new decision would not in terfere with completion and commissioning of several battle ships that would be launched within the next few months.
