NICK KNOWS TOO MUCH CHAPTER XVIII TT wasn't until that bitter mo ment that ahe did remember the full algniflcance of Nick's re mark. Joe was no fool. She knew now that ha realized where she had heard rumblings of strike threats. Eh knew how disturbed, how troubled end-punled he must be. But now that trouble had arisen at the plant just as Nick had foretold she was more insistent than ever In her desire to learn what force was behind it all. She wondered If she could find the courage to fo out with Nick since her eyes had been opened; now that she had broken away from the childish dream; now that ah knew her true love for Joe. And yet she felt she had to find the strength. Women the world over are facing real, concrete, terrifying problems, ah told herself. Cer tainly there la enough real Amer icanism in me, enough of my an cestors to help me do my part now. Even if it turns out to be witch hunt, even if the YP isn't un-American, but Just a harm lea bunch of boys and girls like myself, with tiir? and energy and nothing to do still, I will have convinced myself. TT wss even harder than ah had anticipated to b with Nick, hi was charming, eager to please, amusing, and in lover's mood. "you're sweet You're lovely. You're aot Ilk other girls. Not lik any girl I ever knew," he said. "Tonight we won't think of work. We'll think of us. "You car for me, dont you?" he asked, seriously. "There isn't anyone else, is there? That fel low that one you used to go with he's out of your life, isn't he?" he demanded, holding her closer. "Oh, Nick, why must you be e serious?" She pushed him jaway. "We haven't time to be I (illy and emotional. "W have so much to much itn common," sh insisted. "I mean Ith work, and the election. Tell im about that I haven't had a chance to really talk to you in days." If only aha could learn something about his real plans, it would mak this date seem more bearable. "Work nlana " TTa Hmr Vtar closer again, kissed her. "Let ith other talk about work and 'plans" Sh was frightened. Mor than! ah had ever been before. This was new Nick. Intense and de-1 manding. "It's only because I thought you wanted me to understand things wanted m to stop being blind and stupid " . "You arent blind or stunld he murmured. "A little, perhaps. wnen you won t see how much I car for you. But not about other things." Sh persisted and finally he talked. With his arras around her. holding her tightly, he told her wnat the election would mean, "W have to get FriU King lecrea. Meg our man. Hes schooled in the party pattern, and he'll be our opening wedge in creating a new system in this state. "Old Miller is a fooL Hell run as governor again and he'll put up a stiir Dame, nut we can lick him. Plenty comes out in an elec tion campaign. Maybe we'll show mat nes wasting the state's money; playing little private business of his own. Why, then we a oe au set." "I thought, though, that he was respected and capable. At least the papers say ao." Sue Mary led mm on. . "The papers the capitalistic- controlled press. Not a free press. neao our paper. He's backed by big money. He hasn't the inter ests of the people at heart." "Speaking of the people," Sue Mary aald casually, "there was a riot at the Smithson factory, wasn't there?" 1CK laughed. "A strike? Yes. But it hain't rnaltv mltnA yet ,. "I bet the war-mongers are plenty worried. If Smithson stops production for couple of months th plane factory might just as well stop trying to ketv up to schedule. The Gull plant depends on them for parts, and a strike would really show the big boys ihat the workers are the ones that mak the wheels go 'round. Millions for this defense and what about relief? What about wages?" "But defense is pretty impor tant right now, Nick, isn't it? I mean, shouldn't we forget other problems and be soldiers out of unuormy" "Who have yu been talking to?" Nick took her face between his hands and looked at her. There was no laughter in his eyes now. They were narrow and searching. Su Mary tried to smile. "Why, I can read. You taught m to read the newspapers, don't you remember?" "You've changed," he told her sullenly. He pushed her away and continued to look at her. "I thought you could see the truth; not be taken in by this stud you read in the daily papers. "No," he said slowly, still stor ing at her through narrowed eyes. "Someone has been talking to you. It's that Joe. He works at Smith son, doesn't he? You see him, don't you?" She swallowed against the lump In her throat. "Of course. I know him and sometimes I have dates with him. So what, Nick? He's not you. I'm with you almost every day. And I'm with Vera and Natalie. You're my friends ' Nick fumbled for a cigaret and lighted it "You're not like Vera or Natalie." He looked up sud denly. "Maybe you're working too hard at the office. How are things going there?" a a a TT was like a game, Sue Mary thought, each trying to maneu ver the other into an admission. "The office? Oh, we're still busy. But Vera can tell you that" "She's making good there, isn't she?" "Yes," Sue Mary said. "Every one likes her. Even the president's son." Nick blew out a cloud of smoke and studied the red glow of the cigaret "What does he do?" 'Oh not much. He's more the playboy," she said lightly. "Of course. Vera says he has political ambitions, but I wouldn't know. He thinks Vera's aU right She knows him pretty well." She watched him for a reaction. 'Yes. She said she'd gone ou 1 with him few times. In fact they were to go to th Bird Cag tonight." "The Bird Cage," Sue Mary said wonderingly. "That's the big gambling place, Isn't It? "Yes," Nick said, drawing her close again. "Like to go? We could, you know. We couldn't play for the stakes that Clark plays for, but we could go and see how the other halt plays. Let's go."
