ANGEL GETS A CHILL
CHAPTER III
TH not rightly open for'trads
yet," I told Jane Ann, watch
ing her face to sea how the grub
was setting, "There won't be any
one else unless the Indian digger
comes in. Do you goodtojneet
ct little company."
"Please don't mind my'not;be
Jng clubby."
"I don't mind anything," I "said,
Just to prove it, I'm going .to
jlboot you full of questions."
"What kind of questions?" I
Could feel her tense up.
"Snoopy ones, of course? No
body's got to look twice at you to
see that you've been used to mon
ey. Plenty of It"
"There isn't plenty .of .it any
ptore."
-Then what are you here for?"
She hesitated over that Then
Tehe must have figured that I was
friendly. She said, "I've got to
live somewhere. My theory is that
111 keep this up as long as I can
and then go down with the ship."
"Maybe the ship won't go
down," I said, for an idea was fer
menting in the old brainpan.
"Maybe not" she said.
I tapped my garter and peeled
off three ten-spots from the roll.
"What's this?" she said.
"The first month's rent"'
I gave the space the once-over'
There was plenty to be done.be-,
lore I could get going.'
Weeds and scrub grew waist-)
mgn. i was jusi woriong up a
nice sweat when a Jaloppy rattled
in and a young Greek god got out
He was a big, square-shouldered,
fiat-backed, blond-haired bird
with nice, friendly blue eyes and a
Welli ver football sweater.
."Eiya, Mom Baumer," he said.
"That's me," I said. "Pleased to
meetcha, Big-and-Handsome."
"Ifll be breakfast for me. fl
could eat a horse."
"Just out of horsemeat' Eggs.
Ham or bacon. Griddle cakes.
Coffee and tost"
"Right That's my order,".! he
(aid.
"Your night on the tiles hasnt'
spoiled your appetite. Big Boy,'
I said.
"Tiles, your eye!" he came back
at me. 'Tve been gold prospect
ing."
"And this is the Hotel Ritz.'V'I
said. .
"No; I mean it Haven't you
'Beard it s Bean lined in the pa
pers. They've struck gold again.
. Sack in the Colony HiUs."
"Find anything?" I asked..
"Not a sparkle. I've got no luck
anyhow." And he smiled like a
cherub on a pink cloud.
"You ought to be able to roll
your own luck with that face and
shape," I told him.
"Thanks." he said, finishing Om
last six cakes. "How about putting
" this on the hook, Mom? I'm Angel
- Todd."
So this was the Great Todd.
Nevertheless and notwithstanding,
' as they used to say in Montana,
, rules are rules.
"Angel or devil, there's no tick
here," I said. "That'll be sixty
five cents, please."
He spilled his cash-pocket,
spreading out two quarters, three
dimes, a nickel, and seven pen
nies. "How much gas could I buy for
twenty-seven cents?" he asked,
"The old boat's about dry."

TTTELL, I went soft I told him
to put his money back. And
then, while he was promising that
he'd be over to settle soon, his
face lit up like a parade. I took
a look outside, and there was Miss
Jane Ann Judson, coming up from
the riverbank.
! V-What's that?" Angel Todd said.
L "My niece," I said, looking him
pn the eye.
"Any niece of yours is a niece
lot mine, Mom," he said. . "Hiya,
v JToOtsl" he called.
She came over to the wagon
jstcps and looked at him and then
lat me and she didn't say a word.
; iOnly her eyebrows went up.
"All right," I said. "Meet Miss
'Jane Ann Judson. This is Angel
Todd. That name mean anything
. io you?"
"I'm afraid it doesn't," she said.
."Should it?"
He looked like he didn't believe
her. "Don't you ever read the
. sporting pages?" he said.
"Not the local ones."
I kind of liked the way he
spotted her for class after his false
start "A probably All-America
triple threat isn't exactly local," I
told her.
"Oh!" she said. "Sorry." As an
apology it was very cold-storage.
"Look," he said. "There's a
basketball game Saturday. I'm
playing. If I sent a couple of
tickets, would you be interested?"
- "Mom might I wouldn't thank
you," Jane Ann answered him.
, "Well, look," he said. "You
don't have to go this second, do
you? Look, now. There's a
Rogues' dance next week. You
know; Chi Rho Gamma. What
ebout that, girlie I mean, Miss
ijudson?"
.This found no market either.
Jane Ann asked me if there was
anything I wanted from town and
went away. "What's the matter
with her?" he said. "Or is it me?"
"Oh, you're all right I guess,"
,T said. "But Jane Ann Judson is
inobody's yes-girl."
"You sure handed him the Ice
tray," I told Jane Ann when she
igot back, "What's wrong with
fcimt" ,
Nothing special," she said.
"Nothing at all, I guess."
"You've got to admit he's got
something," I said. "Dont you
get it at all?"
"You see," she said kind of tired,
Tve seen him before."
"What goes on here?" X said.
"You know this bird?"
"Not him exactly," she said, "but
the type. Travelling on their
manly charm. It isnt good enough.
First thing you know, the charm
goes out like a light and you
bump against things in the dark.
Oh, Weill It isn't fatal. Only,
you lose your taste for it"
TVXXT morning I was up early
A for the truck trade. Truckles
are the pick of the road. Hearty
eaters and no kick on a fair price
for a good article.
Six lots had fed by seven o'clock
and I was tidying up after them
when Jane Ann Judson strolled
in. She took a gander at my
three-color banner that I'd strung
across the right-of-way between
a redgum and a Cottonwood, and
then cocked an ear at the ground
like a robin listening for a worm.
"Whafs the idea?" I said.
"Cant you hear the Mauries
turning in their graves?"
"The exercise will do 'em good.
How do you like my advertising
display yourself?"
"Matter of taste," she said.
"Matter of business," I told her.
"It pulls. This is going to be a
Busy Corner."
"Do you really like doing m
she asked. There was a kind ot
wistfulness in the way she spoke,
like she wished she had some
thing to do that she liked.
"It's my line," I said. "Show
me any other as good. Take sand
wiches, for instance. You smear
a cent's wortft ot bread with a
dash of butter, slip In a two-cent
slab of meat a lettuce leaf and
a pickle, and what nave you got?
A barbecue sandlch that you can
sell for two bits, twenty-five cents,
the quarter part of anybody's dol
lar. That's business."
She kind ot laughed. "You
wouldn't need a helper, would
you?"
