LAB By Rene Ryerson Mart CHAPTER XI THE next morning Barbee hw by the bulletin board that she tod Sue were marked up lor uie aecond trick the following week. It was their routine turn to take that trick but she bit her lip in vexation. It meant she'd be seeing Ken. It was worse, however,, than Barbee had anticipated. He came into the laboratory grinning in his customary way. Then he. saw her and his smile altered. He nodded briefly. "Working this trick, now?" Barbee crimsoned furiously. Surely he didn't think she'd had her hours changed in order to see him. "We have to take the second shift every third week, you know," she explained coldly. He nodded again and walked over to Sue, impudently yanking at her shirt where it had worked out from the top of her slacks. "There's a swing shift show at the Camden tonight. Like to go after work?" - "Sure, big boy," Sue giggled. "Right-o. See you at eleven." He turned to Barbee. "Want to ride along? I can drop you at your house first This is a bad neighborhood for a girl alone in at night" Barbee was trembling. She dldnt know whether Ken was making this play for Sue in order to pay her back for the way she had hurt him, or whether he hon estly preferred the blond girl's company. She said, "No," shortly. "I . have a way home." It happened to be the truth. Her father had insisted that she drive the car since she was working late. XTHAT happened the next day " didn't help either. Sue came In giggling. The other two girls who were also working the after noon shift and Barbee were In the dressing room changing into their work clothes. Naturally they wanted to know what was funny. "You should have seen Ken Car ter last night" Sue giggled. "We went to a show and then we went over to the Gloria for a couple of drinks . . . only Ken didn't stop with a couple. He got so tight I had to drive the car and take him home. I bet he doesnt come in at all today." Barbee turned away.- Ken didn't come to work, and Sue seemed to relish telling every one why not Barbee listened to the story of the drinking party a dozen times, and with every hearing her disgust 'rew. She was sick of Ken, she was sick of Sue. She wished she didn't have to see either of them again. - At her first opportunity Barbee went over to the chief chemist's desk. - - , "Mr. Kent I was wondering if you wanted to put me on another Job now. I've learned the chloro gene test and it really doesn't take two of us to run it" "Well, maybe later," he agreed. Barbee was insistent "I'd like to be changed as soon as possible." Dave Kent ' was curious. He probed. "Why?" . There was no point in beating about the bush, Barbee decided. She'd be more likely to gain her request if she told him the truth. "I don't like Sue Keller. I don't like to work with her." - He looked worried. "I dont blame you,. Miss French. Susan Isn't all she might be. I've heard stories. This is wartime, and some girls seem to think that morals went out with silk stock ings." He built a pyramid with his . hands, looked down at them, the worried frown cleaving deeper in his forehead. "In fact too many people go haywire under the train of war work. Take Ken Carter. He used to be one of the best men we had in the shops. Now he gets drunk every night and comes to work with a hang over. A man isn't reliable in that condition. . We'll have to fire him If he doesn't straighten up." . "T DONT blame him altogether." -1 Dave Kent went on. "I know damned well how he feels. It's hard on a man to be a civilian now. Too many people wondering why he isn't in the Army. Too many wise cracks from those who don't know the facts. I've even heard that Ken's been going around to bone specialists trying to get one of them to re-break FUNNY BUSINESS k:.i T. i IV i I .If, vim mr T u ,K1 irtAT tut - "If he passes the cactus Gim COPVKIOHT. 14. !

He straight ened with a little jerk and tried to make his smile 'as cheerful as usual "Dont worry. I'll fix it so that you wont have to work with Sue. Stick it out this week, and I'll arrange a different schedule." Barbee went back to her work In a dare. Ken getting drunk. Ken trying to have his leg re-set Somehow these things Just weren't tike Ken as she had known him. He had resented the fact that his slight lameness kept him out of the service, but he hadn't been either morose or desperate about by Alice Brooks "There's gold in them thar hills."

It" The funniest thing about If win that she had a feeling of guilt, ns If she were somehow to blame for Ken's strange behavior. Why she didn't know. She had hurt his feelings by refusing to invite him to Ned's party, but that could have no connection with this or could It? She had a sudden glimmer of the truth. What if Ken had mis understood her reluctance to have him meet her family? what if he had thought it was because he wasnt in the Army that she'd been ashamed of him? The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that the had stumbled upon the truth.
