DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA. SATURUDAY, uy 2, 1929 | f i " %l 8 fl A called on a faintly. v. AVY) 155 SYNOPRIS Dr. Davis, recently married to 2 1 Davis, is having lunch with « Babbitt and his friend, Myra, 2 wen Babbitt is called ocway. Macy happens into the same hotel and is Jurious at seeing her husband with a girl. After explanations, Davis and May make up. Myra, wasurally firtutious, decides to fur- ther the acquaintance wf % Davis ond goes to his office to be wacct- saied. She is discovered by May ana Beranger-de Brie, a perfumer, who is returning some gloves May left in his shop. Another quarrel; another reconciliation. Davis is “case,” only to find Budoitt and Myra, who pretends the voccination is hurting. CHAPTER IX—Continued - "Well, look. here, I've got to get heme myself. / Joe, you can see that Miss Pfeffer gets home all right, can’t you?” “Ill take her home, if she o likes,” Ollie Lee put in. “Do you want me to take you home, darling?” Vivienne came over and put her arm around Myra. “Oh, no thanks. Doctor, please take me home. I need medical at- tention—there’s something the matter.” N “There can’t be anything the matter,” Davis put in brusquely. “It’s taking it's natural course, that’s all.” “But you don’t know how it hurts, doctor,” Myra answered “Please take me home.” “It’s simply ‘awful. Oh, please take me home.” “Look here, Joe,” Davis pulled his friend aside and spoke in a low tone. “I've got to get home right away, and that's all there is to it. I'm in bad enough now as it iy, and May’s on the war path. I can’t take this girl home. There's nothing the matter with her—she’ll be all right in a day or so. See if you can’t persuade her.” “S Ed,” Babbitt nodded sym- Sure, pathetically. “Look here, Myra.” He turned to tue girl. “We'll all take you home right away, if you want to go. It’s a damned shame, but if you feel sick why—" “Oh, no—no—I won't break up the party. Please doctor, if you'll Jus . ¢rop me at my house—” “ “Ju might as well take her,” Joe & nnounced. “She won't go with us—"’ ‘all right,” Davis growled. “Here, get your coat on.” He held up-the cloak and threw it over Mpyra’s shoulders. “Won't do you any good to catch cold with a vaccination. Button it up around your throat.” “Thank you, doctor,” Myra Te- turned submissively. Swaying slightly, she rose and gathered about her the coat that Dr. Davis was holding. “I'm terribly sorry,” she mur- mured to the others around the table, “but I'm too sick to stay any longer. I'll feel much better when 1 get out in the air.” “Are you sure there's nothing I can do for you, dear,” Vivienne asked solicitously. But there was a peculiar, cold gleam in her green- ish eyes and the tiniest trace of mockery in her voice. Vivienne felt pretty certair that sie saw through Myra’s bit of play-acting. “Would you like me to come along with you?” she added. “No—Oh, no, thank you just the game, dear,” Myra answered quick- ly. “I want to be quiet.” “1 understand,” Vivienne mur- mured. Myra sent a warning glance from beneath lowered eyelids, but said mothing. “Well, are you ready?’ Davis broke in impatiently. “I've got to hurry—" “I'm so sorry to put you to all this - trouble, Doctor,” Myra an- swered feebly. “But. I feel so much gafer when I know that 1 ‘have INSTALLMENT SIXTEEN 50% just | Street. \ Tovar a dC TR someone with me whro knew: what to Go for ine. ‘Cood-bys,: every. body,” she called feebly over a.r shoulder. “Call me tomorrow, Vivienne, will you?” “I'll give you a ring about twelve, dear,” Vivienze answered. Good night, and I hope you'll feel better.” “Good-night—good-night—" As Myra and Davis went out the door, Vivienne laughed softly. “What are you laughing at, Viv?" Babpitt turned to the girl, frown- ing. ' “It’s a rotten shame Myrna feels so bad. I didw’t know she'd been vaccinated. Why, what's the matter?” he looked from Vivienne to Ollie Lee as he saw them both grinning at each other. “So you were on, Vivienne giggled. “On to what?” Babbitt persisted. “I wouldn’t have been, if it hadn't been for the way you talked, I don’t think,” Ollie Lee returned. “What're you talking about?” Babbitt demanded. “Oh, you poor, dear, simple soul,” Vivienne answered. “Couldn’t you gee that Myra was shamming? “Shamming ?”’ Babbitt ‘was puze zled. “She’s no more sick than I am,” the girl retorted. “Well, but—what th’—didn’t she have any vaccination?” “Sure she did,” Vivienne ex- plained. ‘She went to Dr. Davis's office this afternoon and told him a good story about having a case of dyptheria or something next door, and got him to vaccinate her. But she’s all right. That was a good bluff. I knew she was going to try something when she let him go so easily. I just couldn’t help getting in my dirty digs—it was so obvious.” “Well, ‘I'll be blowed!” whistled. “Joe-y, dear,” Vivienne informed him laughingly, ‘the longer you live the less you'll ever understand us gur-r-ls.” too, Ollie,”- Babbitt CHAPTER X As fast as her feet would carry her, May ran to the garage around the corner where she kept her own little runabout. Nodding briefty to the watchman on duty she found her car, jumped in and backed it out into the street. She started to ask the watchman if he knew where Sundon Street was, and then dediced that discretion was the bet- ter part of valor. If she was start- ing on a wild-goose chase, there was no need to divulge her destina- tion to the man, who would be able ‘to tell her husband, in case he re- turned and tried to find her where- abouts, that she had asked about this place. She stepped on the ace celerator and sped off. does Flying recklessly past street corners, swerving around slower moving motors, now edging along- side a ear, now passing it, she went on until she came to the more crowded sections of the city. Streets glittered brilliantly with moving slogans of light, store win- dows bright with electricity sped past her, shuttered windows with drawn blinds ' like closed = eyes slumbered. At a’'convenient corner May drew up and questioned the traffic officer concerning Sundon With the directions once in her mind, she started off again, her round, determined chin thrust slightly forward. I'll show him, she was repeating to herself; I'll show Mr. Edward Davis. There’s one thing I won’t be and that’s deceived. It's cheap and common. Well, maybe what I'm doing’s cheap and common, but : at least I'll know—there goes the red light. Not time for hcavy trafic yet; I ought to be there in fifteen minntes. Ed must think I'm a fool—there goes the green light. But I've got to find out—I've sim- ply got to find—Is that car going to turn the corner—well, why doesn’t he hold his hand out—that was a narrow escape. I've got to find out whether he’s really out with some- one or not. It’s silly, all this business of be- ing jealous of someone, but I can’t help it. I'm too much in love with Ed, that’s the trouble—O, look, that red light! Wonder how much further this place is—wonder if it’s villagey—no, too far over on the East side for that. Maybe he’s not there, anyhow, maybe he put that address down just to fool me, may- be—the green light. I ought to be almost there by now. What if I do find him with someone else— what’m I going to do about it, any- how? I do wish people wouldn't cut 80 close when they drive—they almost took that front fender with them. Here's where I turn. Down the side street she turned, following the same route taken by Davis earlier in the evening. At last Sundon Street, and May pulled up near fhe number she was seeking. She leaned out of the window and Jooked around. A Chinese restau- rant, that was 528. Well’ it didn’t look particularly inviting. What a strange place to meet anyone. She noted the cars parked along the curb and inspected them. She sat bolt upright. There was Ed’s car, no mistaking it—she had carefully memorized the license number. Seo he was here, after all. | draws BOILS to a natural hcad BEAR BRAND BALYES ls package includes spat- ula. BS dage and tape.
