FEBRUARY 6, 1941 VVWWJVVWVVVWVVWAVAV Checkerb By JOSEPI VA-mVAVWAV.VWMm CHAPTER XII Audrey laughed softly as she said: "I don't wonder. Mr. Quinn. She's been a pretty constant bother to you. I'd say. But since you've heen so uncomplaining about it all. Miss Swan is going to ask you to come in for a few minutes." A few moments later they were standing at the sideboard. A little feeling of constraint came over them as they hesitated with their glasses poised. The atmosphere seemed changed with a sudden change in their relationship. Victor felt it keenly. He knew that in some way they were closer than ever before. There was a gentleness in Audrey's eyes when she lifted them to his that gave him a new thrill of happiness. "Many happy returns, Vic." "Thank you, Audrey. It's all been very beautiful, but I'm afraid it's laie." Audrey followed him into the hall without speaking. Before saying goodnight, Victor paused for a last look at the slim white figure in the dim glow of the hall lamp. Never had Audrey appeared so beautiful in his eyes, so altogether desirable. "Tell me something," he demanded in a low impetuous tone, "have I?I'm not slipping, am 1?" Audrey slowly shook her head "No. Vic. You've been very sweet.' With a swift movement he caughl her nearest hand and pressed it softly to his lips. As if unable tc trust himself, he turned without a word and left her standing there. He was whistling happily when he let himself in his own front door and was about to extinguish the lamp on the table when he caught sight of a bit of paper. A note, ill his landlady's precise handwriting. "Mr. Quinn, "Dear sir. the long distance wants you. Even if it is late when you get in she says. "Respectfully, "Mrs. Caroline Asher." In a few moments a familiar voice came to his ear. "That you, Vic? Hope I didn't get you out of bed." "No. You caught me getting in What's up? Anything amiss?" "Plenty, Vic. I've got to see you and under the circumstances I can'1 very well come down. Can you gel up here by tomorrow evening? Oi I'll meet you part way, if you': rather." "I was planning to come up ir the next day or so. I can make il tomorrow. Where shall I find you?" "Make it the bar of the Adams About six. I'll be hanging around.' "Jeff, you're all right?" "Sure. A trifle sloppy. Just an other case of the well-known jam Thanks a lot, old man. Be scein you." When Victor Quinn hurried ink the Adams House bar he glancet apprehensively along the line o men at the mahogany. When Jeffrey called him he had sounded as if h< might have been drinking, and by this time he might not be in shapt for a satisfactory conference. To Victor's relief, Jeffrey wai impeccably dressed and apparently whpr He erinned cheerfullv as hi' friend approached, but he lookct haggard in spite of the attempt "Saw you sizing up the bar flies.' he laughed. "All ready to drag mc out, weren't you? Sit down. Might} glad to see you." "Glad to see you," Victor return ed, scanning his face closely. "Yot look as if you'd been working hard What have you been doing Witt yourself?" "Me? Oh, I'm in the way of be coming a captain of industry. Beet working for my daddy-in-law fo) quite some time. He turned out tc be a very decent chap after he wa: convinced that I was done with th< flcshpots and wanted to settli down. I'm in the sales. Strange t< say, I've been getting quite a kicl out of it." "That's great." "Maybe. That old gentleman ha a notion at the moment that it migh be a fair idea to send me abroad fo a change. There's an opening it the Brussels office and I can speal French well enough to argue for ou product." "That sounds fine. What doe Mrs. Castle think? All set to gi with you, I suppose." "Not exactly. As a matter of fad Vic, she isn't here for a time." Victor felt his heart sink. Some thing wrong between Olive am Jeff. That accounted for his sum mons. "Do you care to tell m where she is?" he asked quietly. Tn roci/lonfO " XVCHU* in There was a moment's silence broken by Vic's sympathetic, Tr sorry." "But not surprised," Jeffrey fin ished bitterly. "I gutss i asked fo it. I won't contest, of course. An there you are." "But I cant get it yet." Victc pondered. "I knew that Olive wa , very much averse to coming bac to Parville. But I ?m?ncoH sh would be delighted to have her fath er take you in." "That's the whole point, Vic. Th AWV%WJV\WAVA\WA%V. oard Love -I McCORD WWWWWWWAWWWW vice presidents' jobs were all taken and I elected to start in and learn the business. 1 couldn't see my way clear to take every other afternoon off and play around all night. Anyway. matters kept getting worse and worse until the big bust came. I could have bought salvation any lime by turning gigolo or something. And I couldn't." "Naturally not. May I ask what Mr. Harrison thinks?" "Oh, he took my side right from the stait. He wants me to stay on as if nothing had happened. That Brussels idea was sort of an easy out for me. But I can't see it, of course." "Why?" "Oil, maybe there is no good excuse. But I can't quite down it for some reason or other." The waiter arrived at that point and the subject had to be dropped 1 for the time being. The two men ate in silence until Victor remarked in n nncnol t?U-J - ... u v....uui * uoiiiuii. ii<iu a vi'iy pleasant time last evening at your ' l;ouse." "How are the folks?" ' "Your mother didn't look to well, Jeff. 1 knew that she had rather a difficult winter of it, but she insists she's much better." "Listen, fella." Jeffrey laid down I his knife and fork and looked steadily into his friend's eyes. "I ! know what you're leading up to and j you may as well understand now that there's nothing doing. Don't get the idea that I don't know what I've done to my people. You'll . never know what I've paid for that, , or how I dreamed of making it up to them by becoming a success at something. And now that's all washed up along with everything else." ; "Listen, Jeff. You belong there, i I don't. Oh, I know you're getting ready to spring that one about not knowing any law. All that job takes is a little horse sense, no prol'es, sional wizardy. What's more, Miss Annie seems to be getting well. It wouldn't surprise me much to see her back looking for her old job. It would be a cinch lor you. I don t want to seem to be going soft, Jeff, t but I can't help thinking of your I father and mother. You've no idea what it would do to them?for them, I 1 mean. Think it over." "Not necessary, old man. It's dei cent of you. Just what I would ext pect. But that's out. No matter ' what you do. For the present, I'm staying away from Parville. After ' it all blows over, that will be something else. I have no plans. But, - believe it or not, this experience . with Harrison's has given me a lot of confidence in myself." "Look here, Jeff, We seem to have J the cards mostly face up. Why did 1 you call me last night? Did you f merely want to spill? Or are you ' willing to have me help you if 1 i can?" ' "Guess it was partly habit, Vic. I 1 was beginning to feel pretty ragged and I thought maybe you could r brace up the old morale a bit. You ' have." > "What about your father getting 1 in on this?" "I don't know. I've never told anybody about our last session. He - practically threw me out, even if it ' was done with a fine gesture." "Let me tell your father. He's - going to find out sooner or later. 1 believe it will give him a big lift." Jeffrey drained the last of his ale i and sat staring in deep preoccupation at the empty etlass. "On one condition," was the final > judgment. "Exactly one, Vic." r "Say on." 1 "That you don't pull any fine ges? ture on your own account?abou' - easing out of the practice and thai - rot." 3 "Maybe he'll ease me out." t "Hardly. You can make it plain that I'm not coming home to stay, now or in the future. I should like s to feel free to visit, on my mother's t account, you know. And in youi r diplomatic fashion, you might drop i a gentle hint that the first move is ' up to him." r "O. K." "I have your word for it?" s "My word of honor." 0 Victor had attended to the one errand he had in the city and daylight found him on the road to Par ville.
