CHAPTER 45
- MARCIA read the newspapers
I and sighed. Unconsciously she
' blamed Walt for the collapse of
the Acme company, for Abe had
'followed his lead in looking for
'“easy money”. Never too scrupu
lous, he had needed just the en
couragement Walt so slyly gave.
She hated to see the company she
had conscientiously helped to build
crumble into obscurity because of
man’s greed.
Suddenly, she thought of Sandy’s
rough-and-tumble fight in that
office, a fight which should have
.served as a warning for both Abe
and Walt. A half smile crossed
her face as she remembered
‘Sandy’s pride in administering that
beating, then abruptly it faded
away as she thought of Sandy
himself. She had not heard from
him in a month, except for the two
little cards found in her mail box
when she had returned from Santa
'Cruz. She thrust the paper from
iher viciously as she thought of
iPaula.
Sandy, who had hesitated to in
trude upon Marcia during the
hectic days a month ago when her
success first became apparent, had
called twice at her apartment
while she was in the mountains
and had been informed she had
gone away for a rest, “at Garrett
Warren’s cousin’s home”. Deter
mined not to let his jealousy get
the better of him again, he had
merely left a card and hoped Mar
cia would call when she returned.
She had been home two weeks
and sent him no word, so Sandy
reasoned she either was too en
grossed in her own success, or her
love for him had dimmed. He was
so concerned with this worry that
•hg paid scant attention to the
(newspaper screamers about Acme.
“Old Abe probably is feeling
around already for some other
scheme or deal to make quick
money,” he told Mike Borst who
happened to be lounging in his
office reading another newspaper
account. Then he laughed aloud
as another thought struck him.
-ill’ll bet the old boy is out right
now trying to sell what accounts
he has left. Too bad I don’t stand
i better in his good graces, I might
(have a chance to buy in some new
‘business cheap!”
j “Failing that, how would you
like to buy an almost new suit,
also cheap?” Mike questioned
•him. “I seem to be at dead ends
j just at this moment; nobody wants
•a publicity man, and the radio sta
tions no longer crave to hear my
mellow voice.”
“Maybq they don’t like that
whiskey tenor, young fella,” Sandy
said thoughtfully. For a long time
he had wondered if he could find
ian opportunity to help Mike, for
ihe had heard rumors along the
row that the man was letting
drink interfere with his work.
"Aw, I don’t drink so much,”
'Mike was embarrassed, then his
humor got the better of him. “I
can’t afford to!”
“But the trouble with you, Mike,
you have too .many bad friends
who are willing to set you up to a
drink qn any excuse. Why don’t
you cut it out?” he asked serious

Hot Weather is Here—
Beware of Biliousness!
Have you ever noticed that in
very hot weather your organs of
digestion and elimination seem to
become torpid or lazy? Your food
sours, forms gas, causes belching,
heartburn, and a feeling of rest
lessness and irritability. Perhaps
you may have sick headache,
nausea and dizziness or blind
spells on suddenly rising. Your
tongue may be coated, your com
plexion bilious and your bowel
actions sluggish or insufficient.

ly, then seeing the growing re
sentment in Mike’s eyes he went
on quickly, “Oh, I know. You
need it to relax your nerves after
working at top speed in this pro
fession. That old alibi is no good
any more, Mike. You aren’t work
ing so hard and {here's no point in
trying to drown your sorrows or
pickle yourself in brine.”
“What do you want me to do,
make a bid to Abe and set myself
up in the advertising business? If
I had any money, I wouldn’t give
it to that lemon squeezer.” Mike
was glad to bring the subject back
to an impersonal point. But Sandy
was not so easily deterred.
“Forget Abe. He’s left the field
open to decent advertising men by
folding up. I only hope a few of
the other unethical birds follow
suit. But can’t you see any en
couragement for yourself in his
actions?”
“Nope. Or, say—do you want
me to be an ambulance chaser?”
“Why not? Acme has lost
about a dozen accounts, some of
them pretty good ones. Why don’t
you comb the straw out of your
hair and get after them? There
are a couple I think you’re par
ticularly qualified to land. That is
if you buck up and stay bucked.”
“Boy, I’d be Sitting Buck him
self if I could put my hands on
some honest cash. Do you really
think I’ve got a chance?” Uncon
sciously Mike straightened up,
squared his shoulders and began
to face the future with something
like interest. He had hit a stretch
of bad luck and, as Sandy ac
cused, too many bad friends had
helped him while away the time.
Sandy drew a sigh of relief when
he saw Mike was not going to re
sent his interference. He wanted
to help the likeable chap.
“It’s a setup,” he said to give
him further confidence. “You
should go first to McDonald over
at the Bancroft hotel. His prob
lem is mostly publicity, and he
goes for radio in a big way.”
“Right down my alley!” boasted
Mike, then turned in perplexity to
Sandy. “But you, why don’t you
have a try for it? Doesn’t look
to me as if another job or two
would be amiss around here.”
Sandy shook his head. “Two
reasons: First, I’m working on a
competitive account; second, I’m
not so well equipped on the radio
end of "it. And that’s in spite of
the little initiation I got when I
tried to pinch hit for you!” Mike,
too, smiled wryly when he remem
bered the disastrous results of
that brief experience over the air.
“Well, I’m glad that it’s ethics
and not pity that made you turn
the job over to me,” he said, cher
ishing his self-respect. I might
stand for one, but the other—!”
“Forget it,” Sandy said gruffly.
“Let’s call McDonald and find out
if he’ll* see you. He’s a pretty
good friend of mine.” And Sandy
reached a long arm after the tele
phone. A brief conversation and
he turned to Mike. “He’s going
to be at the Trocadero tonight
with a party of friends. Asked
me to bring you in, he’s got some
thing in mind. Looks like it’s hot,
or he wouldn’t want to see you
right away.”
Mike grasped his hand firmly

and with an embarrassed grin
picked up his hat and started to
leave. “Well, I’ll go home and coax
the moths out of my other suit.
D’you think they’d like to gnaw
holes in doughnuts for a change?”
He had closed the door behind him,
when he popped his head back in
again. “I’ll meet you at the Troc
about 10!”
Sandy breathed a sigh of relief.
If he could *only straighten out his
own problems in the same easy
fashion! But women and love
were ticklish subjects. “There’s
only one thing I’m sure of, and
that is that I love Marcia,” he
thought miserably. “Once I was
jealous of her ambitions and of
any man who dared look at her;
now I’m letting her success stand
between us. Maybe I’ve had the
wrong hunch, to let her have her
fill of it. Maybe I should have
another try to win her over?”
Fearing to make even one more
mistake in this peculiar comedy of
love errors, he paced the floor ner
vously. Looking out over the city
that was still sweltering in the late
afternoon sun, he decided once
more to discuss the future with
Marcia. Calling the Warren pub
lishers, he was informed, “Miss
Madden is working at home; we
are not permitted to give her tele
phone number.” Sandy banged up
the receiver. Did they think they
could keep him from Marcia that
easily? Quickly he called the
familiar number to her apartment,
and a pleased smile quirked his
lips as he heard her voice.
“Ah, Marcia!” he exclaimed
boyishly. “It’s been so long since
I’ve heard your voice. How are
you, darling?”
“Slightly wilted. And you?”
she said almost formally. “I hear
you’ve been dreadfully busy.”
Sandy thought she referred to
the press of office duties, not know
ing she believed him practically
engaged to Paula. “Yes, just
couldn’t tear myself away,” he
said, and didn’t want to admit over
the telephone that he had purpose
ly stayed away to give her a fair
chance'to enjoy her success.
“How touching,” she said sar
castically. “How did you happen
to call today?”
Sandy did not catch the sar
casm in Marcia’s voice, being too
engrossed in his own hastily
formulated plans. "Marcia, I’ve
got to see you. Tonight. It must
be tonight. Can I pick you up?”
Marcia was puzzled at the ex
citement in his voice, and won
dered what he had to discuss of so
much moment. For a second she
hoped wildly he meant to tell her
the stories about Paula were false,
then decided she was a sentimental
fool.
She forced her voice to be mat
ter-of-fact when she said, “Not to
night,’ Sandy. I’m going to the
Trocadero with Garrett Warren.
A sort of speeial celebration.” As
she heard the disappointment in
his voice, she said brokenly,
“Another time?” and hung up the
phone.
What would Sandy say if she
admitted this party had been spe
cially planned by Gary—who hoped
she w r as finally going to say “yes”
to his proposal.

whose name was n A. learned, firing at
another Negress. As the office; s were
leaving their autjmobiie, the woman
opened fire upon them. They returned
fire simultaneously, and the woman
fell, mortally wounded, dying with
her gun in her hand. Neither of the
officers were hit, according to ad

It was in this same section about
two months ago that Chief Jackson
killed a Negro in a pitched gun tattle,

ahead is quite hazardous. Had Sena
tor Simmons bolted A1 Smith in 1936 in
stead of 1928 the chances are strong
that the Senator would be breaking
the all-time record for continuous sen
ate service. But it was a fatal timing
in 1928 with its nearness to 1930.
Similarly, Senator Bailey may find
1942 voters less liberal toward him
than the primary of 1936 was. But
the reputed “Stand-by-Bailey” club is
believed to have more concern for
1940 than for the two years later pri
mary in which Bailey may be a can
didate to succeed himself. The Stand
by-Bailey people probably would op
pose the Roosevelt candidate for pres
ident. It is not yet accepted in Ra
leigh that Bailey may himself be a
candidate for the nomination, though
this suggestion has been made innum
erable times. And color is given to it
by very close friends of Senator Bailey
who “would not bp surprised if Bailey
is seriously considered as the nomi
nee.”
Beyond the purpose of promoting a
more conservative presidential candi
dacy than the Roosevelt success or
personally chosen by Roosevelt might
prove or of advancing the Bailey name
for national conservation, the propos
ed Stand-By-Baileyites could formu
late no timely excuse for such a club
but there are good men everywhere
in the State who think that such a
club is to be formed.
“It’s natural European countries
are constantly getting on each other’s
nerves,” writes a continental apologist
“they are so close together.” Guess
there must be a big ocean between
the United States and Canada that
we don’t know about.
