CHAPTER II
Champ Fields, managing editoi
of the Westhaven Clarion, fires
Tony Blake, Eut Barbara West, his
secretary intercedes. Tony saves
himself by scoring a news beat and
gets a raise in pay instead. Tony
takes arbara out t<x dinner and lat
er to a dance, when he tells her
how much he loves her.
She was trembling as she lol
lowed him to the door, But they
were not to escape so easily. Tony
was called to the telephone. When
he came back his gray eyes were
blazing with excitement. "The
Chief is sending me down to New
Y ork,” he explained. “The town’s
full of reporters from tne big pa
pers, but tne Associoted Press
wants me to bring the Kelly story
in myself. I’ll have to send you
home in a taxi, sugar,’’ he explain
ed. “I ve got to catch the eight-ten
to New York. You don’t mind?’
“It’s all right,’’ she salt.
Tony was hailing a cab. He put
her inside and paid the driver. The
window was down on her side.
Tony stood looking in at her.
“They've got to give me fhree days
off next week-end to make up for
this.’’ he said, and grinned at her
crookedly. “Three days ought t$
be enough for a couple like us 10
get married.”
married; gaspeu uaium».
Tony's eyes were a little desper
ate. “You’ll probably live to re
gret it,” he said, “but I hope you
’re game. I mean, if you'll take a
chance on me, I’ll be tickled pink'
“Oh, Tony!"
“We shoold be able to take a
swell honeymoon on five hundred
dollars,” he said in a muffled voice
Barbara’s heart was pounding in
j her throat. “Are you proposing to
me, Tony?” she stammered.
“Rep,” muttered Tony, “and
I making a terrible flop of it. 1 al
I ways thought I wasn’t a marrying
man. Only now 1 want to get mar
ried. How I wawnt to! That is, 1
want to marry you. Will you?”
“Yes, Tony," she whispered.
“Gee!” breathed Tony, "am £
happy!” He thrust his head in at
the taxi window and kissed Barba
ra swiftly. “Heck, it's three min
utes to train time So long, sugai,
!■—1 11 be seeing you.”
“G-good-by, Tony, d-darling
faltered Barbara.
But Tony was already tearing
down the street in his battered fliv
ver. leaning out to wave frani #
ally at her as he took the conuf
on two wheels.
Tony telephoned her from th.
station. The train was ten minut."
late. He said he had so much ic
tell her. He said he didn’t know
why he was so fussed around htf
“My tongue ties itself in knots, *
he confessed ruefully. “Whai
makes it so funny, I could alway.
say sweet nothings to girls I didn’t
give a darn about. Explain that ii
you can. Miss West.'
He said he would write her from
N'ew York. “Take good care oi
yourself, kid,” he said. “You kinu
of make all the difference to me.'
"You don’t exactly stand fn
nothing in my life," retorted
Tony laughed. “You can t make
me mad that way sugar,” he said
“Good-by.”
Barbara was a little disconcer
ted when she reached the office
the next morning to find that tie
news of her engagement had pre
ceded her. Tony had told the go
at the station. They said he had
been walking on air. They said he
acted as if he had come into a for
tune and could not keep it to him
self.
It was apparent right from the
start that neither her friends nor
Tony's believed their marriage
would work out. People told Bar
bara that she was too practical
and matter-of-fact to be happy
married to a harum-scarum like
Tony Blake. They said she ought
to marry someone like Martin
Fagg. Martin agreed with them.
He had been in tending to ask her
to marry him for some time. “1
was just waiting till I paid my
business out and got a little mon
ey ahead,” he said reproachfully.
“I thought you knew that.”
Martin was twenty-seven ond he
was already on the way to becom
ing one of the pillars of the com
munity. He had worked his way
through school and clerked in s
drygoods store until he had sovec
enough to go into business foi
himself. He had a small ready-to
wear shop which was doing verj
well. “I don’t think a man has th«
right to marry a woman until h<
knows he can take care of her,' he
told Barbara.
"I’m sorry, Martin,” she falter
ed. “You’ve always been so nice
to me and I’m fond of you, very
fond. I always will be, but I love
Tony.”
Martin’s face crinkled up. "1
can’t understand it,” he blurted
out. “Blake is a spoiled child, Bar
bara. He’ll never be anything else.
I thought you admired common
sense and solid qualities in a man'
Martin was quite good looking.
He had a nice physique and was
immaculate in his dress and person
His brown hair was always nombed
just so. He had steady, faithful
brown eyes.
“Just another good guy gone
wrong,” sighed Hank Woods.
Hank and Tony grew up in the
same town, but Hank came from
the wrong side of the railroad
tracks. That had not prevented
Tony from taking Hank wherever
Tony went. With Tony it was a
case of like m* like my friend*.
A *■
While Tony was at the University
Hank secured a position on the
Clarion, driving a truck for the
circulation department. When 'to
ny received his degree, Hank per
suaded Champ Fields to take Tony
on the paper. Tony’s position was
much better than Hank’s, who
wore overalls. His hands were us
ually grimy.
“Sure, Hank’s a roughneck,
Tony told Barbara once, “but he 4
tight a circular sow for me and
you don’t make friends like that
every day.”
Barbara had received a telegram
from Tony as soon as he reached
New York:
FORGOT TO SAY I’M CRAZY
ABOUT YOU ISN'T THA,
PRICELESS LOVE TONY
It was exactly like Tony to tack
on an extra word and make the
telegram cost twice as much as it
might have, thought Barbara. To
ny never worried about expenses,
but she did. Her father had been
ill for three years before he died.
His illness consumed all his sav
ings. They had had to go into fTebt
so deeply that Barbara lay awake
nights wondering what would be
come of them. She could not re
member her mother. The respon
sibility had left her with a terri
ble fear of being caught in such
straits again. Her father’s life in
surance had cleared the debts
away, but nothing was ever to tree
Barbara from her dread of being
penniless.
sne naa a lener irom lony me
next morning. It was a funny let
ter but it brought tears to Barba
ra’s eyes. “You wouldn’t believe
it,” wrote Tony, “but I can’t make
love on paper to you. After all the
love letters I've written with my
tongue in my cheek, when I want
to tell you I love you, my pen gets
the blind staggers. Must be be
cause you're the most tremendous
thing that ever happened to me.
l'lease read between the lines, it
you can, sugar. Anyway, I'll be
seeing you tomorrow. Yours ex
clusively. Tony.”
Barbara counted the hours until
Tony’s return and then, as the
time, she suffered an attack of
nerves. After at., she and Tony
were barely acquaintetd. “Maybe
everybody’s right.’’ she told her
self in a panic. “Maybe I’m crazy
to think our marriage can work
When she heard Tony's vocifc in
the outer office that afternoon her
fingers turned to ice. 'then sud
denly he opened the door and
waved at her. “Hi!” he said.
Nothing mattered except that
Tony loved her and she loved him
and they were going to belong to
each other forever. “Hello, Tony,”
she whispered.
He came over to her eagerly,
but the gang streamed in after
him. They made a ring about To
ny and Barbara. They did a war
dance, chanting the old nursery
rhyme:
, “Needles and pins, needles and
pins,
When a man marries his trouble
begins,.”
Tony held Barbara’s hand tight
ly. “Let ’em rave,” he said. “We
know what we’re~ doing.”
“I wonder,” faltered Barbara.
Tony's friends had entered in
to a friendly conspiracy to enter
t ain him and his fiancee. They
gave a party at a roadhouse the
night he returned from New York
Barbara thought they were, to say
the least, crude. Tony apologized
on the way home. “They’re a sweTT
bunch of folks when you get to
know them, kid. You'll like ’em, ’
he said.
Several were newspaper people,
others advertising men. There was
a young lawyer in the group, a
building architect, and three med
ical students. They held informal
meetings almost nightly at various
taverns and discussed the books
or plays or houses or briefs which
they were going to do ome day.
She noticed that as a rule Tony
paid the checks.
“That’s because I’m flush right
now,” he explained. “The reward
, money, you know. Next week
probably Paul will sell an article
or Dave snare a client and the
party’ll be on them. Meanwhile,
I’m elected.”
Barbara liked the women in the
crowd no better than the men.
One was a woman artist with black
bangs and a throaty voice who
called Tony “beloved Peter Pan '
with every other breath. Her name
was Wanda Lytle although Tony
' told Barbara privately that Wanda
had been born plain Maggie Piltz.
“Tony’s spirit has wings,” Wan
da informed Barbara in a lofty
voice. “It would be the sin unpar
donable to drag his soul down to
earth.”
“After all,” Barbara pointed
out dryly, “even a winged spirit
has to eat and have somewhere to
sleep. They’ve even been known
to require shoes.”
Tony told Barbara later not to
think Wanda as goofy as she
sounded. “She’s really a grand
gal,” he confided.
“Of course you know about
Tony’s play,” said Wanda.
“His play?" Barbara eachoed
blankly.
“Did you ever see a newspaper
man who wasn’t writing a play?”
he asked.
“Did you ever know one to fin
j ish it?” inquired Hank Woods.
Hank went along with the crowd
’ because Tony insisted, but Hank
had no more use for the mthan
than they had for him. “They cant
imagine what Tony sees in me,'1
ha said to Barbara. “They’ve lab
eled me the Cbiyiitous Moron, i
had to ask Tony how to spell it be
fore 1 could look it up in the dic
tionary. It means I in a log-grade
mentality who is always under l o
ny’s feet.’”
“I’m afraid that’s the way they
feel about me, ’ sighed Barbara.
On one point Barbara was ada
mant. She would not agree to givi
up her job until ttiey were out 01
debt. “It's a complex with me,
she told him. “1 can’t stand being
in debt.”
"But darling, Mother doesn t
care if 1 never pay her, protested
Tony.
“I care,” said Barbara, her face
white. “You’ll just have to beat
with me about this. Tony. It's my
weakness, I suppose, but it scares
me to death to have no money
rhead. I'll work until we have a

“You’re the captain. I’m just the
Barbara had been living in a
boardinghouse run by a motherly
and eminently respectable widow
But Barbara emphatically did not
want to go on boarding after she
married Tony. So they decided to
mive into the flat Tony was occu
pying. It was within walking dis
tance of the office and the rent
was reasonable.
“It’s not the finest place in the
town," said Tony, “but I guess we
would be happy if we lived in a
goods box, so long as it was to
gether—eh, Miss West?”
They were driving over to the
flat at the moment in Tony’s rick
ety car. They were to be married
the next afternoon. Barbara was
taking over some of her things. “1
do so want to make you happy.

Hello, Dunce,
In answer to some of the ques

"ittie bit different tor in there
most all the low grounds and part
of tiie lulls had been cleaned out.
rite morning we went up there

foot of the hill was two American
i hoys dead. The hills were mostly
narks and holes with caves all ov
er the pla *e. Digging was out ot
the question, we used sand bags
for positions as 1 went down a
path I heard a rifle lire and some
one said you better get down up
ihere. 1 did but later I found out
.t was as sate there as any place
else in file hills. The tlus and odoi
was plenty bad. there was mighty
little tiring in the day time, except
when some one let go at a hole
some place. The Japs were plenty
thick.That tiisl night 1 dont know
now many were killed but one
l know was killed as iie tried to
get in the emplacement with tile
ooys after we got there. 1 dont
think the Japs ever used anything
but grenades with machine guns,
and they didnt lire much at night
after the first few nights the ooys
would stand up and look around
while planes were up looking loi
them. There may he one killed m
front of the Yanks position m Uio
day time. The Japs would shoot
you and at night your own men
would think you were a Jap and
shoot you. So all you could do
was let him stay there and stink.
None of the hoys 1 knew was ev
er shot in a place they couhln V
be gotout of.The Japs can go to
places you would think was im
possible to go without being seen,
ji ou could expect them to conn
front any way at night, you couTT.

night Japs would come out ol' it
Some men went in a cave trying
to figure out how the bast way to
close it. Fifteen Japs came oui
and gave up, two came out first
and talked to a guy who could
talk to them he said there were
more in there, they sent him back
and got the lest. This cave was
blown up several times. Some ot
the other boys and 1 went to look
around one was in there* asleep or
at least he was lying down. One
of the boys killed him and we got
the hell out of there, no hu re
fooling around for me.
You ask wliat I needed I can I

The instrument in the home is a very small part of the
equipment needed to give telephone service. There must
be a pair of wires leading from the house to the pole line,
a pair of wires in the overhead cable, and another pair in
the underground cable, switchboards and a vast amount of
central office equipment.
When we cannot give you service it may be because of
the shortage of one or all of these items. Of those persons
r waiting for service, only about one-third could be served
if instrument* were available. If you are waiting for home telephone service, we
think we know how you feel. You would like it now. And we would like to install it
for you now.
But as long as the needs of war have first claim on telephone facilities
and until manufacture of equipment in adequate quantity is resumed, we
cannot tell you when we will be able to serve you. Your order is important
ond we promise it will not be forgotten. It will be reviewed frequently anJ
will be filled in its proper turn. That might be some time after final victory.
