NEWARK COURIER-GAZETTE AND MARION ENTERPRISE. NEWARK, N. Y THURSDAY/MARCH 6, 1941 r J-' B y Mac Arthur TELEPHONE 7| m C h a p ter 14 I “Three cheers for Miss Lucy!” said Mark. “TJien what?” “Mrs. Summerville told Miss Tredway to leave the house at onee, sir. She said she’d been to all the parents of Miss Valerie’s friends, and they had assured . her they would not let their children associate with her, un less Miss Lucy left. I —” “I see,” said Mark. \I don’t believe I want to hear any more. That’s enough to go on with. After all, I might have known! He stood staring ■ at the Are. Chiltern had seen tempers be fore, but never Mark's. He bad gone Iquite white, as he stood there, his hands clenched at his sides. “Thank you, sir,” said Chil tern at last. “May I go now, sir?” “IFes—no, wait. Have you anything to suggest? I mean about finding Miss Tredway?” “She’went away in the old van—the one they call The Ark---” “So that’s it—” He stopped, realizing that of course Chiltern knew nothing about Lucy’s .check. “I should go after .her, sir, if you’ll allow me to suggest. The old bus couldn't be making any great speed.” “Where do you suppose she’d b? heading?\ “Where did' you m£et Miss Lucy, sir, if I may ask?\ “Allington! It’s a good thing one of us has a head on him! Have Catlet run out the town car, I want you t o come along. We’ll have to s tart at once.” .• • “And Miss Valerie, sir?” . “I’ll send her over to Miss Efiflicott’s. I wouldn’t dare leave ■her here. She might have been sent to Siberia by the time we got back!” ■Chlltem allowed himself to smile. \You might get Miss Endicott on the telephone for me. Then tell Mrs. Banwood we may be away for a few days. Give her whatever instructions you please. Then pack yourself a • bag. and meet me here in an ■ hour.\ \Very good. sir.\ said Chil tern, He got Shirleys number, and left the room. Shirley was in, luckily. Would she put Valerie up for a night or two? Mark asked. Valerie would explain. Loving Mark, being a tactful woman, and knowing human nature, she asked no questions, but said she’d adore having Valerie. He put down the telephone and went upstairs. \Chiltern and I are taking a run.t» Allington. to see if Lucy’s there.\ he told her. “I want you to stay, with Shirlev until we get back. I ve just talked with her. Have Alice pack a bag for you at once. You may tell Shirley whatever you please.” Valerie listened, her eyes enormous m her pale small face. \Yes. father.” He went directly to Doro thys sitting-room door and » knocked. She opened it almost . immediately. She had changed to a negligee of palest mauve. With her slightly disarranged - hail’, she was as near loveliness as she would nver be. She had : , been expecting him, and had : -dressed deliberately. But when -ishe saw his face she realized • -the futility of clothes. •.» He walked into the room and ■. shut the door behind him. •; \S—sit down— ■ she said, but : she would not meet his eyes. “We needn’t bother with the amenities.\ he said. “I’m going ■ -away to try to undo some of the '...•mischief you have done. I don’t know how long it will take, but X want you out of my house by the time I get back. I should 1 ■ suggest leaving tomorrow morn- Ing. Cafclet will attend to what-, evei is necessary for your jour- ?■ ney. •■■ • 'S he turned on him with a ■ show of outraged anger, which lost its effectiveness because she couldn’t seem to lift her eyes to his. <• 'I nevei— she began. ■ But he was already at the door. “There is nothing more to J>? l&id—now 01 a t my time,” he lepeated Please leave here at your earliest convenience.” She started to call after him ■that she would leave at once. She had never been so insulted 'in lie; 'lie B u t she hesitated jdsfc long enough id remember, the inconvenience of a hurried night departure Besides, if he was really going away,' s m j&tosld have tim e to question \ * A terrible fear gripped him. Valerie. She could always frighten the truth out of the little idiot. * She didn’t know that Valerie was, at that moment, bag in hand, telling Mark good-bye at the door of the big car, with Catlet standing* guard. ‘ Mark watched the tail-lights disappear. Valerie was safe, and out of Allington. Tiny faint streaks of wintry dawn lay low on the horizon. He freed a hand, and rubbed his eyes. He stopped his car about fifty yards behind the old van and shook Chiltern gently by the arm. \ The man sat straight, his sober bowler hat a trifle rakish- now he could think of Lucy. He | ly over one eye, and regarded went out of the frosty air into the warm comfort of his house. In spite of Lucy’s going, he was Mark remorsefully.' “I slept, sir,’ he apologized. “Oh—that’s all right,” whis- strangely elated. He had at last pered Mark excitedly, as if the let Dorothy know what he , dawn had ears. “Do you see what thought of her, without benefit of custom, manners, or conven tion! He ran up to his rooms, and threw an indiscriminate collec tion of clothes into a bag. When he had finished, he went out, deliberately locking first his own door, and then Valerie’s. Mrs. Banwood' had duplicate keys, and although he felt slightly ashamed, he put this down to pure habit. In his Ifeart he knew he had no reason to trust Dorothy. He dropped the keys in his pocket, and ran downstairs. Chiltern presently emerged from the coatroom with Mark’s heaviest coat, a hat, and fur- lined driving gloves. He held the coat for Mark, and shrugged himself into- his own. They stepped out into the clear cold of the night, and Chiltern closed the door behind them. “Shall I drive, sir?” he asked as* he opened the car door. •\Later perhaps,” Mark told him. I see? Ahead of us? Chiltern peered out, and sleep immediately vanished. “That’s it, sir.” h e cried. “There she is!” His excitement fully matched Mark’s. “Hold everything!” said Mark. He opened the door and- jump ed out.sprawling full length be side the car. Chiltern leaped after him as he got gingerly to his feet. “Are you hurt, sir! What happened?” asked the man anxiously. “.The old knees folded up. I guess I’m not an all-night driver. Get in and wait. I’ll be back.” Chiltern climbed back in the car, and Mark crept stealthily up on the Ark. The lines were unmistakable, even-with its new coat of blue. Was the poor little idiot camping in the back, as she had done so long ago? He would look in the front first. If she wasn’t there, he would open u,p the back. He swung himself to the step, open ed the door, and saw her. She ' was slumped over the wheel, the He swung through the gates1 soft fur of her coat framing her and out to the jnad, heading for I small cold face. I “Ladies first,” he said. “Not that I care. I know all about it, dear heart-r-I mean, why you left—why you have to come back—” Lucy shook lier head. “How?” she asked. “Chiltern.” “What a m an!” She smiled a wry little frozen smile. “I drove all night. I wanted to get to Allington as soon as I could. A little while ago, I got so sleepy I didn’t dare go on. So I pulled up here. I thought I ’d just shut my eyes a minute—” “My poor little imbecile—you might have frozen. Somebody might have come along—” “Somebody did,” said Lucy. The possibilities of her fate did not trouble her now. Mark tucked a small strand of gold under Lucy’s little h a t and kiss ed her. She lay against his shoulder looking up a t him.- She felt if he were never to say a word of love to her in all her life, she would know from his kiss. “I suppose they have minis ters at Allington?” he said pres ently. “Ministers?” “They marry people. I can furnish all the rest—the bride, the groom, and even the best man.” “But—Mark—” “I have Chiltern back there in the car. From now on, Chiltern is a national institution.” He heard himself talking rubbish, and didn’t care. He knew now that he had never really held a girl in his arms until now. Lucy laughed softly. Mark loved her. She knew it now. Of course there would never be an other like him. She crowded closer in his arms. \As soon as I've got you safely married,” said Mark, “I’ll send Chiltern home in the Ark. Val erie can stay on with Shirley for a bit. What is your choice in honeymoons ” \What honeymoons have you?” asked Lucy. She wondered if they had just discovered happi ness. \Practically all brands,” he as sured her. “I never knew being in love was like this.” “I. did,” said Lucy. He drew her onto his knees, and pulled the heavy blanket robe about them. She rested against him in fathomless con tent. The End the state highway. There was practically no traffic, and Mark gave the'loiig car its head. Chiltern watched the needle swing steadily up to 70, where it stayed, and they settled down to a steady rush through the night. “What do you figure the^Ark can do?” Mark asked. “I couldn’t say, sir. With the new engine, she might make forty, shouldn't you say?” “I never drove the old girl I had the engine put in because Miss Lucy had a sort of affec tion for the thing. I’m sorry I did, now.” “But a train would have made even better time,” suggested Chiltern. “I guess so I don’t suppose you» have any idea when she left?” “No, sir,” said Chiltern. \You see, Mr. Alexander, the old bus never entered my head. 1 thought Miss Tredway would be taking the train, and kept wait ing for her to call a taxi from the village. I kept watching near the front door, and ail that time Catlet says she was having him run the Ark out.” An hour later, when the flood light of a latettnoon showed only the empty expanse ;of a deserted highway, Mark spoke again. \Do you happen to remember the time Mrs. Summerville went to talk to Miss Lucy?” “It was about twelve.” “Then they didn’t have lunch together?”' ‘Certainly not, sir. Mrs. Sum merville had a tray sent to her room. By that time, Miss Tred way must bave gone.” “Could I do a bit of driving, sir?” .Chiltern offered presently. 'You must be wanting a nap.” “Not yet, thanks,” replied Mark. Sleep was the last thing for him. He would, he told him self, go nuts if he h ad to sit and: do nothing but think. . It tyas a few minutes' before six when he caught sight off a umbering shape drawn well off The most terrible fear he had ever known gripped him. He slipped into the seat beside her and lifted her in his arms. Her head fell back against him, and she opened her eyes. He was almost ill with relief. She lay in his°arms, and con tinued to look up at him. He could see sleep give away to a sort of daze, and at last to the reality of his presence. She started up. but he only gathered her more completely into his arms. “What—” they cried at once. Mark laughed. After all, what did it matter what they were asking each other?

Now along comes her new picture, “Aloma of the South Seas,” and what should Dotty be wearing but another sarong! « 9 * For almost a year Francia White, the petite prima donna, and James Melton, tenor, have been co-featured on a Monday evening NBC program. But with in the past several months they have been receiving a constant stream of letters in which the writers wondered .why they could not see their favorites in person. These letters were the inspiration for a joint concert tour announced for Miss White and Melton.. It will be a summer tour and most of the country will be covered. * * » Rudy Vallee, a talent discoverer of some merit, is being, awarded the laurels for t n r n i n g the spotlight o n Columbia Pic tures’ newest find, Joan Mer rill.

Several lucrative en gagements then, came Joan's way, topped by the Columbia contract. What gives this story added punch, however, is the fact that in her first picture, “Show Business,” Joan will have the lead role op posite her discoverer, Rudy Vallee. * * * Victor’s album of the njonth is a collection of country dances played by Bill Dickinson’s Tuxedo Colonels with calls by Paul Conk lin.

RUDY VMIEE Daring Rewarded Long After It is a long time since the echoes of the first World W.ar rolled away, but in the volumin ous records of the War Depart ment stories of gallantry and self-sacrifice are still being re vealed. In such cases some appro priate recognition is made, even though more than a score of years have passed, according to Sergeant Rot F. Moran Officer In dharge of the Marine Recruit ing Station Room 50 Federal Building, Rochester. New York. More than twenty-two years ago, U. S. Marines were holding tenaciously to the gains they had made in BBlleau- Wood. France. An intense enemy bom bardment of high-explosive and gas shells wounded or killed many members of the company. One badly wounded marine had his gas mask shot away, yet disregarding his own safety and knowing full well that the ef fect of the gas would be fatal to him. Gunnery Sergeant Fred W. Stockham insisted upon giving his gas mask to the wounded jnan. Then, with undaunted cour age and valor, Stockham con tinued to direct and assist- in the evacuation of the wounded in an area saturated with gas and swept with artille’ry fire, until he collapsed from the ef fects of the noxious fumes. His exposure to the gas caused his death a few days later. When a review of the War Department records several months ago revealed the hero ism of Stockham, he was pos thumously awarded the Con gressional Medal of Honor by direction of President Roose velt. Rarely have the records brought to . light a story more replete with nobility of charac ter, human interest and self sacrifice.

The latest Hardy Family pic ture proves a . milestone in the life of Andrew Hardy. I t’s plot, in brief, finds the young man deep in the duties as chairman of numerous senior committees, and being a Good Samaritan on the side to a couple of young sters less fortunate than he. How he inadvertently causes a near tragedy in tbe.ir family, and how, In spite of failing an English exam, he manages to be among those present . when diplomas are handed out, makes for onq of the most human screen documents of the year. The popular -east-has—again been assembled, ■ with Lewis Stone as Judge and Mickey Rooney as Andy. Fay Holden is seen as Ma Hardy, Sara Haden as Aunt Milly and Ann Ruther ford as Polly ' Benedict. Two additional screen favorites, Ian Hunter and Gene Reynolds, make their appearance with the family in the new production. The picture also marks the screen debut of a p.air of prom ising new-comers, Kathryn Grayson, seventeen-year - old coloratura soprano, and Todd Karns, son of the popular screen comedian, Roscoe Karns. I)a addition to appearing in the important dramatic role of Andy’s secretary, Miss Grayson sings three songs, two classical and one popular selection. Young Karns, who proves him self one of the most promising juvenile finds of the year, por trays the role of Miss Grayson’s brother. The newest of the Hardy Family series was directed by George <B. Seitz, who has piloted the family through most of their screen adventures.
