Prescrio. City. No. 10-1931 Perhaps, he told himself, that was due to the undeniable "air" of her more than to superiority of sheer physical beauty. Nellie, too, had an air, but it was natural, wnue Miss Doris Gatewood ap peared to have acquired hers. She was dressed In a manner which Elmer El-mer could not have described ; like an of his sex all he knew about women's clothes was that they looked stunning or Indifferent. Miss Gatewood's wardrobe then and there In evidence was neither stunning nor Indifferent, and Elmer found In his rag bag of a mind a phrase that appeared to describe her and her clothes. She was well groomed. Her chic little tan hat it was a Paris model gave her a saucy air and fitted her face. Her hair was bobbed and as black and glistening glis-tening as. a raven's wing. Her skin was the kind one loves to touch, but whether her glorious coloring col-oring was natural or artificial was beyond Elmer's ability to decide. She wore a smart tailored suit of brownish tweed and somewhat mannish cut, brown silk stockings and cunning little brown brogues with tasseled tongues. Her shirt waist, with a tailored collar, was Immaculately white and very plain. She wore Colorado Charley's handsome hand-some brown silk tie ; her gloves were brown and her eyes were brown, radiant, challenging, alight with Interest She's a darb." thought Elmer Butterworth Clarke. "Brains to spare. Must have, to be a special correspondent of the American Weekly. I've heard writers like I her make a hundred or two a week, sometimes more. That's why she can afford such nice clothes. But she isn't overdressed, either. What Aellie would call eood taste ia th keynote of her get-up." Miss Doris Gatewood on her part was, without appearing to do so. making a swift oDnraisal of Elmer Clarke. "Isn't he nice lookingr she asked herself. "And he has nice manners, too, for a hick. He must have bad a nice mother. He's small town, but not a Reuben, and 's shy and sensitive. Hello, be wears a silver service button In his lapel. He's been to the war smiled across at him apologetically. Of course, Mr. Clarke, I know I'm boring you to the point of warm tears," she began. "But really, you look so kind I can't feel as contrite con-trite about It as I ought. Besides, I make my living by boring people making them talk when they do not want to and putting words Into their mouths when they refuse to talk." "What do you want, to know?" he challenged. "Oh, all about the fortune that's been left you by the uncle you've never seen! I'm ordered to Interview Inter-view you and get a snappy story on how it feels to be a poor man today to-day and a millionaire tomorrow. I'd like to have some expression from you as to your ideas on the obligations obli-gations of wealth. Does money make for happiness, or vice versa? What do you expect to do with your money and when? Are you going go-ing to marry the one girl who has been waiting for you or is there one girl?" "That's out," he reminded her. "It's nobody's business whether there's one girl or two dozen and If there were I should not discuss them." "Tipped a foul that time," Miss Gatewood went on, flushing prettily. "Still, one never can tell whether the patient will talk on that subject sub-ject or not, so usually we ask to find out. Pardon, I'll try to stick to my knitting hereafter. Now, then Mr. Clarke, what is your man Friday cooking for dinner?" "It smells like corned beef and cabbage to me. This Is Thursday, isn't it?" Miss Gatewood nodded brightly. bright-ly. "And potatoes boiled with their jackets on?" she queried with eager curiosity. He nodded. "Then you're as plebian as I am," she challenged. "I adore plain food and I'm famished." To himself Elmer said: "I suppose sup-pose I'd be a dog if I don't invite her to eat some of It Confound It, I think she expects to be Invited, or wants to be. That's Just like these bohemian newspaperwomen. He turned to his visitor. "I should like very much to invite you to dinner, din-ner, Miss Gatewood. but" "fd adore to come," she Interrupted Inter-rupted before he could cloak his Invitation In-vitation with more buts. "Dur ing dinner we can have a nice, long, comfortable Interview." "Well. Miss Gatewood, if yon can manage without a chaperon, I can." "I'm sure you're not at all a dan gerous person, air. ciarhe. I am sure you are! Elmer came back at her, just like that She blushed at the compliment and proved herself equally fast by retortine: "I see you are not a stranger to risks, Mr. Clarke. I had two brothers in the service. One was killed at Soissons and the other was gassed. He hasnt been very well since. He lives wnn me In Los Angeles." "Indeed!. Well. I had my taste nf nhnsffpn eas. too. My lungs are still a little ticklish, but I'm slowly outgrowing the effect Pardon me, please, while I tell Jasper to set a place for you and add a few fancy touches In your honor." That was a very delightful If unconventional un-conventional dinner. Miss Gate-wood Gate-wood was charming. It was her business to be charming and she knew her business. Her charm received re-ceived a considerable impetus, however, how-ever, from the charm which she extracted from Elmer. Inder the ameliorating influence of ier delightful de-lightful personality. Elmer waa to perfect form. He was Interviewed without being aware of it, nor did Doris Gatewood have to Interview mm. everything she wanted to know caine out naturally lu their conversation. In fact, the lady almost al-most forgot she was playing a part. She was returning to Los Angeles on me tram which came through Pilarcitos at ten-thirty that night. After dinner she suggested that, unless un-less Elmer had something better to do, they might kill time by going to a movie. Since Nellie was din-ing din-ing out that night and Elmer had nothing better to do than escort his new-found acquaintance to the movie, he declared he could think of nothing more delightful. So they went to see a thriller, and once during an exciting moment of the photoplay Miss Gatewood seized Elmer's hand impulsively and clunz to it, apparently quite oblivious of what she was doing. After dinner Elmer walked with her to the train and got her little traveling case out of the checking station In the depot. Before she boarded the train she had exacted a promise from him to call unon her and her brother at their Los Angeles home and have dinner with them. Elmer said he expected expect-ed to be in Los Angeles in a few days to buy an automobile, and would take that opportunity to re new an acquaintance so happily begun. Upon arrival in Los Angeles, Mae, alias Doris Gatewood, reported report-ed to Colorado Charley that the fish was on the line; that nothing now remained to do save get out the net and land him. CHAPTER VIII WHEN Elmer da.rke returned to his humble home after seeing see-ing Doris Gatewood off at the railroad rail-road station, he was sensible of having passed one of the most delightful de-lightful evenings in years. Of course he had spent many delightful delight-ful hours In Nellie Catheart's company com-pany Nellie was always delightful delight-ful ; but about this other girl there had been a charm so utterly different differ-ent from Nellie's that Elmer, after the fashion of his sex, yielded to the delight of it without bothering to analyze It She dazzled him. She had, In effect, dared him to like her and he had. He wished he might see her again. . Elmer lunched with Nellie the following day and discussed with her his coming campaign for election elec-tion to the board of trustees of the Union high school a subject in which Nellie displayed the most avid Interest. For a reason so vague he did not pause to define it he refrained from telling Nellie of the visit of the young lady reporter report-er the evening previous. Nellie wondered why he did not. She had seen him walking down to the station sta-tion with this stranger and bad marked her thoroughly, from the toes of her smart boots to the tip of her saucy hat. In particular, Nellie had been struck by a note of spurious merriment in her gurgling laugh as the pair passed, too interested in themselves to see her. That laugh had been Just a trifle too loud. , ' On Tuesday Elmer received a long letter from Absolom McPeake, conveying very definite Information Informa-tion regarding the estate It consisted con-sisted largely of very valuable business real estate in the city of Muscatine, a plethora of frame shanties in the. poorer section of the city, from which Uncle Hiram had drawn rentals entirely disproportionate dispro-portionate to the value of the property, stocks, bonds, farm mortgages and a little private banking business a usurer's shop, in reality. Mr. McPeake felt confident that the little banking business could readily be disposed of to form a branch bank of a large local Institution. In-stitution. Of course, in view of Uncle Hiram's death, this bank, so dependent upon his presence, would not now be sold at much of a prof-It prof-It bnt it could be disposed of without with-out loss, and McPeake advised this course. After reading that letter, Elmer felt more than ever Inclined to follow fol-low the dictates of his humble ambition am-bition and purchase a fine car. He carried the letter over to the Pilarcitos Pilar-citos Commercial Trust & Savings Sav-ings bank and showed it to the charming trust officer of that institution. insti-tution. NeUie was much Interested Interest-ed and proffered some advice when Elmer declared he was going down to Los Angeles the following day to place an order for the new car. He promised Nellie the first ride in It Before he could drive away from the agency with bis new possession posses-sion the next day, a smart uniformed uni-formed chauffeur appeared and reminded re-minded him that a gentleman able to afford a first-class car could not possibly descend to driving it him-sell him-sell Elmer was struck by the force of this arcument and en gaged the man at a salary of fifty Charley's dainty bungalow and discovered dis-covered the girl and her alleged brother waiting for bim on the lawn. The famed prodigal, returning from his unwholesome adventure with the husks and the swine, could not have been received with more enthusiasm. The luncheon was exquisite ex-quisite and served by Doris Gate-wood Gate-wood herself. She flushed prettily when Colorado Charley reminded Elmer that she had cooked It herself. her-self. Charley ate little, however, and appeared languid and disinterested, disinter-ested, as became a semi-Invalid. Having been Informed that he was a veteran of the World war, Elmer at once had for Colorado Charley a distinct feeling of fraternity, and the conversation ,wns almost entirely en-tirely of soldiering. In preparation for this, the bunco man had "boned up" on the A. E. F. from an invalid in-valid ex-soldier at Arrowhead hospital hos-pital and another at the Veterans home at Sawtelle. When It seemed that he might be getting Into deen water, Doris saved him by sug gesting that It was time for him to take his after-luncheon nnp. "Poor Brother gets so excited and nervous when he talks of those terrible scenes," she explained to Elmer. "It wears him out even to think about them." Elmer suggested that Doris and he go for a ride. Doris re plied that she would adore It so they went, In calm defiance of Elmer's El-mer's voluntary promise to Nellie Cathcart that she should be the very first person to ride in his new car. In justice to Elmer it must be added, however, that he had completely com-pletely forgotten that promise. Having been lightly made, it had been as lightly forgotten. While in France Elmer, Jn common com-mon with thousands of other young Americans, had visited Paris after the Armistice and had there listened, lis-tened, to the old saw that if one should sit long enough on the sidewalk side-walk in front of the Cafe de la Palx, everybody he had ever known would eventually pass by. Elmer had sat there half a day and been accosted by nobedy more Important than a military policeman, who had made him exhibit, in writing, his right to sit there. It occurred to Elmer upon his return to Pilarcitos three days later that this Is Indeed a very small world. An exile from Pilarcitos had seen him driving along Santa Monica boulevard with Doris Gate-wood, Gate-wood, and a former Pilarcitos belle, who had emigrated to Los Angeles and was eking out a precarious existence as an extra in the movies, wrote home to Alice Goodfellow that she had seen Elmer Clarke foxtrotting fox-trotting in a Hollywood cafe with a girl who had everything on her except the kitchen stove, This gossip so Interested Alice that she felt it her Christian duty to mention it to Nellie Cathcart, who said nothing, "but wondered a little. Elmer arrived home In a singularly singu-larly happy frame of mind. He had had a perfectly delightful time Jn Los Angeles. At parting Doris had, in her brother's presence and with that candor and charm which so fascinated Elmer, Insisted upon kissing him good-by. Then she had walked out to the car with him and shaken his hand in farewell. She said she wouldn't sleep a wink until she knew he had arrived home safely and wouldn't he telegraph tele-graph her the Instant that happy end had been accomplished? Elmer El-mer would. He promised her solemnly sol-emnly to that effect and he kept his promise. He should have known better. Old Lady Bray handled that telegram, made a note of the lady's name and address and promptly circulated a report that Nellie Cathcart had better bet-ter look out that a girl in Los Angeles An-geles was after Elmer Clarke and was In a fair way of landing him. The theft of the queen bee from a hive could not possibly have upset up-set a community of bees one-balf so much as the three reports on Elmer's Los Angeles activities upset up-set Pilarcitos. The town buzzed with gossip and idle speculation. If it had been pro-Elmer and anti-Elmer prior to that fatal trip to Los Angeles, it was now pro-Nellie to the last man and woman. Elmer El-mer had been regarded, the moment news of his inheritance had become known, as first prize, won by Mis Nellie Cathcart Now, to have a stranger beat Nellie out by a whisker whis-ker In the last jump, as it were to employ racing parlance set the town agog with excitement Elmer arrived In Pilarcitos too late In the afternoon to take Nellie to luncheon, and as he was due that night to conduct an initiation of a class of thirty neophytes into the local lodge of the Woodmen of the World, he had no opportunity of seeing see-ing ber nntil noon of the following day.
