the receiver. “He hung up! Why the— Just wait till I see him, the hound!” she fumed at the phone.

Angrily, she turned and walked into the library. “Dad”—her eyes shone with anticipiation—“I hope I like him; and that he likes me! Oh, Dad, isn’t it thrilling? How do I look?” She swayed exotically around the room, the very picture of a. haughty queen. Her red-gold hair formed an ethereal halo about her delicate features, and the long, green gown swept gracefully downward.

“You look very beautiful, j my dear. Just as always," j he told her, smiling indulgently. “But don’t think for a moment that Phil can be had only with good looks. He’d want something practical as well as ornamental.”

Just then an automobile horn sounded loudly from in front of the house. Sue moved to a large window. She saw the car in front and turned to her father. “Frank Carter’s outside. I had a date with him for tonight, but I broke it,” she explained, feeling annoyance.

“Humph!” grunted her father. “I don't know what you see in that young whippersnapper. I don’t like him; never have. He’s just a wastrel.”

Sue moved to the door. “I’m going to see what he wants.” Her eyes darkened angrily. “I have a thing or two to tell him, too.” ;

Frank was angry himself. He glared at her from behind the wheel of the rattletrap of a car which—although Sue was. completely mystified—always seemed to ran without any trouble.

“What’s the big idea?” he growled. “Why did you break our date? Just forgot all about it, didnT you?” he sneered.

Sue’s lips quivered, but not because she was frightened. Her eyes flashed. “Listen to me, Frank Carter!” she blazed at him. “You can’t talk to me like that! Just who do you think you are?”

Carter jumped to the curb. “Oh, I can’t, can’t I?” His voice shook with intense feeling. “You’re my girl.

aren’t you? You made a date with me, didn’t you? When I make a date with a girl, I expect her to keep it! And you’re going to. Come on”—he grasped her wrist —“get in the car!”

Sue’s face became white with rage. “Take your hands off me,” she commanded, her voice flat. “And the sooner you climb into that heap of junk and .get out of my sight, the better!”

“Hello! What’s going on here?” The firm-voiced question came from behind Sue.

She felt the grip on her wrist relax. She whirled.

“Phil—uh, Mr. Mason!” she heard herself gasp.

“Who the heck are you?” muttered Carter. His grip tightened as he eyed Phil threateningly.

“Take your hand from Miss Donahue’s wrist,” commanded Phil, and he stepped forward menacingly.

Carter did remove his hand, but only to make a sad mistake. He swung a right at Phil’s jaw. Mason stepped back as Sue uttered a frightened cry; then, a left and a vicious right stretched the erstwhile belligerent Frank Carter supine on the sidewalk.

Phil was rubbing his right fist as he turned to Sue. “I’m sorry you had to see this happen,” he smiled ruefully.

“I thought he had hit you,” she breathed anxiously..

Phil laughed, a low, deep throated chuckle which Sue loved at once. “He didn’t even Come close.” Then he said soberly: “But come”— and he offered his arm— “shall we go into the house?”

At the front door, Phil regarded her gravely. “Is it true—what that chap said as I came up?” As Sue seemed puzzled, he went on: “I mean—well, he said you were his—”

“He had that idea,” she interrupted with feeling, “but it was all wrong.” Her hand tightened on his aim as they entered the front door in silence. She took his hat, and ushered him into the library. Sue’s father greeted him with enthusiasm.

“That’s some wallop you have there, my boy.” He winked broadly at Phil. “I saw it from the window.”. He addressed Sue: “Now that you’two have met—without introduction—let’s go to dinner.” He chuckled as he led the way.

During dinner, Phil protested when Sue addressed him as “Mr. Mason.” “Just call me Phil,” hé explained. “You did outside, you know,

and ... besides, your father calls me Phil,” he ended lamely.

“All right, Mr.—uh—Phil,” she smiled graciously. “Every body calls me Sue.” She caught sight of her father trying to stifle a beaming smile. “Whpt’s so funny, Daddy?”

His face became sobriety itself as she turned towards him.

“Nothing,” he growled; “nothing at all.”

They had coffee in the library. From the conversation which followed, Sue gleaned a few facts about Phil’s background. Previously, she hadn’t been very successful in squeezing them out of her father.

After his cigar, however, her father excused himself on the plea that he had some business matters which required his immediate attention. “I’ll see you in the morning, Phil. Good-night, my dear,” he said to Sue.

“Lets’ go for a drive, Phil,” suggested Sue, when they were alone.

Phil agreed, and soon they were seated in her blue roadster with Phil at the wheel. It was a balmy evening, and Sue was grateful for the rush of wind as they motored towards the outskirts of the town.

They stopped on a hill overlooking the town, its lights shimmering iii the distance. “Its beautiful,” sighed Sue, “and so relaxing.” In the east, a deepyellow moon was slowly float- j ing in a star-lit sea. A feathery cloud threw its shadow across the bright disk. “Look, Phil,” she pointed to her right. “The—”

“Sue,” he told her, “you’re j lovely—so lovely. I’ve never known a girl like you before.” She looked up at him; thrilled to the light of worship in his eyes. He went on: “I spoke to you for the first time yesterday. But even ^ though you never noticed me in your father’s office, j I’ve known and * loved you from the very first day I saw you. Oh, darling, words are so clumsy at a time like this.” He swept her into his arms with a low cry.

Just before he kissed her tenderly, Sue murmured: “I love you too, Phil.”

After an indeterminate length of time, they drove homeward. At the door, Sue, wrapped in Phil’s arms, laughed gaily. “Phil, I have a confession to make. When I saw you in the office, I made Daddy promise to bring you to dinner. I liked you as soon as I saw you,”' she said shyly.

Phil chuckled, then said:

“That’s what your father told me at the office. That

LET TRUTH BE UNCONFINED

(Continued from Page 4)

Tony Kovács bragged that his ('•reman and 20 other lads in the chocolate refining department (where they work at Bunte Brothers) will tour to Milwaukee on a two-week vacation. A string of 5 autos will hug the highway north of Chicago for 100 miles, for the boys are going up north. Just why Tony wants to make sure that the foreman will go Is not certain. We suppose that they like beer... or someone is going for a little ride...

Lillian Seigh insisted that she had to leave the party early. She claimed that she must go to work early the next morning. Mrs. Frank Balogh took her husband to task when he danced with all the young ladies and forgot for the time being that the Mrs. was there.

Sue buried her face against his shoulder. “I'm ashamed of myself. Didn’t you think me the brazen thing?”

“No, I didn’t. It gave me you. You darling!” His head lowered.

"Daddy darling, you mean,” she gasped, as Phil kissed her.
