WI ~ IO ONIS\S
Inside the restaurant, there
was neither peace nor quiet.
The woman was talking. At
times she raised her voice to
shout. But if she had merely
whispered, the man would have
gathered the idea of the mono
logue. She had been over the
same ground time and time
again.

shrieked. stuck out here in

Her husband sighed.
"I got all my money tied up
in this place." he pointed out.
Il can't pull out now. Just a
little while longer, maybe we
can sell it and go back to the
city. You just be patient,
Susie"
Susie snorted in extremely
unladylike fashion.
yah, you been saying that
for two years now. And I'm
still here. You're too dumb to
do anything about it, Frank
Page. Do you hear me?"
It would have been nothing
short of a miracle if he hadn't
heard. But he said nothing.
He seldom said anything. He
had long since realized the
futility of it..
Susie was beginning to de-
Spair of ever getting away when
a certain gentleman named
Charlie Bates began to make
frequent stops at the restaurant.
She was attracted to the man
from the moment she first
heard him gargle his coffee. He
was well-dreSsed. Poised. A
smart conversationalist. Every
thing, in short, that Frank was
not. He always paid his check
in large bills. And he listened
with flattering interest to every
thing that Susie said.
Sometimes, when she was in
the kitchen, he tatied to
Frank. But Susie knew that it
was on her account that he
came. He liked her. She was
entirely certain on that score.
And she was never so happy
as when Charlie was around.
Here was the type of man she
admired most; a smart man,
one who didn't have to de-
pend on dishing out hot dogs
to earn his living. Here was
a man with an apartment in
the city-and after months of
dreary nights in the country,
Susie yearned for bright lights,
and she wasn't thinking of
headlights.
The little affair progressed
with fair speed. Charlie seized
every opportunity to talk to
Susie alone, to squeeze her
hand and murmur endearingly
into her ear. Finally, Of
