Il Short Story Complete in This Issue
4 4
AL this happened when I'd been working
~ for the Crampton- -Claybone people
q u about year. They do most of their
business by mail, and my job was to sit in a big
bull pen in the basement and check orders.
The people out in the provinces would write in
for this or that, and when the slips came to me,
I'd put a red pencil mark on them if they were
over five dollars, and blue pencil mark if
they we're under five.
Don't ask me why. For thirty bucks a week.
l just did what was told. As far as was con-
cerned, they could have said to cut the orders
up into paper dolls. In way it was a nice rest
full job. After while you got so you didn't even
think about it. As long as the crayons held out,
you could just sit there and let the old brain
wander.
There was another clerk, Ernie Bofin, who
l used to talk to once in while. and this day
we were out in the fire tower, sneaking smoke.
and he started needing me about girl named
Arlene johnson.
Il don't get you," said, playing dumb
''You mean the little blonde at the sorting
desk?"
Il don't mean anybody else - the one you're
feeding three nights week at the Flowery
Kingdom Restaurant"
He had me stopped. As matter of fact
Arlene and were sort of engaged, but nobody
vas supposed to know it. We used to meet on
4 street corner. and she told her girl friend
who roomed with her "a headache named
Lorelei Fifer - that she was taking secretar-
ial course. Well, she was, because Arlene was
smart and ambitious, but she didn't have to get
to the school as early or as often as she told
Lorelei. That way we could grab bite to eat
and maybe knock off couple of rhumbas in
this Chinese trap.
"Where'd you get your dope?" asked him.
Il saw you in there couple of times, and I
took Lorelei out to the movies one night, and
Evening star., 1940-04-28

between us we sort of figured things out"
80 what? Just to save you and Lorelei
trouble, can tell you everything's practically
all set, and even gave Arlene ring. but she
don't wear it yet
He took last drag and threw the butt away.
Congratulations, he said. in case it ever
comes of"
What do you mean by that crack?"
Il mean Lorelei is out to break it up if she
can. She don't think much of you"
That's okeechobee with me. got no use
for her either"
Keep your shirt on, Comrade,' he told me.
I'm only trying to help you. If you want the
inside stuff, say so.'
"All right" said What is it?''
"Wel, for one thing, this Lorelei babe thinks
you're penny squeezer. don't say you are,
mind, but maybe she could make out case.
at that. Anyway. she can put the idea in
Arlene's head"
This was very brainy remark from mug
like Ernie. who's closer than photo finish.
got sore. Tell me how" l said. What's she
got to 60 on?"
Listen, Joe" he told me. Il got nothing but
sympathy for the Chinese. but you got to
admit you haven't been dragging Arlene to
the Rainbow Room"
There was nothing wrong with the Flowery
Kingdom. 1t was clean, and they gave you a
nice mess of pottage for thirty five cents Be-
sides, they had dance floor, with hot music
even if it was canned. Further and more, it had
kind of dim lights, 50 you could feel more
alone in the little booths "You must be crazy"
l said to Ernie Il make thirty week, the
same as you do. and I'm still paying Lieber-
mans for the ring. guess you take Lorelei to
the Colony You told me yourself you got
by with hamburger and an orange drink the
last time you took her out and what's
more
Don't be Fascist Calm down."
This Fascist business is just the way Ernie
talks He calls anybody Fascist that's beat
ing him in an argument.
I'm as calm as anybody" said.
"All right, then, listen to me, he said. "As
far as Lorelei goes it don't make any difference
what impression make on her. We're not 60
ing to get married. But you are. l wasn't
knocking the Flowery Kingdom, but you know
girl likes change
''She also knows have to watch my dough-"
Correct" he said; land Arlene's real
sport, and will go the limit to help you, even
if she has to eat all the chow men in China.
Nevertheless and notwithstanding. you can
boost your batting average fifty per cent by
running wild some time and spending buck
that you don't have to. Provided it's spent on
Arlene, it sort of shows she's driving you out
of your wits with her mad beauty. Makes her
feel good"
"knockwurst," said. and we went inside.
Still, sitting at my desk, making red and
blue marks, got to thinking it over. because
while Arlenes girl friend was total loss in
my book, for some reason Arlene thought she
was tops, and if Lorelei was denouncing me as
cheapie, why, maybe ought to do something
about it, even if it was bum rap. So for two
weeks Clipped away at the old budget. and
quit going to the Dutchman's for beer. Finally
l had nine bucks in the back fold of my wallet.
Then went out to the Fair one night, when

Arlene was at this secretarial school, and
made reservations for US at one of those
swell foreign restaurants. 1t cost me two

in it,

thought we'd go out to the Fair"
She said that was fine. because they just told
her she'd finished up her secretarial course,
and this would be sort of celebration. So
when we got there, Arlene took my arm and
turned toward the amusement section, but
said no, let's eat first, and took her to this
expensive dive where Id made the reserva-.

said
whats the reason we can't?"
"Oh, Joe. don't be foolish. They say it's
awfully expensive"
What of it," said, being the big spender
This is celebration, isn't it,"
Il know. but Id rather not, Joe. I'm not
really dressed for it"
Listen" told her. you look million
times better than any of those glamor girls.
That's sweet of you, Joe." she said. But
Id rather not.
Come on said but noticed her face

talking.

away.
We ate couple of sandwiches and had some
coffee at lunch counter. I'll admit l was
moody. You don't have to be miser to regret
giving two bucks to headwaiter for a reserva
ton you can't use. Arlene took notice l was
looking sour, and tried to kid me out of it,
but stayed sore.
. Then just when was getting over my grief
she got mad So tried to kid her out of it,
but by that time the evening was hexed. So
we signed off and took her home.
The next morning told Ernie Boffm what
l thought of him: "As Dorothy Dix in re-
verse you could charge big money"
Please don't yell at me" he moaned, hold
ing his head in his hands. Il got terrible hang

said. Then told him what happened. 'You

the dump"
Didn't you tell her about it beforehand"
NO wanted to surprise her."
