Joel came in just then. He
glanced at his cousin.

he asked. "Or was it to be an
epic?"
ut doesn't CO." said Bill. Not
at ALL"
why don't you forget 1t for

you are trying too hard"
Bill leaned back against his
chair.
Writings just plain hell" he
said. Il think I'll drop the whole
business"
"Why not ?" said Joel. Come on
into the Randall Mills with me.
There's room in Uncle Johns Office
for both of US. I could use a man
with ideas"
Then I'm not the man for you"
said Bill YEARLY. I'm as empty Of
ideas as last years birds nest"
Think it over, anyway" said
Joel. He picked up a roll Of blue
prints and thrust them into his side
coat pocket.
Bill lit a cigaret and said: "1've
been hoping Eve would come UP
and take me to see the school,"
Have you?" said Joel.

adults" Bill went on, fought to get
me into the spirit of writing about
the mountains"
well, she'll probably not get
here now until next week" Joel
said. II hardly think she teaches on
Saturdays. I'm going to take
tramp up through the hills. Want
to come slong?"
mo, thanks. I'm going to make
one more try at getting this gol-
darn yarn started" Bill glanced at
some notes he had made. IF l

Joel did not speak for a moment.
He had the feeling that the shadow
of Eve Allgood was there between
him and the man at the typewriter.
Presently he walked to the door.
"I'll be back in time for supper"
he said. Il still'think those cottages

more simply. Figuring while sit

Bill looked up.
1T would seem, he said, that we
both have problems"

back: Good luckl"
"Ill need It." said Bill.
He went back to his writing.

With this he drove his car

had rugged up a makeshift garage.

Eve Allgood; her quick, eager
movements; her sweetness; her in

slender, tanned by the sun, and
yet so completely feminine.
During the next few days Joel
and Bill did lot of thinking. They
had very little to say to each other.
Not that there was any hard feel
ings between them, or that they
were in the least unfriendly. 1t
was nothing like that at all. 1t
was only that each appeared to be
so lost in a personal forest of tam
gled thoughts, and just didn't care
to put any of those thoughts into
words.

Mrs. Weiss Takes
3rd Tile In Row

ODETROIT, July 19-(R-
Mrs. Donald Weiss, slender
Queen of the Michigan Fair
ways, now has three successive
state championships by virtue
of her 2 and / victory yesterday
over Margaret Russell, Detroit
newspaper woman, at the De-
troit Golf Club.
Mrs. Weiss, diminutive Flint
stylist, made finesse pay divi-
dends over power when she
negotiated six one-putt green's
in her triumph over the long
hitting Detroit girl, who often
outdistanced her from the tee
by 100 yards.
They made the turn all square
while carding ass, four over
par, but Miss Russell took a
one-hole lead on the eleventh
green. She might have increas-
ed the margin to two up and
four holes to play except for q
missed two-foot putt on the
fourteenth.
That provided Mrs. Weiss
with the break she needed. She
quickly squared the match on
No. Is and then took the fol-
lowing two holes with pars as
Miss Russell finished 7-6. For
the II holes Mrs. Weiss was
seven over par.
