Leave Ny Heart Alone

with the servant out Of hearing,
that Jan has ears and eyes in the
back of his head. Hes too old for
any labor, but he has faithful
heart, which is what counts.
Karen agreed that it was. But
she was glad that Jan no longer
served the other meals. He was so
slow and unsteady that the many
courses dragged Unfortunately. She
thought 1t was her fathers faithful
heart, rather, to keep anyone on
when his uselessness was passed.
She found the old mans shopping,
as she labeled it privately some
what trying at times. But OF
course Jan considered the family,
and all that was connected with
them, his charge.
She would almost have been will
ing to bet that Jan knew already
that she had become formally en-
gagged to Paul last night. No doubt
the old servant had eavesdropped
during Pauls conversation with her
dad regarding making the an
nouncement at the Moonlight Fes-
tival. Maybe Jan even had watched
her with the binoculars she knew
he kept on a pantry shelf, talking
with strange young man on the
beach this morning.
Sixth sense, indeed shopping,
that was what IL was. But there
was no use in Karen's letting that
bother her. She knew that nothing
she ever could say would convince
her father that Jan ought to be re-
tired from all service in the big
house.
But II was because OF the old
servant, lowering behind the
swinging door. that Karen post
poned what she wanted to say to
her father until after breakfast.
She told him she would like few
minutes with him in his study be-
fore he got busy with his secretary
behind its locked doors. Jim Bell
had retired, but he still maintained
morning business hours at home in
order to preserve a certain mo
rale," as he termed it. His large
holdings and varied interests took
this much time. too.
"Of course Fll grant you an in
terview." Jim said now to his
daughter, catching her arm in the
crook OF his elbow as they left the
enormous, and somewhat gloomy,
dining room. Besides. 1t so hap
pens that have something OF ma
jor Importance that wish to pre-
sent to you. First, though, well
have whatever il is that's weighing
on your mind, my chickadee."
He smiled tolerantly at this, as
though he knew it could not be OF
major importance, as he had
said Of his news. He had meant to
keep it awhile, but now had decided
to share 1t Immediately with
Karen.
He thought he knew what Ks-
rens news was Paul had talked
with him. 4 fne young man. that
lad. None better. Already like a
son. But Karen would never guess
what her father would have to tell
her in exchange. Something that
glsddened his heart. as well az sad
dened IL. A message contained In a
cable he had received late last
night.

CHAPTER FIVE

AFTERWARDS - for days, ir
fact 49, Karen was to remember
what Martin Halliday had said in
parting when they had met, fol-
the second time, on her beach. He
had told her that he knew who she
was, who her father was where she
lived, "all there is. to know about
you" 1t was amusing and at the
same time annoying.
1t was conceivable that anyone
no matter who he was or where he
came from, might know who jim
Bell was, since her dad was not
only so well known in the south
but was practically national fig.
ure. The big house, with its tower
was not just a landmark, but al.
most a tradition. AS for Karen, her
name and photograph frequently
appeared in society columns, smart
magazines, and the rotogravures
But no other person could possibly
know all there was to know about
another. A person did not know
that much about himself!
Certainly Martin Halliday was ar
odd specimen. Karen knew that
much about him. Maybe it was be.
cause he was so different from the
young men she had known, young
men who had been born to all the
advantages. to assume established
r.acns ~ tho A,,.ipcs. apJ .oag.,

fortunes. Martin Halliday, she as.
sumed. was of the people" Not
that that was anything against
him, but il made him different. in
her eyes, at least, although that
was not all that ;.roused her curl
osity.
There was some sort of r1ystery
about him, she felt sure. He could
not have come down here to live
in q trailer just to look at the
ocean. Size did not believe he had
como FOR his health, either Rather
she %a5 inclined to credit her sup
position that he had something in
his past he wanted to forget or es-
cape. IT might be nothing more
than a love affair that had turned
oct badly. sut he did not look or
act like q young man with broken
heart.
Oh, well, it did not really matter.
nor in any way concern Karen Bell.
Their paths had crossed, might
cross a time or two again, but 9TH
er"ise she and a man who lived in
a trailer could have nothing what
1 ever in common. II was lust that
he managed to annoy and amuse
her, and therefore pique not only a
natural curiosity, but a lively in
terest. But IL she never saw him
again IL would not matter. either.
Her father was pleased when she

formal. Karen usually had hers on
tray by her bed; Cousin Ellen,
who made her home with them and
was housekeeper, had hers-sev-
eral cups Of strong coffee-as she
planned menus and outlined duties
in the servants wing; house guests
drifted down at all hours as they
chose.
you look as perky as a daisy"
her father beamed over the edge Of
his morning paper. Though why
that phrase was created Is beyond
me. I've seen many a field o, daisies
that looked anything but fresh. But
the point is, you look mighty good
to me and no one would ever guess
you'd been dancing all night, as
rassume you were, since you young
folk nowadays start out at about
the time we oldsters were put to
bed"
Karen thanked him for the COM
pliment, STOPPING to brush his
cheek lightly with a kiss as she
slid into a chair. II struck her that
he was inordinately pleased that
she had come down. She said, You
still worry about me when I'm out
late, don't you. darling. even when
I'm with Paul? I've been up for
ages, even had dip. And since it
has made me feel much perkier
than any daisy possibly could I'm
gong TO do it every morning from
now on. III keep you from reading
your paper and poster you with
questions and refill your cup, II
you'll pass it to me, jim"
She sometimes called him that
because she knew 1t tickled him
even when he claimed he thought
it disrespectful. In many ways her
dad remained exceedingly old
fashioned, such as in fussing be-
cause she stayed out until the wee
small hours. She knew he never
went to sleep until he knew she
was safely in. He reminded her Of
mother hen, when she was the
one who ought to be mothering
him.
That's quite resolution" His
eyes twinkled behind their thick
reading spectacles, which he
moved now, folding his paper at
the same time. The news will keep
IL / have my daughter to rest my
eyes. But Jan will never allow you
the privilege Of pouring my coffee,
my dear. That sixth sense OF his
tells him the second I'm ready for
a refill"
Even as he spoke. the heavy
swinging door opened to admit the
old servant on his silent feet. For
Jan was an established part Of the
household, too. He had been with
them as long as Karen could re-
member, and apparently meant to
stay on as long as he lived.
Just half CUP now, JAM" Jim
admonished, with a sly wink at
Karen over the old mans bent
head. II was standing Joke that,
although this vas the order given,
the big cup OF ancient moustache
design, that held double the portion
Of any other, should be completely
refilled, just as II was Jims Gus

every time.

Legislators Forecast
Passage Of Measure
To Block Father Draft
By the Associated Press,


A Republican and a Democratic
member of Congress joined today in
predicting passage of legislation to
prevent drafting of pre-Pearl Har-
Dor fathers.
They are Representatives Dewey,
Republican, of Illinois and Cannon,
Democrat, of Florida, both just back
from their home districts.
Mr.. Dewey said, Congress will not
stand by and see families broken up.
Every one out home in Chicago is
extremely agitated over the ques-
ton"
Agreeing. Mr. Cannon said, "a
violent disruption of family life
would result. We've got more men

we will need
The suggestion that Congress re
study the whole manpower situa-
ton, both military and industrial y
was offered by Representative Ram
speck of Georgia, House Democratic
whip.
II think we will want to see just
what the manpower needs are and
then set more definite legislative
policy" Mr.. Ramspeck said.
1T may be necessary to draft pre-
Pearl Harbor fathers. But certainly
Congress will want to determine how
necessary it is.

of Congress, given in interviews,
