TEN IRONWOOD DAILY GLOBE. IRONWOOD, MICH. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1942. THE DAILY GLOBE FICTION AND FEATURE PACE OF BRIGHTNESS CONE CHAPTER 18 HOLLY WAITERSON COPYRIGHT 1942. I Martin said gruffly, "You've had a bad time, too many parties, too much excitement.

And I'm tired. We were both wring. Let's forget it. It's all right." Martin realized that he was late for the rehearsal. He wished tiredly that he might skip it altogether, continue right on to the club and the bachelor dinner that had been planned for him.

He was too bone-tired really to care much, yet he found himself hoping uneasily that Faith would not be upset again. He wasn't late on purpose. Mrs. Timothy Simmons' vague symptoms had been, if anything, more vague tonight, but she had certainly made up in quantity for anything that they might have lacked in quulity. The weather had something to do with that, he supposed.

But he wished that she hadn't decided to have an "attack" just tonight. He walked up through the nave of the church, shaking the wet from his coat as he went, and Faith detached herself from the group at the altar to meet him. She called gaily. "I hope this isn't an indication of what's going to happen tomorrow," and she was smiling, but he felt her tense as he bent to kiss her and she didn't meet his eyes but looked past him with a bright blind look that was the usual prelude of a scene. He groaned inwardly.

But he smiled at the oth- laughing, "You're too late, the minister's been called but the pastor said. "No, no indeed. Doctor. I'll stay you go through it once at least, quickly." The thing didn't take long but it seemed ages, conscious as lie was of Faith standing aside so tensely while he went through the prescribed motions with the girl taking her part. He knew he could depend on her to keep smiling in front of people, she would not subject him to a public scene: but he knew he was due for hours of coaxing and cajoling.

Yet even through his irritation he was conscious of pity. Because she really suffered. She was really ill after one of these scenes. He wondered how on earth a girl could get to her age and not realize that nothing in the world mattered as much as she seemed to think, that nobody was worth this devotion, this wearing, possessive devotion. ers.

One of the girls said. on his since that would At the door when the group was breaking up she said with that bright hurt smile. "I'd better go home with the girls, dear. You go right on to your party. You're already late." He shepherded her to his car firmly.

"Nonsense," he said. "That can wait." "Hail the bridegroom goeth," one of his ushers shouted to the others in "Hey. Corby. aren't you coming to your own shindig?" Martin laughed. "Soon," he said.

McKENNEY America's Card Authority Two players received a real tlirill in the recent national tournament were Murray Gross of Ashevllle, N. and Dr. William Lipton of New York, who finished second in the national men's pair championship.

They were rightly proud of their achievement in this fine field. Today's hand gave them a good score. Gross, who was declarer, let the diamond jack win the first trick. West led the ten and South won. On a third diamond lead to the ace.

West unhappily let go a club. Dummy cashed the king and business through town make it appear natural enough not to do too much talking while he had to wigcle through traffic in this rain. Faith was weeping, he knew that. Over the swish-swish of the windshield wiper he heard an occasional sniffle, and sidewiie he saw her da'obing surreptitiously at her eyes. When he could no longer appear oblivious, he pretended great surprise.

"Why, darling, what's the matter?" She pulled her hand away from his touch, "Nothing," she said stiffly. "But there must be," he said. They had come out onto open highway. He drew over to the side and stopped. "Tell me," he said, "what is it?" "You don't even care," she said passionately.

"You don't even care about getting to your wedding rehearsal on time. You keep me standing around waiting, humiliated, and you don't even care." Martin captured her strugglin hands. "You're marrying a doctor, my dear." he said frmly, "a man whose time is not really his own not a boy who can run around with you all the time, be at your beck and call. There will be lots of times when you'li have to stand around and wait. Lots of times when be disappointed at the last minute because I've been called out on a case." He added gently, "I couldn't help it.

you know that. I phoned that Mrs. Simmons wanted me." "Mrs. Simmons!" She mimickec him furiously. "That neurotic olc fool! You told me yourself there's nothing really the matter with her She's more important than I am, I suppose; she's more important than our wedding rehearsal!" "I'm afraid she is," Martin said "She's a patient.

And he added, in a way that meant i wasn't incidental at all, "I see I've made mistake in mentioning patients to you. I shan't do it again And you're not to speak of any them in that tone of voice; not to me, nor to anyone else." She said coldly, "I see. You're have everything your own way Cock of the roost." She lashed ou unexpectedly, so that he saw wha actually had been troubling hei "How do I know where you reallj were?" "What do you mean?" he de manded. "Just what I said. You told you were at Mrs.

He warned in voice like cold steel, "You eve a trick like that and what?" she taunted him. "I'll give you the spanking tha you should have had long ago. I'" you the hiding that such childish trick would deserve.

Gross cashed the ace of clubs and led a fourth round to knock out the jack. West, now thoroughly demoralized, exited with a spade, which put Gross in with the queen to cash the long club.

One of the more hilarious moments of the New York stage hit, "DuBarry Was a. Lady," was a scene in which Bert Lahr chased Ethel Merman around a bedroom.

Came time the other day for Red Skelton and Lucille Ball to repeat the bedroom chasing episode for the film version of "DuBarry" and the censors let out a howl. "Hey, you can't do that," they screamed. "But it's only a dream," yelled back the studio executives. The censors thought it over for a moment and decided in that case it was quite all right for Skelton to pursue Miss Ball around the bedroom. "But please be sure," the censors added, "that the audience knows, it's only a dream."
