RAILROAD OFFICIAL DIES
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 16.—MV
W K. Etter, 69. vice-president ol
the Santa Fe railroad, was found
dead today in his room at the
California Club. Dr. Wayland
Morrison, who was summoned,
said he evidently had died during
last niabt of a heart attack.
CHAPTER 34
During the weeks that followed
I that night when she and Martin
had visited the cower, the night
when she had introduced the two
men, Paul and Martin, Karen wa ;
to keep on asking herself what
Fate was up to. She had to blame
someone so now that the moon
was barred, it might as well be
Fate, ft was something that kept
! .mowing her and Martin Halida:,'
together, not just into accidental
meetings r.t t into each other's
aims!
She could i ot believe that it was
a mere physical attraction. Mal
ta's attraction for her was not
physical. Paul was far more hand
some and attractive in that ap
peal. She admired Martin’s char
acter. rarpecf, d his mind, agreed
with muon of his phi'osophy. But
that was not enough o make her
thrill at the slightest touch from
him. to be drawn toward him as
if by a st ong magnet, to experi
ence the oneness of that suspended
moment they had shared together
ir the tower.
She had never resnonded in any
such way to Paul. H.iri he found
a difference when he had kissed
Eva? Was it just that there was
a difference, therefore a novelty.
Pert no that made that moment,
that first kiss, cheap, rendering
ihem so meaningless that erasure
should not be difficult. And al
though she had decided the only
thing to do was to forget that any
thing had happened. Karen found
that to forget was the one thing
she could not do.
Of course sue did not go on re
membering al! the time. She was
much too busy, too occupied now
Cor that. Thera were the holidays,
which were much more demand
ing this year with a little boy in
1he big house and the feeling that
perhaps this might be the Iasi
truly joyous Christmas and happy
New Year for the duration. And
ihen. after the holidays were over
Buffy aid manage to “catch”
something; he had to be kept in
bed for ten days and watched care
udly for an even longe-r period.
That postponed the fishing trip
with Marty and the anticipated
visit at the trailer camp. It also
meant that, as Martin did not come
to see fhe bey when he was aT
play on the beach. Karen did not
see Martin, either.
This, she decided, was just as
well.
Besides, the beach was no longer
Quite as pleasant a place to be
as it nad been There were new
curfew regulat'ons restricting any
one from being on the beach, even
The sea itself was after sundown.
The sea tself was full of oil that
ing one’s feet to the shore, stain
ing one’s feet and clothing and
bringing grim reminder that, as
Marty had expressed it there were
more boats oeing sunk than could
be replaced Sometimes tnere was
ether refuse: broken bits of wood
and the like, fragments of crude
rubber. At one time a bunch of
banands floated in to repose
against the breakwater near the
bathhouse. At another time Karen
i saw the police rolling up some
tires that had raiden the waves.
Grimmest of all was a lifeboat,
now anchored near the city dock.
I> was chained and burned, and
“ill of bullet holes. The submarine
that had sunk that freighter had
fi.ed on the n en as they had tried
to row away. Often one could see i
big ciouds of dark smoke, lasting |
for hours, cn the brim of the hori
zon, meaning that another ship was
sinking slowly to its deep grave.
There was one sinking within a
few miles cf shore, a sight that
caught at ones throat and brought
the sting cf tears to the eyes as
crowds gathered for miles to wit
ness that slow destruction. Much
of its cargo was saved, but there
were men whose flesh was hor
ribly blackened from the explosion
and the blistering oil. whose suf
fering and courage no' one, having
seen, could ever forget
This was war, although as yet
there were many people living far
from the coast who had r ct awak
ened to this fact. There was talk
of gasoline rationing for the east
ern seaboard; there would be su
gar rationing hooks and. later oth
er commodities, as the government
struggled with the problem of keep
'ng enough for all and maintaining
ceiling prices that would prevent
inflation People were buying War
i Ponds and S'amps, no longer for
defense but with the tiope of a
future offensive The win id resort
that had been a playground for
the idle and rieh was overrun with
toys in khaki
ineyre so young, mose uuys,
e\en the ones with wings,” Karen
pictested. Their bright, young
eager faces twisted her heart;
tlieir plucky cheer and reckless
courage were dominant, but it was
difficult io meet it with responding
warmth when one realized that
they did not know the treacher
of the enemy *hev must face, that
they would be sent to the farthest,
smallest, most uncivilized corners
of the globe—and that many of
'them would never come back.
Karen wondered again what
Martin would do. what part he
would ; eek. She had nut asked
him, although she had wanted to.
Tc was unthinkable that he would
roi somehow do his pa't. She ad
mired mm far too much in other
ways to discredit him in this. He
might, of course be waiting to he
drafted Tf so. it might not be long
before ne would have to go away.
Since she wanted him to be in
things, it was a contradiction not
lo want this to happen. But ev
erything was a contradiction these
days, the wor'd itself* madly try
ing to kill off its peoples and its
civilization and denounce its faiths.
S< that it was no wonder Karen’s
little wild should be off balance.
Outwardly it remained in some
v.ays the same; things were, on
the surface, the same between her
self and Paul, although she knew
they were not underneath. They
not just because of Martin, al
though partly that, if she would be
entirely honest. She was certain
they were not the same within
Paul, not because he behaved any
differently toward her. but because
he xvas too careful to be the same.
She aid not know whether he
was seeing Eva Parks or not. or
how Eva was making out in her

maybe too soon But theie seemed
nothing to do except wait for spring
and for whatever it might bring

Karen still wore the gorgeous
ring on the right finger of her left
hand. She would not take it oh

It was a conversation aoout Mar
tin that led unreasonably ,,0 anothei
fcpic that might be the beginning
of that ‘ straigntening”—at least so
Karen noperl She had felt all
along that if unly Paul would teii
l:er about Eva it woud help. May
be she was inconsistent, femininely
sc, in not telling Paul in exchange
about Martin But since there had
been so iitle—one kiss—one shared
moment—and even that was all
over and done with, except in Kar
en's thoughts
She was thinking about Martin,
wondering when she would see
him again, if ever, as maybe he
already had Inched his trailer onto
1-js ridiculous little car and had
driven cut of her world, although
surely ue would not do that without
coming to say goodby to Buffy,
when Paul mentioned his name.
ivridiever oecame ol that fel
low who lived in a trailer camp,
that friend of yours and Buffy’s?”
Paul asked. It was a natural
enough question. Karen had won
dered why, having met Marty that
night, Paul never had expressed
any further interest or cuiiosity in
him. Yet it startled her, maybe
di e to her conscience again.
“What makes you ask? I sup.
pose he’s still living in his camp.
Neither Buffv nor I have seen him
since the night he was here.’’ Why,
that had been more than a month
ago!
“Oh, I just wondered.” Paul
sounded as if that had been his
only reason. Then he added, "He
was a queer duck. Sort of a Com
munist ir some such, I gathered.
Maybe worce than that."
‘‘What do you mean?” Karen
was an fiy at herself for resenting
Paul’s superior attitude, when he
actually knew so little about Mar
tin.
Well, he might be one of many
things these days. You have to be
very careful whom you befriend
The country and this particular
sirail community are seething with
people who would like to make
trouble, whose background is verv
vague.”
“If you mean that Martin might
be a fifth columnist of some kind
or a saboteur that s ridiculous!”
Karen felt tint she was on sure
ground there.
I don t think so.” Paul sounded
31st as firm. "In fact. I’m pretty
sure or 1 wouldn’t say what I’m
