The addition was a chemist by the name of ainu von Schlmmel and the reason Why he was so disastrous to slug s Campaign was that he too discovered the Grill As a place to eat Good food at a moderate Price. Lee served so Many men in the course of a Day that ago they had All gotten to look alike to her. It was a week store she took any notice of von Schimmel. Even then her attention had to called to him. Who s the Little Guy with the scrubby hair Ani the Moon asked Patsy one afternoon when the luncheon crowd had slowed to a minimum. Lee wa5 vague. Her mind just then was or. Slug Barnaby. If slug could have realized How much determination it took for the lady of his sophisticated heart to refuse his repeated invitations he would have been deliriously Happy. In Forti , he could t know that. J Little Guy with the plate glads said Patsy. The Pale Flouti handful with the climbing eyebrows. Who is never saw anyone like said Lee absently. She was still trying to decide How far slug might be trusted in the Back seat of an automobile. Why you wait on him every Day mean to say you Don t know who i m talking Patsy stopped the mechanical swiping of her Section of the counter and favored Lee with it. Surprised stare. Lee confessed i Don Well Well thoughts far away among she daisies he gone on this Barnaby Guy you d better play away from that lad Strong stuff for innocent Little girls. And give a glance at your new admirer tomorrow noon. Toss him a smile or two. He s worked hard enough for he has what do you mean Lee was mildly interested. He s been hanging of you with his eyes Ever since he first came in Heie. And he won t sit at any other counter but yours. If the stools Are full be Waits. Take a look Lor yourself. so Lee took a look for herself. And the moment he approached lies counter she knew him from Patsy s description. He was Short not As tall As she was and rather thin. His shoulders stooped As under the weight of his head which was too Large for the rest of him. His skin was thin and very fair Al most like a girls with stains of color showing through at every emotion. Story s e c t 1 0 a f in e e and his face was Worth a smile any time with its round Blue eyes and enormous thick glasses funny gnarled nose and almost non existent Eye brows High up on his big forehead. His eyes peered devouring by at her from behind the glasses. said Lee cheerfully. The Little Man grinned and blushed with Delight. If he d owned a Tail he would have wagged it. This Vrab the first time she had Ever Given Evi Dence that she knew he was alive. Hello miss he replied. Well. He knows our name Nad everything. Been doing some be your Friend told the Man indicated Patsy. Nice to have such helpful said Lee frowning at Patsy. What s your name his name he told her was Emil von Schirm Nel. He was a chemist ill the Laboratory of the Gregg paint and vanish works. He Hud been brought there recently from new York where he had Ueen living since the War. And never never had he seen such a girl As Lee Daniels who worked at the Sheridan Grill and to whom he was now surprised to line himself speaking. This last however was implied. Spanish Aren t inquired Lee solemnly. Of no now what do you think of exclaimed Lee with Surprise. Your name is Emil von Schimmel Ana you re not Spanish i d have sworn you came from said Emil anxious to Correct this misapprehension von Schimmer. Is not a Spanish or chinese Type of on which note the conversation ended presently and with May backward looks Emil left for the paint works. afer Clay he mooned dreamily 1 into the Sheridan Grill Stu Iii always at Lee s counter. From look in his Pale Blue eyes she knew that it was coming soon. It did. Would you allow me to take you to the Cinema some he Aspeci the Blush that goes with his kind of hair being very my in evidence. Aca Lee the hard boiled Lee who had a barbed refusal for every Man who tried to Date her up Over the counter of the Sheridan Grill hesitated with her reply. When it did come it arts not so barbed As usual. The a Lille Man with the amazed eyebrows and the Bil glasses had struck a soft spot somewhere. Lee was tired of being Ever fun eternally on guard. Surrounded by men with whom she must always w watchful a Man like von Schimml was a Relief. He did t try to eaten her hand and hold it when she passed him the salad. He did t twist every sentence into an insinuating thing with three or four meanings Allol which were contemptible. He comfortably capable of staying put. No query As to How Emil s conduct would be in the Back seat of an Auto Mobile nevertheless she turned him Down. She Hod almost a against allowing any Man to Date her up Over the counter feeling absurdly As though the Man who first succeeded in that would have some kind of spiritual Halter around her neck. And Lee was not yet ready to be altered. She might never have gone out with Emil if it had not been for slug Barnaby. Slug made his living at the daily by being a casual and rather Good cartoonist. He is the one who draws he spots Little figures that illustrate Tow sport Page isolated and occasional cartoons on items of local interest headings for comic articles. He had a for caricature and von Schim Mel s face was too tempting to resist. Besides slug was naturally not very Friendly with the Man who was so markedly More successful than him self in arousing Lee s interest. So he took a Pencil and a menu card one noon and the result was astonishing amusing. Lee saw Patsy and several of the Noonday regulars bending Over the menu card and chuckling gleefully. Of slug called. I be got something for Lee demanded. A Pearl necklace or a better than said slug. A swell portrait of your heavy boy bending Over the card with the others Lee saw the cartoon of von Schimmel that slug had con trived. It was cruelly True to Small body big head completely barricaded by enormous glasses scrubby hair and amazed eyebrows. It was the kind of caricature that wounds More than bullets inasmuch As it has a palpable resemblance to the subject. Lee stared coldly at slug.
