Her voice shook a little when she laughed. The man‘s smile was as reassuring as his warm Southern draw!. She was small and very frightâ€" ened, and Jed spoke to her as he would to a child. "Don‘t you bother apologizing, little lady. 1 was just wishin‘ somebody would come along and keep me company. Nobody likes toe be alonc in a storm like this." With a terrific crash that seemâ€" ed to shake the world, another blast of thunder and lightning roared overhead, and Jed reached out and caught a young woman who, with a stifled scream, ran terrorâ€"stricken into the doorway. It was as though the clements had catapulted her into his arms. "Oh," she gasped when the tight grasp of the strange young man had steadied hor. "Iâ€"didn‘t see Only the taxi drivers smiled at nature‘s sudden fury. Inching their way along the crowded canâ€" yons of the metropolis they hoped, and perhaps prayed a little, that the shower would end in a steady weekâ€"end downpour. f Jed Patrick, a block from his room in the upper Forties, off the White Way, dashed into a handy doorway because he prized highly the one good suit that covered his long, lean frame. The Eleiments Unleashed f Whistling softly, Jed took off his hat and shook the big drops from its brim before putting it back on his head. Then the young man leaned back and sniffed at the cooling air, grateful that it would break for a little while the terrific late June heat wave that for several days had held New York in an®intolerable grip.

Strangs, she thought, how all right it seemed for her to be doing the : first really unconventional thing she’d"e?er done in her life. "I‘m glad to have company.‘ Jed wrapped the blanket around her. "I‘ve got a kid gister just about your age, and I‘ve always taken care of her." "I am chilly." She shivered. "But you shouldn‘t go to so much trouble," "Here, Moleen," he bent over and put them behind her back, "prop yourself up here and I‘ll get a blanket to wrap around you. You look frozen." Jed got up and pulled the couch close to the fireplace, then went into the closet and brought out two pillows. â€" * "I will!l And you call me Mo!â€" een." I hillbilly bands do.

"I‘m just plain Jed Patrick, and since we met so informally, I think you should call me Jed." "I‘m a oneâ€"man band, all by myâ€" self." He reached un on the manâ€" tlepiece and took down a weatherâ€" beaten banjo. "Missâ€"or, what‘s your name? meet Tillie." The girl bowed. "My name is Moleen O‘Dare, ‘ "She‘s the great love of my and I‘m very pleased to meet you, Tillie," life," Jed clasped the banjo and planted a loud kiss on the strings.

She‘ll take me to fame and fortune yot. We never give up." "Do you sing hillbilly songs?" the girl asked then. "Heaven forbid!" Jed shook his head vigorously. "At least. not the kind you hear the soâ€"called "Only Bronx ones in bands." The girl wasn‘t quite sure whethâ€" or to take him seriously or not. "Are you in a band?" "Haven‘t you ever," he looked up, "heard of Southcr.. hospitalâ€" ity, little lady? Why, down where 1 came from us boys just go around all day long lookin‘ for young ladies to try our Southern hospitality out on." "I get it!" the girl laughed, and bent over to shake the water from her jet black curly hair. "You‘re all Boy Scouts down there! Where is your home?" "I‘m a Kentucky hillbilly." The man lit a match and set fire to strips of paper he had torn. "Did you ever see a genuine hillbilly before 2" "Kentuchky Hilbilly" "The fire will feel nice after the soaking I got! But I hate to put you to so much trouble." The girl took off her red hat and hung it gingerly over the radâ€" iator. The young man squatted down and put some sticks in the fireâ€" place. "Well, here we are! This is once I‘m glad there‘s a fireplace. I‘ve a fow sticks of wood and some newspapers." The girl hesitated.

So she said, "I live over the river in Brooklyn." f "Would you like to get your clothes dry before you go back?* Jed asked. Taking her hand, and sheitering her as best he couid with his coat, Jed hurried the dripping young woman down the block and up the brown stone‘steps that led to his rooming house. His room was on the ground floor down a long hall, and once inside he turned on the light and faced her with his wide boyish smile. He seemed like the sort of chap whose feclings would be hurt if she rofused.

She had almost forgotten how hungry she was. Jed measured coffee and water and took a bag of doughnuts from a shelf. Watching him, Moleen thought he must be at least six feet two inches tall, and he was lean and brown as a young trce. His hair was unruly, brown and brushy.
