Millie at Mike’s

WNU Service.
A/IILLIE’S blond nnd neat little
head was bent close to the top
* of the counter. She was staring crlt-
< Ically at the object which the person
addressing her had Just laid there.
She looked up at the rnan standing la
front of her.
Yesterday was the first time that
Millie hud ever seen Don Frazer. He
had made a breezy entrance Into ‘.ha
small restaurant at noon and came
directly to her counter.
“Hello, Cutle!” had been his first
words.
It must be admitted that Millie had
Often been addressed thus.
“Beautiful niornln', ain’t It?”
“Oh—it’s all right," she drawled.
“Ye-nh. You’re pretty cheerful,
alncha? Gimme a deck of humpR If
you ain’t too busy looking In that
mirror," he said.
“Oh, I guess 1 got time for you,” she
drawled sarcastically.
“Yeah? Thanks."
She watched him with a smile on
her lips as he moved away. She liked
this man.
Don Frazer smiled. He knew that
he was making a hit, and Millie ap-
pealed to him. Hash-house cashiers
weren't beneath him. He thought that
he could use Millie.
On his way out of the restaurant,
Don stopped again at the girl’s coun-
ter. Paying for his lunch, he started
talking to her again: "I hope you
didn’t think I was too fresh,” he said.
“Naw. 1 get used to that knd of

“I betcha do. Say," he continued
with fresh enthusiasm, "do you know
that you got darn pretty hair?"
"Are yoo going to hand me that
line?” she asked, drawing back with
feigned coldness.
“Aw no—no," he protested, “you
really have got pretty hair, and you’re
pretty, too."
“Say, you’re not so slow, are you,
big-boy?"
“Being slow wouldn’t get me any
place with you, would It?”
“Well, now, young man, Just what
do you mean?” she nsked Innocently.
Don had to wait for a while until
Millie waited upon another custom-
er. He watched her sharply. She
was pretty and a little more Intelli-
gent looking than most girls of her
type. He had to admire the freshness
of her unpaluted face and the simplic-
ity of her dress. He began to have
faint misgivings; perhaps she wouldn’t
be ns easy as he thought. Lighting a
cigarette, he puffed rapidly at It un-
til she turned to him again: “Now,
what was It that you meant?”
“I mean that I want to see a lot
more of you," he answered.
“That ought to be easy; I’m here
six hours every day.”
“Do you want me to come aroundf* *
“I didn’t say that."
“I know you didn’t, but—-say, what
are you doing tonight?”
“I can tell you better—tonight."
Watching him go through the door,
she sighed. She was wondering If
she would see him again, and, if she
did, whether he would make a date
with her, Millie wasn’t In the habit
of making dates with the restaurant’s
customers. Mike had warned her
against It, and Mike knew; hadn’t he
run this little beanery for twenty-
three years? But this Don was dif-
ferent; he had to be different; some-
body had to take her out of this
place. Millie didn’t want to be a
hash-house cashier all her life, and
she had little chance of meeting men
outside the restaurant.
During the evening she began to
grow weary of watching for him.
Customers came, ate, and went; yet
there was no Don. She sighed and
decided to forget about him when she
heard his voice at her elbow. "HI
Millie!”
“Oh, hello, Don,” she said, startled.
“I’m almost starved," he said.
“Guess I’ll grab a bite to eat now;
see you right after,"
Watching him as he ate his sup-
per, Millie wondered about his nerv-
ousness; she wondered about other
things, too, where he worked, and
where he lived. She compared him
with the few men she had known
well; there weren’t many of them;
her brothers; her cousins; Mike, and
two others, almost forgotten now, with
whom she had gone to the movies and
a few dances. Her father had told
her that all men were devils; Mike
had warned her about accepting dates
wlttr his customers; her brothers had
told her that they would lick any man
they saw her with before she married.
Millie wondered how she was going to
marry when she knew so few men.
Don finished his meal and walked
over to Millie’s counter. She noticed
a harried expression on his face and
It puzzled her.
“Millie,” he said, looking about him
nervously, "I’m sorry about tonight
I wanted to take you to a dance, but
I can’t make It now.”
"Oh, that’s all right, Don.” But it
wasn’t all right She had set her
heart on spending the evening with
him.
"I got a call," he said, passing her
his meal-check and a ten-dollar bill
from a well-filled bill-fold, “and 1’va
got to take a train to Pittsburgh to-
night I suppose tltot sounds funny
to you but—”
“No,” she Interrupted, her Ups curl-
ing disdainfully, “It does not sound
funny—It sounds phoney. And," look-
ing up at him with hot moist eyes
filled with pain, “this bill’s phoney,
too. Hey, Mike I"
