Newspaper Page TextWednesday, October 5, 1932 LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE, ORE. LEAP YEAR BRIDE By LAURA LOU BHOOKMAN J (Copyright 1D32) CHAPTER XLV , Dan's voice was excited. "Look I" ho cried. "It's my story printed un der your by-line. Here In the 8 1" He named a magazine of moderate circulation. " 'Kempy's Crime' every word exactly as I wrote It. An advance copy came to the office and I hap pened to pick It up. How did they get It, Brenda?" ' Tho woman's face had gone white. Her eyes lighted angrily. ' "What are you doing here?" Bhe demanded. "I told you not to come." "But I don't understand about this! There miust be some explana tion. Brenda. - They've no right to print my story without paying me. I wanted to see you before sending a telegram " ' The blaze In the green eyes deep ened. "You can't do that!" Brenda exclaimed. "You may as well know . it, I suppose.' I sent that story and tho check did come. I was keeping it for you as a surprise." "You sent it! Brenda, you took my story?" Incredulity, amazement In the youth's ace. Bho must nave felt the sting of that glance. Brenda 's assurance weakened. "I I : didn't mean it that way," she hastened to explain. "There must have been a mistake. I sent the story but of course I thou eh t they'd use your namo over it. You don't think I'd tryi to take credit for your story do you? You Wouldn't accuse me of that!" 1 "Tho check' pan said levclly. "That was made out to you, too, I suppose?" '"Why why yes, Dan. I'd give it to you this minute but I don't 'have it here. I'll get it tomorrow ' "So you wanted to surprise me?" Dan repeated. His lips twisted. "Well, you did that, all right. Quite a sur prise, Brenda!" The woman drew away from- him. . Bho put one hand to her cheek In a gesture that had been rehearsed frequently. Wistfulness, a pleading note came into her voice. "Surely you're not doubting me?" she said softly. "It's all a mistake, Dan. A dreadful mjstaket" There was a pause. Then Dan Bald slowly, "You had letterB, I suppose? Can I see them?" Impatience crossed Brenda's fore head. She'd have to get rid of this fool. He Was milking a nuisance of himself. ; "I had one letter. Of course," she agreed Sweetly1. "But I destroyed It long ago. Oh, Dan, If you don't believe me I don't know what I'll dot Nobody's ever accused me of such a thing in my life I Why would I take your story? I don't see how you can even think or such a thing. You you said you loved me!" ; "Brenda, you've got to let me sec that lettcrl" "But I don't haVe It! I told you it was destroyed." ' "Then I'll write tho editor and find out for myself. I'm going to know the truth about this thlngl", .. SuddenJy Brenda Vail's. fury .over rode all caution. Her face twisted angrily. "If you do that you'll be sorry!" she cried. "I'm giving you warning. You can have your old check if you want It. It was only $100 anyhow. What If I did sell the story? It was my name that made them take it not because It was such a good story. I wish you'd get out of- here now. Get out and stay out!" Phillips did not stir. "I'll go." he said slowly, "as soon as a few more things have been cleared up." "You're going now!" "Oh, no I'm notl Not for several minutes yet." There was some thing about the level, unemotional tone that was more alarming than anger. "Perhaps," he went on, "you've forgotten, Miss Vail, that yesterday you agreed to go away with me. To New York. There was even a little discussion of marriage, If I'm not mistaken, t seem' to recall that you said you were for.et of me.

That's a beau tiful costume you're wearing. New isn't It? Cocktails on the tray. too. Do you find them a good cure for headache? Have to try the remedy some time myself.

You wouldn't by any chance tell me whom you're expecting?'" , '"No, I wouldn't!" ' ". 1 ' " 'Then I think I'll stay and find out. As your fiance I'm entitled " Brenda Vail whirled. "I've stood about enough of this!" she exclaimed hotly. "You're going to leave here but first I've a few things to say myself. It seems to take a lot to get an idea through your silly head so I'll put It In, simple words, i I'm sick and tired of you! Do you hear- that? 7.vo been tired ot you for weeks. The only reason I promised to go to New York was to make you stop talking about it. And maybe you'd like to know that silly play you wrote has come back from every agent I sent it to. When I told you a pro ducer was considering It that was a He. No producer would take drivel like that! The agents said It was hopeless. Well what do you think of that now?" Dan crossed the room to the small table. "I think I'll have a cocktail," ho snld quietly. "I think I need it." - Word Puzzle Knndrd properties Ipitxon fuhrlc 'urtuta I'ubllc notU'fs 5'Jl lOverlHbtliic; l-'rciuli ltu bach Kuie vetn Scoffed M:tl;u)y Ancient ciuvt Dutch ii? spoken in South Africa (letie.'iPiKical recurd Kl.v loft I'erusers Piiiced m a cotrimun fund More unsightly , Partly fermented if rope juice Come back Hone ol the eru Tfnild: CdlUm.

Phillips asked. "You've sold my story and spent the money. The play's a flop. Now you want me to get out. Yes, 1 guess that just about makes It complete!" i Brenda watched uncertainly. Had she said too much? She must get him away immediately, no matter ; hew It was accomplished. She hesi tated, seeking tho right approach. Phillips poured a second cocktail and drank It. "Want me to go, don't you?" he said easily. "Pretty anxious about that." "Please go, Dan. There's nothing more to--be- said -between--us. I--rm ' stfrry'f "I've "been unkind' "but It's better to have the truth come out. It's better for both of us. I'd like to be alone now." "Alone? What about the cock tails here? And the guest you're ex pecting? Oh, no, you're not going to be alone! By the way, who Is he? Of course I'm sure it's a man." Sho made no reply. After an in stant . Phillips went . on again. "That's all right. You needn't tell me. I don't know why I should be interested anyhow. Whoever the poor devil is I wish him luck! And now that everything's clearly under stood between us there's just one thing more I want to say. Then I'll clear out! Of all the low-down, underhanded, double-crossing hu mans I've met you take the prize! I don't know tho word for you. If a man tried the tricks you've pulled they'd call him a skunk or a cur but both animals tiro a hundred times above you. You're the sort !" Brenda's exclamation cut him - 34 v w us . STORy y HAL COCHRAN (READ THE STORY, THEN COLOR THE PICTURE) TVfEE SCOUTY had been trained " real well and ho could throw a lasso swell. Tho Tinymites were glad when ho said he would stop their car. - They watched lifs long rope fly through air, trust ill;; 'twould catrlt most anywhere. Ho missed the stump he throw at, though, because he threw too far. "Oh, try again." .cried Dmiey. "Ve are getting dizzy aa can be from humping on this flat car We must find Fnme way to stop. "If you can lasso something tight. I'm sure that we will- he all right If not. we're going to ride until v.e take a sudden flop." NCE more the little rope flew nut and then there came a sudden shout . "Hurray," cried AViudy "That was good! Thic time you will succeed. ' And then they heard a sudden thump. The rope had landed on thestump. Said Coppy, "When the "rope pulls straight, from this ride we'll bo Treed." They shortly found that he was short. "You fool!" she shouted.' "You can't stand In my home and 1 talk to me like that. Why, you poor sap. a lot of nerve you've gotl Think you can write going to be a great author! Bah, I'm sick of hearing those pipe dreams. Stand thero and call me names, will you? Well, let me tell you that anything you've got Is your hard luck and It was coming to you I I suppose you'll tell me it's my fault you throw away yoiir Job this morning. All right I'm glad of It! Yes, and I hope you have a hard time find ing another one!" Sho hadi forgotten oyorythlng, in the 'frenzy of her anger, Phillips watched her, scarcely able to believe his eyes. This, was not the Brenda Vail he knew. The woman was a stranger. Her face was paper white. Her thin Hps worked nervously. "So vou think vou can hh?h-hnt Brenda Vail!" she cried shrilly.1 "Suppose I tell you that tho man 1 coining here this afternoon is one I of the biggest, motion picture men I in Hollywood. M. P. Harris of ' United Actors that's who's coming here. And what's more, he's going to buy two of my stories to make Into pictures. I'm going to Holly wood to write scenarios for him. What do you think of that? It's going to mean money lots of money fame, success! It's going to mean everything In the world I want. I guess that surprises you, doesn't It? Run away to New York with you , why you insignificant little worm I ought to havo you thrown out of this room!" Dun Phillips bowed low. "Your PICTURES JQL KING right.

In the serving pantry the maid stood closo to the door, lie toning with -swiftly beating heart. Yvonne's blue eyes were wido circles. Such quarreling!

Ho was certainly coming at an ill chosen time. ' The maid entered tho living room. Brenda and Dan stood thero facing each other.
