' Friday, November 4, 1932 LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE, ORE. ti 00 Nothing Venture by Patricia Went worth SYNOPSIS: Nan hotly Insists that tli broken bridge that near .y cost her own and her hus band's life was weakened by the murderous Robert Leonard, whom she has seen skulking about the estate. Jervls is stiff-necked, and wilt not believe her. Rosa mund Carew, Jervls treacherous former fiancee, calls with Janet Tetterley and they maliciously force Ann to tell that her father was Nlpel Forsyth, famous ex plorer, who died In 1019 at Bag dad. Chapter 22 ALMOST AN Al'OI.OdY Tho evening was very hot. Monk brought them Iced coffee In the li brary. It was still broad daylight, tho terraco and tho lone slope to the ravine In full sunt and the shadows on me iawn aeaa sun. call Tetterloy's bluf, but I think you'd better have held your tongue. You see, she's only got to look up an old Who's Who to score off you rather badly. And as It happens. Basher Is the sort of fellow who would be sure to have cartloads of old encyclopedias and Who's Whoa knocking about the place." "X don't know what you mean." He sat down on the arm of a big chair and leaned towards her. "Oh, I think you do. Janet's as Inquisitive as they're made. She'll go home, and she and Basher will look up tho appropriate volumes I forget what year Nigel Forsyth died?" "Nine tee n-nlneteen," said Nan. "Oh, you've looked It up?" "You didn't finish what you were saying." "Noed I?" "Please." He laughed, cot ud. crossed the Jervls went out on to the terrace, room, bent to one of the lowest and Nan picked up a book. As long shelves, and came back with a red as HoiiK was in tne room thev had . DOOK- niB talked quite easily and oleasantlv when Monk was gone there seemed to be nothing to say or too much. 2t was a relief to go through the pages of a book Into another world. She had read -no more than half a chapter, when she heard Jervls come bock. He rang to hove the coffee taken away, and stood by the window smoking a cigarette until the door had closed behind Monk. Then ho camo over to where Nan sat by a window facing the shadowed lawn. Ho stood looking down upon her. "Rather unwlBe of you to commit yourself llko that to Tetterley." Nan looked up. If she was startled sho did not show It. Her eyes had the wide, steady gaze which roused Eomcthlug in him. Anger? He took It to be anger. "Dashing, of course but a bit un wise, don't you think?" "I don't know at all what you meon." said Nan. "Really?"' "Rea-ily." "I'm afraid you've a bad memory. It was quite amusing to see you Grayco Shirts with Permanent Fit Collars f I've fallen on my feet I I con gratulate myself you're too angry to do It for me of course but I'm about to apologize." biie took a step away from him, "Why didn't you believe me?" , Ho didn't answer the question. "You've seen Rosamund. Prob ably you know her as well as I. I didn't love her. But I did think we might make a go of it. And when she let me down It was a colossal crash. I'm taking no more chances I'll beg your pardon when I see those letters." You're going to make me pay Rosamund's debt?" "Probably," returned Jervls. Nan flared up. "But suppose I won't pay?" she demanded hotly. (copyrigiu, luaa, uppincoitj (To Bo Continued) Chats With Parents "All right you've skcd for 4. Here we are I My grandfather was a bit of a collector too. Here we have Who's Who for 1918." Ho flicked over the leaves. "Here gossl 'Forsyth, Nigel Darnaway, Third son of Allstalr Darnaway For syth of Ridgefleld, Conn. Born 1876. Educated Princeton, Oxford " "Why are you reading all that?" said Nan. "You mean that It Isn't news to you you've been there already?" Nan had turned pale. She said, "I would be likely to know." Ho laughed. "Meaning that It was premeditated and you naturally got up the docu mentary evidence! But now we come to the important part 'Married 1908 Constance uivington. "Yes." said Nan "my mother." "It won't do," he said. "You wero a little fool to think you could pull it oil. Nan stood up. "You don't believe me?" Ho laughed. "Let's drop it! But If I were you, I should leave the ancestry vague Nigel Forsyth Is Just a bit too well known. "Nigel Forsyth was my father, and Constance Laving ton was my mother. My father's people were furious about tho marriage because my mother was on the stage. She died when Cyn thia was six months old, and myi father never forgave his father for I tho things ho had said about her. "He went out to Mesopotamia,, i leaving us with a sort of aunt. Her ! name was Mrs. Whipple she was my : mother's half-sister and. the widow ; of a Major Whipple of the regular ! army. My father only came home once after the war. He died at Bag dad In nineteen-nlneteen. There was i only a very little money. Mrs. Whip j pie She hesitated. "I can't be fnir to her, because she made Cynthia i very unhappy. I think sho tried to ! do her duty. She wasn't fond of children. She wasn't fond of us, and ! sho didn't understand Cynthia. That's i why I went to Solano's as a dancing i partner I simply had to get Cyn- thia awny." 1 Tho ash from Jervis cigarette fell ! and powdered the carpet. He had been looking at her hard. His ex pression changed suddenly. "You mean it's true?"- "It's quite easy for me to prove that it's true. I have my father's letters I can show them to you." His face changed again. Tho mo mentary embarrassment passed. Ho looked like a triumphant schoolboy. Hence the spleen does not appear to havo much to do with this pain. The circulation of the blood was then blamed for stitch, but this the ory, too, has been largely discredit ed. Borne light, however, has been shed upon the trouble by assiduous Investigators. It appears from recent experi ments that the phenomenon of stitch Is associated with that form of exer cise which causes the Jarring ot the organs of the body, particularly the contents of the abdominal space. Stitch would, according to this theory, be a reflex pain, due to strain upon the supporting tissues of the abdominal organs. In other words, stitch comes whon tho abdominal organs are Jarred downward. It 1b for this reason that; stitch Is more common in un trained athletes thun in thoso who nro hardened and who havo acquired tho art of rrtovlng rhythmically. AN JNIHItKCT LESSON . y Alice Hudson Praia Marcta visiting a favor :o aunt was in the habit of littering the floor with papers. On one such oc casion there was talk about the two puppies auntie had received as a gift and which were soon coming to stay at her home. "Will they like to play with mo?" asked Marcla. "Yes, I'm sure thoy will." "What kind of games will they play?" . "Oh, all sorts. I think they wllte llko to play with papers, Just as you do." "Will they leave them on the floor?" asked Mnrcla in a cautious, thoughtful tone, "and will you spank them?" "No, I won't spank them. I'll Just put them out-of-doors and let them play outside. You see I can't have them in the house if they make It untidy." Marcia looked at her aunt for a moment and seeing on her face only a pleasant, non-committal express slon, stopped and began rapidly picking up the papers and putting them into the waste basket. Marcla was what Is known as a contrary child. Had her aunt told her directly that she must keep the floor clean, she undoubtedly would have sulked and accomplished the Millions of Meteors There urenome who believe Unit the 200,000 craters on the moon tire the visible evidence of past pelting by millions of meteors. The lute Prof. T. C. Chamberlain thought that 20.000,000 meteors enter the earth's ntmosphere every day. Pro fessor Shapely believes, Unit the number may be n million, if we consider particles ot Unst us meteors. $180,000 IS CUT FROM EXPENSE, IIOSS REPORTS (CLASSIFIED ADS -IHB HABKEI PLACE OF UNION WALLOWA COONTIBS-' (Count five average word to the line.)

Oregon & j i i The Garden ! i LITTLE BULBS FOR THE KOCK GARDEN A rock garden is a garden for little plant-j, the miniatures, the tiny Jew- ( els, lost in the average perennial bor- der or formal garden. The first masses of brilliance In the rock garden will bo given by the JlMlej bulbs as well, as the first affecsj -tionpW groetlng-of tho sotter color of f the earliest bloom tho snowdrops, white with green trimming. Now Is the time to go ovu the rockery where the plants are about to enter their winter sleep and wherever a bare spot of joll shows Itself, tuck in a few of the tiny bulbs which will pop up with the first warm suns of spring, glvo their beauty, and then wither back to the tiny bulb In time to be out of the way of the later subjects. Tho rock garden Is not for tho com mon run of garden plants. It 13 a gar den for tho smaller plants and espec ially for the species which often re tain a dcllcato beauty -lost in then more colorful children.

It Is more common when exorcise In taken shortly ofter one has eaten. Tho budding athlete not Infre quently aflks thn question as to why he suffers a stitch in the side, nnd tho wise athletic director and physi cian give his the best answers they can usually no more than hazarded guesses. Though stitch has been known to occur In athletes and In persons who Indulge In heavy exercise since Bib lical times, there Is as yet no ade quate explanation for this sudden and at times agonizing phenomenon. It was long believed that the spleen had something to do with this pain, and In the professional runners of antiquity the spleen was occasionally removed as a measure for tho prevention of stitch. But now It appears that there was no warrant for such an operation. Tho spleen Is located on the left side, and stitch may as frequently occur on the right side u on the left.
