The Captive Bride
SYNOPSIS
Keith, lovely San Fran-
Dnl
cis.o socialite, is enroute to Tar-
nigan, Canada, - aboard Revelry
Bourne's Stikine Maid to spend a
hunting season at her late father's
lodge, "River House." There was
'a proviso in Larry Keith's will that
his daughter must do this before
selling the property. Eighteen
r years ago, when Denny was only
. six, her selfish mother, Sylvia, had
- divorced Larry because he would
not sell his hunters' outfitting bus
iness on the Stikine River and live
in San Francisco. Although Sylvia
remarried, Larry never stopped
loving her. Among the passengers
aboard the Mid are Rio Carew,
. wealthy divorcee ; Derek Haskell,
Larry's college-bred, half-breed
guide, of whom Rio is enamoured;
I Dr. Pool Van Cleve, a surgeon
suffering from, a nervous break
. down and very bitter towards all
women; and Harp. MacFarlane,
Larry's - trusted . foreman. Just
across the Canadian border, the
- boat anchors for ; the night and
' everyone goes ashore to dance in
- the grove. Alone with Bourne on
the bank, the romantic surround
ings cast a spell over Denny and
he kisses him, completely forget
ting her fiance, Murray Hart. When
i Bourne responds she becomes
frightened and pulls away. Revelry
apologizes but warns: "In this
country no girl dares do what you
. ' did tonight unless . . Humia
ted, Denny flees to her stateroom,
vowing to avoid him, but the next
day he appears to have entirely for
gotten the incident. She decides to
" - adopt the same attitude; -bat plans
to retaliate for the offense, when
v- - they reach Tarnigan. " One method
"."would be to sell River House to
. "Jack Page, captain Jof the Tai
Wind, and Bourne's rivat Page
' has decided to disregard a gentle
men's agreement between his late
-' father and Bourne's that the Pager
would stay sway from the Stikine
as there was business enough for
only one outfit. The MSaid finally
arrives at Tarnigan, The following
three weeks. Page showers Denny
with attention in an effort to obtain
River House, while Bourne tends
to business. Honey-jo disapproves
and confides in her beau. Harp,
that Page is going furtively with
Willow. Derek's half-sister. Re
turning from a ride with Page;
Denny goes into the living room
where pictures of herself, her
mother and the first Larry Keith
adorn the walls. Looking at the
latter, Denny is reminded of Harp's
- words: "Your father looked like
- His- Nibs. Same dent in his chin.
Tis the sign of a man who's soft
with" women.' And, then, for no
reaton she remembered Revelry
Bourne's chin. His mouth was firm
above the dent in his "chin and-a
shirer of remembrance ran through
herrt had a velvet warmth. . . .
I CHAPTER XVII 8
He would be back in Tarnigan to-
- morrow with the Maid. He spent
part of each week there while
the U aid was in, but so far he had
not mentioned the buying of River
" House, and ahe had been given no
chance to make him feel any un
certainty about the acquisition of
the Keith property. His attitude,
' so in contrast with Page's aggres
sive eagerness, piqued Denny. .His
remark about her behavior that
night in the woods still rankled. So,
when she met' him, which was sel
dom, she treated him with a certain
formality, addressing him as "Cap
tain' Bourne, while she called Page
by his first name.
"Steps sounded on the terrace out-
side the imng-room door.
She turned to see Doctor Van
Cleve entering with a sturdy, sandy
haired man in cream-colored flan
nels the Reverend , Dudley Grey.
The letter's blue eyes twinkled in a
fresh, pink-skinned face and he car
ried himself like an officer on pa
rade. "The Commander" eTery one
called him. and he was in truth a
British naval officer turned Episco
pal missionary, because of a death'
bed promise to his younger brother,
a chaplain mortally wounded ia the
Battle of Jutland.
Denny had been deeply touched
by the Commander's story, not a
word of which she bad heard from
the missionary's lips.. But Harp had
;told her how the officer had resigned
ifrnm the service to which he had
.devoted twenty-five years of his life.

sacrificed personal advancement, re
nounced the naval . life which he
loved, and entered a seminary to
make good his word to the dying
man. When he was ready for the
missionary field, his only request
was that he be sent some place
where his Majesty's fleet had never
touched. "Some place where they
won't remember me as a roistering
lieutenant commander," he had
said.
Tarnigan was the answer.
For three years now he had been
doing his matter-of-fact British best
as doctor, dentist, priest, mediator
and midwife to the Thaltan tribe.
Denny had already grown fond
of the missionary. She greeted him
warmly end directed him to his fa
vorite chair.
As Denny passed Van Cleve, ahe paused and said impulsively: "Doctor,
your remarks about women are unpardonable, but your acts belie them."
"Doctor, won't yon stay and join
us in a cup of tea?" she asked, turn
ing to Van Cleve. She had little
hope of his assent, he had so per
sistently refused all her previous
invitations, v
- Now, to her surprise, he took a
seat opposite the Commander.
"Thank you. ; I shall be glad to,"
he said, sinking wearily against the
back of his chair.
Rio Carew came In from the ter
race. "Hello, everybody 1" she said,
sitting down near the Commander.
"What an honor 1" she drawled, eye
ing Van Cleve from nnder Insolent
lids. "Our distinguished misogynist
taking tea with the ladies I" . ,
Because the. doctor had-openly
avoided her from the first, Rio took
a perverse delight in. baiting him.
So far her jibes had brought forth
nothing but an occasional monosyl
labic reply, conrteous and cold.
Often, as now, he had stared down
at the floor, saying nothing. .
"Well, Vani-" she called him that
because she had an idea he resented
it "soon you'll be way out in the
great open ' spaces, where there's
nothing feminine to offend your eye.
Except the females of the species,"
she amended.
The Commander, obviously ' dis
tressed, tried to change the subject
by saying, "My word, Mrs. Carew I
This country certainly agrees with
you. You're as vivid and sparkling
as a Jewel today I" h p
The doctor remarked acidly,
"Whenever you see a jewel of a
woman, you can be sure some fool
man is paying for her brilliance."
Rio was disconcerted by this un
precedented retaliation, but only for
a moment. She retorted with mock
sweetness, "But one knows, does one
not, dear Doctor, that you have
never been out of pocket for any
such reason." She raised the ciga
rette in her mouth so that the Com
mander might IitIk it.

her pretty, painted face. "The pearl
is a lovely thing,1 he continued, with
apparent irrelevance. "But the most
perfect pearl was formed because
it was a parasite. The oyster, try
ing to protect itself from gouges of
a sharp-edged grain of sand,
wrapped it in that satiny coating
that is so much admired. But de
spite its soft outward sheen, the
heart of a pearl remains a piece of
gTit hard and black and ugly."
"So I learnd in grammar school,
Van," countered Rio. "You might
add, however, that those who want
pearls do not care what lies at the
heart. They care only for the shine
and shimmer of the outside. And
that is what they pay for." "
"Doctor," the Commander broke
in, "aren't you a bit rough on the
ladies, implying that they are para
sites?" That Rio had provoked the doe-
tor's speech did not, in ' Denny's
mind, excuse his bitter attack on her
sex. She was racking her brain for
something1 to say that would relieve
the situation when Honey-jo accom
plished the same purpose by wheel
ing in the tea cart, a service she
would entrust to no one else.
Kio did not join in the general
conversation that followed. She fin
ished her tea and went upstairs.
The Commander, always frankly in
terested in food, presently made his
way back to the kitchen to talk with
Honey-jo. ,
Denny, left alone with the doctor,'
glanced at him, wondering , what,
dark thoughts painted the gloom on
his face. She didn't like him, yet
his obvious nnhappiness somehow,
touched a sympathetic chord in her.
Perhaps, she thought, it was because
he was thin and dark and brown
eyed like Murray." ,
She rose,' gathered up her gaunt
lets and riding crop, and started to
go upstairs; but as she passed Van
Cleve, she paused and said im
pulsively, "Doctor, your remarks
about women are unpardonable; but
your acts belie them. You've spent
your last three weeks in that make
shift office of yours ministering to
womenIndian women . and their
babies. You can't think so badly of
my sex." .
He replied coldly, "Does it matter
what I think?" t
"It does not," flashed Denny, try
ing to curb her indignation. "Neither
does your rudeness. Just now I'm
impervious to all unpleasantness be
cause tomorrow only twenty-four
hours away the itaid will bring me
letters from a man who loves me.
The most wonderful man in the
world 1" Her desire to impress him
made her voice a little uneven. '

Tower Sjt Ended
As Menu Recited
SAN QUENTIN. Calif., July 31
-Jpy-Lurei by thoughts of an
elaborate steak dinner. Meyer
Golas, 32, Los Angeles burglar,
came down last night from an 85
foot tower in San Quentin prison
on which he had been perched
several hours In his second "sit
up" strike within the week.
Warden Court Smith said Golas
came within 15 feet of the ground
as darkness fell and conversed.
The conversation turned to food,
and the warden mentioned that
his dinner hour was at hand.
. "You go ahead and eat your
dinner," Warden Smith said the
conTict declared. "I'll stay here
and think It OTer awhile."
When the warden returned
Golas listened attentively as the
menu was reeled off, and at 8
p.m. he leaped to the ground,
went with the guard captain to
the dining room and consumed a

Tomorrow, said the warden,
Golas will be taken to a perm
anent single cell and will be kept
in "medical isolation." He will
be confined in a yard for mental
cases.
Penitentiary officials termed
Golas' act "exhibitionism."
Fair Board Plans
Booth for County
The Marion county fair board
will begin in the near future to
lay plans for the county's booth
at the 1937 state fair, Chairman
A. A. Geer said yesterday. As yet,
however, no plans have been dis
cussed.
Chairman Geer and Roy Mice,
another member of the board,
probably will assume responsibil
ity for deciding on the type of
booth and then arranging for It,
Geer said, because the third mem
ber, Warren Gray, does not have
the time to assist them.
