THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON A PATH T' Synopsis: CI ire auspccta that his employer's firm Is Hearing the rocks, yet the man sends Cllve to England to make a survey mid tells him to tnke a belated honeymoon afterward. Cllve and Santa were married a few days after Sttnta was divorced from Dickey; since marriage Cllve has tried not too successfully, to live up to a wife with an Independent Income who spends money right and left. Chapter 24 ' ALONE AT LAST The hour was shortly after ten. The boat sailed at midnight. CHve felt like a prisoner who had served his sentence. He hadn't realized how bitterly his personality had been curtailed till their hand baggage had been carried down to the waitinc taxi. "Good-bye, little nest, where we've been so happy." Santa kissed slim fingers to bare floors and sheeted furniture. CMve's heart whispered, "And may you burn while we re gone." In the taxi his spirits rose. "What's the matter with you?" Santa rested her hand on his knee. You're bouncing." He barged into her, all but bump ing her nose. "Our honeymoon's commencing." Site pushed him aside. "Goose! You're crazy." Nevertheless, his excitement In fected her. Having -nade sure that their trunks were aboard, they went on deck. As they stood by the gang-plank she jogged him. ''Remember the last time?" When you didn't follow me? What a chase you've led me!" "Hope I've been worth while." "So-so," he shrugged his shoul ders. "As an example of impassioned CUNDOWN HISTORIES Till'. HUNGRY VISITOR By Mary Graham Bonner Willy Nilly, Flotilla Botilla and all the others in Puddle Muddle were quite sure their apple Jelly had turned out to be a great suc cess. In the first place its taste was delicious, and it was becoming just suit enougn. "We'll put the covers on the glasses and put the jelly away on the top shelf the first thing in the morning," Willy NUly said. He awoke early and nudged Rio. who was sleeping at the foot of the bed. "Let's get right up and look at our jelly, ' he said. So they went down the stairs from the bedroom to the main room below, which was Willy Nilly's re pair shop. At one end of this was the pantry. They had a stove in the shop snere tney cooked their meals and a table where Willy Nilly ate. Rip, the dog, always found it more comfortable to eat on the floor and as most of Willy NJlly's friends were animals he never insisted upon lit 'lie manners. They opened the little door that led into the pantry and Willy Nilly gave a scream, and Rip growled and put his tail between his lees. There .sitting on the floor In the center of the pantry was a black hear. The jelly was almost all eaten up all except some that had been overturned on the floor and had not os yet been licked up, and some that was on the bear's face and paws and chest. "Your jelly is simply delicious, and a bear is a good Judge of sweet things," the bear said, licking his lips. "I congratulate you in my growl ing brt frrnteful hear fashion!"

"If I stayed at boiling point, I'd evaporate," he retorted. The band had ceased playing, Tugs fussed about the liner, nosing her into the dark tank of river. The screw started churning. "How about bed?" he suggested. "I've only you to protect me," she whispered irrelevantly. She'd uttered his thought. Hav ing been married three months, at last they were alone. Lights of New York faded like baleful stars. The little white cabin instantly became home to him. The reason was not far to seek. He had paid for it. He'd stipulated that she was to be his guest. Even her letter or credit he had provided. "Jinks! It's comfy." "Remains to be seen," she re sponded, "whether I can lift my head from the pillow tomorrow. On my last voyage, which was to Ha vana " "I've heard about it." He cut her short. It was a blue, summer crossing. Next morning the ocean was still as a mill-pond. Having breakfasted in their berths and dressed lazily, they strolled and were enticed to Join in a game of shuffle-board. By evening they were known as the oridai couple. Then London. In a setting to which they were both strange, his errand gave them their only impor tance. He was up early. All day he was absent. He returned to the ho tel to find her eager. Business concluded, conversation turned on which of all the wonder spots they should select to spend their holiday. Because quite a num ber of their fellow-passengers had been bound for St. Jean de Luz they chose it too. Spain across the border: the Golfe de Gasogne at their front-door. Basques: bull fights; cork-forests; the Pyrenees rising fantastic. The day before they left England, they paid a hurried visit to Strat-ford-on-Avon. When they arrived, it seemed too silly to waste the sun shine prying. Instead they hired a canoe. In the green remoteness of tin kling waters and lush meadows, the concrete of cities seemed a hideousness imagined. Prom pil lows among which she nestled, Santa gazed fondly at Clive. The merry stillness was moulding them into a common oneness. - This time six months ago she had been living separated in Chicago, her future a blank. As though a ban dage had been torn from her eyes, she was seeing all she owed him, Without warning, she asked; "Were you happy in the apart ment v "Then you knew I wasn't?" "I didn't; I do now. Why weren' you?" "You acted as though you bought me at a pet-shop." "Was it as bad as that?" " 'Fraid it was." She raised herself on her elbow. "You were as much my husband then as you are now. Why didn you employ cave-man tactics? ' "Because you weren't as much my wife then as you are now." She frowned laughingly. "Darling, you don e look a sap. and yet you allowed me to make fool of you." "And you re asking the reason? Had I rebelled, I d have lost you. L.ost me!" sue was honestly amazed. "But, Clive, till we left Now York that was my terror that I'd lose you. It was why I shouldered all the responsibilities. You weren1 used to marriage; I was. It seemed to me that if I spared you wor ries But I'm anxious to hear your side. Tell inc." He could afford to jest at a dan- get that was past. "If youd asked me in New York should have replied desperately, IS. Pin re In post tlon again 18. Supper 20. Grow old 82. Similar 25. Finished E8.

Next morning they were on their way to rrance. xne ice or tneir reticence was broken. They explored each other's emotions, determined that nothing must remain hidden. Santa up- oraiaea nerseit wkth ludicrous vehemence. "What I deserve is the ducking- stooi. - "Much more or this remorse," he feigned fierceness, "and I'll lay you across my knee and spank you." "I'd kick like hell," she laughed. On their only night in Paris she appointed herself a penance. Noth ing would do but he must conduct her to the cafe in which he had read the description of her wedding to Dak. "What a shabby little beast I was!" As a corrective, he hailed a pass ing fiacre and ordered the man to drive to the Folies Bergere. -yuit it." He crushed her to him. "There's no one dearer in the world. I'm fed up with your repentance." Twisting in nts embrace, she k!b- gled: "So am I." j That started a new chapter.

That afternoon she excused herself on the plea that she had a headache. At five o'clock he tiptoed into her darkened room to find it empty. Shortly before dinner she entered and begged him to take her to the Casino. "But you're not up to it." She professed that her headache had quite, quite vanished. At the Casino they dined out of doors on a terrace, rose-pink in the light of sunset. The sea was mack erel-greenthe horizon a jasper wall. A Spanish orchestra made wild music, to which a brilliant crowd of spendthrifts, fortune hunters and respectable sight seers danced tumultiously. They dawdled over coffee long after night had gathered. Chvc did his best to entertain her. She paid him no more than a polite atten tion. Suddenly, with a hurried, "Ex cuse me," she escaped him. Having settled the bill, he hunt ed everywhere for her. His anxiety had reached lever-pitch, when he bumped into her coming out of the baccarat room. "O, it's you I" Her face was chalky. "I've seen enough. Best be going." In their room at the hotel, over looking the moonlit Oolfe de Gas cogue, they undressed In silence as though they had quarrelled. As he extinguished the lights, she dug her face in the pillow and burst into un controllable sobbing. "But Santa, what have I done?" She threw her arms about him, seeking protection. "It's not you. It's Dicky." "Curse the fellow. IH settle his hash. Has he taken to writing you?" "He's here. Today I saw him."
