Chapter 30
INTERRUPTED HONEYMOON
VH' how rich!" giggled Judjr.
" "Com on Into oar ptaee and
we'll tell Tom, and have a drink.
But listen! One goo-goo ere oat
of you In Tom'e direction aid all
to over between us."
"Except In public," ooaaed Hope.
"I must goo-goo to my hueband In
public."
"Yeah? Well, control yoursaMt"
Hope dressed with high concern
that night, blessing her wisdom In
her hasty packing, cursing the lack
of a maid and the email quarters
shared with Millie Seabrook.
But wtien at last she emerged,
gowned In pale pink lace, assured
by the ecstatic Millie that "you-all
look divine!", she and Tom wout
arm and arm Into the dlnlng-saloi,
and were seated at a rail table era
the balcony of the dining-room.
Hardly had she made her effective
entrance, and coyly permitted Tom
to order her wine and light her
cigarette, than Hope realised that
Dickey and his father were seated
directly opposite her on the othor
aide of the balcony.
Dickey was looking at her.
Aghast! His eyes unbelieving as
she gazed steadily straight bark at
him.
A voice In her ear startled. Tom
trying to talk to her. Bat she
eoald not tear her eyes away. . . .
' Until aha saw Dickey turn to his
father and say something. Put
down hla napkin and push back his
chair. A second later Dickey had
left the dlnlng-salon!
She turned then, hi spite of
Hlckey's troubled gase. Turned to
Tom, who was Irritably pointing
out Judy, who, according to their
plan, was seated at a single table
a few feet away.
She gave a nlt-wltted smile to
Tom, and nodded stupidly. Heard
herself inviting Judy over to Join
them.
She picked her way through the
meal, conscious of Hlckey'a eyes
fixed oa her throughout the endless
dinner.
"It worked!" she mumbled excit
edly to the bride and groom. "It
worked. I won't need Tom as my
husband much longer. He got up
and left the room, Judy. Surely
that means he's Jealous he cares f"
"Pipe the way his father Is watch
ing you," Judy admonished. "May
be that doesn't mean anything!"
"Say, couldn't we talk about our
romance?" suggested Tom over the
soup. "Tou know Just a few
words, here and there?"
Hope lifted her wine glass.
"May I propose a toast?" she said
solemnly. "To the dearest kids In
the world who let me bntt In on
their honeymoon. And I'd do aa
much for you two, Ood forbid!"
Not once again that evening, how
ever, did Hope catch a glimpse of
the Dales. Not at the dance, nor
m the bar, nor out on deck, nor In
any of the salons. Discouraged, she
relinquished a fatigued Tom to
Judy around eleven o'clock and
went to her own cabin. Only to
receive a radio at midnight that
made her bluer than the sea.

HOPE
The radio messaitea she received
thereafter, as a counter-distraction
to her main Interest In life, burned
np the ether between the old home
tn Westchester and the ship that
was ploughing farther and farther
toward the old country. Tapa Ron
had plenty to say.
Mama Rosa, too, sent frantic ra
dios every time she thought of It,
protesting against Hope's behavior:
asking where Hope had left her
ear, whether Hope had warm cloth'
tng with her, and Anally threaten
The Junior League baseball activ
ities of th Medford pot, American
Legion, have opened with Earle Davla
appointed chairman ol this year's
series by Poat Commander Wilson P.
Walt.
The tlrat meeting to start otf an
other eucceaaful season of the favorite
American sport will be held at the
Armory this evening at 8 o'clock.
Leaders from Easle Point, Jackson
ville. Phoenix, Talent. Central Point
and all other Interested sections are
expected to attend.

duced some real baaeball malarial last
year and an iven bettei line-up Is

ica to follow Hope across on tbt
next boat. But Goody didn't fol
low up her parents' outburst with
a single word, and In one way Hop
felt comforted.
Goody and she bad grown closer
In the last few years. It was a
triumph when Goody sent her own
prissy little wire telling Hope that
ahe wlsbed her luck, and would be
happy If Hop really won her love
at last.
But what was more to the point,
never once did Hope hear from
Rusty.
Meantime three days more on
ship-board bad brought things to
a most distressing pitch.
Dickey had shown up with a girl.
A very startling, vivid, husky-voiced
Jane with whom Dickey played deck
tennis, ahuffieboard, bid at the
ship's auction during the evenings,
and had at his table 'with Hlckey
and himself practically every meal.
The girl, so Hope Instantly made
her buslnees to learn, was the lead
ing Ingenue of one of Hlckey's late
musicals.
Every morning and every eve
ning Hlckey bowed distantly to
Hope. But never once was there
a glance of recognition In Dickey's
eyes.
The officials and attendants on
the ship had been most kind, atten
tive and lenient Certainly Hope
had caused them plenty of difficul
ties and much speculation. In fact,
the purser had personally wired her
father to get an Identification upon
the captain's request.
But a new difficulty presented It
self In the Bhape of Judy and her
fairly ruined honeymoon.
"Look, Hope," protested Judy,
close to tears. "I wish yon'd quit
toting Tom around like yon do.
After all some people on this ship
know us and know you. It looks
a It you're cutting me out on my
own honeymoon!"
"But, Judy, you said "
"Now, please don't try to get
around me. I'm ted up, Hope. And
Tom's fed up. He's terribly fed
up!"
"Thanks for the compliment!"
"Listen, we don't mind being
sports and helping yon pull a stunt.
But It isn't working. Anyone can
see that You're never going to get
a rise out of Dickey. You're making
a fool of yourself, and It's high time
you stopped. It was a clever Idea.
Oh, no end. But damned uncomfort
able for me. It you don't mind my
saying so."
''I can Imagine. I guess I'm no
go anyway you look at It."
"Oh, forget It Hope! You should
have forgotten It years ago. The
man Is clean gone on that actress."
Misty-eyed, Hope turned toward
the port-bole of ber stateroom, her
back to Judy.
"Listen, Hope darling," Judy's
voice softened. "I'll go through
with helping you. Honest I will!
If you'll only let me have my hus
band for this one afternoon!"
Still Hope didn't turn.
"He's so rotten sick of playing
bridge," added Judy with a pathetle
wall.
"He's a rotten player," mumbled
Hope orossly. "Go ahead! Go to
your sappy old husband! I wouldn't
have a crooner for a booby prize!"
"Is that so!" flared Judy angrily.
"Well, I'd hate to tell you what I
think of your big tanned and
scarred hero!"
And Judy left Hope's cabin, and
banged the door to punctuate her
statement
So Hope only sat against the port
hole weeping herself red-eyed, with
Sassy pawing her hair aa comfort
It was Impossible to sleep. Im
possible to stay in that stateroom.
Out on one of the farthest edges of
the uppermost see-sawing deck,
Hope wrapped herself In blankets
like a cocoon, and let tb salt sea
spray and the salt tears fight It out
between them.
It was nearly three a. m. when
at last she stiffly got to her feet
and headed against the wind to the
shelter of her cabin.
Millie, as might be expected, was
awake when she entered.
"Something too grand for words
happened to yon tonight," mur
mured the schoolteacher. "You won
the auction!"
"I dial Honest?"
"I was Just right there, when they
called It out Only It was under
the name of Mrs. Thomas Post, and
your friend Judy explained that
you had uked her to play tor you
Just to turn your luck."
Hope scowled. So Judy had re
belled and had announced wide
spread that even a bride has her
pride, yes? Well, who could blame
her? And who cared?
