CONTRABAND
KITTY bad hoped Oar would
coma straight here. And he
sadn'L She put stock away lowly.
She wai the last to leare the
building. She stood tor a moment
sutslde, Irresolute, letting the home
rolng crowds Jostle her. It teemed
or a moment not possible to (to
sack to a lonely evening In Ketchum
Street And suddenly ab wr.s
aware of a man standing it the
curb, bit back to her, a figure to
dearly familiar that she gave a
quick cry: "Gar!"
She ran to him, calling again. He
wheeled about She saw hit face
set, dark with a scowl, but she did
not heed it, nor the passert-by,
"Oart Oh, Gar!"
"So Tubby uatn't lying!"
"Oar, let's go wbere we can talk."
She caught the lapel of his coat,
clung to It.
"I'll say we're got something to
talk about. Kit! Hy . . ." He
hailed a cruising toxical). He opened
the door and stood stiffly aside to
permit ber to enter.
"Wbere to, sir?" asked the driver.
"Oh, anywhere! Keep going until
I tell you to atop," Oar answered
aavagely. Then he atepped in and
alammed the door shut behind him
"Now!" he growled, turning to
Kitty. But her face, lifted to bis,
was to alight with love, to warm
with longing, that hit anger melted.
He caught her roughly to him, hold
ing her close; he kissed her.
"Ob. Kit how I've wanted you."
He felt tears against bla face and
he kissed them from her cheek and
her eyes.
"Oar I've missed you!"
That waa all that they could tay,
then. ,
But after a little Oar roused.
."You kid, you ought to be
tpanked. What I've gone through
banging on to myself until you got
over your tulks. How long hare
you been In town, anyway?
"I dldn'tfgo to Brldgewater, Oar.
Pound knew"
"But It was Pound told the
mother than you'd gone to your
folks!" Kitty drew back a little
from hla arms. "Pound told your
mother ttiatt" A growing certain
ty brought little frown between
her browt. Pound had not told
Mrs. Frew that It waa what the
wanted Oar to believe.
"We'll let the family go on think
ing you've been in Brldgewater all
this time. I don't Intend the motber
shall know what you've been up to.
Tubby'U keep hit month shut. I
told htm to. But where have you
been ataylng, Kit?" ' i
"On Ketchum Street, with
friend of Davld'a. I went to David
that nlgbt. Oar. You tee I'd mot
.him once when he came to have
.dinner with his father. He waa
nice"
"Nice!" Oar exploded. Then,
auspiciously: "How come you
didn't speak of It at the time, Kit?
Tbat'a darn funny."
"I couldn't give blm away. I
mean, hla practice of coming to the
house to see his father when the
rest of the family were away.".
"The devil he did!" He tightened
hla hold of her, masterfully. "It
makes me sick. Kit thinking tot you
going 'round with any of David's
rotten crew. But you're through
with that whole business, let me
tell you." .
"What do you mean, OarT
"Mean? I'm going to take care
of you. You're just a silly little
kid from the country. You don't
know anything about the big world.
You're a precious tweet" He
pushed off her hat to bury hla face
In her hair. Hit Hps moved down
to prest hard against hers. "I'm
going to take you home."
Hla ardor waa burning through
her like a flame; hla voice, hla en
dearment!, the remembered clean
smell of hla hair, his bands, bis
cheek close to hers tilled her starved
heart with a passion of adorlni.
And even while she protested: "Oh,
Oar, not there not to your
mother's," she clung to him more
tightly. "Oar, darling, I'm sorry
about that last night I was angry
I didn't mean everything but I
did mean" She had to struggle
against the longing to surrender
wholly "Oar, we'll never be really
happy until"
She closed ber eyea that the
might not see bla face. It he were
angry, now, aha could not bear It
the must die
AGAINST FIREBUG
KUOENE, Ore., May . I API Re
ported threats of an attack on the
night watchman at the Booth Kelly
lumber mill at Bprlnsfleld and of
plaits to burn the mill, resulted In
etaM police stationing an officer at
the mill last unit aa an extra pre
cautionary measure. Police said to-
dsy there waa no attempt to damage
the plant.
A number of Incendiary fires
throughout the state, striking at In
dustrial planta, has resulted In more
than usual precaution to protect the
propertied. Eugene had two aucn
llrrs, and arsonists caused damage
at Medfotn. Hood River. Klamath

her.
"Funny little kid. Old Sweet!
Have It your way! I'll take tbal
Job with Dad tomorrow, it It's go
ing to make you happy. Now, la
there anything more to be said?"
"Yes!" She laughed softly. She
turned a radiant, flushing face to
his.
"You haven't told me that you
love me."
"I love you, and more tomorrow
and more the next day "
"David!" Kitty balled David as
be was turning away from the
Timet building several dayt later.
- "I believe you saw me ai d that
you were going to go on without
speaking to me," she accused.
"What nonsense I'm getting
near-sighted. Or maybe It's that
you look a little dauling "
"And then I'll Bay nonsense to
that And I'm not going to let you
go now, either.". She put her band
through bit arm with a little Im
pelling gesture, lifting a glowing,
soft face to his. "Let's have tea
aomewhere. Left go back to nur
apartment"
. "Not there," David answered
quickly. "But I'll go anywhere else.
What's the matter with that
place?" He nodded toward a chintz
bung window.
"Perfect!"
She settled herself comfortably
In her chair, regarding David with
affectionate Interest "It's been per
fect aget tlnce I've teen you. Did
going out to your v little bouse
square things up tor you?"
He flashed her a quizzical, half
ironical glance. "It disposed of It,"
he anawered shortly.
"David. I've missed you!"
He tbook hit head. "You can't
expect me to believe that Kitty,
much as I'd like to." He surveyed
her, affecting astonishment undei
which Kitty grew more radiant
"You are dazzling," he repeated.
"Silly! . It's only a new hat and
a new coat, and Inexpensive onea,
at that But I don't wonder they
make you stare you've only seen
me in those disgracefully shabby
things I wore on Ketchum Street
I suppose I do look like a different
creature."
"With a measure of marital bltsi
to finish yie miracle?"
He had not kept a mocking edge
from hla voice. Kltty't flush deep
ened. "I am happy, David. And I've
wanted you to know. That's why
el was so glad when I ran Into you.
Everything's going beautifully.
Oar's working for hla father and
he likes it We've leased a fur
nished apartment at the Tudor
Arms until we're enough ahead to
take a house somewhere.."
"And you've mads a truce with
Mrs. Frew?" '
Kitty hesitated, disconcerted foi
a moment by David's Implication.
"Something Ilka that She't very
charming when we meet She's fai
too busy to come to aee us the'i
boon over only once. And I don't
think of her any more than I hav
to. Oar doesn't know what I over
heard that day, you aee. Then
didn't seem any use In telling him.
I can forget It now." She epoks
triumphantly.
But Davld't expression made her
triumph seem empty.
He wasn't drinking bis tea; ha
pushed the little cakea he had or
dered away from him. Kitty no
ticed that he was thinner, restless.
that bis clothes looked shabbier.
"David, left talk about you.
How't the book going?"
He ' thrugged hit shoulders.
Static. If it starts any action it'll
be toward a waste basket."
David! . What does Dorcas say
to that?"
"I haven't seen Dorcas lately."
She protested again.
"How about yourself? The last
time I did see her she asked me
what I'd heard of you."
He had countered Kitty effectual
ly. She had seen Dorcaa only once
since she bad left Ketcbum Street
'My housekeeping keeps me very
busy,'' she answered, a little prim
ly, ' "I love It David. And eve
nings Oar always wants to do some
thing" But her defense sounded
lame In ber own ears; she stopped,
a little confused.
"And we're contraband, any
way," David finished.
Kltty'a face sobered. She gav
an impatient little shake of bet
head. "You alwayt put things so
dlssgreeably, Davldl Just when
everythlng'a particularly nice you
say something to spoil It la It that
you like to offend me? It to I'll
go straight away and aava you the
bother."
