MEDFOED irXlC TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1932. Nothing Venture by Patricia Wentworlh KYKOPHtl!

He was to bs there (or six months and then return to take up the Jun ior partnership which Cynthia's ten thousand dollars had made possible. Nan went to the boat to see them off. She was dutifully kissed by Frank, and rather perfunctorily by Cynthia. She walked back to a room strewn with all the odds and ends which had not been worth taking to Australia, with the feeling that she had come to a dead end. She was married, and Cynthia was married. She bad lost her Job. Cynthia didn't want her any more. Jorvls Weare certainly didn't want bar. She tidied the room, and then sat down to face the future. She had bees married six days, but It was the first time she had really had East Sixty-fifth street It was, of course, very Improbable that she would learn anything by doing so. It was Irrational to expect to learn anything. It was Irrational to want to see Rosamund. She walked through Blxty-flftb street. The door of No. 29 was shut, and the blinds were down. When Nan had' walked to the end of the block, she turned back. This made it necessary for her to pass No. 19 again. She stood still and looked at the house. Somothlng came to ber from It she didn't know quite what it was, but she didn't like 1U As this thought went through her mind, she saw a taxi coming up the street towards ber. The taxi stopped in front of No. 29. Without con scious plan, she whisked round be hind the taxi and was In time to see Rosamund Carew emerge and mount the steps which led to No. 29. Nan received an impression of height, grace, and brilliance. Rosa mund went up the steps, and a msn got out of the car and followed her. Nan leaned sideways against tbe taxi. She tried to step back, and the pavement lifted under her foot The man was Robert Leonard. After ten years, she was Just as sure of that as she was that when she had seen him last be had Just struck down Jervis Wears and left blm to drown. Nan saw Rosamund find a man go up the lisps. The man was Robert Leonard I time to think. To get Cynthia mar ried, to buy Cynthia's outfit, and to get her off by the same boat as Frank, had taken every bit ot her thought and time and energy. It was characteristic ot Cynthia that he bad not even asked what Nan was going to do. For the moment her consciousness was so saturated with Frank as to be unable to take in anything else. She had gone as completely, 11 not as Irrevocably, Into another world as II she bad died. Soma day she would come back. Borne day she would probably want Nan again. But Nan was not able to derive a great deal ot comfort from this thought She had mother sd Cyntbla ever since Cynthia was born and she, a baby of throe, had cuddled the new baby In her small strong arms. When she had sat on the edge ot ' the bed for about half an hour she got up, put on her hat and went out It had become cloar to ber that she must have a Job and Jobs do not Just drop Into your lap; you have to go out and wrestle tor them. When she had been to three agen cies, she folt better. None ot the agencies bad anything to offer her, but one of them had asked whether she would cars to make a voyage to South America In charge ot chil dren. She toyed with the idea over a oup of tea. It was not without Us charm. Very, very badly she felt the need ot someone to look after. What she really wanted to do was to look after Jorvls Weare. She won dered It he was sleeping better. She wondered if he had loft town. She wondered who darned his socks. She wondered if he was very much y love with Rosamund Carew. She wondered where the tall, fair Rosa mund was now, In town, or in ths country? It would he quite easy to find out She knew Rosamund's ad dress well enough, since she had often taken lettors to her for Mr. Page. She paid her bill at ths tea-room and walked slowly along. It would be quit easy for bor to walk down Nan atood behind the car, waiting tor her strength to return. In an Instant, Robort Leonard ran down the steps. Nan saw htm for a mo ment In profile, and then the cat was between them. He wore a light folt bat and a grey suit His (ace was florid and tanned. He had a small fair cllppod moustache and a straight line ot light eyebrow. Tba eyelids beneath It had a crumpled look. Nan pressed close up against ths car. She did not want Robert Leon ard to see her. He must be a cousin ot Miss Carew's aha remembered that Rosamund was Rosamund Ve ronica Leonard there was nothing odd that be should be with her. And then Robert Leonard's voice: "It's tbe tour-fltteen all right You'll have to hurry. Let him come out of the terry house and get well away. He's sure to walk he has s craze for exeroise." "And supposln' he takes a taxi what then!" This was the driver, in a hoarse, throaty voice. "You must do tbe best yon can," said Leonard Impatiently. He turned away. The driver's voice followed him. "Look here, cap'n, I'm not so keen on this Job as I was." Leonard turned round again. "Take it or leave It!" he aald. "Twenty-five hundred dollar's twenty-live hundred dollars," said the hoarse, complaining voice. "Exactly." "And Jalt'e Jail." "Well," aald Leonard carelessly, "you needn't touch It If yon don't want to." "Oh, I'll do It," said the driver. "I'm a man o( my word, I am." Nan heard the whirr ot the starter. Her knees were shaking. The taxi began to move. It slipped away, leaving her shelterless. Robert Leonard, with his back U her, was mounting the steps ot Ne. 29. '.Copyright, LIppfneoNJ Nan makes a mad dash to savs Ufa, tomorrow, and meats an taftV portant psraon L NEWPORT, Aug. 30 (6pl.) A new and valuable market for fresh (lah has been reached by the Newport riah company, which Is now sending about 90.000 pounds ot fresh salmon Mtli week by refrigerator trucks to I Angeles. This contact was mads only recently and the truck line from this end Is owned by a Toledo man, but thia week t" U Angeles dealers sent one of their own trucks here for a load. Ths (lah are packed In boxes and loaded Into compartment with dry-Ice refrigeration and arrive In Los Angeles absolutely fresh. The trucks travel night and day, so the trip Is made In quick time. At pres ent low prices In Los Angeles people are enjoying Oregon salmon at a cost thay can well afford, snd New port Is finding aa outlet for a sur plus product, This company la slao sending large quantities of freah salmon snd hali but to Ban Frsnclaco, Oakland and Bacramento by same conveyance. RIO DR JANEIRO.

L OF SCHOOL SHOULD BE EYED With th opening of another school year cloee at hand, the Oregon State Board of Health U again reminding' parents of the state that children must be physically equipped to under, take this new work. The warning letter addressed to health officer In all towns In Ore gon reads In part: "Physical handicaps may lead to mental handicaps, with the result that such children will fall to make as rapid progress tn school as they other wise would. Due to diseased' ade noids or abscessed teeth common in. fectlons of childhood a child may fall to gain weight properly or per haps be 1U. At the time of Illness It may bs that nothing can be dons to correct the defect and It is necessary to wait until the child's physical con. dltlon is such that the correction can be made. "Having recovered from his illness, the parents often postpone the cor rection In the hope that there will not be a recurrence of Illness. The child thus goes along with his ab scessed teeth or diseased tonsils, per haps without any acute Illness, for some months until finally It la dis covered that he has developed a far more serious condition, such as heart trouble. "Sufficient time remains before the opening of school to correct minor defects so common in pre -school chil dren. If a child needs glasses, there Is plenty of time to have the eyes tested and time enough for tbe child to become accustomed to his glasses If action is taken at once. If the child needs his tonsils or adenoids re moved, there Is sufficient time to have It done and for the child to re gain his normal health and possibly to Improve before school begins. "When the child goes to school he la thrown In contact with, larger numbers of children than ever before and Is, therefore, more likely to be exposed to communicable diseases. No parent should even consider send ing a child to school without giving him protection against two serious communicable diseases, namely, diph theria and smallpox." BILLION SLASH IN BUDGET ADVOCATED WASHINGTON. Aug. 29. (AP) A billion dollar slash in the federal budget was advocated today by Bern ard M. Baruch as a prime essentlsl to business recovery.
