PXGE TWELVE MEDFORD MXIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1932. Nothing Venture 1 - by Patricia IT .,.,., BYSOPBIH! Out ot a whirl ot murderoue attempts on hie life, of conflicting tug ot hie emotion, Jervie weare emergee with but one clear impression. wife Xan, whom he had thought mar ried him coldly, to advance her poaitlon. had eome deeper reaeon. wae it tovet Ue it awakened in the middle or the night to find her terriHed by a gritty dream that he it dead. Chapter It A VOICE FROM THE DARK JERVIS wished h bad sot asked Nan whether she would mind It he were dead. When he had been wishing It with all his heart for quite long time, she drew a sobbing breath. "I'm sorry." he said. "I'm not used to anyone minding about me." ' She looked round at him then with something in her eyes which blotted out everything that he had thought or believed about her be fore this nig St. It was something quite Impossible to mistake. There were tears In her eyes, and behind the tears a shining. He got up In confusion, went over to the bed table, poured out a glass of water, and came back with it In bis hand. Nan took It gratefully, but her hand shook. He found him self guiding It She drank about half the water and gave him the "I'm all right glass again. When she spoke, tt was In her natural vole. "Thank you, Jervls." Then, after the slightest pause, "I'm all right now It's gone." She threw out her band with a childish gesture. "Oh, Isn't It lovely when bad dreams go Hk that!" "It's quite gone!" Yes." ''Can you go to sleep again!" 6h said, "I'll read." Have you got a bookT" "Yea." H stood there, not knowing quite what to do. He felt as If he bad never seen her before, and yet as If he had known her all his lite. He said, "Nan," In a tone which she had not beard from him be fore. She pushed hack her balr and smiled at him. "I'm really all right now. I'm dreadfully sorry I woke you." "Would you like me to leav the loor open!" "Oh, no I've got Bran." A perfectly absurd anger flared up In him. She bad Bran, had he? Well, let her have Branl He certainly hadn't the slightest de sire to force himself upon her. He frowned, said go1r.ight In a stiffly polite voice, and strode to the door. As he shut It he caught a glimpse of her settling herself against her pillows. His room seemed very dark. He went over to the bed and sat on the rigs ot It watching the line of light nnder the door through which he bad just come, ills spirit ot anger died. He waa moved and puislcd. He could not remember anyone having cried tor him before. It moved him a good deal that Nan ahould have cried tor him this af ternoon. Sbe had sat on the dusty grass and cried because sbe thought be was dead. It was an astonish ing thing to have happened; and 10 Ti PHOENIX, Sept. SO. (Special.) Phoenix Orange met Tuesday with good attendance. The program con sisted of a song by Patricia Furry, a talk on the oleo referendum by Har ry Ward' of the Eagle Point Orange, and articles written by members of the two "newspaper staffs" appoint ed at the former meeting of the Orange.

No charge for admission will be made. JTba program ot Uie evealuf and to yet It was less astonishing and less moving than the look which she had given him just now. When he thought about that look of Nan's, a sort ot piercing sweet uess and warmth penetrated to the very depths ot his consciousness. He was quite unable to think clearly about It, or. indeed, to think about it at alL The whole experience was as yet a matter ot feeling: It had not been transmuted Into thought He sat quite still for a long time, watching the line of light beneath the door. When at last It went out, be got up, stretched himself, and got Into bed. He lay on bla right side and watched the moonlight The moon was not full, and the light was pale, not bright The window framed It and one black bough ot tbe tall cypres at the corner of the house; the bough crossed the window Ilk an out stretched arm. He lay looking at It and all the time that warm sweetness pierced deeper and deeper. He began to slip away from the moonlight Into a more enchanted place. There was a dream waiting for him a warm, sweet dream, full ot color and light. But when he had almost reached It something pulled him back. He woke with on of those vio lent starts which eome on the edge of sleep. In a moment he was out now," she said. of bed and at the door; between bis room and Nan's. It opened on a dark room peaceful with sleep. He said ber nam under his breath, but there was no answer except the taint thudding of Bran's tall upon the floor. He frowned In the dark and shut the door. As he turned and stood for a mo ment facing the window, something cam through it and hit the floor with a aharp rap. It sounded Ilk a pebble. He went to th window and looked out It faced towards the drive. Tbe curving belt ot trees took the moon. The sky was lumi nous over them, the moon itself un seen. The shadow ot the cypress was black upon the house, Th blackness made a pool beneath him as he leaned out Out ot the blackness someone said: "Jervls" Jervls stared Into the black pool of sbadvw nnder th window. In stead of waking up he must have walked straight into the maddest dream. He said: "Who's thereT" "Jorvls " aald Rosamund Ca rew. It was Itosamund of course It was Rosamund. But It could only be Rosamund In on of thoss dreams which hurry you from on absurdity to another. "Rosamund I" ha said. "For th Lord's saka dont go shouting out my name like that!" "I wasn't shouting." He could Just see her now or rather, not her, but a shadow that moved, amongst other shadows that were still. "Jervls I'm in a hole. Can yon com down!"
