CLIVE'S NIGHT RIDE
PROM the hotel behind blm Cllve
eould hear the thump o( dance
muslo. From the verandah where
he aat alone In the blue August
dusk, he eould aee dim ahapea of
girls escaping with their eacorta. In
the rose-garden below the terrace,
englnea began to sputter. With grop
ing headlights automobiles shot out,
gathered apeed and vanished.
He could guesa tbelr errands.
In Imagination he followed them.
A, girl and a man who had not
known each other till within the
paat tew hours, met accidentally on
the bathing-beach or golf-course,
had taken a momentary ahlne to
Santa." Then had come the cabled
news that ahe was returning and
an invitation, amounting to a com
mand, that he ahould apend the
first week-end at her parents'
country-house. ,
He wired her his challenge In
mid-ocean.
"Delighted you've finished sam
pling." Injured silence had followed.
Were he to aue for reinstatement.
he would become her dog-Fido. In
a desperate mood of hesitancy the
day she had landed he had driven
to Cape Cod, there to spend bla two
weeks' vacation.
How long could he stand the sus
pense? That was the question.
Memories tender, absurd, entranc
ing were undermining bis resolu
tion. T'ue first time he had kissed
her. She had been sixteen and be
twenty. Tbe difference in age bad
made blm ashamed of bla cradle-
snatching.
The temptation had occurred as
he was escoi ling her from a Christ
mas part? Suddenly he had baited
'.hs car and scarcely knowing what
he was doing, had caught ber to
blm. -"'a bad expected her to shrink
from nim. Instead, pressing cleser,
he had murmured, "0, lovely!"
That waa Santa. She perauaded
every man that be was her one and
only.
Cllve was emerging from his corner when ball-hop accosted him.
tech other. Tomorrow they would
be paired differently.
What did they gain by experi
menting? When tbe real thing ar
rived, it would find them with blunt
ed appetites. On tbe other hand
there waa the bird In the hand
theory. One might aleep through
life aavlng up tor a great event that
lever happened.
Suddenly he canght a glimpse
it himself. Could Santa, see him
tow, how ahe would laugh I
"Cllve, darling, you are a dumb
bell." Because he was aavlng himself
tor her, he was acting like a monk.
Bhe wouldn't thank him tor his
loyalty; ahe would treat it as an
Infirmity.
"Time enough tor that when
you're married," ahe would tell him'.
Her name apelt magic; she was
aptly called. Her face waa Instinct
with longing, yet longing that waa
Impersonal. Her dark bobbed head
waa boyish; her haiel eyes melting.
She had a trick ot meekness, very
appealing, In the way she employed
her capable hands. She created the
Impression ot noedlng protection.
It waa out ot the question that
any girl should live up to her ap
pearance. She didn't attempt to;
he was outrageously modern. Wel
coming all and sundry with gay Im
partiality, she led them as a flock
beside the still waters ot her gentle
ness In the pathetlo belief that she
could restore their souls. Cllve's
soul waa an example ot her restor
ing. Since her mother had whisked
her off to Europe, bla days had been
a protracted torment On shipboard,
In a train, through a chance meet
ing at aome hotel aha might pick
up a more eligible Apollo. Every
detail ot her conduct and attire
would be planned to advertlae that
she" was accessible. Each time the
plcklng-up process had been ac
complished her mother, having shed
an aroma of respectability, would
discreetly vanish.
The correctness of Cllve's prophe
cy had been reflected In ber corre
spondence, which had conslated In
the main ot picture-postcards signed
hurriedly, "With all my heart-
He was emerging from bis cornel
when a bell-bop accosted blm,
"A telegram. Been paging yoi
everywhere."
Cllve's heart beat in bis throat
He slit tbe envelope: "Must see
you. Important Santa."
Springing to action, be rushed
Into tbe hotel. At the desk ha
learned that by the earliest train
he couldn't reach New York much
before tbe next evening. His short
est means of travel waa to drive, as
be had come, by automobile.
From being old and done (old and
done at 22!) he had Joined the
ranks ot the young and gallant Ho
caat about for parallels to the
grandeur ot his passion.
His choice fastened on Gaston
de Folx, the greatest general in
Renalssanco Europe, dead and
burled at twenty three, his fame
accomplished, who at the siege of
some Italian town (waa It Brescia?)
when walls w6re slippery with blood
and men were faltering, had bound
bis right arm to his aide with his
lady'a acart and led the assault
carrying his sword In his lott hand
to prove 0, splendid example!
how Invincible youth Is when it has
been enslaved by a woman.
Santa'a genlua for extracting pro
posals was forgotten, together with
the many times when she had al
most engaged herself to other
chumps.
For the past week he had been
analyzing with elderly clearness the
phenomenon ot Infatuation: how
a man could be such an asa as to
get that way, to at,.y that way and.
Infinitely more complicated, why It
waa that when his dreams bad been
realised, be frequently and dis
astrously recovered.
Under the spell of speed and
moonlight auch enqulrlea lookod
thin blooded. Santa's telegram could
have but one Interpretation.
And so he drove through the
night tearing the silence of de
serted country roads Into shreds,
desecrating with his motor's high
whine little New England Tillages.
, He waa apeedlng to answer San
ta'a call!

In Medford for the southern Oregon
term of federal court, has expressed
his desire to leave Medford, as a
result of experiencing much trouble
with hla pipe.

arriving here. It became necessary
at one time to borrow a pipe be

Cal Wells. But the climax was
reached yesterday when he got a
firm grip on hla pipe, and placed
It In his coat pocket for safe keep
ing. In his desire to keep from losing
the straying stick, he put the pipe
away before removing the burning
tobacco. As a result, there la no
lining In the Bill Oraham coat pocket
today. The only Joyful thing he
can find In the Incident, he reported,
was that the box of matches In the
same pocket were not damaged by
the fire.
