Back in New York cllve' e potto it ohaken by the knowledge that hit employer feelt a ttttle eorry lor him, and by the euriotlty of a friend of Banta'e, whom they met at the door of their hotel, about him and Santa. Eut Banta i lull cf plane to pet eettledn an apartment of her awn chooting. Chapter 10 A MARRIAGE CONTRAST SHE tu awakened if the sound of bath-water. Peeping above the iheeta, be was daisied by a flood of aprlng sunihlne. Lapping the wlndow-alll atretched ao abyss of blue. She hadn't felt 10 light hearted ilnce nursery days when, as now, she had had someone to taie care of her. Cllve tiptoed from the bathroom tousle-beaded, his every movement eloquent of his anxiety not to dls . turb her. She slipped back on the pillows, feigning to dote for the lux ury of watching bis consideration for her. When he was fully dressed, he telephoned In a lowered voice tc have his breakfast sent up. She Contrived a yawn, j "Yon may have mine sent np, too." I "Awake t I hope I didn't ! "What was the Idea?" she chaffed him. "Were yon planning to sneak on without kissing me good-morn ing 7" "Everything I've heard 07 read bont girls Is sheer rubbish," said .Cllve.. "What have you heard and read!' Breakfast arrived. He drew the table to the bedside and waited on her, keeping track of the time by occasional glances at his wrist- watch. Till he'd married he'd always heard, he confessed, that even tbe best of Santa's sex were double. .erossers. Almost every novel taught (that love was madness and mar riage a trap. Lies of that sortl "And what have you found, dar ling?" Santa cuddled her cbeok against her velvety white shoulder. - "It you could see yourself!" he poke earnestly. "You're the most perfeot thing, Santa, I have to tell foa. You may think I'm piling up p. lot of words. But here's what you are to me: you're the road to .: peaven. ! Re laughed self-consciously un- er her tender scrutiny. ' "I (eel so humble, Santa so dull nd ordinary. When I'm away from ' you, I want to run back because It doesn't seem true that you could have given yourself to me. Why did you, Santa?" "Idiotic of me, wasn't It?" "Well, here's what I'm trying to say, darling. I don't know what will make you happy. Whatever It la, I'll get It for you. All my life I'll serve you. But at first, till I Ket forward, you must have pa tience." Alone la the still room, she ac cused herself of play-acting. Being married was normal to her; to him It was all so amatlng. How could a girl be married for tbe first time twice? That was the only miracle that would satisfy him. She watched, as an amused spectator, her attempts to play the timid pride. It he were sensible Instead of Ig noring her experience, he ought to nse It as a chart to the dangers to avoid, To have to appear to agree that they -were the exception to mat ad couples cast a shadow of Insin cerity over all their relations. She attired herself slowly. It eras a relief not to be watched. On one aide of his nature Cllve was a mall child, Intrusively curious. She'd forgotten that any man could be so Innocent She dreaded the day when ahe would disappoint him. "Cheer up, little road to heaven," he addressed herself In the mirror. "The first man thought too lightly of you; tbe second thinks too high ly. One drsgged you down; the other drags you up, Oosb, you're hard to please!" Then applying a final touch of lipstick, "You certain ly look ravishing." She apent the rest of the day climbing stalra and mounting in elevators. Toward lata afternoon, in Central Park West, she found the nest for which she waa search ing. ... "I don't think I need consult my husband," she told the agent. "I'll close the deal now and pay you a deposit." The man examined her check. "It's good," ahe smiled disarm Jngly. "And how about references, Madam?" "I'm doing this as surprise for OF RECREATION WILL GET A dramatloa school for leaden and directors of rural recreation and dra matics will be given at the Central Point Orange hall, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, November a and 10, and Mdri afternoon, November 11. Mrs. Mabel O. Mack, home dem onstration agent announced today.- The dramatics school will Includs work on play selection, casting, di recting, acting, atage setting and makeup, and will be given by D. Pal me Young, professor of public speak ing and dramatics, Oregon State col lege. Mr, Young has had charge of the my husband. If you looked up my references now " "You're newly married. Madam V She beamed on him. "On our honeymoon. How did you guess?" Then, gathering cour age, "My husband works In New York. Our wedding presents and ev erything are still In Chicago. You won't mind, will you, If I send for them and get the furniture settled In before well, before I Introduce you to my husband?" Santa had tasted forbidden fruit: she returned to face Cllve aglow with this bidden knowledge. She was loving him In her own way which waa a wiser way than bis, she was sure. If she couldn't sprout wings and wear tbe anow-whlte muslin of an angel, ahe could at least put a roof over his head. She owed blm so much. At the hotel-desk when she In quired for the key to her room, she was Informed that her husband had already taken It Cllve opened to her tap. "Darling, you look glorious. What on earth have yon been doing? I've been watting for you an hour." As he unfastened the fur from about her neck and relieved her of her Jacket, ahe assumed her most artless and entranced expression. "Been walking through th aprlng. Been telling myself I'm alive. Been telling myself the most wonderful fairy-tale that you'ri my husband." She hummed to herself as h went on his knees before her. She hummed to prevent herself from crying. Her heart was swelling. What had she done to deserve such devotion this knightly figure ml Isterlng to ber? She was a hard boiled little bit of fluff whom God had created beautiful. Tomorrow ahe would wire to Chicago for the furniture. What fun she'd have ar ranging a home for blml Sbe read everything that was passing In his mind. She wouldn't have found him absurd if she could have brought to their union an equal freshness. "Sit here," she commanded. When be bad occupied ber chair, she plumped herself In his lap with the ooyness of a flapper. "You think I'm cold. I'm not I'm astounded. You're so different from other husbands." ' The old subject Dlckr. nonninr up like a Jack-in-the-box! "You're afraid of something." he accused her. She pressed his cheek. "Of ridicule. I couldn't bear that anyone should laugh at us. You have the oddest power over me." How odd?" 'Away from you I'm business like. Tbe moment I'm with you. I long to be foolish." 'But you're ashamed of being. foolish even when we're alone." She bid ber face In the hollow of his neck. "Ashamed that the past ever hap pened." The evening following, on his re turn from the office, Cllve paused at the hotel news-stand to buy a pa per. A bell-boy touched bis arm, Informing blm that a lady was wait ing to see him. He found her dis creetly parked behind a collection of palms. Her face seemed familiar, but In her atreet-olothes he failed to recognlce her. She addressed him indignantly. "It's a scandal what you're doing to Santa." He was taken aback. "And pray, what am I doing?" Cllve'a tone became Icy. "But haven't you any manhood? When her husband finds out " "I get you." Cllve laughed to conceal his annoyance. "But I think you owe me an explanation." "You're right Two nights ago I'd been dining and dancing In the restaurant downstairs " Cllve cut bar short "Now I remember you. You're the girl who held the revolving door against ua aa you were passing out You mean well that's why I trou ble to talk to you. Santa divorced Dak; Dak didn't divorce her. So I wasn't the corespondent I have every right to be with her." "By Golly I" In her relist the girl olutched his arm. "Are yon telling me you're married?" "Scarcely anybody knows It Even ber parents don't. It you're anx ious to make mischief " "Don't be an Idiot If there's nothing phony, why not publish your secret?" Suddenly Cllve glimpsed an ally. "Come upstairs and say that to Santa." The girl twisted on her heel. "I've had enough of playing the good Samaritan."

"I am tremendously happy over the victory," Senator Stelwer told ths Associated Press. "I construe the favorable vote as Indicating the peo ple's spproval of my activities on behalf of the state and the nation.'! Stelwer's victory means that Ore gon probably will be the only Pa cific coast state represented In con gress during the Roosevelt adminis tration by two Republican senators, himself and Senator Charles L. Mc Nary. One of his strongest campaign points was developed around his part In obtaining a tariff on lumber Im ports which he and the Republican party Insisted had proven of Im mense value to the Pacific Northwest lumber Industry, limiting Imports irom csnada.
