IfEDFOHD TRIBTJN"E, MEDFOUT), OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1932. A PATH WARADISE .1, CWy BYavrata: Alter a patnfut session, Clivm and Banta rtach a point o equilibrium 'n thttr shifting matrimonial situation. Cliye has taunted his wife with her feeling tor her first husband; but in tht morning he realizes that in place of being masterul, he merely has been rude. Chapter 86 A CLEVER GIRL A ND so mors bossing." Sutt barricaded her lips with the heat. "But darling, you're promised that," ald Cllve. "You've been awfully bossy," she repulsed him, "0, beg pardon you're not refer ring to yoar own shortcomings." "Well, haven't your Her eyes twinkled. "Bossed you? I certainly haven't. The shoe's been on the other foot If I can't salute your llpa, your nose will do." She forestalled him by pulling the sheet higher. "Ton can have my Hps when you've promised." "Promised what?" "Not to boss me." "I never have but I promise." The sheet was lowered. "Toung devil!" He caught her to Aim. He left the apartment grinning. Her ruse had been the revenge of a little capricious girl. The chill November air was brac ing. He was In a mood to count his blessings. A wife who wor shipped him. An employer who at one throw had more than doubled his salary. Scarcely more than six months ago he'd been that most des olate of creatures, a bachelor. Marriage to him had been a vision en the road to Damascus, revealing life la Us fulness. He'd lacked faith In his ability till Santa had Inspired him. Merely to be her husband had boosted his stock. He was sitting on top of the woV .4. . Peaks of tri umph! In the Subway, hurtling down town, he asked himself what had been the reason for his soreness. It boiled down to this: that, Santa had iforned him to reach up to a stand ard which 4&d been a prophecy. She'd presumed his success. Any how, misunderstandings were things of the past. His straight talking oven Si It wasn't quite merited, had 'cleared the atmosphere. ' Seated In his office, occupied with facts, a doubt cast a shadow. Cleared the atmosphere! Had It? Not till lunch did he permit himself the leisure to examine, General Foch had achieved victory by a logic wholly feminine: "A battle won Is a battle which we will not acknowledge to be lost." Santa had made the same discovery. In the moment of defeat, she had snatohed back all her trenches by making him promise never again to be what he never had been bossy. With aroused suspicion that amounted almost to alarm, he ran over the progress of their quarrel. Santa had retreated, conceding t everything till she had brought blm to a halt She'd employed the same tactics at Stratford. She'd been will ing to agree with him till his argu ments had grown stale through rep etition; then she went her own way, 'dragging him at her chariot ( It became certain that she con templated no reforms. She still in tended that he should roost In the jhome of her choosing, sit on her chairs, watched by all the gods who had witnessed her first marriage. A woman who never acknowledged defeat, never acknowledged the. she had erred. Were husbands always In the wrong, he wondered. And yet she seemed to be una ware of her obstinacy. Her sub tlety was Instinctive. Last night ie'd missed his great chance. He hould have framed a program be fore accepting her submission. If he were to reopen the debate It the face it reconciliation, It would be difficult to keep conversation on a friendly basis. On the other hand, If he didn't, he might as well not have spoken; affairs would drift placidly into their old channels. With the halt-formed Idea of im pressing her with his Importance, he stuffed a stack of papers Into his satchel. "What on earth have you there!" he challenged. "Work, darling." "What a shame!" "No, Banta, A salary of my else requires earning. Give me a pencil and paper. Divide the days of the year Into twelve thousand. I'm earn ing Just short of thirty-three dollars z WIPED FROM BOOK PHOENIX, Arte.. Nov. 30. (AP) From bis sick bed iq a hospital here, Oovernor Oeorge W.'p. Hunt Monday declared Arlsons's prohibition law null and void. The 73-year-old executive signed the order without ceremony end car ried out the mandate of the electo rate st the November 8 general elec tion.

It's up to me to prove worthy." "Which means working the old head over time In the evenings?" " 'Fraid so at least at the start" "Can't I help?" He was touched. "You can't typewrite and take shorthand." "Girls more dumb than I am can." "True." He took her face between his hands. "But they're trained dumb-bells. I've seen samples of your spelling. Besides " "Besides nothing." Her earnest ness Increased at bis refusal. "I'm turning over a new leaf. I'vt -ot shown sufficient Interest In you. I'm Intelligent". "You're better than Intelligent" He drew her to blm. "have you any Idea how few sweet girls there havs ever been In the world? Helen ot Troy, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Veil Owyn and now there's you. You're a work of art I wouldn't permit you to blunt your fingers banging a type writer. No, sir. At a pinch I'll hire." Over dinner i resumed her plea. "How would It suit you to be merely decorative? In a way that's what you were while you wore out ot employment. You didn't find ilfe so hot From the time you leave me In bed In the morning till you re turn, I fritter." "For instance?" "Washing my hair. Manicuring my nails. Getting Into mischief in shops." "But you have the housekeeping." "Don't be futile, Cllve. I tidy up our bedroom; the maid does the rest. I plan one meal. - Now If I were learning to typewrite all day I'd be doing something for you. I'd have a purpose. How long would It take to learn?" "I don't want you to learn." "Being bossy again." She shook a finger. He tried to change the subject "Talking about being bossy, do you remember the agreement we made last night, that everything's going to be not me or you, but us? Now that I'm earning an Income large enough to provide for both of us" "You've only been earning It a day." 3he winked at him. "Now that I am," he refused to be diverted, "how about moving out from this shelf In a cupboard and renting a real home? By a real home I mean a place where people don't live beneath you and above you. Where you can make a noise without receiving complaints from the Janitor. Where you can be 111 without being flung into the streets like carrion. I mean the kind ot place where you can have an open fire, your own cellar and your own coal." "It sounds sweet," she beamed, "especially the cellar. Have you some particular place In mind?" "Not at the moment." "And keep chickens, I suppose, and burn our own garbage? But where, Cllve? I'm all excited." "There's heaps ot country round New York." She feigned disappointment "Well, when you've decided, let me know. But about my learning to type " "Heavens, Santa! Can't you con centrate?" "That's what I am doing, darling, We were speaking of typing first" "But to possess a home Is more Important." He struggled to hold her attention, "A home would keep you fully occupied. We'd have a garden. There'd be seeds tc plant" "And wouldn't I look cute," she laughed, "pushing a lawnmower?" The telephone tinkied before hs could retort . "I'll answer It." She sprang up. As she passed, she patted his head. "Old funny!" Left to himself, he stared at tha table-cloth. The old Situation wai beginning. Despite their oven whelming affection, It seemed Im possible for them to see eye to eye. She complained that her life was artificial. He suggested a means ot making It natural. She hardly listened. Was It that she didn't credit him with a grain ot common sense? She was calling. He found her at the telephone, one hand muffling the mouthpiece. At sound of his ap proach she turned breathlessly.
