Clive teste himself die missed. .Chapter it SANTA GET8 A THRILL IN THE library across the ball, wiUcii wa Utile Dausr luau au alcove, Cllva raised tbe flap oil the desk and apread oil papera. The earnest murmur of voices pursued him. Wnat on earth could Sauta and Dicky lind to talk about? Ue listened. Worda were Indis tinguishable. Brittle laughter! Across the years the peculiar pitch of that laugh roused memories. It was Santa's hunting cry. She had Invariably employed It in her flap per days when ahe waa luring a fresh victim to tbe slaughter. Con versation droned again. Heavens, why be jealous! It waa aa much his fault aa here that ahe 'waa stuck there alone with Dak. Meanwhile Santa was experienc ing a new thrill In conducting a tete-a-tete with this forbidden man. Ue had known her every heart throb. It waa curious to reflect thai the had given herself to him to the strains of priestly music. Now to show him courtesy bor dered on liaison. Pulses of emotion were stirring. She gated at him with wtstfulneas, her lips saying one thing, her brain dramatizing another. A pause occurred. "It Is to laugh," he ventured. "Howl" "These hands that once caressed yon." "Dicky, be sane or I'll throw you put" He sighed sentimentally. "So many things to remind me. You. Myself. The furniture. Only the room la different." "ily husband la different. 'Don't yoa ever regret, Santa?" ''Not noticeably." "I do." "Don't believe you. I'm not the least bit Interested." He bent forward. "That's not true. You're having the time of your young life. If I'd been a former bean you'd be Inter ested; whereas you and 1 vowed ourselves to become one flesh. We'll remain a part of each other as long as we remain above ground." ' Hla blue eyes pierced, explored, exposed her. She could summon Cllva. It seemed wiser to handle the-situation without hla help. Lighting a cigarette, she became the composed young woman of fashion-plates. ; "You're an idiot," ahe blew a puff of smoke. "Don't 1 mean anything?" . "No more than last year's frock." Flinging hla bands abroad, In a superlatively foreign gesture, Dicky relaxed. "So the rose euil baa thorns I You're the kind of woman who never ought to have married. 1 won der whether Cllve baa found that outr "Ask him," Banta suggested. "No, 1 wouldn't rob him of his pathetlo faith In you. You'll do that" "Why to certain?" She gaped as though he were orystal-gaser. She hadn't the least respect for any of his opinions, yet hla pretensions to be able to read her fortune fascinated. "Because you're no mystery to me, my dear." She was startled to bear him em ploy that familiar form of address. It gave her the sensation that she was back In Chicago. "Yoa see. I lived with yon, quar relled with you, loved you for a year," he continued. "It waa the quarrelling that taught me so much. To pretend that we bave retlcen eles Is lunacy, I know you from every angle." "Then let's scrap retloenclee." She flicked ber ash. "Portrait of wife by her divorced husband I Shoot" "I'm not vindictive." He hesi tated. "Tbat'a all right You're going to hurt me. I don't mind If you can teach me which of my taulta to avoid. 1 fooled myself that I gave yon everything, just as I'm fooling myself that I lire Cllve everything. C'llre's an Idealist He'll never be content with less. I may be starving him "You are. If yon weren't, yon wouldn't have said It" "How do yon know?" She strove to keep her tone Inconsequential. "Can you bear the truth? Yon must have noticed last night bow RALLY SUNDAY The Southern Oregon Baptist Young People's association will hold their quarterly rally at Aahland, Sunday. December 4, at 3:90. This assocla tlnn Includes the D. Y. P. U. groups of the Baptist churches or Grartta Paaa, Aahland, Medford and Klamath Palla. The meeting planned this time ta very unique and entirely different from any previous ones. Dr. Hasan, better known to the young people aa "Daddy" Hagan, state director of the B. Y. P. U. work, will be present. All membera are urged to attend and to be at the church promptly at 1 :30. Alio all persona havlug care .urged, ie hlng bam. between me and your present has band a bond of sympathy waa al most Instantly established. You ex plained It on dive's side when you said he was sorry for me. I fell for him for precisely tbe same reason. But wby should we feel sorry (or each other?" "I'm not as dumb aa all that," she smiled. "You're both had me for a wife." "Quite so. It you were to remarry a hundred times, you couldn't change your personality. You've a man's brain In a woman'a body. Somewhere deep in your subcon sciousness you resent not having been born a man. You refuse to follow. You're uncooperative. You disguise your high-handedness by attributing unselfish motives. You're always attempting to remold your husband of tbe moment to the more perfect Image of yourself. "It I'm as horrid aa all that, how did I attract you?" "Ah I" He rubbed his bands. "Your feminine body conquera your mas culine brain on occasions, it fakes sex appeal, playa the kitten, drives men crazy. You're only disappoint ing to the particular man who owns you." "Poor Dlckyl You would say that" "Yoa think I'm decrying your values because I've lost you. On the contrary, 1 treasure two exqui site memories: tbe night yon ac cepted me and the day you divorced me. Tbe kindest of these was " "You spoke Just now," she Inter rupted, "of wires being disappoint ing. It's a foolish question. You've done nothing but Ill-wish me. In your opinion, from the little you've seen of Cllve " She lowered her voice and Jerked her head In tbe direction of the library. "Do yon consider tbat he's disappointed?" "Santa!" He assumed an expres sion of shocked dignity. "But you're been discussing Cliva all evening. You've hinted and im plied." Cllve entered. "Hello, Dak! Thought you'd gone. It'a stopped raining." Dicky looked up mildly. "We got Into an argument We always did. It's been quite like old times. I've been maintaining that the modern girl Is unmarrigeable." Cllve approached his wife. "Here's one who isn't" Aa his arm slipped about her, Santa became normal. "Dicky's bitter." When tbe door had closed behind their guest, Cllve drew her into the library, "That cbap'a haunted." Later, in bed, Santa demanded, "How haunted?" "By you." "Well, 1 think he's horrid. Keet him away from me. I'm ashamed that I was aver married to him." "Of course you are. But I'm tired.," Kissing her, be turned his back. Having waited till he waa asleep, she placed ber arm about him and lay wondering whether It waa true tbat she waa the sort of women who never ought to bave married. Next morning, partly to disguise her state of mind, partly to test Cllve'a tenderness, she feigned a headache. "Darlinjr, oughtn't I to call a doc tor?" "It's nothing, Cllve." "But beaps of diseases start with headaches." "It'a nerves, Cllve. That discus sion about whether 1 should learn typewriting and then about moving to tbe country didn't help matters." "I was a brute, darling. Try some aspirin and a cold park on your forehead." After he'd pulled down the blinds and left for business, she sat up rumpling her hair. "Road to beaven, you're a faker, but he still carea tor you." What a simpleton abed been to listen to Dicky! One prophesies the thing he desires. He wanted her marriage to Cllve to be a failure. It would restore bis self-esteem. Cllve had been right: It bad been a mis take to re-cultivate a divorced hus band. Tbe day she bad taken Cllve sbe should bave burned her boata behind ber. Sbe would burn them now. De termination galvanised her. By tbe time Cllve returned tbat evening, the situation which hr tactlessness had created should be terminated. Having rested, sbe telephoned Dicky. A carefully trained, cautiously modulated voice replied. "Mr. Dak la engaged. Any mes sage r "But I hare to speak with him. Please tell him tbat Santa la on tbe wire." (CelrHtU IHMWI, C..l.,it Demem) Banta, In an effort to clear the SiiV. tlta rmmh ten. tnmarrnw. JOB INSURANCE CINCINNATI, Nov. SO.

W. Carlton, orchardist, here this morning. The owl was discovered a few weeke age on a rather undigni fied position, his wing caught In the tying wire near a transformer on the power line near the home of the Misses Carlton on the Old Stage road. Mr. Carlton and a neighbor, who saw him there, endeavored to remove blm from the trap with a pole, but bla wing, through his efforts to free himself, had become too tangled In the wire. They telephoned the Cali fornia Oregon Power company office and asked If anyone would be Inter ested In rescuing an owl. The an swer wss "yes." A lineman soon ar rived and with heavy gloves for pro tection, took the owl from the wlrea. By way of expressing his gratitude, the bird pecked him with a very strong bill which all but penetrated the lnsulsted gloves, then dropped to the ground. His wing was appar ently broken and a move to end his misery with a shotgun wss started, but the two men who discovered him objected.
