Chapter 41
DICKY BACK AGAIN
"OBINQ weak, Dicky probably
mil see you tremendously, said
Cllva to Santa, "I'm not dogln-the-manger.
If he's on your conscience
and there's anything we can do for
him, you won't arouse my Jealousy.
You're through with blm. In a sense
yon wen through with blm before
yon started. And then, he cam to
my help when he himself was ship
wrecked." "What's your Idea, Cllve that we
ought to get rid of him more grad
nallyr "Something Ilk that."
So that was bow It happened,
when Dicky called a few nights
later, that he was admitted. CIIts
bad brought home work from the
office genuinely brought home
work this time.
Following the precedent be bad
previously esabllshed, ha withdrew
to the library. A wife had the privi
lege of entertaining her friends, es
pecially when she contributed to
the housekeeping. Ha flattered
himself that be was handling the
situation modernly.
Finding no obstacles placed In
his way, Dicky dropped In more
and mora frequently. He entered as
It ha were bestowing favor and
seated himself in the best chair,
blond and Immovable. To a humor
ist bis vanity would- have been
amusing. He glanced round at fa
miliar pictures on the walls and
surveyed the furnishings with an
air of possession. Then ha waited
With restrained impatience for Cllve
to vanish, as though he and not
Cllve waa master.
Cllve consoled himself by think
ing, "All I have to do Is to kick
him out"
The moment ha had left his wife
with her ex-husband, they would
lapse Into French.
"Such good praotlce," Santa, ex
plained.
She kept no secrets. Was. clear aa
daylight Gave Cllve a synopsis In
bed of what had occurred each eve
ning.
"Yon don't need to," ha advised
her.
"But It helps me to correct my
Impressions. Dicky's so glib al
ways was. He'd swear ht hadn't
been near jam when It was smeared
all over his face."
"What does' he He about?"
"You and me. The noble influence
we are. How he's given up drink
and women to be worthy of us.".
"He'll drive ma to drink. Good
night, old girt. I have to be up In
the morning."
Often aha talked Cllve to sleep.
"Are you llatenlngr
Her slim arm protecting him, she
would lie awake, pondering how
complicating It was to have been
married twice. What it amounted to
was (bat you were responsible for
two husbands.
To have two husbands buulng
about you waa exciting. It kept you
expectant and emotional, the way
you were as a flapper. It made you
feel that you were still competed
for. The danger was that you might
offend your present husband In try
ing to save your tenner.
And Dicky Wdfllred saving.
Though he sighed over hla wasted
years, aha waa convinced that he
tlU dabbled In the muddy pool of
Broadway.
, Cllve, having flung wld the win
dows of bla wife's repressions,
wished ha hadn't. Dicky's lapses,
reformations, evasions, hogged two
.thlrds of their conversation. Santa
had turned their love-nest into a
rescue home. Why did a woman
when she had divorced a man, feel
Impelled to become a mother to
him!
At the close of a sample day of
rest, during which Cllvo bad sought
sanctuary In his stuffy little library,
ha protested. Having listened for
the Intruder's departure, he stepped
Into the ball to confront his wife.
"This Is becoming too much."
"I agree, darling." She raised
her face to be kissed. "We've bitten
off more than wa can chew."
- "More than I can swallow."
She slipped her arm through his
eoaxlngly.
"I'm all worn out Let's talk
while wa undress."
FILMS OF CRATER
Educational division of Crater
National park, has received a new
!6 milometer moving picture cam
era and projector to be used In pre
paring films for showing at the
Crater Lake community bouse pro
grams, and also at various service
organizations In southern Oregon
and northern California.
Both projectors are eqtitpped with
koda color lenee and filters, mak
ing It possible to take and project
natural color pictures. The new
machine eupplant the movie equip
ment formerly owned by the park.
The educatloul department also
has a metal lantern slide filing cab
"I'll turn out the lights first"
When he rejoined ber, ahe was
climbing Into bed. To prove that
she wasn't the person with whom
he was angry, he arranged ber pil
lows. Then let fly.
"He grows boresome comes to
sea you, not us. Struts like a
rooster. Yon must have noticed bow
he expects me to walk out when be
arrives. I might be the offlce-boy
snooping on a directors' meeting.
His attitude's a Joke; but a Joke
repeated too often Is annoying.
Wasn't our arrangement that you
were to get rid of him gradually?"
She cuddled her chin against ber
shoulder.
'It was. But Dicky sticks like
gum. Hes so dependent digs his
toes Into you. He's like a child in
a dark room frightened."
Frightened nothing!" Cllve
snorted. "Work's the only thing
he's afraid of."
"But ha is working."
"At what?"
"Theatrical producing."
Cllve roared with laughter.
"He's playing you for a sucker.
The only work he'll ever do Is
picking up chorus girls."
"If that were true," she stiffened,
"after all the pity I've lavished on
him But It's only surmise."
The good work continued. Cllve's
first married Christmas was spoiled
by the prosperous penitent's In
clusion. Santa excused bis presence
on the ground that It was the sea
son of peace and goodwill.
Cllve thought up fresh arguments,
but to utter them seemed futile. He
grew secretly anxious. He compared
his lot to that of the gullible hus
bands In the Decameron. He waa
well awaro that the Impartial ver
dict would be that he was being
hoodwinked. The only man he could
trust to be lenient In bla Judgment
was another dog-Fldo so he con
sulted his father-in-law.
Mr. Dawn chuckled.
"Like mother, like daughter. All
women are cheats. Pleasant cheats.
Self-deceived cheats. Cheats, never
theless. Which being the case, If
you don't want to become single
let her live through her frenzy."
Cllve bit his lips and watched
more closely. At the right moment
he would come down like a ton of
bricks.
Santa's frensy was progressive.
To evangelise Dicky wbom ahe bad
doubly wronged by marrying and
divorcing, became for ber a sacred
mission. The vivisection of bis soul
stimulated her to exaltation. Cllve,
clad In pyjamas and aching for
sleep, played audience to her rap-,
tures. Nightly the serial story of
Dicky's groplngs toward righteous
ness was Indicted on him.
She had been talking an hour.
His mind had wandered, when she
startled him Into alertness.
You were right about chorus-
girls. I've gouged a confession: he
makes Lou-Lou an allowance."
Cllve sat up In the darkness,
grinning broadly.
"That's the best news I've heard
In a long while."
She Imitated his example by pop
ping up.
"How's It good newst"
"It's good news to me," he In
sisted. "I could take a drink on It"
"But you don't reallie." Her
voice became awe-struck. "Dicky
wouldn't make any woman an allow
ance for nothing."
"That's precisely what I do real
lte." In hla Joy he embraced his
wife. "Hero's luck to her digging!"
She pushed blm aside. .
"Either you don't understand 01
you're disgusting."
From then on, Santa bagan to
attribute to Lou-Lou fresh crimes.
She made her the scape-goat for
Dicky. In the proportion that she
was black, be was white. The thetl
of the polocoat woe remembered
and the fact that she might ban
been quoted as co-respondent He:
father was a plumber. Her hair
waa tinted. No one would have
dreamed of ber as an actress un
less Dicky had backed her with
money.
Cllve in an Inspired moment visu
alized Lou-Lou aa an ally. If h)
could persuade her to pull on bla
end of the rope he might yet win
this tug-of-war against Santa and
her first husband.
If It waa gorgeous for Santa to
hold stances with Dicky, It would
be equally gorgeous for himself to
conspire with Lou-Lou. Even
though Dicky were no more to Lou
Lou than a meal ticket these night
ly revival-meetings threatened her
dominion. A chastened Dicky, ar
rayed In white robes, would certain
ly give ber the go-by.

BRINGS ELDERLY
PATIENT TO CITY
Emergency trips by airplane to
transport noted physicians and sur
geons to the bedside of patients have
become more or less commonplace In
this day of modern transportation,
but air trips over rugged and dan
gerous terrain, to rush patients to
hospitals In distant cities, are rare.
News of such a trip In which a well
known Medford pilot figured prom
inently has Just come to light.
Recently the aged mother of Ivan
Billings of this city was taken seri
ously 111 at Mule creek, which Is lo
cated 10 miles up the river from
Dllhee, near the mouth of the Rogue
river. To transport the Invalid to a
Medford hospital as speedily as pos
sible was a difficult problem, which
was solved by calling In the services
of Marshall fieagrave, commercial
pilot of this city. Mr. Seagrave Im
mediately left In bla speedy Travel
sir biplane for Illthee, the only spot
for miles around where a small clear
ing was available for landing and
taking off. Arriving at Illlhee, In
spite of adverse weather conditions,
Seagrave found that bis aged pas

him, It having been found necessary
