The page won initialed "J. R." Chapter i ABOUT ROBERT -OLLT!" said Carolina to her self. If she hadn't been o tired. It would have said Itself out loud. Wai It possible that Robert had an Ulterior Object? Caroline dwelt with Joy on Rob art under the Influence of a Tender Passion, of Robert Pursuing a Courtship, of Robert Proposing and Being Accepted. She forgot that ah was going to sit on a bottom step and let the world go by. Her eyes sparkled. She swooped down upon the hearth-rug beside PatBy. "Patsy Ann what hare yon been op to? What has Robert been up to? How could you be so Indiscreet as to hare him to lunch In the absence of your chaperon? A gay young man like thatl Tell your Aunt Caroline 11!" Patsy began to cry. Her face worked. Tears came rolling down her cheeks. She sniffed loudly be tween angry sobs. "You're never done him Justice! Pre had to put up with your making fun of him always! I didn't say any thingbecause It wouldn't have been any use saying anythlngl You only think about your own affairs you don't confide in me you never hare! I'm sure It you'd been en gaged to Jim, you couldn't hare shut me up more when I asked the sim plest and most natural questions though if I'd chosen She stopped and dabbed her eyes irlth the blue velvet She was not Quite prepared to claim Jim as a lover. She plunged hastily back into the original grievance. "You always make fun of Robert! If yon were older, you'd appreciate him as I do, He has a very high sense of duty and a pure Roman nose. It Isn't you he wants to marry, so it doesn't mat ter what you think of blml". Caroline was appalled. "Patsy darling don't. I never, never meant to hurt your feelings, Darling, you know how one laughs at nil sorts of things one respects niu.it (rightfully like bishops aud the Bank of England and and Parliament." "Robert Isn't an Institution! That was exactly what he was. But never again must Caroline say so. She hugged the weeping Patsy. "Darling, I respect him most right fully. He's as sate as the Bank of England and as good as a bishop. Are you going to marry him? Has he asked you? Have you said yes? Here's my hanky you're simply rv.lnlng thai blue velvet." Patsy blew her nose on the prof fered handkerchief. "There's nothing settled," she said In a muffled voice "nothing at ail. Only he said he did say his mother thought he ought to marry. He's such a good son and he said he would like to please her and did I think 47 was too old and when I said no, it waa just the prime of life, he said he was very glad 1 thought so because he valued my opinion very much. He said that twice and then he asked me whether I had any views about cousins marrying and I said I didn't think It mattered so long as they weren't very near," "rvARLINGI That was practically a-' a proposall" Patsy gave a final sob. "I thought It was because he got up and looked out of the window and then he said, 'Your great grandfather was second vusln once removed to my grandfather.' And then he said be must be going and then Just at the end he pressed my hand and said, 'You will hear from me In confirmation of this In, tervlew.' " Caroline sprang up hastily. If she laughed, Patsy would never forgive her. She went quickly towards the stair, saying. "I'll Just take my things off and eome down again." "Yon do think ha meant some thing?" TO BE SECOND PHASE PORTLAND, Oct. as. (flV-Chsrles Orlm, chief civilian engineer, an nounced today that plana are under NOV IS THE TO duy "It sounds like It." Carollns waa gathering up her bag and gloves. Of course be said he d eome oowi to ask us about Jim." With her foot on the bottom step. Caroline stood rigid. What had Rob ert Arbuthnot wanted to find out? She made an effort and said, "About Jim?" "Yes. Someone has told him about that broadcast, but they'd forgotten the name of the hospital. Ha wanted to know whether we bad any reason to suppose that Jim was on the Alice Arden." "And you said?" "I said you thought he might have been. I told blm it was the Elston cottage hospital, and that yon bad been over and found the man wasn't Jim. I told him the name wasn't Ran dal at all It was a man called Rid dell, and bis wife had taken him away." "He was quite satisfied?" . "He went on asking questions. H9's so thorough. I think It's won derful to be so thorough and con scientious." Caroline leaned on the old oak balustrade. The cottage bad been there for three hundred years, and' for three hundred years the hands of men, and women, and little chil dren had been rubbing the baluster smooth. Caroline's bands slipped on It now. She came down a step and stood against the newel. What sort of questions had Robert been asking, and what sort of answers had Patsy given him? "What did he want to know?" she said. "When yon heard from Jim last and what his plans were and whether we'd seen him since he landed. , . . Ob, and most particular ly, whether we'd heard from blm, or about blm, since the wreck of the Alice Arden, And of course I said no, we hadn't And then he said a most awfully curious thing." "II7HAT did he say?" "It wasnt so much what he said as the way he said It. Hs coughed and cleared his throat, and poked the fire, and then he asked me whether we'd heard any rumors. What do you suppose he meant?" "What did you say?" "Well I hadn't heard anything really so I said I never listened to gossip. And he said, 'Quits right quite right,' and blew bis nose and wouldn't say anything more except vague things like not getting drawn Into any scandal, and remembering that we were two women living alone. "And of course, after saying that about not listening to gossip, I didn't like to ask what be meant hs mightn't have. thought It quite nice of me. You know, he thinks women ought to be protected from contact with the sordid side of life. He said so at lunch. He said their place was the home, and that a really nice wo man asked for no higher or wider sphere. He said " "Why?" "That's the sort of woman be ad mires." "I don't mean that Why did he say all that about a scandal?" "I don't know. It sounded well, It sounded ns It Jim" Caroline stamped her foot. 1 "Patsy Ann!" "Well, It did sound like that and of course when Mrs. Smith was scrubbing out the kitchen yesterday she did say you know her sister-in-law's eldest girl la' kitchen-maid at Packham Hall she did tell me" "Well?" said Caroline. "You know how she talks I wouldn't ask her anything, but you can't help listening well, she says there used to be a photograph ol Jim In Mrs. Van Berg's sitting-room a big one like yours " she paused. Caroline did not speak; she looked Instead proudly and a little con temptuously. Patsy's color rose. "It's no use of your looking at me like that! And you didn't let me fin ish. Mrs. Van Berg might havi fifty photographs of Jim If she liked, and It her husband didn't mind. Even Mrs. Smith dldnt mind her having the photograph." "What did she mind?" said Caro line In a deep, angry voice. "Well, it Isn't there now," said Patsy. "Why should It be?" "It Isn't But It was It was there the very day Mr. Van Berg waa shot, and It's never been there since and, as Mrs. Smith says, things like that are bound to make people talk. Caroline turned round and went up the stair. Her door shut sharply. fCosyrljM, IMl. J, B. tlpplncoK Co..

Circulation "We naturally want to do our pell In building up the Industries of our state," atated Mr. Moffatt this morn ing, "but there Is another reason why Medford should co-operate to the ut most extent. We are expecting the manufacturers of the state to give us a great deal of support at the time of Oregon's Diamond Jubilee cele bration," he continued, "and the least we can do next week Is to have our storea feature the goods of those mer chants who will undoubtedly be down here next June." The Portland chamber of com merce and Governor Julius L. Meier are both interested In the develop ment of home products and. have co operated with Medford with regard to the Diamond Jubilee celebration, and chamber of commerce officials believe that all merchants should endeavor to reciprocate next week hy having Ore gon made products emphasized In their windows. This morning the chamber of com merce received a number of posters and an additional supply has been requested. It Is hoped they will ar rive before Monday so that every store window can display one.

(AP) The world's fair, In the words cf former Governor Alfred E. Pmith of New York, Is an example of the progress of industry the triumph of "the mind and the hand of free men," without dictatorship. The one-time Democratic standard bearer took occasion yesterday to voice his disapproval of growing gov ernment powers In an address before thousands of shivering admjrera in the court of the hall of science at a century of progress during cere monies planned especially In his honor. "Private Initiative may sometimes need the curb and bit of government control, but the government Is at Its best when It supplements and co operates with private Industry." he nald.

THE DARLING g istration and Its national recovery program. The fair, with Its far-flung exposi tion buildings and countless exhibits depleting progress of the last century. Is notable, smith said, "In that gov ernment as such has contributed little to this progress, and as a mat ter of fact, might, be criticized for meddling with this progress through its many bureaus." He defended the work of Industrial leaders by saying that more often than not, their motive had been the love of accomplishment, rather than personal profit. Mr. Smith, with his wife, was atlll In the city today and friends aald they might leave late today for New York. 4- GIVES JUDGE A KISS MERCED.

Head Coach Andy Kerr and Captain Winnie Anderson contributed some Import ant master-minding to the touch down play that beat New York uni versity last week. Before the game. Kerr called the officials aside, diagrammed a play and said: "We may use this during the game. There's nothing Illegal about It but the man who first carried the ball might look as If he's being tackled. Don't blow the whistle too fast." The teams battled soorelessly through the first period and toward I :e close of the second Anderson suddenly turned to the head lines man and asked: "How much time left?" "I'll have to take time out to find out if you want me to," the lines man replied. "I'll take It," said Anderson. (Copyright, 1933, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
