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?"

"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.

"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. The
posters are headed "Buy Oregon Made
Products. If Everyone Works, Every
one Spends." ,

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

NEW YORK. Oct. 25. 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.
