PitGE F0TJRTEE1T BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OREGON', FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1931 ft HYNUl'lS; Martha Moores mother has been too pleasure-lov ina to make her daughter happy; Admiral Moore, Marsha's father, had taught her not to care deeply tor anyone but herself. And when then died, Marsha vent to live with her spinster Aunt Gertrude, whose i arid life drove her to various email . excesses one an almost successful elopement. She was saved from the l elopement by Dr. James, Aunt Ger trude's rector, and Marsha's one ' sincere friend. SPITE MMIUMIE ot moisture upon tils ruuli .iac of her coat; a tweed that would have turned a less graceful woman stilt. Miss Gertrude, whom she was to meet, had not yet appeared and Marsha, looking for her, came upon a group of acquaintances she had no friends of either sex and as she appeared their sudden sllonca and conscious faces confessed that she had been under the knife, "I presume," she thought, as she studied the group, "I prosumo It Is the caso ot Bobby Powers, and I am the murderor!" She said, too sweetly, "But please don't let me Interrupt! I know some thing thrilling was being told, and who was doing the dissecting?" Borne one moistened orange-tinted lips with a small pointed tongue; an other said limply, "But what were we speaking about?" and a vague murmur, "I can't think odd. Isn't It?" answered this. Marsha let her large, doep-gray, heavily fringed eyes rest upon Le tltla Powers, the cousin of the man who had come up from Mexico on one of bis rare vacations; "A viking sort ot person," who was "amusing ly serious," and who, having come and met Marsha, remained to plead. He was making upon Marsha an Impression that made her smile fre quently. Of course It couldn't last, that she knew; but, with blm gone Chapter Three MAN FROM MEXICO kfAHSHA wanted to please Dr. j" James. She "adored him! wor shipped blm!" But Miss Gertrude 'nagged so constantly that when a 'chance for "a good time" came she :grasped It; It drugged her, although 'It rarely was "a good time," even thougtt It drugged, I And as time went on she avoided blm who would cling to his faith In her, who would think sbe wanted to be good. And at twenty-six, having learned to manage very well, sbe rarely saw him for more than a space that was built for a nod, and a "Good afternoon " ' Mss Moore, by that hour when Martha was twenty-six, was entirely disillusioned, and between battles she and Marsha lived In a state of armed truce. . Marsha was not the fabric for a successful martyr and allocking elfcJR I "And who was doing the dlnect- "Gorty" had become one ot her favorite Indoor sports. "Oh, It I could but wash my hands ot you!" Miss Gortrude often moaned; to which Marsha was apt to respond with a languid, "Darling, how sweetly satisfying that would be for everyone concerned. But I am a duty, am I not? For the mo ment I forgot that." And such comment, leading to other, made life at least, "Interest ing." ' There were young men and old men and middle-aged men of all sorts; Marsha heard tbolr avowals of undying love with amusoment which seared somothlng within ber that should have been fresh and verdant and young. ' She had no more faith In the pos sibility ot docent, enduring love than Miss Moore had In her. Had Miss Moore had some faith In her, Marsha might, at least, have credit ed one sort ot love, but as things wore It was all a lie and why not laugh about It and take what one could get and dance away the time? Her nickname was "Princess," an apt nickname. Her manner was regal; sbe was at times cruel, at others, too kind. Her court was re nowned and democratlo to a dogree which assaulted those who asked that hushed, "And who was bis mother?" Any Jester was welcome and the past ot a new comer was no more questioned than It would have boen In the tropics, whero men lire to forget or to hide. SHE had turned Into the Chelten ham, color heightened on her chocks by tho raw air; small beads from her presence, she kept seeing blm, staring at ber as If she were something on an altar. He had taken a cocktail glass from ber hand; he had said, simply, "Do you mind not drinking that? I think you've had enough, you see" And that was "amusing;" "enchant lngly newl" He made her think, for some rea son she could not define, of Doctor James. Doctor James wbb fat, squat, physically lazy, and his round, bland face was as smooth as a har vest moon. Bob Powers was lean, arrestlngly tall, hard; his tanned cheeks were sunken, while Doctor James' cheeks made one think ot pincushions, Tot tor some roaBon, Bob Powers con tinued to make her remombor Doc tor James, ' TUST left youi- cousin;" said J Marsha, eves sHIl nn T.aHH Powers. She spoke In perhaps the prettiest voice for ber to wear; a lanquld, gentle swoet one. "He Is a trllle serious, but enchant ing. No, thank you. I can't sit down, but It Is so sweet of you all to want me so very much I" (The group stif fened at her "horrid mockery.") "What Is It about the outdoors that keeps men seeming so young? I'm fenrfully attracted. How would you like me for a cousin, Letltla? We could have such Jolly times together you, Jim Bob and r." Letltla bridled, Hushed, lost color; her Hancd, Jim Doane, had wandered a bit, and Marsha's way. He had returned to Letltla only be cause Marsha had grown "borod" with him. Marsha smiled. "Don't worry," she said, and too kindly, "I shan't, marry your rugged cousin; I like to play too well. I expect to do a lot more " (she looked around the group and they felt her appraising and weighing their males) "before I aottle down to anything so dull as marriage. And what are you all do ing, and aron't you rather cruel not to let any of your eager admirers share their luncheon hour with you?" Again ber tone was too sweet and when response came In a voice made brittle by rosontment, she listened carelessly as her eyes swept the lounge. Stupid frumps, she re flected; no man would leave an office to waste time on them. Even the permanently unemployed, sbe Judged, could be lur.d their way only by some real bait such as the fortune that would be Letltla's. No wonder they hated her! "1 must move on, she said rudely In the middle of some one's descrip tion of a now hat and a morning spent in finding it, "So 'nice' to have aeen you all!" she drawled, ending. (CcfvrUH, "SI. h K.
