BYSOPBI8: Since the death ot her parents, Marsha iioore hat lived with her Aunt Gertrude, That bitter spinster has turned Uarsha into a hard young woman 0 the world whose consideration tor her innumerable suitors has been ex actly nit. But Bob Povfrs has proved different; she pas taken his ring and gons to eallVn his mother. Alt the time Qeoftrev Tarleton. dis solute but amusing, has been in the back ot her mind. Now she has de cided to break off with Bob. Chapter 10 BITTER SCENE "T'M RATHER disappointed," Marba confessed, "but at least that's new!" She studied Bob. The small chair he had selected seemed entirely In adequate (or his bigness. Marsha liked him In it; liked the way he rather disconcerted her aunt's snob bish little drawing room. She liked bis bronzed skin; his splkey, unmanageable, sun-bleached hair, and bis big, ctrong bands. "Man's man," he had been called, and he was that and more; he was a (rlend to men, He was capable of being a real lover of one woman, and Incapable of playing with love; he was real izing It with poignant bitterness and it showed. I planned. Those were the momenta when you had to 'go somowhere,' when I 'bored' you and you said so. How many times have we danced away the time in which I longed to plan?" "I don't know," she answered honestly, "a good many, I suppose. Bob." "Well, anyway" he faltered, "I began to know how it was." "Do you hate me?" she asked. If he said be hated her It would be easier. But be did not say he hated her. He shook his head. "I couldn't hate you," he whis pered, "I have loved you too well." She saw his tips twitch. "One thing," he said slowly and after a little pause, "I am going to ask you to do for me." Bho waited. ; "r-vON'T let another man kiss you, U you don't care. It Isn't quite fair, Marsha. You see, it I bad not learned what kissing you means to me, It would be a little easier now. As it is I'm a serious thirty five and utterly Inexperienced In this sort of play and, well but I don't want to bother you and I real ize I did Impose myself most fright fully. You're not alone to blame." He tried to smile at her then; she couldn't answer his smile. 8he had net dreamed he eould tremble so. "How did you know?" she asked. "Has your cousin Letltla been whis pering Bweet nothings of me?" His eyes narrowed. "Do you think," he questioned in turn and with a sterness she had never known from him, "that I would lis ten to anyone who would say any thing that was less than good of you?" "I don't suppose you would," she agreed weakly and with shame. She saw him tumble tor his clgarets. He lit one with fingers that were un steady. She had not drewed that he, so balanced, could tremble as he trembled now. "You haven't an swered me," she reminded, "and I want to know how you understood." "It's not easy to explain," he re sponded, "and especially for a raw aort who doesn't talk easily. But you made it too clear at luncheon today. Or rather, after luncheon . . . you remember we were halted by a signal and you saw a child you said was sweet and you looked at her rather hungrily. And It made me quite lose my head, you remem ber?" "Yes." 'TT wasn't sensuous, Marsha, al though, God knows, I am alive with you. There will never be any one else who can matter In all ways as you do." Frowning, he puffed hard on his cigaret. "I had a flash," he went on, "ot what life could be for a man and woman who loved as I thought we did. "And I thought ot my own child hood which was happy and 1 thought of how happy any child must be with you for a mother, you see? And I put my hand on yours, yo'i remember? And I said 'I love you so, when are you going to be long to me?' and you shrank." She said again, "Yes." "Then I left you here, and I went home and I began to think ot how I had forced this matter and of bow you had drawn away. Not from caresses, Marsha, but from any talk 9f realities. You were uneasy when "You're lucky, Bob," she said and as close to harshly as she could speak. He shook his head. Suddenly he moved hta chair closer to hers to take both of her hands In his and to bold them tightly. He hurt her a little and she liked the pain. She rose suddenly. "I want to dance!" she said. ' He looked at her, astounded. "I'll go mad If you leave me Ilka this!" she went on, close to crying. "I must get ont and drink a lot and dance and laugh. You've upset me horribly!" He rose slowly. "Whatever you need," he said at length and after a deep, sodden breath. "You take things too seriously, Bob." "My God!" he said sharply; his laugh was mirthless. "If you learn to dance with any pretty girl" "I can't do that, Marsha." "You can! It's a matter of learn ing. You'll find a hundred, a thou sand, girls whose kisses are at In teresting as mine, it you'll try them." "No!" he disagreed shortly, sharply. "You're hopeless!" "I suppose I am," he admitted. Ha looked down on her pleadingly. "If there's some other man who would take you dancing tonight," he said, "I'm rather done In." "No! I want you." "Very well," he said, with i squaring of shoulders. He held her cloak for her and rather stupidly he followed her Into the mist of the night. "The last long ride together," she said, after tbey had settled In the taxlcab he had hailed. She heard bis sharply In drawn breuili. "Can't you take It lightly. Bob?" "No, Marsha." "Are you really suffering?" "Hell," he answered succinctly. (Cetyrifsl. " h K.

(AP) Twenty thousand men have been thrown out of work In Oregon and Washington logging camps and lumber mills, and production has fallen far below aver age, largely because of the longshore men's strike, the West Coast Lumber men's assoclstlon reported here today. Closing down of mills snd logging camps since the strike has reduced the number of employes from 61,000 to 31,000, the association declared. "The decrease la due primarily to the effect of the strue, but In part to a seasonal reduction In produc tion and employment which usually occurs at this time of the year," the regular weekly report of the associa tion etated. "Fifty-eight large tidewater mills which during the week ending May S produced 42 per cent of the cut re ported by a total of 094 mills, were not operating during the week ending June 30 and are still down. These mills sell more than half of their output In markets requiring water delivery. The docks of practically all these mills are loaded to capacity with lumber which Is sold and await, lng shipment. Even after it becomes possible to move this lumber, resump tion of production will be slowed until piling epace becomes available," WINDOW OLASa Wo sell window glass and will replace your broken windows reasonably.
