PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1934. SPOT t,fSOHSlSl Bine her parent died, Aliraha iloore haa lived with herAum Gertrude. Aunt Qertrude'e harsh manner ol lije has turned ijaraha into a hard-hearted and flippant girl. She hat jilted innu merable auitora; now aht ia "drop pino" Bob Powera, and finding it more painful than usual. But aha has aeen Geotjrey Tarleton enter the night ctub where she has taken Bob. And ehe beltevea the dtaaolute Tarleton ie the man beat an""-' to hrr. BUT Bob looked down and the wldtful appeal In Marsha's face made a audden spasmodic! tighten ing of hla arm and It brought out his hard flush. Geoffrey had aeen "the little exhibition,' Marsha realised vllh tremulous satisfaction. Noth ing mattered now, but Geoffrey and bis reactions. It bad always been Geoffrey, she thought; always! The muslo ceased; she heard, "Marsha," And turned to see Geof frey and "the silly flapper," And then, her hand was la Geoffrey's and Geoffrey was trying to speak easily and trying to show that he did not care. But his eyes blazed on her. "Not back too long," he mur mured, "and I'm keen to see you. We must hare a long session. I have news. And by the by, Marsha, I want you and tbe new 'Mrs. Tarleton to meet and be friends " She had said something In re sponse. It evidently "passed"; no one looked surprised. She heard herself Introducing the suddenly stiffened Bob. The rose-sllrer walls of the place swam; once more tbe music started and she moved, rather uncertainly, toward the table where her glass bad been resiled by a waiter who had served her be fore and who knew her needs. Bob, Geoffrey, "the new Mrs. Tarle ton" followed. Geoffrey, no one, must ever know, how It had bit her. She settled, to know that Geoffrey's probing eyes were on her. Did be understand? Was he pitying her? She would not have his anyone's pity! No one dared pity her who bad had more homage than had any other woman In all New York. She looked at her glass. She knew she dared not raise It; that the trem bling which filled her, would tell her tale for her. Geoffrey was, speaking. "Bee and I," be said, with a glance toward the girl who sat by Marsha, "are great friends In spite of circumstances, and I've told her all about us, Mar sha. She'd been longing to meet you; I thought perhaps you'd trou ble for old time's sake to show her around a bit." It was Inoredlblet The plan crystallized that had suggested Itself through the puls ing baze a moment before as sbe glanced at Bob. "I would adore It," she said; she heard herself speaking and aa If, from afar and to her amazement her Tolce sounded natural, easy and un caring. "But," she went on, "I shan't be here much longer, I am going to Mexico with Bob Powers. Marriage eems to be In the air." Now she saw that Geoffrey had felt a blow and a hard one. Had he thought she would stay single to mourn his memory? "You are going to' marry," Geoffrey paused; turned stunned yes toward Bob "Mr. Powers?" "Exactly! And no end clever of you, Geoff, to catch the great Idea." THE little girl was saying some thing Marsha heard as silly; something about hoping Marsha would be as bappy ss she was. Bob, turned lemon-white by the pallor that was beneath his tan, was star (ng fixedly at her. Marsha heard a contused jumble of voices; she saw Bob rise and In a voice that was uncertain and low, but commanding, he said he was sorry, but that he and Marsha must be on. One did natural things In a nat ural way, while drugged, she real ized. She had said her goodnlghts, to Geoffrey and "the new Mrs. Tarle ton." She bad acknowledged the head-waiter's doep bow with a nod; she had tripped light as eve, down the steps with Bob to wait with him under the canopy while the scarlet clad, brald-trlmmed starter whistled tor a taxlcab. Bob spoke, as they wslted; "Is this play?" he asked. "No. Not It you want It to be serious, Bob." "Marsha!" "If you think I'd make you happy " She could do that tor a little while, perhaps, she reasoned. And tt would probably be better for him (Copyright, 103., by the Preas.) Associated LONDON, July 7.

He had pressed her arm close, un able to answer. The taxlcab slowed by tbe curb; she waa In. Bob was saying, "Tbe park." Rather gasping It, poor dear, she realized. The starter stood, look ing first at a twenty-dollar bill and then after the cab. "II It's not real this time It will kill me," she beard. Sitting sldewlse on the edge ot the seat, he waa turned toward her, staring down on her; and be was waiting her an swer. He laid a timorous hand on hers, "Please," he begged. "It's as real, I suppose, as any thing Is," she answered. Tbe sud den flash of a corner light let her see the tears that filled his eyes,, She expected him to go to pieces and be a little mad. But Instead he held her handa pressed to his Hps; ; head quickly bared and bowed above them, And why was she crying, she won-1 dered? ' Very gently, he drew her into his arms; "Dearest," he murmured, his cheek against hers. He kissed her wet eyes and her Hps. And when, after kissing her, he hid his face against her throat she felt the unfolding wings of a new soul; untried, stiff and weak, those wings, but capable of growth. And feeling tbe change, she wondered why she felt so odd. Sbe realized tbat his gentleness sppealed Immeasurably because his strength was so limitless. "He must be on guard all the while," she thought; she bad never met any one like him. Sbe ran a hand over his tawny hair. He raised his face on which was plainly written all she meant to him. "When?" he asked. ' "Tomorrow," she answered. He drew a deep breath; "You won't play now?" he whispered. She shook her head. "How can I ever thank you," he said, "how can I aver thank you? And tomorrow, Marsha!" He was now going a little mad and she was crying agalnl She did not know why she bad to cry. And he was gentle, In a flash, comforting, her aa he would a child, She clung to blm. "I'll try to make you happy," she , thought, drawing with the thought as close to a prayer as she had been in years. XlARSHA'S night was close to sleepless and filled with flashes of Geoffrey's face, the face of "the new Mrs. Tarleton" and Bob Pow ers' eyes, which had been filled wltb hunger, gratitude, humbleness snd Incredulity. As these flashes passed upon the ebon curtain, she considered that which sbe bad done, and promised to do, to know stark terror. But when, after a few hours of torn and troubled sleep, she woke In the dawn to remember slowly, she was not sorry. Bob Powers was, she knew cer tainly, the best man, the finest type, she had ever met. He would always hunger for her unless he learned through her, the fleetingness of pas sion; the sameness ot women and the fact that a man could dance with or kiss any girl and that, to love lightly meant peace. She would, no doubt, graduate him with honors, she reflected bit terly. And perhaps that would be the best thing she had ever done In the courae of her useless and self-. Ish and cruel life. She sat up In bed to stare at thai square of leaden gray that was a window. She was greeting her wed ding day, she realized . . , strange I sensation. I At least, she reflected, she was one woman who would not go soft about tha silly business; she would expect no mlraclea and she would be shocked by no "natural out come." Her throat, for some maddening' reason, was stiffening again. At least they liked the same books. Thsy would probably "make out In a sort ot way" while they "had to." At least she could be a comfort able companion In hours that de manded that, She knew she bad a good disposition when she was not nagged. She didn't suppose Bob nagged. Of course he might, she mused easily. Almost every one, she presumed, when close enough, seemed to have to nag. Well, no matter.

The scout have been eager to pass tests and make progress In their scout advancement All scouts are tested for their swim ming ability at the beginning of each period. Twenty-seven were rated as swimmers, being able to swim at least 23 yards, and 11 as alnkeaslea. Regu lar elastics are held each day and the boys who are not swimmers are given instruction. Alfred Dodson waa first beginner to advance Into the swim mer rank. The others are making good progress in learning to swim. Ten scouts are working on the swimming merit badge and two on the llfe-aavlng merit badge. Dale Roberts has completed the swimming merit badge and Stuart Forbes has passed all tests for the life-saving badje. The new boat, constructed by troop No, 8, has been In constant demand. At the first evening campflre. Camp Director A. O. Soderberg explained to the boys what would be expected of them during their stay In camp. The camp honor system and emblem sys tem was also explained. There are no punishments and the boys are not deprived of any privileges. The scout oath and laws are the scouts' guldo co good conduct In camp. A scout, . to be rated as a satisfactory camper, must get along with the other fel lows, live up to the scout oath and laws, make progress In scout ad vancement, take part In the camp activities and be helpful around the camp. D. F. Parker is the camp doctor. In addition to being responsible for the health of the scouts, he also con ducts first-aid classes. So far the doctor has not been very busy, and states that he Is enjoying a good va cation. Another good indication Is that all of the boys are reporting regularly to the mess hall for three square meals every day. Last Friday, 38 scouts left camp after breakfast for a trip to Brown mountain. It was a rather stiff climb, the mountain being 2.000 feet higher than the camp. All enjoyed the trail lunch of sandwiches and peaches. After lunch, some time was spent in exploring around the top. The scouts returned to camp In time for a swim in the lake before dinner. After the swim everyone felt much rested and all were ready for the big dinner the cook had prepared. Med ford scouts attending the camp this period are: Dale Roberts, Gerald Keesee, Sam Richardson, Donald Root, Burdette Dodge, Bub Thlero'.f, Douglcs Janney, Richard Nelson, Del mar Hockersmlth, Alfred Dodson, Bobble Strang, Walter Kresse, Boo Nixon, Donald Horner, Richard Schu chard, Bill Littrell, Roland Rlnabar ger, Spencer Wellla, Jerry Vawter, Chct Ferguson, Ray Barrow, Harold Sleight, Hugh Ferguson and Bert Isaacs.
