PAGE TEN MEDFORD HAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD. OREGON, TITURSDAT. JULY 19. 1934. SHU 4 J4'-A XYSOPMS: Martha Uoort hat refused Bob Fowert after "leading him" into an ensaaement. hut when aha heart Geoffrey Tarleton, vhom tht fanciet the lovet, intro duce her to "the neia Urt. Tarle ton" the marries Bob next dnv. Xow, a little astonished and a lit. tie afraid of hurtina Bab, she it be ginning her honeumoon. Chapter 14 HONEYMOON A SILENCE followed; Martha broke it. "You'll tblnlt me a fool," ihe aaid, "I don't know why I'm bo oddly nervous." "I'd think you a fool If you weren't 'oddly nervous,' " Bob assured her. He added, with a tmlle, "I'm a lit tle nervous myself. What we need, my dear, Is one of those patent medicines; the sort that Is adver tised through letters that run: "'I was all run down and had no appetite. I bad terrible dizzy spells. The Doctor said it was my nerves. And after six bottles of your won derful medicine I felt a new per son. I cannot thank you enough!'" She laughed delightedly. "And our letter," he said next, "will read, "After eighteen bottles of your nerve cure, we had courage to start on our honeymoon!'" "Have you a sense of humor. Bob?" "My dear, I hope so . . , But then, have you ever met a man or woman who admitted they hadn't?" "No," she admitted; she smiled for some moments over this, a thought new to her. "Bob." "Yes, Mrs. Powers," he answered, and was Instantly sorry he had hailed her In that reminding way, but she did not seem to mind. "Where are we going?" '"Mother, what's for dessert?'" he replied. "Aren't you going to tell me?" "No, Mam!" "Why, you brute!" "Yes, Mam." "We're going somewhere on Long Island," she stated triumphantly as .they neared the Queensboro Bridge. "Um. Know your map and every thing, don't you? You tell me about the turns. It'll save 'my nerves.' " "You're a very funny person, aren't you?" she questioned Iron ically. "You'll have to pretend to think so when we have dinner guests and you hear the old ones," he assured her. She might, she realized wonder lngly, have been on her way with him to someone's dinner, or tea. He said, "Marsha Powers, sup pose you sit back and rest and know that everything Is well." Tbey stopped for their luncheon at a small roadside Inn where a broad, open fireplace was welcome after the bite of the outdoor air. When Marsha returned, freshened by water, powdered anew, she found a small table before the glowing hearth, and Bob, back to the hearth, smoking a clgaret and waiting her. "'TlH13 Is charming!" she said. Hit -1- eyes glowed. She felt a warming of heart that was made by the way that pleasing her, pleased him. "I wish no one else would come," the confided as he drew out her chair and the settled. "They won't," he assured her; "there's another dining room and I've arranged the matter. I'm really quite a 'flier,' when 1 get a start. You're going to be surprised!" "And all ordered!" she said as a waitress appeared with a laden tray. "Yes, and If It doesn't suit we'll send It back and try again." "1 had not known I was hungry," she admitted next, and after some moments. "I knew you were. I was afraid you would begin to chow the sleeve of my top coat. And I'm tond of that coat. It came from Bond Street. 1 was deeply troubled" It was remarkably cozy; their luncheon time spread over an hour and then a half. The fire died down and the waitress came In to mend It and to send the "beautiful lady and her handsome, big man" an envious glance. So much In love, they ware. she s.iw; talking, laughing; "and him looking on her like he was starved, but keeping up his gay act ing." She sighed, leaving them. Again In the car, they found the skies darkened by the threat of a anow tall. Marsha's eyes grew heavy. "Why dont you tag against my thoulder tnd sleep?" asked Bob. "It's at your service, and a very service able thoulder you 11 find It to be." She did, after a little hesitation; he must have driven with painstak ing care the knew, when be woke her with a touch and she looked up to find blm r.oilling down on her. and a flurry of snow In the air, and the small doorway of a stone house seen through It and near. "Home, my dear child!" he said. He stepped from the- car then and picked her up to carry her over the threshold. "I have my superstitions," he admitted, as she found herself set by him and reluctantly, upon her feet; "this Is one ct them!" A ttooped old woman In black dreas, white cap and apron appeared then from the rear of the low-cell-lnged, old-fashioned hall. She curt sled In a fashion that told of her having started aa scullery maid in another land. "I think you'll find ivtryihirg' in readiness for Mrs. Powers, Mr. Rob ert," she said, "and It's honored we are, here, to serve you both." "Gila, one of my mother's oldest, most trusted servants," Bob said to : Marsha: She murmured something gently kind to find surprise at her self. She had not known she could play this role that bad been thrust upon her, so adroitly. A moment more and the went with Bob up the few stalra and Into a room with a sloping root. The walla were covered with an old fashioned, flowered paper, ruffled, dottwlpwlss curtalna were at the windows, and two deep, chintz-covered chairs and a few other old and good pieces gave the placo peace. "CWEET," the murmured, looking u around. "Thought you'd like It," he an swered; he did not glance away from her. "I'll bring up our bags. We're without any men servants. 1 think I didn't want any rugged male thing to see how softly I shall gaze at you. Why don't you finish that nap before dinner? You have a long hour and a half. "Perhaps," she admitted, "It would be a good Idea." She could be alone thus, she reasoned; and per haps, alone, she could think things through a little to get beyond the old, and disconcertingly unsteady feeling that had been hers ever since she bad learned Geoffrey was lost to her and since what she had don because of the loss of Geoffrey. He brought up their luggage, set hers on the waiting racks, and un strapped each piece. 'AH fixed!" he Bald. He moved toward the doorway; smiled at her from the doorway;' then he left, closing the low door firmly after himself. For some time she stood without moving. Suddenly she laughed; she did not know where she was physi cally, nor mentally! Where had his car turned as she slept? If only things would become real; It only he would act as she had expected him to! If she could feel solid ground, known ground through a normal man's actions, oven the name of the village. Then perhaps this ghastly new seriousness, which made deep crippling pressure, would slip away. She descended the stairs at half after six; he was waiting for ber at the foot of them. "Sleep?" he asked. "Yes, I didn't expect to. but there's a peaco here, I've never felt before. It's a darling house!" "I hoped you would like It." i "1 can't see hov you arranged everything In this s,.m while." "It took a little spei ' " he admit ted, "1 spent the night .elephonlng dragging people from bed and persuading them that no one needed so much sleep as they thought. Come In here and see the nice fire anu Ihe cocktails that are watting you " The living room was broad and long; a piano stood at one eud and near windows of tiny panes; at the other end of the room was a bank of books; their colors were gentle In the soft light. A fire leaped and scolded. Deep chairs were before It and an old fashioned, chintz-covered sofa. "I adore this place!" said Marsha. "1 thought," he said slowly, "that It you liked it as much as I shall after our time here, we might buy It, so that we can come back; mnke a pllg-lmage now and again you know between bridges " He paused a moment. "Come here to me," he said next "I want to say something that la rather serlout to you" (Cetr'll. I'M. y H. KeriUmJ-TevIc) Tomorrow, "Mr. and Mrs. Pow ri" hv their first dinner. IS BY SPECTROSCOPE French Scientist Says Exam ination of Blood Gives Key to Coming of Grim Reaper Case Is Cited as Proof By HOWARD W. BLAKESI.EE, AftROclatfd PreM Science Editor. CAMBRIDGE, Maw., July 19.-(AP)- The spectroscope, which records the birth and the decay of itara, can also foretell the approaching drath of man. A spectroscope death curve, which forecast a human death more accu rately than, the physicians, was de scribed today to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology spectroscope conference, which Is meeting here this week to discuss both practical and scientific uses of this Instru ment. The report was made by P. and M. Lecomte De Nouy, of the Poateur In stitute, France. M. De Nouy did not attend, but mailed his paper to Pro fessor George R. Harrison, chairman of the conference. The death curve waa found in a spectroscopic examination of hu man blood. Spectroscopic! curves are like city skylines, such as New York and London, which revet? 1 wide architectural differences, which never would be mistaken for each other, and which an expert would never forget. In this way the Paateur Institute scientists and his colleagues have been studying the structural nature of blood. They have analyzed, he reported, about fi.OOO samples. These Included the blood of men, horses and sheep. "We predicted a man's death which followed in 24 hours. He was partly paralyzed, owing to a malignant tu mor of the spine, with matatases in the lower Jaw, and urinary infection. He was expected to live, however, for many months," the report said. reau uf entomology, was at Crater Lake recently on an lnapectlon t-:p, aa a result of which he declared, the beetle situation to be entirely under control. AMBITIONS EETLE BATTLE CRATER LAKE, NATIONAL PARK, Ore.j-( Special.) After having once threatened the entire stand of lodge pole pine timber In the Crater Lake area, forest destruction by pine bee tle Infestations has been eliminated aa a result of systematic control work which began a number of years ago when the situation was serious. The battle against the insects was carried on along the largest scale in 1929 when 23,544 lodgepole pines were cut down, followed by 14,747 in 1931 and almost as many In 1932. The number was materially reduced In' 1933 but In 1934, only 13 lodge poles were cut down, Indicative of the vast progress pine beetle control work 1 has experienced since control efforts I were begun In 1925. Before that time the beetles had ! killed thousands of trees within the ! park area, particularly so in the I northwest section of the park where j over 30,000 acres of forest were l killed. P, P.
