UNWELCOME CALLER
tTTELL, the b4 turned over ser
eral new pages, Martha thought.
She rose; he too rose, but unwill
ingly. "Ella summon! us; she's wig
wagging from a window. Dinner, I
uppoae."
They were both very happy that
sight at dinner, they each remem
bered later, and bitterly. The rogue
etorm-clouds whlcb had muted
jotber hours did not appear. They
were as close aa they had ever
been, with a realization now of
What closeness meant.
"Great dinner, yon dear thing!"
jfce aald; and with absurd Intensity;
'then, "Good heavens. I'm happy!"
Ah, she realized, she loved him,
loved him I And he loved her beat
when he did not know quite bow
'much she loved him. Why did she.
.well Inured to the world and Ita
twounding waya, expect perfection?
But she did; she cried tor It, Inside.
His eyes, quick to note change In
:her made him say, "Headache?"
"No," she assured blm.
"Yon looked a little done-ln Just
then. You're certain?"
He was almost too gentle with
her when be felt she suffered In any
way. It thawed ber.
"I'll tell you about It aome day,"
he promised, "some day when you
are bored. I believe confessions nil
gaps admirably. Betty Forsythe
concocts tbe most amazing tale.
Ehe aays her husband sleeps, other
wise, and that aha would rather lis
ten to bis shocked remopstrances
than to his syncopated snores. Per
haps I'll come to that!"
"OC'D better not!" be answered.
"I suppose I'm a fogy, but I hat
that sort of thing. Bad enough for a
man to bleat out a lot of repentant
f uff."
"But If a woman baa It to bleat?
And aome secret that keeps both
ering ber by bobbing up from, well
say a tall past like mine?"
He smiled.
"I wonder how many men did
care for you?" ha questioned Idly.
"Ever count 'em? Heavens, when I
thlnkl Lucky tor me you didn't care
enough tor any one of them." He
reached for a mint, and after a nib
bis. complained. "Stale," he said,
"where did you get them? Don't you
think they're stale?" -
Marsha sampled the condemned,
considered carefully, and then said
be thought the mints were stale.
And she looked all the evening as If
lbs had a headache.
Walking In the pale tbln sunlight
the next morning, Marsha looked op
and over the low, atone wall. A
motor, which bad been purring up
the lane, had coma to a standstill.
Quiet baa Its own arreatlng quail
ty; often it Is more ominous than
tbe londost din. It was the quiet that
made Marsha turn In the path; and
It was Geoffrey Tarleton's quiet that
led ber to say, "Why, Oeoffl What
are you doing here?"
He answered with "Happened
along."
"Wonderful!" she said In the way
she felt to he school-girlishly en
thusiastic "Won't you come In?
Bob Is In the village, I believe."
"Well. In such case I might,"
Geoffrey responded, aa be raised
his brows and smiled. .
"I meant he'll be sorry to miss
you.
"Ob, 1 see. How do I reach your
delectable retreat? Ladder or air
plane? Oh, gates; I aee. A bit along.
Isn't It?"
"Better park In front." she called.
"tbe tradesmen come rushing
around the corner and never seem
to think" The rest of her warning
was absorbed In the sound of chang
ing gears.
She frowned aa she turned to
pace toward the lower end of the
garden. She wished Geoff had not
come . . . Geoff who smiled at her
and with his smile made her feel
an Idiot; Geoff, who awoka ques
tion In her. Among them a wonder
about whether she wasn't drugged.
CHE walked tbe length of the path
l' three tlmea, and amlled toler
antly over Geoff's method, which
was to heighten Interest with sus
pense. How they understood each
"ah age for rterdr.

other! Rather a relief that; not hav
ing to play up.
Ehe stepped In the shelter of a
tiny arbor to light a clgaret. Her
banda were ahaklng. She surveyed
ber own tremors quizzically and
with some scorn. She knew what
made them, Geoff did not; Geoff's
knowing her so entirely, and forc
ing her old real self upon herself,
did. If, she reflected, Bob knew ber
and still cared
But those things didn't happen,
except perbapa In heaven or In
hooka.
Ehe heard the crunch of gravel
under a leisured step and did not
turn.
"Well, Princess?" she heard, in
Geoffrey's bantering tone,
"Well, Geoff?"
"How la It going?"
"Beautifully!"
"God!" (He laughed after be
spoke.) "To think that I ebould live
to see thla day! How did be do It?"
"Really you don't want a descrip
tion" she questioned.
His eyes narrowed. "No," he an
swered, "I think I don't." Again ha

"To think that I should live to see
this day!"
laughed, and thla time a sneer waa
caught and held In tbe aound.
"Have luncheon with us?" she
asked.
He bowed with an Ironical court
liness. His drawled "Charmed." ci
rled on the effoct he wished to pro
duce. Maraha, pretending she did not
notice Geoffrey's threatening upset,
spread out her pretty hand, palm
upward, and turned ber face to tbe
sky. "You'd bettor." she said care
lessly. "1 think It's going to snow."
Without speaking he followed her
to the house.
After he had gone up the absurd
little stairs to brush from himself
the traces of motoring, and had, In
a tiny chintz-decorated bedroom,
used a military brush tbat elbowed
Marsha's rose-enamel and silver bu
reau things, he made his way down
again and turned to the living room,
where a driftwood Are burned
brightly.
Marsha was off somewhere. Prob
ably changing ber frock, be decid
ed, to something a bit mora daring
than the one she laid away; to
something that would "knock an eya
out."
He sat planning.

E SALE
Montgomery Ward's te mi -annual
furniture sale, with companion ealea
of rugs, stoves, housewares, curtains,
woolens and blankets, begins tomor
row In the 600 Ward stores located
In 48 states of the union.
Preparations for this event have
been Intensively carried on covering
a period of several months. Most of
the orders were placed with manufac
turers aa early as last March. These
orders were so tremendous that 67
factories have been kept busy since
then turning out furniture especially
for this event. Ward officials say
that a single purchase of a carload
proportion Is a common thing in
supplying quantities to meet the de
mand which has been built up in
this extraordinary sale.
The general tendency In depres
sion days the last few years has been
to curtail buying of home furnish
ings. This curtailment has been lift
ed to the extent that Wards feel that
thousands of families believe now la
the time to buy new furniture and
all that goes with new furniture to
make their homes more attractive.
Jt la that urge to beautify the
home and make It more comfortable
as well as the extraordinary prepar
ation advantages that Wards have
made, which leads O. D. Bean, man
ager of the local Ward store to be
lieve that this August will wltnesa
one of the greatest furniture buying
demonstrations that America has
witnessed tn many years.

made subsequently to the higher
courts, Attorney General X. H. Van
Winkle held in an opinion today.
Receipt of letters from- a Portland
attorney claiming that the license
revocation would not be effective aa
long aa tbe case wa on appeal In
the higher court, prompted the re
quest for the opinion, by P, J, Slid
elman, secretary of state.
OF
Word has Just been received by
local officials of the California, Ore
gon Power company that In response
to pouplar demand another carload
of special Westlnghouse automatic
electric ranges has Just been pur
chased from the factory. When this
big range offer was first advertised
In the newspapers a short time ego
the response exceeded all expecta
tions and the entire shipment was
completely sold out In a few days.
The California Oregon Power com
pany Immediately wired the West
lnghouse factory for another carload
and It Is now on the way. Many of
theoe ranges are already sold and Io
cs! residents are advised that any
additional orders will have to be
placed at once, as a policy of first
come, first served, will have to pre
vail. This Is said to be the first time
a fully automatic, completely equip
ped electric range haa ever been of
fered to the public at such a, re
markably low price and on such easy
terms. After present stocks are sold
out, the offer will be withdrawn, as
thla purchase was a factory cloee-out
order and no more of these ranges
will be available.
CTse Mail Tribune want ads.
