SPOT MAMBMI 6YMJPSI8: nvauae Hob Pout era htia found out that itaraha married him to pay off Geoffrey Tarleton. with whom aha hid thoupht heraelr in love until ha introduced her to "the neut Ura. Tnrleton." the Poutera honeymoon ia ahattered. Bob and itaraha are Otu f: in Amu York to net a divorce Hind now ilaraha realleee thnt aha tovte lioh tar more than ehe ic.f t t titled ticoltteu. Chapter 23 NEW TRAGEDY noB (at, long, lean, hunched over he was too big to accommodate easily t the averago amall car taring moodily ahead. The laxneas of bis arma, folded loosely acrosa his chest, made Marsha close her eyes. They had swung her so easily from the floor, those arms, and, al though gentle, bad been so Arm. It seemed close to Incredible that, only the day before, be had picked her up to settle her wltb him In a big chair before the Sre. So Incredible that It was a thing to smile orer vanly, while the cold crept close and deep. They had adjoining rooms, and after be had unlocked her bags be went Into bis room and closed the door after himself. Alone, she made her way toward a long mirror to study her reflection In It. Before she knew Bob, she bad been Inflexibly certain tbat a clever woman who waa beautiful could do as she liked wltb any male. This certainty bad been dissipated by new wisdom; If she could reacb Bob thus, whluh she doubted, she knew It would be to hold him for but a little time. Tbe time done, he would loathe himself for yielding, and loathe ber for having made him yield; and In his mind she would be further In vested wltb evllness. Her outer love llnoss could not help her wltb blm; If she attempted to make use of It, It would hlndei ber. She turned away from the mirror, for tbe first . time In ber conscious life bating beauty. She heard a tap on the door tbat divided. tbe rooms. "Come In, please," she ordered faintly. Bob opened tbe door to stand at the threshold. "About dinner," he said, "are you going down, or will you have It here?" She realized be was anxious to avoid '.he table tete-a-tete with her and she answered,, "I'll have some ' lng here." "Shall I ring?" he asked. No, thank you. I'm not hungry now." She folt the worry In hla eyes, and the drew a quick, sharp breath. She still mattered a little to him; ber comfort; ber health still mattered a little to him. "You ate no luncheon," he re minded. "True," she said, "perhaps you'd best ring." She wanted blm at ease about her and shs craved ardently to have within him as much peace as possibly could be. "You'll dine downstairs?" ahe questioned. "I suppose so," he hesitated. She waited. It waa obvious that he wanted to say something more. "I wish" he faltered. "Yos?" she prompted. "Oh, nothing. Anything I can do for you bofore I go down, or while 1 am down?" "No, thank you so much. 1 was used to taking care of myself; 1 suppose 1 may as well grow used to It again." Sho managed to smile at him after her words but he could not answer her smile. TpAKLETON, Bob supposed, would one day take care of ber and the Idea of Tarleton's caring for any woman, was, nob thought, a some what Rabolalslan lest. But she would understand Tarle ton's niannor of caring. It was, pat ently, all thnt ahe wished; some one who would look well with her In public somo one who would cheat her, and some one whom she could cheat. But now Bob was touched by her loncllnoss. "Is thoro anyone," he asked, "whom you would like to soe?" "Oh. henvon forbid I" she respond ed quickly and almost harshly. She laughed mlrthlev'y. "Fancy Aunt Gertrude at this momontl" she said. Ills face stiffened. He didn't want that for Marsha; the enforced com panionship that had drained ber, weakened her. Irritated ber. "You won't have to consider your aunt." he promised; "1 don't want you to go back to her." He left her then and without witching on the lights she wan dered to a window from which she stared down and Into the street. Motors, motors, motors; going com ing, hurrying, to fill tbe time . . . time . . . she turned ber wedding ring; her engagement ring that Bob had slipped on ber finger, only s few, short minutes before they weri married. "I think," she said aloud, "that It began then," Her words echoed In the empty room; she turned, cowered; she was, she found, desperately afraid of this empty room. It was a sym bol tor the endless stretch of level ground that lay before ber. She needed blm. Bob, wbo had told ber how lonely she bad been, by his com panionship. She wblapered, "Bob!" Then a cold and a quiet minute gone she smiled. Futile, It was, to call blm, or try to cry for him any more. He was dining downstairs so that be might :iot have to sit near ber, whose need for him was agony. And even tbat need of bers wouldn't matter to one so unusually kind and because be bated ber hated berl AT FIVE on tbe following after noon Marsha laid down a book she bad tried to read, failed to read. Bob bad been gone so long. She looked at the roses tin. bad been sent ber, wbo was masquerad ing aa bavlng "a slight cold." On the card tbat bad come wltb them was written In an old, not quite steady script, "For my very dear daughter (Child, come to see me. I am not afraid or catching colds). Your loving, Mother." And on the reverse of tbe card was written; "I do not like to have you and Robert stopping at an ba tel. I shall reason with blm. Will you, too, please, dear? I do so wan you both with me." Some day, of course, the ache would dwindle, dim, Marsha reas onod. Aches must, or people could n't love on, as they did. The small clock in tbe leather case ahe always carried with ber tolled Ave light, silvery notes. Wbere was Bob? He bad been gone so long. Theo she heard his step In his room; bis stride, always long, around the room. She sat, tense from listening. After an Interval sbe heard him move again and after that came bis tap upon her door. She called "Come"; he entered. She saw tbat hla look of strain was deepened, tbat he did not trouble to avoid her eyes. He seemed unaware of her. "May I alt down a few moments?" be asked. Something had happened, aha realized, that had drained him of his last strength. "Ploase," she answered. He settled on a chair that faced hers. 'Things have changed," he faltered. "It's pretty bad. It will be hard for you. I've been to see mother. She she " "Hates me and Is deeply hurt," Marsha supplied, levelly. Again she glanced toward the roses that bad come wltb that card of dear and warming message. "No, not that," be answered. He drew a deep broath, squared his shoulders, took a clgaret from s leather case he always carried, III It wltb bands that were far from steady and then went on. She's III." he stated flatly, "very III; It's cancer. 1 could not tell ber. You can Imagine how sbe would foel over my telling her we wore to be divorced. She has been, I know now, too happy over thinking I bad you." He rose abruptly, droppod the match to a tray; settled once more. spoke again. "After she told me about herself and Llewellyn of St. James Hospital says she can live no more than a year she went on to tell me of how happy she Is to know I have you." He puffed hard on his clgaret. There was silence; "I couldn't tell berl" he broke out; "couldn'll I couldn't bear the thought of hurting ber and the shock might have meant" ularsha Inferred the rest of his statement. "1 did not ask tor a di vorce." she said, "nor do I want one until you do, and in every way. . . . And If I can help you, and help your mother, I do so want to!" Sbe saw his eyes brim. Sbe ached to draw his head to ber breast and to bold It pressed tightly there as he did her best to soothe him. help blm. It Is a great deal to ask of you," he murmured wearily. "No." she contradicted. (Cetmikt. I'Si, at . r.wi Bob and Martha tvolve a plan, tomorrow. ADDS GREATLY TO CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK, Ore. (Spl) Effort! to determine how iv region of uch rare beauty aa Crater Lake can be made moat aat iBfylng to visitors have brought highly desirable results, reported Dr. John C. Merrlam, president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D. C, under whose direction these efforts have been carried on lor sometime past through the cooper ation of the national park service. He was a visitor In the park this week while en route north from Berkeley, Calif. Dr. Merrlam has taken an active Interest In Crater Lake for many years and In the area has perceived Ideal conditions to correlate esthetic and scientific values for the propel appreciation of the thousands of visitors annually arriving at the scenic wonder. The Slnnott Mem orial observation station on Victor Rock, along the Inner rim near the lodge, has been given especially careful study by Dr. Merrlam aa a direct a! 2 to make this appreciation possible. The station has developed Into one of the most popular at trar t Ions for park visitors who, through the use of Its equipment, would more fully understand con ditions which make Crater Lake possible, as well as enjoy It far reaching scenic beauty. j Nine high-powered glasses In four divisions present the story of Crater Lake. Four glasses, trained on lm-' portant rim points, tell of the origin of the mountain which once stood on the present site of the lake. Two are devoted to the forming of the crater. One tells of the origin of the lake, while two are trained on the exceptional beauty features of the rare scene. The glasses are supple mented by display cases containing lava and other specimens directly connected with the history of tbe lake. E Mm CRATEH LAKE NATIONAL PARK, Ore. (Spl ) Emerald Pool, an unique body of wtiter along the rocky shores of Crater lake, Is returning after an absence of two years. During the I summer of 1931, it was plainly visible i to thousands of visitors from thr Sln nott Memorial on Victor Rock, a short distance from the lodge, but the fol lowing two winters were so severe the pool was covered by great depthu of snow which the summer sun could not melt. While relatively small when viewed from the memorial observation sta tion, 1000 feet above, the pool Is of fairly good sire and of an Intense emerald color. For the past two weeks a big drift of snow has been gradu ally receding, exposing' the highly colored waters which in years past have never failed to attract the at tention of all visitors. It has also been the destination of numerous boat parties. SEYMOUR, Mo. (UP) Chas. Har gus, 31, stood In a freshly dug grave, pitching out the last shovelful of dirt. As his shovel flashed aloft It attracted a bolt of lightning, killing Hargus.
