SFHTIE MMMME 61 wul'blM: Bob Fowert de mands that Martha divorce him and relutet to listen to her explanation of the incident with Oeoffreu Tarle ton which hat caused the etorm. Tlieu are at a New York hotel. But Bob has none to eee hit mother, and has learned that the it danger ouslv ill. He teart that newt at the imnr'ft'na dtvorct may kill her. Chapter 24 THE DECISION BUB crushed hie cigarette to a llreless, corrugated aro on a tray, and hands clasped, and frown ing, be turned thoughts, quandarlea, Into words. "I're been considering erery phase of It," be confided; "I've walked about a good deal since luncheon time. 1 left mother then. I thought of what It might mean to you, this hold up. I don t want to hurt you. "It Is what 1 want," she told him, Again she met his bewildered, Questioning look. "Suppose." be suggested bluntly, "Tarleton tires of waiting for your Of course, you eould explain, but" "You need not consider that," she assured him in1 a little bitterly. "It won't be," he paused to rub a clinging shred of tobacco from his lip. and then, able to apeak again, he continued with: "More than a year. Of course," his voice was un steady, sharp, "It would be vastly better for her to die believing a He of us. Could you, do you think, with out too much wrong to yourself, to . your chances for happiness man sge Itr "1 couldl I wllll I wish you could believe that 1 want tol That I want nothing so much I" she replied, For a moment be covered bis face with bis big. tbln, tanned hands. "I'll never be able to thank you for It," she heard. She smiled: she waa. aba felt, thanked dlspropor tlonately for that which abe longed to do: tbanked by hla trust and by his asking ber to do something for him. Hla hands dropped. "You will stay with mother," he said, and as If he were Issuing an order. "I have to fln Isb my work; no one elae can; but I'll go right along and hurry It through to come back. I have decid ed tbat'a safest. And I shall trust you not to do anything tbat might make her suspect the truth. You can tell Tarleton why you are going so cautiously and afterward make It op." "It la not necessary for you to think of that ... of Geoff as being, In any way, connected with met" ahe responded; her cheeks bot, her voice unsteady. "We need bava nothing to do with one another aave before her," Bob atated, without heeding Marsha'a outbreak. Her anger died. "1 quite under stand, she said dully. "An occasional kiss or two, and gentle words," he murmured, "Dec enary, those pretenses." A muscle at the corner of his mouth twltcbed. To pretend these frail sign posts to all tbat he bad felt, to lose hla two women at one time. "I am a weakling," be thought; "I'm letting It down me!" "I understand, Bob." "It may not be very long," he said again. 1 CUE leaned toward him to lay ber J band upon his. "Oh, Bobl" she said. He felt her sorrow for him and It almost melted him; hut he saw, too, that "exhibition." the one that bad ended bis erUsy for him Marsha In Tarloton's arms: Tarle ton's lips crushed against hers. 11j rose bruskly to leave her. She heard the door of his room close against her. hut he had asked ber help and she had that fact to treasure and she would Help him and lire In his house. And dream of blm as having lived In It, and dream too of how ha bad loved ber, and know bow she loved blm. And bow ahe could love him with ever the chance for It again. But fnlnt, that chance! Ills square, firm chin! And how she loved It, and him! The next mid-day found her set tled In the Powers house and by the tea hour she could see the way ahe waa to follow. "When are you going to start for Mexico?" she asked of Bob that eve ning when tbey were, for a mo ment, alone. "When I am certain you know the way around." he answered. "You trust me 7" ahe questioned. "1 am going to trust you," he said, and almost grimly. The mirthless smile ahe was learning, a smile that had roots In pain, appeared at that. "People deal so," she commented, 'with bad ULtiw cnuureo aoo. morons to whom evil suggestion means evil action. But you don't need to build up tbla particular part of me. You can trust me without being dramat lo about It and without assuring me a bit too loudly tbat you will trust me. As It happens, 1 am having a chance to play the role I moat want to play." . He stared at her stupidly. Difficult to believe, and yet she seemed most sincere. "I love your mother; some day you'll know It, 1 hope," abe said slowly. Then Mrs. Powers joined them. . A few days and Marsha knew the road well; a road that waa wholly new to her. She was used to women who looked upon ber wltb fear or a thin ly veiled scorn, and to those who looked away from her or over ber from Intention, but she waa not used to any woman's looking at her wltb a smile tbat revealed an abso lute trust. Tbla did something to ber that produced an emotion utterly un like any ahe had ever bad before. It made ber say, two daya after abe bad taken up abode In the old Pow ers' house, "1 wish you wore laced or buttoned shoes!" "And why. dear?" aaked Mra. Powers, as ahe looked up from her endlesa knitting. "Because I feel that 1 would Ilka very much to lace or button them." Mra. Powera smiled because Marsha waa smiling, but she thought, as she considered the qual ity of Marsha's smile, that Marsha was much upset over Dob's coming departure. After Mra. Powera smiled, she answered In a way Marsha would have once termed "appallingly Huffy!" "1 am afraid. If 1 did wear either of those kinds Instead of low slip pers. Hannab would want to lace or button them." Mrs. Powers ex plained carefully. "You see, Han nah has alwaya done tblnga of that sort for me, and she would be hurt If she thought hor work criticized by my relegating It to aomeone else. Don't you think Hannab Is a nice name?" Marsha said ahe did think Han nab was a nice name, and together they agreed tbat It aounded strong and durable. I am quite certain," Marsha add ed, "that It would waah without fading." TIER new mother said, "Yea, n dear," aa sbe decided tbat her Bob's wife must be very clever, be cause she said so many things tbat she. Bob's mother, could not quite understand. Theirs was a curiously easy fall ing Into adjustment. None of the Jealousy which will sometimes live In the hearts of the best of moth era, was left to the faded, fading woman; all petty emotion waa crowded from ber by the vast re lief which rose from tbe tact tbat Robert would not be "lonely." Marsha left him much alone wltb his mother. She made blm Ond It easy to meet her. She became, through her will, the kind, un erring tactful stranger, unless Mrs. Powera were near, and then, ahe became his wife. Those were his most difficult mo menta. The skill wltb which she helped him to help the woman who was to die, hurt blm beyond all words. He could believe nothing good or true of ber. after ahe looked up, smiled, and said: "My dear. we've missed you dreadfully; You're been gone several thousand years, I thlnkl Tell us what men do at clubs, won't you?" or some like. seemingly affectionate light, happy greeting. Of course It waa what he had sked her to do: It would be bldeous It she faltered, but beavensl how he wanted ber to falter! To tell him thus that ahe did not He easily. It was a relief when the calen dar told him that only a week was left before he must go back to hli work which was work that no one las could do. A relief, and yet torture. Again and again be made himself believe that Marsha would not meet Geoffrey Tarleton, because she bad said she would not. And then, a smile from her and every belief would crumble. Ha would see Geoffrey Tarloton's tight ening arms; the bend of his head nd he would hear his wife's words which bad been spoken to Geoffrey Tarleton; words that told why sht had married him, that told him thi whole grim talel (Cetrmti. lJ4.

(AP) Discovery of a new inactive crater even larger than the famous Anlakchak near the tip 'of the Al aska Peninsula was reported today by Father Bernard R. Hubbard, the gla cier priest, after a month of hard ships and adventure. Unprecedented floods, encounters with giant' Pavlof brown bears, sep aration and near disaster ber el the expedition In the unexplored region between Pavlof volcano and the tip of the Alaska Peninsula. "The party left Its base camp here on June 22 for the fantastic Aghlleen pinnacles, a group of weird and needle-like peaks visible from the sea coast but hitherto unexplored and uncllmbed," Father Hubbard said. One of World's Wonders. "The pinnacles constitute one of the unnamed wonders of the world." Carrying heavy packs of scientific, camp and photographic equipment, the party trekked through virgin 1 country over mountain ridges and , fording unknown rivers and lakes un-; til It established Its final camp at J the base of the Aghlleen pinnacles. Good weather which marked the trek inland deserted the expedition as they prepared for tbe climb. For eleven days torrential rainstorms flooded the entire country, maroon ing the party and exhausting the food supply. Eighteen Inches of rain fell In three days, swelling the rivers and turning the whole area Into a huge Inland lake. Another "Crater of the Moon. "The moat Important discovery," Father Hubbard said, "was a huge blown out and greatly altered crater, another crater of the moon. The Aghlleen pinnacles and other nearby mountains being merely radical ridges to the hole In the earth which I estimated Is much larger than Anlakchak volcano In the cen ter of the Alaskan Pen Insula, "The original circumference of this new Inactive crater mass Is es timated at close to thirty miles i around and Is filled with rivers and I lakes, smaller craters and lava flows. I "Dozens of brown bear were sighted from the camp at the base of the pinnacles and on two occa sions the giant animals came Into our camp during the night to steal meat. Bear Olves Frlcht. "Edgar Levin, while breaking his way through some alder underbrush, surprised a ten-footer who charged him without warning. "Quick action with an automatic rifle by Levin and a final vital rifle shot by George Peterson, our Alaska guide, dropped the Infuriated Pavlof monster less than his own length from Levin who was so entangled In the alders that retreat waa Impossi ble." After a few days at Its base camp here the party expects to continue Its explorations. 40 ET 8 PRESIDEN E TO T ATTE PICNIC FARE SALEM, July 31.
