him) "do you?"
"God knowa I don't, Marsha!" he
answered heavily, and he aaw teara
brim In her eyes. He puahod her
heavy hair away from her forehead;
running hla hand over her forehead
and across her hair.
"We're not going to worry about
anything. Marsha, except the tact
that I waa brutal last night. I want
yon to know that It will never hap
pen again. Can you believe me?"
"Yes. I've never once really
Joubted you. I"
"Quiet, dear."
He made no fight against the well
ing of tenderness that filled him.
She was frightened, pitiable and
lovely, with her hair lying dishev
eled on the linen of her pillow.
And 111, she was hla a he had
dreamed she would be; his to care
for. And he would care for her, so
long as she needed him,
Aftor a moment she relaxed and

you understand? I won't lot thorn!
Do your hear me, Maraha?"
"No ons It going to

"My darling!" hs thought; hie

bothers you full ot buckshot!" he
promised.
Klie laughed snstoadlly.
"We'ro only going to bars that
worthy M.D. com In her to give
you a pill and feel your pulse and
tell you that a few day In bed will
'adjust th matter' soe?"
"Y yes " she whimpered.
Ills touch had helped her, soothed
her; bo was elated by the fact.
"Breakfast next," he said and
against her hair, "understand? A
real one, coal miner's sice! Tea or
coffee?"
. She laughed a little unsteadily.
She said, "Tea, I think, this morn

I wondered whother I might, please,
bring Mis. Powers' breakfast up
now?"
"Yes. And make It a good one,

, "I will, sir, thank you, sir."
Marsha drew away. Bob rose.
"Now suppose," b suggostcd, "w

She shuddered; 'ie smllod down
on her. "Thoy haT their placo!" he
stated, thinking, with a wry twist
of heart that, for her, he might be

unsplced foods from which the

Tarleton'a deflections a part In her

"Yes. She had shown me those

IN AUTO PLATES
Roundup of foreign auto license
plates In this county by the state
police has resulted In Issuance of
close to 100 ' new Oregon licenses.
The foreign licensed autoe were
chiefly from California, with scat
tering plates from Arizona, Alabama,
Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Nebraska,
Kansas and Washington. For a
week new licenses were issued by the
sheriff's office at the rate of 15 a
day, according to Chief Office Deputy
Ol ga Anderson.
Among the Callfornlans required to
procure Oregon licenses were a few
autolsts with established residence
In this county for a number of years.
The California license costs $3; the
Oregon plate 5. .
The state police are continuing the
campaign. Similar moves are under
way throughout the state. The main
activity of the state police shifted
this week to the hop fields and prune
orchards of the Willamette valley.
