PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFOIiU. OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1934. G Amu SjLfuxiS by SYNOPSIS: It began vk Bar. vey Bowert, unexpectedly in eharge ot a cargo of wild animal en route to Singapore, engaged Ivy Qreen at helper. And now, at the rotten old 8. 8. Boldero wallowe along the Borneo eoaet, Bowere. rich and a hunter of tig game, aeke Ivy to marry him. Bne eaye ehe ehoula not accept him, and he aeke why. Chapter IS OR LIFE "DECAtJSE," aha laid, "I think that you feel the way that yon do because you are a young man and I am a woman, and we have been thrown together." "Isn't there another aide to thatt' he auggeited. "You are a young wo man, and I am a man. and we have been thrown together." Her unexpected anawer moved him Uke sudden trumpeta. "It there had been a million men," lie said, "1 would like you best" "That makes me teel pretty damned humble," said Bowers. He rose on the Impulse, telt and stum bled his way around the capstan and sat down on the edge ot her mat tress. "I don't hear very well," he said, and bis voice shook a little In spite ot blm. "What was It you said lust now?" "I said that It I had been thrown with a million men and you were one ot them, I would have liked you best" It waa very dark In the triangle of tbe bows, but that night the stars were Inordinately brlgbt and it seemed to him that she waa a visi ble glamor. Hie handa which trem ' bled found ber shoulders. "We will be married." he said, "the minute we get to Singapore, but Singapore la a long way from here." "I know," ahe said. "I don't know what I believe. But It there Is a Ood He Is everywhere and If I said here and now that you were my wife and that I'd give you a square deal until death came along and made a mess of things and If you said that I was your husband and you'd do the same by me. He'd be oar witness." She mads no reply. As a rule a woman'a silence means one of two things. It either meana yes or It means no. It Is a kind ot speech of whlcb every man must be his own Interpreter. The next morning when Bowers and Flint met for exercise with the Improvised medicine ball Bowers displayed a Juvenile and Irrational (ayety. To the least rattectlve it must bave been evident that here was a man who delighted In being alive and he flung the medicine ball with unnecessary force and fervor. Flint could hardly stBOd against the Impact and bis looks darkened. Jealousy springs more quickly to conclusions than any other force in nature At breakfast Flint perceived what another might not bave noticed. It was no more than a subtle change In Mowers' attitude to Ivy and hers to him. It was casual aa always, but the casualness seemed forced. There was an undercurrent of tenderness and Flint had the desolated feeling that tbey had reached an under standing, but be could not be sure and be felt that he bad to be sure because the torment ot uncertainty was so great ALU through the morning and early arternoon Flint watched for an opportunity to be alone with Ivy. Tbo opportunity did not pre sent Itself until the work ot caring for the menagerie was over for the day. At luncheon there bad been an ar gument between Wong Bo and Bow ers aa to the way In which a certain hand should fcsv 'teen played tbe night before. They ad agreed to meet at four o'clock la Captain Wong Bo a quarters and thrash the matter out scientifically. Ivy reclined In one ot the lounge chairs, her eyes half closed, but after Flint came along and aettled himself In the other chair, they opened, and she noticed that his expression was still dark and glow, erlng. It had been dark and glowering all day. Knowing perfectly well tbe state of his feelings toward herself. Ivy at once telt sorry for blm and at the aame time hoped that he would continue to leave those feelings un expressed. "1 don't often get a chance to apeak with you alone." said Flint He was not reclining In his chair but FRENCH OYSTER WINS PLACE AS PALATE TICKLER PABI8 (UP) In rranea. tha eyi tor has replaced tha frof. After on of th, mewt hitter tronomte struggle, of the egee, th, delirious bivalve, from the French and Portuguese coaata have been at tached to the French menu. Kill Hon of Frenchmen now eagerly await the coming of each September, when the reatauranta announce the "grand arrival" of ahell food. In th yeara preceding the war. oysters, including the cheaper Portu giiece variety and tha expensive Ma wine, were consumed largely by the gourmet,. Thry at them like kid, at peanuta at a clrcua. mostly by tht bundle). It pot betes eioepuoa- Cjcuvwutem Mcvul sitting bolt upright on the edge of It "I keep plenty busy," said Ivy, "and I ought to be dressmaking at this minute." She had not liked the tone ot the voice In whlcb be bad re marked that he did not often get a chance to talk with her alone. "And It you don't mind," abe continued. "I'll run down and get my work." "Can't 1 get It for you?" She was already on her feet, shak ing ber bead and smiling. He accom panied her to the head of the narrow stair by wblcfa the passenger cabins were reached. Flint watched her until she had turned Into the pas sageway at tbe foot of the stair and waa lost to view. For a few seconds he stood as one who Is undecided. A wave of ugly emotion swept him. His brows gath ered into a knot and be went reso lutely but softly down tbe stair. The door ot the cabin In which she changed and kept her things was alar. Tbe dress wblcb she waa mak ing was folded into a towel. On tbe top ot thla neat package rested a neat little sewing-basket ot Malay weave. As he came opposite the door a plank In the ancient decking creaked and she faced quickly about A woman less experienced In the ways of men than Ivy might bave been terror-stricken at tbe ex pression ot his face and the husky broken quality ot bis voice. "You got to listen to me," he said. "Willingly," said Ivy In her most natural and untroubled tones. "But It Is much too stuffy down here." SHE) picked up the halt-made dresa, wrapped In the towel, and the work-basket But Flint bad come forward until he almost filled the narrow doorway. He bad one toot Id the cabin. There la no use tclklng on deck,' said Flint "It la too public." "Haven't I anything to say about that?" she asked. He made no answer, but went on with what ha had come to say: Listen," he said: "I've got money coming to me. Plenty of It 1 know how you're fixed. You're up against It But what's mine Is yours. That's what 1 wanted you to know." "That's awfully kind ot you," said Ivy In an even voice. "But you're mistaken about me. 1 have a good Job waiting for me In Singapore. Thanks for tbe offer Just the same." "Yon don't understand," aald Flint thickly. "1 want to marry you. I guess you know I've been rrasy about you ever since you stepped your little foot on tbls ship." "I am aorry," said Ivy. "You mean 1 don't stand any show with you. You don't give a damn about me." "1 do give a damn about you," said Ivy, "and I have liked you very much. Please don't do anything to epoll that." Man's Jealousy teems with Intui tions. "What makea you think you got a Job waiting for you?" he said. "Who promised It? You didn't bave one promised when we left Slnbao. You haven't received any radiograms. and either you bave made It up In your bead, or you're trusting to someone who hasn't tbe reputation for keeping promises." Tbls kind of talk Isn't doing any good," said Ivy. "It won't get you anywhere." Asking for what you want never does get -a man anywhere," aald Flint "A man's got to take It" He atepped suddenly all the way Into the cabin and pulled the doot shut behind him. Ivy was horribly annoyed, but not frightened. She was not afraid of tigers. She saw no reason to be afraid of a young man who was wiry rather than strong, and whose emotions bad momenta rily unseated his reason. 1 wouldn't touch me It I were you, she said. "1 bave a good pair of lungs and If you don't open that door and gat out ot here. I'll put up a yell for help that wtll Da heard clear back In Slnbao. Be yourself. Look at your face In that mirror: you look aa If you were going to have a stroke. Does apoplexy run In your family?" She had put down her sewing and faced him, her eyea narrow and cold with contempt and her flats clenched. She bad noted the exact position In Its rsck of the besvy glass drinking water bottle, and abe had ao maneuvered that Ita narrow neok waa within easy reach of her right band. She was strong and vigorous. ICefyrtlil. ItH, H Cemrett tlirru) Tomorrow, glass moots Flint. al for a gentleman of capacity to eat zoo at a anting.

Oysters are aold on th, street corners and delivered to the home on big platea .lust In time lor dinner. It seems probable that lth the triumph ol the oyster, aome smart chef will atari rooking them, and tha oyster may take the place of Irogs and snslls, which, alter all, were best known during the siege ot pans, when there was no food, But lots ot Imagination on the furl of hungry cooka.
