PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOltl). OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1934 SYjudilhW Mari anooraon i by JEAXXK WOII'.M.I.V iNOPSIB: While on tr ..ttymoon. Uartan and Lon Catad uud tuet the tract of land Lon hue been looking for to develop Mo a community or beautiful email homee lor people of taete but no meant. Lon and Harlan ore tn their own home, and Lon te pueh ino work on the othere when he learne that a eeoretary hoe de camped with all the moneu back OJ the echeme. Uarlan triee to com fort Lon bv the time-tried cake and coffee method and drope the cake. Chapter 22 THE LOAN "T OOK, Los. 'twasn't Baltimore '-'at all, It was tha Montana bad lands." Lon looked down on tbe crushed cake. 'It's easier to eat that way," be said valiantly. "Doesn't take so much chewing." "Glad tbe coffee wasn't on the tray. It would have ruined the rug." She sped back to tbe kitchen, re turned, poured two cups of the strong black beverage, and handed him 001. They salvager tbe cake, nibbled on It wondering It tbe broken glass plate bad left any splinters In It. After the coffee pot wss empty Marian curled up beside Lon on tbe divan. Silence while the Are crackled, then "You see Ian." Lon began, "what worries me most Is that I'm Marian, binoculars to her eyes, read the story In the droop of hli shoulders as he left tht car to open the gate, but rushed down to meet him with Hero. "Meet one of the army of tbe un employed," was Lon's greeting, as be stopped the car to let Marian and Hero oln him, "Lon," cblded Marian, "you're conceited. Imagine a man thinking be could go Into a strange town and pluck a One Job off the first tree." "I tried more than one tree, Ian," countered Lon seriously. "Of course you did, dear, but you mustn't feel downhearted because you weren't successful the first try." "I'm not downhearted because of that," be Informed her, "but be cause of tbe attitude of the men 1 Interviewed. They asked me why I didn't go back to Cleveland where I belonged. You see 1 had to tell them I came from there." "rvlD you tell them you owned property here?" "I told one man. He said If I hsd enough money to own property be'd better give bis stray Jobs to some: poor devil who had nothing at all."! "Of course building Is picking up' again," Marian Insisted, "and by tall It should be In some sort of shape." I ARCHIE! DEFEATS "What worries me, Ian, Is that I'm broke." brUu.', Uat broke. I was so sure I could wire for money and have It here wltbln twenty.four bours that I paid cash tor everything. "The worst of It Is, 1 gathered thai crowd of unemployed fellows to do tbe road work and I haven't the money to meet the pay-roll Sat urday night." "How much do you need?" "About live hundred dollars. I sounded baton out on a loan and you read tbe answer. 1 could try to mortgage this placo, but mortgages on orchard land won't be looked upon with favor. I might try to sell the car but 1 don't believe I'd get that much and" "Lon, 1 have some money. The aunt who sent me to school left me a thousand dollars when she died. I've spent some of It, but I believe 1 have six or seven hundred dollars left." "As if 1 could take money from you." "70D could borrow It," Marian Insisted, "you could borrow It at five per cent. I'm only receiving four percent at the bank and It would be sucb fun to have you pay ing Interest to me." She forced a laugb with some success. "And where would 1 find the In terest?" he asked, unconvinced. "You'll find work right away," she assured htm, "and Lon, It would be better to borrow It from me than to let those poor fellows do without their pay, wouldn't It? I bave you to take care of me and tbey probably haven't anyone." "It you'll look upon It as a busi ness loan," he conceded and she no ticed be had brightened perceptibly. "I'll go out and find myself a Job In the morning." Marian saw him off In the morn ing, running to tbe hilltop to wave with her wlap of an apron, sod run ning back later In the day to watch for blm. The hours passed. Mount Diablo turned from purple to green and then to dark blue as the sun spanned the valley and moved on, and then Into the rocd that led to their home came Lon's car. "And how will we live until fall?" demanded Lon, a note of Irritation In bis voice. He swung tbe car Into the drive way and brought It to a stop before the house. "Well, Lon, It's nearly July now, you bave the nuts and fruit to har vest, we have food enough-to last us for months and anytime we want to run up borne we can have as much more " "I'm not living off your folks," In terposed Lon. Marian started to retaliate, then remembered It waa the hurt pride of a man speaking, checked the words and put others In their place" we can trade them prtnes and walnuts without tbelr knowing what It's tor, can't we?" "Don't worry, I'm not down to the barter and trade level yet." "Lon, listen," Marian's red balr was beginning to bristle. "1 think you're being a rotten sport. I know how you feel about the money. Lan sing gave you tbe worst deal pos sible. But surely you have enough backbone to face It like a man. I don't like the way you're talking to me. My folks came out here In tbu early days when thero was nothing but barter and trade and were glad they had something to exchange with the next fellow. I'll bet your mother's people did the same." "I'm sorry, honey." He threw bis arm around her shoulder and nuz sled his head down Into the warmth of her hair. "I'm Just so ... so sunk at thinking that maybe I won't be able to keep you . . . gosh, It scares me. Suppose I lost you." "Try to lose me and see how far you get with It," whispered Marian, divided between laughter and tears. The storm blew over. Tbey bad their dinner, then went out to the hilltop to watch night move slowly Into the valley, to watch the alrl beacon on Diablo flash Its ruby and! white beams. (CuvritH. ItH.

An architect with profitable bus lne&i until the depression, Monroe, a descendant of President Monroe and Tyler. Joined the army of unem ployed, toured five states with his family seeking a job and finally moved hla wife and six children to this island, and, in primitive fashion, started anew. Instead of designing office build ings and skyscrapers as he did In New York, Springfield, HI., and In Florida, he started reconstruction of an old house that had been destroyed by fire. The sea cast driftwood upon the shores and the children were taught to haul It above the tide marks. With a boat, an axe, hatchet, a few household utensils and a tent, he fashlolned himself a one-man par adise, two miles from the mainland. He has a vegetable garden. He catches bis water In rain barrels. During the clamming season he makes 3.60 a bushel, and In one week sold 14 bushels. When school started Monroe rowed the children to the mainland and called for them after classes, "We've Just begun to live," he said. Only 300 persona obtained divorces during the same period.

FOR BABIES ASSERTS EXPERT AFTER STUDY; AMES, Iowa . ( UP ) Old fashioned mothers, who Insist that their leae-than-three-year-old babies get a good nap each afteroon are pretty close to the right formula for raising chil dren. You have that on the word of Mrs. Lucy R. Lancaster, director of the child development department of Iowa State college. "Study the sleep habits of the small nursery school pupils ot low State college has convinced us that the child who sleeps soundly and long In the afternoon will sleep more soundly at night," Mrs. Lancaster said. And sound aleeplng at night con tributes not only to the welfare of the baby, aha pointed out, but makes parents much easier to get along with. "The Monday nap at the nursery school is the hardest nap of any day, and often thw shortest." Mrs. Lan aater added. "A disrupted schedule with possibly no nap during the weei end probably la the cause of this." Physical difficulties often keep a child awake and restless, Mrs. Lan caster aald. Uncomfortable bed cloth ing, hunger, Indigestion or over-fatigue are common causes for sleep lessness also. "Worry and fear may be the cause of sleeplessness." she said. "Lack of of an uninterrupted dally nap ached, ule la one of the moat common rea sons, however."
