PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY. APRIL 7. 1935. sis BYNOPB1B! ill Nete Ooncord'e beet people are trying to (aire Jamee btimeon, III. away from Leelie Borne and hand him over to the wealthy Jane Northrup body and eoul. Jane hae engineered matter until the hae been aeked by Jamee' Aunt Sarah ae hie part tier at a dance at the Btimeone. While Jamee ie trying to "eauare hlmeelt" vlth Leslie. Barah telle him that "that drunken ifr. Harrie hae arrived not eeelng Leelie Handing behind Jamee. Chapter 19 MR. HARRI8, TIGHT JAMES fairly leaped forward and caught his aunt by the arm, turn ing her abruptly about and away front Leslie. "Is he beret" he asked, urging her Impetuously forward. "Ob yes, and In a terrible state. He's come for Leslie and he says. . ." James did not wait for more, but dropped his aunt's arm and ran. When he reached the dancing plat form at the further end of the lawn, he found the music stopped and the dancers crowded together at one end of the platform whispering and gig gling and watching John Harris who stood Just below them on the lawn, wearing bis old-fashioned frock coat and bell crowned hat and Bwaylng tlpslly to and fro as he leaned heav ily on his gold topped cane. "Have no fear," said Harris. But Howard and Jackson Crowell stood one either side of him vainly urging him towards the house. The whispering and giggling slopped abruptly as James came forward. "Good evening, Mr. Harris," he said pleasantly. "Won't you come Into the house with me and have ome supper?" "Good evening, Mister . . . Mister Btlmson," answered bis uninvited guest, speaking at first slowly and distinctly and meticulously dividing his syllables. "There is nothing, sir, you can offer me now or at any other time. I have coma, sir, for my daugh ter Leslie, a rumor having reached my ears lata this evening that she was not a welcome guest la this pica yunlsh provincial assemblage that makes Itself a laughing stock by try ing to apa Its bolters of the great world and calls Itself society. Soci ety!" Hera he laughed, a great bois terous shout and then calmed him self and frowned. "But I must apolo gise to the ladles presont. 1 do apolo gise from the bottom of my heart jit Is, 1 assure you, sir, a matter rather tor tears than for laughter, but alaa my aense of the ridiculous sometimes betrays rae. The first i families of Kansas!" A GAIN ha laughed, laughed while the tears ran down his cheeks and ha could barely stand, while be kept repeating between paroxysms, "I do apologise. 1 do apologlta. But It really Is side splitting." "No doubt," said James somewhat grimly, "but suppose we go up to the house and talk It over. 1 am afraid I we are delaying this dance." t "In a moment, my young sir, In a moment And In the meantime please be so good as to take you hand off my arm. It happens that 1 have a great aversion to being pawed. In my youth, when there were still a few men left In this country who might properly be celled gentlemen, 1 would have run a man through tor less affront than yours." (James hastily withdrew his arm). "But have no fear. Have no fear. My blood has cooled with my years. JUNIOR HI GLEE All members of the cast of "Don Alonro's Treasure, an operetta In two acta presented by tha glee clubs of Junior high school Friday night, exceeded themselves In the most suc cessful musical production, finan cially and from an entertainment standpoint, the school has yet pre sented. The story is set In Spain and con cerns the lost treasure of the home of Gonzalez, which Is located after many trials that glvs opportunity for good music and comedy situations. Jeanne 8Isd. as Elaine, and Franklin Jones, as Billy McNoodle, gave especially commendsble per formances and shared the applause wlUa bay Uusou ax.d John PranUca, , - f GREAT RICHES I If you will conduct me to my daugh ter, young fellow, 1 will wipe the dust of this household oft my boot and guarantee to wlthdaw myself and any member of my family from a canaille which has dared to look down upon us." "Come on, Mr. Harris," Interrupt ed Sam Fletcher, who chose this moment to appear from the shad ows. "You know I never looked down on Leslie. Come along with me and we'll hunt her up." "I'm here," said a little strained voice and Leslie stepped forward, her eyes red but her head held high. "Come, Father, come along with Sam and me and we'll all go home." Mr. Harris' high-handed manner suddenly forsook him and he began to cry. "You've been Insulted, Leslie," he sobbed, "Insulted by a bunch of riff raff your grandmother wouldn't have wiped her feet on. My God, Les lie, when I think of your grand mother . . ." "VJEVER mind, never mind," ' coaxed Leslie urging him for ward and out of earshot. Bam had his other arm but James stuck vali antly to their beeis, Insisting that ha and no other should drive them home. Miss Sarah, who stuck as persls- "My blood has cooled." tantly to James as James to Leslie, was forced to demur In no uncer tain tones, pleading James' duties as host, which her nephew Im patiently waved aside. "Of course you have got to stay and look out for your guests," inter rupted Mr. Samuel Fletcher In bis loud truculent voice. "And since I brought Leslie to the party I'd like to know why I shouldn't take her home." "Please, Leslie . . ." persisted James, but Leslie avoided his plead ing eyes and turned to Sam. All the life, all the sparkle had gone out of her and It occurred to James he bad never In his life seen anyone look so tired. As the three drove off, Mr. Harris still sobbing and protesting weakly, James could have cried him self. Of course It had to happen at his party. Of course it had to ba the mutt who bad the good luck to be chosen as Leslie's prop and staff in stead ot one who would have given ten years of his life to have spared her one moment of humiliation. But ha would sea her tomorrow. Ha would show her as tactfully and delicately as he knew how just how much ba respected her and looked up to her. None but a little thor oughbred would have faced that giggling crowd as Leslie bad and gone off with her head held hlgb and not a suggestion of apology. Oh, he would tell her, he would show her. . . . Damn tha miserable old dance anyway! Damn the miserable heart less brutes who bad laughed at Les lie's shame. They weredanclng again, gay and excited and happy as If they had not Just watched a girl's heart break and her line courage In bear ing it a girl so much finer than tha whole pack of them that tilers wasn't a single one fit to tie her shoe laca. Ha could not face them. He would not go back and danca and listen to their snickers and Innuen does. The least he could do to show his loyalty to Leslie would be to go off some place by hlmsult and suf fer with her. Copyright. 19SS. itateet B.

BURGESS TO DIRECT As director of the light opera, Fra Diavolo, Ralph Burgesa, has a Job of considerable magnitude but no one could have been chosen with a wider background of experience for this re sponsibility. For years Ralph has 1 been Identified with the theater; In fact, he was really born Into the at mosphere of the stage, his father and mother both having achieved fame In opera and In the drama. Added to his responsibilities as di rector, however, he will essay the role of Beppo, one of the robber co horts of the bandit chieftain, Fra Diavolo. But here again experience stands him in good stead for, with the Boston English, the Dunbar and the American Light Opera companies, Ralph has played this comedy part numberless times, receiving flatter ing press notices from critics wher ever the various companies appeared. Olacomo, the companion cutthroat to Beppo, will be portrayed by none other than W. F. Qulsenberry, now a sedate business man of Medford, but formerly associated for years with the old Boston Ideal Opera company, a troupe that made operatic history throughout the east and middle, west. As a comedian "Quiz" Is without ft peer and his impersonation of the tatterdemalion brigand puts ft lot of laughs into the show. St. Mark's Altar Guild, which Is sponsoring the performance, has set tha rifttt? definitely for the second week in May which, appropriately enough, is National Music Week. Fra Diavolo will be Medford ' contribu tion toward Its observance. CLOTHES ON CHAIR S-fMWS WR BED. KICKS Off SHOE'S WJD ?ELS SWEATER OFf CLIMBS OOTOffftoU Stfts ArJD TbSSES friEM.
