She had heard the sound ot a car starting and in a minute he was back. "There. Finished? Come on." The shabby dark blue Rover was outside. As they came cut Into the main road, he looked down at her and asked, "You believed my letter, then?" "1 didn't even get It You see, my stepmother burned It. And I've run away from home."

"So you see, 1 didn't get your letter. Only I 'elt that If she could go to those lengthB, tearing up my letters, and lying about me, she must be lying about you, too," she wound up breathlessly. "And and I thought I'd come and ask you myself. I just want to know tbe truth." He said contritely, "It's all my fault! I've been a complete tool not to trust you from the beginning." "You mean, telling me " "That story. Yes. i realized last night, when you wouldn't listen to me, wbat an abject, utter ass I'd been. If you know how I've worried alt night! I tell you, I was on the point of going to the police." "But why?" "Tt's rather a long tale. Let's And somewhere where we can talk." They found a little basement cafe with bright copper covered tables. It was 12:15. The place was Just beginning to fill up but they chose a table, out of range of listening ears. Even after the waitress had taken their order, they sat for a moment Just looking at each other Oddly satisfying, just to sit and look at him and smile! "I'LL have to go right back to the beginning, to Just over a year ago." he warned Alison, "or you won't understand why 1 didn't tell the truth.

Alison breathed that and the band under tho table gave an answering squeeze. "Yon see, I'd Just started In prac tice out In Nice. I'd sunk all my capital In It and things were going rather well. My patients were mostly rich old ladles who had nothing to think about except their health and they liked m to call and see them even If they'd only a cold. "It wasn't the work I'd have chosen for myself but I'd bad pneu monia badly and I'd been told the best thing 1 could do was to live out In a warm climate for a bit, so I did my best to cheer them up and cure them and keep their minds off them selves. "Anyway, things were going quite well when one ot the villas In my beat was taken by an old man and his wife. He was English, a retired Jam merchant, and pretty well off, to Judge by wbat be spent; she was a lot younger and well, I won't say what I think of her to youl She tried to make love to me, among other things which isn't a habit I'm fond of in my patient's wives!" She said Impulsively, "Oh, my dear, I am so sorry about the other night! I mean what I said! Only It hurt me too, and" "Don't worry! I knew you'd been euwuwiwwvi'iWW!!"! , 4 i home I" said Altton. hearing a lot of lies. I wouldn't have written to you, If I hadn't known that!" " , Two bands and two pairs of eyea can say a great deal. "VTHERE bad I got to," he asked. ' "Ob! Well, anyway, tbla old man waa 111. I could aee that all right. But bis symptoms weren't In order. Sometimes he'd be almost well for a long time and then be'd have a relapse and nearly die for no reason at all. "His wife pretended to be terribly concerned about him but 1 knew for a fact that she waa running round with a forolgn gigolo and I grew rather suspicious. Anyway, I watched, and got my nurse to watch, and we noticed that tho old man's relapses always came after nurse's time off, when tbe wife had been nursing her husband herself. So I took tbe bull by the horns and In terviewed the lady. "I told her that 1 did not feel satis fied and that I Intended to move the old man Into a nursing home. She lost her temper with me and cre ated a frightful shindy but I stuck to my point and told her that unless she consented, I should have to get a specialist's opinion. "That scared her and she gave way. 1 made all arrangements to move my patient the next day and I warned the matron of the home that he was not to be left atone with his wife. 1 went 'round myseli to see him moved and found hlra gone. "Oone?" "Yes, She'd chartered a special plane and whisked htm off by air to England! About three months later. I saw a notice of bis death In tbe London papers. But I'd one satisfac tion, anyway. I noticed In the list of wills that he had left nothing: as It turned out bo'd sunk It all In an annuity. So she didn't make any money by what she did.'

Page and their two small daugh ters, Doreen and Corrlne, set , out from their home In Edmonton, Al berta, for a fling at adventure In the 'States." They found It. While staying with a brother of Mr. Page's in Orange. California,, the family was held up and robbed by an armed Intruder, and over 8300 m money and Jewelry was taken. That was an unpleasant adventure, but they have many pleasant ones to off set It, they admit. They have travel led 33,000 miles In the western pit of the United States since April, vis iting all of the national parks, and all of the western states. Mr. Page Is retired from the Can adian postal service, and the climate at Edmonton Is a bit too high tor his health. Southern California is a bit too low, but Medford is ideal, he thinks. Consequently, he and his family have decided to live here. At least they Intend giving tho Idea a six-month trial. They have settled on a small fruit ranch on route a, with a cousin, James Virtue.

GALAXY OF STARS IS VEILING CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. June 35. (AP) Discovery of a hitherto unkown galaxy of stars, one of the Island un iverses nearest to the earth but un seen because of obscuring meteoric dust, has been announced by Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of the Har vard University observatory. Dr. Shapley said the spiral galaxy, which has been tagged "I.C342," Is the third largest spiral In the sktes, and Is situated not far from the milky way. Its diameter. Dr. Shap ley added, la probably not more than 10.000 light yeara from the earth. "In angular dimensions." the Har vard astronomer explained, "the spi ral Is larger than the moon at Its full. It Is, in fact, the third largest spiral now known; the larger two be ing the great Andromeda Nebula and that known as Messier 33." Related discovery of the galaxy was made through recent long exposure photographs with tbe telescopes at the Oak Ridge station of the Harvard observatory and It was announced by Dr. Shapley last night. Dr. Shapley said the nearness of the Nebula to the Milky Way delayed Its Identifica tion. The central nucleus of I. C. 842 was first noted more than 40 yeara ago by W. F. Denning, an English amateur observer of shooting stars and comets, but he failed to see the spiral arms, which are only revealed by photographic plates. " ' .'.MM 0h did you forct I I Oakdale!
