PXGE EIGHT MEDFORDMSIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1935 glMORNING STAR kgjfjSg3 zy Marian Sxms BYXOPSIS: Emily relto ha found little to interest her in Eliton, alter graduating from eoU lane. Bhe has even lost touch with XiaviA end Judith Carroll, and lot' ino David viae a wrench. Be it in China, trying to target the lose of the beautiful Carroll plantation In hard work. Emily ie rebelling eaainst another year of time-killing ae the socially very worthy libra rian at the Sleton public library. Bhe telle her father and mother ehe wants to go away. Chapter It WORD FROM DAVID fryHERE on earth would you go? ' Frances asked. "To Birmingham, perhaps. Any where where I could really do some thing." Charlotte was still In Birm ingham, eating It up. "But what would you do?" Fran ces' voice had a staccato quality. "Anything that came up. News paper work, perhaps. I can write pretty well." Bhe felt childish and Incompetent. "Or I could teach. An Ardmore diploma's quite a boost." Frances began to recover. "I never beard of anything so absurd, Emily. To leave us alone and go off and live In some warren In a city. With out any experience at all." , "There's only one way to get ex perience," Emily pointed out, "And that's to experience things." ! Still Jpftry was silent. He looked 'o'"' " " '"r heart "But It Isn't absurd, It ached for him. If only she could make. ' them see ber side of ltl She was al most twenty-tour and she wanted first to be tree for a while, and then to marry. And If she stayed In Elston there would be Edwin. Not a chance of anything else; only Edwin. Some where in the world there must be a nan with David's charm and Ed win's stability a man she could not only love but marry. But you couldn't say: "I want to marry some day, and there's no one here but Edwin. And since the Lord helps those who belp themselves I must get out and find someone.", You couldn't put it that baldly, even though you knew, and they knew, that you spoke the truth. "I did hope," Frances's voice had .a plaintive note, "that after four years of college we'd have you at 'home for a while." "But you have," Emily Insisted. "Over two years." Frances appealed to her husband. "Jeffry, tell her how absurd It Is." Even In the candle-light his face was white and drawn. "We'd miss you, honey," he said simply. HER eyes burned with sudden tears. She loved blm unbearably, even more than Independence, but she clung to the thought of Inde pendence like the drowning man to bis straw. Knowing that she snd the drowning man had about the same chance. "But It Isn't absurd, It it?" the pleaded. "No," he eald gravely, "it Isn't ab turd." Frances gave up any pretense of eating. "You're being at ridiculous at Emily! You know how you've en- Joyed having her here; how you've looked forward to It, and hoped that eventually " the broke off. Emily knew the hope! It had to do with Edwin. "And now you're taking her tide and aurrasMng that she go to some city and lira like like a tene ment worker!" "I'm not." Even Jeffry, Emily knew, willed before the fire of hit wife's convictions. "I'd be lost with out her, but her wanting to go Isn't absurd. And I'd tee that she didn't live like that." FIVE YEARS FOR THREATENING F. R. KANSAS CITY, Sept. 17 (API ror writing a letter to President Roosevelt, threatening to "blow up your White House."

Bregman waa arrested by secret trvlce men here July 11 after writ Jng the letter. His return address waa on the envelope. They rose from the table. Frances went stiffly out to give the servants orders (or morning. Emily and Jet fry, with their arms about each other, walked alowly towards the garden. Emily stopped and faced blm. "Would you really be lost without me?" '. He didn't answer for a long time. "I'd manage somehow," he said at last. "It had to come eventually." But his voice had broken, as ha spoke. It was the break that did it. If thers had only been six children, sbe thought, It would have been very different. But she was all he had, and she worshipped him. She flung herself Into his arms, crying against the rough linen of bis coat. "I'll stay." He didn't even trust himself to speak. He held her close and patted the back of ber throbbing head. THE following week brought a let ter from Judith, occasioned bj the momentous news It contained. "I waa solnr to make another at tempt to get you down hare." (Ju dith wrote), "but Mother Nature, If you want to call It that, tricked me. I'm finally going to have the baby a boy, I hope, named David Carroll Morton, and I'm having a fou time.

And David Insisted that he would never come back She road the rest of the letter through a mist of tears, and answered it al most immediately. Judith'a loyalty to their friendship touched her to deeply that ahe always wrote two or three letters to Judith's one, and felt that the proportion was not un reasonable. Early In October Edwin waa called to New York on business. It was the first time he had been awny for mora than a day or two since Emily had been at home, and she was aston ished to find that ahe was lost with out him. If she hadn't always enjoyed Edwin, ehe had at least been occu pied with him. When Edwin wai there she knew what she was going to do with her evenings. He wrote dally: stiff Utile letters like himself, with an occasional note of yearning between the lines, like the expression she sometimes sur prised In his eves. The business was progressing satisfactorily; he waa enjoying New York and seeing some excellent shows, but he would much prefer to see them with her (Copyright, f?JS, by Jfarfnn Sttne Monday, Emily makes a decision albeit a sad one.
