MEDFORB MAIL TRTBUNEMEDFOtlD. GREGGS: SUNDAY. AUGUST T(5. "1936 PA(TE EIGHT THE WORLD 1 WITH A FENCE A Ntro Navel by Marian HYSOPS1S: Carol Torranat fiat hat told her very delight"' lamtlti that aha ia leaving tham next month to teaoh echool in Aahboro, Go, Uilly, her mother, duller! and objeote; her eieter Jill aoeepte the neioe matter of factly: Pat, the gifted member of the family, un deretandt perteotlg. But Pat con ease the lonelineaa inproapeot tor him while ahooling golf with Carol, and Carol exaota a promiee ram Pat that he will keep on with hia writ!" Chapter Three DON KICKS UP rON ' RICHARDS appeared that evening unexpectedly, bis ha bitual grin burled under an air of perturbation. It waa Don whom Carol had considered marrying because be was solid and amiable, and because bis magnificent body and exquisite cleanliness tricked people Into thinking him handsome. He walked In without ringing, and confronted Carol In the living room. "What's this about yon going to Ashboro?" Carol stared at him. The almost Indecent Intimacy of small towns, had she said? None of the family bad been out of earshot since she "This whole thing sounds first brought the matter up tor dis cussion. "Will you please tell me where you beard that? And sit down, instead of glaring at me like a trafflo cop." He sat down with an air of lm- permanence. "I saw Jim Henley In the drug store, and be said be'd recommended you and that he Imag ined you'd take tbe Job." "Ob. he did? He knows an awful lot" She was unreasonlngly Irri tated with Jim Henley for speculat ing on ber decision In a drug store. "You're not going, are you, Carol?" His eyes begged ber. They were blue and Ingonuous, and she looked away from them. He got up and walked the length of the room, a bablt he had when be was worried. "Let's go to ride. I want to argue with you and I don't want you run nln' out on me." "All rlgbt Let me get a bat" It bad to be faced, she knew. Don was part of ber life In Meredith, and like Meredith bis Image was dis torted, enlarged, by the Imminence of separation. He talked aimlessly until they reached an unfrequented road. Then he turned on her. "Listen. Carol: Ihle whole thing sounds screwy. What's the Idea?" CHE meant of course, to tell him what she had told Mllly. She tried to tell him that and be brushed ber words sslde like gnats. "You wouldn't go to another town and teach school for that Your sal ary won't go any farther there than your Income does here. You're Just checking out aren't you?" His voice sounded furry blurred. She watched the flow of pave ment beneath the lights. The car seemed stationary, while a soft August night moved past them. She was rather like the car, she thought: standing still while her lite went by on the wind. What was it the Red Qneen bad said: that you bad to run very fast to stay In the same place? And much faster than that to get anywhere? Don looked at the road and waited, and she bad to tell him the truth. If a man loved you, that was the least you could do. LOS ANOELES, Aug. la (API- Superior Judge Goodwin J. Knight Mid today that "Mr. George Kaufman had better have a very good excuse for leaving California." lnlormed that the peripatetic play wrignt had given out an Interview In New York after disappearing for a week. Judge Knight reaffirmed hts intention of enforcing a bench war rant Issued during the Mary Astor Dr. rrankljn Thorpe child custody eaae. Stmt "I guess I am, Don. There's so little point to the way I live." "He said surprisingly: "There's not much point to the way anybody lives. Ashboro's no different from Meredith; don't kid yourself about that." "I'm not But ! don't Intend to stay there." "You mean . . . you're not coming back?" Her throat ached Intolerably, and Don's arm was across her shoulders. His arm had been there before, and the sensation had nover gone be yond a pleasant warmth a sort of tempered pleasure: It had never ap proached the s word-like ecstasy of BUI Faraday's embrace. But BUI Faraday was In New York, and tbe dust of five years lay thick on tbe memory of blm. He sensed her uncertainty, and with one band he wrenched tbe car Into a deserted side road and stopped. "Carol ..." He bad both arms around her, and bis mouth was hunting hers. She gave up and kissed blm re luctantly. But It wasn't the sort of kiss she had bad from him before. She wrenched herself away final ly and sat, shivering, In the far cor ner. She was intensely angry, with , herself as well as with blm. sorewy," deolsred Don. '"WOV overplayed it Don. Let's go 1 home." "It you think 1 did that purpose ly . . ." His voice was savage, and It sounded as If he had been run ning tor miles. He knew be had lost ss surely as Carol knew It. Tender ness might have broken ber, but she despised blm now for touching a string she badn't known was there; that Jarred discordantly in her ears. "I don't," she admitted shortly. "It wasn't your fault at all. I suppose It was perfectly natural." Natural. Damn nature anyway, with its Insensate urge for pep petuatlon. It used sneaking, under band methods to achieve Its end; It hit below the belt You saw samples everywhere: grossly mlsniated men and women who endured each other for the sake of tbe children." But unless you had a mind like Evan Torrance's you didn't see them like that; you saw them as good, sub. stantial people. And It you could see them that way, Carol reflected woarlly, yov were pretty lucky. ... Neither of thorn spoke until tbe car bad stopped before her owr door. Don's eyes were wretched, and she smiled listlessly at blm. Sbe felt limp and spent aa If the hot wind had burnt out her emo tions. Doubt gnawed at her again: perhaps sbe too suffered from Pat's fault of eyeing the other pasture. . . . Marrying Don would simplify lite. and heaven knew she bad neither desire nor capacity tor a spectacular career. But life with Don would be a monotone, and she wanted an oc casional highlight even If she paid for every such moment with a com plementary one of black despair. She raised a hand and touched his face, and he snatched at the band and kissed it "Listen, Carol: let me come over and see you some time." "It I think It's any use." She could tell better when she was away; right now she was too close to see blm clearly. "I'll write you." . She opened the car door but be drew ber back and kissed her again, very carefully. She reallied that he was trembling all over. (Copyright. IMS. hg Harlan Stme) Carol meets In Ashhoro. a friend, tomorrow, "The law Is no rejpector of persons bs they prominent, rich, Intelligent, dumb, or stupid," said J"Hee Knight. Several d&ya ago Judge Knight re marked. "I'll put this man In Jail If 1 ever get my hands on him." Kauiman said In New York he left California by train and reached there Wednesday morning. The playwrlRht said frankly there were many questions he did not care to answer at this time. One of them waa whether he would return to Cali fornia where he faces a contempt ol coujt citation toi having refused to answer a subpoena to appear aa a witness at the Astor trial. He remarked that he would Just as well lorget the whole thing. "1 feel mat 1 have been In the pub llo eye Ion enough, and I think the public might be glad or ought to be glad, to get me out ot lt eye."

Hudson, English explorer and navi gator, waa set adrift in a small boat upon the vast waters of the bay that now bears hla name. Hla seven year old son, a few loyal sailor compan ions, and Hudson himself, were never heard of again. Lucky Indeed was the explorer who reaped even the slightest reward for his feats of valor and daring In the new world for, in frail ships they braved the dangers of their voyages unaer an ill star. Where fate allowed them to return to their homes un harmed, they suffered heartbreaking neglect, death or Imprisonment at the handa of the men for whom they had risked all.
