PAGE TEN MEDFORD MATL TRTBUNE. MTCDFORD, OREGON", SUNDAY. MAT 2. 1937 By MARGARET WIDDEMER. SYNOPSIS: t. .nftU manage to forgtt buy Denny when she learns he is to wed wealthy Afittt Resuming her aunt's baking business, she finds contentment In her beloved old house and orchard. "Uncle" ' Henry and serious little Judge help her run the place. They , adore Eve. So does George Clave . land, her steady dependable ' neighbor. But he tires ol uniting and becomes engaged to Ellen Walton the same weekend' that Eve realizes she really loves him. Watching his house one night, sha sees fire, runs to waken George. In the smoke, struggling with crazy Lance Seymour, she loses consciousness. Chapter 40 Eve Admits Her Love EVE was lying In the ihelter of the treei near the pool when she be came conscious again, her head on a rolled up coat. George's coat, under her cheek. She opened painful eyes to see him In his drenched shirt sleeves, anxiously bending close, wet ting her forehead. Nobody else was near. She could see a red gleam through the clump of trees and hear the shouting of the firemen. "Your work . . she said vaguely; 1 got all the records for youl" -' "Eve, Eve, you might have been killed!" eacii ottier, they could not bear to live side by side. Even if she had wanted to sleep, there was no chance of It for the rest of the night Mettle, John and Ad riano bad to be put up; there wu coffee to make for hysterical Mattle and exhausted Adrlano, there were the beds to make, the salvaged vsJ uables and furniture to be piled on their porch by tramping firemen. Eve, feeling suddenly more awake than anyone on earth, forgot ber aching head and worked with Uncle Henry. After everything was lettled down, Mattie, too frightened and shaken to stop talking, sat on by the parlor fire with Eve. "Lance Seymour's dead!" she told Eve, coming back after a word with a last burden-bearing fireman. "Mil lard Buck says he was dyln' when Mr. Cleveland pulled him off you. In side the house there, beam fell or something. 1 guess he didn't suffer. Lance and you and the picture was In a heap Inside the hall door. Well, poor Lance, I guess 'twas for the best But that house, 'twas a fine old an tique. I can't gtt over that house burned up. Seems like It was my own workln' there all summer." They Loved Eaeb Other AT another tuna Eve would have been shaken by pity and grief and excitement as Mattie was. But nothing mattered now, what with the blow on her head and her ensuing weariness . . . Except the ribbon of fire that crept through her at George's I'vMr'r Wit He caught her dose to him. "Eve, you love me" "Might I?M ihe laid It dreamily. 'But you'r safe, and the records. That's all I cars about," She would ot have said It It she had been en , ilrely herself. She realized what she had admitted when be caught her elose to htm. "Eve, you love me. You love m.M She could not pretend any longer, the was too tired. She said weakly, ''Yes, 1 do love you. You shouldn't have made me tell you." She could smell the wood smoke In his hair hts cold roughened cheek gainst her face, his arms holding her trongly. She lay still, then suddenly she kissed him back, clung fast This moment, this one, surely she could have Presently she tried to push him away. ! "IV mustnt. There's Ellen." TU break with Ellen. 1 love you and by a miracle you love me, that's til that matters. You said you did." MI do. 1 never knew 1 could love nybody like this. But you belong to somebody else. That's between us. It must always be. I can't hurt anyone who has been what she has to me " 'Lance Seymo ra Deadl THE pool's full. Git some water off the pooll" A man shouted, elose behind the trees. She stood up. A. group of firemen were forcing a length of hose through the thick windbreak of pines. "Not much chance, I'm afraid, George," the village fire chief said as they tugged. And ttien Judfe, half dressed and ixcited and smudged, was upon her, begging her to come home. Mattie aid she had been knocked down. Uncle Henry said she had to go home ind he was to take her. She followed the wild-eyed child, taint and shaken. She said to the fire thief as she passed, "No hope? "No hopo ' George answered her ind added savagely, "I'm glad." She tnew what he meant. And she was glad too. Knowing that they loved name, and the wild delight of what had happened. George loved her as she loved him. Even though tney couldn't have each other ever. They had told each other, they had held each other fast. They loved each other. She had It to keep lifting hex above everything, forever The illogical happiness held her still next day. There was no time to think. Everyone In the village poured into her bouse or called her on the telephone; nominally to give orders, actually to hear about the flre and poor Lance's death. Son of magnate, himself well known scientist, nearly burned to death said the New York papers falsely and played up romantically, after giving Eve a line or two, the dispossessed son of the old line, who had been killed while burning down his own ancestral' home. The older Cleveland, hurrying from Southampton, were at the Inn where George was staying. And in the afternoon, excited and shaken and flushed, Ellen drove In, "Eve darling! You'll have to tuch me tn somewhere, can you? Eve, I'm so grateful to youl ..." Ellen talked on in the new happy way while Eve established her in her usual room. Of how bad it would have been if George had lost all tht charts and seedlings and calcula tions.. Of what he would do nobody could make him plan yet, she said. He seemed badly shocked, but Ellen was so happy because he hadn't been hurt that sho coilld think of nothing else ... of how lovely Eve looked, how well Judge was. . . . None ot it broke through the shelter of happi ness that had surrounded Eve since she knew George cared tor her still. Presently Ellen, too restless to stay far from George tor long, was In the little car again, driving to the village Inn, back to him. (Copyright, 1917.

The tour was brought to an qbrupt end In Yyoto wben a Japanese fanatic almost killed the Czarevitch with & sabro cut. Headed back for Russia via Tibet, Nicholas was approached by a holy man who requested permission to read his palm. Always superstitious, he agreed. The holy man studied the lines on the royal hand and spoke. "Prom the funeral of a near- male relative, thou will go to thine own wedding. Tbou aro In danger, but thou wilt escape, and If thou completest the fiftieth year of thy life, thou wilt die . quietly In bed. X see much blood In the lines of tby palm; therefore, be thou aware that only a good man can be hnp- py." N.e.iQlns wus much Impresseu. He had good reason to be. On Nov. 1, 1894, the ckot of Russia died. Twenty-five days later Nicholas married Princess Alice ol Hesse and in May he was crowned czar. Here again, omens pointed to disaster. At the height of the cere mony, the imperial chain. on his breast fell to the ground. At the coronation festival. 3,000 people were crushed to death in ft fight for gifts which were being given out in cele bration, of the eveut. As cznr, Nicholas' life was In con stant danger. Hardly a trip he made failed to result In the death of an attendant by assassination. Among the aftMfifil nations he witnessed were those of bis minister of the Interior, a prime minister, a grand duke and two presidents of the police. The 16th of Tuly, 1913, brought death to the czar at the age of 60 years, two months, in the form of a hall of lea;i from a revo.uclonary firing squad. With him died his wife, four daughters, his only son, and several servants. No-lllt Debut A rookie's dream come true might serve to describe the feat Charles "Bumpus" Jones performed lu' the first game he ever hurled in the major leagues. It's rather doubtful though if even the most optimistic of rookies could stretch his Imag ination to the point of visualizing pitching a no-hit game In his big league debut. Yet, strange as It seems. Jones did and made his dream come true. Fresh from Joliet for whom he had Just finished pitching 18 consecutive victories wherein only 16 runs were scored against him, Jones took tho box far Cincinnati on October IS, 1893, and Immortalize! himself by holding bis Pittsburgh opponents httless through the entire game. FELLER'S ARM INJURY IS SLOW IN HEALING CLEVELAND, May 1. ( AP) Bob Feller's "million dollar pltchlnn arm" was little better today after four d;vs of treatment, and his physician said such injuries ordinarily require two or three weeks and "sometimes long er" to heal. Dr. E. B. Castle, the physician, said he did not expect the Injury tear ing of a few fibers Just below the elbow would keep Feller out for the season. In Feller's case, ho said a "week or so" of care may be enough. Use Mall Tribune want ads.
