PACE TEN K'.S OKCHATTO By MARGARET WIDDEMER MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, fEDFORD, OREGONT. THURSDAY. MAY 6. 1937. Chapter 44 Pure HappioeM GEORGE hurried ttralght to hr with fan like I happy boy's 'and hli handi outstretched. It wasn't Itrue it mustn't, couldn't be true. Bui it was. His arms were around her 'closely and desperately as U she weren't real, as If she would vanish. "Listen, dear love. Don't speak. Don't try to get away. It'a all right All right always." - She tried te move from him. weak ly. Ha pressed her head against his shoulder, sitting by ber on the low bough. "Walt wait till I can be quiet enough to teU you" he aald a little unsteadily. "It wasn't any use trying to lie to Ellen. She said she knew it was true. She said Eve, 1 hate to tell you this, out she said 1 must that she'd known I didn't love her But she thought 1 would not know ing 1 loved you. She said she aald, when you were engaged to Carter she told you she cared and I didn't" 1 "I know. I've been her confidante from the first That's why I couldn't hurt her" Eve said at random. "She aald she couldn't be so wicked as to hold what belonged to someone else. Eve, In heaven's name what made you refuse me the other night, the night of the picnic?" he ended harshly i "Because I waa stupid. Because I didn't know you were asking me. If you will believe It, Georgel It was when you went away 1 realized bow much I loved you. George, 1 was going to tell you I did love you If you still wanted me when you came back from Sharon. I had found It out" Laughter After Tears HE said abruptly, as if giving her something in return for what aha had given him. "I waa going to marry her because I was desperate. I'd lost my last hope of you." "1 knew. But oh. George, my poor Ellenl" "She said," he told her huskily, "to tell you she had her work and she had her prayers, and It wasn't the end of the road." "Oh, she la so wonderful!" Eve broke down, crying for brave, steadfast Ellen as she bad never cried for berself. "That's enough," George said. Think about me now. Eve. Do you know I'm not sure of you yet? I've wanted you so long, and It's been hard. Make me sure, my Eve." She leaned to him, pulling him close, kissing him. "Be sure." After a little she laughed how good to laugh foi pure happiness! "And what about the 'child hang ing round your neck'? I'd forgotten all about poor little Judge!" "Judge baa been as much my re sponsibility as yours all summer, you foolish child." He paused for a mo ment and spoke more gravely. "You know what my mother's like. Eve. I've never had a home. These eve nings last spring in 'your old back parlor, wltb Uncle Henry and you and the kid, and Dad now and again Why. Eve they were the nearest to a home 1 ever bad. I want to go on with that, and more our own children, our own roota and our memories and associations. "You're so gay and lovely, so made to be the center of thingsl Sometimes 1 wonder If 1 ought to expect you to be happy with a man like me. I'm not brilliant or amusing, or even awfully fond of wild parties. I love you so that I suppose I'll try to give you whatever sort of life you want even If you are like Mother, hating home life and staying In bed except for affairs. But I'd hate It I want you the way you've been this summer, my close friend and companion, as well-as this." t 1 Know 1 Want Roots' PRESENTLY she moved a little from him, the better to answer. The Eve of a year ago tonight might have laughed, might have reassured him with half-mocking extravagant words. This Eve answered as slowly aa he had spoken, and as quietly: "I want that too. George. Com radeship and understanding, as well as love or maybe as the best part of lovel 1 want our daughters to play house with the old lacquer cabinet and remember it alwaya in the same place; and our sons to have a place they'll always remember ss home: trees they've alwaya climbed and trienda they've alwaya known. I 1 know 1 want roots, for mine and me." Her lovely brown eyes smiled at him "But even If I didn't like the lite you like, dear. It would be better than any other life, because It was shared with you. You see, George, 1 believe 1 love you very much In the same way you love me." George, sa he bad told her, was not a very articulate man. He only held her tight there In the golden autumn orchard and said "Eve darling!" That Eve or last year might nave been mocking, evasive. This Eve only raised a slim tanned arm and broke a great golden yellow apple, one of those George's work had brought to perfection. Our orchard Is bearing well." she said softly. "Shall we go home now?" THE END , STRANGE AS IT SEEMS By JOHN HIX For farther proof address the author, Inclosing a stamped envelope for reply. Reg- IT. 8. Pat Off. L OF TOLO EXPLAINS By Mrs. P. A. Tracy, School pirector TOLO. May 8. (Bpl.) In one way or another a false light has been shed on the Tolo school situation To those whom it may concern, would like to give a true picture. So far aa the finances of school district Mo. 98 are concerned, Tolo la very fortunate In having three . corporatlona paying the bulk of Ite taxea, namely Southern pacme ran road, California Oregon Power com pany, and Oold Ray Realty, also a number of fine dairy rancnes, or. chards and email forma. Aa long as thla condition exlste the school would not become a burden. The building la one of the beat and prettleat In the rural districts. Prom and after July 1, 1933, school must have an average dally attendance of six puptla to receive an apportionment of the elementary school funds unless they suspend under section 33-1138. Oregon code 1930. Acting under the advice of the die. trlct boundary board of which C. R. Bowman la secretary, at a special meeting on April aa, by a vote of the people, this aohool was suspended ac cordingly for the coming year. The average dally attendance for thla year waa lens than four. Prospective pupila to be transport ed or have tuition paid in some other school are one 7-year-old girl, one 8-year-old girl and one boy who will be 6 soon. For a number of yeara Gold Hill haa run a bua over the Old 8tage rood around by willow Springs and back through Tolo, so that would seem to be the logical solution to the transportation problem. However, the wishes of the parents will be taken Into consideration be fore the board of directors, of which J. K. Oreen Is chairman, win make any further decisions.
