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?"

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.
