PAGE SIXTEEN' MEDFORD M ATL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIIj 15, 1938. - . A Bt BLANCHE i11" FERGUSON The Story Bo Far: Jumping .. horjs over the sacred boxutoo hedge surrounding Good toe's Choice in the Maryland hunting district, Reuben Otitier is thrown and injured. Reuben Is in love with Judith Goodloe but hit self-ir-ode fortune lin't enough to make him acceptable. Judith blames him for delaying the pro posal he expected from dashing Gary Brent. Red-headed Cissy Rogers, in looe lolth Reuben and jealous of Judith, delays It still longer by walking off with Gary. Chapter 10 Gary's News "TTOS moment when Judith came x to me w ar 01 nu room 10 asn how he was, marked a high peak In Reuben's life. The nurse had gone to breakfast. He was alone Then, almost as though his long ing had brought her, Judith, In blue linen, was standing In the doorway. "I hope you're feeling better?" Speech deserted him. "You had a dreadful spill." Her voice was soothing. He found his tongue. "It was your fault." "Mine?" "You were laughing at me." His shoulders against the pillows in voluntarily slumped a little. "After that I couldn't make the grade." He looked very young this morn ing. She saw his eyes, bronze, un fathomable. She was unable to draw her own from them or to deny his accusation. "It's true," slowly, "I did laugh." "I deserved it. That's why It hurt." She was remembering last night long, wakeful, miserable. "Sorry. I won't do it again." He couldn't think of a thing more to say. Strange! He had al ways been ready with words to bend men to his will. Ready with a smile slow a trifle indulgent that women found fascinating. , Judith turned to go. Ho must keep her just to look at her gave him a feeling of exaltation but he lucked courage. While he sought for it, light, quick feet came uown the hall, and Cissy stood by Judith in the doorway. ' He had forgotten Cissy "Ha, Lochinvar from out of the West! The trusty sieed had his little fling, I hear!" Her arms were filled with flow ers. Her face above was bright as the morning. "I'm sorry you could not come last night," she greeted Judith, "we missed you." "Sweet of you." "We danced until morning in your big old .'ooms. Rube. Then we had a swim and breakfast" She dumped her armful of fra grant blooms on Reuben's bed and turned again to Judith, "I brought Gary back to you." "Sweet of you." With a smile for Cissy and a wave for Reuben, Judith went. Jealousy, the first she had ever known, rage, and a faint shame went with her. Gary got to hi feet when she stepped out upon the porch. He was immaculate in a blue serge ju:t out or Bond btreet. Oood morning, darling!" He ignored his desertion of last evening. "Just seeing you starts the day right. Aren 1 1 the early bird?" "Which reminds me that I haven't fed the peacocks. Want to come along?" 'She's A Honey' SHE led the way to the kitchen garden. From a peg of the grape arbor she took a small bas ket of grain, and opening a little wicket gate, walked down a red brick path, under apple and peach trees, past clipped raspberry bushes with fruit coming to per fection; until she came to a wired enclosure, where, with the morn ing sun turning their plumage to glory, a half dozen peacocks strut ted proudly. "You missed a great time last night," Gary fumbled with the gate's fastening, "Oliver is fixing the place up fit for a king." "So Jim says," Judith Bung a handful of grain to the oncoming fowls. "Jim drifted in before the party was over." "Jim if always drifting some where late." Gory smiled remlniscently, "I'll bet he was sorry he didn't come earlier. It was that kind of party. They were a friendly crowd. ' "Aren't Western people always friendly?" Where was the rapture of yesterday? Gary said: "Great hostess Cissy. She," amusedly, "keeps thincs humming." "She looks like a child." "Older than you. Almost 23. And what she doesn't know about planes!" "You're keen about them?" "Who isn't? She's been taking off since she was a kid before she was old enough to have a license." "I didn't know." She must 'ike more interest in planes She's en gaged to Reuben Oliver?" Heavens, no! Cissy's a celeb rity She can marry anybody!" "I didn't know." "Read your rotogravure," ad vised Gory. "For a while everyone thought C. C. Rogers was a man. nd when they found out the dare Jevil was a redheaded child Isn't she a honey, Judy?" "Reuben Oliver is a very rich man," Judith's thoughts followed that line persistently. "Money hardly counts with the Rogers." "What else would count with that sort of people?" Miles Apart GARY looked at her from good natured blue eyes. "What's the matter with you this morning, Judy?" "Guess I'm upside down like the house. The whole place smells like a hospital." They found the bench where Judith had waited last night. They Suddenly there seemed a lot she didn't know. sat down, side by side. Miles apart. What had happened that life could be like this? Gary lighted a cigarette. Judith involuntarily touched his hand that cupped the match. He smiled at her above the flame, his easv good humor quite restored. "There's no one like you, Judy." "I'm beginning to believe it," grimly. "Bluffer, you've always known It. After I've been away for awhile Just the thought of you makes me homesick." The soreness left her heart. He always came back "Was that what you wanted to tell me?" "S-say! I never did get around to that, did I?" "There wasn't time." She could believe that now. "Best news you ever heard," Gary exhaled a spiral of smoke, "I wrote you about Gnlbrcath, a capitalist I met in London?" "Yes." "He owns mines and timber all through the West rolling in wealth. I posted him for a few clubs. He was deuced apprecia tive. Proved it. I'm to manage his timber holdings In California. Ne vada, Oregon a crackerjack job." At first she did not understand, then knew she was expected to say something, something con gratulatory "But can you do you know nything about it?" Practically nothing, but I can learn bluff while I'm doing it." "I see." Blood drummed in her ears. "It was a godsend to me," Gary confessed. "Like Custer I was about to make my last stand. But now watch my smoka!" The drumming in her ears in creased to a roar. She could hard ly hear her voice above it. "You're going away?" "Almost immediately." (CrViU. 1911.
