jAGE TEN M"EDFOTD MAIL TRIBUNE, TirEDFOUD, OREGON, RTTNDAY. "MAY 15, 1938 7k& if By BLANCHE MITH FERGUSON The Story So Fan Judith Good loo, of an old Maryland family, marriei Mlf-madt Reuben Oliuer or hiJ money only to diecooer he U bankrupt. Al"r their tmine are born, red-headed Ciuy Roy erj, who iovee Reuben, get him a Job in a lumber camp managed by Gary Brent the man Judith lovtt. Reuben if a lohter and try ing to live by Judtth'i codee hae weakened him. Alter a violent quarrel with Judith over Gary Reuben decidee to make hie oum lauu. Thie neu Reuben it a etranger to Judith, who U In a dream world with Gary, Chapter 35 Society In A Lumber Camp A ND no Ufa ran placidly a river r of gold with enchantment and allure Tjeneath iU surface. Ro mance 'floated with the tide and Love was waiting tc take the helm. Every commonplace hap pening took on a glory beyond comprehension. To accept a glass of water from Garys hand. To have him telephone her and say quickly: "You, Judy? I've got to go to the woods nuisance but I've got to show up on the work occa sionally." "How long are you staying?" "A couple of centuries until Ihe day after tomorrow, really. Will you miss me?" "As if you didn't knowl" Happiness radiated from her. Just to come home hungry, dis card riding clothes for cool cotton nd sit down to one of Lu Wing's simply arranged, perfect meals! Sometimes a shadow appeared on the golden river of her days Reuben. He came home for week ends neither eagerly nor reluctantly well mannered guest who fell In with whatever project was on hand and before he went away asked for the household bills, paid such as he could and laid the rest aside. Gradually the cabin at the top of Winding Hill had become the most popular spot in Camp Site No. 2. People dropped in and found tea was always served at (our forty-five to the minute. Served easily and graciously and quite as a matter of routine. They began to stop for pickup suppers en Sunday night or for a chance breakfast after the dance with one of Lu Wing's delicious omelettes. In a small way Judith was dis pensing the Goodloe Choice brand of hospitality. Establishing a new social order in the camp at the edge of the forest. "The beautiful Mrs. Oliver!" People were acutely aware of her. "A Maryland Goodloe, my dear!" One of the officials' wives made the discovery, "A gorgeous creature with the air of a prin cess" "What about him? Has she a husband? Isn't that handsome young Brent extremely attentive?" Gradually they oleced together few naif trains aoout neuoen. "One of those freak, romantic marriages Oliver had millions for a brief while " Gossip spread. An ambitious natron with a sub-deb daughter at school in the east was quick to ee the advantage of knowing a Maryland Goodloe. "It may mean an invitation to the Bachelors' Cotillion, who knows? We might as well run up to the camp tor awhile. After all there's nothing really of importance going on in town until November." One by one the cabins opened. Big cars with chauffeurs smartly uniformed purred up the hill. Ladies perfectly coiffed, groomed and wearing mostly smart black frocks alighted a case of the mountain coming to Mahomet. Judith accepted her sudden vogue calmly. She sent to Casper Street for her silver, crystal. Cissy's rug it. was superb on the cabin's big, darkly polished floor. She made quantities of tea. Lu Wing baked innumerable tiny wafer-like cakes "Are we trying to outrival New port?" Reuben asked sarcastically. Orgy Of Spending OVER the week ends Reuben shared in his wife's popularity a reflected glory. He was greeted everywhere with a new cordiality at the pavilion oy the Com pany's officials on Saturday night, on the golf course on Sunday morning. On Monday morning Reuben became a woodsman again. He tried to remain one over the week ends declining invitations. As September, October went by, Judith allowed herself very little thought of the future, as is the way of those happy in the present. The .lrst imperfection that ap peared upon her horizon was when Hike belatedly presented his bill. The amount shocked her During the first couple of weeks In her new environment, Judith had spent Reuben's neney timid lythe horror of ioblcis days in Fordncy's Gulch still upon her. Gradually it lifted. Tie new order so right, oO plenrnnt, established itself firmly and now -Pike's bill! "I It must be wrong." Judith ! figured, added, aubtracted and added again reminding herself, rather pathetically, of Gran. Sha could find not one mistake. "I'll do oetter next month," apologetically a new attitude for Judith. She handed the rumpled paper to Reuben, "I didn't realize how much I was spending." He glanced at the amount Near ly as much as his month's salary. He opened his lips to tell her so. To say that this wild orgy of spending must stop. Then he re membered that he had vowed to be as good a man as Oary, and after all, a few pounds of tea, few eggs was not exactly reckless expenditure. "Is It necessary to entertain tha entire camp every day or so?" "N no. Most of them have gone now." Judith said. "We can be thankful for that." "I enjoyed having them," frank- ly-He folded the bill neatly. "This will have to wait until next month. I paid Cissy I thought that would please you." "It does." She had almost for gotten Cissy's existence. "Is she still at the Curtis camp?" politely. "Yes." "I should think she'd find it dull." Reuben had a quick vision of the Curtis Camp with Its ballroom, its motion picture theaters out doors and in its pool, golf links. Guests arriving and departing. Zipping down the mountain to Hollywood, to SBnta Monica "How about asking Cissy down here next week end?" He said It casually, yet it was a command not a request. Judith didn't want to ask Cissy next week end or ever. Once Cissy had taken Gary "She couldn't do It now;" Judith thoueht with satisfaction. She said: "That's an idea! Shall 1 mail the invitation or will you take it to her?" Either way. I'll probably see her during the week." He was seeing uissy Luckily she didn't care- Down With A Bang! CISSY, dressing In Judith's bed room for the dance given to honor the buyers and their wives, eased a sown over her white shoulders. It was a black gown, filmv and simDle with the sim plicity of extreme expensiveness. She said: "Nice shack." Judith agreed: I m crazy about it." "Rube Is doing well at his lob, Isn't he?" "Evidently. Rube s wife spread cold cream thickly over her straight little nose, "He's had a raise. "Good!" "PerhaDs he owes that to your interest, Cissy?" "Not at all! things are moving better since Rube took a hand, Cissy smoothed her dress over sum hips, but there s more to it man mat." Judith asked no questions. She kept on spreading cold cream. Cissy, determined to pursue this subject said: "There's a lot more to it than that." "Than what?" Idly. "My interest." Cissy turned to the mirror: "Galbreath knows a good timberman when he sees one. Is he here again? "Yes." "I think I saw hlnvthe day I ar rived. Fat man with pig eyes isn't he?" The eyes are the least of his piglike qualities." is ne in inis campi "No, across the mountain." "It's gaver on that side?" "Much." For a moment Cissy busied her self pinning down a refractory curl with an invisible pin. Thi; done she said on sudden thought bver notice what a see-saw life Is? One side goes way uu fights to stay up comes down bang!" ducuin laugnea gayiy: inai.' the one thing t have learned abou' life, Cissy. I've usually had tin end , seat that gets the hardest bump." "Guess you have at that," Cissy admitted grudgingly, "1 wasn'' thinking or you though, but ol Gary Brent." "Gary? What of him?" "Ha! She's Interested at last," Cissy decided. Leisurely she un pinned the curl and worried it with a comb before she answered: "He's had the up end for quite a while. He's due to come down that's all." ' "Just what do you mean?" Judith hoped her voice was steady. "Galbreath is looking around foi a new superintendent. The news struck Judith like s stone between the eyebrows, stun ning her. Then suddenly as a Christmas tree ball shatters, hei perfect world smashed about hei head. If Galbreath got new su perintendent Gary would go home go somewhere. Leave her herr Leave her to desolation She couldn't bear it. She wouldn't be lieve it Monday: L'lssjr Isrs her earls on r table.

Strange as It seems, no other state can claim this distinction. Originally, Idaho formed a part of the Oregon Country claimed Jointly by Spain, Russia, Great Britain and the United States. Spain relinquish ed her claim In 1810 Russia In 1834. Great Britain and the United States then held the region Jointly until 1846. when a treaty gave the U.

Throughout these years of disputed ownership, the United States upheld her Drlorltv rlahts estnbllahed In 180ft by the Lewis and Clnrk Expositions first known whlto men to visit Ida- All other states of the Union have, at one time or another, existed un der foreign rule. California has been under seven different flags; Florida and Louisiana under 10 each. pressing Invention Necessity, of-quoted mother of In vention, played her traditional role in the development of the automatic, foot-operated clothes-pressing ma chine. Handicapped by a dislocated shoul der, Adon J. Hoffman, tailor's ap prentice In a small Syracuse, N. Y , shop, found himself unable to han dle the heavy goose tailors of that time used In pressing. Hoffman set out to build a foot operated pressing machine so that he could continue his work. He obtained his salary for six months in advance, built the machine and eventually opened a little shop of his own. A stranger who chanced to visit Hoffman's shop became interested In the presser and financed a company to build and market It. Hoffman, by this stroke of luck, was able even tually to retire a millionaire because of a dislocated shoulder and an adaptable mind.

Actually, the red corpuscles are not red but yellow; their vast number gives rise to the reddish appearance. 24 Couples Marry Without Authority LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 14.
