MEDFORD MATT. TRTBTJNE, MEDFORD, OREGONr. FRTDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1929. After A Man's Heart by JEAN .l. HD AY: Tim has bten ttjj uosorbed in his own unhap pmejl over Iris DeMuth, to no tics Buff's unhappmess over her parents. Buff breaks down ond eonfid" in Tim. He flduiiM her to lead her oira life. Chapter Seven New Arrival TIM and Buff noticed a car draw ing up. It stopped by the aide of the house and several persons alighted from it: a win, oiuism nun . nhimn. handsomely dressed woman, a girl who was much too fat. They began taking suitcases from the back of the car; dozens of suitcases, it seemed to the two who looked on irom me winuuw above. AfWinc annnared suddenly. "Well, here we are!" said the thinnish man. "A day earlier than we expected, but it worked out that way. Atkins murmured something. "Nonsense! Nonsense! We paid t in advance, didn't we? We agreed on the date? Well, what else is Were to unaerstanui neiy me in with these suitcases. My wife and daughter are tired. We'd like to go upstairs at once." Buff was unconscious that he had seized Tirr.' arm in a vise like grip. "He's done it again," she whis pered, ilea rented tne rancn pnin." Hi; answered her thoughtfully. "Sure enough, my month la up to morrow. He must have dated them at the same time ne put tne aaver tisement in the Denver paper." A rare sound broke upon the air. Tim was chuckling. " 'Able man, At kins!' Shall we go down and deal with him. Buff?" A few minutes later. Buff and Tim Corliss faced the foreman ac cusingly. "Well. Atkins!" said Buff. "Ain't much I can aay," mut tered Atkins. "You know every thing, don't you?" "I wonder if I do! Have you rented the place, month by month, throughout the winter?" The foreman shook his head. "I iut an ad in a Denver paper. Mr. Inrliss and this man Hunt an- awcred it Mr. Corliss wanted it right away but Mr. Hunt, he want ed it through October. I didn't see no partikler harm in it. Miss Buff. Honest! Just letting them stay here. I was going to foot the bills for supplies, of course. Mrs. Webb was gettin' tired havin' only me to cook for. When you atop to think of it," he continued mournfully, "it ain't really no crime. How could I know you'd come back here, or Mr. Corliss would hurt himself and stay on after his month was up?" Tim regarded him with cynical amusement. "And what are your pkiiis now, Atkins?" Atkins made his accusers a pres ent of the entire problem. "I got my things packed and I'm Iravin' this afternoon. You kin do what you like about the Hunts. They don't seem to want to take no for ;in answer." fluff considered. Atkins might as wen go, sne tnougnt. no would hnvj to eventually. Dr. Westland had assured her he could get an other man. "All right, Atkins," she said, thereby surprising the man who had expected protest. "But let me be sure of one thing: is this the last in your series of tenants or will they keep on turning up here, month after month?" Tim struck in: "You know Miss Carroll could prosecute you, At kins, I suppose?" Victims Of Fraud FOR one second an ugly change took place in the lanky fore man. His eyes narowed, menacing lines bracketed his mouth. "Mebbe she could, but she'll have to catch up with me first!" He turned on his fiecl and was gone. Almost at once his car roared past the house. "Let him go," Buff said. "I'm glad to bo rid of him. I'll call Dr. Wostland and ask him to send out the man he recommended. Mean while there are these people Hunt, didn't he say their name is? I shall have to talk to them." The opportunity came almost at once. The husband and father desrended the stairs, glancing about him with an air of taking possession of his own. BufI moved forward to meet him. "I'm Miss Carroll, Mr. Hunt, and I understand that Atkins, my fa ther's foreman, rented vou this place for October. He had no au thority to do so. I shall give you back whatever you paid him, of course. I'm very sorry you should have been the victim of a fraud." Mr. Hunt smiled tolerantly. "My dear Miss Carroll, how do i know that it was a fraud? 1 answered an advertisement; paid cash in ad vance; acted in entire good faith. Now you tell me Atkins had no right to rent this ranch. Until you ran prove it we shall stay on, my wife and daughter and I. I'm not in the habit," he told her impressive ly, "of being fooled." Tim took quiet charge of the conversation. "You were this time, Mr. Hunt. So was I. 1 rented the place for September. I'd been here only a few days when Miss Carroll ar rived to close up the house. It's too bad, but Mr. Carroll is the real loser since he's refunding the rent that Atkins has gone oil with." Mr. Hunt spoke three sentences, all indicating a menial process whirh moved somewhat crcakily but logically. "So Atkins has gone, eh? And U. OF 0. MAY HAVE KLOENE. Oot. 13 (API Univer sity of Oregon rooters msy soon see a bare-kneed !ilp-swtngtn drum ma Jorem leadliw Its parndlng bnd. It was Indlmted on tne cnnipus ttdnv.

If Miss Carroll honored your er reservations, to speak, why not mine?" "Mr. Corliss had a motor acci dent," Buff intervened a little stilfly. "Also I have no intention of keeping the house open during October. I m sorry," she said again, "but I'm afraid you'll have to make other arrangements. It's not worth your while to unpack. "I beg to differ with you. As a matter of fact, we are unpacked. I shall telephone my lawyer in Den ver to look into this matter. I have my receipt" he touched his coat pocket and I think you'll find it will be difficult to to evict me." He was so pleased with the word he repeated it. "To evict me, Miss Carroll. No, I feel quite sure I'm legally secure in my position." "Buff," said Tim, "may I handle this for you? I'll do a little tele phoning myself to a lawyer I know in Boulder. I think we'll get pretty rapid results." "May I ask your own position here, young man? You came as a tenant a stranger to Miss Carroll, or so I understand. You were slightly injured, and you remained in spite of the or so you'd have me believe! illegal proceedings carried on by Atkins. You now ad dress your landlady by her first name. May I ask if the household has consisted during this time of you two young people alone?". Alimentary Achievements TIM kept his temper with an ef fort. "By no means! Aside from Atkins, Miss Carroll has been chaperoned by Mrs. Webb, the housekeeper. Not that I feel any explanation is owing you; simply to keep the record clear. I advise you to pack, Mr. Hunt. Buff, I'll telephone now and get this matter straightened out." He swung his crutches toward the living room where the telephone was. Mrs. Webb appeared almost at once to announce dinner and Buffs hospitable heart prompted her to invite her obnoxious tenants to stay even though her anger still simmered at Hunt's implications. Her wrath was not lessened by the significant glance he gave the fat cook. Wearing her apron, her broad red face damn from her ex ertions, she looked exactly what she was: a servant; by no means a chaperon in tne conventional sense of the word. Mrs. Hunt and her daughter de scended at once. "Maudie May," said her father, with a proud wave of his hand toward the fat Girl. Buff with difficulty concealed her joy. "Maudie May Hunt till sne is tired she won't find a resting nlace on this ranch! she mur mured to Tim as she followed her guests to the shaded dining room. ' 1 m atraid she will overnight," at least." he replied moodilv. "I can't get hold of the fellow I want just now nor anybody else for a while. Big case in court and all the legal lights arc tied up. I'll call again later on but this is just the silly sort of thing that takes time to settle. "I should think all you'd have to no would be to call tne shenli, she told him. He shook his head. There was no time for further talk between them. Mrs. Webb had done her best or her worst for the new ar rivals. Platters of fried chicken, mounds of fluffy mashed potatoes mixed with cream, a great bowl of crisp salad, homemade jam and pickles, a green apple pie which melted in the mouth from begin ning to end it was a triumph of culinary art. Mr. Hunt and his wifo ate with openly expressed ap proval. Maudie May settled herself earnestly to the task of consuming as much food as was possible with out actually bursting, BufI thought. Hit fascinated gaze lin gered on the fat girl. Tim also could not tear his eyes away from the absorbing spectacle. There was no hurry, no temper amental skipping from this dish or that, Maudie May was out to make a workmanlike job of dinner by no stretch of the imagination could it be called luncheon and make it she did. She neglected nothing. Crisp stalks of celery were given the same consideration as the savory chicken. Biscuits ap parently constituted a sort of filler to occupy whatever crevices there might be in the meal. Her jaws moved rhythmically, tirelessly, stopping only whcn'Mnudie May drank from the tall glass of iced tea beside her plate, a glass which was several times refilled. BulT began to feel choked with food, though she herself ate very little. Tim too trilled with his meal. Occasionally the proud fa ther of this remarkable diner swept a glance about the table as though to call attention to his daughter's alimentary achieve ments. There was no need. Neither Buff nor Tim could have looked away if the house had caught afire. Kven Mrs. Webb passed from delicht In this appreciation of her efforts to definite uneasiness. When Maudie May asked for and re reived a second piece of pie, drenched It liberally with thick cream and consumed it with the same earnest attention she had given her first mouthful, the housekeeper's worried glance sought Buff. The girl shook her head slightlv. "Pretty good lunch!" It was the first time Maudie Mav had spoken save to request that the biscuits be passed or her nlnte re plenished. "Hope dinner is as nice." hue yawned without botherinu to cover up a mouth as frankly open as a sleepy puppy s. (Juess I II so up and lay down a while. Ma. Kinda tired with so much driving."
