PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MATT TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 27. 1939. After A Man's Heart by JEAN RANDALL ..aiLRDAY. Tim learnt thai . teat ilv. lilky Mi uiho bought Dock the land fh previously tricked him intoAuilnp. frl tells Tim that LoHhom, not the. t'-ns to Mump Chapter 19 Sweet And Trusting THERE'S not another girl?" For an instant the sweetness de lerted Iris' voice, and it was mere ly sharp and a little snnu. Tim shook his head. "If you mean by that am I in love with another girl. no. Not likely, after the jolt you gave me lasi summer. There is, however, a mighty good friend of mine "Feminine gender?" "It's Buff Carroll, the daughter of the cartoonist." In a few words he explained his renting the ranch, his motor accident, uun a Deing in Boulder, "to take some courses at the University." Seeing incredulity deepen in her eyes, ne went on. "I give you my word there's never been a word of love-making between us. In fact, we quarreiea rather sharply this very aiiernoon. Shi' verv different from you, Ins. Small and self-reliant, and know ing her own mina on every sua iect." "Meaning I'm helpless, and don't know my own mina i suppose you re right, Tim dear, most lemi ninp women are more or less de . pendent upon men. I . . . you'll novpr know what courage it took to to well, I don't want to keep reminding you of it but alter an I did get the money together and buy back your land so you and George ... I suppose George hates mo. too "Don't talk like that." he begged "Ho doesn't hate you, nor do I. I told you I'm not sure just how I feel. You'll have to give me time to get my bearings. This all came out of a clear sky tor me. you know, while all the time you were plan ning " He stopped abruptly. The thought of Iris, sweet, helpless Iris actually planning to make what restoration she could, brought a lump into his throat. Somehow he got away without taking her into his arms, though she came close to him when they said goodby, not actually offering her mouth, but tilting her head in the provocative way he remem bered. Curiously enough his first thought the next morning was of Buff. He had an acute desire to tell her what Iris had done'to win for Iris the girl's approval. Provi dentially, h. thought, George was nut of town for a few days, there fore the news could be told first of 11 to Buff. And over one of WebbV's most eVIiriotis lunches he tried to ex plain. "She's a trusting, Innocent sort of a girl . . . it's almo.it made her ill all these months knowing that she's been the unconscious partner to a fraud, I mean. She " Buff, waiting for him to go on ami seeing that he was unable to, ejaculated politely, "Yes?" Some thing in the crisp monosyllable made Tim redden. It was as if a child had called the attention of an adult to a basin of water, pro claiming it the ocean. Amused agreement seemed Buff's sole com ment on the story of Iris's nobility. Nothing could have strength ened Iris's cause more greatly at the moment Who was this child of twenty that she could doubt Tim's Judgment upon the facts? True, he lad been fooled badly fooled last summer; but much of his self-respect had been restored by Iris's declaration that it was Latshaw, and not she, who had conceived the plot. Tim had barely laid eyes on the other man. It was no dis credit to him that he had not been on the defensive against a danger he could not know existed! 'Sick With Misery' "yES," he said firmly. "And you ' needn't look like that either. Buff. It's perfectly plain what you're thinking: that Iris tricked me once and will try it again. But I ask you to look at the facts. She did buy back those mines and all the land around them, she has nothing whatever to gain by re turning. Even with the money Nes bit now has for me, I'm not many jumps from actual poverty. On the other hand, it took a lot of moral courage to come back and face the town, after all the papers said about her." "Did she see the papers?" Buff wanted to know. "I understood she was many miles from Colorado be for the the scheme in which she was an Innocent participant was made public. Also she went with this man Latshaw, didn't she? I'm not a stickler for convention, Tim. You ought to know thatl But surely a girl doesn't run awav with a man they drove in his car. didn't thev? and not realize It was a trifle unusual, to say the least. "She was so sick with mlcrv when she found what Latshnw had done, that she didn't stop to think of anvthinff but cotline nwnv. Shr she wanted me to halo her. so she left that note. She felt it was the only way to to help me; just to take herself out of my life and let me think the worst of her." "So she's back now?" He scowled at her. "Buff, be fairl People do all sorts of things when they're emotionally upset. Look at me when I was at the ranch. Half the time I didn't know whether I was conducting a brilliant conver sation with you. or merely sitting in gloomy silence. Iris, poor child, was frantic; her one thought was to get away. Later, she set herself to save the money so George and I would not lose everything we had. It seems to me I don't know how another girl looks at these things but viewing it with strict impartiality, it seems to me a pretty fine thing for Iris to do!" Buff pushed away her salad plate. "Do you view it with strict impartiality, Tim?" "What do you mean?" he de manded angrily. "If you think I'm still in love with Iris, Bulf " She put her elbows on the table, her chin in her palms, and looked at him. "Well, Tim, aren't you? Aren't you all quivery inside? Surely it isn't just tiie return of your money that's making you so happyl Didn't your heart turn flipflops when you saw Iris, didn't you have to swal low lumps in your-throat every time you tried to speak to her?" He nodded miserably. "You've described it perfectly. But still . . Buff, I don't know! I wish I did!" he said a trifle wildly. "She seems to me just as sweet and lovely as ever with this buying back that land added. Her voice the way she walks . . . Buff, it's all there! All I've missed for five long months." "Then why arc you hesitating? What's all the oration about? Why didn't you open this talk by an nouncing that you and Iris are en gaged, and doing your explaining afterwards?" 'Will You Help Me?' HIS eyes sought his plate. "It ought to be that way, of course. I feel like a heel because I I hesitate even. But when you've once lost confidence in a person even unjustly it's a bit hard to to let yourself go again. Buff, we're good friends, you and I. Will you help me? I mean, I'd like to bring Iris to see you. I'd like you two girls to to be to gether a good deal. And then I'd like vou to tell me what vou reallv think about no. I don't mean that. of course. It implies a doubt of her which doesn't of course It doesn't! exist at all in mv mind But still I'd like you to know her well." Buff Carroll, six years younger than this man who fidgeted in his chair across the table from her. smiled a little wryly. She knew herself to be his senior in experi ence by a dozen years; she doubted if the big, simple man who had very nearly succumbed to the shock of finding the girl he loved an apparent adventuress, would ever attain her ' ,vn cool ability to appraise others. The longing to protect him. above all from Iris, grew stronger with each moment -that she watched him, writhing under the knowledge his mind was insisting upon, but chivalrously prepared to defend Iris even from himself. Buff smiled and laid a small hand on his big one. Bring her out to tea tomorrow afternoon," she said. "And, Tim I don't mean to thrust advice on you when you haven't asked for it, but . . . mightn't it be belter to well, to withhold judgment on the whole affair for a little while? Water has a way of settling, you know, and becoming clear so one can see what is there and what isn't. I mean it's still all prctlv confused, isn't it. and no harm will be done by waiting a few days a week or so?" He caught the little hand and held it closely. A great wave of relief had swept the debris of troubled thought from his mind. "You're one swell girl, Buff," he assured her. "And you're right, of course. It's it's only fair to Iris to wait until well, as you say. until everything is cleared up." At the door he turned for a last question. "You don't doubt my be lief in hpr?" She shook her head. "I don't doubt anything, Tim. In fact, I'm surer of my facts than ever be fore." "No!" exploded George Weekes. "Not a word of it! If you choose to swallow this bedtime story, it's your own afTair: but not for me!" He tossed a soiled shirt onto the closet floor and rummaged in the bureau drawer for a clean one. Tim said patiently, "But she did buy the land, George! What earth ly motive would she have in doing that unless she " "How should I know!" Weekes snapped. "There may be silver around there, after all, and she and Latshaw want to regain possession of the territory." "You know good and well (here's not." This silenced Weekes for the moment. He remembered that Tim had spent all his leisure time and some that he should h.ivo im. ployed in the laboratory, testing out the possibilities of ore in that worthless property. Whatever mo tive inspired Ins to return and George was stubbornly sure it was not a worthy one! he had to dis card the idea of material gain from the mines. Conllnurd tomorrow.
