PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MATT TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1940. (Due jjelovel BY LOUISE PLATT HAUCK . I.XTERDAY; Sut wondari hi her brother ii so worried jbout her future. Does it mean that he uunU to set married? The afternoon following their talk the parks her car on the river bluff, and it enraged when another car crathtt into her. Chapter Three Gift Of Rosea "rONTI" the young man pro s'' tested feebly, turning his eyes from the drop below. "You can't say anything stronger than I'm saying to myself. The only excuse for me if it is an excuse! is that I had a rather upsetting piece of news just as I took over the car and it made me forget everything else. Also I've always kept everything in such order in this car it never occurred to me any man would return it in such a condition." He opened the door and climbed out, at once proving himself a true prophet. His knees bent slow ly beneath him, and if it hadn't been for Sue's Arm little hand at his elbow he would have col lapsed ignominiously at her feet. "Never scratched a fender in all the years I've driven," he mut tered. "Never killed even a yel low pup. And nowl" "Sit on one of these rocks," he directed. "No, facing away from the river, IdiotL Now get little, partly from the chill In the air, partly from reaction after her fright. To divert her mind she speculated idly as to the sort of young man this was who had been too greatly occupied with his own thoughts to inspect his car, so ter rified by the nearness of a fatal accident that he had wellnigh collapsed, but withal brisk, deci sive, even authoritative when con fronted by the need for action. He was tall, broad-shouldered and blue-eyed; that much she re membered. For the rest she had received an impression of super lative good clothes worn just to the right degree of shabbiness, thick blond hair uncovered, a pleasant voice. It lacked only a few minutes of the dinner hour when she let her self quietly into the apartment She had her own reasons for wishing to escape Allen's notice. She was relieved to have Maggie inform her that her brother had telephoned; he would not be home for dinner and Miss Sue was not to wait for him if he had not re turned in time for Barbara Webb's party. "And I must say," Maggie added reproachfully, "you don't look like you ought to be going out till all hours yourself. Miss Suel You passed me your word you'd get home in time to lie down for an hour or so before dinner." "I'm all right," Sue told her -L til . I ir 1 A note of horror crept into his voice.

You're hurtl My God, I've killed you after all!" "Bit my lip," she retorted, and dabbed at It with a scrap of hand kerchief. "Get hold of yourself, can't you? I loathe hysterics." The word Jerked him upright ts perhaps it had been intended to do. After a moment he said in controlled tone: "Sorryl Never acted like this before In my life, give you my word! It was only the idea that I couldn't control the car and you so little, look ing like a child with that red scarf on . . . we'll skip it!" he assured her with a wan smile. "Unless you want to have me arrested? I'm in entire agreement with you if you do." She shook her head absently, her eyes on the jammed.cars. "This is the dickens of a mess," the announced finally. "1 can't get out until your car ts moved, and I don't seem to care for the idea of your starting it." "It'll hold In reverse." "Maybe and again maybe not. According to your own tale, you don't know much about what it will or will not do. I think we'd better walk down to the nearest telephone and call for a man from a garage. It's beginning to get dark, you see." "I'll walk, you mean." He stood up again, this time purposefully and strongly. "You sit down here unless you want to get into your car and wait " "No. I think I won't do that!" "Don't blame youl I won't be ten minutes. I think I remember a little storo at the foot of the hill. I'll call from there, if you'll give me the name of a good garage. Stranger in your town, you see!" Tall, Blue-Kyed SHE snapped out the informa tion he asked for, and seated herself on one of the great rocks. Lights were beginning to prick through the dusk. She shivered a shortly. "I'll rest after I've eaten. Loads of time. Don't fuss, old dearl" Dozens and Dozens IT was a good party, lasting un til four, and she slept until nearly noon the next day, oblivi ous to Allen's tiptoed visit to her, door before he left for his ofllce, to Maggie's anxious peeps into the darkened room. She was sitting up in bed, yawning and relaxed, when the servant rapped deci sively. "Well, you have had a good rest and no mistake, Miss Sue! Here's a box just come for you." "A boxl A packing case, don't you moan?" The girl gasped at its proportions. James Kettle was the current donor of floral offerings; and James' flowers invariably ap peared in a neat square box. as tidy and conservative as he was himself. Maggie was having some difllculty maneuvering this huge affair through the door in spite of its lack of weight. In another moment they were both gasping, young mistress and the old woman. "He must have bought up an entire rose house! Dozens and dozens of 'em, Maggie! Who on earth!" Her gay evening, the long hours of sound sleep had erased the recollection of yesterday's adven ture. Now it returned to her sharply. Something in the ex travagant profusion of the gift re called the man who had so nearly killed her the day before. He was a person to go from one extreme to another, she thought, smiling. She examined his card with Interest. "Mr. Robert Trenton," it read; and below in very black and firm script: "Thank God they're not for your funeral!" She began to laugh, softly at first and then so whole-heartedly that she laid her cheek down on her bunched knees. What a what a black and white sort of person this was! No subtleties to him, no shades of meaning! Some thing rather fine about his abso lute acceptance of the seriousness of the attair. Sue liked that. Continued tomorrow IN IEN DAY PERIOD By the Associated Press Reports from the Seven Seas Indicated today that Germany's naval warfare has slumped somewhat. During the past 10 days only four ships are known to have been sunk by u-boats, none by German warships. Since the scuttling of the Graf Spce the whereabouts of her sister ships. Deutschland and Admiral Scheer, have remained a mystery. Since Saturday night reports of 12 sinkings have been made, but five were confirmations of vessels destroyed much earlier In the war. Two, the British trawler Barbara Robertson and the Swedish freighter Svarton, were, torpedoed and a third, the Swedish freighter Kiruna, was attacked and reported sinking. Three casualties were laid to mines, one to the German freighter Glurksburg being chased ashore by a British war ship and the other to a German plnne nttack in the North Sea. The 5-day period produced only one known death but 56 seamen were reported missing and probably were dead. The known toll of sea war fare after slightly over four months of conflict was 286 ships with a gross tonnage of 1.017.86!). More than 2.728 have been killed or drowned.
