PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MATT TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 1&40 YESTERDAY: Th young man, tchoit rar crashes into Sue's be cause ot tad break, apologizes abjectly. The next day he sends her dozens of rota. Chapter Four 'Crown Prince SturT SUE deflected Maggie'i inquisi tive questions by sending her aiter receptacles (or the blossoms. "Every vase we have In the house and I doubt if they will be enoughl Line 'em up on the kitchen table, Mae darhn', and fill 'em with water, fll be out to ar range these beauties by then." She was trailing about the living-room in her bathrobe when the telephone rang. Tor you," Maggie laid briefly. "I've waited Just at long aj I can!" exclaimed an impatient voice. "I've been sitting here gnawing my nail down to the quick until I thought you were up. How are you?" It was no po lite inquiry but an anxious de mand (or news. "All right, thank you but nearly smothered in roses. Are there any at all left in town?" "Bother the rosesl Tell me about you. Not stiff, not the least bit bruised? How is your lip?" "Perfectly all right. Praise be to lipstick, it didn t show at all last night Then the lateness of the hour occurred to her and she (aid curiously: "It's noon. Why did you think you'd have to waft so long to call me? You couldn't have known I went to a party last night!" "I did though. I'm staying at the Benton Club, and they were talking of a Miss Webb's affair: mentioned you as a friend of hers." "But how did you know who" "Looked up your license num ber, of coursel Sue, dear, when may I come up and see for my self how-" "Heyl" she said aggrlevedly. "You're not to call me Sue, with or without descriptive adjectives. We haven't met socially. I'm sure that" His disgusted voice Interrupted her protest "What the dickens does either of us care about the social end of it? I all but mur dered you yesterday. If that doesn't give me a right to call on you, I don't know what does!" She began to laugh helplessly. What a precipitant young man this wasl "I'm tempted to quote a popular book title and say 'Stay Out of My Life!' You're a violent sort of person." "Are you dressed? Had your breakfast lunch? I'll ring your bell on the stroke of three, he told her, said goodby and hung up before she could refuse her con sent if she had been minded to. It was, however, two and not three o'clock when Maggie ad mitted him. "Thought you might give me the slip," he informed her coolly, handing the openly disapproving old woman his hat ana gloves. "There was not the forgiving note in your voice I craved to hear. I take it you're still simmering with wrath toward me?" She shook her head. "I wasn't until you barged in here Just now. How do you know I haven't a weak heart? One shock right after another like this " "Don't Joke," he bade her stern ly. "I tell you I didn't sleep a wink all nichtl Every time I shut my eyes I saw that confounded river crawling below so terribly far below! and you, a little thing with a bit of scarlet silk around your neck, curled up like a kitten in your carl" Without waiting for permission, he pulled forward a chair close to where she sat. and subsided heavily into It "I've had some scares in my time, but never like thntl If you'd gone over that blulT I'd have sent my car after you, give you my word!" Sue frowned. Maggie was, she knew perfectly, hovering close to the kitchen door. She had been Sue's nurse years ago and still preserved an attitude of authority toward the girl. She would report this to Allen, and Allen would be annoyed, and there would be an end to the solitary visits she paid to Wycth Hill. Young Business Man . THAT would have been most sensible!" she said hitinfflv. "And now may we forget the whole affair? You see for your self I'm whole and unscathed. You've apologized adequately, not to say profusely! with roses. Her eyes roved about the flower be decked room. "1 take it for granted you're merely passing through the town" He shook his head, the serious ness of his manner already gone. "Never take anything for granted In this day and age. Sue darling! Far from passing through I'm about to become one of your most promising young business men. Hadn't you heard? Does the name Trenton mean nothing to you? I'll wager it does to your brother. 'Trenton's Treadonj. Do I make myself clear? "The new shoe factory!" "A bull's-eye, no less. I'm HI" "The whole factory?" "Practically now." His face sobered "Mv father died several months ago. He was president of the concern. 1 m more or less stepping into his shoes no pun intended. I was In England and Gold Hill Gold Hill. Jnn. 6 Spl.

Ulf Oib- BY LOUISE PLATT HAUCK then I was busy settling Dad's affairs in the East and that's how I happened to lend my .-ar to this guy who wanted to do some folklore research in the Ozarks." He leaned back as though he felt he had completed a detailed auto biography in those few Jerky sen tences. "Okay, Miss Davenport?" They surveyed each other frankly, slim, dark-eyed girl and blue-eyed stalwart man. A for giving grin began to twitch at the corners of Sue's lips. There was an endearing frankness about thic Trenton person; a trustful belief in the goodwill of the world to ward his appreciative self which was hard to resist. "That's right!" he encouraged her. "In the words of the song: 'smile, smile, smile!' You look much, much nicer when you smile. All dark people do. There's a touch of grimness in knitted black brows, did you know it? And I have no intention of begin ning what is going to be one of the most charming friendships that ever came into my life with grimness." "You take a lot for granted, Mr. Trentonl" "Bob," he corrected. "It's one of the easiest of all names to pro nounce. Even a baby can say it Sue now is harder. The sibilant sound presents certain difficulties which do not appear to be sur mounted before the second or third year or so my married friends tell me. Not that I've ever known any girl named Sue; but I had an Aunt Susan" She was too young not to -chuckle at his blithe audacity. En couraged by the sound, he beamed at her. "Now we're getting some place!" Effortless Ease ALMOST before his roses were faded. Bob Trenton had be come an intimate of the little household. It was accomplished with the effortless ease character istic of him. "Met a peach of a guy today," Allen had announced that first' night He interrupted himself amazedly. "Golly, look at the flowers! You and Kettle settled it between you?" She dimpled at him as she un folded her napkin. "Jim? Jim would regard such a display as in the worst possible taste. It's a new man." A sudden thought occurred to her. "Maybe it's your man, Allen your peach of a guy. This town's not so large that he could remain undiscovered long; not a shrinking violet like Bob Trenton, anyway 1 "Trenton! That's the namel Trenton's Treadon Shoes, you know. But he's only been here a day or so, he tells me. How come the lavish floral offering?" "He bumped into me yesterday afternoon," she answered, pru dently suppressing the details. "No harm done, but the roses are a peace offering." "I asked him out to dinner to morrow night All right?" "All right," she said demurely. She was young enough to enjoy meeting this personable young man before her friends, did The town's social set was small and closely knit It would not be long bcfoie Trenton was a part of It And as the days went on, she was amused and a little startled at his whirlwind attentions to herself. He had behaved from the first as though he had some claim upon her. If he had not informed him self of her activities for the day before he left tho previous eve ning, his telephone call caught her before she could leave the house in the morning. He made no secret of his devo tion; rather invited attention to it If she appeared at some function with Jim Kettle, or Forest Webb, or any other of the men who had known her for years, Bob was al ways to be found hovering neai the door, awaiting her entrance. Ho would join her as mattor-of-factly as though it had been ar ranged for him to relieve her es cort of all responsibility toward her. "Who does he think he is. any how?" Forest would growl. "Just because he's Trenton of Trendons with a Harvard accent and Lon donmade clothes, doesn't give him the right to monopolize you all evening. Sue. Unless you're en gaged?" he demanded. bhe shook her nead. "ties Just giving me a rush. And why on earth do you let him bluff you. Forest? He asked me to come with him tonight and I told him I'd already promised you. Whv don't you stand up for yourself?1' He grinned in frank defeat "He's the white-headed bov of the Chamber of Commerce, and Dad and his friends won't have him scared away; not while he's negotiating for a branch factory here, at all events." "It's love you, love your Job, Is It Forest?" "You betl I hope to get married one of these fine days, honey chile, and 1 don't see old Allen turning you over to a jobless husband. Be sides, this Eastern guy will be on his way pretty soon I hope and trust! Just sit tight, and don't get your head turned by all this crown prince stuff." "You think he's amusing him self with me?" she asked in a voire sweet enough to have warned him. Continued tomorrow son and children.
